Reborn Duke In Three Kingdoms

Wu County, county government.

The county magistrate Yuan Heng has been in charge of Wu County for five years. After Sun Quan took charge of Jiangdong, Yuan Heng came into Sun Quan's sight and was appointed county magistrate and became Sun Quan's confidant.

Just this morning, a homicide case was handed to Yuan Heng's desk.

In the case, a businessman died at home.

The dead businessmen were officials and businessmen in Jiangdong. Whether they were important or not, whether they were light or not. Because they were officials and businessmen closely related to Jiangdong, Yuanheng had to check and deal with them carefully. He looked through the traces of the investigation at the scene, as well as the examination he had made, and concluded that it was murder.

But there was no killer.

Now is about to usher in Wu Guotai's birthday, Wu county has this kind of murder, Yuan Heng's mood is a mess. He ordered a thorough investigation. There was no trace.

In less than half a day, the news of the merchant being killed suddenly spread in the county. It's even more rumored that the businessman is only the first one to be killed, and there will be others to be killed next.

The news made Yuan Heng nervous.

Can be nervous to nervous, Yuan Heng is still like a headless fly, can not find the direction to start. In desperation, Yuanheng had to strengthen the patrol and increase the strength of the investigation.

On October 23, another merchant was killed in the west of the city.

The dead businessman, whose identity is different from before, is a unscrupulous businessman. The people applauded his death without much reaction. But Yuanheng is a father and mother officer. There are two homicide cases under his rule, and his heart is heavy.

Yuan Heng didn't even return home. He stayed in the county government and arranged for someone to check the information.

However, there has been no clue. When Yuanheng was in a mess, the news came out again that the killing would continue. Yuan Heng was even more nervous.

Two people were killed in a row. He was a county magistrate who had no clue. It was dereliction of duty.

Wu County governor Zhu Zhi also got the news, directly called Yuan Heng to the Yamen.

Zhu Zhi is about 50 years old, with white face and short beard, which makes people feel very kind. However, those who are familiar with Zhu Zhi know that Zhu Zhi's method of dealing with affairs is firm and decisive, and he always shows others with a cold face.

Yuan Heng stood at the bottom, a moment of uneasiness in his heart.

Zhu Zhi asked: "two people have been killed in a row. Have you found any information?"

Yuan Heng shook his head and said, "I have not found any trace of my dereliction of duty so far. Please come down." He also had all kinds of headaches, almost approaching the birthday of Wu Guotai, but things were getting worse and worse, and there was no sign of stopping.

Zhu Zhi said: "the assassination incident has aroused the idea of the Lord, seize the time to solve the case."

Yuan Heng looked up at Zhu Zhi and said, "my Lord, things are complicated. I'm afraid it's difficult to solve the case within three or two days. Can we give more time

"If you can't, I'll get someone else."

Zhu Zhi's eyes narrowed, and there was a chill in them.

Yuan Heng can't help shivering, immediately said: "please don't worry, your humble position must be found out." When it comes to his official hat, whether he can solve the case or not, he will agree to the matter first and then consider it.

Back to the county yamen, Yuan Heng sighed for a while. He urged the Yamen officers to investigate and verify the information himself.

Early in the morning on December 24.

A yamen servant rushed to Yuanheng's study in a hurry and knocked on the door. "My Lord, it's not good. It's not good."

In the study, Yuan Heng didn't go back to his room for a rest all night. When he was sleepy, he lay down for a while, and then continued to read the data of the two cases. At dawn, I was so sleepy that I fell asleep on the desk.

A quick knock on the door awakened Yuan Heng.

Yuan Heng heard the voice of the Yamen servant, and he thought, is there another homicide?

Open the door, Yuan Heng asked: "what happened?"

The Yamen servant replied, "this morning, my lord hanged himself."

Brush!

Yuan Heng's face became very pale in an instant.

In the beginning, the merchant was killed, but now it has evolved into the killing of the chief clerk, which has affected the officialdom of Wu County, and the situation is even more serious. Yuan Heng Lian said hastily, "have you checked it out? What's the matter? Why did the master suddenly commit suicide? "

"No, my Lord!"

At this time, the county magistrate rushed in again.

The county magistrate came to Yuanheng and said in a loud voice, "my Lord, there's news in the city that the death of the two merchants and the master is due to Wu County's being haunted. It's God's punishment to Jiangdong."

"Gudong!"

Yuan Heng couldn't help swallowing his saliva, and his heart was shocked.

From the beginning of the assassination, it gradually involved the sun family in Jiangdong, and the situation was very serious. Without any hesitation, he went straight to Zhu Zhi's office.

When he arrived at the yamen, Yuan Heng saw Zhu Zhi and said, "my Lord, the latest rumor about this serial homicide case is that ghosts and gods want to punish Jiangdong. From this conclusion, this is not the so-called homicide, but someone behind the scenes manipulates the situation and intends to disturb Jiangdong."Zhu Zhi nodded and said, "I have learned the latest news. Go to appease the people. Don't stir up a popular uprising. Try to calm down the situation."

"No!"

Yuan Heng nodded, turned and stepped back.

Although things are getting more and more serious, Yuan Heng feels that the burden on his shoulders is much lighter and there is no pressure before. If it is a simple homicide, this case is something that his magistrate must deal with. Now it involves the stability of Jiangdong, which needs Sun Quan to solve, and Yuanheng's energy is difficult to deal with.

Zhu Zhi went out of the prefect's house and soon arrived at the house of Wu Marquis Sun Quan.

Sun Quan did not know the latest news, asked: "Jun Li, serial homicide cases, found out the results?"

Zhu Zhi said, "yes, but it's bad news."

Sun Quan picked his eyebrows and said, "what's the matter?"

Zhu Zhi replied: "early this morning, Wu county chief hanged himself at home. At the same time, it is said that the killing of the two merchants and the chief bookkeeper was not caused by human beings, but by ghosts and gods. People say that the reason why ghosts and gods do this is to punish Jiangdong. It is Jiangdong who has done something wrong. Lord, this is for you. "

Sun Quan slapped his hand on the desk and said, "who dares to be so bold and who has so much energy?"

Anger grew out of Sun Quan's heart.

"Da! Dada

A rapid sound of footsteps came from outside the hall.

Zhang Zhao, Zhou Yu and Lu Su came together with a dignified look on their faces.

After the ceremony, Zhang Zhao sat down and said, "Lord, behind the serial homicide, it's not easy. According to the latest news, it is Xu Gong who killed the three people, and Xu Gong's ghost has come back for revenge. "

Sun Quan's eyebrows were very dark. He said in a deep voice: "thorough investigation, this matter must be thoroughly investigated. Zhu Zhi, mobilize the garrison of Wu County, block the four gates, and thoroughly investigate one by one. It's a coincidence that Xu Gong has been dead for so many years, but he has come at this time. "

Sun Quan didn't believe in the so-called theory of ghosts and gods.

Zhu Zhi said: "Lord, don't worry. I will try my best to verify it."

Zhang Zhao, with a serious expression, said: "Lord, I read the relevant information and sent someone to inquire about it. I found that the Lu family in Wu county had made some moves and there were signs of fueling the flames. However, there is no evidence that the Lu family is directly involved. "

Sun Quan's eyes were even colder when he heard the speech.

Zhou Yu said in a deep voice: "in addition to the Lu family, some aristocratic families in Jiangdong have also made some moves. In addition, Liu Xiu frequently sent wenpin, also in positive action. However, these people are spreading rumors and disturbing the situation. It is not clear who is behind the scenes. "

Lu Su said: "this is not a simple murder, but a premeditated attempt to disturb the stability of Jiangdong. Today's Wuxian county is in turmoil, and the situation is very bad. "

Sun Quan clenched his fist and thought quickly in his brain.

"Who? Who is it? "

Sun Quan's mind, stay in the body of Liu Xiu. He doubted Liu Xiu because he was also active. But Liu Xiu just arrived in Wuxian County, there was no such great energy to cause death without leaving clues.

Soon, Sun Quan ruled out Liu Xiu.

Sun Quan took a deep breath and said, "we must thoroughly investigate this matter as soon as possible and give an account to the people. Tomorrow is my mother's birthday. I don't want anything to happen tomorrow. "

"No!"

When people get orders, their hearts are heavy.

The simple homicide, mixed with the actions of the major families in Jiangdong, and the talk of ghosts and gods, made the whole city stormy, making the situation very complicated.
