Imperial City Investigative Department

Chapter 329 Fake? (one more)
After lunch, Shang Gong began to pace the back hall. He had already learned from the yamen servant what he had gained from the night last night, and he also interrogated the three people who were captured in the morning. All three people were injured by Wu Chen's strength. , although no wounds were seen, but the injuries were not serious. No matter how Shang Gong asked, the three of them did not open their mouths. Shang Gong wanted to use torture but was afraid that the three of them would die. .

After noon, Senior Two and Xu Da arrived first, followed by Wu Chen and Song Gu.

When several people gathered together, Shang Gong didn't have any extra greetings, and asked directly:

"Just looking at the statements of the three daughter-in-laws of the Liu family, it seems that the death of the Liu family has something to do with their ancestral home, but generally the family must know where the ancestral home is, and there will be guards from the clan. Even if it is far away, they will choose it in the year During the festival, I tried my best to go back to sacrifice, but the brothers of the Liu family don’t know where the ancestral house is? It doesn’t make sense! Could it be that they have never been back since they were young?”

Song Gu said: "The Liu family not only has the ancestral house, but also the money left by the ancestors. It is said that they can live comfortably without working for several lifetimes, but the brothers of the Liu family don't know where the money is put. Mother's father knows."

Gao Eryi waved his hand and said, "I think it's all Yingniang's father said to trick his son."

"It's easy to find out. We just ask someone to find out if the monthly expenses of the brothers from the Liu family matched the income of the inn," Wu Chen said.

Shang Gong hurriedly said:

"I've checked this matter, and it's really not right. Only the Liu family man can sometimes spend the entire month's income of the inn in one day. At that time, I thought Liu family man was helped by Hao Kui. Looking at it now, the Liu family does have money."

Wu Chen raised his eyebrows and said:
"If that's the case, it means that old man Liu knew where to get the money and how to get the money. Before he could tell his sons, he died of illness suddenly. Look at the brothers of the Liu family who found the ancestral house and died of illness one after another. , but I haven’t heard how long they have been away from the capital, so it can be seen that the so-called ancestral home is not far from the capital.”

Song Gu leaned forward and said, "I don't understand a little bit. Since even women and children are not spared, why should these relatives be spared? This matter sounds like a concealment of the Liu family's ancestral house. My daughter-in-law has heard about it..."

"These three daughters-in-law should have mentioned it not only when they went back to their natal family, but also with neighbors or acquaintances around them. They wanted to kill them all, and completely silence them. I'm afraid they won't be able to kill them all. It's better to start with the government, no It’s enough to investigate, and there is nowhere to investigate after a long time. Who would have thought that the government would still be thinking about this case after ten years? And no one would have thought that there would be me in ten years.”

Shang Gong keenly grasped the words 'start with the government', and said with a frown: "It seems that the Yang Fu Yin back then must have participated in this case!"

The second year of high school said: "Isn't this matter decided long ago? The Liu family and the Hao family can deal with the government together? Back then, the investigation of the case was also evasive, and there was nothing useful in the confession in the file..."

Wu Chen waved his hand and said, "Shangfu Yin just doesn't want to believe it."

Shang Gong nodded unconsciously.

Xu was puzzled:

"Since they had the time to dig up the bones of the Liu family, did they also have the time to kill the three relatives? Now it may not be easy to find people who knew the Liu family's daughter-in-law back then, but their natal family members are still alive. "

"It's not that they don't want to kill them, but that they haven't had time to kill them. The three people I caught last night had sharp knives. I think they may also have the task of killing people besides surveillance. Does this also mean that they poached Liu? The corpses of the family members, I just guessed that the officials will order me to investigate this old case, but I am not sure, and I am still waiting and watching?"

"Who can guess what the officials think?" Song Gu asked.

The Queen Mother's strange figure flashed in Wu Chen's mind, and said: "First, I know the official very well. I discussed this case with the official ten years ago, and I know what the official thinks about this case. Second, I heard the official recently. It was mentioned."

"People in the palace?" Shang Gong said in surprise: "How can this case be involved with people in the palace?"

"Let's take a look." Wu Chen cleared his throat: "Who can bribe the governor of Kyoto, not just the first term? Who can control Liu and Hao's family? These two are considered rich, who can order them? Who can know Hao Kui? Bigamy? Can this kind of thing be concealed? Hao Kui is away on business, and there must be servants, maids, and other servants around him. How could Zou, the head of the house, not arrange for her own people? This matter is hidden Don’t stop! The law should have punishment, right?”

Shang Gong nodded and said: "If you have a wife, you will marry a staff of forty, and you will be exiled for a year."

"Since we can't hide it, why did Hao Kui take risks and find out that the matchmaker is marrying Yingniang? I really like it, and at least it doesn't involve the law to give more money to support a concubine. Besides, why is he so obsessed with Yingniang? He is so obsessed with Yingniang. How far is it? Hao Kui’s family has a house in Beijing, so there is no need to stay in an inn, the only intersection between the Liu family and the Hao family is the relationship with the government.”

"Intersection point?" Song Gu asked: "You mean that the Liu family and the Hao family can be related, only the government office?"

Wu Chen thought for a while and explained:
"Let me put it this way, the Liu family and the Hao family are both businessmen, and they both do business in the capital. If they want to go smoothly, they have to walk with the government office. The government office knows the two families at the same time. Was he arrested when he came back to intercede? However, Zou may not be Zou, and Hao Kui may not be Hao Kui. People who knew each other at that time are all dead now. Before Shangfu Yin took office, Zou and Hao Kui Kui also died in prison..."

Before Wu Chen finished speaking, Shang Gong stood up and walked to the door to give some instructions to the yamen servants outside. After not moving for a while, Zhou Da and Lu San arrived.

"Do you know Hao Kui?" Shang Gong asked directly when the two came in.

Zhou Da and Lu San were stunned for a moment, Zhou Daxian said: "I didn't know each other before, but I met him twice in prison after being arrested."

Lu San also said:

"The two of us were on errands for a short time at that time. I heard that Hao Kui often walked around with Yang Fuyin, so how could he have contact with us? On the contrary, the brothers of the Liu family may not be able to climb up to Yang Fuyin, so they are very familiar with us. .”

"The Liu family must know Hao Kui. After Hao Kui was arrested, did they arrange for the Liu family to identify him?" Shang Gong asked.

"The two of them belong to the same group. Even if the Liu family knew it was fake, they wouldn't say it." Said the sophomore.

Wu Chen asked: "Will the Minister of the Yang family be promoted to ask the case?"

The two shook their heads together, and Zhou Da said, "I've been investigating, but I haven't tried it in court."

Shang Gong waved his hand, and the two retreated.

Wu Chen said with a sullen face: "Yang Fu Yin back then, with one sentence about the case being weird, blocked many people's inquiries and caused the case to be delayed again and again."
