Daming King of Punishment

Page 892

The actions of the yamen servants in the early morning made Ying Tian Mansion suddenly lively.The news of the magistrate's death spread like wildfire, which surprised Song Wuya and Bai Zhuo.

Regarding this matter, the two originally thought that the death of the magistrate might cause panic and discussion among the people in the city, so they did not disclose this news to the outside world. In addition, they also specifically explained to everyone who knew about this matter that they must not Let the news get out.

"Brother Wu Ya, it's only been a few hours! Everyone in the city knows about this matter." Bai Zhuo was very angry about this matter.

After all, the matter has only passed a few hours, if the imperial guards had not come to report this, they would still not know what the people in the city were talking about.

"Brother Bai, since the matter has come to this point, it is useless to say these things. Let's search the prefect's room to see if there are any important clues left." Song Wuya sighed, and he could only express have no choice.

Bai Zhuo was furious, but he still had to do what had to be done.

Before leaving the scene of the crime, they searched the place inside and out, but there was no trace left.

"Brother Wuya, it's really strange for you to say this!" After Bai Zhuo calmed down, he frowned and talked about the case: "We have already determined the cause of death of the prefect and the woman at the scene. The two of us But everyone knows that the powder can be inhaled by the two of them, it must be in front of them. And there is no powder in the whole scene, which is really strange."

This was the first time they noticed the most suspicious place.

According to common sense, after the two deceased people came into contact with these powders, their cheeks and clothes must have been contaminated.However, the powder was not found on the cheeks and clothes of the two of them, as if the powder was completely poured into their nasal cavity.

Now that Bai Zhuo mentioned this matter again, Song Wuya was also puzzled.

"Yeah! It's really strange. No matter what method they use, it's impossible to prevent the powder from spilling in other places. And there is no trace of outsiders entering the scene. I am afraid that after the murder, the murderer made a fuss on the scene. We cleaned it up, so we couldn't find the slightest clue." Song Wuya thought about this problem, and he could only explain it in this way.

"Brother Wuya! Clothes!" Bai Zhuo suddenly exclaimed after hearing Song Wuya's words.

His exclamation also made Song Wuya react: "By the way, the clothes of the magistrate and that woman! We didn't find the clothes worn by the two of them at the scene!"

When they were at the scene before, the two really didn't notice this.Thinking about it now, this is enough to explain Song Wuya's guess just now.

As he said, it is absolutely impossible for all of these powders to enter the nasal cavity of the deceased, and there must be some contamination on the clothes.But the clothes that were stained with powder just disappeared. The murderer must have no way to clean up the powder left on them and took the clothes away.

Thinking of this, Song Wuya immediately thought of another point: "In this way, my previous judgment on the time when the prefect went to the crime scene may not be particularly accurate."

"Brother Wu Ya, even though you say this, this matter has become even more strange!" Bai Zhuo frowned even more. "Wuliang teaches this method, and they know that we know it. But they still want to cover it up. What do you think it is for?"

"This..." It was also difficult for Song Wuya to explain this clearly.

There was nothing strange about this case, and everything felt wrong.

Song Wuya was thinking about this matter in his mind, but he couldn't figure out what was going on.

"grown ups!"

Just when Song Wuya was distressed, the imperial guards suddenly came to report.

"In the backyard of the magistrate's yamen, where the magistrate lived before him, we found something and a box of silver taels."

The imperial guard suddenly mentioned this matter to Song Wuya, Song Wuya and Bai Zhuo naturally couldn't care less about other things, and immediately asked the imperial guard to lead the way to see what they found.

Soon he came to the prefect's bedroom, and a box of silver was placed in the center of the room.

"This box is really heavy! It seems that the magistrate has accepted bribes from others!" Song Wuya frowned.

Just like what Song Wuya said to the master before, the magistrate is in an important position, it is impossible that no one would not want to befriend him, and it is absolutely impossible that no one would want to bribe him.

His words had just been finished in the morning, and this meeting was verified.

"My lord, look at this." The guard came to Song Wuya with an envelope.

When Song Wuya saw the letter, he couldn't wait to open the envelope, and took out the letter inside.

"Master Zhifu, this box of silver is our gift to you. If you are willing to cooperate with us, you will never lose such wealth. I think you are also a smart person, and you should know who we are. This It’s fine if you accept the box of money, if you refuse, you know what will happen to you.”

Song Wuya read the contents of the secret letter, and after reading this, he finally knew the origin of this box of silver.

After listening, Bai Zhuo said: "It seems that this box of silver was used by Wuliangjiao to bribe him. Now that he died here, he should have chosen the latter."

The two people who originally regarded the magistrate as a corrupt official because of this box of silver, suddenly looked at each other squarely again.

The content of the letter was very clear. Although they did not directly state who they were in the letter, it was not difficult to guess their identities.

Wuliangjiao wanted to win over the prefect, but was directly rejected by the prefect.It is precisely because of this that today's murder occurred.

"This also just explains why the magistrate told Master to say that!" Song Wuya said with a sigh.

It was because of this secret letter that the magistrate also made his own choice, so he knew that he might not be able to escape this catastrophe.

Now the matter is clear, but it is still too early to find evidence to bring the murderer of Wuliangjiao to justice.

"These damned Wuliangjiao! How dare they use such means to intimidate and lure them, no wonder so many officials will become their minions!" Bai Zhuo angrily scolded Wuliangjiao for their despicable methods.

It's hard to imagine how hard the prefect went to make such a decision.

Putting away the letter, Song Wuya took a deep breath and asked the guard, "Besides this, are there any other discoveries?"

"Reporting to my lord, there are no other discoveries yet." The imperial guards only discovered these things, and immediately reported them to Song Wuya and Bai Zhuo.

Song Wuya nodded after hearing this: "Continue to search, remember to search carefully, and don't miss every brick and tile!"

The killing of a prefect of a state is no small matter.It just so happened that this incident happened to Song Wuya again, Song Wuya naturally couldn't just ignore it, he had to investigate this incident to get to the bottom of it.

The guards continued to search, and Song Wuya and Bai Zhuo also continued to deduce the case.

"Brother Wuya, you said that Wuliangjiao directly killed the prefect because it failed to win people over. I'm afraid it's not justified?" Bai Zhuo suddenly suspected the reason. "What's more, he didn't choose a time to kill people. When we arrived, didn't he obviously want to provide us with their clues and let us track them down?"

"Yes!" Song Wuya admitted this, but he also had to say: "We have seen a lot of Wuliangjiao's behavior style, and there are many strange things. Nothing is impossible."

Bai Zhui frowned, and looked back at the busy guards.He was still thinking about something, but he didn't say it.

Song Wuya calmed down, calmly thinking about everything that happened today.Not only that, but he also related everything that happened between himself and Bai Zhuo after coming here to this matter.But after much deliberation, apart from this and that, there was really no progress.

He was at a loss, so asking Bai Zhuo for help was of course useless.The only thing that can help him now is the emergence of new clues.

He looked back at the box of silver, turned around and walked out of Fangwai.

"Brother Wuya, where are you going?" Seeing Song Wuya leaving, Bai Zhuo hurriedly asked.

Song Wuya said: "Ask people to ask what happened to this box of silver."

Such a big box is a heavy thing.It is absolutely impossible for the killers of the Wuliang Sect to send this box in without anyone noticing.Even if they sent the box in without disturbing anyone, it was impossible to send it directly to the prefect's room.

After explaining to the yamen servant, not long after, everyone in charge of the magistrate's daily life came before Song Wuya.

Looking at these people, Song Wuya asked directly: "Did you all come here after the magistrate came here?"

After the first question was asked, some nodded and some shook their heads.

Song Wuya looked at the ten or so people, only three of them shook their heads, indicating that they didn't come to Ying Tianfu after the magistrate came to him.
