Turbulent Times Chapter 781: Conspiracy

Zhao Butou cursed in his heart why eating so much salt didn't kill you, but an embarrassed smile appeared on his face, and said: "My lord is wise!"

"Who did he contact all day yesterday?" Chen Sansi snorted coldly and asked.

The catcher said: "My lord, Mr. Li didn't do anything yesterday. He went to the brothel early in the morning, and then met two friends. There was a little conflict between people, and it seemed that they suffered a small loss, and then went to the brothel again..."

"Molested a common girl and got into a conflict with someone?" Chen Sansi quickly grasped the point and asked, "Who is he molesting and where?"

"It's the Tuma Lane over there. That woman is very beautiful, and her husband is from the Red Knife Society."

Chen Sansi thought to himself that this case is not too difficult, it is very likely that it is...

Thinking like this, his expression suddenly froze, he raised his head abruptly, looked at the arrester seriously and asked, "You said just now that his husband is from the Red Knife Society?"

"My lord, that woman's husband is a hall master of the Red Knife Club, who is responsible for managing the various casinos under the Red Knife Club." Of course the police knew why Chen Sansi attached so much importance to the Red Knife Club. Their lords once imprisoned Jing Tian, ​​the leader of the Red Knife Club, but were forced to release him in the end. This kind of thing is extremely rare. Since then, it is no secret that behind the Red Knife Club is the Qin An government. , but the Red Knife Club has focused on running the Xiaoyu Theater and various businesses in the past few years, and rarely caused trouble. It is more like a chamber of commerce, not like a mafia gang. Ordinary historians and ordinary people in the capital thought that the red knife would be used by Wang Junlin to help him make money. After all, such things were not uncommon among noble families and court officials.

"When we came out just now, the Ministry of Criminal Justice had already gone to arrest someone." Seeing the change in Chen Sansi's face, the policeman added with a good look.

After hesitating for a moment, Chen Sansi immediately ordered: "Get the horse ready!"

This is a great opportunity to sell Wang Junlin's personal favor. Now Wang Junlin is in full swing, especially this time helping the emperor to severely damage the Guanlongmen Clan has made many people realize this.

…

In the small courtyard, Luo Shixin was practicing martial arts alone in the backyard. Xiao Cui walked up to Luo Shi with a worried expression on his face, and asked, "Madam, if that apprentice comes again, what should we do? Do you want me to go?" Find the master and tell him about this?"

"No need." Luo Shi shook his head, even if the other party is the son of the Minister of the Ministry of War, but this is the capital, he can't help being too presumptuous, if it wasn't for the strength of wine yesterday, he would not have dared to do something like that matter.

As soon as she finished speaking, there was a knock on the door outside.

"Let me see if the master is back." Xiaocui ran over happily.

She opened the door quickly, and saw a few fierce and terrifying people dressed as officials standing there, her pretty face turned pale immediately, and she asked in a trembling voice: "You guys, who are you looking for?"

"Who is Luo Shi?" The leading official asked in a cold voice.

"I am, I don't know what the official is looking for with the little girl?" Luo Shi came out from the inside, looked at the people in front of him, his face showed a little vigilance.

The officer glanced at her, and said in a cold voice: "Master Li's son was killed half an hour ago. We suspect that you are related to this case. Come with us."

"The apprentice... is dead?" Xiao Cui's body trembled, and her face immediately turned pale.

Luo Shi stood where he was, and after being stunned for a while, he seemed to have thought of something, and his expression suddenly changed.

"Take it away!" The leading guard said coldly, and turned around to leave.

Perfume just came to pick up Luo Shixin to go to Qin Angong's mansion to do his homework in the afternoon. He walked over from not far away, glanced at Luo Shi and Xiaocui, looked at the officials and said, "In that case, let me Let's take it away together."

"The little girl is very beautiful, who are you?" The officer of the Ministry of Punishment turned his head, his eyes lit up, and he looked at Xiangxiang pretending to be fierce and asked.

Xiangxiang looked at him, and said lightly: "When Mr. Li came here yesterday, I was also there, and I was the one who fought with him."

The officer narrowed his eyes slightly and said, "In that case, let's take them away together!"

The guard behind him was holding things like shackles and iron chains, obeying orders and going forward to lock people up, Xiang Xiang's pretty face turned cold, she stretched out her hand to block them, looked at them, and asked back: "Do you have arrest documents from the Ministry of Punishment? "

One of the yamen servants' complexion darkened, and he said in a low voice: "Bold, how can you question the Ministry of Criminal Affairs?"

Perfume's voice became colder, and he said: "If you don't have any, then put away your tricks, do you really think that you are members of the Ministry of Punishment, so you can be lawless!"

The leading officer's eyes flickered. Although Xiangxiang was only fourteen or fifteen years old, she looked and behaved like an ordinary person. I didn't expect this woman to know so much about the procedures of the Ministry of Justice. Now there is an extra blue-clothed guard who is helpful to them. The power of supervision should not be too much. In the end, he waved his hand and said: "It's just a summons for questioning, and the shackles are no longer needed. Take it away."

Luo Shi took this opportunity to call an old servant in the mansion, and told him to take the young master to find Luo Guishou.

Xiang Xiang smiled and said to Luo Shi: "Don't worry, Auntie, nothing will happen, let's go."

"The apprentice is dead?"

The expression on Luo Shi's face is still a little dazed. Although she hates those disciples, she never thought of killing him, and this matter is obviously not simple...

…

…

Wang Junlin and Shen Guang had eaten and were about to leave when suddenly a man rushed up to the second floor. When he saw him, he ran over and knelt down: "My lord, please save my wife."

That's right, it was Luo Guishou who came.

Wang Junlin was taken aback, he quickly stood up and helped Luo Gui up, and said, "Brother Luo, what happened?"

Luo Guishou said: "Jiannei was taken away by the people from the Ministry of Criminal Justice. She also went with Xiangxiang and Xiaocui, the maid beside Jianai."

…

…

The lobby of the Ministry of Punishment.

The four characters of "Mirror Hanging High" are hung high above the hall, and more than a dozen government servants are lined up on both sides.

The faces of the two accompanying principals were mostly puzzled.

The Ministry of Punishment is busy with affairs on weekdays. Unless His Majesty personally orders it, it is generally only responsible for the review of major cases. It is extremely rare for cases like this to be tried in court. If it goes deeper, the Ministry of Punishment actually extended its hand a bit longer this time.

The servant of the Ministry of Criminal Justice asked with a sullen face: "What's the result of the autopsy?"

A gray-haired old man took a step forward and said, "My lord, the deceased died of poisoning. There were bruises on his chest and no fatal wounds all over his body. He took out a hair-thin hair from his right arm. The time of death of the poisoned silver needle was at noon today, and based on this calculation, the time of poisoning should be between one and two hours before noon."
