Chapter 75
Lu Jinping said: "You can stay in my Tang Dynasty with peace of mind, it's a rare trip."
Yunzi smiled and said, "I think so too, so we wait here patiently. By the way, you can go into the house first, sit down and chat."
They had already walked to the front hall and entered the flower hall to separate the guests and hosts. A Tubo maid came forward to serve tea.
Lu Jinping said to Yunjiu: "I actually visited the door mainly for a case. A female corpse was found in a small wood outside the city. It is likely to be killed by a murder or an accident. While we were investigating, witnesses proved that we saw Yunjiu that night, you once drove a red carriage and ran wildly on the street in the middle of the night. The female beggar was passing by and was hit by your car, so I came to verify this."
After saying that, he looked at Yunjiu.
Yunjiu looked obviously a little panicked, and he looked at his sister with help. Yunzi was a little surprised, looked back, and said to Lu Jinping: "Are you talking about my brother's carriage hitting the female beggar to death?"
"We need to investigate this matter. Now there are witnesses who have proved that your brother was driving and hitting this female beggar. So, I hope your brother can tell us the whole story of this matter."
Yunjiu said: "No, I didn't hit someone. I slept at home that day. I didn't go anywhere, how could I hit someone!"
Lu Jinping sneered: "I haven't said what day it was yet, why are you sure you were sleeping that day? You were clearly talking."
Yunjiu was even more panicked and insisted on making sense: "I have been sleeping all these days."
Lu Jinping said: "Are you sleeping or going out to call friends to drink? We can find this by checking it. I hope you are not telling a lie, otherwise, the Tubo envoy Zanpuchi and Zhudan's cousin, if he is a lies in person, it can prove that you Tubo has no sincerity to propose marriage. I will report this to the court, but I am afraid that the emperor will take the exam again to consider your sincerity in proposing marriage."
Upon hearing this, Yunzi turned his head and looked at Lu Jinping for a long time, and said, "Sir, are you threatening us?"
Lu Jinping also looked at her and said lightly: "We are confident in the Tang Dynasty. Since our emperor promised to marry, he will send the princess to Tubo. However, when you welcome the bride, Zanpu's cousin committed murder in the lobby and concealed the truth without being willing to tell the truth honestly, then this matter is not a trivial matter. I must report it to the court. Of course, I am willing to believe that this beggar was not killed by you, but you must explain where you were at that time. We will verify it one by one and not wrongly accuse you. What we need is the truth."
Yunjiu sneered: "Aren't you just a beggar? If you die, you will die. At worst, I will compensate him with a sum of money."
Lu Jinping said coldly: "Aren't you Tubo beggars human?"
"Sir, you can't say that!" Yunzi was quite displeased. "In our Tubo, no matter whether it is the birds flying in the sky or the fish swimming in the river, as long as there is life, we will cherish them, let alone live people. Beggars begging on the streets will give alms coins. When the beggars are sick, we will also send them treatment. How can we not be treated as humans?"
"But your brother's attitude towards speaking is not the same as you."
Yunjiu knew that he was wrong and smiled embarrassedly and said, "I don't mean that, I just said, if I bump into her, I'm willing to pay for it, that's it."
Lu Jinping said: "Did you admit that you hit someone?"
"I didn't hit someone, I said, I've been there for those days..." As soon as he said this, he remembered that Lu Jinping said he would verify it. If he proved that lies, it would affect the marriage, so he changed his words and said, "Okay, I admit that I went out that day, but I really didn't hit someone."
Lu Jinping said: "I have reminded you that your identity is an envoy of Tubo, and you are a relative of Tubo Zamp, and your status is noble and special. Your words and deeds may affect whether this marriage can be successful. Because you are involved in a murder case now, you must cooperate with our yamen to find out the case with a prudent attitude. This is what I have repeatedly emphasized."
Yunzi bowed and said, "Sir, please don't worry, if it was my brother who did it, what would happen? Since my brother said it was not him, it would not be him. If Sir, insist on thinking that it was my brother who killed your beggar in the Tang Dynasty, please provide evidence, otherwise you should respect our Tubo envoys, don't make groundless and speculate."
Lu Jinping said lightly: "Of course I have evidence. At least witnesses prove that they saw your brother driving your unique red painted carriage and hit someone on the street in the middle of the night. Can you confirm that it is your brother? Isn't such evidence called evidence?"
"Since you have evidence, why don't you come to investigate? Why don't you arrest people directly?"
Lu Jinping thought to himself that the woman's eyes were very different, and she actually realized that her evidence was not enough. Indeed, the witness did not witness the collision with someone, nor did he witness the beggar being killed, so this evidence was not convincing enough.
Lu Jinping stood up and said, "Since the girl has already said she wants evidence, then I need to look at your brother's carriage and look for evidence. I wonder if the girl is allowed?"
"If you want to search the residences of our Tubo envoys, you may not have the final say. At least your governor must report to your Dali Temple and the Ministry of Justice, and then go to the Ministry of Rites and jointly approve the documents so that you can search our home."
"You are not worried about finding out the evidence, right? I believe that if your brother really did it, he would have enough time to clean up the evidence in the past two days, I might not find any evidence. I just used this to test it out, but I didn't expect you to lose confidence all of a sudden. In this case, as you said, I would report this matter to the governor and the governor reported it to the emperor to decide. At that time, I was afraid that I would have to do it for the business. If the emperor knew the truth, then I would not know whether the emperor would reconsider the marriage matter."
When they heard this, Yunzi and Yunjiu couldn't help but change their faces. This time they came as envoys to get married.
Previously, the Tubo of the Tang Dynasty fought for years and had victory and defeats each other. However, the people on the border suffered for many years and suffered from the misfortune, and neither side gained any practical benefits. Therefore, after the new Zanpu ascended the throne, his grandmother was regent because of his young age. This grandmother missed the peaceful and harmonious relationship between Princess Wencheng and Tubo, and therefore decided to send envoys to seek marriage again in order to repair their relationship with the Tang Dynasty. This time, Yunzi and others came to marry relatives, not to cause trouble. If the brother really killed someone in the Tang Dynasty this time, it would not be a trivial matter, so it would be better to find out clearly.
Thinking of this, Yunzi said: "Since the Lord said this, we will obey the Lord and hope that the Lord can find out the case as soon as possible and give my brother a clear innocence."
"Is it necessary to use evidence to speak innocence? Then please let me take me to the stables and see your carriage."
When Yunjiu heard that his sister had agreed to let the government investigate the case, he looked even pale and did not dare to say more. He led them to the stable.
Lu Jinping looked at Yun Jiukuiwu's strong back and was puzzled. Seeing that he was so strong, he thought he must be a master and bold. He didn't expect that he was so timid. He was afraid that he would be like this before he checked it. Could it be that he really hit the female beggar to death? If this is true, then this matter is really troublesome, because it involves the marriage between the Tang Dynasty and Tubo, and I am afraid that it will not be so easy to deal with.
When I came to the stable, I saw several horses inside, some were napping, some were turning around, and several carriages were placed next to them, all of which were painted vermilion red.
Lu Jinping asked Yunjiu, "Which carriage were you driving that night?"
Yunjiu said: "I can't remember this. I drank a little too much that day. Anyway, we only have these carriages in our house, so you can check it."
Lu Jinping looked at the round wheels and couldn't help but feel a sudden change in his heart. The fracture of the deceased's right leg should be the crushing injury caused by the wheel crushing, which would cause tearing and displacement on the surface of the skin.
