Daming King of Punishment

Page 745

The emperor was angry and anxious, so why not Song Wuya.But this matter is not something that can be resolved in a hurry, it must take a period of time to investigate.

Now he has grasped the shape of the murder weapon, but it is not important at all. The only thing that can give Song Wuya hope now is whether the guards can send back good news.

The assassination of a first-rank official in the imperial court is a big deal.While the emperor was anxious, all the officials were also anxious about it.After all, their colleagues were killed inexplicably like this, it is inevitable that Hu Ri'ang and the others are worried about themselves.

As for the people in the capital, there were even more discussions about this matter, and some people even added fuel to the matter and made wild guesses about this matter.

For a moment, everyone's eyes were on Song Wuya, and Song Wuya became the focus of this matter.They were all waiting for Song Wuya's magistrate's yamen to give an explanation on this matter so that they could feel at ease.

Just when Song Wuya was in a state of desperation because of this matter, several familiar guests came to the magistrate's yamen.

"Master Song, who was Master Zhou killed by? Is there any clue now?"

Not long after this incident happened, the officials of the imperial court gathered together and came to the government office in a mighty manner.

Listening to the leading official's inquiry, Song Wuya frowned: "The case has not progressed yet, and I have already started the city-wide investigation. Presumably there will be a result soon."

"Master Song, in this matter, you must find out the murderer as soon as possible, so as to comfort the soul of Lord Zhou!"

The officials talked one after another, and urged Song Wuya to investigate this matter as soon as possible.

Song Wuya could understand their mood at the moment, after all, they were all officials in the same dynasty, and if something like this suddenly happened, they would naturally be afraid.

Right now Song Wuya is investigating as soon as possible, not to mention, now there is not even a single clue, it is so difficult to investigate the real culprit!

Song Wuya nodded again and again: "My lords, please rest assured that this is a matter of my duty, and Ding Dang will do its best to investigate this matter."

"Master Zhou's accidental death made us deeply disturbed. Now, in the capital city at the foot of the emperor, someone actually assassinated the imperial court official in the street. This is a big deal. Who on earth would be so bold. "

Even though Song Wuya was coping with them, these officials didn't seem to want to leave in a hurry, so they started discussing in the government office.

Listening to what they said, Song Wuya became even more irritable.After all, there is no clue about this matter now, and these ministers are still here to make trouble for him and put pressure on him.

"Lord Song, can we judge now whether this is a vendetta or someone deliberately assassinated the imperial court official?"

After all, they are still worried about themselves.Even though they were officials in the same dynasty as Mr. Zhou, they all had their own little plans in mind.Although there is nothing difficult on the surface, who knows what is going on behind the scenes.

"This official has not investigated clearly yet. However, there are quite a number of perpetrators. Master Zhou and the people accompanying him were all killed by one blow. This official also hopes that this is just a case of vendetta, but what the masters are worried about It is not impossible. So in recent days, you adults should bring more followers when you go out."

Song Wuya couldn't give a definite answer, so he could only warn these officials.

Who knows, as soon as he said this, the faces of the officials changed immediately.Obviously they were even more frightened.

Among these officials, there were many people who had hated Song Wuya in the past, but now they came to the government office one after another because of this matter, and they didn't look ashamed at all.

"My lords, I still have to deal with business, please go back." Seeing that they were so noisy that Song Wuya couldn't calm down, after saying everything that needed to be said, Song Wuya issued the order to evict the guests.

After hearing this, the officials who were still discussing this matter stopped talking, said something to Song Wuya, and left together.

After seeing off these officials, Song Wuya was relieved.Originally, he was already a little impatient about this matter, but after these officials came, it was almost out of control.

They also raised a question just now, is it because of a vendetta this week, or is it for other reasons?If it was just a simple vendetta, then this matter would be much simpler.But this is just one of the possibilities, who knows what Master Zhou's death represents.

Mr. Zhou is the Minister of the Ministry of War, and he was the previous boss of Marquis Ding'an.Now Master Zhou died on the street, the reason behind it is naturally unknown to Song Wuya.

However, after these officials arrived, there was such a commotion.On the contrary, Song Wuya's mood gradually calmed down. He felt that he should really think about this issue now.

If this was just a vendetta, then what kind of person did Master Zhou offend? That person hired a murderer to kill someone.And still in this capital city, committing crimes in the street in a fair manner?It can be done quietly after the night comes, after Mr. Zhou falls asleep.

Why did the murderer do this and what is their purpose for doing this, these are the two questions that come to Song Wuya's mind now.

At noon, Song Wuya returned to the backyard, and Situ Wen had already prepared meals for him.

Such a huge event happened in the capital, Situ Wen already knew about it from the conversation between Song Wuya and the guard this morning.

"Even if something big happens, you should eat first!" Situ Wen watched Song Wuya come back, immediately served him a meal, and couldn't help but say something to him. "Is there no clue to the case?"

From the look on Song Wuya's face, it was easy for Situ Wen to see that this case was obviously a difficult problem, and Song Wuya had no clues at all.

Song Wuya sighed heavily and said, "That's right! I didn't have any clue, the Holy Majesty even called me here on purpose and gave me an order to investigate this case thoroughly."

"That's natural. After all, the person who died was a dignified Minister of the Ministry of War, and he was a first-rank official of the imperial court. If he was killed in the street like this, if the imperial court can't even catch the murderer, it would be such a shameful thing!" Situ After hearing this, Wen nodded.

As she said, Song Wuya also knows that this matter is of great importance: "Yes! It's a pity that this matter is on my head, I'm afraid it's not easy to investigate! Those ministers just ran away The officials from the government office came to inquire, and it made me feel dizzy. What purpose do you think the murderer wanted to kill Mr. Zhou on this street? Could it be a vendetta?"

"It's hard to say, it depends on the murderer's motive! Maybe they just committed the crime randomly?" After hearing Song Wuya's question, Situ Wen shook her head and asked a question.

Chapter 8 What is the motivation?

?What is the motivation for Chapter 8

"Random?" Song Wuya looked at Situ Wen suspiciously: "Wen'er, what do you think?"

Song Wuya hadn't thought about this possibility, so he judged from the wounds and the situation at the scene before that there were a lot of murderers, and it was very likely that they came from organized forces such as Wuliangjiao or Guanshan Restaurant.And they did this to put some pressure on the imperial court and Song Wuya.

As for why Mr. Zhou was chosen, Song Wuya didn't think much about it.But he felt that this time they had obviously come prepared and had made sufficient preparations in advance, so they chose to do it at that place.

Now that Situ Wen had spoken, Song Wuya was not in a hurry to refute anything, but wanted to hear if Situ Wen had a different opinion from him.

"You also often say that no matter what the case is, there is always a motive. For example, if someone steals money, why does he steal the money? Is it for food, or for gambling?" After placing the bowls and chopsticks in front of Song Wuya, he continued to fill himself with rice, and said while filling the rice, "Master Zhou died for a reason. Whether it's vendetta or love. The murderer who was able to kill a first-rank official of the imperial court in the capital must have a lot of background. They are not worried about exposing themselves, maybe this may have something to do with Wuliangjiao and Guanshan Restaurant. And they want to do this well, You must go through a series of preparations before you can succeed in one fell swoop. If it is just a vendetta, it will be easy. As an official of the court, Mr. Zhou is basically in contact with people in the officialdom all day long. It is easy to find the target of suspicion. Moreover, most of the contacts in the officialdom are some means of intrigue, and I am afraid that there will be no direct hiring of murderers. So the possibility of vendetta killing can basically be ruled out."

Situ Wen sat down after serving the meal. When the two talked about this matter, neither of them was in a hurry to eat.Song Wuya still waited for Situ Wen to continue speaking, so that he could hear some different thoughts from it.

After Situ Wen sat down, she continued: "So, the person who killed him may not be the person who had a grudge against him. Mr. Zhou may have been chosen by those people just because of bad luck. It is very likely that the murderer committed the crime randomly, and They are also very likely to continue this matter."

"Could it be that they plan to kill all the court officials?" Song Wuya said with a frown.

Situ Wen nodded: "That may not be impossible. After all, these officials are the pillars of the imperial court. Without them, only the emperor is left. How can he control this huge country? This is very interesting. It may be the work of Wuliangjiao."

Obviously, Situ Wen was involved in this matter, and she guessed that it was the work of Wuliangjiao.

But Song Wuya, who also had such a guess, didn't think so.After all, judging from these various signs, although there is a possibility that Wuliangjiao did it, it is not very great.

"If it is really Wuliangjiao! Then why would they do this? We have fought countless times with Wuliangjiao, and we have seen their killers before. But this time the weapon they used was unusual, and This is completely different from their way of doing things! Besides, even if they really want to do this, they should take me as the first choice!"

Song Wuya expressed his thoughts.

But Situ Wen didn't think his words made sense at all: "Wu Ya, you're really wrong to think that way. Ever since we lost the clue of Wuliangjiao in Jiangnan, Wuliangjiao has not appeared in our sight for too long Now, we have no way of guessing how far they have developed. How can you be sure that this is not the style of Wuliangjiao? As for you, you should be their first choice. But don’t forget Now, there are guards arranged by the Holy Spirit beside you, don't you think they don't know this? What happened in Yingzhou happened not long ago!"

Situ Wen's words left Song Wuya speechless.

As she said, Song Wuya's thoughts were indeed thoughts from the past, and since he hadn't been in contact with the Wuliang Sect for such a long time, it was indeed difficult to determine their current methods of doing things.

As for himself, what Situ Wen said was not wrong at all. He was surrounded by the protection of the imperial guards bestowed by the Holy One. The Wuliang Sect must also know this, so they would not be so stupid as to choose to seek their own death.

"What about Guanshan Restaurant?" Song Wuya didn't continue to refute, after all, he didn't know how to refute Situ Wen's words.Since Situ Wen mentioned that the person responsible for this case is very likely to be Wuliangjiao, so Song Wuya wanted to hear Situ Wen's opinion on Guanshan Restaurant on this matter.

Hearing Song Wuya's question, Situ Wen smiled instead: "I knew you would ask this. It really can only be said about the style of behavior. We know that Zhu Yuanlong's identity is Guanshan Restaurant, so It is deduced that the forces behind the Guanshan Restaurant may be the officials of the court. In this way, if they want to get rid of an official, they don't need to be so troublesome. They just need to unite and play him in front of the emperor. That's it. You were demoted to Yingzhou, isn't that the same?"
