Back to Ming Dynasty as Zhu Biao

Chapter 404 Lying in the coffin is a severed finger
Originally thinking that Liu Xiong would fake his death, there must be no corpse in the coffin, but after Emperor Zhu ordered someone to open the coffin, he discovered that there was a corpse inside.

Before Liu Xiong's death, the prison doctor checked it, and the opening of the coffin this time was naturally checked by the prison doctor.

Han Yike said: "Your Majesty, this matter should be investigated again."

Kaiji snorted coldly and said, "Han Yushi is really ridiculous, do you want to pull out the corpse and behead it?"

Emperor Zhu frowned: "Okay, you all should be quiet, and we'll talk about it after returning to the Ministry of Punishment."

"Yes, Your Majesty." Kaiji and Han Yike stopped arguing.

Along the way, Zhu Biao didn't speak, there were too many strange things about this incident.

First, the jailer escorted the prisoner to the southwest at a critical moment. Although the name of the prisoner was kept secret and the facts were clear, it was too coincidental.

Second, Liu Shao suddenly left Beijing to do business, but when he heard that the coffin was about to be opened, he immediately appeared at the cemetery.

Did Liu Shao buy the Maxima?
He thought he was Mundo, going wherever he wanted?

It can only show that Liu Shao didn't leave the capital even half a step. Thinking of this, Zhu Biao immediately sent his servant to check the records at the gate of the city.

Three, even if it is rotten, the face is also rotten.Let Zhang Fuxing identify it.

Unexpectedly, Zhu Biaogang proposed to let Zhang Fuxing identify him, and Kaiji next to him said: "Liu Xiong will not be peaceful when he enters the earth, this is a loss of Yin virtue."

Emperor Zhu glared: "Kaiji, you say we're violating our virtues? You're so bold."

"Your Majesty, I just think that since the opening of the coffin is like this, it can only show that Zhang Fuxing is making false accusations for his own self-interest."

Zhu Biao's face is not very good.It's a coincidence that the clues are cut off every time this matter comes to a critical juncture.

When they approached the gate of the Ministry of Criminal Justice, the two knelt on the steps in front of the gate of the Ministry of Criminal Justice: "My son disappeared in the capital, sir, I did not lie."

The speaker has dry and disheveled hair, and looks like a young man.

"What's the matter with that man." Zhu Biao pointed and asked Kaiji.

Kaiji took a look, and sent someone to ask the person first.

"Xiaomin, a family member of Kunshan County, Suzhou Prefecture, has been in the capital for more than half a month. Those yamen don't accept Xiaomin's affairs. They can only come to the Ministry of Punishment to seek justice for my son."

Hearing the words clearly, Zhu Yuanzhang was really angry. The matter just now was still confused, and someone was missing again.For more than half a month, what did these yamen do for food.

When everyone walked to the entrance of the criminal department, Han Yike stepped forward to question the man, checked the relevant directions, and then handed it over to the yamen servants to bring him into the criminal department.

"Your Majesty, don't come close, in case this person wants to assassinate His Majesty." The servant of the Ministry of Punishment had heard about the corpse in the coffin a long time ago, so he was relieved and ran to Emperor Zhu to flatter him.

"If anyone could kill us, there would be no Ming court in this world, and we also came out of the dead." After Zhu Yuanzhang finished speaking, he went straight into the Yamen: "Bring this man, we have to ask him personally. .”

After finding out that Liu Xiong's coffin was not empty, Lao Zhu had no reason to go to the Ministry of Criminal Investigation again, but he was really unwilling.

It happened that two civilians came to the door, and they were reporting the case. Emperor Zhu immediately used this excuse to ask himself.

As for Zhang Fuxing, Lao Zhu knew that this person had read some books, so he deliberately asked Zhu Biao to stimulate Zhang Fuxing.

Ask Zhu Biao to tell Zhang Fuxing that Liu Xiong's coffin is indeed the person, and why he falsely accused the ordering officer.

Zhang Fuxing felt wronged, and began to argue vigorously.

Zhu Biao and Han Yike took Zhang Fuxing to sue as an excuse, took him to the lobby of the Ministry of Criminal Justice to meet Lao Zhu, and told Kaiji and them that it was the common people who kept suing.

When Zhu Yuanzhang saw the kneeling people below, he glanced at Kaiji: "It's not that we don't believe you, it's that the people are suffering."

Kaiji said: "Since the people have been wronged, they should try it properly."

The lobby was quiet, and Zhu Biao asked the old man on behalf of Lao Zhu: "Kunshan County, Suzhou Prefecture, what's your name?"

"Cao Min's name is Liang Sanyi, this is my youngest son, Liang Fang, and Cao Min's eldest son, Liang Zhi, was originally the accountant of the Liu family.

He goes home every month. He disappeared in Liu's house in the capital city three months ago. He disappeared three months ago. He went to Liu's house to look for him. Liu's family said they didn't know and had never seen him. "

"Caomin went to the yamen, and they all sent Xiaomin away after hearing that it was Liu's family."

Zhu Yuanzhang said, "Is that the Liu family?"

"Liu's Restaurant, Liu Shao."

"It's him again!" Old Zhu stood up and ordered Kaiji to bring Liu Shao immediately.

Han Yike asked: "Since you are looking for someone, what are the characteristics of your son, and his appearance must be clearly stated."

"My son Liang Zhi is left-handed, and he has six fingers on both hands." Liang Sanyi said.

Zhang Fuxing still wanted to speak, but Zhu Biao signaled him to be quiet first, and ordered Liu Shao to be brought here.Let's deal with Liang Sanyi first.

Liu Shao was an official before, and when he met Lao Zhu, he greeted him directly, and he was not afraid of danger.

"Liu Shao, let me ask you, do you have a accountant in Liu's Restaurant, named Liang Zhi."

"Return to Your Majesty, Mr. Cao Min's accountant is an old man, not Liang Zhi." Liu Shao replied.

"Liang Sanyi, do you know him?"

"Return to Your Majesty, Caomin recognizes him. He is Liu Shao. My son often mentions it when he goes home. I have met him several times." Liang Sanyi looked at Liu Shao carefully and replied.

Liu Shao glanced at Liang Sanyi, a trace of panic flashed in his eyes, but he quickly shook his head, saying that the Liu family had never had a accountant named Liang Zhi,
For a while, no one can prove who is lying.

The case has come to an impasse. Zhang Fuxing's case was originally a mess, but now Liang Sanyi is added to it.

Had to pause.

Lao Zhu was about to speak, and felt that his stomach was a little uncomfortable, so he motioned for Zhu Biao to ask questions here first, and Kai Ji led Lao Zhu the way.

Zhu Biao walked up to Liu Shao: "Liu Shao, when did you resign?"

"Return to Your Highness, Xiaomin Hongwu Year Two."

"Oh, by the way, is your restaurant Liu's restaurant, next time I'll go to your place for dinner alone."

"Your Highness is honored to be here."

Zhu Biao nodded: "Your son is called Liu Xiong."

"Yes, the boy's name is Liu Xiong."

"Your family's business is good, this Liang Zhi is Liuzhi." Zhu Biao asked.

"He is Six Fingers..."

"Your Highness, Xiaomin doesn't know Liang Zhi, so how do you know that he has six fingers?" Liu Shao trembled and hurriedly defended.

"Oh, it's all right." Zhu Biao signaled Liu Shao not to be nervous, and continued to pace there.

"Where have you been doing business these few days?" Zhu Biao asked.

"Return to Your Highness, Taiyuan, Shanxi."

"Liu Shao, it's been raining heavily in Shanxi these two days, is it easy to go straight?"

Liu Shao: "It's raining heavily, but the road is easy."

Zhu Biao's face turned cold: "The prefect of Taiyuan in Shanxi just gave a performance yesterday. It hasn't rained in Shanxi for a month. You haven't been to Taiyuan in Shanxi at all. Why are you lying? Or are you deliberately avoiding the court summoning these few days?"

"me……"

"Liu Shao, why did you avoid being summoned by the court and lie that you went to Taiyuan?"

Liu Shao hastily changed his words: "Xiaomin has been busy and confused these days, so he said Taiyuan by mistake."

Zhu Biao looked at him and said: "There is no record of you leaving the city at the gate of the city. Your son Liu Xiong has been arrested and will be sent back to the Ministry of Punishment."

"What, Xiong'er was caught."

Zhu Biao looked at Han Yike: "Have you written down what Liu Shao said?"

"Remember, he said Liu Xiong was captured by us." Han Yike repeated.

"Your point has proved that your family Liu Xiong is not dead! You still dare to lie and take Liu Shao to Gu."

At this moment, Lao Zhu, Kaiji, and the head of the Criminal Department, the Minister of the Criminal Department, came from the back hall and saw Zhu Biao standing beside Liu Shao: "Biaoer, keep asking."

Zhu Biao said: "The question is over."

what!
Both Kaiji and Lao Zhu were taken aback. In just a short while, the questioning was over.

The servant of the punishment department looked at Liu Shao, what did Liu Shao say like a bastard.

Han Yike said: "Return to Your Majesty, Liu Shao admits that Liu Xiong is not dead."

The servants and guards beside him also nodded.

Old Zhu looked at Zhu Biao.I used majesty, threats and strict investigations to prove that Liu Xiong was dead. This kid made Liu Shao admit it in a while.

"That's the question, who is that rotting corpse in the coffin?" Zhu Biao looked at Han Yike.

"Yes, Your Highness, I'm going to have someone examine it right now." Han Yike understood, and immediately took Wu Zuo away to search for the corpse.

After half a stick of incense, Wu Zuo came back.

The corpse in the coffin was born with six fingers, and the left hand had a callus from writing, but all six fingers were cut off at the root.

At that time, the dead body's hand was in the shroud, but after careful inspection, it was found that the six fingers had been cut off, which belonged to severed fingers.

Liang Sanyi's face was not good, and he was taken by Wu Zuo to identify the corpse.

Only Zhang Fuxing and Liu Shao were left in the lobby.

Later, the guards reported that they had captured the wives of Ke Hang and Kai Ji, the heads of the criminal department, at the gate of the city, and found a lot of silver.

Old Zhu recovered from his shock at Zhu Biao, and said, "Kaiji, Ke Hang, how do you explain it?"

Ke Hang, the head of the criminal department, was so frightened that he immediately knelt in front of Lao Zhu: "I'll recruit, please let your majesty spare the minister's wife."
