Chapter 351
Wang Hua thought to herself, what's wrong?
He didn't expect that this girl from Baiting regarded him as an idol, thinking about it day and night, and fainted from excitement.

He hurried over, helped her up, pinched her, and revived her.

Bai Ting directly fell into his arms and couldn't get up, and asked in a daze: "Is this servant dreaming?"

Wang Hua helped her to a chair and sat down, and said with a smile: "You are not dreaming, can you help us keep this secret this time?"

This was something he had thought about over and over again. This time he came to get straight to the point, but he didn't expect them to come so low-key, but they attracted some people's attention.Besides, he didn't want to come up with more murders, which needed someone's help, so considering Bai Ting's character, he chose her as the candidate.

Bai Ting continued as if in a dream, without answering.

Wang Hua poured her a cup of tea, but she took it calmly and took a sip before she realized: "How dare the servant girl ask Ambassador Wang to pour tea?"

"It's okay, come on, let me explain some things. Did you also hear that the imperial court issued an imperial edict to use food stamps to level the price of food, and distributed some disaster relief food to help the victims?"

Bai Ting nodded.However, the Disaster Relief Food just started distributing relief porridge outside the city today. Some people have received food stamps for the cheap food, but the cheap food has not yet arrived.

"But this is the end of the day, and the food stored by the imperial court is not enough to supply everyone in the world. If merchants continue to hoard, the imperial court will still be short of food. At that time, the situation will be out of control."

This is the era of the private economy, and the imperial court has no way to forcibly expropriate private grain for storage. It can be expropriated, but it can be expropriated at the market price, which is impossible at the current market price.If forced to purchase at low prices for self-use and distributed to the common people, it will arouse the resistance of all hoarders and rich people.Even Lao Wu didn't have the courage to completely suppress the seven surnames and ten families, let alone so many social elites.In Li Shimin's hands, he didn't have the guts.Therefore, a breakthrough is needed to kill chickens and scare monkeys, so that these big families will become less courageous in hoarding and start selling food on their own initiative.

This is the fundamental, otherwise, not to mention the seventeen states, the whole country may face a crisis.

Hitting a snake and hitting seven inches is the real reason why he came to Huazhou, but he didn't say these words to Bai Ting.Even if I say it, I won't understand it too well.

Wang Hua added: "Because there were no similar incidents before, the imperial court neglected this matter. Later, it was discovered that not only large merchants from all over the country participated in this matter, especially in Huazhou, they intercepted a large amount of grain."

Hearing this, Bai Ting's face changed. Hebei is the most important place in the world, and it is safe to go to northern Xinjiang. However, because of the small land and large population, Hebei has not been self-sufficient in food. Especially in recent years, the country has been stable and the population has increased. Especially this year, cotton is grown in many places, and food shortages are even more severe.In the past, most of the food was transferred from the south of the Yangtze River.The channel is also mainly from the north of the Grand Canal, and is transferred to various parts of Hebei via the Yongji Canal.
If grain is intercepted in Huazhou, not only Jizhou, Shenzhou, Xingzhou, Youzhou, etc., but also counties such as Bozhou and Dezhou in the lower reaches of the Yellow River will have a more serious crisis.

Looking at her expression, Wang Hua was very satisfied. He said, "Miss Bai Ting is very smart, so she understands the stakes in the middle. This incident should have happened since the first lunar month. This is the background. Then I will talk about Liu Boss."

"Master Liu?" Bai Ting asked in surprise, wasn't he killed by a curse?Could it be that there is some secret in it.

"It's Mr. Liu. The cause of his death was not what you imagined. According to some information I got, there were other reasons for the quarrel. The cause of his death was because he might have mastered some people's secrets, so he was killed by someone. Some people have murdered and murdered them."

Speaking of this, Wang Hua sneered, he didn't know if there were ghosts and gods, even if there were, it would be like the Taoists said, the way of heaven is far away and ruthless, and they don't care about the right and wrong in the world.Of course, this is an era that focuses on self-cultivation. The knowledge of the previous life is unimaginable to people in this era, but some incredible things in this era are also considered by the previous life to be legends and myths.But those are just some abilities beyond ordinary people, such as the Taoism that Li Xuejun showed him.But what effective curse?If you do something to yourself, you will accept it all!
"Then why did so many people die behind?"

"They were looking for something. This kind of thing was left by Mr. Liu. If this kind of thing is obtained by the court, it may give them a fatal blow. That's why they frantically questioned the relatives of Mr. Liu's family. If they didn't get it, they would kill again. Silence. Later they suspected that Liu Yunniang had brought her to Qiufei Baiyufang, so they cursed and killed people, and began to appear in Qiufei Baiyufang in large numbers. Including the Yulian girl you mentioned, they still thought that letting Liu Yun hide in the courtyard was a dislike for jade. Miss Lian stayed in that courtyard, which hindered their search for things, so she continued to kill until no one dared to live in it."

In fact, this news was not obtained by the court, but by Wang Hua using his own strength.That's why I used the method of building plank roads in the open and crossing Chencang secretly, and secretly got off the boat in Zhengzhou and came to Huazhou.

But his intention is not only to give justice to Liu Zhubo, but the most important thing is to kill chickens and scare monkeys at the root of food prices.There is another important purpose.

"Then why did they kill Qiugui?"

"The reason is very simple, because we don't know where we came from," he sighed again at this point. He lived in the brothel, which was hidden from the eyes and ears, so no one would think that he would live in the brothel.But Li Chongjun was a little too arrogant along the way.I persuaded myself, but some things revealed by his essence still make people doubt.He continued: "Because I deliberately pointed at Liu Yun's courtyard and brought up this topic, some people came into view. So this happened, but our upstairs was heavily guarded last night, so he had to kill Qiugui , to scare us away. This is now speculation, and of course other reasons cannot be ruled out."

In fact, this time, just in case, he brought a lot of people here, but in order not to attract attention, he dispersed and lived in other places, but the dozen or so people he brought to Qiufei Baiyufang were the top experts. .Not only his safety, but mainly Li Chongjun's safety. If there is a mistake, he will have eight mouths, and he will not be able to tell.Don't doubt that these people don't have the guts.

"But this servant still doesn't understand, you have never been to Huazhou, why are you so familiar with the terrain of Huazhou?" Bai Ting asked puzzled.

"Simple, when I came here, I have seen all the maps of Huazhou."

"So that's the case," Bai Ting couldn't laugh or cry, it wasn't so, it was because he was too stupid.But she asked again: "But the way those people died is really strange."

"It's not surprising," Wang Hua said, calling a guard and whispering in his ear.

At this time, even Li Chongjun was watching Wang Hua. If there was a murder by the river god, he would not listen to Wang Hua's fooling around, and would leave Huazhou immediately.

After a while, the guard came upstairs with a bucket of water, and another guard brought a water bag and some mud and sand.I don't know what they are going to do, but I can vaguely feel that it is related to this curse case.

The guard began to put the mud and sand into the bucket, stirred it up, and poured it into the water bag.

Wang Hua pointed to the water bag and said: "In fact, the cause of death is very simple. Just one such water bag is enough. Block the person's mouth so that he cannot make a cry, and then forcefully stuff it into the water bag. The consequences are just like the Qiugui you saw. It's like death."

After saying this, everyone suddenly realized that not only that, but once a person's head enters the water bag, because the water is stuffed in the mouth, he cannot utter a cry for help.

But Bai Ting asked again: "Since it's so simple, why didn't Wuzuo find out? Could it be that some of them colluded with those bad officials?"

After finishing speaking, he immediately covered his mouth. Saying this by himself is tantamount to questioning Wang Hua.

Wang Hua said: "This is exactly what I will talk about next."

He pointed to the water bag again and said, "From a legal point of view, I haven't figured it out either. Have you seen this water bag? The victims are all ordinary people. It's not difficult to choke them and stuff them into the water bag." , it is possible that only one person with greater power can do it, and the murderer is not alone, it may be a powerful organization. The difficulty is the next step."

As he spoke, he walked to the water bag and asked the guards to loosen the water bag. Now the water bags are all made of animal skins.Therefore, as soon as the guard loosened his hands in front, the water bag in the back collapsed.Water began to spread on the floor.

Wang Hua said: "The difficult thing is the process before and after stuffing people into the water bag. If you do what I said, you must hold the water bag in your hand and not let go. In this case, two people must cooperate. One person opens the water bag One man forced the victim into the water bag with a rope attached to the mouth. But there is another way, leaning the water bag against a corner so that the water in the water bag does not flow out."

As he said that, he also made a demonstration action, leaning the water bag with half a bag of water against the corner, and then came to a guard and stuffed his mouth with a cloth strip.Of course, this is a demonstration action.Then one arm held the guard's arms so that he could not struggle, lifted him up, and came to the water bag.

Putting it down, he said: "Of course, this is a method. If it is an acquaintance, it would be easier to sleep on the same bed with him. When he falls asleep, put the water bag on his head suddenly. But At this time, we must pay attention to one thing, the water bag cannot be full. Just like now, half a bag of water. But after the human body enters, it happens to fill up this space. It can also create the illusion of drowning and death again. What happened next was a bit confusing.”

As he spoke, he poured out all the water in the water bag, put it on a guard's head, and said, "Song Sibao, what would you do if you encountered such an actual situation now?"

When the guard named Song Sibao heard this, he immediately began to struggle.

Wang Hua took down the water bag and said, "Everyone doesn't want to die. In such a situation, no matter whether it is a human or a ghost, they will struggle. So in order to choke people to death in the water bag, The rope of the water bag must be fastened to prevent a large amount of water from spreading out from the mouth of the water bag due to the victim’s struggle. If not, since the person was strangled to death, there would be no illusion of drowning. The autopsy found that The clues will inevitably make this cursed legend come to naught."

Everyone nodded together. If something is wrong, a murder case involving more than a dozen lives, and the imperial court officials were involved, it would be a shocking case.This is obviously not the result the planners wanted.

"But because of this, there will inevitably be a strangle mark on the neck of the deceased. The same strangle mark will also make people suspicious. But I looked at Qiugui's body yesterday, and obviously did not see this strangle mark on her neck mark."

When Wang Hua said this, everyone was once again confused.

"But there is a way. What everyone sees is this water bag. Maybe this water bag is big enough to hold half of a person's body. The rope at the mouth of the water bag is tied tightly around the victim's waist. What will happen? ?Because the waist is not the place to breathe, the force-bearing area is larger, the pressure is smaller, and the strangle marks are shallower," Wang Hua said a few words here, which made everyone a little confused, but the general principle is still clear.Wang Hua added: "Also, each of us is using a belt, even if the post-mortem examiner sees this mark, he will think it is the belt."

Seeing the original appearance of the crowd, Wang Hua shook his head and said, "But here lies the problem. Let's look at this water bag again. If it is like what I did with Song Sibao just now, no matter how hard you are, you will be in the water. Before the bag is put on the head, all the water will pour out. So there are only two ways left, one is to put the person’s body down and forcefully pour it into the water bag. But this is impossible, as I also analyzed just now Yes, this water bag is not small. Coupled with the height of the person himself, he wants to complete this work easily unless he stands on a bearded chair. It is not impossible, but in that case, the variability is too great and the risk increases gone."

Most people can't understand this sentence, only some skilled guards can understand this truth.With a large living person who was struggling constantly, he couldn't make him cry out, and then turned him upside down, walked to the bearded chair, and forced the cloth water bag.It can be done, but at least two or more people are required, and the difficulty is not small.

"If they choose this way, they are irrational. Therefore, there is only one last way. Drag the water bag to the bed and lean against the corner of the bed. If you want to force the victim to question, what method may be used, for the time being. No matter whether there is or not After questioning, the water bag was dragged to the bed, and the victim was stuffed into the water bag in a half-lying way. In this way, because the water bag is lying on the back, a small part of the water will inevitably pour out. Although I didn’t see the situation of the previous victims, but this morning I saw a large wet area on Qiugui’s bed.”

As soon as Wang Hua reminded, everyone really remembered it.

"But in this way, there must be more than half of the bag of water in the water bag. Think again, the water bag must be able to fit a person below the waist, this width and height. Even because of the variability of the volume of the water bag and water, the shoulders The water bag can be opened, and the waist can also become oval to reduce the volume. But a person’s waistline must be stuffed in. Considering the waistline of some fat people, it should be at least two feet nine or nearly three feet, and the height from head to waist is three feet. The water in the water bag must be more than two feet long. For such a large volume, there must be at least two hundred catties of water.”

This is Wang Hua's consideration of plasticity, otherwise, if it is a true cylinder, the weight of water required must be at least [-] catties.

Wang Hua didn't say anything more, but everyone understood that if the murderer was carrying a water bag weighing more than two hundred catties, there would be many people carrying it.I don't want anyone to notice that some of the victims are still upstairs, some like the one who died in the early morning of Qiugui, and there are many people living around.This is impossible.Especially the fluidity of the water, when the person is carried on the back, the water bag will also shake with the slightest movement of the person, making it more difficult to carry it.

Afterwards, except for some water stains on the bed and a little water poured down by the victim.The remaining water in the water bag should also be carried out and poured out in an inconspicuous place.Only in this way can a complicated and confusing false picture be created.This is not difficult, it is simply impossible to achieve.

There is nothing light in the distance.It's like Wang Hua's strength is not small, but when he rescued Dafeng from the Zheng family in Xingyang, he tied the son of the Zheng family out of the city.That young master weighed so much that Wang Hua was too tired to bear it.Not to mention a water bag weighing more than 200 kilograms.Especially last night, the guards Wang Hua and Li Chongjun brought over were all top experts.Although their main task was to protect the safety of Wang Hua and Li Chongjun upstairs, a large living man, carrying a load of more than 200 kilograms, climbed over the courtyard wall, walked into the courtyard, and then walked into the small building. , if these guards haven't noticed yet, they can hit the wall and kill them.

Wang Hua said again: "If this issue is clarified, the case will not be far from the truth. Because of this impossible explanation, Zuozuo neglected this point from the legal point of view. And if I guessed correctly, The fact that Liu Zhubo offended the God of the River did not come out after the Spring Festival."

Bai Ting thought for a long time, then nodded strangely, and said: "Yes, it seems that I only heard about this rumor after April."

"That's it. It's possible that they didn't really have a murderous intent on Liu Zhubo until after April. It's just this time that Liu Qingdu's breach of the embankment has problems."

As he spoke, Wang Hua took a pen and drew a map on the paper.Unlike the previous life, the state city of Huazhou was in the south of the Yellow River, while the later Huaxian County was nearly a hundred miles north of the Yellow River.But Wang Hua didn't know whether the current state city of Huazhou was the location of the county seat of Huaxian later.

Then he said: "As you can see, the Yellow River started from Huazhou and made a small slope to the southeast. The water surface in this section is narrow, so the area around Liuqingdu is often affected by floods. But since Liuqingdu, the Yellow River has turned to the northeast. It has also become vast. But this time, the place where the breach did not burst from a narrow place, but from a wide place, but it is precisely because of this that there is a high ground behind the breach, forming a It is a natural small dike, so nearly 10 people were injured. It was a fluke. If the embankment burst on it, not only would more people be affected, but even the city of Huazhou might be flooded. Of course, it may be a coincidence. Let’s take a look at the place of the Spring Festival.”

The place of the spring festival was not far from the place where the embankment burst, and because of this, everyone believed in the reason for Liu Zhi's death even more.Now some disaster victims are starting to hate Liu Zhi.

Wang Hua laughed at himself and said, "It's just a coincidence. If it's man-made, they have a little conscience."

Everyone was puzzled.If it was man-made, 10,000+ people were homeless due to the embankment breach this time, and many people were drowned by the flood because of the sudden embankment breach.This is even worse than animals.Why does Wang Hua still say that they talk about conscience?
