The leader was an old acquaintance, it was Fang Chengzhong, the deputy commander of the Ma Army. Fang Chengzhong had previously been glaring and shouting from a distance. When he saw Su Jin, he quickly reined in his horse, trotted over and asked, "So it's Master Su."
, what’s going on?”
Su Jin pointed to the dead body lying on the ground and said: "Someone tried to assassinate me, but my subordinates shot him to death."
Fang Chengzhong said in shock: "Is there anyone dead? Is there an assassin trying to assassinate Mr. Su? In broad daylight, there are such audacious gangsters."
Su Jin said: "Commander Fang, it is better to send people to search everywhere. Besides, it is not safe for the emperor to watch the dragon boat race on the Zhouqiao Bridge. Please quickly order people to inform the people around the emperor to be careful." b Time Travel Novel: b
Fang Chengzhong was stunned and responded: "Yes." He immediately ordered someone to report it.
Several people walked to the assassin's body. Su Jin told Fang Chengzhong the situation. Fang Chengzhong couldn't help but click his tongue. Looking at the slight blood on the back of Su Jin's neck, he could imagine how dangerous it was just now.
"According to Mr. Su's description, this assassin came with the intention of death. In that situation, it is best to flee immediately if he misses a hit. However, he insists on assassinating you. It seems that he has a hatred for you.
Not shallow."
Su Jin smiled bitterly and said, "I don't know who would hate me so much. What should I do now? Do you want me to go with you to record a confession?"
Fang Chengzhong said: "This matter is not our responsibility. Later, the Kaifeng Prefecture's Criminal Division will naturally come to collect the corpse and conduct an autopsy. This confession will definitely trouble Mr. Su, but in front of the public, there are many witnesses, so you don't have to worry about people.
Prove that Mr. Su is blessed with great fortune, and it is really hard to escape in that situation. It is really an eye-opener for God."
Su Jin frowned and said: "God is open, but I'm afraid I won't be so lucky next time. I want to inform the Third Division about this to the Emperor. The assassination on me on the Dragon Boat Festival must not be the work of an ordinary assassin. Such a bold assassin
, if they are not arrested, who knows who else they are targeting?"
Fang Chengzhong nodded and said: "What I'm saying is that your Excellency is here to wait for the people from the Kaifeng Prefecture's Punishment Division to arrive. I have to lead people to search around, so I'll take my leave."
Su Jin nodded and said: "Please set up a small patrol horse team near my bank to prevent anyone from attacking my bank."
Fang Chengzhong nodded and said: "Of course, Mr. Su, don't worry. Generally speaking, even if there are accomplices at this moment, they will not show up, but caution is the best. I will make arrangements for my humble position."
Su Jin cupped his hands and said, "Thank you."
Fang Chengzhong handed over his horse, leaving five cavalry soldiers to guard the body. He led the rest along the street while shouting.
It didn't take long before the people from the Kaifeng Prefecture's Punishment Division arrived. The leader was a fat Punishment Officer, whose eyes were small but sparkling.
He did know Su Jin. When he saw Su Jin, he cupped his fists and said, "It's polite for Kaifeng Mansion to appoint Tang Shi, the executioner. Are you Su Jieyuan, a newcomer?"
Su Jin returned the favor and explained the situation again. Tang Shi ordered his wife to examine the body on the spot. He also ordered someone to record what Su Jin said and asked Su Jin to sign it. Finally, he said: "Su Jieyuan, you usually
Are there any enemies?"
Su Jin muttered: "I don't know if there are any enemies. However, I have organized a group of corrupt officials and profiteers in Yangzhou, and destroyed the bandits' strongholds. If I want to say enemies, they are probably these people."
Tang Shi said: "If these people organized the assassination, it would be difficult to catch them. Su Jieyuan expected the same thing as me. I also believed that this was a premeditated assassination. Although it was in broad daylight, the whole thing could be seen that they
It was set up."
Su Jin applauded and praised: "Heroes have the same idea. Tang Tixing and I thought of going together. First, it would be best if the crazy horse galloped and knocked me into the river. If it can't hit anyone, it can also create chaos.
, taking advantage of the chaos, it is indeed a clever move for the assassin to suddenly assassinate."
Tang Shi stroked his palm and said: "I have heard about Su Jieyuan's name for a long time, and now I know that he is not a person who has gained a reputation in vain. However, this speculation needs to be confirmed. How does Su Jieyuan think it should be confirmed?"
Su Jin smiled and said: "Master Ti Xing is here to test me. It's not difficult. Just fish out the horse that fell into the river and examine it." b Time Travel Novel: b
Tang Shi smiled and nodded, and called his servants to go down to the river bank. He tied the fallen horse with a rope and pulled it up, leaving it dripping with water on the road.
Su Jin and Tang Shi stepped forward, looked around, and finally found several holes in the horse's buttocks. They must have been caused by the iron awl suddenly stabbing the horse's buttocks, causing the horse to suddenly run wildly and out of control. Obviously,
It's caused by humans.
Tang Shi clapped his hands and said, "That's good. It saves the need for a dissection examination. Horses will go crazy after eating food mixed with mandala flowers, or plug wooden wedges into the anus to prevent the horse from defecating."
You will go crazy, but with this scar, the other two items are not needed."
Su Jin nodded and said: "He must have been driving and pretending to be a civilian. He stabbed his horse's buttocks with a cone when he saw me here. Although other methods are feasible, the time and place are difficult to control. This is the only simple and effective method."
Tang Shi nodded and asked, "Is the driver on the carriage the assassin?"
Su Jin shook his head and said, "I didn't know that. When the horses rushed over, I was watching the dragon boat race. If it hadn't been for the huge noise caused by the car overturning, I would have fallen into the river and become a corpse by now."
Tang Shi smiled and said: "Su Jieyuan is a good person and a heavenly minister. I will take away the corpses of the men and horses after they are ready. I am going to look for witnesses to see if anyone can clearly see the appearance of the coachman. As long as you know the appearance, you can draw a shadow."
We conducted a round-up search and caught the accomplice, the coachman, and the case will be solved."
Su Jin breathed a sigh of relief and said, "I'm sorry to bother you, sir."
Tang Shi said: "Based on my experience in handling cases, this group of people may still take action and act so unexpectedly. Su Jieyuan should be careful. If it doesn't work, he can apply for public protection to avoid unexpected events."
Su Jin said: "Thank you for reminding me. Master Ti Xing is free to do it. I'll be available for questioning at any time."
Tang Shi nodded and left.
Su Jin then took Chaoyang Mahan to the Yinzhuang not far away diagonally across the street. When they arrived at the gate of the Yinzhuang, they saw Zhang Long and Zhao Hu guarding the gate of the Yinzhuang like two door gods. The guests in the Yinzhuang had already been driven away.
's clean.
Seeing Su Jin, the two people hurriedly greeted her; Su Jin looked stern and asked: "Is the old lady frightened?"
Zhang Long said hurriedly: "No, no one upstairs knows about it. Huan Niang and Xiao Sui'er have told me not to say anything. From this angle, we can't see the place where the accident happened."
Su Jin nodded and said: "Very good, don't teach the old lady to know."
Entering the lobby of the Silver Village, Su Jin glanced at the stairwell, and suddenly felt a sense of fear in his heart. He actually forgot to install an iron gate at the stairwell of the Silver Village. If he had entered the Silver Village dressed as a customer just now, he would have been able to enter the Silver Village directly.
On the second floor, that's it.
The assassin probably didn't know that Mrs. Wang and Yan Biyun were in the attic on the second floor of Yinzhuang, so they had to make amends quickly.
Su Jin quickly called Qian Henian over and asked him to install an iron door at the top of the stairs and lock it immediately. Although Qian Henian didn't know what he meant, the big boss's words were an imperial edict, so he quickly agreed.
Su Jin went up to say hello to Mrs. Wang. Mrs. Wang was in high spirits. Several people looked at the crowds on both sides of the river, knocking melon seeds and chatting and laughing. Seeing Su Jin coming up, Mrs. Wang smiled and said, "My son, have you seen that red one?"
The dragon boat rowing is really fast, and the scene is very lively. We also have dragon boat races on the Feishui River in Luzhou every year, but the scene is much smaller than this. After all, this is the capital city."
Su Jinpei smiled and said: "That's natural. Nothing can compare to the magnificence of Luzhou under the emperor's feet. The dragon boat race is over and there is nothing to see later. How about we go back home?"
Mrs. Wang said slightly disappointedly: "Are you going back now?"
Su Jin pointed at Yan Biyun and Rou Niang and said: "Miss Yan and Rou Niang are weak and cannot stay outside for a long time. If you don't go back, they will definitely not go back. You should think about it for their sake. Let's go back next time."
Just come out and play."b Time travel novel:b
Mrs. Wang naturally knew about Yan Biyun's pregnancy, so she was able to talk about Yan Biyun's body easily, so she stood up and said, "That's right, my son also knows how to love others, not bad."
Yan Biyun was slightly surprised and glanced at Su Jin. Su Jin winked and she stopped talking.
Everyone returned to Yan Mansion in a carriage, surrounded by companions, and arrived at the same time as Yan Shu. When Yan Shu saw Su Jin, he hurriedly stepped forward to ask. Su Jin whispered what had happened. Yan Shu spoke for a long time, looked at Su Jin and said:
"What trouble have you caused? Are you hiding something from me?"
Su Jin hurriedly said: "I'm also confused. Maybe it's the grain officials or the remnants of the bandits who are taking revenge."
Yan Shu pondered: "It's also possible that the emperor is very concerned about you when he heard about this matter. He has sent the imperial army to search for suspicious people throughout the city. Tomorrow morning, the people from the Kaifeng Prefecture's Criminal Division will be called in for questioning, and you will be asked to go to the meeting by name.
towards."
Su Jin nodded in agreement, and Yan Shu added: "Your house is getting more and more unsafe. You might as well move into my house and settle down for a few days until the assassin's accomplices are found; and the provincial examination will be in two days, so you have to calm down."
Wen Shu, success or failure lies here
One move, as long as you pass the high school provincial examination, the emperor has told me privately that he will appoint you as a fourth-grade prefect. This is unprecedented. Go out and practice for a few years, and then I will promote you to the central government.
It will be smooth sailing.”
Su Jin believed that there was little chance that the assassin would strike again, but Yan Shu insisted repeatedly and would not let Su Jin take the risk. Su Jin did not want to disobey Yan Shu's good intentions, so he agreed.
Immediately, he sent someone to pack some clothes at the Deshengqiao residence, leaving only servants to guard the house and guard the house. He, Xiao Suier, Wang Chao and others moved into the Yan Mansion.
