Qin Xiao heard the voice of Zhao Qing, frowned, and turned back to look at Hongye. Hongye just waved his hand and went behind the screen.

Qin Xiao went out and saw Zhao Qing in the yard. Before he could speak, Zhao Qing said, "Young master, are you free now? The governor has asked you to come over."

Qin Xiao did not delay. He followed Zhao Qing to the lobby and saw several officials in the lobby. When he saw Qin Xiao coming, the governor Fan Yanggang opened his mouth, but before he could speak, Qiao Ruixin, the lieutenant general over there, had already asked: "

Qin Shaoqing, what clues can you get from Lin Hong?"

Qin Xiao glanced at Qiao Ruixin and didn't answer. He went over to sit on the chair and then asked Fan Yang: "Sir, over there at the restaurant...?"

"The weather is hot, and the Hou Ye's body cannot always be left like that." Fan Yang looked solemn: "I asked Magistrate Mao to find a coffin and temporarily bury the Hou Ye's body. There are many coffins made of ancient wood in the city. I want to find them.

It is not difficult to make a coffin made of high-quality nanmu. In addition, there are people in the city who store ice cubes and put them in the coffin to temporarily protect the body from decay."

"My lord arranged it." Qin Xiao nodded.

"Qin Shaoqing, you don't have to worry about the body of the Marquis." Qiao Ruixin stared at Qin Xiao and said: "You interrogated Lin Hong this morning. What clues can you get? Where is Lin Hong now?"

Qin Xiao shook his head and said calmly: "Lin Hong refused to admit that he had the intention to rebel. He said he knew nothing about the rebellious party. It was difficult for me to get a confession from him."

"Where is he?" Qiao Ruixin leaned forward: "Qin Shaoqing couldn't ask, so he handed him over to me. I will try to pry a confession out of him no matter what."

"General Qiao, it is not the military's turn to interrogate the criminals, and your Shence Army is not qualified to interrogate the criminals." Feixin said unceremoniously.

Qiao Ruixin's face darkened and she said: "It's about the cause of Mr. Hou's death. Since you can't find out, I will certainly try it. Mr. Qin, where is Lin Hong? I will take him back for interrogation now."

"I can't interrogate him, so of course someone can." Qin Xiao smiled slightly: "I have handed him over to someone who can interrogate his confession, so there is no need to worry, General Qiao."

"Leave it to someone else?" Qiao Ruixin was startled and frowned: "To whom?"

Fan Yang smoothed things over and said: "General Qiao, Qin Shaoqing is an official of Dali Temple. When such a case occurs, Qin Shaoqing will naturally have a sense of proportion. They are the yamen that investigate criminal cases, so we should not get too involved in torture matters."

"That can't be done." Qiao Ruixin said immediately: "Master Governor, the Shence Army came to Hangzhou just to quell the rebellion. The Lin family is the largest family in Hangzhou. Even if it is not the leader of the rebel party, it is still an important party member. He has already

Logically speaking, those captured by us are prisoners of the Shence Army." He glanced at Qin Xiao and sneered: "Qin Shaoqing interrogated Lin Hong from us. In order to cooperate with the investigation, we did not stop him. Now you can't interrogate him.

However, the prisoner was sent to another place, Mr. Qin, how do you explain it?"

"There's nothing to explain." Qin Xiao smiled calmly: "General Qiao seems to have forgotten that the princess is still in Jiangnan. Since we can't find out, we can send it to the princess for interrogation, and maybe we can get the result. Does General Qiao think that the princess is not guilty?

Are you qualified to intervene in this matter?"

Qiao Ruixin was startled, her lips moved, but she couldn't speak.

"Has Lin Hong been sent to the princess?" Fan Yang was also a little surprised.

Qin Xiao nodded slightly: "Such a big thing happened, and I couldn't ask the court for instructions at the moment, so I had to report it to Princess Ming first. An Xinghou and the princess were cousins. They were assassinated in Hangzhou. The princess was naturally filled with sadness and anger. At this time, the princess will

Lin Hong sent it over, if he really knows something, the princess will certainly have a way to pry his mouth open."

"Yes, yes." Fan Yang nodded repeatedly and said with a smile: "It is most appropriate for the princess to investigate the case herself."

"Sir, of course there cannot be any delay in tracking down the assassin, but arrangements for the body of the Marquis must be made as soon as possible." Qin Xiao sighed: "It's almost July, and the weather is getting hotter day by day. Even if there is ice to prevent the body from rotting,

But as time goes by, the body will still be somewhat damaged. Do you want the body to be sent to Kyoto as soon as possible?"

Fan Yang said: "I asked you all to come here today to discuss this matter. In order to avoid greater commotion in Hangzhou, the news of the assassination of the Marquis has not been publicized to the outside world for the time being. However, if the body of the Marquis remains in Hangzhou, it will be safe.

If you don't stop the fire, people will find out sooner or later. In addition, the coffin of the Marquis cannot always be stored in the Sanhe Building. There is no suitable place to park the coffin of the Marquis in Hangzhou. I also think that the body should be sent back to Kyoto as soon as possible." Looking at Qiao Ruixin.

, asked: "General Qiao, what do you think?"

"This matter is up to you to discuss and decide." Qiao Ruixin said.

"Actually, sending the Marquis back to Kyoto as soon as possible will be of great help to the case." Feixin suddenly said: "The Marquis is a noble body. Even if he passes away, not everyone can touch his body. According to the rules of Dali Temple in handling cases

, When a murder occurs, the police must examine the body. Maybe some clues can be found from the scars left by the murderer, but the Marquis is in Hangzhou now, and the police do not dare to inspect the body without the permission of the Prime Minister." After a pause,

He continued: "I'm sorry to say it bluntly, but even if an autopsy is done on these people, they won't be able to tell any clues from the wounds."

"Master Fei's words make sense." Zhao Qingye, who had remained silent, said: "It is not difficult for Hangzhou to find a corpse for autopsy, but they can only judge how the victim died, and they have no ability to deduce who the murderer is from the wounds.

.”

Feixin nodded and said: "That's right. I believe that the people in the Ziyi Prison know much more about the various techniques in the world than we do. If we want to deduce the origin of the assassin from the wounds, I am afraid that only the Ziyi Prison has such ability.

Of course, the official is not saying that the Ziyi Prison will definitely be able to find out who the murderer is, but if they investigate, they are more likely to find out the origin of the assassin than we are. If the Marquis is killed, the Saint and the Prime Minister will definitely do whatever it takes.

To track down the assassin, I believe this case will eventually be handed over to the purple prisoner."

Qin Xiao nodded and said: "I agree with what Mr. Fei said. This case is too big, and the saint should hand it over to the purple prisoner."

"Ziyi Supervision will naturally focus on the wounds on the body when investigating the case." Feixin received Qin Xiao's approval and was confident, saying solemnly: "If the body is delayed in Hangzhou for too long and is returned to the capital with damage, it will be very important for those investigating the assassin.

The identity will inevitably increase the difficulty. Therefore, the lower official boldly believes that the body of the Marquis should be sent back to Kyoto, and the sooner the better."

Fan Yang nodded repeatedly.

"Since you have all decided to send the Marquis' body back to Kyoto, I have no objection." Qiao Ruixin said: "But you must arrange for someone to escort him along the way to ensure that the Marquis returns to Kyoto safe and sound."

Qin Xiao smiled and said: "General Qiao, you will have to work hard on this matter."

Qiao Ruixin was startled at first, then changed her expression and said, "What do you mean, Mr. Qin? Are you going to let me escort the Marquis back to the capital?"

"General Qiao, if you are not the escort, is there anyone else more suitable than you?" Fan Yang frowned and said, "The Marquis led the troops to the south of the Yangtze River this time. Wasn't it General Qiao who led the troops to follow him? Now that the Marquis has been killed, escort the Marquis back.

Of course, Mr. Hou will be responsible for the burden of Beijing."

"No." Qiao Ruixin flatly refused: "The Shence Army is stationed in Hangzhou to prevent the chaos from causing trouble. At this time, I must not leave my post without authorization."

"General Qiao is wrong." Qin Xiao shook his head and said: "After Mr. Hou came to Hangzhou, he arrested a large number of rebels with lightning speed, which has disrupted the rebels' plan. Even if there are still some

The desire to rebel could not stir up any trouble. In addition, the princess mobilized loyal troops and soldiers and horses from the Hangzhou Battalion, plus the garrison in the city, which was enough to maintain order in Hangzhou and ensure that the rebellious parties could not cause trouble in Hangzhou. Guard Hangzhou.

You can leave the task to us, General Qiao only needs to escort the Marquis back to Beijing."

Qiao Ruixin sneered and said, "I will never transfer a single soldier unless I receive the order to withdraw."

"If General Qiao really insists, we will not force him." Qin Xiao said slowly: "But we still have to say ugly things first. Today we gathered together to discuss sending the Marquis back to Kyoto, and we also decided to escort him.

Candidate... Governor, Zhao Biejia, do you all agree that General Qiao will escort the coffin of the Marquis?"

"General Qiao is naturally the most suitable candidate." Fan Yang nodded and said, "General Qiao will do his part to escort the marquis' coffin back to the capital."

Zhao Qing also followed: "I'm sorry to say it bluntly. After the Shence Army entered the city, although they acted vigorously and resolutely, due to their careless investigation, a large number of unjust, false and wrongful cases were caused. Fortunately, Qin Shaoqing and Fei Sicheng turned things around and did not unjustly accuse good people. General Qiao

, what your Shence Army did in Hangzhou has aroused public resentment. If you continue to stay in Hangzhou, it will only make people panic. The situation in Hangzhou is relatively stable at the moment. If the Shence Army withdraws, everyone will feel that the imperial court has been wiped out.

The chaotic party will actually become more stable, so if you withdraw at this time, it will be beneficial to Hangzhou."

Qiao Ruixin clenched his fists and wanted to argue. Qin Xiao didn't wait for him to speak and already said: "General Qiao, you heard it too. Everyone agreed that you should be responsible for escorting. You can refuse, but the body of the Marquis will be damaged in the future.

, or the failure to send him back to Kyoto in time caused difficulties in handling the case, and the saint and the prime minister blamed it. Don’t say that we didn’t think about sending the Marquis back to Kyoto.” He sighed and said, “We have already sent people to Kyoto to report.

, after the Prime Minister knew about this, he was very sad and wanted to see the Marquis for the last time. If General Qiao insists on delaying it any longer, there is nothing we can do."

Fan Yang also sighed softly: "We are very affectionate, and the Prime Minister naturally hopes to see the Marquis as soon as possible. However, we are not qualified to dispatch the Shence Army, let alone force General Qiao. Where to go, General Qiao will make his own decision." Looking at Qiao Ruixin.

, said earnestly: "General Qiao, the Hou Ye's body is in Sanhe Building, and it is protected by your people. From now on, we will not disturb the Hou Ye again, so how to place the Hou Ye's body, everything is completely
