Turbulent Times Chapter 780: Poison killing

This news caused an uproar in the restaurant. Most of these drinkers were businessmen or Haokun from the capital. If the capital was moved, it would have a great impact on them and directly related to their most immediate interests, so there was a lot of yelling and cursing.

Someone even yelled: "Where are those Guanlong nobles? Why don't they object? Are they all dead?"

The man said loudly again: "None of the nobles of Guanlong raised their voices against it. I heard that after His Majesty proposed moving the capital last time, they opposed it extremely fiercely, but this time, the entire hall was completely silent. Vital interests! But no one objected."

"What else do they object to? The Nine Great Clans of Guanlong and the Dugu Clan support His Majesty's move to the capital. The He Ruo family has been exterminated. The heads of the other seven great Clans are still in the prison of the Lanyiwei Mansion. Who dares to object!" /

"Everyone, this matter has been settled. Before this matter is spread in the Central Plains, everyone, go to Luoyang to buy land and houses!" Someone shouted and hurried downstairs.

…

…

Chen Sansi of Jingzhao Mansion came back from the imperial palace, rubbed his waist, not only sighed secretly, but time is not forgiving, standing for a whole morning will make his back ache. In addition, Madam complained these days that she always went to the concubine's room and neglected him. She wanted to perform well last night, but she did not expect to behave too much, and her body couldn't bear it.

No major events happened in the capital these few days, and he didn't have too many official duties to deal with. As Chen Sansi entered the door, he thought about taking a nap after dinner.

"My lord, something big happened!"

Before Chen Sansi entered, a person hurried in and said anxiously.

"What's the rush, what's the rush, what's the big deal!" Chen Sansi glared at him dissatisfied, "Is there anyone else who can't kill an official?"

The person who came was the head catcher of Jingzhao Mansion. He swallowed a mouthful of saliva and said, "My lord, it's not that someone killed an official, but someone killed the son of a super-body official!"

"Whose son was killed?" Chen Sansi asked with a frown.

"Son of Li Chengfeng, Minister of the Ministry of War."

Chen Sansi's expression froze, although the Minister of the Ministry of War was only a fourth-rank official, but this Li Chengfeng was an old man in the East Palace back then, and he was His Majesty's true confidant. If this matter is not handled properly, it will cause him big trouble.

Thinking of this, Chen Sansi looked unhappy, so he had to rush out. It has been a long time since there has been such a big homicide case in this capital. His Majesty only praised him a few days ago. He has outstanding achievements in public security. In a few days, such a big homicide happened. Isn't this a slap in the face!

The most important thing is that the identity of the deceased is really sensitive this time. The son of Li Chengfeng, the minister of the Ministry of War, and the confidant of His Majesty, he needs to be treated with caution!

"What's going on?" On the way, Chen Sansi asked that Wang Butou.

Wang Butou immediately replied: "The deceased is the son of Mr. Li, the servant of the Ministry of War. It is said that he just returned home from playing in the brothel to rest. When he was about to eat lunch, he knocked on the door to call for someone, but no one answered. When I forced my way in, I found him dead on the bed."

"Died in my own bed?" Chen Sansi frowned and asked, "What is the cause of death?"

Wang Butou replied: "There is no result from Wu Zuo, but according to the Li family servant who reported the case, it should be poisoned."

It's troublesome to die, but the son of the emperor's confidant official died, and the trouble is doubled. An expert, when he was the governor of Yongzhou, he managed the place very well, but he was not good at this kind of case, and his subordinates did not have any experts in this area, so Chen San thought it was a big deal.

He sighed, regained his composure, and said, "Check, check who Mr. Li's family has come into contact with in the past few days, and what things he has done, don't let anything go."

Wang Butou nodded and said: "I've asked someone to ask the servants who usually follow the deceased."

Before reaching the Li Mansion, he ran into several policemen head-on.

"Why did you guys come out?" Catcher Wang was taken aback when he saw this, and asked.

One of them waved his hand helplessly, and said, "The criminal department just took over this case."

When Chen Sansi heard the words, his expression was startled, and he said with some doubts: "The Ministry of Punishment will take over?"

The Ministry of Punishment is responsible for approving various laws and reviewing the criminal cases sent to the Ministry from various places. Unless it is a huge case or it is handled by order, it rarely intervenes in local cases.

Otherwise, since Tai Sui is so big, he can exhaust them to death by only talking about the cases near the capital.

The death of the son of a minister of the Ministry of War is of course considered a major case, but it is only a major case with limited influence.

What's more, he, the governor of Jingzhao Mansion, has not yet arrived, and the Ministry of Justice has already arrived. Chen Sansi's eyes flickered, there must be some ulterior reason for this.

However, if the Ministry of Criminal Affairs likes to intervene, let it intervene. It just so happens that I can get out and avoid this trouble, which is actually a good thing.

"Have you asked me, how did Mr. Li's family die?" No matter how he looked at the abnormal behavior of the Ministry of Justice, he was unwilling to get involved in this matter, and even Li Chengfeng didn't plan to pay a visit. After all, Li Chengfeng is definitely not in a good mood at this time. Thinking of this, when Chen Sansi returned to the government office, he asked a question by the way.

The arrester immediately replied: "Wu Zuo has been inspected and died of poisoning. A spot on the corpse's arm was blue with a small needle hole, and a very thin silver needle was taken out of it. I didn't remember what kind of poison, according to the author, that kind of poison is extremely rare, and a small amount can be fatal, but it will not die immediately. It takes four to one or two hours for the poison to spread. The poison spreads all over the body, and the poisoned person often feels Sleepy, dying silently in sleep."

"Isn't that easy?" Chen Sansi shook his head and said, "Just push back the time of his death by an hour or two to see what he was doing at that time and who was around him." , wouldn't it be easy to catch the murderer?"

Thinking about this case, it is not difficult, but Chen Sansi felt a little regretful at the moment. He should have acted faster just now, and if he had solved the case earlier, he would not have been preempted by the Ministry of Criminal Justice. Performed in front of him once.

Wang Catcher looked at Chen Sansi, scratched his head and said, "My lord, this case doesn't seem to be that simple. Mr. Li has met many people in the past half a day. Who is poisoning and who is the one who poisoned him?" It’s hard to judge.”

Chen Sansi was stunned for a moment, looked at him and said: "I have seen more cases than you have eaten, so I don't have this point in my heart. Can you remind me? Arrest all the people he came into contact with yesterday." Is that enough?"
