Chapter 109 The Slaves of Prince Duan’s Mansion, Blood Debt Must Be Paid with Blood! [Subscribe]
After a while
Several yamen runners walked into the alley.
After waving away the crowds who were watching the excitement, they frowned and looked at the corpse on the ground!
When the yamen runners learned that this person was related to Qilin Pavilion, their faces suddenly changed. A leopard-eyed strong man with a stubble on his face hurriedly shouted: "Go and inform the superiors to send more people over, and at the same time block the news. Xiao Liu, you go to Qilin Pavilion to notify them in person, saying that a white-bearded old man died tragically here, and let them come to identify the body quickly!"
"Yes!"
Several yamen runners clasped their fists and agreed.
The leopard-eyed strong man cursed inwardly and looked extremely ugly.
Others don't know what the background of Qilin Pavilion is, but he knows it clearly. This is an industry under the Duan Wang Mansion. If the deceased is involved in Qilin Pavilion, I'm afraid it will be exposed.
What is Duan Wang Mansion?
That is the power of the current emperor's younger brother, Duan Wang.
He is deeply rooted in the court, and his style of doing things is extremely domineering and ruthless. Even the dogs in their Prince Duan’s mansion are not something that outsiders can bully casually. The current crown prince and the other princes have to be polite to him.
This white-bearded old man may be an ordinary clerk, and the case may be closed.
But if his status in Qilin Pavilion is not simple, or his relatives behind him cannot be underestimated, then the Ministry of Justice will have to bear a lot of pressure on this matter. How dare he, a small head of the police, not work hard?
After nightfall!
The Ministry of Justice and Qilin Pavilion sent people to confirm the situation one after another, and finally confirmed the identity of the white-bearded old man. He was actually the well-known treasure appraiser Lu Suisheng.
"How could it be him?"
The leopard-eyed strong man muttered to himself.
This is the oldest treasure appraiser in Qilin Pavilion. He is famous throughout the imperial city. Many powerful treasure appraisers have to politely invite him to the banquet.
Now Lu Suisheng is old and should enjoy his old age.
However, he couldn't stay idle, so he stayed in Qilin Pavilion to continue to be an appraiser. In his spare time, he also taught apprentices in the pavilion. Everyone in the pavilion was polite and respectful to him.
Lu Suisheng had been in the imperial city for most of his life and made friends with countless dignitaries.
He married and had children to run the family. Although the Lu family is not a big force in the imperial city now, their descendants are attached to the Prince Duan's Mansion as running dogs and slaves, and ordinary people dare not provoke them.
Now!
Such a person died in such an alley.
I'm afraid the people of the Lu family will not let it go!
The matter was really as the leopard-eyed strong man speculated. The Prince Duan's Mansion might not care about Lu Suisheng's life or death, but the Lu family could not help but care. As soon as night fell, the Lu family hurried over.
A middle-aged man in gorgeous clothes, with a girl in green holding a sword, drove in a carriage under the protection of more than a dozen masters in strong clothes.
When they walked quickly to the collapsed courtyard wall!
When he saw the unrecognizable corpse of the white-bearded old man, the middle-aged man in fancy clothes almost fainted. He barely stood up with the help of the girl in green, and asked with gritted teeth: "Who did it? Who?"
"Mr. Lu, please accept my condolences!" The leopard-eyed strong man smiled and stepped forward, bowed and said: "I am Liu Wu, the head of the Criminal Department. I hurriedly led people here after receiving a report from the neighbors. I was afraid that the scene would be destroyed and it would affect the pursuit of the murderer, so I haven't collected the body for the old man yet. Please forgive me!"
"You did the right thing, Qing'er, take a look!" The middle-aged man in fancy clothes waved his hand.
"Yes!"
The girl in green stepped forward with a sword.
Carefully inspect the ruins and the traces of the battle in the alley.
The middle-aged man in fancy clothes pressed his eyebrows and spoke again: "Tell me what you know."
"Yes, yes, yes!" The leopard-eyed strong man said hurriedly: "The tenant of this yard is surnamed Lin. His family was preparing to cook in the evening when they suddenly heard a noise. They thought it was someone's children playing and didn't pay attention to it. But soon a figure broke the wall and fell into the yard."
"Then a man in the alley flew up into the sky, pressed on the dead body and punched wildly, and directly beat the old man to death with his fists!"
The middle-aged man in fancy clothes looked darker as he listened.
After a long time, he signaled the other party to continue.
"We asked the neighbors, and that's probably the situation." The leopard-eyed strong man continued, "The battle should have lasted less than a hundred breaths from start to finish. The other party turned around and left after killing the person, and he should have disguised himself, leaving no flaws."
"In addition, the old man should have followed him from Qilin Pavilion to here. Someone in your pavilion recognized the murderer's appearance and claimed that he was here to sell black-scaled python materials..."
The leopard-eyed strong man's voice became weaker and weaker, and finally he smiled and closed his mouth.
The middle-aged man in fancy clothes didn't understand what he meant. He clearly wanted to say that the old man saw that the other person had a treasure, so he chased him out to kill him and robbed him, but he was killed instead.
If this kind of thing were spread out, the reputation of Qilin Pavilion would definitely be damaged!
The leopard-eyed strong man was also a smart guy, so how could he dare to say anything more?
"Dad!" The young girl in green came closer, waved her hand to let the leopard-eyed strong man retreat, and whispered: "There is an unknown poison in the alley, which has the effect of stagnating qi and blood. Grandpa was killed by a sneak attack. In addition, a large number of red vermilion fruits often grow in the nest of black-scaled pythons. If you can get them, you can definitely create a prosperous family that will last forever, so..."
"Hiss!"
The middle-aged man in gorgeous clothes took a breath.
Now all the clues are connected.
No wonder the old man in a semi-retired state died here inexplicably in a coarse cloth. This is a case of the thief robbing the thief and being killed.
"Red vermilion fruit!" The middle-aged man in fine clothes gritted his teeth and sneered: "The old man was still scheming for the family when he was old. Unexpectedly, he died tragically here. If you don't take revenge on us, you are a son of a man in vain. Please pass on the order. Look for it! Even if you have to dig three feet into the ground, you still have to dig it out for me."
"yes!"
The girl in green nodded indifferently, naturally knowing the importance of this matter.
Whether it's for the red vermilion fruit or revenge, they have to find this unknown murderer, otherwise the whole family will lose not only face but also dignity.
"This man is good at a very explosive leg skill. His strength is probably in the middle to late stage of the blood refining realm. He may be good at refining poison." The girl in green analyzed calmly: "He has no accomplices. He killed the black scale python alone, and then He poisoned and plotted to kill grandpa, which shows that his strength is very good. I can't think of anyone in the city of God who is more suitable. "
"But no matter what, he will not be flawless. It is not easy to sell a large amount of red vermilion fruits. We have recently sent people to keep an eye on the black market in the city and the city gate. We can use our connections to get the city patrol to pay more attention!"
The middle-aged man in fine clothes nodded with satisfaction.
Obviously very satisfied with this arrangement.
"Let's do it!" He thought for a while and said: "Li Laosan, who is in charge of intelligence in the Prince's Palace, is looking for him in a big way in the name of revenge. He will be rewarded with ten thousand taels of silver and will find him at all costs."
"Understood!" The girl in green said coldly: "The blood debt must be paid with blood, he can't run away!"
