Chapter 125: Interrogation of Chen Wuzhao (2) Second update
"Are you afraid now? When you tried to convince others that they believed in Yin soldiers' robbery, did you ever think about it, if it was true, what would happen to you? Will we live well? If the Yin soldiers are so powerful that they dare to cause trouble in the Yang world and no one can control them, then how can we living people still be alive? "
“Yes, there are indeed no injuries on those five hundred people, and there are no signs of fighting around them...”
“Have you ever ordered people to take off all the clothes on the soldiers and carefully inspect the bodies? Are there no injuries? Have you checked the surrounding horse hoof prints and footprints to see if they match those of the five hundred soldiers?"
Chen Wuzhao was stunned.
"You didn't! Seeing that the soldiers' clothes were intact, I felt that they had no injuries. Where are the soldiers' weapons? Are there blood stains on them? Where are the horses? Five hundred cavalry, how many horses did you bring back? Last time I asked you about the horses The matter with food and grass was interrupted by you and was perfunctory. You are not very clear about this. , not to mention whether the soldiers’ lips are purple or their complexions are dark.”
Chen Wuzhao was as if he were taking a bath, his head and face were covered with sweat, and he said tremblingly:
“The weapons seemed to have never been left behind. They were all buried with the soldiers. The horses... Perhaps it was because no one had taken care of it overnight. When we arrived, there were only more than 80 horses left. The carriage, the carriage was still there, and the carriage containing the five-color jade was still there. The box inside was empty. It was true that no food or grass was found. I think it is possible that The carriage carrying the grain and fodder ran away. The faces of the soldiers, their faces, I, I don’t remember "..."
"You once said that the soldiers looked frightened. It shows how many lies you told to make people believe that it was the sinister soldiers! Do you have the order to count the corpses? Is it five hundred? Tools?”
“Count it, count it!”
"Did you find the body of the leader?"
"I...I was scared at the time. This team escorted the five-color jade to Kyoto. I didn't receive the official document beforehand. Maybe they wanted to It passed quietly, so when I suddenly saw five hundred soldiers being killed, my first thought was to confirm this team first Where did Wu come from and where are he going?”
“You hurriedly buried the body with the help of an unknown team, just waiting to find a way to shirk responsibility. There is no danger of bandits around Yang’an County. , this is your life-saving talisman. In your opinion, no one except bandits dares to touch five hundred soldiers. Since they are not bandits, This team did not inform the Yang'an County Yamen Association in advance that they were passing by here, so you felt that as long as it was proved that no one from Yang'an County was involved, the case would have nothing to do with you, and since the soldiers were not injured, you boldly spoke out. You’ve been talking about the possibility of Yin soldiers robbing Dao for a long time, and you think it’s right.”
“I really think about it. Who has the ability to kill five hundred soldiers quietly? Although I have not examined the injuries on the soldiers, nor have I checked the horse hoof prints and footprints, there are really no traces of fighting around there..."
“No, because they were not killed at the foot of the mountain!”
Chen Wuzhao was shocked and said quickly: "I don't know!" There will be no trace of it in a day or two. It has been identified, but for such a major case, no matter where the officials come from to investigate, it will take time to arrive in Yang'an County. Only you have the chance to find clues, but you missed the opportunity to investigate carefully!"
< br>Chen Wuzhao still wanted to defend himself.
Wu Chen waved his hand and said with a stern face: "You are a corrupt official, a treacherous person, and you like to be smart. If I rejuvenate the country and all the officials are like you, the country will be destroyed soon. I will definitely say this. I will talk to the officials and listen."
Chen Wuzhao collapsed on the floor.
"You should not be thinking about whether you can keep this official uniform now, but whether you can save your life."
"Please, please help Mr. Wu!"
Wu Chen stood up and said: "You are pushing yourself towards death. Who can save you? Aren't you doing everything in Kyoto? Then just leave it to fate!"
After that, Wu Chen strode out of the house. , High School sophomore and Xu Da followed closely behind.
Walking to the door, Wu Chen said to the guards: "Secure the yard and no one is allowed in or out!"
Chen Wuzhao in the room fainted directly.
......
Back in the front yard of the county government office, Liang Kuan was waiting there with a pale face. He didn't sleep well last night and got up a little late this morning. County Lieutenant Guo Xuan was still waiting there. Cao Bingshan was serving Cao Bingshan wholeheartedly by his bedside. Liang Kuan didn't want to show up, but it was impossible not to show up.
When Wu Chen saw Liang Kuan, he said very considerately: "Go and change with Guo Xuan. We have to go to Laojie Mountain again today. After all, you are old, so it will be easier to take care of Cao Bingshan. ”
Liang Kuan wished for this.
...
Wu Chen said yesterday that he would go up the mountain to bring the bones of those people back today, and also search the Taoist temple carefully. Wu Chen only believed half of what the Taoist people said today, so he would like to know more. Search carefully.
It was only when Wu Chen saw Liang Kuan that he thought of replacing him with Guo Xuan. Today must be very hard, and it will be dark when he returns to the city. Guo Xuan is younger and is a county captain. It can be more efficient to carry out errands with the Yamen.
Guo Xuan is still waiting for the unconscious Cao Bingshan at the house. Liang Kuan needs to get to the house first before Guo Xuan can go back to the county office to order people, which will delay some time.
Wu Chen, Gao Er and Xu Da are waiting in the county government meeting hall. This time some of the guards from the Imperial City Detective Department will follow. Wu Chen’s division of labor is that he and Gao Er will take Guo Xuan and the government officials. Looking for the bones, Xu Da led his soldiers to search the Taoist temple.
The sophomore in high school was very puzzled. He took a sip of tea and asked: "It is necessary to search the Taoist temple, but why are the bones of those people so anxious? They have nothing to do with the case."
Wu Chen said:
< br>"If it weren't for them, I would like to know if the five hundred soldiers were on the mountain I'm afraid it will take some time until Song Ti is punished and the bones are examined. Even with this inference, it won't be that easy to find the real place where the crime occurred. You guys It doesn’t matter if I’m repaying a favor or if I’m meddling in other people’s business, Anyway, if you encounter it, I will take care of it."
Xu Da asked: "You said that five hundred soldiers were killed elsewhere and then transported back to the foot of the mountain. What was the real purpose of the murderer? Do you believe it’s Yin Bing’s robbery?”
“Yes. Ah, what are you trying to do? It's not easy to transport five hundred soldiers. At least it means they have a big car, and there are more than one. Needless to say, they have financial resources, and they also need manpower. Such a large battle is just for That piece of five-color jade?" Wu Chen asked, squinting his eyes. (End of chapter)
