Tang Dynasty detective

Chapter 409
A corpse hook, as the name suggests, is a hook used to drag corpses.

This kind of hook is in the shape of a round moon barb. In addition to being used to drag the corpse, it can also be used to test the death of a person.

If it's a dead person, it's fine. A dead person doesn't feel pain.

But if it is a living person, it is unbearable to be dragged by this hook through the luteal bone.

In this way, real death and fake death can be known by one test.

"Damn, this group of people are too ruthless, they're all dead, and they're even checked with a corpse hook, they're nothing like fucking beasts!" Li Canghai was furious, slammed the table down, and cursed in a low voice.

Xiong Asi and the shopkeeper didn't expect Li Canghai to get angry suddenly, and they were startled.

Li Canghai sorted out his mood, and said calmly, "Go ahead."

Xiong Asi nodded, and said: "I buried those corpses on the spot, but when I was moving the corpses, I found some movement under the corpses. I thought the corpses were fraudulent, so I sat down in fright. It was on the ground. When I calmed down and checked carefully, I found a child covered in blood under the corpse."

Xiong Asi closed his eyes, thought about it for a while, and couldn't bear to say: "The child was hiding under the corpse. He was already dying, but miraculously he didn't die."

"Brother Xiong, you said that the child lay under the dead body for three days, but he didn't die? This...is it impossible? Haven't all the dead bodies been checked? Could it be that the assailant didn't find out?" asked in surprise.

Xiong Asi sighed, and said: "The child was protected by Mrs. Qin and a group of servants desperately, and was not killed, but there was a wound on his shoulder that was dragged by the corpse hook. I don't know how he survived. Yes, actually hid under the corpse for three days."

"Could it be that the child didn't utter the slightest cry under the drag of the corpse hook?" The shopkeeper was a little unbelievable, and he exclaimed in disbelief.

Xiong Asi nodded, a hint of admiration appeared in his eyes.

Li Canghai rubbed his chin and said approvingly, "At such a young age, he was able to hold back the painful pain, and hid in the pile of dead bodies for three days without being discovered. He really deserves to be the son of a great general!"

After a few compliments, Li Canghai asked, "Where did that child go after that?"

"I knew that the child was the orphan of General Qin, so I took him home secretly and asked a doctor to treat him. In order to deal with the government, I set up an extra empty grave, but then I thought that there would be no one in the short term. I found a clue, if someone finds out later, it may expose the child's identity. So I tried every means to destroy the household register." Xiong Asi paused, looked at Li Canghai with admiration, and said: "As for The process is exactly as the adults said, not bad at all."

"As for that child..." Xiong Asi shook his head and sighed: "After I rescued that child and returned home, his body was seriously injured. In addition, he was infected with corpse gas and became seriously ill. I hired many doctors, but they couldn't be cured. He. Later, a strange man came, and the man said he could be cured, but there was a premise that he had to be taken away."

"You promised that man?" Li Canghai asked.

Xiong Asi looked sad, and said: "My lord, there is nothing the Caomin can do! The child is already terminally ill. Although the Caomin doesn't trust him, he can only be treated as a living doctor. After all, he is the orphan of General Qin. No matter what, Caomin also hopes that he can survive!"

Li Canghai nodded, Xiong Asin is a loyal man, and what he did was just to repay Qin Fu's kindness, which is understandable.

"What happened next? Have you seen Qin Fu's son again?" Li Canghai asked.

Xiong Asi shook his head and said: "No, since then, Caomin has never seen that child again. Sometimes, Caomin wonders if the child is dead. If I hadn't handed him over to that man back then, Could it be another result?"

Seeing that Xiong Asi was full of self-blame, Li Canghai said: "You have done enough, and General Qin will feel relieved if he is alive in heaven." After a pause, he asked: "You Do you remember what that man looked like?"

"He took away the son of General Qin, and the grassroots will never dare to forget him for the rest of his life. The man is more than six feet tall, and there is a cross scar on the right side of his face. From what the grassroots saw, he should have been injured by a sharp knife." Xiong Asi Said.

"So, is that a person from the quack?" Li Canghai asked.

Xiong Asi thought about it for a while, then shook his head and said: "According to Caomin's opinion, he should not be a martial artist, but he has a military aura about him."

"A member of the army? Are you sure?" Li Canghai asked with a frown.

"This... Caomin can't be sure, it's just how he feels to Caomin." Xiong Asi scratched his head and said.

Li Canghai frowned in thought, tapped slowly on the table with his right hand, and after a while, he asked, "Did he reveal his name to you? Or his whereabouts?"

Xiong Asi was stunned for a moment, and said, "That man didn't tell me his name."

"If you think about it carefully, did he really not reveal any information about him?" Li Canghai asked.

Xiong Asi lowered his head and thought carefully for a while, then suddenly he patted his head and said: "He mentioned 'Dongying', but I don't know if he went there."

"Dongying?" Li Canghai frowned, "Are you sure you remember correctly?"

Xiong Asi shook his head, and said firmly: "The grass people will not remember wrongly. I heard that 'Dongying' is a blessed land of immortal mountains, and there are gods living in it. If they can be cured by the gods, the son of General Qin will definitely recover. The memory of the word is very clear."

Li Canghai rubbed his nose. The Dongying Xiong Asi mentioned was the legendary overseas fairy mountain, but it was also synonymous with Fusang Kingdom.

"In this way, it's over." Li Canghai narrowed his eyes, seeming to be more sure of what he was thinking.

"My lord, why do you ask about this old matter?" Xiong Asi asked in puzzlement.

Li Canghai glanced at him and asked, "Do you believe that Qin Fu colluded with the enemy and treasoned the country?"

Xiong Asi said excitedly: "I don't believe it! General Qin is loyal to the country, how can he cooperate with the enemy? It's a pity that I'm just a grassroots person with no power and power, and I can't clear up the grievances of General Qin!"

Li Canghai said indifferently: "What you can't do, I will do it! Qin Fu's grievances, I will wash it away!"

As soon as these words came out, Xiong Asi and the shopkeeper were stunned.

After a while, Xiong Asi asked in disbelief, "My lord, is what you said true?"

"Of course it's true. Your Majesty has given me permission to re-investigate this case. Tomorrow, I will reveal the truth to the world and return Qin Fu to his innocence!" self-confidence.

Xiong A Si fell down on his knees with a puff, and he tearfully said: "My lord! You are really the master of Qingtian! If anyone in this world can avenge General Qin, it must be my lord. Caomin... Caomin thank you for the general My lord!"

Li Canghai hurriedly helped him up, and said: "Quickly please, it is my job to pay justice to those who have been wronged. Tomorrow, I will retry this case in Luoyang Mansion and announce the truth to the world. "

After thinking about it for a while, Li Canghai suddenly asked: "Since you have received Qin Fu's favor, do you know his guards?"

Xiong Asi wiped away his tears, nodded and said, "I do recognize some of the guards around General Qin."

"Oh, then do you know Hao Ren?" Li Canghai asked.

"General Hao? Recognize it! But since General Qin's accident, General Hao has disappeared, and I don't know if he has been implicated." Xiong Asi sighed.

Li Canghai took a deep look at him and said, "Hao Ren was imprisoned 14 years ago."

"What?" Xiong Asi was startled.

Li Canghai sighed, and told him what happened to Hao Ren.

"I didn't expect that General Hao would end up like this, alas..." Xiong Asi's voice was slightly bitter.

"I want you to go for me." Li Canghai said.

Xiong Asi was stunned for a moment, and said, "I don't know what orders my lord has?"

Li Canghai leaned close to his ear and whispered something, Xiong Asi's eyes showed surprise. After thinking for a while, he nodded and said, "Don't worry, my lord, I will leave this matter to the grass-roots people."

After the two left the mutton restaurant, they walked directly towards the Luoyang prison.

As soon as she came to the gate of the prison, she saw Di Qing walking towards this side bouncing along with Ben Boerba and Baboerben.

"Cang Hai, we're back!" Di Qing waved excitedly and shouted after being far away.

Li Canghai touched his nose in surprise, went up to meet him, and said, "Qing'er, why did you come back so soon? Did you get the things?"

Di Qing shook her head triumphantly, and said, "Is there any reason for me to come back when I am a heroine? Hey, this is what you want."

With that said, Di Qing took out a bundle from behind her and handed it to Li Canghai.

Li Canghai took it, and immediately opened it to have a look. After confirming the contents inside, he smiled calmly and said, "It's time to meet him for a while."

"Who is he?" Di Qing leaned over and asked with a puzzled expression.

"Luo Xishi!" Li Canghai spat out three words.

After entering the Luoyang Prison, Li Canghai asked the two brothers, Ben Boerba and Baboerben, to follow Xiong Asi to Hao Ren's cell.

He took Di Qing and walked directly to Luo Xishi's cell.

Sitting in the cell, Luo Xixi closed his eyes and meditated, as if he didn't care much about being in the cell.

"Who are you?" Seeing Li Canghai coming in, Luo Xishi glanced at him lazily.

Li Canghai did not answer him, but said indifferently: "Luo Xishi, originally from Hangzhou, near Luoyang, is the nephew of Honglu Shaoqing Zhang Bojitang. Tianbaochu, under the recommendation of the right minister Li Linfu, co-chaired the prison with Ji Wen, Soon after, he moved from the master of Yushitai to serve Yushi in the palace. For eight years, Tianbao, except for the members of the Ministry of punishment, was transferred to Lang Zhong. In eleven years, Li Linfu died, and he was appointed as the prefect of Zhongbu and Shi'an counties, and still served as Guan Jinglue .”

Luo Xixi was stunned for a moment, he frowned slightly, stared at Li Canghai, and said coldly, "Who are you? Why are you investigating me?"

Li Canghai put his hands behind his back, smiled slightly, and then said: "Don't worry, I haven't finished yet. You were originally Li Linfu's disciple. Before the first year of Tianbao, you were unknown. However, during the Tianbao year, you suddenly rose to prominence and even became the master of Dali for a time. Temple, in charge of the world's prisons. All of this stems from a coup in the 28th year of Kaiyuan, am I right?"

Luo Xixi narrowed his eyes slightly, and said calmly: "I don't know what you are talking about? Also, who are you? Since you know that I am the prefect of two counties, you still dare to detain me? You are so brave !"

The corners of Li Canghai's mouth rose slightly, and he let out a sneer: "Unfortunately, this is Luoyang, not the central part or Shi'an. As for who this official is, you will know soon."

Luo Xishi's eyes were slightly cold, and he stared closely at Li Canghai.

"Now, let's talk about your journey to success!" Li Canghai said coldly.

"I'd like to see what ridiculous things you can say." Luo Xishi felt a sense of danger in his heart, but he still said expressionlessly.

Li Canghai narrowed his eyes, Luo Xishi was indeed extraordinary.But he has already thought of a countermeasure. To deal with this kind of people, he must use a straightforward method, quickly cut into the topic, and quickly defeat their psychology, so that he can get the answer he wants.

"The reason why you are able to achieve today is all due to the coup against General Qin Fu in Huaihua in the 28th year of Kaiyuan. At that time, Li Linfu and General Qin Fu were at odds. Li Linfu deliberately wanted to get rid of Qin Fu, but Because Qin Fu held a powerful army and was far away from the border, there was no good strategy. Until you gave advice to him, and finally successfully eradicated Qin Fu. This year, Li Linfu looked at you with admiration, and your promotion path also started from this But, did I make a mistake?" Li Canghai said in one breath.

"Ha, haha! This is the funniest joke I've ever heard! Everyone knows that Qin Fu's entire family was ordered to be executed by the emperor for the crime of collaborating with the enemy and treason. What does this have to do with me? You have made such a false accusation, I will sue you for the crime of false accusation!" Luo Xishi said seriously.

Li Canghai sneered, and said lightly: "There will be a chance for you to meet the Holy Majesty. You know better than anyone whether I have framed you. Back then, when you offered advice to Li Linfu, you first tried to find a way to transfer Qin Fu away from the court." At the border gate, you secretly colluded with the Tubo, and threatened the border guards with the lives of their families, coercing them to let the Tubo enter the customs privately. At the same time, in the court, you blatantly publicized that Qin Fu was collaborating with the enemy and treason, causing the Holy One to be furious. The case will be heard by the three divisions. However, during the trial, you and Li Linfu will deceive the superior and the inferior, and make false statements, which will eventually cause Qin Fu's family to copy and kill!"

Speaking of this, Li Canghai's eyes turned cold, and he said coldly: "Since then, you have become Li Linfu's confidant, and your official career has skyrocketed. I wonder if you have anything to add about what I have said?"

When Luo Xixi heard this, his pupils shrank slightly. He was obviously a little shocked. He froze for a moment, rolled his eyes, and clapped his hands and laughed: "Wonderful, it is indeed a wonderful story! But, what does this have to do with me?" What’s more, even though Li Xiang is dead, he is still a hero of my Tang Dynasty, you call him by his name so directly, and make false accusations, you can’t say that I want to refer you to the Holy One!”
