Liu Wenxing didn't pay much attention to the deputy general of the Yun Mansion, but the problem was the words Tie Mo, the governor of the three provinces. Liu Wenxing was half drunk, and his cloudy eyes were somewhat clear. He looked Zhou Dingshan up and down, and saw this young man The man has a dignified appearance and an upright expression. He couldn't help but wonder, "Are you General Zhou Dingshan?"
"Yes, it seems that Mr. Liu has sobered up. Haha, how about Mr. Liu going with Zhou? It's not a good thing to keep the supervisor waiting for a long time, right?" Zhou Dingshan narrowed his eyes and leaned forward slightly. There was some warning in his words. In short, whether Liu Wenxing agreed or not, he would take Liu Wenxing to see Tie Mo.
Liu Wenxing has experienced a lot of people and things, but he was also confused by Zhou Dingshan. He, Liu, was a small member of the Criminal Department. Why did the Iron Superintendent want him?
"General Zhou, could you please let me inform your family?"
After hearing Liu Wenxing's request, Zhou Dingshan shook his head and smiled bitterly, snorting sarcastically, "Master Liu, you take yourself too seriously. If the supervisor wants to kill you, he can do it right here. Why call you Where else? So, don’t worry blindly, the Supervisor is looking for you for good reasons."
After being told off by Zhou Dingshan, Liu Wenxing smiled sheepishly, drank two cups of tea, sobered up, and adjusted his robe before following Zhou Dingshan out of the tavern. When Zhou Dingshan brought Liu Wenxing to the living room, Tie Mo Somewhat surprised, "Tsk tsk, I didn't expect that after more than three years, Mr. Liu is still in the capital. Tie is still afraid that Mr. Liu will be transferred to another place and take charge of one side."
What Tie Mo said was originally polite, but to Liu Wenxing's ears, it sounded like a sarcasm. Liu Wenxing, let alone being transferred to another department and holding real power, is still a member of the Criminal Department. Liu Wenxing's breathing was a little rapid. , his face turned red and white, looking extremely embarrassed. Tie Mo was puzzled, but fortunately Zhou Dingshan came up and whispered, "Supervisor, Liu Wenxing is still a foreign minister now."
Huh? Tie Mo finally understands why Liu Wenxing shows such an angry and embarrassed expression. He has been a member of the criminal department for seven or eight years. He is already embarrassed, but he still talks about being transferred to another place to take charge of a criminal department. This is not typical. Is it sarcastic?
"Haha, don't blame Mr. Liu, Mr. Tie really doesn't know Mr. Liu's situation!" Tie Mo bowed his hand to Liu Wenxing in a natural manner and expressed his apology.
Tie Mo handed over his hand and apologized, but Liu Wenxing never dreamed of it. At this time, Liu Wenxing was shocked. You can imagine the shock in Liu Wenxing's heart. The dignified governor of the three provinces actually saluted and apologized to him, a small member of the Ministry of Justice, Wai Lang. The Iron Supervisor was so polite to a corporal. Is he the murderous and reckless warrior rumored by the court? Liu Wenxing is not a stingy person, not to mention that Tie Mo can apologize in person, which means that no matter how much resentment he has, he will dissipate. So, he quickly bowed and saluted, and said, " What the superintendent said is shameful!"
"Haha, Mr. Liu, there is no need to be nervous, please sit down and talk!"
Liu Wenxing thanked him again and sat upright on the chair. However, seeing his butt half raised and his eyes drifting away, it was obvious that he was still a little uneasy in his heart. Soon a maid served him tea, and Zhou Dingshan saw that Liu Wenxing was not satisfied. He dared to drink tea, pushed the tea cup gently, and said with a slightly sarcastic smile, "Mr. Liu, take a sip of tea to suppress the alcohol."
"Ahem!" Liu Wenxing almost choked to death at Zhou Dingshan's words. General Zhou was also very bad this year, and he couldn't pick up any pot. He pursed his lips slightly, put down the tea cup, and asked with some uneasiness, "Superintendent"
, I wonder what your orders are when you come to my subordinate?"
"Since Mr. Liu asked, I will not hide it from Mr. Liu. Today, the body of the Japanese envoy Miyamoto Takeo was delivered to Shuntian Mansion, and someone even complained to me that he killed the Japanese envoy without authorization. Mr. Liu should listen to this matter.
Did you say it?"
As an official of the Ministry of Punishment, how could he not be aware of such a major case in Beijing? At first, Liu Wenxing felt that there was no need to investigate this case. Now that the King of Qin is sitting in northern Shanxi and has hundreds of thousands of strong troops, it can be said that he does not listen to orders and does not investigate.
Listen to the announcement, not to mention that he killed a Japanese envoy, even if he killed all the Japanese who came to Beijing, can the Ministry of Punishment still convict Inspector Tie? He didn't care much about this case at first, but now Tie Mo asked him in person,
Liu Wenxing suddenly felt that things were not that simple anymore.
"Your Majesty has heard about this matter, but the case was handed over to the Criminal Department and Shuntian Prefecture, and was tried jointly by Mr. Du and the Third Division. It did not go through the hands of your Majesty. I really don't know what the Inspector means by asking your Majesty?"
"Master Liu, I can tell you the truth today. I really want to trouble Miyamoto Takeo, but Miyamoto Takeo's death has nothing to do with my house. I came to you because I want you to investigate the palace for me.
What about the cause of Takeo's death and finding enough evidence, Master Liu, will you be willing to work for me?"
Tie Mo looked at Liu Wenxing with a smile. This was a difficult choice for Liu Wenxing. He could understand what Tie Mo meant. The supervisor asked if he could do something for him, not just investigate the case. And Liu Wenxing also
It was clear that once he got on the Iron Governor's ship, he would never get off.
In a short period of time, Liu Wenxing thought a lot. After a long time, he cupped his hands and said slowly, "Superintendent, the lower official considers himself powerless, and his talents are not as good as those of many great scholars at that time. Why do you look down on the upper official?"
Woolen cloth?"
"Haha, Mr. Liu is proficient in criminal law and good at investigating crimes and solving cases. He is one of the most talented people in the world. He can use it to benefit the people of the world and ensure the political clarity of the Ming Dynasty. Mr. Liu's talents are much better than those of those great scholars who boast and talk and seek fame.
.”
Tie Mo did not deceive Liu Wenxing. He really valued Liu Wenxing's ability. His ability was comparable to that of Renzong Dynasty Bao Gong. Others looked down upon such a great talent. How could Tie Mo not care? Tie Mo's words spoke to Liu Wenxing's heart.
Over the years, Liu Wenxing has suffered a lot. His abilities that he was proud of have been regarded as trivial, and he has been frustrated for a long time. Now, after listening to Tie Mo's words, he suddenly felt like he had met a close friend. A wise man will die for his bosom friend.
Liu Wenxing looked excited and asked in a trembling voice, "Supervisor, do you really see it this way?"
"Master Liu, your question is ridiculous. With my current status as the Superintendent, is it necessary to lie to you?"
Tie Mo raised his eyebrows slightly, with such strong self-confidence in his tone. Liu Wenxing was stunned and secretly cursed stupidity. Did Inspector Tie Mo need to lie to him? What could he have to lie to? Thinking of this, Liu Wenxing's eyes filled with tears.
With tears in his eyes, he slid down from the chair, dropped to his knees, and bowed deeply, "The superintendent is so kind to me, and I am so grateful to you."
Liu Wenxing's kneeling made Tie Mo burst into laughter. What could have caused a dignified man to become like this?
Is Liu Wenxing the kind of shameless villain who forgets his own good for profit? Of course not, he is really frustrated. Tie Mo is well aware of Liu Wenxing's ability, but such a talented person is so frustrated.
He has been a member of the Criminal Department for seven years and has not even moved. It is very good that Liu Wenxing is still alive and well. If he were a person with a proud mind, he would probably die of depression or resign and return to his hometown.
Zhou Dingshan looked at Liu Wenxing who was kneeling on the ground and crying bitterly. He had mixed feelings in his heart. There are too many depressed people like Liu Wenxing in Ming Dynasty now. Liu Wenxing is better off. Like the old general Xiong Tingbi, he fought for the country all his life and died in depression in the end. Chongzhen
The emperor was in power, and the court was full of Cheng Jiming, Qian Qianyi and others from Donglin. He helped Liu Wenxing and after a few words of comfort, Liu Wenxing's temperament calmed down a lot. After some exchanges, Liu Wenxing frowned and said, "Supervisor,
So it wasn't you who killed Miyamoto Takeo?"
"Of course not. I am not the kind of person who is afraid of trouble. Not to mention Miyamoto Takeo, even the Japanese shogunate comes in person and dares to admit it as long as I kill him. Mr. Liu, you don't need to worry. Tomorrow the Japanese governor will
Your Majesty will be informed at the division meeting that Mr. Liu will be appointed as the doctor of the Ministry of Punishment and will be responsible for examining the case together with the Shuntian Prefecture. During the investigation, General Zhou will stay with Mr. Liu to listen to his advice."
"May I ask the Superintendent, at what point will this case be considered over?" Liu Wenxing is a smart man. He must first find a direction. This case is not that simple.
Tie Mo thought for a while and said softly, "To find out the specific cause of Miyamoto Takeo's death and who the murderer is, the most important thing is to have evidence. Of course, there is no need to inform the Shuntian Prefecture and the Ministry of Punishment of the details of the case. If anyone blames it, hand it over to General Zhou.
That’s all.”
"In this way, I will definitely live up to the trust of the Inspector!" Liu Wenxing said with great confidence. Questioning criminal names is what he is good at. In addition, this is the first thing he does after joining the Iron Inspector. He must do it.
Just be more beautiful.
After Liu Wenxing and Zhou Dingshan left, Tie Mo wrote a memorial, fully recommending Liu Wenxing to preside over the case. Zhu Youjian was not stupid, and naturally he would not undermine Tie Mo at this time, so he agreed directly with a stroke of his pen, and the court
No official was stupid enough to make Tie Mo unhappy over this matter, so Liu Wenxing quickly took up his post. In the next two days, Tie Mo sent people to assassinate the Japanese envoy, which caused a lot of uproar. There were people who applauded.
There were those who cursed under their breath. Liu Wenxing naturally ignored those words in the public. Zhou Dingshan led the troops to clear the way, and all the government offices were open to traffic. Liu Wenxing personally entered the Shuntian Mansion morgue to conduct autopsies. Every corpse was inspected very carefully.
Zhou Dingshan followed closely beside him and watched Liu Wenxing examine the body. He was also secretly surprised. He had seen the government officials conduct autopsies before, but this was the first time he had seen Liu Wenxing do so carefully.
Liu Wenxing's autopsy was naturally very detailed and even a little scary. Sometimes Liu Wenxing used iron pliers to pry open the dead man's mouth and lay on it to smell it. His nose was twitching. Zhou Dingshan almost spit out his overnight meal. Thinking of Zhou Dingshan.
He fought on the battlefield, killed countless people, and saw countless horrors, but they were so different from what Liu Wenxing did. He couldn't stand the atmosphere in the morgue, so he luckily ran out of the room to get some fresh air.
After waiting outside for a while, Liu Wenxing walked out of the room. He wiped his hands and came to Zhou Dingshan's side. He said with a solemn expression, "General Zhou, the matter is clear. We need to inform the supervisor earlier."
Zhou Dingshan was shocked. He looked Liu Wenxing up and down and said in disbelief, "Master Liu, have you really found out the clues?"
"Of course!" Liu Wenxing smiled slightly, looked at Xie Wudi again, and then walked out.
In the evening, in the courtyard, Tie Mo and Liu Wenxing talked a lot, without any hesitation.
"Superintendent, the cause of Miyamoto Takeo's death has also been found out. After inspection by the lower officer, Miyamoto Takeo's expression was calm when he died, and it did not appear to be in pain. The lower official inspected the tongue coating and smell, and after confirmation on the third day, it was determined that these people died before death.
They all took 'Mabo Soup'."
"Mabo soup? What is this?"
"Return to the Superintendent, this thing is venom extracted from Datura flower seeds. The person who takes it will have all the pain and fall into a coma. It is because of taking this thing that Takeo Miyamoto no longer has a ferocious look on his face and can remain silent."
He died of endless bleeding. The lower official has taken out the remains from the base of the tongue and between the teeth of the deceased, which can be used as evidence! Moreover, Ma Bo Tang is not common, and not all medical clinics may have it. Can Ma Bo Tang be made?
There are only a handful of places, and I also sent people to check it out. Before the incident, the people under Manzi Duduo bought some."
Ma boiling soup? What a good name. Tie Mo also admired Liu Wenxing's ability. He found out the specific cause of death in just one day, and even the details were so clear. At this time, Tie Mo had a smile on his lips, and no one knew that he was there again.
What are you thinking about?
It seems that I really guessed it right. Someone wants Miyamoto Takeo to die, but he can't let others know. Now he is still slamming the shit basin on his head. This can only show one thing, that is, in Duduo's heart
He was also a little scared. He was afraid that the truth would be spread to the ears of the Japanese. "Dingshan, these tricks played by Duoduo will definitely not be hidden from the close people around him. You should find a way to bring back an insider! Also, those two geishas
And Fei Siming continues to interrogate and pry open their mouths. Heng Heng Duduo is good at killing Miyamoto Takeo, and some people are also secretly adding fuel to the fire. I cannot let them go easily."
"Don't worry, Supervisor, this matter will be settled as soon as possible!"
In Huitong Pavilion, for some reason, Duduo always had a bad feeling these past two days. Tie Mo sent people to investigate the murder of Takeo Miyamoto, and he expected to find nothing. He was thinking about something when suddenly someone knocked on the door.
After gathering his thoughts, Duduo said softly, "Come in!"
A guard pushed the door open and entered the room. He had a look of anxiety on his face, but carefully closed the door. Then he came closer and bowed, "Master Beile, General Hecha has not been here since he left last night."
Didn’t come back.”
"What?" Duduo was shocked. He finally understood what he was worried about. What he did was concealed and clever. If there was a variable, it was He Cha, the confidant. He Cha knew everything. If He Cha
Cha Cha betrayed him and told some words to the Japanese, so the plan to annex North Korea with the Japanese alliance came to nothing. Cha Cha and Cha Cha went out to Xicheng to have fun and have fun not once or twice, but before, they mostly went at night.
After staying outside for three more hours, he rushed back to the Huitong Hall. It was now noon. Seven hours had passed and Hecha hadn't come back yet. It was obvious that something had happened. Was Hecha fleeing privately because he was afraid of being killed and silenced?
No, this possibility is very small. This is the capital of the Ming Dynasty. I am not familiar with the place. Even if Hecha wanted to escape and live in seclusion, he would not be here. Either he escaped or he was detained. The entire capital
, besides Tie Mo, is there another person who is interested in Hecha?
