Dayong Nu sentenced to death

Once this idea appeared, it lingered in Su Rao's mind for a long time, she sat there uselessly, thought for a while, and went straight to Jingzhao Mansion.

The yamen servant saw the token and led her directly to the back yamen.

"Our lord is still arranging the search. Please have a cup of tea and sit down for a while."

"It's work."

Su Rao nodded slightly.

Seeing this, the yamen servant clasped his fists and retreated out. The hall was quiet, and she was the only one left.

While thinking about the case, she casually looked around, and within a short time, Gai Heng arrived.

He came striding forward with a smile on his face: "Why is the prison order so free to come to me today? When they came to report, I thought I heard something wrong!"

"Master Gai."

Su Rao stood up, and after the two bowed their hands in salute, they took their seats.

"I took the liberty to disturb you on a whim, and please forgive me, Mr. Gai."

"The supervisor's order is serious. Thank you for reminding me during the peach blossom banquet. Otherwise, Jingzhao Mansion has no direction to investigate the case so far."

Just listening to the inferences of his autopsy, Gai Heng knew that she was definitely not a person who wasted her name, and he still had a deep memory of that fight, so he knew that she was not easy to mess with.

Many enemies are not as good as many friends.

His attitude towards her has naturally improved a lot.

"It's a matter of little effort, Mr. Gai doesn't need to care about it."

After a few polite words with him, Su Rao cut straight to the point, "To be honest, I came here this time because I wanted to ask you something."

"You said."

Gai Heng smiled slightly, and said seriously.

"Such as the peach blossom banquet throwing away the corpse, has your lord encountered it before?"

As soon as she finished speaking, Gai Heng immediately shook his head: "No, this is the first time."

He stared at Su Rao, and said solemnly: "Shengjing is under the foot of the emperor, and the law and order have always been good. Occasionally, someone else will report a homicide. If the Jingzhao Mansion dispatches again, no one will dare to throw the corpse in front of your eyes. of."

Speaking of this, Gai Heng had a bitter expression on his face: "When the palace heard the news, they summoned me to reprimand me and order them to solve the case as soon as possible."

This result is the same as Su Rao's conjecture.

Her heart sank, and then she asked after deliberation: "Is there any trace found on the river bank?"

"No, the murderer was very cautious, as if he had deliberately cleared the route to remove the corpse."

Gai Heng lamented, and couldn't help but scolded this bastard who killed a thousand swords several times in his heart.

Su Rao gave him a slightly sympathetic look.

He coughed lightly.

"Actually, I have something else to do when I come here today..."

Gai Heng was immersed in his own imagination, and asked without thinking: "What's the matter?"

"Besides Xu Chen and Li Cheng, maybe... there are other dead..."

As soon as her words came out, Gai Heng instantly returned to reality, looked at her in disbelief, "You, say it again..."

In the past seven or eight days, two people died in a row, and he was already devastated.

Another one, isn't it going to kill him!

"Supervision order, you can't talk nonsense like this."

"I also accidentally discovered it during the investigation process."

Su Rao briefly explained about the disappearance of Taixue students and Zhou Ziling's resignation. Gai Heng swallowed hard, "The ones you sent me to post missing person notices?"

"He's not among them."

Su Rao said: "At the time, I thought he was Ci Xue, so I automatically ignored it. Later, I felt that something was wrong, and asked the Tai Xue servant to find his handwriting. After comparing it, I found that the Ci Xue letter was forged."

"In other words, Zhou Ziling may have been killed before NO.19?"

The Cixue letter was delivered that day.

Gai Heng suddenly found it tricky.

His intuition told him that what Su Rao said was right, Zhou Ziling must be in danger this week.

"The most coincidental thing is that besides Li Cheng, there is also a student named Du Yong who happened to live in the same room as Zhou Ziling among the missing students of Taixue."

Gai Heng: "..."

"Could it be that he also..."

"It's hard to say, I always feel that the death of these people has something to do with it."

But Su Rao has not been able to find the connection between them so far.

If I have to say, Li Cheng and Zhou Ziling, Du Yong are classmates, and Xu Chen is their former teacher...

classmate...

Su Rao's eyes narrowed slightly, yes, they are classmates.

"In the promotion exam, two excellent students, Shi Bei, the imperial scholar said that these people's grades are the best among the students..."

"The supervisor's order is talking about the examination for Neisha to be promoted to Shangshe?"

"Correct."

Su Rao nodded, and Gai Heng thought about it: "I have heard about this matter a little bit. One out of ten places in the Taixue is promoted every year. This one and only person can directly get the official pass without going through the imperial examination."

"The supervision order means to start the investigation from this aspect?"

he asked tentatively.

Su Rao said: "Currently, Zhou Ziling is no one alive, no corpse is dead, Du Yong is missing, Li Cheng died tragically, this is the only connection between the three..."

"What about Xu Chen? What does Xu Chen's death have to do with them?"

Gai Heng's head was as big as a bucket.

Originally, Xu Chen's case was thrown out in order to avoid trouble coming to him, but he did not expect that it was tied together in this way in the end.

"I haven't figured this out yet, let's check and see."

Maybe after the investigation, relevant clues will naturally surface.

Su Rao looked at the Jingzhao Fu Yin who was frowning deeply, and said in a low voice, "If there is any news from Mr. Gai, please send someone to let me know."

"it is good."

Gai Heng responded in one gulp.

Murder cases occurred repeatedly in major areas in Gyeonggi. The victims were all students, and the case was complicated. At this time, he didn't have the heart to weigh the pros and cons, or make any small moves.

Otherwise, he, the prefect of Jingzhao, would have done his best.

"In the future, we will have to rely more on supervision orders."

This is Gai Heng's sincere words.

It has only been a few days since the first murder case happened, but his mentality has changed drastically.

Sensing the kindness he showed, Su Rao smiled slightly, "Well, it's about taking care of each other."

The two looked at each other, tacitly omitting the "infighting" not long ago.

There are no permanent enemies in officialdom, especially since their interests do not conflict.

"By the way, the prison order, today is the emperor's birthday, and there is a banquet in the palace. When are you going to leave?"

Gai Heng asked enthusiastically, "At that time, I can introduce other colleagues to you, so that we can get acquainted with each other, and it will be more convenient for us to move around in various yamen in the future."

"Night banquet in the palace? I haven't received any news."

Su Rao was stunned for a moment, then smiled and said, "Maybe Gai has forgotten that I am still a supervisory order without rank, and all the people invited to the palace banquet are officials and their families on the fifth rank."

Only then did Gai Heng remember the rules, and smiled awkwardly, "It's fine if you don't go, it's clean, let's wait for a suitable opportunity later, anyway, with the ability of the supervision order, I believe it won't take long, and it will definitely rise to the top."

"Borrowing auspicious words from adults."

After finishing his speech, Gai Heng personally sent Su Rao out of Jingzhao Mansion. After watching her leave, he hurriedly turned his head back and began to investigate, and intensified the search...
