Chapter 2604 The Secret Path of the Cave
Soon Liu Tuiguan appeared again.
This can be said to be his first case since taking office in Beijing.
Obviously his colleagues wanted to see his joke.
Because no one took him.
This is inconsistent with human nature and logic.
But it is consistent with reality.
Because he took refuge with the second prince, everyone isolated him and did not play with him.
The people from the Second Prince's family are also waiting to see what he is capable of.
Only if you have the ability, you will lead him.
If you don't have the ability, just die.
This is the cold reality.
As for whether Liu Tuiguan will become a murderer and take revenge on them.
They are not worried.
After all, the other party is right under his nose.
It is difficult for such an exposed murderer to become a threat.
The really scary thing is those slaves with low eyebrows and submissive eyes.
Let's put it this way, in Wen Rensheng's opinion, the death of this old gentleman just now was probably the work of a slave.
And this slave probably just disliked the old gentleman.
I am jealous that the other party can listen to music, eat, drink and have fun without having to do anything.
And he still has to work hard.
Liu Tuiguan still handled the case as usual.
Of course when he saw Wen Rensheng, he immediately asked him to get busy.
Of course Wen Rensheng just created the illusion of being busy... but actually did nothing.
Referred to as advanced fishing.
One of the essential skills for modern social animals to avoid sudden death.
Liu Tuiguan quickly determined the identity of the deceased and the suspect.
"The deceased's name is Han Yuye. He was a fourth-rank official who retired and enjoyed preferential treatment from the court."
"The family has several houses, several shops, and thousands of acres of land outside the city. A truly wealthy family."
"Except for the waiter, the only person who has access to his teacups and teapots is Han Da, his servant who was just sent to buy tobacco."
Then Liu Tuiguan called Han Da over.
After careful inspection, it was discovered that Han Da was the murderer!
This is the normal rhythm of handling cases...
Liu Tuiguan thought to himself.
Most murderers are actually easier to catch as long as they don't escape.
Because they often don't have the means to deal with reconnaissance.
After all, this is ancient times, not modern times.
The knowledge that people can hear about solving crimes is from dramas and picture books.
Both of these are not widely spread.
Besides, even in modern times, there are still many stupid murderers.
They completely underestimated the professionalism and strength of the investigators.
Let's put it this way, if you don't want others to know, you have to do it yourself.
It’s better not to do things that go against the bottom line in the modern world.
And this Han Da quickly confessed his crime.
“This damn master, I work hard to run errands every day, but he leisurely eats, drinks and has fun, smokes and listens to music.”
"I want him to die!"
"I have no family anyway. My mother passed away last month."
"I have worked hard in their family for more than thirty years. No ugly maid would be willing to marry me."
"This damn master deserves to die!"
"He just wants to drive me out if I work for another five years. Go become a monk and find someone who is diligent!”
After hearing Han Da's words, instead of scolding him, everyone whispered in low voices.
“That’s right, Mr. Han is too bad.”
“That’s right, usually the wealthy families who are more sophisticated will marry their servants, and then let the family It is also a family job to have children and continue to be a slave, and to ensure harvests during droughts and floods."
"Yes, Mr. Han was so clever that he tried to squeeze the servant dry, but he was killed by the servant. !”
“Good kill!”
Then the case spread throughout the capital.
After all, this element is too full.
"The servant kills the master."
"The master is cruel and the servant is dissatisfied."
Although many masters are very angry.
"This is asking for death!"
"He is a slave. His master gave him food and clothing, and gave him a place to show his talents. Instead of doing his job well, he wanted to murder the master!"
“His nine tribes should be killed!”
The master who said this was then slapped in the face.
Because what is very funny about Han Da is that he is one of the nine tribes who died Master Han.
Yes, it is common for people to use their distant relatives as slaves.
However, it is usually promotion, but this Mr. Han uses the name of his clan to exploit.
So I was unlucky.
Now, if we really want to sentence the nine Han clans to death.
He was happy instead.
Because this means that the Yamen helped him destroy the entire family of his enemies...
As for killing the three clans, is it okay?
No way either.
Because it will also involve the Han family.
So in the end we could only make a hasty judgment of a beheading.
However, starting from this day, the servants' life was obviously much easier.
The reason is also very simple.
It is impossible for the masters to leave their slaves.
After leaving the slaves, it can be said that the masters can't even wear the official uniforms of the court.
Waiting to be impeached by the censor.
Since we can't live without him, we can only improve the salary and replace him.
But with a new person, can you guarantee that he will be loyal?
Hard to say.
It may even bring more harm.
It is better to win over.
So a new method emerged:
If there is a slave who wants to be punished, he must kill it immediately to avoid future troubles.
Otherwise there will be no punishment, but a reward.
You can't kill him, but you have to send him out of the capital to a place where he can't come back.
This is also the method used by Cixi in later generations.
These gentlemen have also learned.
Actually, they knew it before, but this time Han Da's incident strengthened their impression.
Then Liu Tuiguan ran around in various bizarre cases in the capital.
The capital city has a large population, more than 1.5 million.
Some even say it may be more than three million.
After all, no one counts the people in those huts outside the city.
Because there is so much food in this world, the population agglomeration effect is particularly obvious.
As for Wu Sanwen’s death, it has been suspended indefinitely.
Because there is no way to investigate further and no one cooperates.
When a person dies, he dies.
The steward under the second prince arranged for another person to replace Wu Sanwen.
It's just that the location of the appointment was changed from the border to a county in the interior, and he was just a big head catcher.
And Wu Sanwen’s death is like a bubble that no one remembers anymore.
The following night.
Liu Tuiguan is working overtime and staying up late.
The strong man came to him.
"You are given a task from above. In the future, there will be no such ferocious murderers, especially those who are cold-blooded and ruthless. Reporters will stay."
"We will replace them with beggars, and then we will Training to become a dead soldier."
"The number does not need to be large, five hundred people are enough."
"Where are you hiding?" Liu Tuiguan asked.
This is obviously a plan to rebel at a critical moment.
It is said that the emperor is 73 years old this year.
83,74, the King of Hell did not invite me to go.
In the eyes of the ancients, this is one of the most dangerous ages.
It is said that the emperor is lucky to live such a long life.
Generally speaking, very few emperors can live beyond the age of 60.
The reason why the emperor can live so long is because of fear. Because cases happen frequently, we have to be extra careful.
Don’t dare to be too indulgent, be extra careful when eating, sleeping, and going out.
To live such a long time.
Emperors who are too indulgent will not live long.
Those temperate emperors, if they pay a little attention, are very likely to live past sixty as long as they are not tired.
And now is the critical moment.
The strong man then said: "You don't have to worry about that. Just go dig coal outside the city and hide it."
"We dress up as a team transporting coal into the city every day and train back and forth."< br>
The strong man said a lot, but Liu Tuiguan knew that the other party's words must be false.
This is used to fool the monitors.
He must be being watched.
After all, his identity is a bit eye-catching.
Deployed into the city from outside, he is also the chief officer investigating Wu Sanwen's case.
These conditions determine that he is very eye-catching.
So he also became a bait on the table.
This is really a reincarnation.
Even the matter of raising dead soldiers has to be carried out on his back.
Liu Tuiguan couldn't help but sigh.
Then he said: "Okay, I get it."
In the following time, he replaced each of the crimes that deserved death with homeless people and beggars.
It may seem troublesome to do this, but it is not difficult for an expert.
Grab a few details.
One is when he was sent to prison.
The second is when describing appearance.
The third is to find the prison guard.
For the last thing, he asked Wen Rensheng to take a look.
Wen Rensheng then had an idea and asked another detective to do it.
He also wanted to see how this detective drama would end.
In a world where cases occur frequently, battles are obviously different.
…………
On this day, as the emperor’s health became worse and worse.
The fight between the two princes became more and more intense.
Both of them raise dead soldiers.
And each started causing trouble for the other.
Today you encouraged my housekeeper, saying that the housekeeper’s biological father was killed by the Lord.
Tomorrow I will encourage your concubine to say that the destruction of the family is caused by the Lord.
In short, I just want to win without a fight, hoping that the other party’s family will rise up, start a case, and kill the opponent.
This is not their wishful thinking.
In fact, in recent years, many ministers, princes, and nobles have been killed by their servants.
Just from the case files that Liu Tuiguan saw, at least one-third of the powerful families had cases that had occurred in their homes.
The target is often the head of the family.
The most vicious ones are also the ones most easily hated.
So most of the officials are kind-hearted and behave well.
He even treated his servants, got married, and took care of them in their old age.
Of course some ministers were frightened.
Resolutely only use the people closest to you.
For example, let your nephew be a servant. In name, he is a housekeeper, but in fact he is doing the work of a servant.
For some big families, this is okay.
Some people come from poor families and their clans are not strong, which will cause trouble.
Some simply don’t hire any servants and just handle everything by themselves.
In this case, I have to say that facts have proven that single people live longer than married people.
Of course, in the modern world, the opposite is true. In fact, it is because being single has no restraints and makes it easy to indulge. It does not mean that being single is bad.
As I said before, you have to be able to control your own schedule. If you are single, you will be stress-free and live longer.
Some old people endured the death of a bunch of people by themselves.
Always single.
On this day, Liu Tuiguan suddenly saw a case, which he found very interesting.
"Serial Murder Case in Capital Cave?"
Wen Rensheng also noticed this case.
What it means is that there needs to be a huge cave under the capital.
Actually this is because there was a large cave under the capital.
The ancients were not clear at first and did not investigate carefully, so they built the capital here.
As time passed, someone dug the well too deep, more than a hundred meters, and discovered a deep hole underground.
The holes are connected to each other.
Wen Rensheng also knew that there was such a terrain and such a community.
The community is built on a cave.
This is obviously unsafe.
But since it has been created, people can only endure it.
Fortunately, this cave is very strong, so there is no need to worry about landslides.
But now the caves in the capital are completely different.
It extended in all directions and was later exploited.
In fact, when the cave was first discovered, the emperor originally wanted to move to another capital.
But later I heard someone say that this cave can be transformed into a way of escape and a place to hide soldiers.
The emperor was suddenly moved.
It is not uncommon in history for emperors to be trapped in the capital and eventually killed by thieves.
One of the reasons is that there is no good escape route.
It is generally said that the royal family has secret passages that can lead to the outside of the city. Secret passages have been dug since the beginning.
But in fact, there must be a secret passage, but it won’t be too long.
This is because the amount of work is too large, and it is easy to be exposed if the excavation time is long.
After all, there are many people in the capital listening to Datan.
Once this secret passage is exposed, what’s the use?
Historically, many emperors who were besieged had to break out of the siege from the city gate. They could not get out and died.
In fact, this is because in the prosperous times, there was no need to dig, but in the end of the world, no one had the money to dig.
It’s ridiculous to say that these emperors had money to build tombs for deceased emperors, but they had no money to prepare a secret escape route for themselves in advance.
One-third of the manpower and material resources needed to build the mausoleum would be enough to dig an escape tunnel.
Actually, I am still worried about hidden dangers. I am afraid that someone will come in through the escape tunnel and assassinate me.
But it’s different now, there is a ready-made secret path.
As long as there is little digging, you can use the cave as a secret passage.
And the emperor can let very few people know about this secret passage.
Now, the case that Liu Tuiguan saw was related to the secret passage of the capital cave.
In the secret passage of the cave, corpses appear one after another.
Originally, this kind of place is left unattended.
The problem is that the legitimate sons of several dignitaries died.
He was thrown into the cave, and then the dignitaries found the private experts to find out.
This matter became a big deal.
So with their combined efforts, this serial murder case about the secret passage in the cave became a big deal.
So much so that the Sanfa Division had to make a big fanfare and began to order the yamen under its command to start investigating the secret passage in the cave.
This investigation is serious.
It turns out that there were countless people who disappeared, were kidnapped, and were killed in the past years.
The entire secret passage in the cave is better said to be an underground passage than a corpse cave.
Liu Tuiguan led people down to a secret passage in a cave.
After walking less than 500 meters, I saw six white bones.
And there are obvious marks of knife and ax chops on the bones.
Some have broken arms, some have broken sternums, and some have broken spines.
You can tell at a glance.
These were all killed, not natural deaths.
And all he has to do is find out where the murderer is hiding.
In fact, in Wen Rensheng's opinion, this case is another headless case.
The place below is so big that even modern people would find it difficult to use advanced technology to explore it clearly.
Not to mention a group of ancients.
At most, they can find a group of homeless beggars hiding in the secret passage of the cave to take the blame.
