Liu Binhua's death was of great importance to others, and the friends who knew him well were naturally a little regretful. Since then, they no longer have someone who was taken advantage of by going to the brothel, eating wine, and paying the bill, and they felt a little unhappy; and for those who had eaten Liu Binhua
Those who are suffering are secretly rejoicing: God has finally opened his eyes, and this disaster will be punished by God.
But no one believed that Liu Binhua hanged himself. Even if the companions who followed him said in unison that they saw Mr. Liu hanging from the southeast branch, no one believed it. How could such a man who "loved life" live happily?
Would you seek death by yourself? On weekdays, you would eat wine, go to brothels, gamble, listen to plays, and beat people. Live a more moist and nourishing life, and seek death? Isn't this a joke?
Some people have given this explanation: The hanged ghost may be possessed by a ghost or be possessed by evil spirits, or he may die in a daze. Old people often say that ghosts are easy to hide in the peach blossom forest. If you really encounter something dirty, it is God's will.
Xia Song did not believe all the suspicions from the outside world. He was experienced and determined that this was a premeditated murder. It was simple. The companions said in unison that Liu Binhua followed a woman into the peach blossom forest, and the companions
After discovering Liu Binhua's death, he looked back for the woman, but both the person and the car were gone. This shows that the woman was closely related to Liu Binhua's death.
This was the first doubt, and the second was the white silk cloth that Liu Binhua used to hang himself. Xia Song recruited the maids and servants who dressed Liu Binhua to torture him severely. Everyone said in unison that Mr. Liu did not take the white cloth with him before going out;
We also didn’t see Liu Binhua running into any shop on the way to seek death with two feet of white silk in his car. This shows that the white silk belongs to someone else.[
After combining the two doubts, it is not difficult to conclude that Liu Binhua was lured into the peach forest by the woman, and the killer ambushed in the peach forest strangled him. This was quickly confirmed, and he was found fifteen miles outside the corner gate.
An abandoned carriage. Although there are no clues on the carriage, it is enough to prove that the murderer was afraid that someone would recognize the carriage when he was guilty, so he abandoned the carriage outside the city.
Xia Song felt very sad. Although Liu Binhua was his nephew, after the death of his sister and brother-in-law, Xia Song adopted him at home. He already regarded him as a son in his heart. In the future, he planned to change his surname to replace the Xia family's.
To carry on the family lineage; with this death, everything is in vain, and I am afraid that I will be extinct.
These are all trivial matters. After all, he has a daughter and several young concubines. If he finds some folk remedies and supplements, he might be able to give birth to a boy and a half girl. What Xia Song is worried about is that
In the past few years, anyone who doesn't know his name has had his nephew assassinated. This is obviously someone who has put a black hand on his head.
Xia Song preferred to believe that this was a vendetta caused by Liu Binhua's own misconduct. To prove this, he used a large number of officers and soldiers to investigate and arrest those who had close contacts with Liu Binhua, and did not hesitate to use torture to force them to confess.
It's a pity that those people are not fools. How can they confess to killing Deputy Privy Councilor Xia's nephew? If he doesn't recruit him, he might just die. If he can't bear it and recruits casually, everyone in the family, old and young, will die. This is
Something obvious.
Xia Song was famously ruthless in the capital. Many inexplicable murders of corpses and families were rumored to be his fault. When he was in the northwest, Xia Song was notorious for being strict in commanding troops. He committed crimes.
Soldiers who had violated military law were beheaded by others, but he insisted on being tied outside the tent and freezing to death. In summer, he was scalded to death with hot water. It was so cruel that it was outrageous. But because of this, the soldiers under his command were very disciplined.
Strict and strict, few dare to mess around.
Xia Song worked hard for two days and maimed seven or eight people, but there was no progress; these people had nothing to do with Liu Binhua's death, and they all had alibi evidence, but the matter was much more complicated.
Xia Song had to think more deeply about this matter. If Liu Binhua had not made the enmity himself, then the assassination of Liu Binhua could only be directed at him. He was afraid that he would not be successful, so he killed his own nephew to establish his authority.
Who could it be? A political enemy? A family member of a person he had killed before seeking revenge? If it was the latter, it would be difficult to thoroughly investigate. He ordered the killing of hundreds to hundreds of people, if not a thousand, and many of them did not even know their names.
, how to check this? If it is a political opponent, it can only be that his acceptance of the position of deputy privy envoy this time has caused dissatisfaction among some people. However, in fact, the ministers of the DPRK and China almost unanimously nominated themselves for this position, and even Yan Shu seconded the proposal.
Yes, Xia Song knew Yan Shu very well. Even if there was a problem between the two of them, Yan Shu was not the kind of person who would assassinate others behind their backs. Although he was an old fox, he was still a scholar after all, and he had strict restrictions on his words and deeds.
The only possibility is Pang Ji. I heard that he also wanted to take up the post of deputy privy envoy this time, but later he heard Prime Minister Lu talk about himself and never mentioned it again. Could it be that he had a grudge and took revenge?
?
Xia Song quickly overturned his suspicion that Pang Ji would not do this. Although the relationship between the two was not a good match, they were both from Prime Minister Lu, and Pang Ji completely relied on Prime Minister Lu's support.
Only by taking shelter can he stand firm. At this time, it is impossible for him to make such a foolish move.
After ruling them out one by one, Liu Binhua's death seemed to suddenly become a mystery. He knew that someone had murdered him, but he didn't know who did it. Could it be that it was just like the rumors in the outside world that he met the hanged man?
Late at night, Xia Song, who was sitting in front of Liu Binhua's soul, was in a daze. Suddenly, a flash of lightning flashed in his mind, and he thought of a person: "Could it be him? After many calculations, how can he get this person?"
Did you miss it?"
But soon he denied himself: "How can he have the courage to challenge himself? He wouldn't dare even if I borrowed his courage."
But there was another voice in my heart: "It's hard to say. The stubbornness this person showed that night was very worrying. Moreover, I humiliated him a lot that night. My nephew Liu Binhua also tried to kill him several times that night."
If you kill him, there's no guarantee that he won't have murderous thoughts in his heart, and this kind of fledgling young man can't reason with common sense at all, and everything is unpredictable."
After thinking about it several times, Xia Song suddenly saw the two-foot-long white silk hanging on the coffin, and suddenly he understood that it was probably him who had done this.
The way Liu Binhua died was exactly the same as that of Xiao Kou'er who died in the room that night. He was also hung as if he committed suicide. However, when he ordered Xiao Kou'er to be strangled that night, he was hanged alive, while Liu Binhua was strangled.
There is actually no difference between the two after death and hanging on a treetop.
More importantly, that person had witnessed Xiao Kou'er being hanged from the beam that night, and the method of killing Liu Binhua was so similar. Could it be that this person did it deliberately? If so, he would have left behind a
Metaphorically, it implies that this is what he did. This is a demonstration to himself. If this is really the case, not only does this kid have a plan, but he is also clearly challenging himself.
The anger in Xia Song's heart reached its peak, but he warned himself that the angrier he became, the less he could lose control; even if the facts were as he suspected, he could not take action easily without evidence, because Su Jin was not
Anyone who can accuse and frame him casually has a big tree like Yan Shu behind him. Unless there is sufficient evidence, not only will he not be able to do anything against Su Jin by acting rashly, but he will also cause trouble all over his body.[
The more times like this come, the more excited Xia Song becomes. Her innate desire to fight with others is as addictive as a drug addiction.
Xia Song thought carefully for a long time and formulated preliminary actions.
…
Su Jin was in a very happy mood these two days, and the pleasure of revenge made him in a good mood. Last night he went to Yuzhang Tower in Pinghunan to see Xia Siling, but as the dead ghost Liu Binhua said, the place was heavily guarded.
There are people guarding both inside and outside the building, so it's really impossible to get in.
It seems that Xia Song wants to treat her daughter as a prisoner! Su Jin can only give up and find an opportunity to communicate with Xia Siling later to comfort her. In the blink of an eye, it is the seventh day of March, which is the day to take the exam.
Jin Zaifa was distracted from thinking about this matter.
On the morning of the sixth day of March, Su Jin had just finished exercising in the backyard and took a warm bath. While she was still letting Huan Niang and Rou Niang take care of her hair, Xiao Sui'er jumped in like a deer.
He kept shouting: "Master, Master, who do you think is here?"
Su Jin frowned and said: "You were startled so early in the morning. You scared me. Even Huan Niang and Rou Niang were frightened by you, and you pulled out a few strands of my hair. Who is coming?
"
Xiao Sui'er's eyes flashed and she said, "Master, haven't you been talking about them these past few days?"
Su Jin stood up suddenly and said with great joy: "Are they really here?"
Rou Niang said angrily: "Don't move. Just after we finished it, it fell apart again."
Xiao Sui'er nodded and said, "It's Mr. Wang and the others who have arrived and are waiting in the front hall."
Su Jin urged: "Hurry up, how can I keep them waiting for so long? I'm going to die."
