Struggle in the early Tang Dynasty

The more he thought about it, the more frightened Guo Ye became. He didn't know how many things about grandma, Li Yuan and King Lu they had.

Ma Yuanju looked at Guo Ye who had nothing to say all the way, and continued walking while saying: "This kind of tragedy happened in Chang'an City, the capital of the emperor. No one in the Yin family was spared, and Yin Tianzong died a tragic death. Alas, this is my eldest brother." This is the biggest case since Tang Liguo. This morning, the Holy Majesty was furious and ordered me to thoroughly investigate the case within a month, and let Wei Shangshu supervise the case. If the one-month deadline cannot be found, the murderer is not only me, Mr. Ma People, even Wei Shangshu has to follow suit."

Guo Ye was silent for a while, then stopped, and asked in a deep voice, "How many people died in the Yin family?"

"Uh……"

Ma Yuanju hesitated at first, but quickly replied truthfully: "Up and down, including the watchmen who work the watch, there are a total of 180 people."

180 nine people?

Grass! !Li Yuan, you really can do it.

Immediately, he asked again: "The 180 nine people were all killed. Didn't there be any movement last night?"

Ma Yuanju shook his head, sighed and said: "All the fatal wounds are in the throat, and all of them were killed by a knife. According to the inspection by our government office, more than half of the dead were harvested in their sleep. It can be seen from this , the murderers must be skilled and experienced killers, and they are not one person, but a group of people. It is really unpredictable and powerful. How can there be witnesses in this situation? And it is still in the middle of the night, God When there is no one in the dark."

"So, you have no clue at the moment?"

Guo Ye took a guilty look at Ma Yuanju, and tentatively said: "At present, the suspects can only be locked in a group of highly experienced killer organizations, right?"

Ma Yuanju hummed, and said, "That's right! But from Yin Tianzong's death, we can trace some clues."

humming~

Guo Ye's heart sank, and he asked, "Didn't Yin Tianzong be killed with a knife? There was something else wrong with his death?"

"That's right, why did I forget about this?" Ma Yuanju looked at Guo Ye in surprise, and said, "You were born as a yamen servant and once worked as a headhunter in Longxi. Isn't investigating cases your strong point? Let's go, I Take you to Yin Tianzong's death scene, which is in his bedroom, maybe you can help me a little."

"what?"

Guo Ye was stunned on the spot, Ma Yuanju actually asked him to help?

Although he knew that this matter must be caused by Li Yuan and the others behind the scenes, asking him to help investigate the case and track down the murderer always gave him the illusion of yelling, "Stop the thief."

Weird, a little awkward.

Immediately, he waved his hand and declined and said: "Hey, if you are not in your position, you will not seek your own affairs. Old Ma, you see, I came here today to watch the excitement, and I have already stepped down as a minister of the Ministry of Rites. I will rest at home temporarily to take care of myself. I won't get involved in this kind of thing, will I?"

"Don't, it's okay, it's okay, those who can do more work, come..."

Ma Yuan lifted Guo Ye's arm and said, "Wei Shangshu is also in Yin Tianzong's bedroom now, let's go, come, come with me to the bedroom."

Regardless of whether Guo Ye agreed or not, Ma Yuanju had already pulled Guo Ye straight to the bedroom.

After a while, under Ma Yuanju's forceful pull, Guo Ye just stepped into the bedroom when he was greeted by a strong smell of blood, which made people want to gag.

"Ugh~ what does it smell like?"

Guo Ye hurriedly covered his nose and suppressed his discomfort, entered the room, and casually looked around——

The room was neatly furnished and there were no traces of fighting, but there were two corpses lying on the bed. To be exact, they should be two corpses of a man and a woman.

Both of them lay naked on the bed without a single strand of covering. The corpses seemed to be stiff, and the blood stains on the bed had dried up. It was obvious that the two had been dead for some time.

Guo Ye continued to cover his nose and took a closer look, and the body of the male deceased was undoubtedly Yin Tianzong.

Judging from the surface symptoms of the corpse, Yin Tianzong was killed by cutting his throat with a sharp knife. His facial features were not distorted, and his limbs showed no signs of struggle. He should have died unconsciously in his sleep.

And this woman's death was horrifying, her face was slightly black, her nostrils, eyes, and corners of her mouth were dripping with solidified black blood.

Soon, Guo Ye discovered the clue. The dead woman was actually holding a sharp dagger covered in blood.

Guo Ye secretly guessed that the two were sleeping together naked, obviously this woman had a close relationship with Yin Tianzong.Looking at the dagger in the woman's hand again, he couldn't help shouting: "Could it be that this woman took Yin Tianzong's life with a knife while he was sleeping?"

"On prima facie evidence, it does."

It was not Ma Yuanju who answered him, but Wei Ting, Minister of the Ministry of Punishment, who stood solemnly in the room and listened to his report.

Wei Ting was not surprised that Guo Ye appeared here, instead he continued: "The identity of this woman has also been found out, she is Liu Yue'e, the ninth concubine Yin Tianzong just took in a few days ago. If the deduction is correct, it should be After she was happy with Yin Tianzong, she killed him with a knife while the other party was sleeping. As for why she died, she had just finished the examination, and she was poisoned to death. identified."

When Guo Ye's curiosity came up, he couldn't help speculating: "So, after she killed Yin Tianzong, she committed suicide by taking poison in fear of crime?"

"Logically, that's probably the case!"

Wei Ting glanced at Guo Ye, and continued: "But all this is superficial evidence. Maybe the group of assassins quietly assassinated Yin Tianzong, and then forcibly fed poison to this woman, so Bu Suiyun created a false But it is more likely that Yin Tianzong, the newly accepted ninth concubine, was arranged by the murderer to enter the Yin mansion early in the morning and deliberately approach Yin Tianzong. In order to avoid future troubles, the murderer left traces for people to trace, so he wiped out the roots once and for all. There is a third possibility, that is Liu Yue'e's concubine. Like the assassins, she is from a certain mysterious organization, and her identity is a dead soldier. As long as Yin Tianzong dies, her mission will also end, and she must Take poison and kill yourself."

"Oh……"

Guo Ye secretly took another look at Li Yuan's methods. Could it be that Li Yuan really has his own killer organization?This organization is full of dead men cultivated by Li Yuan, are there men and women?

At this moment, Ma Yuanju asked softly: "Guo Ye, do you have any other discoveries and suggestions?"

Wei Ting was taken aback when he heard this, and suddenly realized, he said pleasantly: "That's right, Wei almost forgot that the Duke of Pingyang was a head-hunter back then, and investigating cases is your strong point."

How dare Guo Ye express his opinion at this time?Did you tell them that this matter was actually controlled by the Supreme Emperor Li Yuan behind the scenes?

He was about to prevaricate, when suddenly a middle-aged man ran in from the door, wearing a soap suit with a horizontal knife on his waist, and shouted out of breath: "Master Fu Yin, ho ho~~ I have... found something!!!"

He had seen this person before, he was Ma Yuanju's capable subordinate, in charge of the chief arrester of hundreds of yamen in Chang'an Mansion - Wei Jun.

Chapter 992 Misfortune diverted to the east, killing two birds with one stone

"Found??"

In desperation, Ma Yuanju leaped past Guo Ye and came to the chief arresting guard of the Chang'an Mansion, and hurriedly asked, "Catcher Wei, tell me quickly, what have you found?"

Wei Jun put one hand on the handle of the knife, licked his dry lips, straightened his waist and said loudly: "Master Fu Yin, according to your previous instructions, we have asked the neighbors around the Yin Mansion and asked them if they heard Yin Yin's words last night. Movements in the mansion."

Ma Yuanju asked urgently: "Then what did they say? But they found witnesses who were massacred in the Yin Mansion last night?"

Wei Jun shook his head, hesitatingly said: "No...no!"

"you……"

Ma Yuanju's expression changed, and he scolded angrily: "Then you are still brazenly telling me that you have found something?"

"Yuanju, don't worry!"

Wei Ting, who was on the side, noticed that Butou Wei's expression was not right, so he immediately calmed Ma Yuanju, and asked first, "Butou Wei, did you find anything else?"

Wei Jun hummed, and nodded slightly at Wei Ting, but he still didn't forget who his immediate boss was and who he should report to, and continued to say to Ma Yuanju: "Report to Master Ma, Jiang Sishan, the prime minister who will be the supervisor, and General Yin Tianzong He has always had private contacts, and his mansion lives in Chongrenfang, which is not far from the Yin mansion. Just now, the subordinate went to his mansion to ask if he heard anything unusual about the Yin mansion last night, and he said no. But he I told my subordinates another matter."

Ma Yuanju suddenly felt his eyes light up, and asked: "What's the matter? Is it related to this case?"

Wei Jun replied: "Yes, otherwise the subordinates would not rush back."

"Haha, Yuanju is really confused." Wei Ting couldn't help teasing Ma Yuanju, and said happily, "At this juncture, if Chief Wei still says to write about things that have nothing to do with this case, why don't you pull out his words?" Body skin? Haha, Captain Wei, tell me, what did Jiang Sishan, the general supervisor, tell you?"
