Zhan Zhao investigated this series of missing cases and finally encountered the first corpse in three months.
Having said that, this corpse was not picked up by Guard Zhan.
There were many witnesses when the murder occurred, and almost everyone in the restaurant saw it. The shopkeeper's friend, along with the diners, and the first group of the Imperial City Army, told the story of the incident in a slight manner.
The case was actually very simple. Just now, three men in black dresses in Wulongzhai were sitting in Yuelai Restaurant for dinner. While eating, the three of them started arguing for some reason and then started.
There were also gossipers who said that they had quarreled, as if they were talking about the third grandma. It was estimated that two of them were jealous and the other one was fighting.
As a result, the three of them quarreled and knocked over the table and chairs and scared away the diners. There was a yamen runner drinking next to them. The yamen runner stepped forward to persuade the fight, but he didn't know what he said, but the three suddenly joined forces to beat the servant. The four pushed and shoved, and finally the yamen runner was pushed down, and his head hit the steps at the gate and died on the spot.
At that time, many passers-by shouted "Murdered", and then a team of imperial city troops were nearby, so they rushed over to check it out.
When the three Wulong Village saw that the old man was dead, they saw the imperial city army running from afar and hurriedly ran away.
Before the Imperial City Army caught three people, they saw the family emblem of Wulong Village. When the dead yamen runners were wearing the clothes of Kaifeng Mansion, they hurriedly notified Ouyang Shaozheng and Kaifeng Mansion.
After hearing so many people describe the incident, Zhan Zhao asked, "After he fell, have anyone else approached him?"
Bai Yutang and Gongsun were also curious about this question - was the half brick in the old man's arms stuffed into his arms, or was it the one he had always kept in his arms?
This time I asked the shopkeeper and the guy... It was a mess at that time, and there were indeed many people around. Everyone was busy catching the thief and reporting the case. As for whether anyone had stuffed something into his arms, no one noticed it.
Zhan Zhao asked the shopkeeper again if he knew the old man, and everyone said he had never seen him before.
Gongsun was also puzzled that the white-haired yamen runners were wearing Kaifeng Mansion's clothes, which should be very eye-catching, but does this old man know the invisibility technique? Why doesn't anyone know him, and they don't know where he came from, and they are evil.
Finally, the Chao Ma Han carried the body back to Kaifeng Mansion, and Gongsun and his wife went back for an autopsy.
Zhan Zhao and Bai Yutang didn't care about stealing the bamboo bear Lin Yehuo. The two returned the same way and came to the exterior wall of the inn to find the place where Chef Feng hit his head just now.
Sure enough, I saw a piece of empty space above the wall. Half of the brick was picked out on the bloody wall just now.
Zhan Zhao compared the brick to the hole, and it just right.
"It seems that something is inside." Seeing that there was a white spot at the bottom of the wall hole, Wu Ye reached out to take it out.
I saw a half-folded piece of paper in the hole.
Open the paper and three words "Suxin Ren" were written on a piece of rice paper the size of a palm.
"Suxinren?" Zhan Zhao frowned, "I feel familiar..."
"I heard that many people are very interested in me, and I am happy to count the morning light." said the fifth master, "There is this sentence in the two poems of Tao Yuanming's immigration."
Zhan Zhao touched his chin, "Old Tao has been thinking about moving and escaping the world for the rest of his life."
Bai Yutang made him laugh.
"What do you think?" Zhan Zhao leaned over and looked at the three words on the piece of paper. "The words are quite delicate."
The fifth master hesitated for a moment and said, "It feels like a woman wrote it."
"Can this be seen?" Zhan Zhao asked.
The fifth master shrugged, "It just feels like, go back and ask Bao Yan and others."
Zhan Zhao looked at the bricks in his hand and the holes in the wall, then looked at the piece of paper, frowned and asked Bai Yutang, "What's the connection?"
Bai Yutang also shook his head, "I had a suspect before, but he died that day. The four lost masters were not found."
Zhan Zhao also scratched his head - for no reason.
"Go to find Wu Shanchuan?" Bai Yutang suggested.
Zhan Zhao spread his hands, "According to the situation at the scene, people and physical evidence gathered, and just let the yamen runners arrest people."
Bai Yutang also nodded, "Where does Wu Shanchuan live?"
Zhan Zhao said "tsk" and said, "There is a record in Kaifeng Prefecture. First go back and see what the results of Gongsun's autopsy are, and then ask Lord Bao to approve the arrest document. Let's go find Lao Wu to ask for someone!"
After saying that, the two rushed back to Kaifeng Mansion with bricks and notes.
As soon as I arrived in front of Kaifeng Mansion, I saw a carriage parked under the steps, with the badge of Wulong Village on it.
Zhan Zhao and Bai Yutang looked at each other - Ouch?
The two of them quickly walked into the yamen and asked the yamen guarding the gate what was going on with the carriage.
The yamen runner said that an old man had just taken three apprentices over and said that he had surrendered to Kaifeng Prefecture and injured his life in the fight on the street. He asked Lord Bao to be surrendered.
Zhan Zhao and Bai Yutang were both surprised and asked, "Where are people?"
"In the hall."
The two ran to the lobby in front, and Mr. Bao was indeed promoted to the hall. When they came to the back of the screen, the adults finished their questions and asked the yamen runners to take the three disciples from Wujiazhai to the prison and wait for the detention.
Zhan Zhao picked up the files recorded by his master and read them.
Wu Shanchuan led his men with three disciples, and the content of his men surrendered was roughly the same as what the restaurant guys said.
Two of the three disciples in Wulong Village were jealous of a woman, and their senior brother took them to have dinner at the Yuelai Restaurant. He originally wanted to mediate them.
Who knew that the two of them had a disagreement and started fighting. The senior brother was trying to persuade the fight, and suddenly a yamen runner came.
However, there is a passage here that everyone doesn't know.
According to the descriptions of the three disciples of Wulong Village, the yamen came up not to persuade the fight, but to provoke him, saying that Wulong Village is just like the upper beam and the lower beam is crooked, and the disciple is as shameless as the master.
The three disciples were angry and wanted to argue with him, but they started to push them. The yamen runner accidentally fell and died after accidentally falling.
Wu Shanchuan said that several disciples were young and ignorant to cause a big disaster, but they heard that the yamen runner was also pretending to be a lie. There was a reason for the incident, so they took their disciples to come and asked Lord Bao to find out the case and then surrender.
After reading the records in the hall, Lord Bao also finished the trial. Nian was in Wulongzhai and surrendered himself with a good attitude, so Lord Bao did not hold Wu Shanchuan accountable. He left the three disciples involved in the case to be detained and awaited trial. He instructed Wu Shanchuan to go back and take good care of his subordinates. Lord Bao no longer made things difficult for him and asked him to go back.
Wu Shanchuan, who left the lobby, looked unlucky, shook his head and sighed, and walked towards his carriage.
At this time, I heard someone calling him behind me.
When Wu Shanchuan turned around, Zhan Zhao followed him out.
"Oh, Lord Zhan." Wu Shanchuan bowed to Zhan Zhao.
Zhan Zhao invited Wu Shanchuan to sit inside and there were some things I wanted to ask.
Wu Shanchuan nodded and followed Zhan Zhao into the backyard of Kaifeng Prefecture.
In the yard, Bai Yutang was also there. The fifth master had just come from the coroner's room. The autopsy on Gongsun was almost over and said that the old man was indeed old and his death was similar to the restaurant shopkeeper's description. There was nothing wrong with it. As for his identity, he had not found out, but Gongsun said that this was definitely not a yamen runner when he was young, because depending on his physical condition, he should be a scholar and not a bad person, and he was very weak in health.
Chef Feng from Taibaiju just now also came to recognize someone, and the chef said that this person showed him the way.
Zhan Zhao and Bai Yutang sat down with Wu Shanchuan and chatted.
Wu Shanchuan was quite frank. He explained to Zhan Zhao and Bai Yutang about the "accidental encounter" on Beichen Lake just now. In fact, they wanted to get close to Xie Yan.
Zhan Zhaohe Bai Yutang was puzzled.
Wu Shanchuan explained that his Wujia Village swallowed up many of the territory and people in Gaohe Village at that time. It has developed very quickly recently. There are several docks that he liked to buy, but they all belonged to Xie Yan's father Xie Guangyuan. Xie Guangyuan was a scholar and didn't like to deal with martial arts practitioners, but the one he loved the most was his son Xie Yan. Wu Shanchuan felt that the opportunity was rare, so he wanted his son to get to know him, and it would be better to be a friend, so that he could do things in the future. But unfortunately, his sons were all rough, so Wu Ren was a little bit awkward to learn literature... and he ended up being backfiring.
Zhan Zhao and Bai Yutang were helpless - it turned out that's the case...
Wu Shanchuan said that he knew he had offended the Tang Sect and was also angry at the time, but this time he came to Kaifeng, he really didn't want to cause trouble. He was so brave that he didn't dare to disturb the wedding of Tang Xiaomei and General You. He brought a lot of gifts this time, and wanted to find an opportunity to recognize Mrs. Tang and improve the relationship with the Tang Sect. He originally thought it was very good, but who knew that he would encounter such a thing...
"well……"
Wu Shanchuan was sighing.
Zhan Zhao asked him, "The restaurant guy said he heard your apprentices say what the third grandma is talking about..."
Before Zhan Zhao could finish asking, Wu Shanchuan blushed, "Oh, it's hard to say... It's embarrassing, embarrassing!"
Zhan Zhao and Bai Yutang looked at each other and looked at Wu Shanchuan - how can you be embarrassed? You have done a lot of embarrassing things, and you are not bad for two times this time, let's talk about it?
Wu Shanchuan scratched his head and said, "That's the case. I took a concubine last year... well... it's the third grandma that my disciple calls me."
Zhan Zhao asked, "What's wrong with this third grandma?"
Wu Shanchuan's face changed color, "Just... called Liu'er, she was originally my friend's wife..."
Zhan Zhao and Bai Yutang both raised eyebrows - so did you steal your friend's wife?
Wu Shanchuan was embarrassed, "Oh, this... I really fell in love with Liu'er..."
Zhan Zhao and Bai Yutang were also speechless, looking at Wu Shanchuan - you are old, look at your promising prospects...
Bai Yutang asked, "Which friend are you?"
"Ahem." Wu Shanchuan was a little uncomfortable, but he still said frankly, "My friend is a warder. He doesn't have home all year round, so he asks me to take care of Liu'er. I get along with Liu'er day and night and feel love... Later, Liu'er and He Li turned to marry me! Although there are some rumors in the world, I didn't have an affair with Liu'er, and I didn't break into the corner of my brothers. She followed me after He Li!"
Zhan Zhao asked, "Which escort agency is your friend from?"
Wu Shanchuan looked at the sky and muttered, "Cheng Yun's escort agency's...a red deceased head..."
Zhan Zhao and Bai Yutang were both stunned for a moment, and then spoke in unison, "Lu Chengyun?"
Wu Shanchuan hummed.
Zhan Zhao opened his eyes wide, "You pried the corner of the wall of Lu Chengyun, the first wardrobe in the Central Plains?"
Wu Shanchuan curled his lips, "What's the point of staking the corner..."
Before he finished speaking, Bai Yutang interrupted him, "I remember... Lu Chengyun was you who took the brother?"
Wu Shanchuan continues to look at the sky.
To be continued...
