Daming heir

When Yu Dalian rushed back to the Magistrate's Yamen, both ends of the entire Magistrate's Yamen Street had been blocked.

A case that can be regarded as a annihilation occurred.

Everyone who went up and down the Yingtian magistrate's office had their heads tied to their belts.

The Soldiers and Horses Department dispatched thousands of troops and began to line up around the haunted house opposite the magistrate's office.

But because of this time period, the gate of Yingtian City has not received any news that it is closed.

However, the Governor's Office, Yingtian Mansion, Bingma Division, Shangyuan County, and Jiangning County each sent people to guard the city gates and strictly check all people entering and leaving.

Yu Dalian stood in front of the magistrate's Yamen, and did not even enter the Yamen.

He walked towards the house opposite the government office with a gloomy face.

Yesterday, the mothers of the three families died tragically in the house. The matter has not yet been found out. The three families even specially moved to rent a house opposite the government office, but one day later, they all died.

This is undoubtedly a slap in the face of Yingtian Magistrate's Yamen.

And this matter can no longer be kept within the scope of Yingtian Mansion.

In the whole country, except for the emperor's imperial edict, which can kill so many people at once, no one has such power.

This is the most vicious case in Yingtian Mansion in recent years.

As Yu Dalian walked towards the haunted house, his legs began to tremble slightly.

If this matter is not handled well, he will be dismissed from office by the imperial court.

"Where is the maid who escaped?"

Yu Dalian walked very slowly and asked in a deep voice.

He was quickly thinking about the current countermeasures, and he was also thinking about why this happened and what direction it would develop next.

The magistrate of Yingtian Magistrate's Yamen, who ran to the Governor's Yamen to report the news and came back with Yu Dalian, immediately gasped and swallowed his saliva and said: "Still... still breathing, he was sent to the Yamen before. He had already sent someone to the Taiyuan Yamen." The hospital has invited someone over.”

Yu Dalian frowned slightly.

The magistrate's yamen has a secret service, which is aimed at the deceased. But there are also doctors. After all, it is such a big government office with so many people going up and down, so it is inevitable that some people will get injured from time to time.

There are not enough doctors in the government office, so doctors need to be hired from the imperial hospital.

This shows that the maid who escaped was seriously injured.

Yu Dalian frowned and asked, "Can I still ask?"

The judge shook his head and sighed: "One stab in the abdomen and two in the back. The murderer was very decisive and brutal. The maid has been in a coma. It is not known whether she can wake up."

Yu Dalian snorted coldly: "This is the only witness and clue! No matter what method is used, she must wake up and speak back!"

The judge was stunned for a moment, then nodded heavily, but his eyes became more solemn.

According to the words of the palace master, no matter whether the maid can survive in the end, as long as she can wake up and answer the government's questions, it is enough.

The judge saw that the government officials were carrying out the corpses from the house one by one under the command of Jin Yiwei. He quickly stopped and waved a government official to come closer.

Then the judge looked around and whispered: "Tell our Yamen doctors to use strong medicine! As long as you can wake up and answer the questions!"

This kind of powerful drug that stimulates people to wake up and makes them seem as if nothing happened for a short period of time is real.

The officer didn't think much about it.

For them, words from above are orders.

After hearing it clearly, he immediately ran to the Yamen.

After the general judge finished his instructions, he caught up with Yu Dalian who had already walked to the back door of the house in the alley.

Tongjian stood behind Yu Dalian, bowed down, and whispered: "Master Fu."

Yu Dalian hummed and looked inside the back door: "What's the matter?"

Tongjian replied in a low voice: "I think... the maid should be able to wake up and reply..."

Yu Dalian was silent for a while.

Then he said: "This woman is very important. You must ask everything clearly. You must go in person and get the evidence!"

The judge nodded: "I will accept your order."

Then he exited the alley and returned to the government office.

And Yu Dalian walked into the house in front of him.

The house is not luxurious.

Just because it is close to the Yingtian Prefectural Government Office, the rent is much higher than that of houses of the same size in the surrounding areas.

The layout of the house is also very simple, and it looks like it has been there for many years.

A house in this location is usually easy to rent out even if the rent is higher.

The reason why the three families were able to rent this time was because of His Highness King Qin.

Years ago, His Highness the King of Qin swept through the 17th Prefecture of South Zhili.

One of the officials is the owner of the house, and the other official with a lower official rank is the tenant of the house.

Only some members of this family live here.

Because the King of Qin clarified the 17th Prefecture of Nanzhili, this matter was also found out.

Needless to say, this is naturally one of the methods of offering bribes and demanding bribes.

Naturally, the house was taken back to the Zhili Governor's Yamen and sold to the outside world.

Then Daming Company took the money and bought the house.

I simply cleaned it up and started renting it out.

Fortunately, it was rented by three families.

and so.

When Yu Dalian walked into the house, Daming Company also sent people to the scene.

As soon as the people from the store saw Yu Dalian walking in, they immediately rushed forward with trembling hands.

"Fu Zun!"

"Master Fu, you have to make the decision for our business!"

"Look, this is a nice house, but our firm spent money to buy it. It hasn't been rented out for long, and now it's turned into a haunted house."

"This gang of people didn't even change places when they were fighting and killing. They ruined a good house like this."

"Master Fu, please take a look at this piece. The intestines and bones are broken all over the floor. We can't find anyone else to clean it up in our shop. It will cost a lot of money to clean it up."

"And this!"

"Those killers got blood all over these wood carvings. Now they can't even be wiped off. They have to ask someone to polish the carvings again. This is another big expense."

"And there's more..."

The people from the store pulled Yu Dalian and couldn't stop complaining.

Yu Dalian felt his scalp numb when he heard this.

But in terms of specifications, the Ming Dynasty Company was one level higher than Yingtian Prefecture, and was basically on the same level as the Governor's Yamen.

This house is a property purchased by other companies on the territory of Yingtian Mansion, and it is protected by Yingtian Mansion. But now that something like this happened, it is understandable for other companies to cry.

Yu Dalian endured the other party's croaking and said in a deep voice: "When this case is found out, the company will be able to make up for the losses."

But the person in the shop tilted his head: "Replenish? How to replenish it? It's hard for our shop to ask the governor for compensation. The person who committed this case is also a poor man, and all the valuable things in the house were given to him. Take it away. Do you want our company to ask these three victims for compensation? "

Yu Dalian is getting bigger and bigger. But before he could speak.

The people in the business were already clapping their hands with excitement: "That's right! We can ask these three families for compensation. This house was rented by these three families, so our business will just go to them!"

As he spoke, the business owner present began to look around.

Yu Dalian couldn't help laughing.

All the people who came to the capital have died, and now your company actually wants to ask for compensation from their victims. If those three companies don't kick out the people who come to your business to ask for compensation, then they are considered to be well-educated.

However, the owner of the company shouted: "You guys! Call the accountant over quickly and estimate the damage to our house. If you estimate too high, the damage to this house is the same thing. It’s another thing if word spreads about someone’s death and it’s not easy to rent out, and it will all be included in it!”

This guy is truly a business wizard.

When you are born, you should be ready for business!

Yu Dalian muttered silently in his heart and turned to look at the Jin Yiwei Baihu who were walking by.

"Fu Zun."

Jin Yiwei Baihu bowed and clasped their fists.

Yu Dalian waved his hand: "The most urgent task now is to find out the facts of the case. There is no need to insist on these false courtesy."

Baihuguan nodded and stopped being formal: "The incident happened about an hour ago. There were many people coming from the other party, so they started from the outside. So no one could escape, and they all died in this house.

The other party's methods were very cruel. Judging from the wounds of the deceased, they were all fatal with one knife, and the knife landed on the vital part.

We estimate that there are thirty-seven lives here, and the other party can kill them all in just a cup of tea at most. "

Yu Dalian frowned and asked, "Then why did a maid escape?"

Baihuguan explained: "We also went to the government office to check the location of the maid's wound.

It was a coincidence that the location of the wound on the maid's back was originally the most dangerous, but her heart turned out to be somewhat misplaced.

The reason why he is unconscious now is because of the injury to his abdomen.

We speculate that this woman was stabbed in the back first, and then those people realized that she was not killed by one blow, so they stabbed her again in the abdomen.

But I don’t understand why the maid was able to escape outside despite being so seriously injured, and is still able to persist until now..."

As he spoke, the official of the Hundred Households of Jin Yiwei glanced at Yu Dalian.

What he said was obvious.

That maid is now destined to die. Even if he is not dead yet, he will definitely die because of the stab wound in his abdomen.

He was reminding Yu Dalian that if he wanted to know something, he should take strong medicine.

Yu Dalian nodded silently.

He turned around and said, "Maybe we can find out how the murderer came in and which direction he escaped?"

Baihuguan immediately said: "First we entered through the main entrance, and then others climbed over the walls on both sides. Finally, they also escaped through the main entrance."

"Come in through the front door! Escape through the front door!" Yu Dalian's eyes were gloomy and he smiled sarcastically: "You are really arrogant!"

Baihuguan nodded, and then sighed: "Xiangdong fled to the East City, but we believe that these murderers fled this area of ​​​​Zhongcheng either to the south or north. From the time of the crime, Come to think of it, I would have already escaped from Yingtian City by then."

Yu Dalian's eyes flickered and his face was solemn.

Whether they were fleeing south or north, the murderers had no idea where they were at this time.

If you flee north, once you cross the Yangtze River, the entire Jiangbei area may be the murderer's hiding place.

And if you go south, it will be even harder to find.

As long as you leave Yingtian Mansion and reach Guangde Mansion, you will be surrounded by mountains, and the opponent can completely escape all the way south.

At this time, Yu Dalian looked at the house which had obviously been ransacked after the murder.

He whispered: "Did you steal money and kill someone, or did you kill someone and then take the property and leave?"

"It's impossible to steal money and kill people." Baihuguan gave the answer affirmatively, and then whispered: "The way these people kill people is too clean and neat, and their swords are deadly. They are veterans in the army, killing people It can't be so neat.

Even in our Jinyiwei, we can gather manpower to achieve such an effect, but that requires recruiting people from the entire Jinyiwei.

How could anyone in the world of robbing families and homes have such means?

These people must be here with an eye on the lives of these people, but it is just something that puzzles me. It is very puzzling that these people obviously have such means, but they still loot the property and leave after killing people. "

Yu Dalian took advantage of the situation and said: "Is it to escape with the belongings as travel expenses?"

Baihuguan still shook his head: "It is unlikely that people with such means will be short of money..."

The case seems to have reached a dead end here.

Yu Dalian sighed: "So we still have to investigate from the three families themselves."

Baihuguan stopped talking.

This issue was beyond the scope of his responsibilities and was something that the big shots in the court needed to discuss.

The big shots in the court are all discussing it now.

It can even be said that everyone was shocked.

The world is bright and clear, in broad daylight.

Yingtian City, where the capital city is located, unexpectedly suffered a tragedy that was almost like a massacre. Thirty-seven people died on the spot. This was simply a slap in the face to the entire Ming Dynasty.

Especially now that the Ming Dynasty is strong and expanding its territory.

Such a tragedy happened in the capital of the country.

Even a bachelor from the Hanlin Academy felt his face was burning hot.

Since the beginning of time, the officials and censors who have been frantically campaigning to impeach women for serving as officials have found a new outlet.

Countless memorials were formed in the shortest possible time and then delivered to the cabinet.

All the memorials are surprisingly unified.

It is either an impeachment of Yingtian Prefecture or two counties, or a direct impeachment of the governor's Yamen for poor local governance.

In fact, these people even impeached the Bingma Division and the Beijing Army.

Among the countless memorials, there are one or two impeachment memorials that impeach Jin Yiwei for his inability to secretly investigate the people.

The officials and censors can no longer listen to the news, but today's matter is clear. The more than thirty corpses have not yet cooled down.

The officials now have only one thought.

Impeach!

The Ministry of Punishment and Dali Temple are also going crazy.

Originally, they also knew that three people died in the city yesterday.

But with three people dead, the most the matter can do is go to Yingtian Mansion, or the Zhili Governor's Yamen.

They didn't take action or say anything.

But today, with the big case involving more than 30 lives, the Ministry of Punishment and Dali Temple really couldn't sit still at this time.

The censors from the Metropolitan Procuratorate were frantically writing impeachment memorials.

The Ministry of Punishment and Dali Temple directly held the two counties of Zhili Governor's Yamen and Yingtian Yifu to account.

Before the arrival of the fifteenth day of the first lunar month in the thirty-first year of Hongwu.

The entire Yingtian City was in complete uproar because of this case involving more than thirty lives.
