Criminal investigation in ancient times

There were more and more footsteps, and they slowly entered the yard with the sound of clothes rubbing against each other.Suddenly a voice came in, it was in Hun language!Sure enough, as Xu Chao said, what did the Huns do!

A group of more than a dozen people in black clothes scattered outside and walked towards the room in the backyard. One of them slowly pushed open the door of the bedroom.

"Squeak..." Accompanied by the sound of the door opening, such a stature stopped, and the body fell down like a "thump!"

The people around were stunned for a moment, but they didn't realize what was going on, and they also fell down one after another, and three or four black figures rushed out of the room.

Those who were scattered in other rooms did not notice this abnormality. When they were about to mend the unconscious man with a knife, their necks got cold before they knew it, and they could no longer speak.In less than a stick of incense, more than a dozen gangsters were all killed and no one was left alive.

The candles in the yard were lit, and Zhang Rui walked out of the house, seeing the dead bodies all over the yard, his heart felt cold, if Zhou Yin didn't come, he might be murdered just like Xu Chao!Even if there is a hidden guard from Zhou Yin by his side, if he hadn't been informed of the news in advance, it would be impossible for the hidden guard to prepare in such a timely manner.Even if nothing happened to him, the people in the house might not be so lucky, they might have been murdered!Most of these are following him, if he can't even protect them, then he is not a proper magistrate!

He interrogated the boy who poisoned him overnight, and he was so frightened that he recruited everyone who knew it. It turned out that he was the secret agent of Wu Guanan's mansion, and he was ordered to pour the drug into the well yesterday to cooperate with the gang. The Huns are murdering!

Zhang Rui immediately sent Mo to the Dutong Mansion to arrest Wu Guan.When I got there, I found out that the building was already empty!Zhang Rui hastily sent two teams of soldiers to follow them outside the city, but after chasing for hundreds of miles, they failed to see them, and finally returned in vain.

Wu Guan must have known that the incident had been revealed, so he packed up his clothes and escaped from Tongzhou City overnight.Unexpectedly, he was stopped by a group of bandits before he left the border of Tongzhou. The guards around him were so frightened that they dropped him and ran away. The bandits ransacked him and found 50 taels of silver on him , Tongzhou has been taxed for almost two years!It can be seen how many people's fat and people's anointing he has plundered.

What's ridiculous is that this group of bandits are all ordinary people. How have you ever seen such a banknote of 10 taels?Thinking it was a fake, he threw it on the fire and burned it, only snatched the silver and the valuable jade pendant from him.

Wu Guan watched helplessly that the money he had accumulated over the years turned into a pile of ashes, he was so angry that he spurted out a mouthful of blood and fell to the ground.When he woke up again, he found himself lying naked in the wilderness, with nothing on his body, his eyes darkened with shame and anger, and he passed out...

On the other side, Yang Yuanzhong led troops to dispatch, and with lightning speed, several bandit dens entrenched near Tongzhou were destroyed.All the more than five hundred Huns were killed on the spot.Of course, not only the Huns were killed, but also many people who pretended to be robbers could not avoid being implicated, and Tongzhou was in danger overnight.It has been spread throughout the counties that the imperial court wants to deal with banditry.

Unlike usual, there was a lot of wind and rain, but this time there was no sound of wind leaking, and the pouring rain and hail hit Tongzhou head-on and face-to-face.Not to mention all the banditry has been eliminated for decades, but seven or eight points have been wiped out.Don't dare to challenge the authority of the imperial court again.

Because Wu Guan left the soldiers of Tongzhou with him, Zhang Rui had no choice but to report to the court, begging the court to send a new commander.Xu Chao’s case involved the Xiongnu, so the court’s suppression can be regarded as revenge for him. Although his injuries are similar, he still can’t speak, and one leg is also lame. Entering the court as an official, Zhang Rui had no choice but to arrange for him to be a follower in the magistrate's mansion.He is also happy to be quiet and at ease, taking care of the flowers and plants in the yard every day until he becomes leisurely.

Not long after Zhou Yin came to Tongzhou, he suffered from a poisoned alcohol attack. This time, Zhang Rui watched him fall down in front of him, and watched Dr. He give him the needle.He was so frightened that his face turned pale and he trembled all over. He was really afraid that Zhou Yin would just pass out and never wake up again...

A few days later Zhou Yin recovered and found that Zhang Rui hadn't spoken to him for several days, so she went to look for him quietly, saw him sitting in the courtyard in a daze, and said: "Cough, I haven't seen you for a few days. But dislike my poor health?"

Zhang Rui lowered his head and didn't look at him.Zhou Yin sat next to him and stretched out his hand to support his face, only to see that his eyes were red and his face was haggard.

Zhou Yin: "You... don't need to be too sad. Although I am not in good health, Dr. He gave me a few medicines, and I can still survive for many years. Are you afraid that I will become a widower when I die?"

Zhang Rui stretched out his hand to push him away, still silent, but his heart was terribly sad, seeing him suddenly fall from the front, not speaking, not moving, twitching and pale, as if dead, their hearts couldn't help twitching , My chest hurts.

"Is there any way to get rid of the poison on your body?"

Zhou Yin smiled wryly and said, "Well...there are some, but...forget it, the medicinal materials for detoxification are hard to find, I never thought about it."

Zhang Rui: "What medicinal material?! Even if there is a glimmer of hope, I want to detoxify you!"

Zhou Yin was taken aback, warm in his heart, stretched out his hand to hold Mo in his arms and whispered in his ear: "Now is not the time, how about we look for it together after your three-year term expires?"

Zhang Rui looked at him and said, "Then you have to endure the poison on your body for the past three years?"

Zhou Yin: "I have endured it for so many years, not less than the past three years."

Zhang Rui was distressed and felt uncomfortable, and hugged him fiercely, wishing to integrate it into his body, blaming himself for being a low-ranking official and powerless, unable to do anything for him.If it was in the previous life, I would have to take good care of him no matter what I said, how could I let him suffer like this.

The two were hugging each other like glue, Uncle Han came from the backyard, saw the two from a long distance, and sighed heavily.He murmured in his heart: This young master is good at everything, why did he just fall in love with this man?If this is the case in the future, wouldn't the Zhang family be dead?But that's the prince, how can I persuade him as a servant, forget it, just do my duty.

Wu Guan was finally caught by Mo in Qiuhe County, Mo was in a bad shape, with a rag he picked up somewhere around his waist, his hair and beard stuck together like a beggar, his mind was a little confused, crazy Die Die.

The crime Wu Guan committed was collaborating with the enemy and betraying the country, and punishing nine clans. His family had been imprisoned for a long time. Now that he was added, the emperor issued a death order, and more than [-] people were dragged to the execution ground and all had their heads beheaded.Tat for tat, he still had Xu Chao to be wiped out, and now the real retribution is on him,***

The case of Dali Temple is quite clear, Zhang Yaozhi investigated the servants of Anfu, and the first person suspected of committing the crime that night was their brother-in-law An Yunshu. It is no secret that these two brothers do not get along in Anfu. Nothing could be seen on the surface, but in private An Yunsheng treated this concubine very badly.He had resentment in his heart for killing An Yunsheng and he also had a motive for committing the crime, but An Yunshu had been paralyzed from the lower body for many years, how could he strangle him to death and hang him from a tree?Unless he has a helper, who is that helper?

Zhang Yaozhi sent An Yunshu to Dali Temple, An Yunshu didn't even try to explain, he just admitted that he killed him himself, but when he was asked how he killed him, he didn't say anything.

Lin Xiaoqing thought of the dead old locust tree and asked him, why did he hang it on that tree?An Yunshu's face turned pale immediately, and he trembled all over. After a while, he said quietly: "I also want him to taste the feeling of hanging from a tree."

In any case, it is impossible for him to be the one who killed An Yunsheng. Since he refused to say who the accomplice was, it is certain that he knew the accomplice, or he hired him to help him kill An Yunsheng. Then hang it on a tree.The reason why he hanged himself from the tree was not to pretend that An Yunsheng committed suicide, but to avenge what he had done before!

Zhang Yaozhi decided to go to An's mansion to take a look in person. He didn't know that An Yunsheng had a violent personality before, because he always looked like a modest gentleman in the court. His brother was often abused and beaten in the house, so the boys in the house should have seen it, and his husband... should have seen it too.There is no hatred for no reason in this world, why would he abuse their brother like this?

When I arrived at Anfu, I saw that the gate of Anfu was closed tightly. After knocking for a long time, an old man who guarded the door came out. Seeing so many people wearing official uniforms outside the door, he was so frightened that his legs softened and he knelt down and said, "I have seen you all what?"

The party entered An's mansion and found that the mansion was deserted, so they called the butler of An's mansion to ask: "Why is this mansion so deserted? Where is the head of your family?"

The housekeeper bowed and followed them and said, "Husband has been in poor health for the past few days and has been recuperating from illness. Young master and young lady are always taken by the nanny, and there are no other principals in the house. Husband dismissed her to save money. Have you done it a little bit?"

Zhang Yaozhi frowned, fingered his beard and said, "Are you dismissed... by the way, lead me to see that tree in the backyard."

When I arrived at the backyard, I saw the dead tree poked alone in the middle of the yard. Since ancient times, the locust tree was connected to officials. Planting locust trees in the mansion is also a sign of promotion. Now looking at the dead tree, I think of An Yunsheng who was killed. Zhang Yaozhi couldn't help but sigh.I touched the trunk and found a lot of white powdery things from the trunk and roots.

Zhang Yaozhi: "Xiaoqing, what do you look at?"

Lin Xiaoqing walked over and peeled it off and smelled it, frowned and said, "It seems to be salt."

Zhang Yaozhi clapped his hands and said, "So that's how it is!"

Lin Xiaoqing said: "What did you find?"

Zhang Yaozhi said: "The reason why this tree withered and died is because it was sprayed with salt water. If the official's guess is correct, it should be An Yunsheng who poured salt water, and An Yunshu is the one who was sprayed with salt on the wound." what?"

When Lin Xiaoqing heard this, his face turned pale and he said, "Why do you want to treat your own brother like this?"

Zhang Yaozhi squinted his eyes and said: "The hatred of killing my father, the hatred of taking my wife! Bring An Fumo to Dali Temple, I have something to ask her!" After saying that, he flung his sleeves and hurriedly left Anfu.

When Mrs. An was taken to Dali Temple, she was wearing a light pink skirt embroidered with pomegranate flowers. Her hair was carefully combed, and her lips were slightly red. She was amazed and disgusted when she saw her. This Mrs. An just lost her husband It's really unethical for the son-in-law to dress up like this!

Seeing her kneeling and lying down with her back straight, Zhang Yaozhi reached out and knocked on the gavel with a disdainful smile on the corner of her mouth, and said, "An Luoshi, are you guilty?!"

Anfumo raised her head and said, "The women don't know what crime they committed."

Zhang Yaozhi said: "I want to ask you, did you and An Yunshu murder your own husband, An Yunsheng?"

Fumo An covered her mouth with her slender hand and smiled, "It's not like the woman murdered her husband, but she killed someone who didn't want to do it." As soon as this remark came out, everyone was shocked.

Zhang Yaozhi frowned and said, "You temptress, how did you murder An Damo? You really did it!"

Mrs. An put down her hands and stared blankly, half laughing and crying. After a while, she said, "May I bring Shu Lang here? I'll tell him the whole story when I see him."

Zhang Yaozhi nodded, and the two yamen servants brought Mo up.

An Yunshu has been locked in prison for the past few days, her hair and clothes are a little messy.Seeing this, Mrs. An hurriedly crawled over to help him pick off the dry grass on his body and said softly, "Shu Lang..."

However, An Yunshu didn't even look at her and said, "Damn, An Yunsheng was killed by me, please sentence me, sir."

An Fumo said: "Why are you bothering? You don't love me, why do you want to take the blame for me?"

Zhang Yaozhi said: "Well, you have seen it too, tell me about your crime."

An Yunshu looked at An Fumo in disbelief and said, "What are you doing?!"

Mrs. An smiled and said: "Report, An Yunsheng was strangled to death by a woman with her hair. The reason why the woman strangled him to death was because she tortured my husband every day. The woman couldn't stand it so she killed him. "

Zhang Yaozhi was stunned and said: "You are An Da? Why did you bring the big sedan back to the main room? How can you say that you are not a husband?!"

An Fumo said: "Hehe, the main wife? An Damo is a eunuch, what's the use of marrying the main wife?" When these words came out, the hall was shocked.An Fumo smiled and said: "If you don't believe me, you can let Zuo see his dead body. His life is no different from that of a child."

Zhang Yaozhi frowned and said, "Then who are your sons and daughters?"

Fumo An said, "Of course it's my husband."

An Yunshu closed his eyes in despair, and clenched his fists tightly.

It started when An Fumo married into the An Mansion. An Fumo's best friend was named Luo Yu.When she married into An's family, she didn't know that An Yunsheng was a heavenly eunuch. The shy bride who was originally shy on the wedding night did not expect that waiting for them turned out to be an endless nightmare.

It's not my husband, but my husband's elder brother...

At first, she thought that An Yunshu had taken her by force, but An Yunsheng had deliberately arranged this way, drugged her beforehand, and watched An Yunshu take her over.Afterwards, this kind of thing happened more than once. Afterwards, An Yunsheng would tie his brother to a tree and beat him with a whip.

Luo Yu lay at the door and looked at the man who was biting his lip on the tree. For the first time, she felt distressed... She didn't know why her husband did this. She had never touched her since she got married. Later, she finally knew An Yunsheng The secret is that he was injured in his lower body when he was young, and he hasn't lived a long life since then, and now he is still as old as a child, so he can't do things like husband and wife at all.

Later Luo Yu became pregnant, pregnant with An Yunshu's child, An Yunsheng was both happy and angry, he hung An Yunshu on a tree and beat him all night, Luo Yu squatted in the bedroom and cried all night, peace in her heart Yun Shu is their husband, but he is powerless to be treated like this.She wished she could kill An Yunsheng!But she dare not, she is just a weak woman...

The child was born a girl, and An Yunsheng began to arrange for An Yunshu to have sex with Luo Yu again. Although An Yunshu was reluctant in every possible way, An Yunsheng had no choice but to drug him.And Luo Yu had a deep-rooted affection for him, so she gave birth to a second child right away.

The second child was a boy. From then on, An Yunsheng imprisoned An Yunshu and never let the two meet again.

As the days went by, Luo Yu missed An Yunshu more and more, holding the child every day to wash his face with tears, and begging An Yunsheng several times, but he beat him out.
