Jinyi Town Mountains and Rivers

Chapter 776 Old case, early clues

He Liu in the study of He Mansion took the painting Zhao Dongqin got from his bedroom and hung it on the wall.

Staring at the painting, He Liu said to himself, "The sun is rising over the sea? Before Zhao Dongqin died, why did he leave such a clue with his fingers?"

At this moment, Yan, the maid, walked into the bedroom: "Master Liu, Mrs. Yang, please see me."

He Liu asked, "Which Mrs. Yang?"

Ziyan replied: "You are the wife of your son Yang Wan."

He Liu hurriedly said, "Please hurry up."

Not long after, Mrs. Yang entered the study.She gave He Liu a Wan An gift first, and then said: "Godfather, you haven't seen Yang Wan for more than half a month, and Yang Wan seems to have stopped eating because of this matter."

Yang Wan has been suffering from dementia for more than six years.It looks like a three-year-old child.He Liu, the godfather, did not visit him, and he lost his temper like a child.

He Liuyi was anxious when he heard this: "People are iron, food is steel. How can you do without food. Let's go to your house."

Not long after, He Liu followed Mrs. Yang to Yang's house in the east of the city.

Although Yang Wan has long since ceased to serve in Jinyiwei.However, He Liu asked Emperor Wanli for a special favor to pay his salary.Therefore, Yang's house can still support several servants and maidservants.

A maid is feeding Yang Wan.Yang Wanyi shook his head and knocked the spoon aside.

Seeing this, He Liu hurried forward, took the porridge bowl from the handmaid, and ordered: "Go, get another spoon."

When Yang Wan saw He Liu, a foolish smile finally appeared on his face.

The majestic Jinyiwei Yang Zhenfu envoy back then is now drooling from the corner of his mouth.

He Liu said to himself: "Oh, Wan'er, if the emperor hadn't ordered you to accompany the military officials to the Shenji camp to inspect the military equipment, you would not have been assassinated, let alone..."

Speaking of this, He Liu's words came to an abrupt end!

Six years ago, none other than He Xinyin's student, Zhang Haixu, assassinated Yang Wan.After Yang Wan was assassinated, He Liu believed that Zhang Haixu's assassination of Yang Wan was just to avenge his teacher, and no one ordered him to do so, so he didn't investigate the case any further.

Rising sun at sea?Hai Xu?Before Zhao Dongqin died, did he want to say that the assassination of Yang Wan back then was related to him and Dongchang? !

After feeding Yang Wan, He Liu wiped his mouth again: "Wan'er, I'm leaving first. I'll come see you again in a few days."

Yang Wan responded with a "hehehe" smile.

He Liu left Yang's residence and went straight to Jinyiwei Yamen.

Wang Zhizhen greeted him.

He Liu asked: "Zhizhen, go and invite Zhao Dongqin's family members to Beizhen Fusi! I want to question them one by one."

Wang Zhizhen cupped his hands and left.Not long after, he led his family members from Zhao's house to Beizhen Fusi.

He Liuyi went to court alone.He asked everyone if they had ever heard Zhao Dongqin mention a man named Zhang Haixu before.Neither the servant nor the housekeeper could tell clearly.

Only Zhao Dongqin's little friend Huaihua, after hearing this name, said: "Master He, I seem to have heard the master mention this person. Let me think about it."

He Liu's eyes lit up: "Don't worry, think carefully."

Finally, Huai Hua said: "About three years ago. Once, our master got drunk and said..."

He Liu stood up from the chair: "Say what?"

Huaihua said: "The master said that he lived for 35 years, and I am most sorry for a young man named Zhang Haixu before entering the palace."

He Liu asked: "What else? What else did he say?"

Huai Hua pondered for a moment, then replied: "Master said, a few years ago, he pointed Zhang Haixu to a dead end."

When He Liu heard this, he was able to confirm that Zhang Haixu's assassination of Yang Wan was instigated by others.And the person who instigated him was Zhao Dongqin who had just been poisoned.

He Liu continued to ask: "Didn't Zhao Dongqin tell you, why did he point Zhang Haixu to a dead end?"

Huai Hua shook her head: "That's not true."

He Liudao: "Okay, you go down first."

After Huaihua left, He Liu fell into thinking.

Zhao Dongqin and Yang Wan had no grudges in the past, and they have no grudges in recent days.Why did he order Zhang Haixu to assassinate Yang Wan?The only possibility is that Zhang Jing is standing behind Zhao Dongqin!

You know, at that time Dongchang was incompatible with Jin Yiwei, Zhang Jing and He Liu!Zhao Dongqin is Zhang Jing's godson, and Yang Wan is He Liu's confidant.If Zhao Dong Qin ordered someone to kill Yang Wan, he would be able to make great contributions in front of Zhang Jing!

Another thing is that just a few months after He Shizhong was killed, Yang Wan was assassinated.Are these two things related?Could the mastermind be the same person?

As soon as He Liu set his sights on Zhao Dongqin, Zhang Jing asked Emperor Wanli for an order to release Zhao Dongqin to Guangdong as a guardian eunuch.Before taking office, Zhao Dongqin was poisoned.Nine times out of ten, Zhang Jing killed someone to silence him!
All of He Liu's doubts now point to Zhang Jing, the chief inspector of ceremonies!
At this time, Chen Ju walked into the lobby: "Master Liu, you just asked Zhao Dongqin about all the family members, did you get any clues?"

He Liudao: "Eunuch Chen, this Zhao Dongqin is very likely related to the murder of Shizhong and the assassination of Yang Wan six years ago!"

Chen Ju was shocked: "What?"

He Liu told Chen Ju everything Sophora Hua said.

Chen Ju frowned: "So, now you suspect that Zhang Jing planned those two murders six years ago?"

He Liu nodded: "Yes. At that time, Zhang Jing had sufficient motives to plan these two cases."

Chen Ju showed a sad face: "Sixth Master, do you have sufficient evidence? Zhang Jing is in the hands of the Supervisor of Ceremonies anyway. If there is no evidence, we may be bitten back by him, saying that we have framed us."

He Liudao: "Evidence? There will always be it! When investigating a case, it is most taboo to have no object of suspicion. If there is an object of suspicion, the case will be easy to investigate."

Chen Ju was a little worried: "Sixth Lord. It has been six years since those two cases. If Zhao Dongqin is alive, the clues are not broken. Now that Zhao Dongqin has been poisoned, the clues will be broken when he comes to him..."

He Liudao: "The clues will not be placed on the bright side for us to take at will. If there is a direction, we can always find the clues. I hope that Shizhong will have a spirit in heaven, and he can bless me, a father, to find out the murderer. His real murderer!"

Chen Ju knew that even nine cows would not be able to pull back what Liu Ye had decided.As He Liu's friend, he knew better what the murder of He Shizhong and the assassination of Yang Wan meant to He Liu.

Chen Ju expressed his attitude: "Master Liu, Jinyi Weinan and Beizhen Fusi have three thousand warriors, you can call them at will! Even if we do our best, we must find out the truth! Huan Shizhong, Yang Wanyi Fair."

He Liu looked at Chen Ju with grateful eyes: "Eunuch Chen, thank you!"

In Yongshou Palace.

Zhang Jing stood listlessly beside Emperor Wanli on duty.He had an ominous premonition that danger was slowly approaching him.

Zhang Jing now felt that Liu Shouyou let him kill and silence, but He Liu would feel that he was trying to cover up.
