The whole capital was struggling all night, but Liu Chengfeng was attacked and slept for a long time. When he woke up early in the morning, Zhu Yueluo woke him up. He sat up from the couch, and was stunned for a moment, and then he and the
Yi was staying and couldn't help but sigh, "What time is it now?"
Zhu Yueluo said angrily: "It's past the hour, and many people are visiting each other today. I asked the housekeeper to arrange them in the flower hall to wait, but I was afraid that you wouldn't sleep enough and dare not wake you up. Get up quickly, those people must wait.
I'm anxious."
Liu Chengfeng shook his head and smiled bitterly. Yesterday's news came out. He had already expected that many people would come to express their condolences today. He quickly washed up and then went to the flower hall to see people. There were indeed many people coming, including Jinyiwei and various.
In the family residence, Hou Shouning and Jianchang Bo sent people, and in addition, Li Dongyang also asked people to come and condolences.
Liu Chengfeng met these people one by one, and this scene was not like they came to comfort Liu Chengfeng. It was always Liu Chengfeng comforting them, saying that he was safe and sound, so you don’t have to worry about it.
After these people were sent away one by one, Chen Hongyu came to report that Liu Chengfeng asked him to sit down and talk. Chen Hongyu nodded, sat down and drank a sip of tea, and said, "Sir, we have checked, those assassins are on the roof.
After the assassination, he did not flee, but disappeared along the roof. There were many buildings there, and the roofs were one after another. In this way, the assassin should have been hidden in a mansion after the assassination.
”
Liu Chengfeng understood what Chen Hongyu meant, which means that these assassins did not escape at all. If they escape, there would definitely be clues, but they hid in that area. In other words, the person who operated behind the scenes must have been
It's a family living nearby.
Liu Chengfeng couldn't help but ask, "How many households are there in that area? Can you check it?"
"There are only dozens of households connected together. There are not many more people saying it, but not many people saying it." Chen Hongyu seemed very excited. No matter what, even if the person hiding the assassin was not the conscript behind the scenes, he was afraid that he would have something to do with these assassins.
Many unclear connections are found. As long as this person is found out, the case will be revealed.
Liu Chengfeng couldn't help but cheer up and said with approval: "Yes, you did a good job. Have you ever searched these dozens of families?"
Chen Hongyu said: "I asked someone to go in and search, but these dozens of families are either royal relatives or dignitaries. These people have all had low status. Although our people have gone in and searched, it is impossible to dig it up.
Three feet above the ground, but I didn’t notice anything abnormal.”
Liu Chengfeng slowly stroked the desk and couldn't help but nod. Even though Liu Chengfeng was powerful, it would be impossible to take someone to break up and tear down someone's house to search for people. Since they are prepared,
When you come, you will definitely prepare a hiding place, and this hiding place must be extremely secret. How can this general search be found?
In other words, although the scope of search has been reduced to the minimum, it still needs to be investigated slowly. It is impossible to rush into someone’s house and dig three feet to collect evidence.
Liu Chengfeng opened his eyes and looked at Chen Hongyu and said, "We need to investigate all identities of these dozens of families and investigate them carefully. You can get a list, and I will also check it out when the time comes."
Chen Hongyu said: "The list has been entered. There are 23 households in total, six of which are big merchants. They have no scruples about the people in these garrisons. They went in and searched inch by inch, but they did not find anything.
Therefore, they were temporarily eliminated, and only these seventeen families remained."
Liu Chengfeng took the list and looked at it one by one. These people include the officials of the Ministry of Revenue, and the minister of the Ministry of Justice, and there were several princes. What interested Liu Chengfeng was that the commander of the Jinyiwei was the same.
Zhi Chen Rang's house happened to be in it.
Chen Rang is recognized as a member of the Dongchang. Although he was the commander of the Jinyiwei, he has suppressed him many times since Liu Chengfeng was appointed as the commander of the Jinyiwei. Now it is not an exaggeration to say that he is a Tongzhi.
When Chengfeng saw Chen Rang's name in it, he couldn't help but squint and stared at Chen Rang's name with interest.
Speaking of which, this person is incompatible with him, and he is the godson of Xiao Jing, the man from the East Factory. Now the crime is near his home. Could it be that he colluded with Xiao Jing to do something to himself?
Chen Hongyu, who was standing aside, saw Liu Chengfeng staring at Chen Rang's name and immediately understood what Liu Chengfeng meant and said: "Sir, Chen Rang's side, I have already asked someone to monitor him. I also found this Chen
Rang was quite strange, and he had asked someone to investigate. Chen Rang did have a conversation with a group of suspicious people a few days ago. A few days ago, he heard that when he called his friends to drink at home, he once said.
...Speak..."
A trace of coldness flashed through Liu Chengfeng's eyes: "What are you talking about?"
Chen Hongyu took a deep breath and said, "He said that the commander and commander humiliated him like this. Sooner or later, the adults will not die well. He told people that adults have made enemies everywhere, and many people have already wanted their lives...
…”
Liu Chengfeng smiled coldly: "The clown jumping!"
Chen Hongyu said: "Chen Rang hates the adults so much that he feels humbly that this matter is afraid that it will be inseparable from Chen Rang. It's a pity that nothing was found in his house, but I think he looks like
He looked scared, as if he was afraid that we would find out something. He was an old man from the Jinyiwei. He had been in the Jinyiwei for so long that it was impossible for us to know the methods of our Jinyiwei, so he humbly thought that if these assassins were instructed by him,
I was hidden in secret by him, I was afraid that it would be difficult for us to find his hiding place. If we couldn’t find anyone, we would have no way to deal with him.”
Liu Chengfeng asked: "What was his expression when you went in and searched?"
Chen Hongyu said: "Anyway, I'm very uneasy, especially when I heard that we were going to go in and search. I saw that his face changed. It seemed that there was something wrong and I didn't want us to know."
Liu Chengfeng said slowly: "This person needs motivation and courage, and his godfather and I are irreconcilable. He may not be sure if he does it. In short, stare at him tightly.
No matter what he does, he must repay him immediately, and his house must be closely monitored. Everyone who comes and goes must be found out."
Chen Hongyu said: "How dare this humble man be negligent? He has already ordered it."
Liu Chengfeng continued to look at the list. In addition to Chen Rang, he actually found a person with a serious suspicion. In fact, Liu Chengfeng hadn't noticed it at the beginning. However, Chen Hongyu reminded him. Chen Hongyu pointed to a person and said, "You can remember the worker."
Is it a matter of the Ministry’s Initiative?”
"Archive?"
"Yes, it's Xu Guan, the Minister of Works. Since Xu Guan was beaten up by the Lord, he actually has a brother from his relatives in the cabinet. "
cabinet?
Liu Chengfeng said slowly: "What are you doing in the cabinet?"
"It's just an ordinary library, but its power is quite large, and it is said that it has always been trusted by Liu Jian. Even if you look at a library, it's also a role that third-rank officials will say hello when they see him. This person is called
Xu Hong also lives in that area. He and the Lord have an irreconcilable grudge. Xu Guan died because of the Lord and suicide, so Xu Hong may not avenge his brother. Besides, Xu Hong is in the cabinet.
, the news is very well-informed, and it is not a big deal to receive news from the adults in advance. More importantly, this person is very wealthy and has made extensive friends. It is not certain that he ordered it."
Liu Chengfeng nodded slowly. He thought much deeper than Chen Hongyu. Liu Chengfeng even suspected that this matter might have been done by Liu Jian instructed Xu Guan. This idea came out, and even Liu Chengfeng was scared.
After a jump, Liu Jian was a Grand Secretary of the Cabinet. He had a good relationship with him or not, and in theory, there was no deep hatred.
But Liu Chengfeng knew in his heart that if he was Liu Jian, he might not want to let himself be unlucky. The reason was very simple. The power of the Jinyiwei had become increasingly large. In the eyes of the cabinet, there was already a big trend. Under such circumstances
, Who can guarantee that Liu Jian will not suddenly do something to himself in order to eliminate hidden dangers?
Those who are in the capital are nonsense in friendship and friends, but only interests are there, especially those in the cabinet. If you see them being friendly and kind, you look like a gentleman who is worried about the country and the people all day long, then you will be wrong. These people are all
It has been tempered by countless struggles. It can be said that one general has achieved success and has thousands of bones. How can they be merciful?
If it was Liu Jian's hand, then Liu Chengfeng would have to be careful. Liu Chengfeng looked at the name Xu Hong in the list and his tone became stern: "Xu Hong must also stare at it, add more
Send some people, and you can't be careless at all. Has this person investigated something?"
Chen Hongyu said: "I'm investigating, but I heard some news that Xu Hong was repairing his house a few days ago."
"Repair the house?" Liu Chengfeng's face became suspicious, and he looked at Chen Hongyu and said, "Could it be..."
Of course, Chen Hongyu heard what Liu Chengfeng meant and said, "Sir, are you suspicious that Xu Hong was taking advantage of the opportunity to repair the house and was actually digging a secret room in secret? If this is true, it would be no wonder."
"The craftsmen who repaired Xu Hong's house must be found, and then interrogated carefully, and wanted to see what Xu Hong was repairing. If he really digs out the secret room, he would immediately rush in and find the secret room.
