Chapter 73

The shopkeeper's wife added: "It must be her right, because I came over there, and there was no one on the street. Who wasn't she? That muffled sound must have hit something, and there was nothing to hit on the road? What else could it be except hitting her? Besides, the female beggar was walking in the middle of the road, so how could she not be hit?"

Lu Jinping said: "Do you recognize that the female beggar who passed by your door is the one lying on the outside cart?"

"That's right, it's her. She was begging for food two streets in front of us some time ago. I gave her food twice! This beggar is a fool. He can't speak, but he can only grin and cry. That day she walked over from my door, and I saw it very clearly with the lantern."

Lu Jinping said: "Who is the eldest master of the Yun family who drives?"

The shopkeeper said: "I don't know the specifics. It seems that I am not from our Tang Dynasty. I speak strangely. I often drive a painted carriage. I heard that his surname is Yun. The eldest young master of the Yun family likes to drink. After getting drunk, he likes to drive a carriage himself. He bumped into someone several times, but he just lost money and left it alone. Unexpectedly, he hit him to death this time..."

The head bear behind him glared at his eyes and scolded: "Don't talk nonsense, how did you know that it was the eldest master of the Yun family who was killed? Don't talk nonsense if you don't know!"

The shopkeeper was so scared that he trembled, and he nodded and bowed repeatedly to blame him, saying that he was talking nonsense.

When Lu Jinping heard this, he turned around and looked at Captain Bear, but did not ask immediately. He turned around and asked the shopkeeper of the oil and salt shop and said, "Do you know who else has seen this except you and your wife? "

The shopkeeper shook his head and said, "This is not clear, but I probably don't see anyone else, because it was already midnight, and every household was sleeping on the lights and there were no people on the street."

"Is there anyone else on that carriage?"

"I don't know this. It's a hundred or ten steps apart, and it's dark. I saw the eldest master of the Yun family jumping out of the car. Because there was some moonlight that day, I saw it quite clearly, but I didn't know if there was anyone in the car. I saw the eldest master of the Yun family jumping out of the car. He was right. He liked to drive his own carriage and didn't want the coachman. He was tall and burly, and he could recognize it at a glance. He had a loud voice and a strange tone. He could hear it at a time and would not admit his mistake."

Lu Jinping thanked the two witnesses, turned around and walked to the door, and said to Captain Bear: "Come out with me."

Seeing that Lu Jinping's face was gloomy, Captain Xiong didn't know what he said wrong, he followed him outside the house nervously.

Lu Jinping walked to the side of the horse before he stopped. After waiting for Captain Xiong to follow, he turned around and said, "Remember, don't interrupt the witness when asking for a witness in the future!"

The head bear blushed and hurriedly bowed to agree.

Lu Jinping said again: "It is not suitable for threatening witnesses like that. If a witness testifies, he will say what he sees, so that we can fully grasp the facts of the case. This is to verify the case, not a debate in the court. No matter who is involved, no matter what language he uses, as long as it is not a ruthless person, it should not be stopped. The purpose is to hear clearly what he said and what happened at that time. This kind of original testimony is the greatest help in solving the case. Do you understand?"

Captain Bear quickly bowed and laughed and said, "I know, please forgive me, sir. I will never dare to do it again."

Lu Jinping's expression calmed down slightly, and he looked at him and said, "Listen to what you said just now, this Yun family's eldest son is very good at origin. What exactly does he do?"

Captain Xiong hurriedly said, "He is the cousin of the Tibetan King Chi-dai Zhudan. He followed his father to the Tang Dynasty for the marriage proposal for the Tibetan King. The marriage delayed for a long time. His father went back to Tubo first if he had something to do, and kept him here to wait for news and temporarily live in our Tang Dynasty."

Lu Jinping's eyes widened when he heard this. It had been half a year since he arrived in the Tang Dynasty. His previous history knowledge made him know that there were many marriages between the Tang Dynasty and Tubo, and Princess Wencheng and Princess Jincheng were the most famous two of them. The Princess Jincheng happened during this period. A year ago, Tubo sent an envoy to propose marriage to Emperor Zhongzong of Tang, and Emperor Zhongzong of Tang promised to marry Princess Jincheng to him, but for various reasons, it has not been successful.

Lu Jinping said: "Listen to what you said just now, this eldest young master of the Yun family is actually the cousin of Tubo Zanpuchi, who is based on Zhudan. How is his surname Yun?"

"I heard that he obtained the Han nationality's name himself."

"Since he is Zamp Chi's cousin of Zhudan, he should have a prominent position. Why don't he live in the capital and hide in Tongzhou?"

Captain Xiong smiled embarrassedly and said, "I don't know much about this. I only know that he is from Tubo. It was Governor Feng who asked us to protect him properly. Therefore, the eldest young master of the Yun family made a compensation for the injury several times and did not arrest him."

Lu Jinping sneered: "Can Tubo Zanpu's cousin be so arrogant? Even if my Tang prince breaks the law and still commits the same crime as the common people, why should he be merciful? Let's go and meet him. If he really violates the king's law, he will have to follow the law of the Tang Dynasty."

Captain Xiong hurriedly agreed, "That's right, that's right, he had hit someone before, and did not cause any major damage, so he just paid some medical expenses. If there was a life lawsuit, he would still be punished according to my Tang Dynasty criminal law. Not to mention that he was just a cousin of Zampu of Tubo, even if his father committed a crime, he would still be arrested and punished!"

Lu Jinping looked at him squintly: "If the Tibetan king's father dies, he can only become the Tibetan king Zamp. If his father dies, how can he commit a crime?"

Captain Xiong scratched his head and said embarrassedly: "Yes, yes, it should be said that his own son, even if the son of the King of Tibetan crimes committed in my Tang Dynasty, he would have to be punished according to my Tang Dynasty criminal law! Hehe."

Lu Jinping laughed again: "This Tubo Zanpu is less than ten years old now. Can he give birth to a son?"

The incident of Tubo Zampo bringing Zhudan to propose marriage has spread throughout the Tang Dynasty. However, everyone knows that Zampo was not ten years old at that time. Because Emperor Zhongzong of Tang thought he was too young and not suitable for marriage, he agreed to betroth the princess with him in principle, but he never sent the princess to Tibet and wanted to wait until he was older before talking. Therefore, many people know that the Tibetan king Zampo Zampo was a child. As the head captain in the yamen, he should also know that this bear captain should have said it casually, but he didn't expect that his words would not be true, so he couldn't help but grin.

At this moment, several people turned over and the captain of the bear asked Lu Jinping, "Do you want to drag the corpse together?"

Lu Jinping pondered for a moment and said, "Before there is no sufficient evidence to prove that this Tubo Zamp's cousin hit and killed the female beggar, we should treat each other with courtesy. It is better to be courtesy and then soldiers. Let's go to the door to understand the situation first. - take the body back to the morgue in the yamen to store it."

Captain Bear quickly ordered someone to drag the body back, and then led Lu Jinping to a mansion.

Captain Xiong said to Lu Jinping: "This is the mansion of the eldest master of the Yun family."

Lu Jinping looked up and saw that the mansion was not very majestic. It seemed that the cousin of Tubo Zamp was relatively low-key and not too ostentatious. He said to Captain Xiong: "Go forward and snap the door, pay attention to etiquette."

Captain Bear nodded and agreed, turned over and got off the horse and walked forward quickly, grabbed the door frame and knocked it a few times.

After a while, the door creaked open, an old man poked his head out, looked up and down and said, "Who are you looking for?"

He heard that he was a native of the Tang Dynasty, and he must have been the local concierge hired. Captain Xiong clasped his fists and bowed and said, "Old man, please report back to your master, our Lu Jinping, Lord Lu, come to visit."

The concierge frowned and said, "The master told me that all visitors will not be seen, sorry." After that, he was about to close the door. Captain Xiong quickly supported the door and looked back at Lu Jinping.
