Poor family rebirth girl

Chapter 101 Unexpected (1)

The soldier kept his head hooked, not daring to look around at all.

After asking about his identity and name, Liu Yun cut to the chase: "When Xu Ming was killed, were you there?"

"The little one is on the same boat as Mr. Xu."

"At that time, how far was it from Xu Ming where you were standing?"

"The little one is standing opposite Mr. Xu."

"So, you also saw clearly how Xu Ming was killed?"

"...I can see clearly."

"Then tell me, where is Xu Ming injured?"

"On the neck, it was penetrated by a hidden weapon."

"Please explain the location of the wound carefully."

"At the throat."

"Does he have other injuries?"

"This..." the soldier hesitated, "The throat has been penetrated, this is already a fatal injury."

"I will ask you the question, and you should explain it truthfully," Liu Yun said in a calm, persuasive voice, "This question is to verify your identity and reality. You just have to think about it carefully and answer it honestly."

Hearing this, the soldier's heart trembled, and he only thought that whether his confession could be convincing depends on this time, so he frowned and thought hard, and carefully traced back the situation that night.

"Reporting to my lord, there seems to be only one hidden weapon. Master Xu fell into the water after being hit by the hidden weapon. The incident happened in a short time, and there are indeed no other wounds." The idea came out, "There is one place, maybe it can be regarded as an injury."

"You speak boldly."

"Before Mr. Xu fell into the water, he fell backwards on the ship's side. At that time, his throat was pierced by a hidden weapon, and he fell straight backwards. Therefore, the sound of the fall was very loud, and his back should have been injured."

There was a little smile in Liu Yun's eyes, but he stopped it immediately, rolled his eyes, and instructed the servants to bring Wu Zuo and Xu Ming to the lobby together.

When the white cloth-covered stretcher was brought in, there was a slight commotion in the crowd, and when Wu Zuo lifted the white cloth covering his face, there were gasps from both sides.

Under the white cloth, Xu Ming's pale face with his eyes closed, his lips slightly parted, revealing his thick yellow teeth, and everyone's eyes were involuntarily caught by a bloody hole the size of a copper coin on his elongated, stiff neck. catch.

The skin and flesh in the blood hole had already turned black, and the wound covered with black blood was soaked in water, and the surface swelled outward, and because the shore was dry and cold, the outer skin began to be pulled tightly again, so the flesh and blood looked like an open mouth, looking up to the sky. wide open.

At this moment, the attendant, who had never been far away from the kitchen, couldn't help but think of the chicken neck after being cut, bled, plucked, and washed.

Wu Zuo turned Xu Ming's body over again. After the autopsy, the clothes were not in order, and the top fell apart as soon as he took it off, revealing a dark, long and narrow line of blood on his back. It was obviously what the soldiers said, and Xu Ming fell on the side of the ship. The bruise left by the time of the accident.

Wu Zuo seemed to have been instructed, and after showing the wound quickly, he would immediately avoid it, so that the jurors on both sides could see it clearly.Counting that the time was almost up, Xu Ming was turned over again, still facing the roof, with a big mouth and a throat like a black hole, as if to shout, but there was no sound.

This is Xu Ming.

The legend of the subordinate officials in Huai'an Mansion.

Linqing Bo Cao Kaihe's right-hand man.

Although he is a subordinate who cannot be an official, his reputation in Huai'an mansion is often better than that of Huai'an magistrate.

However, such an inspirational model among the subordinate staff died like this.

The corpses are displayed above the hall, so there is no dignity at all.

Someone touched his neck involuntarily, someone looked away in horror, each had their own thoughts, but there was one thing that was roughly the same: Today, they were all reminded once again that this officialdom is dangerous, and there is a risk of sudden death worry.

Liu Yun's gaze flicked over everyone, especially Cao Kaihe's restrained expression. He clenched the gavel tightly, his knuckles turned white, and the veins on the back of his hand were bulging. Thinking of the past when he was suppressed by them, he couldn't help but move forward. Two jets of air came out of his nostrils, and he sneered unknowingly, feeling unspeakably happy in his heart.

"Can you see the murderer who shot Xu Ming?"

"No," the soldier was disturbed by the coldness of the corpses around him, and he shuddered when he heard the words, "The little one is about to go back to report the letter according to Master Xu's order, so he is facing the direction from which the hidden weapon came, and it is Master Xu who is talking Suddenly there was a strange sound, and the little one couldn't hear it clearly, so I went closer to listen, only to find that there was a wound on his neck."

Thinking of Xu Ming's mouth open, blood gushing from his throat, and the unbelievable frightened expression on his face, the soldier knelt silently and moved a few steps away.

Liu Ming watched coldly, and suddenly slapped the gavel, which shocked everyone in the hall with different thoughts, and the soldier was knee-soft and prostrate on the ground.

He didn't care, and asked in a deep voice: "You said Xu Ming ordered you to report back, who did you report to and what did you report?"

"Here, report to Lord Cao." The soldier crawled two steps forward, away from the dead man he wanted to expose, and replied: "He asked me to tell Lord: There must be a good thing about today's affairs, and the rest will be discussed later. "

"What is 'Today's Matter'?"

"Yes..." The soldier suddenly hesitated.

He didn't dare to look at people, but it didn't mean he didn't see people. Cao Kaihe was sitting in the hall, his gloomy gaze covered him, and the soldiers had already felt chills in their hearts.

"Snapped!"

Liu Yun played tricks on the gavel, always coming to interfere when people want to use their brains, he slapped the block hard, and shouted: "If you tell me, you can tell, the matter is over, don't you think so?" Will there still be a way out? Haven’t you done it honestly!”

That soldier's thoughts were led away by him, right? This person is already in the hall, and more than half of his testimony has been finished. Could it be that if he shuts up now, Cao Kaihe will be able to spare him?
He gritted his teeth, and his heart froze, and his words immediately sounded like pouring beans, "It's murder!"

The soldier straightened up, his brave appearance almost made people think that he was on the battlefield, fighting the enemy bravely, his voice was sonorous and powerful, shaking the beams, "We received an order when we boarded the ship, and we need to use search and rescue as a cover. , Be sure to kill a young man."

The answer was ready to come out, and no one dared to speak out at this time.

"Who is that person?"

"I didn't know the name at first, but I found out later that it is an adult surnamed Shen."

Liu Yun looked down the hall, and Cao Kaihe actually had a teacup by his hand!

Immediately, he moved the chair under his buttocks back, and the person sat forward, leaving enough space to dodge, and then he ordered the soldiers: "Take a look around, the person you are going to kill that night is in the hall? "

The gazes in the hall swished loudly, all focused on Shen Huai alone.

Shen Huai laughed inwardly, what Liu Yun did in this play is really a crowd-pleaser, according to the situation, even if it is not this soldier in the hall today, but an outsider who is not too stupid, he can still find the answer by following his line of sight, right?
Naturally, this soldier was not stupid to be sent back to report the letter, but when he raised his head, he accidentally met Cao Kaihe's gaze, his face turned ashen and his straight spine softened a bit, and he acted on the instinct of riding a tiger. , eyes closed and heart crossed, pointed at Shen Huai and said, "That's the one."

Shen Huai, the sufferer, stood where the eyes of the crowd were focused, his expression was calm, and he dealt with it calmly, like a celebrity.

This time, someone was even more outraged——

"Shen Hanlin is a handsome young man. From childhood, township examinations to general examinations, he ranked first all the way. He entered the palace examination at the age of 17 and was hand-picked second. How many people have been so talented since ancient times? It is me who encountered such a danger in my Huai'an mansion. What a shame, what a shame!"

Just as Qian Yushi was shooting the case, a small official stood up in the crowd, so excited, it was as if he saw a Wenqu star fall.

Qian Yushi was taken aback for a moment, and forgot what he said.

Shen Huai was also taken aback. In Huai'an City, there is such a misfit official?

Everyone was even more stunned, because after the soldier's finger had identified Shen Huai, he turned a few inches and stopped in Qian Yushi's direction.

"Master Xu said that if you don't do one thing, you will never stop. If you don't kill this lord, there will be endless troubles! But at that time, the situation was tense, the situation was critical, and the river was so dark that it was difficult to distinguish, so let me wait for the cheapest—— As long as this Lord Shen can be killed, the casualties of the rest of the people don't matter."

"The rest..." Qian Yushi twisted his neck slowly, staring at the dead man on the ground, his eyelids twitched, and out of the corner of his eye, he enfolded Uncle Lin Qing who was sitting still on the opposite side.

Thinking of the rain of hidden weapons that covered the sky and the sky that night, Liu Yun also felt his teeth itch, but his face was filled with anger, but he said in his mouth: "Do you know that what you said involves many court officials, including many high-ranking officials. ..."

"absurd!"

Cao Kaihe slapped the table, and Liu Yun, who had been guarding him all the time, leaned back slightly in shock, seeing that there was nothing coming to hit him, a small stone fell to the ground in his heart, and fixed his eyes to see Cao Kaihe's reaction.

Cao Kaihe looked very angry, his face was full of flesh and blood, full of murderous intent.

Thinking that with the presence of three generations of lords and leading Cao Jun's huge platoon, even though he was at odds with Qiu Nai, the scene was never ugly.

Unexpectedly, in a small punishment hall today, he was forced to a blind alley with sharp knives and soft knives. Although he is still sitting now, he has a headache because of the soldier's confession. There is already a suspicion of murdering the court official, "Where did you come from, a monster, you dare to talk nonsense here!"

After many years of training in the officialdom, Cao Kaihe already understood that the net that surrounded Caodu Qiu Naicheng today had a huge loophole, and there was absolutely no way to close it again.

Not only could it not be put away, but it was also bitten by the waves of the underwater cross current, pulling him down.

If the situation is allowed to develop again, I am afraid that the commander-in-chief of water transport will be replaced soon!

"Liu Yun, what is your intention today?"

Cao Kaihe took his hand away from the teacup, resisted the urge to throw the cup again, and angrily said: "First the yamen servants, then the soldiers, they all put the shit bowl on me, who taught you to do this?"

Yo, there is something in the words.

Everyone kept silent, shrunk their heads, and watched the good show in the hall without blinking.

"Master Cao, what's the matter with you?" Liu Yun's eyes widened in surprise, and he even blinked twice in a daze. There is no limit. Xu Ming's death is strange, especially since he has always been known as your right and left arm, if you don't investigate the case clearly this time, but instead close the case in a muddle, it will damage your reputation."

Cao Kaihe was about to spit out old blood, this bitch actually said a good joke, what is "again" and what's wrong?
"This soldier's confession is not credible!"

"Master Cao has evidence to provide?"

Liu Yun suddenly discovered the benefits of having a large number of people in a crowd—somehow, there was no crowd in the lobby that made Cao Kaihe respond to everyone in the past, but instead, he found the feeling of being at home.
