Chapter 644 Mistakes

   "Isn't this obvious? Sister Wang sent Hua Sheng to visit Li Mansion at night, but Hua Sheng died tragically on the street. Could it be that Hua Sheng committed suicide?" Xijiang King Gong took over.

   "Suicide?" Kou Xing, Minister of Punishment, thought seriously.

  Xijiang people are so thick-skinned, this may not seem to be very big, but it is much more worry-free to conclude that it is suicide.

   King Gong of Xijiang was so angry that the corners of his mouth twitched.

   He just satirized a little, but the old guy actually thought about it.

   "Anyway, Hua Sheng's death is definitely inseparable from the Li Mansion. Xiao Wang hopes that Kou Shangshu will immediately send someone to bring the people from the Li Mansion for questioning."

   The censor of Zuodu opened his mouth and said, "My lord, is it inappropriate for your country's warriors to visit the girl's house at night?"

  If he were Li Xiuzhuan or Champion Hou, he would have to beat him to death when he saw such a person in the middle of the night.

"Even if it's inappropriate, is it okay to abuse lynching?" Princess Xijiang lifted her sleeves to wipe her tears, "I killed Hua Sheng, I just told him to go in and take a look at Miss Li, can you read it in the night, and clear up the doubts in your heart, who is it? Knowing that it cost him his life."

Princess Xijiang questioned Censor Zuodu with tears in her eyes: "Could it be that Daliang was so careless? Even if Hua Sheng is wrong, he will not die. If this matter is really related to the Lifu, we are at fault first. , I didn't think about killing people to pay for their lives, but the Loei government should at least give us an explanation."

   "This—" Several people looked at each other after hearing Princess Xijiang's words.

  It is not uncommon for people to break into someone else’s mansion at night and be found and killed by the host’s family. Usually, the people do not bring the matter to justice, but if there is a miserable owner to report the case, it is indeed necessary to ask the case, not to mention that it involves other countries.

   "Then ask Li Xiuzhuan to come over and ask about the situation first." Kou Xing rolled his eyelids, "Sit down first, I will explain to Yang Shilang."

   Kou Xing paced out, looked up at the gloomy sky and sighed.

   "Your Excellency is looking for me?" Yang Yunzhi, the minister of punishment, hurried over.

"This matter has something to do with Li Xiu's writer." Kou Xing explained the situation again and explained, "You can send someone to go to the champion's mansion and explain the current situation we have to the champion. , invite him to come to the yamen of the Punishment Department."

   "Don't worry, my lord, the next official will explain it."

  Morning light poured into Xingzi Hutong on West Street, kicking off the day.

  The fritters stand at the entrance of Xingzi Hutong was already crowded with people. People were carrying fritters wrapped in oil paper in one hand and freshly made soy milk in the other, and they were talking about the murder that happened last night.

   Chenguang got up early and told Qiao Zhao that he was on leave and was planning to go to the Champion Mansion to report what happened last night. He was stunned when he heard the discussions after walking to the Hutong entrance.

What? That three-inch nail is dead? This is impossible. If he has been with the general for so long, if he doesn't even have the measure, he doesn't have to mess around.

What? Or cut to death?

   Hearing this, Chenguang's face turned serious.

   Cut the throat, ordinary people have no such means.

   He pretended to walk forward as if nothing had happened, and stopped to buy a soy milk fritter when he passed the fried dough stick stall. After a short while, he listened to the situation, and after leaving Xingzi Hutong, he ran away.

   "You said last night the Xijiang warriors were going to climb over the wall. You knocked someone unconscious and threw them on the street. Now that person's throat was cut to death?"

"Yes, I thought that he was from Xijiang. If he was killed, the prince of Xijiang would definitely be yelling at him, so he just cleaned up, how could he think he died." Chenguang scratched his hair worriedly. , "General, did the low post cause you trouble?"

  Shao Mingyuan glanced at Chenguang lightly, and a thin layer of ice formed in his eyes: "Next time someone who breaks into the Li Mansion at night will be killed directly, what are you doing with so much idleness as a guard?"

  The subordinate is responsible for killing people, and he is responsible for the aftermath. There is nothing wrong with this cooperation. This kid Chen Guang really needs to clean up.

   As soon as he thought of the idea of ​​a man trying to sneak into the Li Mansion to beat Qiao Zhao in the middle of the night, Shao Mingyuan's killing intent was high, and he suddenly felt annoyed when he thought of the man who cut the throat of Xijiang Warrior.

  If he guessed correctly, the real murderer's target is not Zhaozhao, but him.

  This Oriole is trying to pull him into this muddy water.

   What is the purpose of the other party? Make him confront the envoy of Xijiang? So what can the other side gain from it?

  Shao Mingyuan pondered silently, and when he heard the personal guard report that someone was coming from the yamen of the Punishment Department, he rushed to the Punishment Department with the morning light.

Shao Mingyuan walked to the door of the hall, just as he heard Li Guangwen shouting angrily: "What, you, Princess Xijiang, sent a big man to break into my daughter's boudoir at night? Xing Shangshu, why don't you ask me to drive the envoy out? If we don't have a big beam, we will get it."

   Are these officers of the Three Judicial Divisions all eating idle food? Just taking a salary doesn't do the right thing.

   Kou Xing's feelings towards Li Guangwen were a little more subtle.

  Champion Hou was originally his grandson-in-law, but now that Champion Hou is engaged to Li Bangchui's daughter, he has to give this Bangchui some face, which is really uncomfortable.

   Kou Xing didn't want to speak, so the Dali Si Qing had to explain: "Li Xiuzhuan, the point is not here, that Xijiang warrior who visited Lifu at night is dead."

"Dead?" Li Guangwen breathed a sigh of relief, with a bright smile on his face, "I just heard that someone broke into our house at night, and I became angry, but I didn't hear the back. Since the person is dead, then I will Don't hold the dead to account."

   Dali Si Qing's lips moved, but they didn't know what to say.

   King Gong of Xijiang sneered: "Li Xiuzhuan, our people just died like this, your house should give an explanation."

   "Explain?" Li Guangwen widened his eyes in confusion, "I didn't let him steal chickens and dogs in the middle of the night, what can I explain?"

   "You—" King Xijiang was stunned when he saw this official for the first time.

   "But your Lifu killed someone, do you just want to forget it?" Princess Xijiang interjected.

Li Guangwen then glanced at Princess Xijiang and frowned: "Where's the evidence? You sent people to our house to steal chickens and dogs, and the people were killed by our house? Maybe it's a hero who can't see this kind of petty behavior, and Lu Jian is not flat and draws his sword to help. Woolen cloth."

Without waiting for Princess Xijiang to refute, Li Guangwen twitched the corners of his mouth again: "Furthermore, don't you say who is the first warrior of Xijiang, your first warrior of Xijiang is so bad, you can make me a civil servant. The housekeeper was killed? I’m not afraid to tell you, our family is poor, there are only three or five housekeepers in total, including an old concierge.”

  Daliang public officials: "..." Well done!

  Xi Jiang envoy: "..." I made a mistake, just go directly to the champion, and quickly get this guy away.

   Outside the door, Shao Mingyuan almost laughed when he heard his father-in-law's rhetoric, and walked in.

   The official at the gate shouted: "The Champion is here."
