Chapter 19 : The identity of the deceased
Guanshi Cao’s face and neck were scratched, which is probably caused by the deceased. However, this injury cannot be a conviction at all.
What’s more, the cabinet scholar Xu Xianyang is involved. Will Wei Tai dare to arrest people for interrogation?
And Cao Guanshi is not stupid. He pleaded guilty to death, and he would not plead guilty to torture him to extract a confession.
Xiao Rui sighed, and said to Xiao Yan: “You can’t get rid of the trouble, but first investigate the relationship between the deceased’s family and Xu Haoran. In case they have no relationship, all this is a coincidence. Cao Guanshi climbed other people’s corners at night and was scratched by other men. ?”
Xiao Rui nodded, and then said to Gao Quan: “Before you leave, go to my house to pay some money, and you will find out some truth at all costs.”
“Yes, His Highness Nine.” Gao Quan responded.
The three returned to the city, and Gao Quan immediately set off for Luzhou.
There are still eight days to complete the task, and there is not much time left for Gao Quan.
Xiao Rui started to study day by day again, and he stopped asking for leave, and was focused on class, which made Dr. Jin very uncomfortable.
Another seven days have passed.
The dusty Gao Quan finally rushed back to the capital before the gate was closed.
“His Royal Highness, the villain is back.” Gao Quan looked haggard, and it seemed that he was exhausted from riding a long time on the road.
“Go and eat some food, take a hot bath, and take a break.” Xiao Rui said.
Gao Quan shook his head and said, “The villain is not tired.”
“I’m not in a hurry, just because I sent someone to call Xiao Jiu, you go and rest.” Xiao Rui said hard.
Gao Quan then went down to wash.
Xiao Yan rushed over quickly, and after half an hour, Gao Quan simply squinted for a while and woke up.
“What did the investigation reveal?” Xiao Yan asked urgently.
Xiao Rui patted Xiao Yan and said, “Don’t worry, let Gao Quan speak from the beginning and speak slowly.”
Gao Quan said in detail: “His Royal Highness, the villain rushed to Luzhou, knowing that there is no information to investigate the deceased’s family alone, so he started with Xu Haoran. It has only been three months since he returned to Beijing. The judges who were transferred back to Beijing were very impressed. He had a good reputation, was gentle and casual, had no bureaucracy, and he was aware of the people’s voice. He was a good official who asked for orders for the people. I visited the residence where Xu Haoran lived and asked about him. Neighbors around him say that he is simple and simple, focused on government affairs, he is not married, and his life is not chaotic, and he has never seen any woman he brought home. Just when the minion thought the clue was broken, he had an idea. , I found Xu Haoran’s assistant officer under his command.”
“The villain first arrived in Luzhou and asked him directly about Xu Haoran’s news. Naturally, the man refused to say, and even arrested me. The villain had no choice but to use eight thousand taels of silver bills as bait to let him confide the truth. ”
“Hearing from this person, Xu Haoran is indeed gentle, casual, gentle and elegant, and he is from the capital. Who does not admire him in Luzhou’s upper and lower boudoirs? But Xu Haoran never touches flowers and has good character.”
“However, just over half a month after Xu Haoran was transferred, suddenly a woman held her child and found the Luzhou government office, saying that she was looking for Xu Haoran. At that time, Xu Haoran had already returned to Beijing and saw him go crazy, so she drove her away.”
“The woman hugged her child for a long time in front of the government office. She looked silly. The officer used to do things with Xu Haoran. When she returned home, seeing her in despair, she went to ask a few questions. The woman only said she was from Tian’an County. Xu Haoran had something important, but the others refused to say it. The Zuoguan told the woman that Xu Haoran had returned to Beijing, and seemed to have gone to Beijing to become a kiss. Then the desperate woman wailed and ran away with the baby in her arms.”
Gao Quan said here, Xiao Rui and Xiao Yan sat up straight, and then, they started to get to the point.
“The villain immediately rushed to Tian’an County to find the identity of the woman, and after some inquiries, he finally asked that there was a family member of Wang’s family in Tian’an County who went to visit relatives in the capital, but they have not returned. These five people are the Wang family and their sons, The youngest daughter, besides, the eldest daughter was born unmarried. This is a scandal in Tian’an County, so I know the situation of this family as soon as I inquire about it. I have used the portrait of the deceased to inquire, and the deceased is indeed the royal family. ”
“The Wang family is just ordinary people, not a wealthy family. It wasn’t until after the baby was born that they suddenly became rich. They bought a good house, a large group of servants and maids, and they were generous. But from a hierarchical point of view, it is impossible for Wang’s daughters to interact with Xu Haoran. Involved in contact, so the villain did several investigations, but did not find out how they met, nor did it find out whether the child was Xu Haoran.”
“Your Highness, the villain only found out this information.”
Gao Quan apologized.
Xiao Rui patted him on the shoulder and said with a smile: “Time is running out. It is not easy to find these things. At least the identity of the deceased has been determined. However, you just said that the baby belongs to the eldest daughter of the Wang family, how about her? ”
“It seems that the child was born and died.” Gao Quan said.
Xiao Rui nodded, feeling that the relationship is confusing.
“These information can’t convict Xu Haoran at all!” Xiao Yan said angrily.
Xiao Rui said: “The deceased’s identity is confirmed, so their purpose of coming to the capital can also be determined, just to find Xu Haoran. Regardless of whether the baby boy is his own flesh and blood, when the royal family arrives in the capital, the Xu family arranges to live. Therefore, no information could be found in the inn, guest house, or house. Later, for some reason, the Wang family hurriedly left, and was later chased by Cao Guan, who strangled the four of them to death, and the baby was suffocated.”
“Why kill them? There is no reason. Even if the child is Xu Haoran, he will marry the princess, without killing the royal family. The baby’s mother has passed away. In addition, Xu Haoran arranged for Cao Guanshi’s hands. , Or Xu Xianyang arranged it?” Xiao Yan asked. UU Reading www.uukanshu.com
Xiao Rui nodded, he checked the system, and the task was still not prompted to complete, so even if he found out the identity of the deceased, but did not find out the reason for the killing, he still did not complete the task.
Tomorrow is the deadline for the task, what should I do?
Xiao Rui had a headache.
“Would you like to lead the snake out of the cave?” Xiao Rui said.
“Brother Seven, do you want to go to Xu Haoran and just say what he said?” Xiao Yan was startled.
Xiao Rui nodded.
Xiao Yan hurriedly said: “No! If someone else is our prince, I am afraid that he is a ghost. But Xu Xianyang is a cabinet scholar, even if we are the prince, we can’t afford to offend him.”
“Is there any other good way?” Xiao Rui asked.
Xiao Yan shook his head.
“It’s done!”
Xiao Rui stood up. This time he was not for advent value, but for the five lives that died innocently. Among them were the infant babies!
“I’ll accompany you.” Xiao Yan shouted.
“You can just be my think tank, this kind of thing shouldn’t be too many people to come forward. You have to help me guard against Xu Xianyang.” Xiao Rui refused.
Xiao Yan patted his chest and said, “Seven brother, don’t worry.”
Xiao Rui flattened the rice paper and asked Xiang Gaoquan: “What are the names of the two daughters of the Wang family?”
“The eldest daughter is named Wang Qingling, and the younger is named Wang Qingyin. Oh, yes, they are the same people, they look almost exactly the same.” Gao Quan thought of this and said quickly.
Xiao Rui nodded, and wrote the three words Wang Qingyin on the paper, and then handed it to Gao Quan: “If you send it to Xu’s house tomorrow morning, you will say that I will invite Master Xu to have a glass of water and wine in Cuiyun Tower.”
“Yes, Your Highness.” Gao Quan collected the note, and walked out.
Xiao Rui looked at the flickering candlelight and narrowed his eyes.
