Jiapingguan Chronicle

Chapter 484

The murder case was discovered, and Song Jue's food journey came to an end before it even started.

Not to mention other people, even Song Jue himself admired his luck very much. If he walks well on the road, he can encounter a murder case, which is absolutely impossible for ordinary people.He introspected deeply, and thought that there seemed to be some reason for the civil and military officials of the Manchu Dynasty to always stop him and not let him go out for a stroll.In his memory, it seems that no experience of going out of the palace was ordinary, as if one thing or another, accident or something would always happen.

"This..." Song Jue touched his nose, and looked at Bai Meng with some embarrassment, "Is it my problem?"

"Probably." Bai Meng rolled her eyes, "At least when Jinyu and I were here, we never encountered such a thing."

"Come on, what happened to you is still small? It's a sensation in the court!" Song Jue snorted twice, "But it's okay, if it wasn't for me, the murderer would have succeeded, and now he is not arrested. It's right!"

"Before you know the situation, you think the coachman is the murderer?"

"Little Baizi!" Song Jue pointed to his eyes, "Don't forget that my eyes are not ordinary!"

"Okay, as long as you're happy!" Bai Meng pulled him to Shen Cha's side, "What did I say? Going out with him is not a worry-free job!"

"What the Commander said is true!" Shen Cha nodded, seeing the sadness on Song Jue's face, although it was very funny, but the occasion was wrong, so he held back.

The soldiers of the Shen family army who were patrolling near this street received the news very quickly, rushed over immediately and took control of the scene.

The leader of the team was a school lieutenant surnamed Zheng under Shen Jiu. He always acted swiftly and resolutely. He tied up the carriage driver himself, escorted him to Shen Cha and knelt down before bowing to everyone.

"General, is this person going to be handed over to the Marquis and the military adviser, or are you going to interrogate him yourself?" Zheng Xiaowei pointed to Jin Miaomiao who was undergoing an autopsy, and said, "Doctor Jin confirmed that the cause of death was poisoning, but the specific poison needs to be determined in detail. However, arsenic can be ruled out. The time of death cannot be determined because the body was buried in the snow and the body was frozen. Only further inspections can be confirmed.”

"The corpse is in charge of Dr. Jin. You ask her where the corpse is to be placed, send someone to send it back, and tell Lord Hou about it by the way."

"Yes!"

Merlin borrowed a few chairs and a table from a shop on the street, and asked Jin Miaomiao for a pot of hot water in case she washed her hands after the autopsy.

"Little Chacha!" Song Jue squeezed Bai Meng away, sat directly beside Shen Cha, and whispered, "How about I be your master once?"

"..." Seeing Song Jue eager to try, Shen Cha sighed heavily, "Okay, you don't need to do anything else, just take care of the records."

"That's no problem." Song Jue arranged the paper and pen, looked at the carriage driver kneeling in front of him, "This man seems to be honest."

"You can't judge by appearance. If you look honest, you may not be honest." Bai Meng coughed twice, "I also looked at the three corpses just now, it seems... they are a family?" He looked at Jin Miaomiao, " Am I right?"

"The commander-in-chief is right. Judging from the appearance, we are indeed a family." Jin Miaomiao nodded, "But this is not absolute, there are exceptions, but they are very rare. Another point, I need Correct you." She sighed softly, raised her head and glanced at the carriage driver who was listening to them, "These are not three corpses, but four."

The driver of the carriage didn't react at all, but when he heard Jin Miaomiao's words, he began to struggle violently, and four soldiers stepped forward to hold him down.

"Yo, the reaction is so big? One dead body and two lives, this attack is ruthless." Song Jue rubbed his chin, blinked his eyes, "It's interesting."

"What's the point of this?" Bai Meng snorted, "What did you think of?"

"Probably a family tragedy!" Song Jue raised his eyebrows, tilted his head and looked at Bai Meng, "Such cases are rare in Xijing, right?"

"That's right, we won't meet each other for a few years." Bai Meng nodded, "This kind of serious case will be reported directly to the governor of Jingzhao Prefecture, and will not go through the cabinet. If you haven't seen it, it means that there is really no one. And , before you see it, it should have spread throughout Xijing!"

Colonel Zheng stood not far away, and hearing the chats of these people, he felt that the young man sitting next to General Shen was not like an ordinary guard. generally.However, what he was thinking about was some idle prince, county king, or other clan relatives in Xijing playing in disguise. He never thought that their respected Emperor His Majesty would appear here in such a dignified manner.

"Let's have a trial first!" Song Jue's expression was very serious, "There are still so many people watching, no matter how much inside information there is, we have to go through it."

Although the weather was very cold, there were still a lot of people onlookers. It had been a long time since there had been such a murder case in Jiaping Guancheng, even when life was most difficult, such incidents rarely happened.In the hearts of the people at the border, the murder case has always been linked to the spies of foreigners.Therefore, when looking at the carriage driver, he was full of doubts.

"General Shen, I know this guy!" A medium-sized, slightly fat man squeezed out from the crowd, "This guy's name is Jia Liu, he usually makes a living pulling carts, and lives behind this street. The younger ones knew the three who died, the younger one was his wife, and the older ones were his father-in-law and mother-in-law."

Shen Cha took a look at Ying Ba, Ying Ba brought this man in front of the crowd, and made him kneel side by side with the coachman named Jia Liu.

"What's your name? What do you do for a living?" Zheng Xiaowei stood beside him and said, "How did you know Jia Liu?"

"In the case of Mr. Hui Jun, the small one is called Liang Qingshan, and he opened a small tailor shop on this street." Liang Qingshan pointed to the left, "That's the small shop. The small one has known Jia Liu for more than three years. Now, when you need to buy goods, you will ask him to help you get goods." He looked at Jia Liu who was silent next to him, and sighed heavily, "General, forgive me for being blunt, those three people... deserve death!"

"Brother Liang, stop talking!" Jia Liu hoarse, stopped Liang Qingshan from continuing, and raised his head to look at Shen Cha, "General, the villain is the murderer, the villain admits, the villain killed the person!"

Shen Cha had already sent someone to investigate Jia Liu's situation, and also sent someone to check on his home, but he ignored Jia Liu, and his eyes fell on Liang Qingshan.

Before she could ask, she heard hurried footsteps not far away. She looked over and found that not only Xue Ruitian came over in person, but also her elder brother.

"Yo, it's quite complete!" Song Jue raised his eyebrows, leaned into Shen Cha's ear and whispered, "Do I want to make room for them?"

"Don't dare, please sit still."

Shen Cha asked Mei Lin to go and borrow two chairs, asked Shen Haolin and Xue Ruitian to sit down, and briefly explained the general situation.

"So, is there something hidden?" Xue Ruitian didn't sit down, walked up to Jia Liu at a leisurely pace, turned around twice, and then looked at Liang Qingshan who was kneeling beside him, "Isn't this shopkeeper Liang?" ? Long time no see, business is still booming?"

"Thanks to Lord Hou, it's not bad." Liang Qingshan kowtowed to Xue Ruitian, "Master Hou, this villain's brother, he really had no other way out, so he did this stupid thing. Lord Hou, what's the matter?" Please, the Duke of the State and the general, listen to the villain and explain a few words for this brother."

"This is no problem, but you have to make sure that everything you say is true, without any falsehood."

"The villain promises that if you tell a lie, you can treat the villain as an accomplice of the six Jia brothers."

"Okay, these words sound very sincere." Xue Ruitian glanced at Jia Liu who was about to speak, "Either shut up, or say it yourself!"

"Small... villain..."

"Okay, shut up!" Xue Ruitian looked at Liang Qingshan, "Say it!"

"Yes, Lord Hou!" Liang Qingshan cleared his throat, "Actually, my brother is the real victim, he was cheated by that family of three!"
