Chapter 59 Murder Cases

"It doesn't matter how much rice is exchanged for what pearls." Qi Wuya said indifferently.

"Oh, where did Helian Feixue go?"

"Peach Blossom Temple."

"You still haven't told me what's going on?"

Qi Wuya glanced at Tang Luojin: "Aren't you going to let him go?"

Tang Luojin didn't care a little bit: "It's not my own people who are always a little worried."

"What are you worried about? I think you shouldn't push him into a hurry. The Helian family is now the fourth generation, and they are doing well in Mincheng. It's you who have been staring at him." Qi Wuya said simply.

Tang Luojin sighed slightly: "This is the fourth generation, a wealthy family, with a prominent status, not an official in the court, and only one spouse. Every generation's eldest son and grandson are so outstanding."

Qi Wuya sneered disdainfully: "With me watching, don't you feel relieved? Do you know that you were born in sorrow and died in peace? It is you who have been staring at others, making the Helian family always have a sense of crisis, so That’s why we will train the next generation so tremblingly.”

Tang Luojin shook his head: "No."

Speaking of Tang Mengxi, who was in front of him, had already stopped, just an ordinary farmer: "This is it."

Qi Wuya looked at it: "Do you still want to care about it?"

"Since you're here, let's go and have a look." Tang Luojin signaled Yan Ji to knock on the door.

"Here we come." A housewife came out to open the door for them. "Who are you looking for?"

Tang Mengxi immediately stood over: "Do you know me?"

The woman looked at Tang Mengxi: "Oh, it's you, what are you doing here?"

Yan Ji threw the clothes that Tang Mengxi took off before on the ground: "Let's change our lady's previous clothes."

"She found it by herself to change it, and it's not what we want to change. How can I change it back after it has been changed." The woman closed the door as she said.

Yan Ji directly pushed the door open, she was too lazy to waste time with a woman.

"What are you doing? I'm going to report to the police." The woman jumped up.

Yan Ji gave the woman a cold look: "Be obedient and take out my lady's things, or I will make you have no time to report to the police."

"Not good?" Qi Wuya approached Tang Luojin and said softly.

"It's okay, Yan Ji is just scaring her." Tang Luojin didn't care at all.

Tang Mengxi didn't care about these things at all. It was normal for Yan Ji to kill people in the palace, let alone here.

The woman was taken aback by Yan Ji's eyes, which were so cold that they could kill people directly: "Well, I cut that clothes to make children's diapers, and sold the rest of the jewelry to the street shop. It’s in the small shop, and that’s all the silver you can sell.” He said and took out some broken silver from his pocket.

Yan Ji glanced sideways at the clothes drying pole on one side and walked over. The tribute silk was really made into diapers by others. If others knew it, she would laugh her teeth out.

Qi Wuya wanted to laugh a little, no matter how precious something is, it is not bad in the eyes of people who don't understand, think about the princess's clothes being cut into diapers, the fate of those jewelry is probably not much better.

Suddenly he flicked his finger to block Yan Ji's sword stabbing at the woman: "What do you want to do?"

"Damn her." Yan Ji said coldly.

"Girl, please forgive me. I just see that the clothes are soft and have no other meaning." Now the peasant woman knew that she was afraid and knelt on the ground begging for mercy.

Tang Luojin's gaze also changed: "Yan Ji, I don't care about this time, and I will definitely not forgive you next time. Get up and take us to a small shop." Tang Luojin said with some disgust.

Qi Wuya is very clear about what it means to be with the king like a tiger, and the people in that position are always a little uncertain, and no one can understand his pressure.

A few people came to a small shop on the street, which was the kind of shop where you can buy everything in a mess. The shop was a bit messy, and a child was lying on the door, rolling and playing on the ground with a topaz bracelet.

Seeing the topaz bracelet, everyone was slightly stunned. Someone dared to roll and play with the topaz bracelet on the ground. This is not as simple as beheading.

Qi Wuya picked it up first: "I think you met someone who thinks rice is more precious than pearls." He wanted to laugh a little.

If it wasn't for Tang Luojin's previous warning that Yan Ji would have chopped off the child's hand, what kind of status are they to dare to be contaminated with royal things, and they are still so obscene.

"Give it back to me." The child looked at Qi Wuya with a runny nose.

Qi Wuya threw a copper coin to the child: "I'll exchange this for you."

The child proudly picked up the copper coin and happily went to claim credit. For him, a copper coin means money, and the bracelet is just a dispensable thing.

Qi Wuya wiped the bracelet clean and looked at it, it was not damaged, it was very shiny after a little rubbing, and there was a phoenix totem carved on it.

"Do you know how much this bracelet is worth?" Qi Wuya held the bracelet in front of Tang Mengxi.

Tang Mengxi shook his head.

Qi Wuya looked up at this dilapidated alley: "Without the totem on it, it can at least buy this alley."

Tang Mengxi opened his eyes wide and couldn't believe it.

"If the totem above is added, everyone here will die." Qi Wuya said simply.

Whether it was the ignorant woman who cut Tang Mengxi's clothes to make diapers, or the child with a runny nose rolling the topaz bracelet on the ground, it was a great crime against the royal family and could implicate the nine clans.

Tang Luojin looked at Qi Wuya: "Let's go in, if those things are left outside, I don't know what right and wrong will happen."

This kind of messy place really didn't match the outfits of the few of them. The shopkeeper subconsciously pulled his clothes when he saw such a person coming in, which was a sign of wanting to shorten the gap.

"What does the guest officer want?" the shopkeeper said flatteringly.

"Take out all the things she came to sell." Qi Wuya said as he took out an ingot of gold and put it on the table.

Seeing the gold, the shopkeeper immediately took it over and bit it, and after confirming that it was real, he laughed immediately: "Guest officer, wait a moment."

After a while, the shopkeeper took out a bunch of things, among which the pearls and jade were all there, but the gold and silver were gone.Tang Luojin originally wanted to educate Tang Mengxi, but now it seems that he has been educated. He never knew how the low-level people lived, and he thought that these people would treat treasures as rags.

"Qi Wuya, chase everything back." Tang Luojin said and left.

Tang Mengxi looked in a dilemma and still followed Tang Luojin. She had no idea that this matter would have such consequences, and Yan Ji almost killed her.

Qi Wuya smiled and looked back at the shopkeeper: "You'd better take out everything."

"That's really all there is." The shopkeeper said in a very embarrassed way.

Qi Wuya looked at the woman standing aside: "What's your name?"

"Mr. Wang." Mrs. Wang didn't dare to make mistakes.

"Is that all you gave him?" Qi Wuya looked at Wang.

Mrs. Wang was somewhat evasive, she only sold the pearls and jade, and the gold and silver were still hidden in her home.

Qi Wuya collected the things on the table: "You'd better take out all those things." He approached Mrs. Wang, "Did you see that woman's murderous gaze? Maybe she will really kill someone, and even make you Death is justified."

Wang shivered and looked at Qi Wuya. If she had jumped up and argued before, but now the chill in her heart has not dissipated.

Qi Wuya took out a piece of silver and gave it to her: "Go, go to your house and get it."

Seeing that You Yinzi calmed down a bit, Wang took Qi Wuya and left. Qi Wuya had a bad feeling, ever since he saw Helian's falcons flying across the sky, he had that feeling. That was the falcon of the Helian family, but from another perspective, the Helian family was the prey of a falcon.

The next day, there was another piece of news in Mincheng—the whole family of two families was killed, and no one survived.

By the time Qi Wuya arrived at the scene, the people from the yamen had already done the autopsy there.

"What's the situation?" Qi Wuya approached the corpse.

"It's so cruel, the tongue was cut off, and the hands were chopped off." Wu Zuo felt a little chill in his heart, if it wasn't for something, why would he use such a cruel method.

"Any other discoveries?" Qi Wuya looked around Wang's house.

"The technique is skillful. All the wounds are left by a single knife. Even the cut tongue seems to have been cut off while screaming. There is almost no trace of direct contact. It must be a master among the masters. I am so old I've never seen such a neat technique before." Wu Zuo said with a sigh.

"When did you find out?" Qi Wuya heard the word scream.

"Someone heard screams last night, and someone went to the Yamen to report the crime this morning. It should have happened last night." Wu Zuo speculated.

When Qi Wuya knew that it was these two families, he felt that this matter would not be so simple. Who could do it, but these two families.

At this time, the head arrester Yan who was in charge of this case came. His name was Yan Zhengsheng. He had been an arrester in Mincheng for three or four years. He had a good reputation in Mincheng. With Qi Wuya here, there has never been such a big case in Mincheng.

"Brother Wu Ya." Yan Tutou came in and saluted Qi Wuya with fists cupped. The two were about the same age, and they were always called brothers.

"What's the situation with you?" Qi Wuya looked at Yan Butou.

"No, nothing was lost in the house, as if no one had touched anything here, but the murderer was too cruel, even a child would not be spared." Yan Zhengsheng said with some resentment.

Qi Wuya breathed a sigh of relief: "Don't reveal anything about today's situation to the outside world." On the way, he felt that this time was extraordinary.

Yan Zhengsheng was a little strange: "Could it be that Brother Wuya knows something?"

"The spread of such a cruel act will make the people of Mincheng uneasy." Qi Wuya said simply, "I have something to do and I'll see you at night."
