Chapter 303 The Murder of Hu Qian ([-]) One More

"Captain Qin thinks that Tang Li is afraid of leaving Lishan County. It will be inconvenient for him to get news from the county government. What is it difficult for them to respond in time?" Lin Zhidong asked.

"The whole problem is that Hu Qian shouldn't have died in Lishan County. This is very passive for them. However, they dare to use their followers so openly. It can be seen that they have nothing to fear. Just like I said just now, I want to understand It is easy to murder someone, but hard to come up with real evidence! But, for Tang Lisheng, he is naturally worried that we will find out the truth, and he should be anxiously waiting for me to interrogate my followers..."

"Let me just say that you don't speak human words when your mind is excited! Sometimes you feel confident, and sometimes you worry about finding out the truth. Tang Lisheng thinks according to day and night?"

"When did I say that Tang Lisheng is the only person behind the scenes? How dare he play such a big game of chess by himself?"

After Qin Wubing finished speaking, everyone in the room fell silent, Lin Huai and Guo Yi were startled, Feng Ming frowned, but Guo Zheng and Lin Zhidong sighed secretly.

The two of them have been officials for many years, how could they not understand the twists and turns, what is the point of a censor wanting to target the eldest princess?Are you really venting your anger for your father-in-law?But in the way of killing his father-in-law?nonsense!
If Tang Lisheng really did it, there must be someone behind him, who would want to get rid of the eldest princess?It must be a person who is similar to the eldest princess. Guo Zheng and Lin Zhidong had already thought of this.

"My lords, there is no need to be troubled. We just need to find out the case in a down-to-earth manner. The rest of the matter has nothing to do with us."

"It's so easy for you to say, someone wants to plot against your wife, I don't believe you don't want to deal with him!" Lin Huai muttered.

Qin Wubing scratched his forehead, he really wanted to kick Lin Huai back to the capital and let Marquis Wu Ding take care of him!

But Guo Yi asked: "Third brother, I can understand what the entourage did, and I can also understand that Mr. Hu was poisoned a few days ago, but I don't know why it must be Tang Lisheng, and the entourage can also be bought by other members of the Hu family." .”

Qin Wubing pondered for a moment before saying:

"That's why it's called an inference. It's a conclusion that meets all the current conditions. Do you still remember what you said about Tang Guazi?"

Guo Yi nodded.

"My son has this bad habit. As a father, he not only doesn't strictly discipline him, but also uses his status to help the evildoers. Why? Because he is the same kind of person as his son, and he thinks it belongs to him, so he tries his best to become his. Tang Lisheng regards this kind of greed as a kind of ability. There is no distinction between right and wrong, good and evil in his bones. Come back! But, if the thing that moved him was a tiger, and his Shiba Inu couldn't bite him, what would he do?"

Qin Wubing glanced at Guo Yi, and said again:

"It's in terms of personality. Let's look at this case again, Feng Ming! How many people did Hu Qian follow and guard when he was in Xining?"

"78 people!" Feng Ming replied.

"But how many followers are there in the cell now?"

"18 people!" Guo Zheng replied.

"Where are the others?" Qin Wubing asked: "If Hu Qian doesn't have Hu Qian's consent, it's so easy to change the entourage of a dignified first-rank official? Besides his own family, who else can make Hu Qian willingly replace all the entourages? "

Guo Yi snorted, and asked, "Have you suspected him for a long time?"

Qin Wubing laughed and said:

"Let's talk about the situation of Hu Qian's family. His son and son-in-law are all officials in the capital. His governor's mansion is in Xiqingcheng. Before the war, he was called to Beijing. He must have brought people from his own mansion in Xiqingcheng, but he just arrived in the capital. At this time, when the son and son-in-law show their filial piety, it is not surprising to send some more escorts, but at that time, no one knew that Hu Qian and I would fight! "

"This time I came to Lishan County to pick up the coffin. Hu Qian's eldest son did not come. I heard that he was working in the Ministry of Rites. The eldest son-in-law also did not come. I heard that he was working in Taichang Temple. The son who came was a scholar of the Imperial Academy. , and Tang Lisheng, who served as the censor, who of these people has a more developed career? How many people who have read poetry and books in this world would use patricide to pave their way for their official career? Think about Tang Lisheng's character..."

"After Hu Qian vomited blood from me, he would naturally make preparations. He would write a note to the emperor, and the villain would sue first, and he would write to his sons and sons-in-law in the capital to order them to spread rumors about me... He won't write to everyone, he will definitely find me. The second son Hu Wenyong, who has a similar smell, I think it is impossible for Hu Qian to write him a letter. Hu Qian wants to arrange it before I wake up, or before my people send the message. The speed of sending the letter must be extremely fast , From the time point of view, this person has enough time to arrange everything after receiving the assignment from the person behind the scenes."

"I can only say that Tang Lisheng is the only one who meets the points just now, but I have no real evidence. I put forward my own ideas tactfully, and the two adults are not surprised. If I expect it to be true, this Tang Yushi's Is the position of imperial censor in jeopardy?"

After Qin Wubing finished speaking, he looked at Guo Zheng and Lin Zhidong.

Guo Zheng and Lin Zhidong glanced at each other, and Guo Zhengcai said, "It's not been three years since Tang Lisheng was promoted to Zuoqian Capital Censor of the Metropolitan Procuratorate."

Qin Wubing raised his eyebrows: "Oh, he took office during the reign of the late emperor."

Guo Zheng nodded and continued:

"Tang Lisheng's father also worked in the Metropolitan Procuratorate, but he was only a ninth-rank inspector. Later, he said that he was seriously ill and retired early. Although this ninth-rank inspector had no achievements in his official career, he Helped my son find a useful adoptive father, Qixi, the chief eunuch beside the late emperor."

Qin Wubing had just taken a sip of tea, but now he choked and coughed several times, and as soon as he stopped coughing, he asked, "Is there still an eunuch called Pepsi?"

Lin Huai hurriedly asked: "Didn't you never go out of Jinghai? Do you know the name of the eunuch in the palace? Did the eldest princess tell you?"

"There really is a eunuch named Pepsi?" Qin Wubing was startled. If it was true, the late emperor must be from the same town!
"I've never heard of it!" Lin Huai shook his head, and then said, "But I've heard of Qixi. In terms of age, it's reasonable for Tang Lisheng's father to recognize Qixi as his adoptive father. Tang Lisheng recognized Qixi as his father. This is a piece of good meat, so I have to keep it for my son? Appointing an eunuch as a foster father, the two of them are not afraid of losing the face of their ancestors!"

Guo Yi interjected: "I really haven't heard of this. Didn't Qixi go to guard the tomb of the first emperor? I heard that she died last year."

Lin Zhidong chuckled and said:

"It's not easy for them to preach this kind of thing everywhere with drums and gongs. We only found out by chance. It would be shameful to come to the Tang family, but Mr. Hu may not be ashamed, otherwise he would not have sent his daughter Low marriage, Tang Lisheng at that time was just a ninth-rank sesame official."

Guo Yi snorted coldly and said: "This is Hu Qian's vision, thinking that this son is 'a rare commodity to live in'!"
