Absolute Protagonist [Quick Transmigration]

Chapter 52 The world is a game of chess 3

As the capital city of Great Yong, Yongjing has always been prosperous.The imperial city is located in the north, the rich and powerful princes live in the east of the city, low-rank officials and poor students live in the west of the city, and in the south of the city there is Nanshi, where there are commercial exchanges, and there are also many Qinlou Chuguan, restaurants and painting boats.

In a certain brothel, a man with a horse face came out drunk, with a look of aftertaste on his face: "Don't say it! Although the price has doubled, but the enjoyment of this gold cave is better than that of ordinary brothels!"

If he hadn't been rewarded by a nobleman, as a groom of the prime minister's mansion, where would he have the money to come here in style?

"This, this deal..." He hiccupped his neck, and laughed with his tongue out, "It's worth it! It's really worth it! Otherwise, this kind of place... I, Wang Liu, will never even think about coming here!"

The man walked forward crookedly.Just after turning around an alley, a stick fell from the sky and hit him on the forehead.As soon as his eyes went dark, he passed out.

A basin of cold water was poured on his head, and Wang Liu woke up with a shiver, and found himself in a dark yard with a big tree behind him, his hands and feet were tied to the tree, and he couldn't struggle no matter what. take off.

At night, the cold wind blew faintly, the leaves rustled and whimpered, the surrounding weeds were everywhere, and there was no light. This terrifying atmosphere made his heart tremble.

"Yes, is there anyone?" He yelled loudly, "Help!"

A lump of something was stuffed into his mouth suddenly, and at the same time, a big palm like a cattail fan firmly covered his mouth: "Shut up, it will be your turn soon!"

A gloomy voice sounded beside his ears, and in the blurred light, a cold face appeared in front of his eyes, with a tattoo on the left face that was particularly eye-catching.Wang Liu vaguely recognized the other party's identity.This was Qin Yi, the former guard commander of the prime minister's mansion, and also a loyal servant of the Chu family.

It is said that this man was a dutiful son, and he was also a well-known ranger back then. He killed his mother in a fit of anger. Chu Buyi, who was then the local sheriff, saw his compassion and chose a light sentence.After that, they sent someone to settle Qin's mother until she died.

After the sentence expired, this man defected to the Chu Mansion and sold himself to repay his kindness. He stayed there for ten years.

Thinking of Qin Yi's cruel deeds in the past, Wang Liu swayed his hands and feet recklessly, making a whining sound from his mouth.

"Cough...cough...cough..."

There was a sudden coughing sound in the yard, and Qin Yi, who had been glaring at Wang Liu viciously just now, immediately left him behind, but Qin Yi, who was limping on one leg, rushed to the center of the yard a few times and said, "My lord, you Are you okay?"

"I'm fine, let's continue." A jade-like voice sounded in the darkness.

Wang Liu, who had been struggling, finally noticed a reclining chair in the middle of the dark courtyard, and a vague figure was sitting on it.

Seemingly noticing his gaze, the man cast a glance, and Wang Liu seemed to be frozen all over for a moment.

...Could it be the third son?

He vaguely knew that the third son did not die, but went to prison.It's just that this person's icy aura is quite different from that of the former Master Yulou.

When he was surprised, Wang Liu saw a few more vague figures being dragged in from the yard and thrown into the yard like dead dogs.

In the darkness, the young man sitting in this deserted house seemed completely unharmed, his eyes swept over everyone's faces one by one, his voice was soft but firm: "To avoid any misunderstanding, let's go through the trial first. "

After all, he deduced these people based on the existing clues, and there may be some omissions.

……

After half an hour.

"It's a pity, everyone." The young man's clear and jade-like voice sounded again, but everyone couldn't help shivering, "None of you seems to be innocent."

"The person who provided the map of the prime minister's mansion, the person who helped the other party lead the way, the person who transported and hid the stolen goods, the person who deliberately gave false testimony, and the person who bit back and framed..." He tapped his fingers on the seat, every time It seemed to hit the hearts of those present, "Since they are all here, let's send them on the road together!"

"!!!" Everyone's eyes widened in horror, and they struggled desperately. There was a sound of whining and kicking in the yard.It's a pity that a few men soon appeared and held them down.

"Yuzhi!" A person in the middle of the courtyard somehow broke free from his mouth, he begged while struggling, "I am your senior brother! We have grown up together since we were young..."

Qin Yi mercilessly blocked his mouth again, and then kicked him twice in disgust, directly breaking the man's kneecap.

He leaned over to the reclining chair and bent down, and asked in a low voice: "My lord, he is not one of those servants, but a scholar who is likely to become an official. Will killing him directly cause you trouble?"

"Since he hasn't become an official yet, he's just a commoner, so don't worry."

The young man's voice was still like the breeze and the moon, without any murderous intent, as if he was talking about the elegant things of cooking tea and wine, it sounded refreshing.

"Besides, who has proof?"

A lamp lighted faintly in the courtyard, and the flickering light illuminated that heavenly-like face, and the burning flame was reflected in the bottom of his dark eyes.

He stretched out his fingers and pointed at everyone.

"Here, I accidentally fell into the river after being drunk."

"This, the house caught fire and was burned to death."

"This one……"

It's like the judge of the underworld pronouncing the date of death for everyone. Every time he touches a finger, someone's body trembles.After pointing around, he finally pointed to the so-called senior brother who was kneeling in front of him: "As for you..."

"Tomorrow morning, he will be found on the street outside the brothel. The cause of death is... Ma Feng."

As soon as he finished speaking, Qin Yi struck out like lightning, took what was in the man's mouth, and stuffed a pill into it.With both hands, Qin Yi closed the opponent's jaw and forced him to swallow it.

At the same time, more than a dozen knife lights lit up in the yard.

·The next day, more than a dozen bizarre deaths occurred in Yongjing.As a result, the Jingzhaoyin Yamen became busy.

Chu Si sat in a restaurant by the window, his eyes swept over the bustling street and the servants of Jing Zhaoyin's family who were hurrying to and fro on the street.

The Chu family in Boyang has been ministers for many generations, and the Chu family where Prime Minister Chu Buyi belongs is just one of them.Although the entire Chu family seemed vulnerable in the face of the sudden siege of imperial power, the secret family business was by no means imaginable by ordinary people.If it weren't for the imperial court holding the rightful name, the northern and southern armies stationed outside the city, and the evidence of the crime is undeniable, they would never have brought down a powerful Sangong so easily.

After Chu Si came out, the Chu family's secretly preserved strength had a backbone.Although most of the contacts in the past were cut off after the fall of the Prime Minister's Mansion, there was no shortage of gold and silver.Chu Si distributed a lot of money, and Qin Yi, the former leader of the rangers, spoke. I don't know how many rangers in Yongjing secretly defected, and they all became Chu Si's eyes and ears.

The so-called rangers in this era are not the knights who see injustices in the future, but are closer to the gangsters and thugs.It's just that most of them have good skills, and they keep promises and keep their promises first.

With these local snakes, he spent a few days to make a plan, and made clear arrangements for all the people to be dealt with overnight.

It's just that his simple and rude method made the entire Jingzhaoyin Yamen busy.

Outside the morgue, after the coroner's autopsy respectfully reported his conclusion, Shangguan's expression suddenly turned down, and it was covered with dark clouds.

"Except for one of them who suffered a sudden wind, the others were all killed with a knife in the heart?"

In the Yin Yamen of Jingzhao Mansion, the current Jingzhaoyin was also taken aback by the results reported by his subordinates.

...It's okay to say that the one who was on the wind, the other people, on the surface, seemed to be either drowned in water, burned to death, or fell to their deaths... It turns out that a simple autopsy can find out the real cause of death.How carefree is this person behind the scenes, even pretending to be an accident so perfunctory?

Jing Zhaoyin's brows were tightly furrowed.He read the paper a few more times, and suddenly stood up.

——No, not perfunctory.This is his intention!

Except that the cause of death of these people was murder, there was no evidence of the murderer on the file, and all clues were wiped out. If there was no autopsy, it would look like an accident.

However, the laws of the Dayong Dynasty were perfect, and the chain of evidence was linked one after another.Even if the autopsy results in a murder, even if the murderer is guessed, there is no evidence to arrest him.

So why did the other party leave this last flaw?This is his intention, this is a kind of intimidation!

At this time, a subordinate came up to him and said in a low voice, "My lord, this subordinate also discovered something."

"what's up?"

"These people, including the scholar who is on the horse, are all related to the prime minister's mansion..." The man said cautiously, "especially the guy on the horse, I heard that he is the disciple who came forward to sue the prime minister."

As he spoke, the man muttered to himself.Could it be that those people in the Prime Minister's Mansion died too unjustly and came to take revenge?

...The Prime Minister's Mansion?

Jing Zhaoyin's eyes narrowed.A person's name crossed his mind.

Master Yulou, Chu Yuzhi!

It's him!He was deliberately intimidating other people involved in that big case!In other words, he wanted to force those people to take the initiative to expose.

And Jing Zhaoyin can guess even if he doesn't know it, the person who can bring down the prime minister must be a big shot in the court!

"How courageous..." Jing Zhaoyin couldn't help sighing in a low voice, "Threatening princes and dignitaries with a white body..."

· "Chu Yuzhi, you really have the courage! Don't you worry about your own safety at all?"

In the restaurant, a voice suddenly sounded.Qin Yi subconsciously walked in front of Chu Si, looking warily at whoever was coming.

Qu Yingfei, who was dressed in a jade crown and splendid attire, came up from the stairs, his face was not good-looking, apparently Chu Si's threat to him still made him worry about it.

"It doesn't matter, isn't there a young master here?" Chu Si signaled Qin Yi to back away, and said with a smile, "I believe that the young master will not let me have an accident."

As he spoke, he picked up the teapot and poured a cup of tea.

Qu Yingfei's face darkened at a speed visible to the naked eye: "Don't go too far, you think you can keep threatening me with this matter?"

"That's right." Chu Si nodded seriously.He is very clear that the current self is far from breaking the opponent's bottom line.

Qu Yingfei became angry for a while, and was about to take the cup of tea in depression.But Chu Si smiled and picked it up and drank it into his own mouth.

"Even if you are not worthy enough, Young Master, the dignified prince will not be unable to protect even a white body?"
