Liu Chengfeng sat in the hall and waited for a while. The most important thing for him right now was to call the steward Deng Deng. As long as the source of the tea was clearly explained, all problems would be solved.
After waiting for half a cup of tea, the person in charge had not yet been escorted. Liu Chengfeng couldn't help but feel a little strange. Although this house was not small, it was impossible to ask someone to take so long. He was about to ask, and then
A school captain staggered in and said: "Sir... sir... something happened again."
Liu Chengfeng stood up and asked, "What happened?"
The captain wiped the sweat from his forehead and said: "The steward Deng Deng died of poisoning. He was already dead. Before he died, he said... He also said that Madam... Madam is very poisonous..."
Madam is so poisonous...
A hint of coldness flashed across Liu Chengfeng's eyes, and then he said: "Lead the way and take me to have a look."
Following the guidance of the school captain, Liu Chengfeng arrived at the firewood shed of Mao Mansion, which had been blocked by more than a dozen school captains. Liu Chengfeng walked into the firewood shed and saw Deng Deng.
Deng Deng was an old man in his fifties, with gray temples. However, at this moment, his body was completely cold. He was lying on the ground leaning to one side, and black blood overflowed from his ears and nose.
When Wu Zuo, who was squatting next to Deng Deng, saw Liu Chengfeng coming in, he quickly stepped aside obediently, lowered his head and said, "Sir, like Master Mao, this Deng Deng was also poisoned to death.
The villain checked and found out that they must have been poisoned by arsenic. The villain checked and found that there was still a lot of food left in Deng Deng's stomach. It must have been poisoned by someone beforehand."
Liu Chengfeng nodded, and called another school captain to ask: "Did anyone visit him when he was imprisoned?"
The captain said: "Madam has been here before."
"Mrs. Mao, Mrs. Wang?"
"Yes. When I came here, I brought a food box and said I wanted to visit Dundon."
Liu Chengfeng's eyes narrowed, and everything in front of him seemed to have been sorted out clearly. The tea was sent by Deng Deng. After poisoning Jingzhou Hou Maotong, Deng Deng was poisoned again, and the only one who had come into contact with Mao Tong was
The only person left was Mrs. Mao Wang. This Wang family clearly ordered Deng Deng to poison Mao Tong first, and then killed Deng Deng to silence him.
The biggest question at the moment is that Wang is Mao Tong’s wife after all, so what good will it do to her to poison her own husband?
Liu Chengfeng couldn't help but said: "Here, go call that Mao Wu."
Since it was the murder of her husband, there must be a motive. To find this motive is actually very simple, that is to understand the relationship between Mao Tong and the Wang family. Mao Wu is Mao Tong's confidant, and this person must know the inside story.
.
Mao Wu was found by several captains. He hesitantly entered the woodshed and saw Deng Deng's body. His whole face turned pale with fright, and his body was not functioning properly and was trembling slightly. He swallowed
Swallowing his saliva, he saluted Liu Chengfeng uneasily and said, "Young man has met your greatness."
Liu Chengfeng looked at him fiercely and said word by word: "I just want to ask you one thing, how do you usually get along with the Marquis of Jingzhou?"
Mao Wu quickly bowed down and said, "Madam and the Marquis are very friendly to each other and respect each other as guests. The relationship is very good."
Liu Chengfeng sneered: "Really? You still want to lie to me now? To tell you the truth, this case was probably done by the Wang family, and the person was killed by the Wang family. You said that the Marquis of Jingzhou and the Wang family had a close relationship with each other.
Why does the Wang family want to kill the Marquis of Jingzhou? You evil slave, do you still want to hide it now? If you don't tell the truth, I will have you arrested today and say that you have killed your master. You can weigh it yourself."
Mao Wu was so frightened that he trembled all over and said quickly: "The villain is wronged. Everything the villain said is true. If you don't believe me, you can ask others. Madam and the Marquis are indeed respectful to each other. If the villain has a false statement,
Thunder struck from heaven!"
Speaking of this, Liu Chengfeng couldn't believe it even if he wanted to. It was strange to say that a couple who respected each other as guests would actually have the wife kill her husband. Liu Chengfeng would never believe it, but what was the problem?
?
Liu Chengfeng sneered solemnly and said slowly: "Really? I believe what you said, but I just want to ask you, is there any conflict between Madam and the Marquis? I will also tell you the truth. The Marquis died unknown.
No matter what, the court is now anxious to find the murderer. If the Jin Yiwei can't find any results, they will have to use you as the scapegoat in the end. You have also met some well-known people in the world with Marquis Jingzhou, so the stakes here must not be yours.
I can understand it too!”
Liu Chengfeng yelled and frightened Mao Wu, who was stunned and yelled for injustice. After a while, he finally gritted his teeth, glanced at Liu Chengfeng, and said: "Sir, I will never dare to treat my mistress.
What's the point of having second thoughts? But having said that, now that the Marquis is dead, there are some things that I don't dare to hide from you. I do know some inside information, but...it's just..."
Liu Chengfeng heard the implication of Mao Wu's words: "Don't worry, as long as you are willing to say it, I will naturally not make it difficult for you. After this incident, I will give you a sum of money, enough to let you go away from home. Never again."
Get involved in the disputes in the capital."
Liu Chengfeng couldn't help but feel a little excited in his heart at this time. What if this Mao Tong was related to Prince Ning? As Mao Tong's most trusted confidant, would Mao Wu know the inside story? If he knew, then not only Mao Tong's case would be affected
If we don't understand it too well, I'm afraid that Prince Ning's case will also come to light.
Mao Wu said gratefully: "Thank you, sir. Then I have said it. The Marquis of Jingzhou committed something wrong when he was the commander-in-chief of Shanhaiguan. So this time he returned to the capital claiming to be ill just to plug this hole."
"Did something happen? What happened?"
Mao Wudao: "In the past few years, the imperial court has gradually increased the military pay for the border town. In addition, it has also specially allocated a batch of firecrackers to allow the nine sides to form their own Shenji battalions. You must also know that firecrackers
The cost of making firecrackers was extremely high, and at that time, there was also a huge demand for firecrackers from outside the country. For example, North Korea was buying firecrackers on a large scale. The trading houses opened up the supply, but the price was too high, so the Koreans
Then I thought of a way to buy some fire blunderbuss privately from Liaodong and Jiubian. Hou Jian of Jingzhou was so profitable that he was blinded by lard and sold a batch..."
Liu Chengfeng's heart sank a little. It turned out that what Jingzhou Marquis committed had nothing to do with Prince Ning, but involved the theft and sale of arms and corruption.
"Originally, it was okay to steal and sell some firearms in Bian Town. In fact, it has always been the case in Jiubian to sell weapons on military pay, and everyone has long been accustomed to it. The problem lies with the Ministry of War. Recently, Liu Daxia, the Minister of the Ministry of War, wrote a letter saying
It was to check the results of the Shenji camp in each town, and to send patrols to Jiubian for inspection. When my Marquis heard the news, he became very anxious, so he hurried back to Beijing. He said he was sick, but actually he wanted to come back to open up the joints."
Liu Chengfeng squinted his eyes. He naturally understood what Mao Wu meant. The so-called opening of the joints was actually the relationship between the troops and the Ministry of War to cover up the matter. It is no wonder that Mao Wu refused to leave Beijing until his death. It must be that the joints have not been opened yet.
, I can only sit back and wait for death after I return, so I can only waste my time in this capital.
After all, although the crime of stealing and selling fire guns is not high, after all, he is a meritorious person. Once the news reaches the ears of the emperor, it will become a deception. It is not easy for the ancestors to earn the title. Mao Tong can only do this now.
Last resort.
"Actually, Mr. Mao's joints have been opened up, but the inspector of the Ministry of War said that he couldn't hide the theft and sale of weapons even if he wanted to. If you want to get through, you can't just clear the way at the Ministry of War. The only way is
To find a scapegoat, that is to say, to put all the blame on others when the time comes. This is what Master Mao has been planning in the capital."
Liu Chengfeng nodded. He understood what Mao Wu said. Liu Daxia must have made up his mind when he asked for the effectiveness of the Shenji Camp in each town. The officials below could fool him, but they would never dare to confuse right and wrong, so they stole and sold arms.
Things will definitely be exposed, so to fill this hole is not to blame a deer for a horse, but to frame it on others.
Mao Wu swallowed and continued: "After Mr. Hou understood this, he... then..."
"What?" Liu Chengfeng urged. Up to now, Liu Chengfeng still didn't know why Wang had the motive to kill Mao Tong, which made him seem a little impatient.
Mao Wudao: "If you want to frame someone up, you must have the right person. Not just anyone can frame him up, and the military quartermaster in Shanhaiguan is General Wang Fen. If you really want to frame someone up, the only way my Marquis can do it is to frame him up."
This shit basin is being thrown at Wang Fen's head, but...it's just that this Wang Fen is the Queen of Luzhou, and...is also my wife's biological brother."
Liu Chengfeng immediately understood that Mao Tong wanted to frame people, and the people framed were the Hou family of Luzhou. In fact, this was normal. Once a person is forced into a dead end, who cares whether you have in-laws or not? It must be the Wang family.
Bian got the news, and finally the news was passed on to Mrs. Mao and Mrs. Wang. Although this Wang respected her husband as a guest, Wang Fen was her brother after all. Her husband didn't even say hello, but wanted to marry his brother.
Put to death, in this situation, only God knows what Wang will do.
After all, the marriage between the Wang family and the Marquis of Jingzhou was originally the result of a peace agreement between the aristocratic families. Now that such a big crime has been laid on the Wang family, not only is Wang Fen unpardonable, the entire Luzhou Marquis and Wang family will be implicated, and the Wang family
Are there any options?
Liu Chengfeng couldn't help but sigh. After investigating the case so far, it turned out that this was the result, which really surprised him.
He cheered up, a hint of murderous intent flashed across his eyes, and said coldly: "Go find the Wang family!"
