Tang Xiaohao had no choice but to say to Zheng Jing: "Zheng Jing, you have also seen that my father will not let me go out or let others enter the house. I can only communicate in front of the door. Otherwise, you can go back and report to the arresting officer of the Yamen."
Your Excellency, just tell him and let him issue the arrest warrant."
Zheng Jing thought for a while: "How about I tell General Tang?"
After saying that, Zheng Jing was about to ask the armored guard at the door to inform him.
Tang Xiaohao stretched out his hand to stop Zheng Jing: "Wait a minute, isn't there another thing that is directly related to me?"
Only then did Zheng Jing remember: "A series of murders occurred in Shendu City last night. Two people died and two were injured."
Tang Xiaohao wondered: "What does it have to do with me?"
Zheng Jing explained: "The dead and injured were a family of four who sold sesame seed cakes. The dead were the grandfather and father. Although the mother and daughter were injured, they both survived."
Tang Xiaohao frowned: "What does that have to do with me?"
Zheng Jing said calmly: "The patrolling Shendu Army arrived first and then notified us."
Tang Xiaohao was a little helpless: "Can you finish what you said at once? Mainly tell me why it is related to me? You won't say that I killed the person, right?"
Zheng Jing nodded and said: "That's right, both the surviving mothers identified you as the murderer."
Tang Xiaohao was stunned, and he didn't come back to his senses for a long time. The armored guards around him also looked at Tang Xiaohao, but no one was surprised, because if someone reported to the official that Tang Xiaohao was playing hooligan, they would believe it, but when it came to murder, they would not die.
believe.
Tang Xiaohao calmed down and asked: "What is going on?"
Zheng Jingdao: "The sesame seed seller was in Nanshi. About three o'clock in the afternoon, a man suddenly broke into the house. Without saying a word, the man picked up the wooden stick next to him and beat two men to death, and then chased him.
Kill the two women. Their cries for help in the house were heard by the neighbors, who came to help, and the murderers immediately ran away."
When did the child leave? Tang Xiaohao clearly remembered that Xiao Lingdang approached the Tang Mansion that the child had left at the time. When the incident occurred, he was monitoring Xiao Lingdang and Sister Hong in the Dongcheng residence. However, if he told it, Xiao Lingdang would not admit it, even if
If she admits it, how can Xiao Lingdang explain her late night departure? If she reveals Sister Hong and the plan behind her, she will lose her head.
That's the husband I married, ah, wife!
Tang Xiaohao asked again: "Continue talking."
Zheng Jing continued: "The shouts in Nanshi attracted the attention of the patrolling Shendu Army. The Shendu Army immediately arrived. After a short inspection, they thought that this matter should be under our control, so they asked the people to report to the arrest yamen.
The Shendu Army temporarily helped us guard the scene, and when we arrived, the Shendu Army withdrew."
Tang Xiaohao asked: "Did you personally inspect the scene?"
Zheng Jing nodded: "Yes, it happened to be my shift last night. I took three people to personally investigate the scene. Two people died and two were injured. The surviving mother-in-law insisted that you were the one who killed the person."
Tang Xiaohao immediately asked: "Why? Do you two know me?"
Zheng Jingdao: "Master Tang, do you think there are still people in Shendu City who don't know you? Let alone Shendu City, people from ten miles and eight villages outside Shendu City know you."
Wan Duzidan, how can you explain this clearly? If I insist that I stayed in the Tang Mansion last night and did not leave, but the four people from the Twelfth Square, Bao Niang, Gui Nu, Ji Chunniang and Han Shuang, have seen me again. Even if
It was almost ugly when he saw me, but when the crime happened, no one testified on his behalf.
According to what Zheng Jing said, the crime occurred around three o'clock in the afternoon, and then Tang Xiaohao started to follow Sister Hong from a residence in Dongshi, all the way to about Twelve Square in Nanshi, probably Chouzheng.
In other words, even if people like Bao Niang could serve as witnesses, they would only be able to prove that he appeared in Twelve Square after Chou Shi, which would increase the suspicion that he was Tang Xiaohao.
Zheng Jing added at this time: "Although those ladies didn't describe your appearance clearly, they did describe your dress clearly."
Tang Xiaohao immediately thought of the uniform night held by Red Card Twelve Square last night. One of the finales was the scumbag uniform. Almost every girl there had a piece of their own clothes. In other words, if someone wants to pretend to be himself, it is not
It's a difficult thing.
But, is it appropriate to talk about this matter now? The strangest thing is that Zheng Jing doesn't look like he is here to take him back. Instead, the group of beggars suing Tangdou is more important. What does this mean?
Tang Xiaohao simply asked: "Then you want to take me back for questioning?"
Zheng Jing shook his head with a serious face: "Why do I need to take you back for questioning? Everyone knows that you are a coward who is strong on the outside and strong on the inside. Although you seem arrogant and domineering on weekdays, you are just quick to tease the common people with your words.
Let alone murder, if someone actually attacks you, you have to kneel down and cry for mercy."
After listening to Zheng Jing's words, the armored guards next to him couldn't help but want to laugh.
Tang Xiaohao also had an extremely ugly smile on his face, although he knew that Zheng Jing was just seeking truth from facts, because that was how the people of the capital city viewed him, and it was also the image he had painstakingly created. However, this beast couldn't be so careful when using words.
A little bit?
However, what happened last night was too strange.
At this moment, Zheng Jing suddenly saw something and knelt down on one knee together with the armored guards at the door.
Tang Xiaohao realized that Tang Chen was coming, turned around and looked at Tang Chen and said: "Dad."
Tang Chen walked up to Zheng Jing expressionlessly and asked, "Are you the person who arrested the Yamen?"
Zheng Jing immediately said: "Back to the general, I am the quick arrester Zheng Jing who is arresting the Yamen."
Tang Chen asked again: "What's the matter with you?"
Zheng Jing was always business-oriented, and he didn't show any emotion or tact, so he told Tang Chen both matters.
Xiao Lingdang in the side courtyard felt strange when she saw that Tang Xiaohao hadn't come back for a long time, so she walked out of the side courtyard and came to the front yard. Then she saw the people at the gate, but she didn't dare to step forward and just stood there waiting.
After listening to Zheng Jing's story, Tang Chen glanced at Tang Xiaohao, thought for a moment and said: "Xiaohao, just take your fat cat to the arresting yamen, settle the matter, and tell Mr. Lisi by the way.
It is clear that you have not left the Tang Mansion in the past few days, and everyone in the family can testify for you."
Tang Xiaohao knew that his father would definitely let him go, but not for the Tangdou matter, but for the murder case. With Tang Xiaohao's status, and the fact that he wanted to be the prince's consort, if something like this happened now, Tang Chen would definitely not be allowed to go.
Putting pressure through official position and power will only be counterproductive. If the matter gets bigger and reaches the ears of the emperor, things will be really troublesome.
In order to demonstrate the so-called fairness, justice and openness, Tang Chen would not accompany Tang Xiaohao, nor did he send an armored guard, but would only let his servant Tang Dun go with him.
Tang Xiaohao, Tang Dun and Zheng Jing left. Xiao Lingdang, who didn't know why, didn't dare to ask, but Tang Chen just looked at her with a strange look and then went to the front hall.
Little Lingdang, who was full of doubts, suddenly felt uneasy.
——
When Tang Xiaohao arrived at the arrest yamen near Beishi City, he had just entered the main hall with jelly beans in his arms. The group of beggars kneeling under the hall all turned to look at him, with eyes full of anger. Among them was a boy of about eight years old.
He was still holding the puppy, and it looked like his eyes were swollen from crying.
Sitting firmly in the hall, the official, Mazhuo, pretended to be a gesture, grabbed the gavel tree and patted it: "Who is standing in the hall?"
This is not the first time that Tang Xiaohao has stood in the lobby of the arrest yamen, and he is naturally very familiar with the official Sima Sui. Not long ago, when Tang Wangshu got married, Ma Sui came to the house to give gifts and flatter him. At that time, he still swore that Tang Xiaohao
When you become the prince-in-law, you must give him a big gift or something like that.
But this was in the lobby, so Tang Xiaohao could only follow the rules, but he decided to adjust the bracelet and knelt down directly: "Little citizen Tang Xiaohao."
When Ma Zhuo saw Tang Xiaohao kneeling down, he was stunned. Tang Xiaohao was Tang Chen's son and the man who was about to become the prince-in-law. How could he kneel to him? So, Ma Zhuo immediately winked at Zheng Jing next to Tang Xiaohao and signaled him to quickly take Tang Xiaohao away.
He helped him up because he couldn't say anything because the beggars were watching.
Tang Xiaohao saw the panic on Ma Biao's face and said deliberately: "Sir, I have no official position, no fame, and no title. What I am kneeling on is the plaque hanging above your head. That plaque represents the Law of Dachang
, The common people kneel down to the law, not the adults.”
What Tang Xiaohao meant by these words could be heard by everyone present.
Hearing this, Ma Zhuo immediately calmed down. Knowing that Tang Xiaohao had also given himself enough face, he asked, "Do you know why I called you here?"
Tang Xiaohao said: "Xiaomin has already learned from Zheng Kuaifu. Xiaomin came here hoping to reach a reconciliation with these people." After that, Tang Xiaohao looked at the beggars with a smile, "Excuse me, what do you want to do?
Do you want compensation? Or do you want my tangdou to be responsible?"
With that said, Tang Xiaohao grabbed the jelly beans by the back of the neck and lifted them up.
At first, Tangdou was still confused, but when he saw the puppy, his eyes widened, and he tried to turn his head to look at Tang Xiaohao. Does that mean: You won't go to court over this kind of thing, right?
The leader of the old beggar said: "Not only must we be responsible, but we must also pay compensation."
Tang Xiaohao was eager to resolve this matter first, so he said, "How about this, how about I take the puppy and its offspring back to the Tang Mansion and give you some money?"
Tang Xiaohao had just finished speaking, but before those beggars could say anything, Ma Zhuo immediately made the decision: "Okay, it's such a happy decision!"
Happy decision! You have to at least wait for others to express your opinions without being so obviously partial, right? Tang Xiaohao stared at the horse bracelet sitting in the hall.
Ma Zhuo understood and immediately looked at the beggars: "What do you think?"
The old beggar at the head kowtowed: "Thank you for redressing the injustice of the common people. You are so wise."
Ah? Is this wise? Are you here to extort money? Tang Xiaohao looked at the eight-year-old child walking over with the puppy in his arms, and directly handed the purebred pastoral dog to Tang Xiaohao, and warned: "
From now on, you can only love it as a dog. You must pet it and cannot lie to it. You must do everything you promise it. Every word you say to it must be sincere. You must not bully it or scold it.
Believe in it. When others bully it, you have to stand up and help it as soon as possible. You have to be happy with it. If it is unhappy, you have to make it happy. You will always think it is the most beautiful. You should dream about it even in your dreams.
You only have it in your heart, do you understand?"
Tang Xiaohao stared blankly at the child in front of him. He never expected that an eight-year-old child could be so articulate. However, shouldn't these words be said to Tangdou!? It's none of my business?
Tang Xiaohao threw the jelly beans in front of the puppy and repeated what the boy said.
The puppy looked happy and cuddled up to the confused jellybean. The scene made everyone present shed tears.
Just when Tang Xiaohao handed over the money, the child whispered: "It was Hall Master Wu who asked me to come to you."
Huh? Tang Xiaohao was stunned, but he immediately came back to his senses and realized that his guess was correct. These people were indeed from the Beggar Clan, and were sent by their sworn brother Wu Tianlu. However, do you have to use this method?
The child handed the bamboo basket containing the dog and cat to Tang Xiaohao: "It can reunite their whole family. The young master is indeed a good person."
As a good person, I have to castrate this dead cat after I return home!
After the beggars bowed their thanks and left, Ma Huo immediately ran down and was about to kneel down to Tang Xiaohao, but Tang Xiaohao held him up.
Ma Zhuo said in a low voice: "Young Master Tang, I have no choice but to ask you to atone for your sins."
Tang Xiaohao said expressionlessly: "Everything in the court follows the rules. You did nothing wrong. This cat and dog ethics case has been cleared up. Now let's talk about last night's murder case."
Although Tang Xiaohao said this, he still thought about how to meet those beggars. Wu Tianlu sent them to find him, there must be something important.
Ma Zhuo asked Zheng Jing to wait outside and led Tang Xiaohao to the morgue.
The morgue of the arresting yamen is almost the same as that of the Shendu military yamen, except that there are more places for parking corpses, a total of twenty-four. Now there are only two pits where corpses are soaked in potion. This is also seen from the side.
This shows that there has not been a fatal case in the city of God in recent times.
Before entering the house, Ma Zhuo took a piece of medicine towel from the medicine bucket at the door and asked Tang Xiaohao to cover his mouth and nose, because the smell in the morgue was so bad that ordinary people would faint immediately if they took a deep breath in it.
When the two came to the corpse pit, Ma Huo pointed at the two corpses and said: "Mr. Tang, these are the two people who died last night. The reason why I believe it was not you is because of the scars on the corpses.
"
Tang Xiaohao knelt down and looked carefully, and found that each of the two corpses had only one wound. To be precise, it was a bruise, both of which were located in the heart. In other words, these two people died suddenly after being punched in the heart.
Of course, Ma Zhuo thought that Tang Xiaohao didn't understand, so he explained: "Judging from the scars, these two people were hit in the heart by a powerful punch from Kong Wu. This murderer is definitely not an ordinary person. Mr. Tang does not know martial arts, and he has no
Naturally, you are not the one who is born with divine power."
Tang Xiaohao asked deliberately: "What if I know Kung Fu and am born with supernatural powers?"
Ma Shuo smiled and said: "Young Master Tang was joking. I believe that this case was not done by Young Master Tang, not only because of what I said before, but also because the surviving mother-in-law insisted that the young master was the murderer."
Tang Xiaohao asked deliberately: "How to say?" This chapter has been completed!
