Volume 10 Chapter 161
Tang Yin agreed with Guo Jue's words in his heart, but he would not admit it with his mouth. He sneered and said with disapproval: "Huh, read the full text! You are eloquent and eloquent." After speaking, he asked slowly: "Master Guo, Laifu How did you handle the teahouse case?"
Guo Jue said seriously: "All the minor officials have been identified."
"Oh?" Tang Yin was stunned and asked with a smile: "I gave you two days, but you didn't even use a day to find out the true identity of Yin?"
"Yes, His Highness the Wind King." Guo Jueyan said firmly.
Tang Yin stared at him for a moment and said quietly: "Master Guo, I have to remind you not to exaggerate in front of me, otherwise you will be convicted of deceiving the king."
Guo Jue nodded and said, "Wei Chen understands this."
"Yes!" Tang Yin also wanted to see what the so-called true Prime Minister Guo Jue found out. He waved his hand and said, "Get up and speak!"
"Thank you, His Highness Feng Wang." Guo Jue stood up and said in a leisurely manner: "I have found out that the murderers in Laifu Teahouse were all the guards in the guard camp around Yin, His Highness Feng Wang..."
Before he finished speaking, Lu Wen said angrily: "Guo Jue, don't try to frame Yin for trouble!" As he spoke, he raised his hands to Tang Yin and said, "Your Majesty, the last general dares to sacrifice Yin's life for protection. This matter has nothing to do with the guard camp..."
"General Lu, please don't talk too much, otherwise it will be difficult to end the matter later."
"you……"
"Come here, bring the criminal and a confession!" Guo Jie turned around and shouted outside. Following his words, a group of subordinate sergeants walked in one after another. Some of them were holding trays, while others were holding up big men in white prison uniforms. The prisoners they brought were all covered with bruises, their white prison clothes were stained with blood, and they had their heads hanging over each other. It was unclear whether they were awake or unconscious.
After they stood still, Guo Jue pointed to the prisoners with his hand and said: "They are Zhao Hu, Yu Chang, Zhang Tu from the guard camp..." Guo Jue pointed and said, calling out the names of ten people in one breath.
Lu Wen's heart trembled and he looked carefully. Yes, these prisoners were indeed Zhao Hu and others. He stood up in a hurry and said angrily: "Guo Jue, how brave are you to lynching people in my guard camp?"
"The lower official did not use private punishment, but an upright public trial!" As he spoke, Guo Jue reached out to pick up a stack of papers on the tray, shook it with all his strength, and said: "These are all This is their tribute, please read it to His Highness King Feng."
A Yinsan came up to Yin, took the confession of Yin, turned around and handed it to Tang Yin. The latter lowered his head and looked at it. The contents of the poems for Yin were basically the same, but they were different from what he had heard. At that time, the guards said that the wife of the teahouse owner took off her clothes to seduce them. However, in the confession, it was said that the owner's wife seemed to be sick and bedridden. When the guards searched Yin under Yin's order, they saw that his clothes were shabby. After Yin Zheng, he became interested in lust and gave birth to * thoughts.
Tang Yin nodded secretly. The statements in these confessions were obviously more credible. Even if they were not true, they were not far off. While he was thinking about it, Lu Wen shouted unconvinced: "What bullshit confession to Yin? It's either you who cheated or you got it by bending Yin and beating Yin to become Yin!"
As if he had expected that such questions would arouse, Guo Jie said calmly: "These confessions are absolutely credible, because there is someone who can testify to them?"
"who?"
"Prime Minister Qiu!" Guo Jue said confidently: "When the subordinate officials interrogated Zhao Hu and others, they were afraid that the interrogation would make mistakes, so they specially invited Prime Minister Qiu to be an observer. In addition, the subordinate officials interrogated separately. Although Yin was punished, he was not punished. He didn't make a confession, but Zhao Hu and others' confession words were exactly the same. If Qu Yin really beat Yin and became Yin's move, it would be a coincidence! "
"This..." Lu Wen was speechless and turned to look at Qiu Zhen. Tang Yin and everyone else also looked at Qiu Zhen, silently asking him if it was true.
Qiu Zhen admitted generously, nodded and said: "What Mr. Guo said is true. When Mr. Guo interrogated Zhao Hu and others, the truth was indeed present. Mr. Guo's description was also correct. He did separate the prisoners. During the interrogation, there was no confession. There is only one possibility that the confessions made by Zhao Hu and others are exactly the same. They are telling the truth! "
Qiu Zhen, a powerful witness, stood up and spoke, perfectly sealing the mouths of everyone present. Even Lu Wen was like a deflated rubber ball. He swayed a few times, and finally sat back weakly. On the mat.
If the witness Guo Jie invited was someone else, the generals would have dared to express their dissatisfaction and even insult Yin, but this witness happened to be Qiu Zhen, and no one dared to say anything more about the general's immediate superior, Yinsi. What? People bowed their heads one after another and chose to remain silent.
Tang Yin looked at Qiu Zhen with a half-smile, and Yin Yinyang asked strangely: "I wonder when Qiu Xiang and Mr. Guo became so close?" Even more, just as Tang Yin was in the other world, Qiu Zhen smiled and said: "The king appointed Mr. Guo to investigate the case. When Mr. Guo asked me for help, I really couldn't refuse!"
The corners of Tang Yin's mouth moved, as if he was speaking, but he didn't say anything.
Guo Jue cupped his hands and said, "Your Highness, King Feng, Zhao Hu and others have confessed Yin's crime and asked for confession. I wonder how His Highness King Feng will deal with it?"
Tang Yin said absently: "What do you think?"
Guo Jue said categorically: "It should be dealt with according to military law."
Tang Yin stared at Guo Jue, clenching his fists and then clenching them again, speechless for a long time.
Qiu Zhen said in a low voice: "Your Majesty, you are not joking. Since Master Guo was originally responsible for handling the case, and now the results have been obtained, you must not break your trust!"
Tang Yin glared at Qiu Zhen angrily and finally said, "How to deal with it according to military law is left to Mr. Guo!" After saying that, Tang Yin drank the wine in the glass in one gulp. He stood up and said in a dull voice: "Mo Guo's wine is too unpalatable to drink. Today's banquet ends here!"
Seeing that Tang Yin was about to leave the table, everyone stood up one after another, cupped their hands and said, "The general will send you off to your Majesty..."
"Your Highness, King Feng, please wait!" Guo Jue always contradicted everyone. Others were sending Tang Yin off respectfully, but he was the only one who made an uncoordinated sound.
Tang Yin said patiently: "Oh, by the way, I haven't given you a reward yet, have I? You can go to Xiang Qiu to receive a reward of one hundred taels of gold." He waved his hand casually as if dismissing a beggar.
"Wei Chen is not asking for a reward from His Highness Feng Wang." Guo Jue said with a solemn expression: "The reason why Wei Chen retained His Highness Feng Wang is because Wei Chen has not completed the case."
"Any more?" Tang Yin raised his eyebrows.
"That's right!" Guo Jue said: "Last night, Wei Chen went to examine Yin's body and found that the shopkeeper, his wife and the waiter of the teahouse were all killed by swords and other sharp weapons. Only the shopkeeper's daughter was not, but was caused by external forces. The neck was broken and he suffocated to death!"
These words caused a change in the expressions of Tang Yin and the generals present. The one who cut off the shopkeeper's daughter's neck was none other than Tang Yin. More, just now - Tang Yin is in another world
Tang Yin slowly narrowed his eyes and asked quietly: "Are you so sure?"
"Yes, His Highness Feng Wang!" Guo Jue said seriously: "There are obvious scratch marks and bruises on the neck of the shopkeeper's wife. It was obvious that her neck was strangled forcefully. The murderer's method was extremely cruel. , Can Yin is extremely tolerant..."
"Ahem!" Qiu Zhen coughed twice and reminded in a deep voice: "Master Guo, you only need to tell the facts of the case. As for the murderer's methods, you don't need to elaborate!"
Guo Jue was heartbroken and immediately realized that he was too excited and said something he shouldn't have said. He hurriedly raised his hands and said, "What Qiu Xiang reminds me is that this official made a mistake."
The corners of Tang Yin's mouth twitched, and his face was gloomy and ugly. He slowly raised his hand, pointed at Zhao Hu and others, and asked coldly: "Which criminal does Mr. Guo think killed the shopkeeper's wife?"
Guo Jue said: "The murderer is not any of them. Zhao Hu and others have never practiced Lingwu. Even with their brute strength, they cannot break a person's neck bone. Therefore, except Zhao Hu, the murderer is not one of them." Besides Hu and others, there is someone else!”
Tang Yin was about to continue questioning, but Ye Tang, Gao Yu and other generals could not bear it any longer and stood up nervously. Li Yin shouted: "Shut up! Guo Jue, the murderer is obviously Zhao Hu and others. Don't stop." Extraneous problems!”
"Since His Highness Feng Wang asked his subordinates to investigate the case, then he must investigate clearly. When explaining the case, he must also explain clearly Yin Ming Yin Bai Yin Bai. How can you only tell half of it? This is not deceiving the emperor. Is it a crime?" Guo Jie looked around at everyone without fear.
"You..." The generals were about to speak. At this time, Tang Yin waved his hand and said, "Okay, let Mr. Guo finish his words. I also want to hear who the other murderer is!" , he stared at Guo Jue without blinking.
Guo Jue raised his hand without hesitation, pointed at Tang Yin, and said in a shocking voice: "The other murderer is His Royal Highness Feng Wang!"
Wow - as soon as these words came out, the banquet hall was in an uproar. Immediately afterwards, the sound of rustling swords could be heard. A dozen generals headed by Lu Wen rushed to Guo Jue with their swords in hand. They couldn't help but say, Pushing him to his knees, Lu Wen raised his sword high and said in a ferocious voice: "Old Yinzi, I'll chop you up, you rebellious Mo dog!"
"Stop!" At the critical moment, Qiu Zhen stood up, stopped Lu Wen, and then turned to look at Tang Yin wordlessly.
Tang Yin rarely felt as embarrassed as he did now. He was ashamed, angry and hateful, and couldn't tell what he felt in his heart. His fists clenched loudly, and it took him a while to calm down.
He smiled slightly, his face returned to normal, and he waved his hands to everyone, indicating that they should not use force. Then, he asked calmly: "Master Guo, you said that this king is the murderer, do you have any evidence?"
Guo Jue stood up with difficulty, reached into his arms, took out a handkerchief, raised it high in the air, and said, "This is the evidence!"
Uh-huh! People's eyes all fell on the handkerchief. The handkerchief was pure white with embroidered patterns, but it was obvious that there was blood on the handkerchief.
Guo Jue met Tang Yin's gaze and said like a barrage: "Last night, Wei Chen went to inspect the scene overnight. In the corner of the inner room, Wei Chen happened to find this handkerchief. The blood stains on the handkerchief were It was in the shape of a palm print, and it was obviously carelessly abandoned by the murderer after he wiped his hands. The soldiers at that time were all wearing armor, so it was impossible to carry them. Even if they did, they would not be able to take them out because of the armor. This handkerchief is of precious gold and fine workmanship. It was made by a famous artist and cannot be owned by ordinary people. The most important thing is that the two corners of the handkerchief are embroidered with the characters 'Feng' and 'Yin' respectively. While chatting with the servants, they learned that His Highness the Wind King used this kind of handkerchief on daily basis.
