Chapter 2601 Serving as Fish Bait
After the strong man said these words, Liu Tuiguan was silent for a while.
He said lightly: "I'm afraid you are not an ordinary person, right?"
"You don't need to know who I am, you just need to know that you should seize the time to find the person who killed my brother. Just come out." The strong man paused, and then showed a tone of superiority.
After hearing this, Liu Tuiguan thought for a while and said: "In fact, it is not difficult to find the person who killed your brother."
"There's just one problem. I can't determine his true identity now. If I can't determine his true identity, it will be difficult for me to locate the real murderer based on traces and clues."
Wen Rensheng is at the door. Outside, listen to these words.
He really wanted to see how Liu Tuiguan would solve a series of things.
He did not use his mysterious seed.
Now that he wants to improve the mystery, he has an intuition. Now he should explore it in its original state.
Otherwise, it will easily touch the fragile world consciousness of this world and make it shrink like a turtle.
There is no way to observe the bottom layer.
“You only need to solve the case, you don’t need to know the true identity of the deceased.” The strong man said coldly,
“If you want to know his true identity, you have to do it well. Be mentally prepared to risk your own life."
Liu Tuiguan didn't care about this threat at all. He shook his head and said:
"But if I don't know the true identity of the deceased, I can't find out who wants to kill him."
The strong man also fell silent.
Because he also knew that what Liu Tuiguan said was right.
If you don’t even know the true identity of the deceased, how can you guess who killed him?
Unless you are lucky, someone witnesses the murderer, or the murderer is caught at the scene.
Or the murderer surrenders, is found out in other cases, and confesses...
And this all depends on luck.
The strong man himself knew the identity of the deceased, so he had a rough guess about the murderer's comfort.
But the strong man was not a police officer. He only knew how to kill people and how people died.
But how to specifically infer the murderer, how to hunt down the murderer, how to find the murderer's location and the murderer's whereabouts based on these traces are not his strengths.
So I have to trouble the professional Liu Tuiguan.
Even in modern society, the most important factor in solving a crime is to determine the identity of the victim.
In this way, we can rule out whether the crime was committed with a purpose or randomly.
There is a word called "headless case", which is used to describe something that has no clue and is difficult to solve.
The source is that in ancient times, the head of a murderer was removed, but the identity of the deceased could not be determined, and the case became mysterious and difficult to solve.
Random committing crimes and purposeful committing crimes, the logic of solving the two cases is completely different.
Wen Rensheng also nodded.
In fact, in his opinion, the victim this time was definitely not an ordinary person.
It is likely to involve internal fighting within the capital.
Otherwise, who would come all the way to kill someone?
The most important thing is that nothing inside the package was taken away.
This means that it is not an ordinary robbery at all.
But to silence them with purpose.
The reason why the other party left the money and documents was probably because they discovered Liu Gen as the scapegoat during the surveillance.
So I kept these things and wanted Liu Gen to take the blame. If I met a stupid official or even a county magistrate, it can be said that Liu Gen would be arrested and taken to take the blame.
If you don't sign and pledge it, you will be tortured directly.
It can also be used to deter those with ulterior motives.
In short, it kills two birds with one stone.
After the strong man thought for a while, he didn't say anything. He just bowed his hand to Liu Tuiguan, and then pointed to a bouquet of white flowers outside the window.
Then he walked under the white flowers, took out a chess piece with the word "handsome" from his hand, and placed it under the white flowers.
There is a handsome man under the white flowers. What does this mean?
Liu Tuiguan looked at it carefully, and suddenly his expression changed drastically.
"Well, it seems you understand."
"Heaven knows and earth knows, you know and I know. Anyway, I didn't tell you. You can guess the specific things yourself." Zhuang Han said.
Liu Tuiguan suddenly broke into a cold sweat.
But after a while, he suddenly clenched his fist and stamped his foot.
“Okay, I did it!”
“I can definitely find who the murderer is!”
“That’s good.” The strong man said with a smile.
Liu Tuiguan has already thought of it.
The other party was actually referring to the word white, with a veteran underneath.
The veteran is actually talking about the king...
The king versus the king.
The opponent will be the general.
In chess, there is a saying that "two kings never meet".
If there is a king under Bai, isn't that the "Emperor"?
This indeed involves a royal struggle.
Why did Liu Tuiguan get involved even though he knew this?
Because Liu Tuiguan wanted to make progress too much.
Although solving crimes is also very good, for him, the outside world is more vast.
He used to be obsessed with solving crimes alone.
So much so that as a sixth-grade official, he has never married a real wife.
This is simply unbelievable to the ancient feudal society.
The reason for this is actually because his parents passed away early.
No one pressed him, and besides, he was engaged in solving crimes, so most daughters of good families looked down upon him.
Who can stand the smell of corpses every day?
Liu Tuiguan was also arrogant and looked down upon women from small families.
Even more disdainful of some vulgar fans who recommend themselves as pillow mats.
I have been delayed like this, and I have not yet married a wife in my 30s.
In fact, in ancient times, there were many people in their 30s who did not marry a wife.
Why do you say that? In fact, it's not that they don't want to marry, but they can't afford it.
There were too many bachelors in ancient times.
For the people at the bottom, many families only allow their eldest son or one of their favorite sons to marry a wife, while the other sons work as free long-term laborers in their elder brother’s or younger brother’s homes, earn a living, and live in leisure. Eat by mouth.
You are not qualified to marry a wife at all. It is equivalent to sacrificing your whole life to fulfill this family.
Help the family survive.
This is also the source of many family conflicts in ancient times.
The so-called parents do not separate the family.
In fact, it is justifiable to rely on squeezing some of the children internally to keep the entire family alive.
However, the sad thing is that even if the people come up with such cruel methods, they still have nine empty houses.
There are fewer and fewer people who can pass it down.
Why are there so many poor people?
The poor are the result of the rich ancestors, and the original poor have been naturally eliminated...
In modern society, everyone has to marry and have children, and everyone has to rush to get married. This was unimaginable to ancient people.
This is actually luxury pressure.
Another thing is that Liu Tuiguan has solved so many cases that he doesn’t even know how ordinary people live their lives.
Therefore, he needs a high-ranking official and a generous salary to officially start a family.
And his official position has not been promoted for eight years.
I have always been promoted to official positions. It is just that today I will be in this house, and tomorrow I will be in that house. I just go back and forth, taking turns to adjust.
Whenever he takes the blame, he will be demoted.
Being a preacher will keep you in trouble for the rest of your life.
The average life span of ancient people was short. Even if the life span of the gentry and officials was relatively high, it was only more than 55 years old on average.
Mainly caused by the lack of medicine.
For many minor illnesses, those who can be cured will die.
As a result, the richest person can live to be 99 years old, more than one hundred years old, and the unlucky one will die young.
But if he wants to move up, it will be too difficult for him to solve the case on his own.
This is because he often solves cases and has a relatively high detection rate.
There are still many jobs above that rely on hard work like him, otherwise the situation will decline.
This is the feudal era after all.
If you want to rise, you can't do it without being surprised.
Being an official just by accumulating merit requires good times.
So Liu Tuiguan chose to go deep into the battle between the princes.
Not only that, he also dragged Wen Rensheng and several other spies into trouble.
Of course it doesn't matter if Wen Rensheng is promoted, but the other agents are still unaware of it and feel lucky because they are valued by the master.
After get off work, I was treated to a drink amidst the congratulations of my colleagues, and I was going to handle a big case. There is hope for being a head catcher in the future.
At this time, the strong man secretly told Liu Tuiguan some relevant things.
Of course they all communicate by playing riddles.
Neither said it clearly to each other.
Liu Tuiguan asked the strong man the identity of the deceased.
And the strong man just said:
"Once upon a time, there was a rich man. The rich man had three sons."
"The property was very big."
"The youngest son was disabled."
Well, this That's the right number.
The current emperor gave birth to ten sons.
Only three survived.
That’s good.
Many emperors gave birth to more than a dozen children, but the last one did not mature.
The feudal literati’s disdain for strange skills, their maintenance of their own orthodoxy, and their natural discrimination against craftsmen, doctors, etc. eventually backfired on them.
Some people will say, how can doctors be discriminated against? Aren’t there imperial doctors?
Haha, starting from the earliest medical troublemakers, Cao Cao and others have set an example.
Cao Cao dared to say openly that if Hua Tuo was killed, would no one be able to see a doctor anymore?
This is discrimination in the bones.
Won’t Cao Cao say that if you kill Gou Hui, there will be no second Gou Huo?
No, he will only suggest that Gou Huo will die on his own.
The same is true later. At first, doctors dared to disembowel their bodies and perform surgeries. Later, such big doctors made too many troubles, so they all only wanted to have no faults, not merit.
So even a slight cold would drag the emperor to death.
This is the backlash of the feudal society that treats everyone equally.
You suppress the development of science and technology, use feudal ethics to prohibit dissection of dead people, prohibit doing this experiment, do that experiment...
Although you are a superior person, you will still suffer from the backlash of technology.
And this is the case with this tenth prince.
When he was born, an imperial doctor said that all he had to do was remove a growing tumor.
However, as soon as he heard the word "sword", he was thought to have evil intentions and murdered the royal family, and was then dragged out and beheaded...
The result was that the tumor on the tenth prince grew and compressed the nerves.
As a result, my eyes couldn’t be used, and my legs were lame.
It was naturally excluded.
Of course, resection is risky, but the consequences of not resecting it are doomed.
As for the two brothers of the tenth prince, one is the third prince and the other is the seventh prince.
Yes, the eldest and second child also died young.
They are very kind to this disabled brother.
He was given various royal jelly, bird's nest, ginseng and other valuable things every day.
The disabled prince was raised to be a fat man.
This is good, the lifespan visible to the naked eye will not be long.
Because the ancients did not have antihypertensive drugs.
Unlike modern people, even if they are obese and have high blood pressure, there are various drugs to maintain them until they are over 80 years old.
And he also gave him all his best guards.
His two brothers competed with each other for their old father's property.
Just to show their brotherly respect, they tried their best to win over the third child.
Although the third child is disabled, he can still make a sound.
In the eyes of others, the third child has a considerable say in the inheritance of family property.
Of course Wen Rensheng would not see it this way.
This only depends on the strength comparison in key positions.
Who are the key positions?
The palace defense, several eunuchs in the inner court, the city gate defense...
These places that are directly related to the battle for force are the key.
Rather than the government and the opposition, the prince or whatever...
It's just that other people don't see it that way.
They will only think that if you can't even accommodate a disabled third child, then obviously not many people are willing to follow you.
Even if you succeed in becoming a leader, you are still a mean person. Who would be willing to support you?
So many readers cannot see the details.
I just feel that there needs to be support from everyone.
And many princes were also deceived by these superficial articles.
Those who really understand the key are often those princes who have done a lot of practical things.
They know the importance of key positions.
Grasp the key and everything will be solved.
A mean prince wants to ascend to the throne, unless he can gain the emperor's favor and approval, thinking that he can help him.
After the strong man finished speaking, Liu Tuiguan also completely understood.
In his opinion, this is the struggle of servants between two princes.
A servant of a certain family wants to go out and hire guards to secretly develop force.
And a servant from another family came and killed him.
You see, discovering your true identity is as simple as that.
Coupled with the fact that the perpetrator was so professional and vicious and turned a blind eye to the money, the murderer could be identified in no time.
The accuracy cannot be said to be 100%, but it is also 80%.
"It's very simple to lock the murderer."
"But how to catch the murderer?" asked the strong man.
Liu Tuiguan thought about it carefully, and then said: "We can spread the news that this servant is not actually dead."
"Aren't you insulting other people's brains by saying this?" The strong man despised road.
"The throat was slit and the back of the head was smashed. How did that person survive?"
Liu Tuiguan laughed "haha": "Your Excellency still lacks knowledge. "
"Why, have you ever seen such a person survive?" The strong man asked in confusion.
"No, this will naturally lead to death. I mean, this servant can say that he used a substitute."
"Think about it, the assassin did not want to alert others, so it was naturally impossible for him to carefully examine the deceased. I can only simply confirm my identity and then take action," Liu Tuiguan said very confidently.
"That's it, high, really high." The strong man was very happy.
If the murderer can be caught, he will have served the prince well.
There will definitely be a good future in the future.
Naturally, he didn't know that anyone who did such dirty things would basically die in the end.
So two people decided to design this bait.
If you want to catch the opponent, you can only use fishing now.
It would be meaningless if they took the initiative to catch him.
Because it is absolutely impossible for them to go deep into another prince's house to arrest someone. That would be courting death.
The only way is to mobilize people and then make it happen.
The evidence is irrefutable. After handing over such words, even if the prince is favored again, he will suffer the consequences of being dumb.
Because in the face of these serious matters, if you don't get on the scale, you won't weigh three ounces. If you get on the scale, you won't be able to weigh a thousand pounds.
What is the behavior of sending people to assassinate court officials?
This is an act of disregard for imperial authority.
The emperor must have felt threatened.
Today I can kill a small border controller to take up his post.
When the critical moment comes tomorrow, I dare to kill him.
The key is to have this execution ability.
As soon as the emperor feels threatened, the matter becomes serious.
Therefore, the key for many princes to ascend to power safely is to always show filial piety and not be tainted with any force.
Be cautious in everything.
Similar to several princes in the Ming Dynasty, they all came to power safely in this way.
Of course, there are disadvantages to being in a position like this.
That is when the psychological compensation mechanism kicks in.
How frustrating it is to be a prince, but how indulgent it is to be an emperor.
