Kaifeng mansion's first drama

Chapter 39 The True Intention of Assassination

The three of them immediately ran to Sha Hongmei's recuperating room, intending to visit, but were stopped by the woman at the door.

"The girl's family has to take Qing Yu into account. The three masters are all young and strong unmarried men. It is not appropriate to rush into the house like this."

Pang Yuanying felt that what the mother-in-law said made sense. After all, this was an ancient society, and he almost forgot the etiquette of men and women.As for Bai Yutang and Jiang Ping, the sons and daughters of the rivers and lakes do not stick to trivial matters. After being reminded like this, they knew that they should pay attention to this aspect.

The third gentlemen retreated to wait outside the courtyard tactfully. After a while, Gongsun Ce left the hospital accompanied by his mother-in-law.After Gongsun Ce instructed his mother-in-law how to cook medicine and how to serve Miss Sha, he was discharged from the hospital with a medical box.

Gongsun Ce and the three of them said, "Miss Sha was overly frightened. Although she was awake, she didn't say a word, so she would be provoked again. I will ask tomorrow when the situation is stable."

Pang Yuanying expressed his understanding, and immediately went to Bao Zheng, and after presenting the Sipa evidence they got, he also saw new clues from Bao Zheng.

When Bao Zheng searched the residence of Sha Sanlang's family in Changlin Village, he found a scrap of paper with the word "Song" written on it in a pile of ashes in the copper basin under the bed.

Pang Yuanying picked it up and looked at it. The yellow paper was about the size of two thumbnails, the edges were gray and black, and there was indeed a word 'Song' in the middle left.

"Song, do you mean the mansion of Duke Song?" Zhan Zhao asked.

Everyone was silent.

Everyone knew in their hearts that if the "Song" referred to the Duke of Song's mansion, then the assassination of Pang Yuanying and the Zichenguan case would become one case.In the case of Zichenguan, three lives have been lost: Lv Zhe, Cai Boli and Mrs. Meng.In the assassination case, thirteen people have lost their lives.It would be unimaginable how terrifying it would be if these two seemingly completely unrelated cases were connected together.

"There is not enough evidence to prove that Sha Sanlang has a relationship with the Duke of Song's government. It is too hasty to arbitrarily determine that the two cases are related based on this Song character alone." Bao Zheng reminded everyone to distinguish this point clearly. Think more.At present, the clues of the case are not yet clear, so any possibility is possible. Just follow the usual habit to investigate the case and check the clues one by one.

Everyone takes orders and does what they say.

……

Three days later, dark clouds gathered.

During the day, the sky becomes dark, like dusk.At night, I can't see my fingers, the rain is still suffocating, and there is no wind at all, which makes people feel irritated.

The night watchmen were motionless, and they were all depressed by the weather.

The prison in Kaifeng Mansion was so quiet that the only sound was the snoring of the prisoners.

Daoshi Zhang couldn't sleep because of the loud snoring of the butcher next door, so he lay on the cell floor, looking up at the dark night outside the small cell window.He didn't know how long he looked at it, but in the end his eyelids gradually became heavy and he fell asleep.

Daoshi Zhang woke up with a start, but he didn't open his eyes immediately, but pretended to be asleep.Last time, Mr. Pang Da had bumped into a ghost and frightened him to confess, but he saw through it.He knows the temperament of this huge son too well, and he will definitely not be willing to continue playing with him.Taoist Zhang wanted to see what tricks they would use against him this time.

Daoshi Zhang closed his eyes and waited for a while, but he didn't hear the sound. He opened his eyes quietly and found that there was no movement around the cell.

Could it be that he was thinking too much?Was it just windy?

Zhang Daoshi frowned and turned over, resting his arms on his head and continuing to sleep.

After a while, the sibilance sounded again.This time Taoist Zhang heard the sound of human footsteps.Because the walking is light and slow, he didn't distinguish clearly just now.

After Zhang Daoshi recognized the sound of footsteps coming from the east side of his cell, he pretended to be asleep and turned over, naturally turned his face to the east direction, and then squinted his eyes to see what the scene in the east was like.Only then did he notice that the butcher next door to the east stopped snoring and was already standing at the door of the cell.

The butcher was holding the lock on the cell door and fiddling with it.He glanced warily in his direction from time to time, as if to make sure he was really fast asleep.

Not long after, Taoist Zhang heard a 'click' and the lock opened.After the butcher removed the lock, he opened the cell door by himself, and then went to Taoist Zhang's cell door to unlock it.

Zhang Daoshi screamed in fright, closed his eyes tightly, stretched out his hands and danced in the air, calling for help.

The loud shouting has already alarmed the jailer over there.

The butcher immediately returned to his cell, locked the lock, and lay down on the ground, snoring and falling asleep.It seemed that nothing happened when he opened the door and walked out of the prison just now.

"What are you shouting for?" The jailer walked over slowly, holding the knife in his hand, and checking the surrounding situation.

Zhang Daoshi pretended to just wake up, sat up in a daze, and said to the jailer that he seemed to be having a nightmare just now.

"Really, be honest!" The jailer yelled at him dissatisfiedly, yawned, and then left.

Zhang Daoshi sat in place for a while, and turned to look at the butcher whose arms were pretending to be asleep.

Daoshi Zhang leaned against the dead corner of the wall, keeping a distance from the butcher. This angle was the safest. Even if the opponent used a hidden weapon such as a throwing knife, he would not stab him.

Of course Zhang Daoshi would not continue to sleep, he stared at the butcher and kept staring.

After pretending to sleep for a while, the butcher sat up when he felt the silence around him.Of course the butcher wanted to observe the situation on Daoshi Zhang's side. When he looked at Daoshi Zhang's cell, his eyes met Daoshi Zhang's.

The moment the two looked at each other, there was only each other in their eyes, and there was a dead silence in their ears.

"Who are you? Why did you kill me?" Taoist Zhang opened his mouth to question first.

The butcher smiled, took out a knife from his pocket, licked it with his tongue, and looked at Taoist Zhang provocatively, his eyes full of willful arrogance.

"It doesn't matter who I am, you just need to know that you will be a dead man." The butcher said even more arrogantly.

"Come here!" Daoist Zhang shouted suddenly, "Someone wants to kill me!"

Two jailers came immediately and asked what was going on.One of them happened to be here just now, and seeing that it was Daoist Zhang again, he couldn't help scolding him that he must be dreaming again.

"It's not a dream, it's him! He's going to kill me!" Daoshi Zhang pointed to the butcher immediately after seeing the 'savior'.

The jailer drew out the knife in his hand, went to the butcher, and interrogated him whether he had any intention of killing Taoist Zhang.

"Brothers, why do you want to kill me like this? The prison door is closed to me, so far away, and I don't even have a wooden stick in my hand, how can I hurt people..." The butcher spoke with a strange accent , but the tone of the voice just makes people feel simple and honest.

"Exactly, how to kill?" one jailer asked another jailer.

Both of them looked at Taoist Zhang suspiciously.

"He has a knife. I just saw him take out the knife, licked it with his tongue several times, and threatened me blatantly. And he can open the lock. He opened the lock and went out before. If I hadn't pretended to be asleep and screamed in time, he had just passed away. Open the prison door and kill me!"

The jailer immediately looked at the butcher vigilantly.

"No, no. When I entered the prison in Kaifeng Mansion, I was stripped and searched. There may be a knife there." The butcher looked at Taoist Zhang with a puzzled face, "Brother, we don't know each other, right? Could it be that when I sold your meat before, I was short of catties? Even so, you don’t have to frame me just for two taels of meat.”

The jailer opened the cell door and searched for the butcher himself, but when he couldn't find it, he saw that Daoist Zhang was still yelling that he had a knife, so he searched all the places in the cell where things might be hidden.Everywhere is clean, not even a stick.

Zhang Daoshi was also dumbfounded when he saw this scene with his own eyes. "But I just saw him holding a knife..."

The two guards were so angry that they wanted to beat up Taoist Zhang, and told him that if he continued to torment them like this, he would definitely beat him up next time.

The two jailers left immediately, Daoshi Zhang took a few steps back in fear, and continued to squat in the blind corner before, staring at the butcher over there cautiously and fearfully.

The butcher chuckled, then opened his mouth and turned his head, and immediately there was a gleaming dagger in his hand.He proudly waved the dagger in his hand to show Taoist Zhang.

"Fight with me, you are still a little tender." The butcher lost his accent, and his eyes were bloodthirsty.

Taoist Zhang called out again, but the jailer over there scolded him not to call out again, otherwise he would be dragged out to beat him with [-] boards.

"It's useless." The butcher continued to laugh, "Have you heard the story of the wolf coming?"

Taoist Zhang looked at the butcher suspiciously.

The butcher briefly told Zhang Daoshi the story of "Wolf is Coming", telling him that because he "teasing" the jailer the previous two times, the jailer no longer believed his words.

"I can't kill you today, and there is tomorrow. There is no day after tomorrow. It is impossible for a person to stay awake for a lifetime. After all, you will lose your eyelids and sleep to death. After all, I will do it and make you wake up again." Don't come here." The butcher said, licking the blade with his tongue again.

"Who the hell are you? Who sent you here?" Daoshi Zhang asked almost collapsed.

"No comment." After the butcher said, he couldn't help licking the blade again.

"Song Guogong's mansion?" Daoist Zhang narrowed his eyes, "When I die, the matter will be over, and you will completely escape the relationship? Your master is going too far. I have kept my mouth shut for him to this day, but he doesn't believe me. Come on. Shut my mouth!"

"That's a lot of nonsense." The butcher snorted coldly, raised the knife in his hand and pointed it in the direction of Taoist Zhang.

Daoshi Zhang yelled and rushed to the prison door, yelling that someone was going to kill him, but none of the guards paid any attention to him.

"What did I say, just die obediently, trash!" The butcher laughed, and took out a black pill from his hair, "I'm not stupid, use a knife to kill you? Why don't you take it in yourself. The knife won't kill you. It’s just to coerce you not to move around. After taking this medicine, you will die of sudden heart palpitations, and you just happened to be so crazy, presumably those jailers will think that your death is normal.”

After the butcher finished speaking, he pulled out a wire from his hair to unlock the lock, and soon he unlocked his cell again, and walked towards Taoist Zhang's cell with a smile on his face.

At the last moment when his life was in danger, Taoist Zhang suddenly thought of something, and shouted loudly: "I confess! Tell Pang Shaoyin, I confess!"

This shout immediately attracted the jailer over.Everyone knows that Daoist Zhang refused to confess.If he intends to confess, the jailer will never dare to neglect him.

"Let me out, I want to confess." Daoshi Zhang looked at the butcher in horror, and urged the jailer eagerly.

"Could you be lying to us again?" The jailer opened the door without any haste.

"Of course not, open the door." Zhang Daoshi glared at the butcher angrily, and immediately followed the jailer.

'The Butcher' Pang Yuanying tore off the mask on his face and said it was too hot.

Bai Yutang and Jiang Ping walked out of the prison with a smile.

"Otherwise, do you think it's that easy to disguise yourself? If you wear this kind of fake leather for a long time, the real leather inside will sweat if it's airtight, and if it's deflated for a long time, it will swell your face. Let me look at your face, um, It's a bit big." Jiang Ping leaned over to look at Pang Yuanying's appearance carefully, and then smacked his lips, "You are a well-raised child, and your skin is so smooth and flawless."

Bai Yutang glanced at Jiang Ping, who was not serious, and reminded Pang Yuanying to prepare as soon as possible.

Although Pang Yuanying's play just now was good, it was fake after all, and the logic was flawed.Taking advantage of Zhang Daoshi's hot head and impulsiveness at the moment, he may be able to swindle some evidence.When he calmed down later and realized that something was wrong, he really couldn't ask anything.

Pang Yuanying opened the court immediately for a quick trial of Taoist Zhang.

Taoist Zhang suspected that Pang Yuanying deliberately pretended to have just woken up, went to the hall yawning, and asked Taoist Zhang what he was messing about in the middle of the night.

"I want to confess." Daoshi Zhang gritted his teeth, "but I have one request, to be held in solitary confinement and someone to protect me, and to thoroughly investigate the butcher next door to me. He has a problem and wants to kill me."

"It depends on whether your next words are true or not. If you dare to tease me, I will lock you up in the ten-person room," Pang Yuanying said.

Zhang Daoshi: "Ten years ago, I was indeed living in Song Guogong's mansion for a period of time. The affair between me and Miss Song's family was actually based on the 'order' of Song Guogong and his wife—"

"My lord, Bao Zheng sent someone to send a message to ask Pang Yuanying to go." The little official came to deliver the message.

"It's the middle of the night, Master Bao is still up? Why are you calling me?" Pang Yuanying was puzzled.

The little official saluted and said that he didn't know either.

Pang Yuanying looked at Taoist Zhang in the hall, and sent the little official back first, and he would go in a while.

The little official cupped his hands: "Young Yin, please make sure to come now, Mr. Bao will explain to you that the matter is very important and we can't wait for even a moment."

"So urgent." Pang Yuanying hesitated for a while, but had no choice but to ask Bai Yutang and Jiang Ping to interrogate Taoist Zhang first, and he went to see Bao Zheng with the little official.

When the two arrived at Bao Zheng's residence, Pang Yuanying saw that Bao Zheng's room was not lit and felt something was wrong, so she hurriedly asked the little official what was going on.

The little official was stunned, and also puzzled: "I don't know, the little one. Judge Mao hurriedly woke up the little one just now, and told the little one to send a message to Shaoyin immediately, so don't delay."

Pang Yuanying was very impressed with Mao Sheng, the judge of the right patrol army. He was one of the four major suspects when he thoroughly investigated the spies of Kaifeng Mansion.But because there was no evidence, he and the other three suspects were secretly monitored by Bao Zheng.

Pang Yuanying immediately went to confirm with the guard at the gate that Bao Zheng had already gone to bed, and Mao Sheng never came to see Bao Zheng at night.

Pang Yuanying had a bad feeling and ran back quickly.On the way, I saw Jiang Ping running over in a hurry, with an unusually serious face.When he saw Pang Yuanying, he immediately informed, "Daoist Zhang is dead."

"What's going on?" Pang Yuanying asked.

Jiang Ping: "After Shaoyin left, Mao Sheng came in a hurry, saying that he had important clues to tell. He said that the Duke of Song sent him a letter and wanted to sell him into a spy. While my fifth brother and I were reading the letter, he suddenly He knelt down and cried loudly, kowtowed to us, and suddenly changed hands and stabbed Taoist Zhang to death with a poisonous needle. The two of them were very close at that time, and he shot very quickly. Almost dead."

"Mao Sheng committed suicide afterward. The poison hidden in his mouth was immediately bitten." Jiang Ping sighed helplessly, unable to accept the facts before him. Everything happened so fast that he is still in a daze.

"Crazy." Pang Yuanying sighed, "People are scarier than ghosts."

After the incident, Bao Zheng, Gongsun Ce and others all came.

"Who is in charge of monitoring Mao Sheng and causing such incidents?" Bao Zheng asked.

After Zhan Zhao went to check, he reported to Bao Zheng: "Two of Mao Sheng's guards died tonight, and their bodies were dragged under the bed to hide. Both of them were poisoned by poisonous needles. This method of killing is quick and effortless. "

Zhan Zhao immediately found the remaining poisonous needles from Mao Sheng's body.

"Presumptuous!" Bao Zheng was furious.

In the majestic Kaifeng mansion, such a scandal happened, and the spies killed three people in a row.This spy was someone they had noticed a long time ago and had already sent someone to monitor him.

Pang Yuanying also felt regretful. He acted all night in vain, and finally pried open Taoist Zhang's mouth. As a result, the duck in his mouth just flew away.

"The interrogation just started, and Mao Sheng moved so fast. He should have been prepared to respond in such a timely manner." Jiang Ping said.

"More than that, there is his eyeliner in the cell. If no one informs him, it will be useless for him to prepare and move quickly." Pang Yuanying shook her head helplessly, and sighed to Bao Zheng, "Kaifeng Mansion is really a jumble of fish and dragons, which makes people overwhelmed. .”

"If you are prepared for everything, you will have everything." Bai Yutang, who had been silent all this time, suddenly said.

"What do you mean?" Jiang Ping asked.

"Be prepared everywhere, and be weak everywhere." Bao Zheng explained, looking back at Pang Yuanying with serious eyes, "I was wrong about the assassination, and I always thought it was aimed at you before. Now I know, the assassination of you The real intention is to target the Kaifeng government."

Pang Yuanying's gaze was fixed, and Tao Hua's eyes, which had always shown stubbornness, suddenly became fierce, "Then, from today onwards, fight back."
