After returning home, Wu Zhi immediately found disinfectant alcohol, then unwrapped the handkerchief, gritted his teeth to hold back the pain, and disinfected the wound with disinfectant alcohol. Li Tianjiao then found clean gauze and bandaged the wound again.
Okay. He had to be careful, just in case, for fear that the blade of the steel knife was not clean and would cause wound infection.
Li Tianjiao quickly bandaged his wounds, looking calm on the surface, but feeling very distressed on the inside. Wu Zhi's heroic feat of standing up to protect them just now touched her, Jin Lian and other sisters. Now Wu Zhi was injured for them.
, they also cherished him very much.
After settling the four girls, Wu Zhi called Dahu and went out in a carriage to the "Hongyi Society" station near Baokangmen. He called Li Hongyi, Qian Mancang and dozens of others, and brought with him enough
He drove ten carriages with ropes and rushed to the scene of the accident. For the convenience of everyone in the "Hongyi Society", Wu Zhi had already equipped them with ten carriages.
When everyone from the "Hongyi Society" arrived at the scene of the accident, they were all surprised to see three young men standing guard with wooden sticks and twenty people lying on the ground.
Without any time to explain, Wu Zhi immediately ordered everyone to take out ropes and tie up the masked men and Xiang Huaiyu and the other four people who were lying on the ground. Then he lifted them up and threw them onto the carriage one by one, including each one with a knife.
Send them to the "Hongyi Society" station.
At the "Hongyi Society" station, Wu Zhi conducted a surprise interrogation overnight.
The masked man was awakened by cold water. Everyone who had seen Wu Zhi's martial arts was trembling with fear. After being threatened by everyone in the "Hongyi Society" like wolves and tigers, except for the six masked people who were slashed with knives, they could not speak.
Besides, the other ten masked men all told the truth obediently.
It turned out that these sixteen masked men were all felons or death row prisoners in the prison of Kaifeng Mansion. The young man who came with Xiang Huaiyu was named Cai You, and he was Cai Jing’s eldest son! On the morning of Shangyuan Festival, the man on the left side of Kaifeng Mansion
Military inspector Ma Wei led Cai You and Xiang Huaiyu to the prison of Kaifeng Mansion. They found these sixteen people by name through coercion and inducement, and asked them to commit murder and robbery for them on the Lantern Festival night.
Originally, they planned to rush directly into Wu Zhi's house in the middle of the night to commit the crime, and lurked around waiting for the opportunity. When they saw Wu Zhi leading Jin Lian, Xiao'e and other beautiful girls out to watch the lanterns and guess lantern riddles, they asked Wu Zhi.
Huaiyu and Cai You changed their minds temporarily and followed Wu Zhi and others to the alleyway, intending to carry out murder and robbery in the quiet alleyway, but unexpectedly they were knocked to the ground by Wu Zhi and others!
Hearing the confessions of these masked men, Wu Zhi couldn't help but explode with anger. Li Hongyi, Qian Mancang and other "Hongyi Society" people, as well as Suo Chao, Li Zhenguo, Si Fangguo and Dahu, were also filled with indignation and rage, shouting that they were going to kill each other.
They were buried alive.
It is absolutely impossible to use felons or death row prisoners in Kaifeng Mansion Prison without Cai Jing's approval and instructions. This matter must be related to Cai Jing, Cai You and his son! As for how Xiang Huaiyu hooked up with Cai Jing, Cai You
Father and son, Wu Zhi is unknown. Damn Cai Jing! Damn Xiang Jia!
These people, so bold and reckless, are simply looking for death!
Wu Zhi is not a saint. Although he is very caring and compassionate, he is not so kind as to let the tiger return to the mountain to sympathize with the enemies of life and death! Now that all the enemies of life and death are in his hands, Wu Zhi does not intend to let it go.
He who refuses to avenge himself is not a gentleman!
The confessions of the masked men made Wu Zhi fall into deep thinking. How to deal with these masked men, Xiang Huaiyu, Cai You and others? This became his most urgent problem to solve.
These masked men were easy to deal with. They were all felons of the imperial court or prisoners on death row. They were killed when they were killed. In addition, they robbed and killed the imperial officials in the middle of the night, so they deserved their death.
It is quite difficult to deal with Xiang Huaiyu and Cai You. Although they usually do a lot of evil, their family backgrounds are prominent and powerful. If they are not handled properly, it will cause a series of chain reactions and cause unnecessary trouble.
Trouble has come. But now that they are in his hands, Wu Zhi will never let them go back to do bad things no matter what!
Wu Zhi has more important things to do, and he doesn't want to get entangled with these unscrupulous dudes and waste his time and energy.
Then the only way is to cut through the knot quickly and kill the killer painfully!
Wu Zhi walked around in the moonlit courtyard and thought for a long time. After weighing the pros and cons, he finally decided
He made up his mind and made up his mind. It is disrespectful to come and go. Since the enemy is unkind, don't blame him for being unjust!
Having made up his mind, Wu Zhi took Li Hongyi and Qian Mancang to the side, conspired, and decided to create a false suspicion formation. The troops were divided into two groups, and everyone from the "Hongyi Society" implemented the beheading plan. This was just right.
According to the wishes of Li Hongyi, Qian Mancang and others, they are now very satisfied with Wu Zhi as their master, and they all obey his advice and are loyal.
Wu Zhi did not want Dahu, Suo Chao, Li Zhenguo and Si Fangguo to be involved in these murders. Everyone in the "Hongyi Society" was from a gang and had experienced fighting and killing.
A gangster is the most suitable person to handle this kind of thing. He is familiar with the methods, convenient and effective.
After receiving Wu Zhi's instructions, Li Hongyi led fourteen of his men without hesitation, using the masked man's steel knife to kill fourteen of the sixteen masked men one by one, and then loaded them up overnight.
The carriage was pulled to a remote place near Nanxi Gate and dumped on the ground. Steel knives were stuffed into their hands, and a lot of copper coins, silver coins and money bags were scattered on the scene, pretending to be a crowd of masked men.
The stolen goods were unevenly divided and they killed each other. It was false that two of them absconded with the money. After the carriage, which was stained with blood, was brought back to the "Hongyi Society" station, it was also cleaned overnight, leaving no trace.
As for Xiang Huaiyu, Cai You, the two servants and the remaining two masked men, Qian Mancang led the team and put the six people into six large boxes respectively, loaded them into three carriages, and took the six
His subordinates took advantage of the bright moonlight to send them out of the capital overnight and headed for the lower reaches of the Huimin River. Around four o'clock in the morning, Qian Mancang led his troops to a place more than ten miles away from Zhuxian Town and found a secluded and uninhabited place.
At the bend of the river, they killed Xiang Huaiyu, Cai You, the two servants, and the two masked men one by one with steel knives, tied large rocks tightly to their bodies, and sank them one by one.
I went deep into the river to feed the river tortoise!
Afterwards, after cleaning the six boxes and carriage, Qian Mancang took six of his men and rushed to Weishi County overnight under the moonlight. He decided to go back to Weishi County to avoid the limelight and wait for the news to pass before returning to the capital.
After dealing with the fourteen masked men and seeing Qian Mancang leading the crowd towards Huaiyu and the other six people, it was already five o'clock in the afternoon and in the dead of night, Wu Zhi quickly took Suo Chao, Li Zhenguo and Si Fangguo into the carriage.
, controlled by the big tiger, quietly rushed home.
When he got up early the next day, Wu Zhi immediately summoned eight people, including Suo Chao, Li Zhenguo, Si Fangguo, Dahu, Jinlian, Xiao'e, Liu Yue and Li Tianjiao, to unify their opinions on last night's events, and unanimously claimed that last night's lantern viewing was
After guessing the lantern riddles, I didn't meet anyone or encounter anything when I went home. Everyone got home smoothly.
This is called death without evidence!
At noon, the shocking news of the tragic death of fourteen masked men spread throughout the capital, causing panic in the entire capital.
After Kaifeng Prefecture received a report from the masses, Ma Wei, the inspector of the left army, and Zhu Kang, the inspector of the right army, quickly led the officials to the scene of the murder. After investigation, they found that the fourteen masked men who died were actually in the prison of Kaifeng Prefecture.
When he was a repeat offender or on death row, everyone couldn't help but be dumbfounded!
Except for Ma Wei, who understood what was going on, everyone else found it incomprehensible. How could the criminals in the Kaifeng Mansion Prison come to the streets to fight in the middle of the night? And so many people died at once?
This is definitely the biggest scandal and malfeasance in the history of Kaifeng Mansion!
The situation was so serious that Ma Wei and Zhu Kang could only order the scene to be cordoned off, and solemnly warned all the government officials present to keep their mouths shut and not leak any information to the outside world. Then, the two hurried back to the Kaifeng government office to report the situation.
The boss made a report.
Cai Jing, Lu Jiawen, Situ Changling and the newly appointed Zuoting judge Yu Zezhong were all shocked when they heard the news. If the identities of the masked men were leaked, it would definitely cause an uproar. If the court and officials were blamed, all the officials of Kaifeng Mansion
The four people present will be unable to eat and will probably have to shed a layer of their skin!
Cai Jing, who knew the inside story, was even more panic-stricken. If the official Zhao Xu knew that he had ordered the prisoners to be released privately, then he, the Minister of Household Affairs and the governor of Kaifeng, would be in trouble! It would be even worse!
What's more, there are still two prisoners who have not been found, which have become two fatal factors that are very uncertain to detonate at any time. What makes Cai Jing even more worried is that his eldest son Cai You did not return home all night.
It seemed as if the two prisoners disappeared without any reason!
The mute eats Coptis chinensis, and everyone cannot tell the story of their suffering. In order to avoid long nights and many dreams, Cai Jing and other four Kaifeng government magnates could only strictly order all officials and government officials in Kaifeng Prefecture to keep silent, and quickly ordered the government officials to remove the corpses of the fourteen masked men.
They were packed up and buried on the funeral mound, and they announced that they were gangsters from outside the city who had entered the city to fight for the spoils, and the case was settled early.
A few days later, the storm of the murder gradually subsided, and people in Bianliang City returned to calm. But Cai Jing and the Xiang family were like ants on a hot pot. They could no longer sit still and were panicked. Because Cai You and Xiang Huaiyu
The two servants of the Hexiang family were also missing like the two prisoners! The six people disappeared as if they had disappeared from the world, neither alive nor dead. This situation frightened the two families including Cai Jing and Xiang Zonghui.
, the six gods have no master.
Cai Jing and Xiang Zonghui couldn't figure out what was going on. The matter was out of their control. They suspected that the matter had a lot to do with Wu Zhi.
What about Zhi, he could only reluctantly send out all the servants in the house to search all over the capital to find out the whereabouts of Cai You, Xiang Huaiyu and others.
But even if they dug three feet inside and outside the capital and turned the capital upside down, they still couldn't find Cai You, Xiang Huaiyu and the other six people. Such a result would probably be more disastrous, which made Cai Jing and Xiang Huaiyu
Both Zonghui and his family couldn't accept it and were in pain.
When Empress Dowager Xiang heard the news, she was also heartbroken. Feng Yan was furious and quickly issued an edict, ordering the Ministry of Criminal Justice to immediately file a case for investigation, threatening to arrest the murderer and collect his ashes!
Zhao Xu was also shocked after hearing the news. He acquiesced to the Queen Mother Xiang's decree and let her issue orders for the Ministry of Justice to investigate the case. He also wanted to know who had the courage to offend Cai Jing and the Xiang family at the same time. The following is
Poisonous hand.
After the Ministry of Punishment received the decree from Queen Mother Xiang, Xing Shu, the Minister of the Ministry of Punishment, did not dare to neglect and quickly organized manpower to conduct an investigation. With the testimony of Cai Jing and Xiang Zonghui, the officials of the Ministry of Punishment questioned Wu Zhi and his family, but failed to find out.
What useful clues are coming.
After unifying the narrative, Wu Zhi and his family members all gave the same, watertight answers. Moreover, officials from the Ministry of Punishment did not dare to use torture to extract confessions from Wu Zhi and his family members. In addition, there was no evidence of death, so naturally nothing could be asked.
As for the victim, since Kaifeng Mansion itself has its own ghosts, it is afraid that the secret release of prisoners will be exposed, so it has always been secretive. Naturally, the Ministry of Punishment can't find anything.
A few days later, because there were no clues and no witnesses or evidence, the investigation by the Ministry of Punishment was unsustainable and could only be stopped abruptly. It was determined early that it was a gang fight and the case was closed. As for Cai You, Xiang Huai
Since no one was alive or dead, Yu and others could only classify it as an ordinary disappearance case, and ordered the Kaifeng Mansion to slowly investigate it themselves.
Empress Dowager Xiang was furious after hearing the news, but there was nothing she could do about it. After Zhao Xu asked about it, although he was very confused, he had no objection. Cai Jing and Xiang Zonghui were also dumbfounded. Where should they go to investigate?...
In this way, the murder case became a dead case, and no one paid attention to it. The disappearance case also had no clues, could not be investigated, and became an unsolved case.
After hearing that these two cases were over, Wu Zhi and his family breathed a huge sigh of relief, completely relieved and returned to their usual peaceful life.
