Dajin royal family

Chapter 87 Passing the Message

Hearing this, the crown prince smiled honestly, and the fat cheeks struggled to squeeze out a smile, "Everything I do now is wrong, and nothing I can do can dispel my doubts. It is better not to do it. This is not something I did alone. Gu is right."

Gao Xun chuckled, nodded and said: "Your Highness can think so, and the veteran will feel at ease, let them make trouble."

Chang'an County Government, autopsy room.

Tang Ji's corpse was lying stiffly on the couch, surrounded by dozens of experienced coroners. They stepped forward to examine the corpse one by one, and then gathered together in twos and threes to discuss in a low voice. The final conclusion was still that Tang Ji Disease is being poisoned by others.

The magistrate of Chang'an was very dissatisfied with this result.

why?
The answer is simple. According to the current situation, Tang Ji was poisoned, Tang Gao's disappeared, and Tang's family died.This shows that Tang Ji was probably killed by the bowl of poisonous soup found at the scene, and the only one who can make Tang Ji drink it is the missing Tang Gaoshi.

How does this get him to close the case?Tang Gao didn't catch it again. In other words, would he dare to catch it?That woman is King Qi's concubine, he dare not offend a popular prince.But the problem is that there is no way not to arrest him. The superiors are pressing him hard. If he does not handle the case, he will be prosecuted.Thinking of this, Tang Ji felt dissatisfied immediately. Both the Ministry of Punishment and Dali Temple knew that this was a hot potato, so they didn't dare to investigate, so they put the burden on him, a small county magistrate, which is really shameless.

He suddenly turned his head and saw Shangguan Di, the county captain not far away, his eyes suddenly lit up, big fish eat small fish, small fish eat aquatic plants, Huaiying, don't blame the old man.

"Cough cough, Huaiying." Chang'an county magistrate coughed pretendingly, and called out to Shangguan Di, who came over with a question.

"What's wrong Mingfu?"

The magistrate of Chang'an pretended to be deep and said: "This case is going to be handed over to you in its entirety. The Ministry of Criminal Justice and Dali Temple are very concerned about this case. You must not let us down. The government has always had high expectations for you. You Are you confident in solving the case?"

Shangguan Di Daxi, at first he thought that this case involved the dignitaries of the dynasty, and the Ming government would definitely not allow him to investigate further, he didn't expect it!He hurriedly cupped his fists and promised: "Don't worry, Mingfu, Huaiying will live up to Mingfu's expectations, and will definitely give Mr. Tang an explanation to comfort his spirit in heaven."

"Okay, okay." The magistrate of Chang'an nodded in satisfaction, "You can go and investigate at ease. If you need manpower, or if there is any inconvenience in doing things, even if you ask the government, the government will fully support you. This murderer is so hateful. If you dare to commit murder at the emperor's feet, the imperial court will definitely not let him go!"

The county magistrate of Chang'an was extremely righteous, and Shangguan Di suddenly felt that Ming Fu still had a sense of justice and was also a good official.Perhaps because of the atmosphere in the court, the Ming government may also have a lot of helplessness.

With the strong support of the county magistrate, Shangguan Di Li immediately started to mobilize people to start sorting out the files in an attempt to find breakthroughs in the case.

But what frustrates him is that no matter how he investigates the scene of the crime and sorts out the known information, he can't find anything useful.The main reason for trapping him now is the missing woman. Only by catching her can he go one step further.

But it has been a day and a night since the incident happened, how can we find her trace now?

Seeing the reduction of candles inch by inch, Shangguan Di sighed helplessly, and fell into deep thought while holding the file.After thinking about it for a long time, he didn't come up with anything, Shangguan Di came to the county government office, and led the horse on the road.He planned to go to Tang Mansion again to see if he could find something.

Although outsiders were rumoring that King Qi might have done this case, he felt that it was unlikely because King Qi was not so stupid.If the affair between King Qi and Tang Gaoshi is true, in Tang Ji's capacity, he can only watch Qi Wang and Tang Gaoshi have an affair.Why did King Qi kill Tang Ji to cause trouble for himself? You must know that the crime of poisoning a court minister is much more serious than the crime of adultery with a minister's wife.

At this time, Chang'an had already fallen into a deep sleep, and the occasional passers-by were just watchmen.Shangguan Di sighed slightly. Although he wanted to "serve the country" and agreed forcefully to the Ming government, it was only after he actually took over the case that he discovered the difficulty of the case.If the evidence cannot be ascertained, the king of Qi and even the emperor will be angry because of this.

"Shangguan Di?"

In the darkness, there was a sudden cry.Shangguan Di was taken aback, how could he hear someone calling him at this time, he didn't bring any servants with him when he just left the government office.The voice came from behind, Shangguan Di turned around, and heard a muffled "bang" in his ears, followed by severe pain in his abdomen, and a black shadow punched him in the stomach.

The severe pain forced him to grit his teeth and fall to the ground, clutching his stomach, enduring the pain and trying to see who attacked him, but he only saw the person with a black scarf covering his face, unable to see his appearance clearly.

"Who are you?" Shangguan Di gritted his teeth, his voice trembling slightly, the punch just now was too heavy, if he hadn't practiced martial arts, he might have passed out by now.

The person who came was strong and dressed in night clothes, as if blending into the darkness.He only heard him say: "I know that you are investigating the case of Tang Ji, I advise you to stop here, otherwise your life will be in danger."

This man is a murderer! ?After hearing his words, Shangguan Di said bitterly: "Unless you kill me, I will definitely investigate to the end and catch you all!"

"You really don't want to stop? Be careful of your wife, children, and mother!" The man in black threatened him again.

But Shangguan Di was still unmoved, and said firmly: "A certain person was inspired by others to be loyal to the country and to continue his life for the people. No matter how you gangsters threaten me, I will never bow to you. If you don't kill me today I, in the future, I will definitely catch you villains! Bring you to justice, so as to comfort Master Tang’s spirit in heaven!"

The man in black was not angry, but instead laughed, "Sure enough, he is an honest and cruel official! It seems that I have found the right person!"

Hearing this, Shangguan Di was taken aback, he didn't understand what the man in black meant, he threatened to kill his whole family at one moment, and praised him at another, could it be that he was playing tricks on him?He suddenly said angrily: "If you want to kill, then kill, the villains don't want to humiliate people!"

The man in black shook his head and said, "If someone came to kill you, would he talk nonsense with you?"

"Then what do you mean?!"

The man in black said: "There is something you want in Yong Jing Zhai, go and see it as soon as possible." After speaking, the man in black turned around and left.

Yong Jing Zhai?
Shangguan Di was taken aback, and hurriedly called him, "Who are you? What is there in Yongjingzhai? What is your purpose?"

The man in black paused, turned his back and said, "Master Shangguan, you are not the only one with integrity in Chang'an City. I hope you will not disappoint yourself, let alone the expectations of us powerless people."

After speaking, the man in black left quickly and disappeared on the street in a blink of an eye.

Righteous Hearts... Powerless...

The idea of ​​"could it be a reminder from a righteous man" suddenly appeared in Shangguan Di's mind.

No, I don't have time to think about it now, if he didn't lie to himself, then there must be important clues in Yong Jing Zhai that he wanted!
