Tang Dynasty detective

Chapter 43 Grievance

"stop!"

At this moment, an old man tremblingly walked out of the Yang Mansion with the support of several maids.

When Yang Su saw the old man, he immediately cried out, "Grandpa, save me!"

Seeing the old man come out, Liang Xiu hurriedly bowed and saluted: "Old Yang, why did you come out?"

Not only Liang Xiu, but even the arrogant and domineering Huangfu Kun also bowed to the old man.

"What's going on here? It's unbelievable that you, as officials of the imperial court, are fighting in a scuffle at the street!" The old man's voice trembled, but his tone was full of majesty and righteousness.

With a dark face, Huangfu Kun said in an angry voice: "Old Yang, Yang Su has harmed Wei'er, and I'm going to take him to the yamen!"

"Grandpa, I didn't kill anyone, they slandered me!" Yang Su shouted in panic.

Elder Yang obviously didn't expect this kind of thing to happen. After a moment of silence, he slowly glanced at the crowd and said tremblingly, "You say he killed someone, but do you have evidence?"

Huangfu Kun frowned, pointed at Li Canghai and said, "Old Yang, this person is in charge of investigating this case, and all the evidence is in his hands."

Li Canghai scolded Huangfu Kun in his heart, this person is simply brazen, to paraphrase Zhuge Liang's words, that is, I have never seen such a brazen person!
In desperation, Li Canghai had no choice but to stand up, cupped his hands and said, "In the case of Huangfuwei's murder, I have indeed found out the murderer, and the murderer was Yang Su."

Hearing what he said, Liang Xiu hurried to his side and said in a low voice: "Cang Hai, this matter is of great importance, do you have conclusive evidence?"

Li Canghai nodded, and said in a deep voice, "Don't worry, my lord, I have investigated this matter thoroughly."

The Yamen of Luoyang Prefecture was promoted to hear the case of Huangfu Wei's murder today, and many noble families came to join in the fun.

In the Yamen of Luoyang Mansion, Liang Xiushen is the chief judge, sitting high above the main hall, with Huangfu Kun and Yang Lao sitting on both sides.

There was a corpse covered with a white cloth in the main hall, and Li Canghai stood in front of the hall, as if he was resting with his eyes closed, but he rubbed his temples from time to time, faintly feeling a little dizzy.

After Liang Xiu took the gavel, the government servants on both sides immediately dragged out a long tail and shouted "mighty".

"Bring the prisoner to court!" Liang Xiu slapped the gavel and shouted in a deep voice.

Yang Su walked into the main hall. Seeing his grandfather sitting in the hall, he felt relieved, knelt down and shouted: "My lord, I'm wronged! I didn't kill anyone, I'm wronged!"

"Yang Su, whether you are guilty or not is not up to me." After Liang Xiu paused, he said to Li Canghai, "Li Canghai, you said that Yang Su killed Huangfuwei, do you have evidence?"

"My lord, Yang Su and Huangfu Wei are at odds. When it comes to the motive of killing, Yang Su is the most suspect." Li Canghai shook his dizzy head, opened his eyes, and said as he walked to the front of the hall.

Yang Su naturally didn't want to admit that he killed someone, he immediately retorted: "It's a well-known fact that I disagree with Huangfu Wei, how could I be so stupid as to really kill him?"

Everyone felt that what he said was reasonable, the two were at odds with each other, if Huangfu died, he would be the first to be involved, no one would do such a stupid thing.

Li Canghai forcibly pulled himself together, focused his attention, and said in a deep voice, "Because of this, even if you kill Huangfuwei, no one will suspect you."

"You are spitting blood!" Yang Su said angrily.

"Okay, since that's the case, I'll explain your motives again." Li Canghai touched his chin and said, "All the grievances and grievances between you and Huangfuwei stem from a woman named 'Tanxue'. The woman made friends with you, but later she committed suicide because of Huangfu Wei, right?"

A trace of sadness flashed in Yang Su's eyes, and he said with grief and indignation: "Yes, Tanxue and I were deeply affectionate, it's only because I went to Chang'an that year and never took her with me. I didn't know that Tanxue was killed until I came back. Huangfuwei, that beast took away his body, and Tanxue felt that he had betrayed me, so he fell into the river and died."

"Who are you calling a beast?" Hearing Yang Su's words, Huangfu Kun was furious.

"I scolded a beast, why should General Huangfu get angry? Oh, I forgot, Huangfu is only your son, as expected, like a father, like a son!" Yang Su was not afraid of Huangfu Kun at all, instead he sneered sarcastically.

"You!" Huangfu Kun's face was gloomy, and he was about to explode when Liang Xiu stopped him.

Li Canghai rubbed the aching brows, and continued: "So from then on, you have held a grudge and tried everything to fight against him. Finally, one day, you found out that Huangfu Wei was having an affair with Hongyan from Cuihonglou. So you tried your best to get close to Hongyan, and finally snatched Hongyan from Huangfuwei's hands."

"Hmph, as long as it is everything he likes, I will snatch it. Huangfu is only greedy for Hongyan's beauty, but he has never been able to get Hongyan's heart. This son only used a small method to make Hongyan secretly agree with me. Think about it At that time, Huangfuwei's expression made me feel extremely happy in my heart!" Yang Su laughed triumphantly, as if he didn't care about his situation.

"However, the day before the incident, you ransom Hongyan and let her leave Luoyang."

"So what? Hongyan is affectionate and righteous to me, so why not let me redeem her body?" Yang Su admitted it straightforwardly.

Li Canghai coughed, and after a while, he said with a pale face: "The swan geese are just tools you use to deal with Huangfuwei. As long as Huangfuwei is around, you can't let the swan geese go away. However, you suddenly let the geese go." She left, this matter is quite intriguing."

Liang Xiu asked with some doubts, "What's so strange about this matter?"

Li Canghai explained: "He let the swan goose go because the swan geese are no longer useful, and the swan geese are worthless only after Huangfuwei dies. Mr. Yang, am I right or not?"

"You're talking nonsense, how did I know that Huangfu Wei would die?" Yang Su raised her eyebrows and argued vigorously.

"Because, you have already planned to kill Huangfuwei, and you are sure that he will definitely die!" Li Canghai shouted with sharp eyes, changing his previously indifferent expression.

"What evidence do you have to prove that I killed Huangfuwei?" Yang Su shouted tremblingly.

Li Canghai walked up to the corpse and said in a deep voice, "The evidence is this corpse!"

Feeling confused, everyone poked their necks and looked at the corpse.

Li Canghai lifted the white cloth, pointed to the corpse and said, "When the case happened, I checked the corpse carefully. There was no wound on the corpse, and there was no sign of poisoning. I thought it was strange at the time. The way the deceased died reminded me of another The dead bodies also have no wounds, and the dead bodies stiffen immediately after death."

Among the crowd, only Liang Xiu knew what Li Canghai was referring to. His heart moved and he asked, "Did you find out the real cause of death of the deceased?"

Li Canghai nodded, and said in a deep voice: "The real cause of the deceased's death can be said to be unimaginable, but it is also because of this that everything seems so seamless, without even a single flaw."
