Be a master through ancient times

"Master, it's not good!"

The housekeeper of the Lin family broke into the study in a panic, and shouted at Lin Futong who was sitting behind the desk reading official documents.

"How decent are you? Could it be that the sky is falling?" Lin Futong looked at him displeased.

The housekeeper looked anxious, no different from the sky falling.He trembled all over and replied: "Master, something is wrong! A group of people came from outside the house and surrounded us!"

Lin Fu said in surprise: "What did you say? Where are the government soldiers? Where are the government officials? Are they all dead? Who is the crowd outside? Could it be that old man Zhuwei?"

The housekeeper shook his head again and again: "They are stopping outside right now! They are not the people sent by Marshal Zhu, but the people brought by the imperial envoy! He said to let the master go out, he, he, he...he wants to try the case!"

At this moment, Lin Futong's heart was beating like a drum, and he couldn't think of any plan at all.

The outside of the mansion was also very lively at this time. The masters brought by Mu Yuanxiu surrounded the outside of the Lin mansion, and the people of the Lin mansion watched them vigilantly with their knives in hand, for fear that they would break in by surprise.

The common people who watched the excitement outside the mansion pointed at them and kept talking about something.

Mu Yuanxiu was sitting majestically in the carriage in an official uniform. When his eyes met Lin Futong who had stepped out of the mansion, he curled his lips and gave him a sneer.

"Lord Mu, I don't know what I did wrong, but I troubled you to bring such a large group of people to surround my house. No matter how bad I am, I am the governor of a province appointed by the Holy Majesty. If you do this, do you not regard the Majesty as the governor?" Put it in your eyes?" Lin Fu went out together and put a big hat on Mu Yuanxiu.If he can't get this place back, he will have no face to be an official in the future.

Facing Lin Futong's anger, Mu Yuanxiu didn't take it seriously at all: "Your Majesty Lin is serious. I have a great grace of the emperor, and I was appointed by the Holy Majesty as an imperial envoy on the southern tour. How could I not take the Holy Majesty seriously?" What? It's just a matter of duty, and the siege is just in case. Presumably Mr. Lin should not care about this official. The murder case that happened in the Governor's Yamen last night was related to the court officials, so it should not be ignored. There are still some unknowns in it. I need the cooperation of Master Lin, please."

More than words, Yakui, who was in the Spring and Autumn House back then, was naturally not afraid.They are all hand-picked by the Holy Majesty, and the status of imperial envoys is higher than that of other officials.With the Shangfang sword in hand that "like my presence in person", unless it is someone who is planning to plot rebellion, even princes and princes have to give in to three points.

Lin Futong naturally understood what he meant, but they definitely had no evidence for what happened last night, and he had already handed over the evidence of Qi Luzhi's violations of law and discipline for so many years to the person handling the case. There's not much to blame either.

After thinking about this point, Lin Futong relaxed a little. Although his attitude towards Mu Yuanxiu was not as aggressive as before, he was still a little bit dissatisfied.

"What happened last night, the official who should be accounted for has already explained everything, and the evidence is also stored in the governor's office. I don't know what else Mr. Mu wants to know? But you are an imperial envoy, so naturally we will do what you say It’s just that next time, you don’t need to be so troublesome, you just need to send someone to say hello, how dare I not go?”

After hearing what he said, the people around were a little bit aggrieved, thinking that the imperial envoy from the capital was a bit bullying.Lin Futong was very happy to observe this.

Mu Yuanxiu also knew that he was taking eye drops, but he didn't think there was any need to explain. After the governor Lin was convicted, the people would understand what was right and what was wrong.

Mu Yuanxiu sat in the middle of the lobby at the governor's yamen, looked at the corpses placed below, and asked, "Wu Zuo, tell me about the cause of Master Qi's death."

"Yes! Master Qi died at the first hour of Mao this morning. The cause of death was a chest trauma. The wound was about two inches deep. It was stabbed into the heart with a dagger and he died on the spot." The conclusion of the autopsy was true.

"Did the deceased commit suicide?"

"Returning to my lord, during the autopsy, the villain saw that the deceased held a dagger in his right hand and stabbed it straight into the heart. His hand was stained with blood. He should have committed suicide."

"From what you can see, how much strength is needed to insert the dagger into such a deep place? Can someone who hurts the tendons in the wrist do it?"

Wu Zuo shook his head: "Tendons are where strength gathers. If you are injured, you will never be able to penetrate so deep."

Lin Futong listened very strangely, every single word was trying to excuse him, who didn't know that he was stabbed in the arm by Qi Lu?What is this Mu Yuanxiu trying to do?

While he was thinking, he suddenly heard a loud shout: "In that case, Master Lin, can you plead guilty?"

Lin Futong suddenly raised his head, and saw that everyone was staring at him.He quickly changed his expression, and asked puzzledly: "I don't know what Master Mu means? What is my crime?"

"Just now what Wu Zuo said is all evidence, do you still dare to deny it? It is clear that you killed Master Qi."

"Hehe, Mr. Mu, just now you made it clear that those with injured tendons and veins can't concentrate on their wrists. May I ask how I stabbed the dagger so deep?"

"You mean, Mr. Qi stabbed the dagger into his heart more than two inches with his right hand?" Mu Yuanxiu asked emphatically on the "right hand" and "two inches".

Lin Futong nodded without hesitation, but seeing Mu Yuanxiu looking at him with a victorious expression, he immediately had an ominous premonition in his heart.

Sure enough, in the next second, Mu Yuanxiu called Wu Zuo up and whispered a few words, and then Wu Zuo went to the back with a look of hesitation and took out his own tools, preparing for the autopsy in court.Because the scene was too cruel, the Yacha used white cloth to cover the surrounding area.

While waiting for the autopsy, Lin Fu was in a state of confusion. He didn't know what Mu Yuanxiu discovered to be so sure.But after careful recollection, he still felt that he should have not shown any flaws. This should be because the surname Mu was playing tricks and wanted him to show his feet.

The exclamation of the people outside was louder than louder. Although they saw nothing, they were still inexplicably excited.After all, they had never seen a direct autopsy in court before.

Not long after, Wu Zuo got out of the white cloth, and the white cloth that was used to cover it was directly covered over the corpse.

"Are there any conclusions?"

"Returning to your lord, it is indeed as your lord said, the deceased did not commit suicide." After Wu Zuo finished speaking, the surroundings were boisterously noisy.Just now, Wu Zuo overturned his own confession, and the case should have been closed with suicide in fear of crime, but it suddenly turned into homicide. How can this not surprise everyone?What is the reason that made Wuzuo change his mouth in a short period of time?

Lin Futong's heart beat violently again. If he hadn't been in good health, such ups and downs of emotions might have killed him on the spot.

"Tell me about your discovery." Mu Yuanxiu raised his eyebrows.

"The villain just now carefully inspected the deceased's right hand and found that there was a scar on the top of his wrist, which was usually covered with a sleeve, so it was not very conspicuous. When he opened the scar, it was found that his tendons had been cut off, although The treatment was done properly, but this hand can no longer use much strength. This also means that the wound on the deceased's chest should have been stabbed in by someone else, and the deceased himself could not have done it." Wu Zuo was a little ashamed, and logically their autopsy should be careful A few, but this time the wound was really obvious, and the governor insisted that he committed suicide, so he didn't check other places much.

The other people present gasped after hearing this, and Qi Qi shifted his gaze to Lin Futong, just in time to notice the unnatural look on his face.

"Isn't it really Master Lin who killed him?"

"Who knows? But didn't Wu Zuo just say that it is impossible for the deceased to poke in. I think it's probably Mr. Lin."

"Didn't Lord Lin himself be injured?"

The endless discussions poured into Lin Futong's ears, which made him feel violent and wanted to destroy.But here, he could only swallow the anger back.

"Master Lin, did you hear clearly what Wu Zuo said just now? There were only the two of you at the scene of the murder. You would never say that there was a third person who killed Master Qi, right?"

"Lord Mu is joking. My right arm is injured, which is obvious to all. If the deceased can't get in, can I get in? It's ridiculous!" Lin Fu's anger after being wronged also aroused some approval. .

"It's true that your right hand is injured, but why is this not your plan to escape? You stabbed Master Qi to death when he was unprepared, and then scratched yourself with a knife, trying to pretend that he committed suicide in fear of crime But who knows that Bai Mi also has one thing, Mr. Qi was attacked by bandits three years ago, and his right hand was seriously injured and he couldn't use his strength."

"Hahaha, it's nonsense, these are just your imaginations. If Mr. Qi's hand is injured, his handwriting will definitely change, but the official documents he submitted in the past few years are the same as before. I have to doubt it. You bought Wu Zuo to frame me." Lin Futong retorted loudly.

"It seems that Master Qi didn't really care about you. You don't know. He was called a child prodigy when he was a child in his hometown, because his left hand is as flexible as his right hand. Whether it is writing poems or painting, What the left hand can do is the same as the right hand. That's why he kept the secret of the injury. Otherwise, officials with hand diseases who can't approve official documents have to report their old age and return home."

Mu Yuanxiu watched his face turn pale gradually, smiled slightly, and continued, "If you don't believe me, let Wu Zuo test whether there are traces of pen use all the year round on his left hand."

"Since you said that his left hand is as flexible as his right hand, then he can use his left hand to kill himself!" Lin Fu said at the same time, walking in a daze.

Sure enough, after he finished speaking, he immediately got a sneer.

"You mean, after Mr. Qi stabbed his chest with his left hand, he then changed his hand to hold the dagger? Hehe, Mr. Lin must have been guilty of a guilty conscience and didn't examine the corpse carefully, otherwise you would definitely find out that his The left hand is clean, not even a trace of blood!"

Mu Yuanxiu looked at his resentful expression, and threw down the last heavy hammer: "If Master Lin still refuses to admit it, I will ask you to check the wound on your wrist. You scratch yourself with a knife in your left hand, and you can see the wound Is the trend completely different from someone else's stabbing?"

Everyone turned to look at Lin Futong to see what else he had to say.Unexpectedly, Lin Futong gritted his teeth and sneered twice.

"That's right, Master Qi was killed by this officer! I confronted him that night, and when he saw that the bribery and murder had been exposed, he began to plead for mercy. Seeing that I refused to agree, he became murderous, and took out the dagger from his chest Then he stabbed at me directly. I dodged left and right, and was unable to parry for a while, and was almost stabbed by him. In a moment of desperation, I grabbed the knife and stabbed him while he was unprepared. Unexpectedly, this time Just stab him to death." At this point, Lin Futong burst into tears, obviously remorseful for this matter.

"Although I was forced to do it, I was so flustered when I killed someone. I lost my head for a moment and came up with a bad idea...I didn't expect the imperial envoy to find out the truth. I pleaded guilty."

He pleaded guilty quickly, but Mu Yuanxiu was not very happy, because he found that the people around him started to intercede for him.

"Master Imperial Envoy, Lord Lin is a good official. Although he killed someone, he was doing it for the people! Besides, if someone wants to kill him, he must be ordered to fight back, right?"

"Yes, if this is the case, wouldn't the person who will be killed in the future be wronged?"

"Master Lin is protecting himself, it's understandable!"

The common people talked a lot, obviously they agreed with Lin Futong's words just now, and Lin Futong's external image has always been good, so Mu Yuanxiu was a little embarrassed. Even if he was convicted of such a case, he might finally send it to the Ministry of Criminal Justice for review At that time, there will be a retrial of not guilty.

Why is this damn Lin Futong so difficult? !Mu Yuanxiu unconsciously looked towards the crowd, hoping to see Chu Ci's figure.The direction they had negotiated before was actually led by Lin Futong, and it is not known whether Chuci has a way to break the situation...
