Daming: Wanted to be a small landlord, but was forced to ascend the throne

Chapter 488
"His Majesty!"

Coming down from the hall, Niu Tianlin hurried to the back hall to meet Qin Shao.

"Then how much hope does Boss Han have to catch him?"

Qin Shao asked directly.

"Reporting to Your Majesty, the minister went down to ask about the situation just now. It seems that Han Er Er was afraid and turned himself in. He didn't tell Boss Han. If there is no accident, he should be caught."

Niu Tianlin has been encouraged by Wang Yun these days, but he is a little bit more confident. He deeply feels that as long as he does well, he will definitely be favored by the emperor. This time his answer did not have the previous panic, showing a bit of generosity.

"Has there been any murders in the past few days?"

Qin Shao asked.

"This……"

Niu Tianlin was a little surprised, why did the emperor ask these questions.

"Master, some time ago it wasn't..."

Lin An reminded from the side.

"Yes, Your Majesty, there are many things that I have forgotten before. Some time ago, there was a widow named Hong Xing in Dongmen Street whose husband died suddenly. After a few days, Hong Xing was suddenly strangled to death. Someone found out Report to the official, I asked someone to investigate, and found out that a scholar named Feng Dong was involved with this Hongxing..."

"A scholar and a widow?"

Qin Shao was a little surprised.

Scholars these days generally hold themselves to high status. Even if they don't have much fame, as long as they can read and work hard, it shouldn't be too difficult to find a job. As for marrying a daughter-in-law, most people think highly of them, as long as they don't choose a high school It shouldn't be a problem for a rich man to marry an ordinary lady. How could he get entangled with a widow?
After listening to Niu Tianlin's explanation, he understood the twists and turns.

It turned out that Feng Dong, a scholar, and Hong Xing from Jiaofang Division were childhood sweethearts, but this Hongxing family member committed a crime, was implicated, and was not admitted to Jiaofang Division, and the pair of fateful mandarin ducks were separated.

In order to redeem Hongxing, Feng Dong gave up relying on fame and worked as a teaching assistant in a private school to make money. After three years of saving, and borrowing some more, he thought about redeeming Hongxing.

After going there, I found that Hongxing couldn't bear the life of Jiaofangsi, and had been redeemed by Lin Laowu who was doing business and went back home as a concubine.

Feng Dong was very sad and desperate, and went to inquire about Hongxing's life. If the other party was doing well, he would give up. After all, his childhood sweetheart had feelings, and he still hoped that the other party could live well.

It was only after understanding the situation that I realized that Hongxing's life was not good, it can be said that it was very bad,
That Lin Lao Wu is a rough man, vulgar and perverted, married that Hong Xing, and didn't treat him well, even beat and abused Hong Xing.

Feng Dong and Hong Xing cried after meeting each other.

Seeing the bruises all over Hong Xing's body, Feng Dong was even more distressed, but he was just a scholar with no strength to restrain a chicken, and there was nothing he could do.

Feng Dong asked people to make peace with Lin Lao Wu, saying that he was willing to give him more money and take Hong Xing away. Unexpectedly, Feng Dong was furious and beat Feng Dong directly, and beat Hong Xing again after returning. Almost died.

In desperation, the two wanted to kill Lin Lao Wu.

One day when Lin Laowu was drunk, Hong Xing let Feng Dong into the house, and the two took Lin Laowu into the car and threw him into the river while it was dark.

The next day, someone found the drowned body of Lin Laowu.

Because there were no injuries on his body, and this Lin Laowu was addicted to alcohol, and no one reported him to the police, the government didn't pay much attention to it and decided that Lin Laowu fell into the water and died after drinking.

It's just that Feng Dong didn't marry Hongxing when Lin was the fifth child.

He is not very courageous, he just killed someone in a hurry. When he saw Hongxing, he could easily think of the murder and was afraid.

So I gradually avoided Hongxing, thinking that after a few years, maybe the impression in my heart would be let go, and then I would marry Hongxing.

"Then who killed Hongxing?"

Wang Yun asked puzzledly.

"I don't know. At that time, everyone thought that Feng Dong killed Hong Xing. They thought it was a killing to silence Hong Xing. They were worried that Hong Xing would say it. But Feng Dong insisted that he didn't kill Hong Xing, but he regretted his superiority and harm. After the woman died, he had a sad expression on his face at that time, and he directly hit the pillar to die, I don't think he really looks like a murderer, but if he is dead, the case will be over!"

"Those two people lost their families, and the corpses were buried with the help of the people nearby. Many people sympathized with the two of them, and they buried them together. What a fate!"

Niu Tianlin sighed.

"The red apricot was probably not killed by Feng Dong, maybe it has something to do with that Sun Zhuo!"

Qin Shao was silent for a moment and said.

"Your Majesty, you...why do you think so?"

Niu Tianlin asked a little puzzled.

"Didn't you investigate that Sun Zhuo before? Isn't his house not far from that of the widow Hongxing's house? Also, the second Feng called Sun Zhuo to blackmail them earlier. They were also forced, if nothing unexpected happened. , that Sun Zhuo should be the murderer of Hongxing, this is really a serial murder case, too many coincidences!"

Qin Shao sighed.

"What does your majesty mean, these murders are still related?"

Niu Tianlin found it incredible.

If that Sun Zhuo was really the murderer of the widow Xinghua, this case is really...

"Master! Boss Han is here! Boss Han is here!"

"Boss Han, this is Boss Han!"

"Of course, don't you know them? The two brothers eat, drink, prostitute, gamble and steal. Many people know each other. They were imprisoned for a period of time by the former master. They have been more honest in the past two years. I didn't expect to commit crimes again. What's wrong, he even killed someone!"

"Then Sun Zhuo is not a good guy either, he must be a dog eating a dog!"

……

With the arrest of Boss Han, Niu Tianlin was interrogated again.

"Boss Han, your younger brother has acknowledged your crimes, you will be lenient when you confess, and stricter when you resist, and you haven't told the situation one by one!"

As Niu Tianlin slapped the gavel violently, the tall boss Han shrank and fell to the ground.

When Boss Han was arrested, he was sleeping at home.

Of course he knew that Sun Zhuo's body was fished out, but compared to his younger brother Han Lao Er, although Han Boss was scared, he was still grateful. Anyway, Sun Zhuo died and no one found them. They just need to keep a low profile. Of course no one will know.

It's just that he didn't expect his cowardly brother to see Sun Zhuo's body, so frightened that he surrendered himself!

When the officers and soldiers came to arrest him, the boss Han regretted it, and the second brother Han was timid. He really regretted letting that stupid brother participate, but it was too late.

Although he usually looks fierce, in fact, he usually just steals chickens and pets, and he really doesn't have the guts to kill people.

Speaking of rascals, the Han brothers are really not as bad as that kid Sun Zhuo.

As for what to say, Sun Zhuo was also forced to do it out of desperation.

Arriving in this hall, facing the official and the old man, the original arrogance of not being afraid has long since disappeared. He is a rascal after all, and he is also timid when facing life and death.

What's more, the government's tenth and eighth classes of torture were not just for fun, they were also forced to kill Sun Zhuo, thinking that as long as they told the truth, they might be able to live longer, so they were so frightened that they did what they had done Shake it out one by one.

It turned out that the widow Chun Xing was really killed by Sun Zhuo.

That day, Sun Zhuo drank some wine and walked home a little bit drunk. It was midnight when he passed by the widow Zhao Xinghua's house, and saw a man sneaking towards the door.

Sun Zhuo felt weird, so he hid on the side of the wall to watch the movement.

I saw the man slapped the door heavily first, then slapped it twice, imitating the hooting of an owl a few times.

After a while, the door inside heard a "squeak" open, and the man rushed in quickly, and then the door closed quickly.

Zhao Xinghua was originally a daughter of the Jiaofang Division, with a graceful appearance, Sun Zhuo saw her once, and couldn't help but salivate.

It's just that Zhao Xinghua's husband is rich and fierce, so even if Sun Zhuo wanted to, he would not dare to provoke her.

Zhao Xinghua's husband drowned in the river for no reason half a year ago. Sun Zhuo knew that there was only one widow left in this family, but Zhao Xinghua seldom went out since her husband's death, and Sun Zhuo never had a chance.

Now in the middle of the night, a man came in and out of the house!
Yes, it's a man, Sun Zhuo knew it when he saw his back, and it was dark and midnight, his situation...

The sour water in Sun Zhuo's heart gurgled outwards!

Grandma, he thought she was a chaste and strong woman, so he didn't dare to act rashly, lest there would be problems. He didn't expect that it was a sao bastard who raised a man. Others could get it, but his grandson Zhuo couldn't get it!

For the next few days, Sun Zhuo hid there at night, watching the movement of the house.

He found that the man came once every three days, which seemed very regular.

Sun Zhuo took advantage of the night to knock on the door when the man didn't come, and gave the signal.

After a while, the door really opened.

"Didn't you come yesterday? Aren't you very busy today? How come you have time?"

The woman inside murmured coquettishly, opened the door and walked into the house.

Sun Zhuo didn't speak, but dedicated himself to help close the door latch, and followed him in.

The woman entered the room without lighting the lamp, Sun Zhuo was very pleasantly surprised.

Seeing the graceful figure of the woman, she rushed forward, and after a while, the woman shouted: "You are not Feng Dong, who are you?"

Seeing that the matter was exposed, Sun Zhuo stopped pretending.

"You immoral woman, you hooked up with a man as soon as your husband died. Since you can let Feng Dong come over, I can come over too! Let me tell you, if you don't follow me today, I will go to the Yamen to report you and Then Feng Dong has adulterous feelings, let you adulterous couple sink into the river!"

Sun Zhuo threatened.

"You traitor! I've heard of you, you are the prodigal who eats, drinks, prostitutes and gambles! You go to report to the official, you break into the house, rape and humiliate women, when you see the time, the official will believe you, or believe me! "

This Zhao Xinghua came out of the teaching workshop, and he has seen the world, and he is a smart person, and he is not afraid of Sun Zhuo's threat at all.

When Sun Zhuo saw the situation, he didn't care too much. Anyway, if he left this door, the woman might report to the official. If he didn't leave the room, he might as well fulfill his dream.

Just started to use force, but Zhao Xinghua was a strong woman, she directly resisted and yelled.

Sun Zhuo was afraid, so he covered Zhao Xinghua's nose and mouth in the morning, not wanting to force Zhao Xinghua to death.

Seeing that Zhao Xinghua was not breathing, Sun Zhuo became really scared.

He saw a box beside him, so he simply pried open the box and put Zhao Xinghua's body inside.

There were a lot of gold and silver in the box, but Sun Zhuo didn't care about it at all, so he closed the box, took the key and ran out in a hurry.

Sun Zhuo knew the scholar Feng Dong. In order to get rid of his suspicion, he ran to the gate of Feng's house, threw the key in his hand into the courtyard of Feng's house, and fled back home.

It just so happened that the Han brothers recently lost a lot of money in gambling and were in urgent need of money.

The pair of brothers are lazy and often do some sneaky things. Boss Han also likes to gamble.

The two were in urgent need of money, so they came out to check in, and when they saw Widow Zhao's door was ajar, they went in directly.

After the two went in, they didn't find anyone. They only saw a box next to the bed. After shaking it, it was very heavy. They had a hunch that there was something good.

In order to avoid being discovered, the two carried the box and ran home, but after opening it, they were shocked.

The body of Widow Zhao rolled out directly.

Han Er was timid, so he staggered into the courtyard in fright.

Boss Han still had some courage, so he went to the side of the box and found that Zhao Xinghua had lost his breath, so he knew that he must have been killed by someone.

He took out the gold and silver from the box, put the red apricot back into the box, and called Han Laoer to come and use the box to carry the body out together.

Han Er Er was almost scared out of his wits before, and now he only helped after being reprimanded by his brother.

The two hurriedly carried the box and were about to walk across the main street, when they heard the sound of a shift, the second Han was very flustered, dropped the box and ran away.

Han Er Er was very annoyed at his younger brother's cowardice, but he couldn't carry the box alone, so in desperation, he also ran back home.

Coincidentally, the box happened to be thrown near the door of Feng Dong's house.

This is why some people later suspected that Feng Dong killed Zhao Xinghua and found the key to the box at Feng Dong's house.

Feng Dong couldn't argue with his words, and felt sorry for Zhao Xinghua. In addition, the two conspired to kill Zhao Xinghua's husband.

As for Sun Zhuo, seeing Feng Dong and Zhao Xinghua's death, and knowing that the Han brothers, who had always been poor and stealthy, suddenly had money and even bought some women's jewelry, it was not easy.

After careful investigation, I found out that the Han brothers should have stolen Zhao Xinghua's treasures.

He went to Han's house, coaxed and threatened, saying that he would kill Zhao Xinghua first, so that they would have a chance to get those fine silver taels, and they insisted on sharing some.

The Han brothers had no choice but to give some to Sun Zhuo.

Money that is too easy to get is often not cherished. Sun Zhuo was a big spender.

Boss Han was very angry, knowing that Sun Zhuo was more ruthless and rascal than them, once he got entangled, it would be very difficult to get rid of.

When Sun Zhuo came to ask for money for the third time, he strangled Sun Zhuo with a rope and threw him into the river with his younger brother.

Because the impact of this case was too great and too bad, the Han brothers sentenced to be executed after autumn.

At this point, because of a derailment case, a serial murder case involving nearly ten lives was solved.

"If it hadn't been for His Majesty's reminder, I would have never thought that this case would be related to the previous case. Our emperor is really extraordinary!"

After handling the case, Niu Tianlin let out a sigh of relief, and said to his master Lin An.

This time, Lin An contributed a lot to handling the case, and helped Niu Tianlin a lot in many decision-making suggestions. Now he has completely become Niu Tianlin's reused teacher.

"My lord, your majesty is a vassal king who can grasp the power in a short period of time. Naturally, he is not an ordinary person. This performance of your lord has already fallen into your majesty's eyes. Moreover, the king's commander said that when your majesty evaluated you, he mentioned Dali Temple. My lord, After you..."

Lin An was very excited.

If my master becomes prosperous in the future, he will naturally rise to a higher level.

"master!"

"master!"

What else did Niu Tianlin want to say, a servant's voice came from outside.

"Master, Commander Wang is here!"

The boy walked into the road of reply.

"Commander Wang? What is he doing here now?"

Niu Tianlin and Lin An looked at each other and asked in surprise.
