[Seventy-five] King of Xiangyang is super fierce

Zhan Zhao brought Zheng Tuhu to the hall, Bao Zheng saw his fierce features and eyes, and felt that he was a bad person.When they asked him, Zheng Tu not only refused to admit that he had killed someone, but he also said that he didn't buy a pig's head from Wen's.

Bao Zheng was furious, he suppressed his anger and asked him again: "Isn't the cloth covering the human head yours?"

The butcher said: "Perhaps Yan Sheng borrowed the cloth a few days ago. The villain woke up this night and wanted to chop meat and wrap it, but he couldn't find the cloth. His mother and son came to me to buy meat, and they borrowed the cloth on credit." Things happen often, too many times, even the villain himself can't remember clearly."

"Who would have thought that if I borrowed the cloth out of good intentions, they would kill someone and wrap the head, and turn the blame on the villain instead!"

Is this reason too far-fetched?

The king of Xiangyang couldn't see it, and testified aloud: "Open your eyes and tell a lie, both the king and Pei Huwei saw Wen's coming from your shop, and you said that she didn't go to your shop to buy meat, because you thought we were all fools." cheat?"

Butcher Zheng was shocked when he heard the words, his ferocious face turned red, and he stomped his feet and shouted: "My lord, I really don't remember Wen's coming to buy meat! I never open the door in the middle of the night. Just now this lord came to buy meat!" When the villain was caught, the villain had just woken up and was about to get up to chop meat, how could he ever sell Wenshi pork head meat!"

"My lord, if you don't believe me, you can ask the neighbors in the neighborhood when I, Butcher Zheng, opened in the middle of the night!"

Bao Zheng winked, Zhan Zhao took the order, and quickly went to the vicinity of Zheng Butcher's house to question the people, and after the questioning, he came back and reported, and sure enough, there was no discrepancy with Zheng Butcher's words.

Zhan Zhao also went to Zheng Tuhu's house and searched for it, but found no corpse or anything suspicious.

Bao Zheng fell into deep thought now.

The Wen family is a weak woman, and Yan Chasan is only a half-year-old weak scholar. Seeing his appearance, there is no possibility of murder, but Zheng Tuhu's words are forceful, and it doesn't seem like a fabricated lie, let alone find out. There is no evidence to convict him.

Bao Zheng wanted to find out more, but it was already dark outside, the moon had faded away, the courtyard houses in the streets and lanes all turned off their lights, the cock crowed, and the sound of early morning gongs came from outside the inn.

If they wanted to investigate under the noses of the county magistrate of Sanxing Town during the day without revealing their identities, it might not work.

The King of Xiangyang yawned secretly, thinking that after a night, nothing was found out, which made the whole case more confusing. Anyway, there is nothing wrong with him here, so it is better for people to sneak back to sleep without knowing it.

Bao Zheng didn't know what was going on in his mind, his mind flashed, just as King Xiangyang raised his head and feet, Bao Zheng, who already had a countermeasure on the other end, immediately said: "My lord.

King Xiangyang, whose feet were in the air and couldn't get down: "...???"

What's up...

He can't be lazy even if he is a cannon fodder for soy sauce?

Seeing King Xiangyang looking over, Bao Zheng thought for a while and said, "My lord, this trip has already been planned. You will be in the open, and Kaifeng will be in the dark. If you want to continue the investigation of this case, don't inform the county magistrate of Sanxing Town. It doesn't make sense."

The King of Xiangyang didn't understand exactly what Bao Zheng wanted him to do, so he forced a smile and asked, "What does Master Yibao mean...?"

Bao Zheng's sense of oppression is too heavy, and a short number can directly point to people's hearts. The King of Xiangyang couldn't even say a word in front of him, thinking that he is indeed a high-ranking official with a long history, otherwise ordinary people can't stand it Those villains?

He is a modern weak chicken, and his psychological quality really needs to be strengthened.

Bao Zheng felt a little relieved about his cooperation, and he relaxed his attitude of refraining from oil and salt, and said slowly: "Since the news of the prince's going to Chenzhou has been heard by officials at all levels, it is better for the prince to meet with the county magistrate. This matter will be investigated in the name of the prince."

King Xiangyang's face turned ugly, "But this king has never investigated the case, if the case is delayed..."

"You don't need to investigate personally, the government will investigate the case by itself. It's just to borrow the name of the prince, and use the mouth of the prince."

It was they who went to investigate, and the king of Xiangyang came to make a show in front of outsiders.

The King of Xiangyang rubbed his chin. In this case, he is not at a loss. Maybe he can gain a good reputation for reforming evil. Although he doesn't mind others misunderstood him by what the King of Xiangyang did before, but he was thrown rotten eggs when he went out. Things, or less as well.

The King of Xiangyang agreed immediately: "Then we will follow Master Bao's wishes."

Bao Zheng nodded, took the token from King Xiangyang, and then sent Zhang Long and Zhao Hu to the Yamen to report to the county magistrate.

King Xiangyang curled his lips and asked curiously: "It will work if you take the token? Don't you need me to come forward in person?"

Bao Zheng had nothing to say when he heard the words, and after a while he said in a bad mood: "The status of King Xiangyang is unusual, why do you need to come forward in person in your name?"

King Xiangyang was also a little speechless.

Who can blame this?

If he stays with you people from Kaifeng Mansion for a few more days, he may almost forget that he is a prince...

Who in your group regards him as a prince! !

As soon as the sky was clear, Bao Zheng sent more people to Zheng Butcher's house to search for clues. As for the male corpse found in Yan Chasan's mother's house, Yan Chasan's mother and son insisted that they had never seen this male corpse before. It's also a bit helpless.

Bao Zheng could only find out whose house Wen's family lived in Baijiabao, and then he followed Gong and Sun Ce to the door to inquire in person.

Everyone was assigned more or less things to do, and King Xiangyang didn't close his eyes all night, feeling tired, so he planned to go back to his room to catch up on sleep before talking.

He looked around for Pei Xiaohu, but he couldn't find anyone, so he probably went to investigate the case, so he stopped meddling and went to sleep happily.

However, the king of Xiangyang slept soundly this time, and he did not wake up until the sun was westward and the sky was blurry.

He didn't bring Zhao Dehan with him when he went out this time, so Pei Xiaohu arranged for his basic necessities of life.But he slept almost the whole day, let alone Pei Xiaohu, he didn't even have a follower who came to ask him to eat.

King Xiangyang rubbed his shriveled belly, got up and tidied up, and was about to go downstairs for dinner.When I went downstairs, I caught up with Xiaoer who had wiped the table, dried the rag, and hurried outside.

The King of Xiangyang stopped him quickly: "Please tell the kitchen to make some small dishes. The dishes don't need to be particular, just hurry up."

Xiao Er showed a professional smile, but was dragged away by him, and immediately apologized: "I'm sorry, guest officer, the cook went out to watch the fun, and he won't be back for a while, why don't guest officers go out and eat something casually?" ?”

The King of Xiangyang asked, "Watch the excitement?"

Although Xiaoer rushed out to see it, but he was afraid of offending the King of Xiangyang, so he couldn't help but stop and explain patiently: "Early this morning, Jiang Wan, the prefect of Chenzhou, brought a large number of people to Sanxing Town to make a fuss in the yamen, saying that his daughter Miss Jiang Zhi'er disappeared after arriving in Sanxing Town last night."

"The black-faced official who was with you showed him the head that Wen Shi was holding. He didn't expect it to be Miss Jiang Zhi'er. No, there is a lot of trouble in the yamen now. Jiang Taishou also said that if the county magistrate If we can't give an explanation, we will have to walk around Sanxing Town without food!"

Jiang Wan?

Is that the big corrupt official who colludes with Anlehou Pangyu to rape the common people of Chenzhou?

If it was really the jewel in his palm, how could there be no servants to protect her at all times?Furthermore, although Chenzhou is close to Sanxing Town, she is a lady, and she doesn't sleep in her own house in the middle of the night, so what is she going to Sanxing Town for?

but…….If the murderer kills her first, then dumps her body in the wild, and takes her head to Sanxing Town to frame the residents of the town, it is also possible.

No wonder Jiang Zhi'er's body couldn't be found no matter what.

The king of Xiangyang thanked the waiter in the shop, and after the waiter left, he also left the inn. Before he could find a shop where he could eat, he unknowingly walked to Butcher Zheng's butcher's shop that he passed by yesterday.

On weekdays, Butcher Zheng closes his shop at about this time. The King of Xiangyang took a look at the butcher's shop with closed doors, and saw that there were still a few small shops selling simple snacks in the alley behind the old street, so he casually Picked a family to go in for dinner.

The seat he chose was on the outermost side, and when he looked up, he could just see the situation in the alley.After ordering food, he was a bit bored. The King of Xiangyang looked into the alley. There was no one on the street. He wondered if they all went to the gate of the yamen to watch the excitement. Many shops were closed and locked, and someone poked his head out from upstairs to look around. , Seeing that no one was there, he poured a basin of water down, and quickly closed the window.

At this time, in the deserted alley, the only staggering and curled up figure was particularly eye-catching.

It was a beggar, squatting motionless at the side of the road diagonally facing the door of the butcher's shop. Although his shaggy hair covered his eyes, it did not cover his sight. The King of Xiangyang followed his gaze. I looked and found that I was looking at Zheng Tuhu's house.

The shopkeeper brought the wontons ordered by the King of Xiangyang to the table, and the steaming aroma rushed to the nose of the King of Xiangyang. The King of Xiangyang was very hungry, so he withdrew his gaze, added two tablespoons of spicy peppers to the wontons, and started to gobble it up.

While eating his eyes, he unconsciously continued to stare at the beggar.

The beggar didn't do anything but stared intently at Butcher Zheng's shop. The King of Xiangyang became suspicious, ate the wontons in a few strokes, wiped his mouth with unsatisfied interest, and decided to leave after seeing the beggar for a while, paying immediately. The money quietly followed.

It was the first time for him to do such an exciting thing, and he forgot that there would be danger. He only thought that this person might be related to the case they were investigating, so he followed to the beggar's lair in one breath.

There are not many pedestrians in this alley, and the beggar once turned his head and stared at King Xiangyang suspiciously. However, King Xiangyang looked elegant and delicate in his outfit, and he walked deliberately swaggeringly, so that the beggars only regarded him as a passerby. Uncle Qian didn't dare to speak out to stop.

The king of Xiangyang, who looked rich but was actually very poor, was playing with his golden fan. Seeing that the beggar seemed to have arrived at his lair, he continued to follow without impulsiveness.

However, he stopped in the distance for a while, and then walked a few steps forward to have a look, only to find that this place might not be a den of beggars, but more like the back door of a wealthy family.

The beggar disappeared at the back door. The King of Xiangyang stepped forward to check carefully, saw the footprints of the beggar climbing the courtyard wall, and guessed that the beggar had turned into this family now.

Could it be that he is a beggar pretending to be a member of this family? ?

The King of Xiangyang didn't dare to go in hastily. After thinking about it, he decided to climb up the wall and take a peek. If he really found something, he could let Zhan Zhao...

Emmmm, forget it, let's call him Pei Xiaohu, you can ask Pei Xiaohu to come over and visit at night.

Taking advantage of no one passing by the back door at this time, King Xiangyang looked up at the height of the wall, rubbed his hands, and followed the traces of the beggars climbing up the wall with difficulty.

Although his body has been pampered all the year round, in order to rebel, he has not fallen into the habit of practicing martial arts to strengthen his body, and his physical fitness is quite good, but Gu Yiyan's soul does not like to exercise, so it is very difficult to climb.

After he managed to climb up, he just took a peek down carefully, and immediately found that the beggar who climbed into the wall not only did not go far, but was squatting in the haystack not far from the wall.

The King of Xiangyang was startled, and before he could react, the beggar saw him, and his eyes became fierce immediately. He picked up the bamboo pole used to dry clothes in the yard, and knocked at the King of Xiangyang.

The king of Xiangyang instinctively wanted to jump down, but unexpectedly he was hit and fell into the yard with his legs upside down. The circle in his eyes hadn't finished turning, and he was dragged into the haystack by the beggar in an instant.

Dizzy, King Xiangyang only felt that he was finished.
