Daxuannv's sentence

Chapter 51 The Missing Woman

"What!?" The news came at such an inopportune time, Zhu You's face was extremely ugly, and he turned his head and said, "What about the good news?"

Ye Ke was silent for a moment and said: "The good news is that the emperor will spare no effort to let the Criminal Division go all out to solve this case."

I thought that Yunqi was foolproof, but it was precisely the most foolproof place, and Ye Ke lost his foot. Only then did Ye Ke realize that this case was far from being as simple as it appeared on the surface. Responsible for defending the imperial city and guarding the capital, since the opponent dares to attack Yunqi, it also means that the opponent's courage is almost overwhelming.

At the same time, it also deepened the suspicion of Qi Zhengyang, Shangshu of the Ministry of punishment. How many people in this Daxuan dare to attack the imperial army?
The clue here was broken, and the two ate two baskets of steamed stuffed buns and a large bowl of rice porridge with a heavy heart, waiting for the imperial decree, but instead of waiting for the imperial decree, they waited for Yunmeng, who was limping Come here, judging by his appearance, Ye Ke probably took no less than twenty blows from the board.

"The emperor noticed the purpose of those six cloud knights who asked for leave, and they beat me twenty boards, and they have to solve the case as soon as possible, hiss!!!"

Ye Ke looked at Yunmeng lying on the bench, taking deep breaths and exhaling shallowly, it was fun, but she didn't expect to suffer so many boards, when she repeatedly asked Zhu You that the board was the one in the lobby. When the water and fire stick was as thick as an arm, he immediately saluted Yunmeng and praised the strong man.

"Stop teasing me, you guys are the ones who caused this problem, solve the case quickly, the emperor said, let me find someone to solve the case by myself, otherwise, labor and management will become eunuchs, and the murderer is found, first Time tells me, the blood debt of my six brothers must be paid back by me myself!"

In order to keep the man who was the commander of Yunmengdu, Zhu You issued a military order and sent someone to hire a carriage to take him back to the mansion.

Afterwards, Ye Ke and Zhu You rode out of the city together, thinking that the yamen servants had come to report, and they seemed to have discovered the location where Yunqi was attacked, which was next to an official road about twenty miles away from the west city gate.

There are not many pedestrians on the official road in the west of the city. In order to get to the scene as soon as possible, the two did not have much scruples. On the edge of the stream, it is called Anxi.

This place has been blocked by the yamen servants. The two dismounted from the official road, walked down the side slope to the bottom of the slope, and walked down a short distance to the stream, which was shaded by green trees beside Anxi. The grass by the river was as tall as a person. If someone hadn't come, it would be difficult to find out what happened here.

In the place surrounded by the yamen servants, six corpses were lying down. They were dressed in ordinary clothes and held swords, lying on their stomachs or their backs. They fell on the river beach. There were messy horseshoe marks in the mud on the river beach. After confirmation, It was Yunqi's six imperial guards.

Ye Ke took out his gloves and started the autopsy.

"Examination! The deceased's mouth and eyes were closed, his nails were black, his abdomen and back had sores, black blood flowed out from the corner of his mouth, and he had already appeared rigor. According to the degree of death, the death time was six hours ago. He died of poisoning. Forget about m's lines, it's poison from arsenic."

Zhu You took a close look at the autopsy and frowned, "Something is wrong. Why did they come to this river beach? And why did they get poisoned?"

At this time, a head catcher said: "My lord, isn't this simple? They must have wanted to drink water here, but the water was poisoned by someone, and the humble officer just used a silver needle from their water bottle to test it. , and found that it has turned black." Then he presented a silver needle that had already turned black.

"Get water?" Zhu You frowned while pinching the silver needle, then turned to look at Ye Ke who was staring at the mud and asked, "Master Ye, what do you think?"

Ye Ke, who turned into Yuan Fang, rolled his eyes and said, "No!"

"Why?"

"Although their water is poisonous, they shouldn't be here. It's only twenty miles away from the capital. If it was me, I must rush back to the capital and return to my command. Wouldn't it be better to go to that restaurant to have a good drink? Moreover, this time Ci Yunmeng gave them an order to come back as soon as possible."

"In your opinion?"

"They were driven to this river beach, or they were forced to flee here!"

Ye Ke lowered his head and pulled Zhu You to the reverse slope, and asked the servant to push away the water plants, so that he could clearly see all the footprints and horseshoe prints. Immediately, Ye Ke pointed to those footprints and said.

"Look, my lord, these footprints are obviously rushing towards the river beach, and there are also traces of fighting on the official road, indicating that they were ambushed and had no choice but to flee to the river beach. As a result, the six people I didn’t know that I had been poisoned, so I died on the river beach.”

Zhu You glanced at it, nodded, but asked, "Then why did they flee to the river beach? Riding a horse to the river beach is an extremely stupid behavior. As Yunqi, it is impossible for them not to know this."

It is true that the horse is burdened on the muddy river beach, and if the horse's hooves are deep, it will make itself fall into danger.

Ye Ke didn't want to understand this either, she stared blankly at those footprints in a daze, then she turned her eyes to the pair of footprints closest to the water surface and asked suddenly: "My lord, what is the purpose of Yunqi's trip to Qingyuan County?" ?”

"Of course I'm going to investigate the relationship between Xiangyun and Cui Zhiye!" Zhu You was taken aback after speaking, and suddenly said: "Come on! Search the surroundings quickly and search carefully to see if there is any package. Objects like Zong!"

The yamen servants were ordered to rummage around, but at this time, Ye Ke came to the river bank again, checked the pair of footprints he had seen earlier, and then turned to Zhu You and said, "My lord, tell me, is it possible? Qi didn't bring back the dossier, but brought back a person?" Then, she pointed to the pair of footprints.

"These footprints, judging from their depth and size, are obviously a pair of women's feet. The toes are facing the river. It is obvious that they have jumped into the river. All of them are men. Come to think of it, Yunqi rushed to the bank of the river. It should be found. I have been poisoned, unable to protect the woman, so I thought about getting out of the river to have a chance of life?"

Sure enough, after searching around, the yamen servants did not find any files and packages, so Zhu You immediately ordered all the yamen servants to go downstream along Anxi to find a woman who fell into the water, and they must find her as soon as possible.

There was still not enough manpower in the Criminal Division. Afterwards, Zhu You returned to the Criminal Division as soon as possible to sign the official document, ordering all the officials in Anxi County in the lower reaches of Anxi to assist in the search, and all Lizheng and village chiefs along the coast must report to the government. .

Zhu You and the officials of the yamen went out to find someone, but inside the yamen for punishment, Ye Ke stared at the file in a daze.

"Why were all the Yunqi who investigated Cui Zhiye killed, but the one who went to Xiangyun's room was Qi Zhengyang, Shangshu of the Ministry of Justice?"
