Chapter 34: The Boulder Mechanism


Looking at Li Muqing and hearing his words, Xie Fanghua's heart warmed.The murder of Imperial Physician Sun was obviously related to the murder case in the Xishan Military Camp, because Imperial Physician Sun was killed on the way to the Xishan Military Camp.And she then went out of the city, just in time to see the scene of the crime.This case involves a lot of things, in addition to the Fan Yang Lu family and the Zhao Jun Li family, there are also Yongkang Hou Mansion, Prince Ying's Mansion, Zuo Xiang's Mansion, etc., there must be a conspiracy behind it, and it is unwise for anyone who is not affected but is involved himself.Prince Ying's Mansion can't get rid of it, but Li Muqing and the Right Prime Minister's Mansion can completely get rid of it.But now that Li Muqing came out to help her like this, he was involved, and he braved such a heavy rain."

You don't have to come, I can still deal with these things."

Xie Fanghua whispered.Li Muqing smiled, "What I once said, do you remember" Xie Fanghua pursed the corners of his mouth and nodded, "Yes." ”"If you remember, you don't have to repeat it."

Li Muqing's words fell, and he arched his hand to Liu An, "Lord Liu, do you need any help" Liu An was surprised that Li Muqing appeared here in the rain, but when he saw him coming, he walked directly to Xie Fanghua's side, and suddenly remembered that the son of the Right Prime Minister's Mansion had asked to marry Miss Fanghua of the Zhongyong Mansion, but it was a pity that the providence made people, and finally the emperor gave the holy decree of marriage for the second time, and married Miss Fanghua to the current Zheng Xiao Prince, and his sister gave marriage to the current prince.Although the wedding of the crown prince and Miss Li of the Right Prime Minister's Mansion has not been put on the agenda, there is a holy purpose for marriage, and it is difficult to guarantee that she will not become the future crown princess.Then he is the prince's brother-in-law, and maybe he will become the future uncle.Although Li Muqing has not entered the court now, with his talent and ability, the future is limitless, and he naturally does not dare to offend.Liu An's brain teaser was in a hurry, and he hurriedly gave up his hand and said, "Li Gongzi came just in time, after all, he is a fool, he doesn't understand martial arts, and now the death of the Imperial Doctor Sun and the coachman who has been tested has a different way with the opinions put forward by the little princess, you are a person who practices martial arts, you can help take a look, it's the best." ”Li Muqing nodded, "I will do my best to help you in what I can, not to mention that Imperial Doctor Sun also has a deep friendship with the Right Prime Minister's Mansion, and I can't let him be killed like this in his old age, so after getting the news, I hurried over." ”After the words fell, he added, "After I got the news, I sent someone to the criminal department to report the case.The people from the Criminal Department have also arrived, and they will be there soon. ”"Imperial Physician Sun's identity is not an ordinary person, and this case naturally has to be taken over by the Criminal Department, and I, Jing Zhaoyin, am afraid that I will not be able to handle such a big murder case.It is really hateful to kill people on the edge of the capital under the blue sky and white sun. ”Liu Andao.Li Muqing nodded, stepped forward, and carefully checked the cause of death of Imperial Doctor Sun and the coachman.Liu An accompanied him to take a look.After Li Muqing looked at it for a while, he said, "Imperial Doctor Sun was killed, and this coachman committed suicide."

Anyone who knows martial arts knows that there is still a slight difference between the method of killing and the method of suicide. ”The faces of the two turned even whiter when they heard this.One of them said unwillingly, "Gongzi Li, you just came here and talked to the little princess" Li Muqing narrowed his eyes, and in the face of the questioning of the two, he was not annoyed, but said lightly, "What I said with the little prince just now did not avoid people, if Lord Liu and everyone are good at hearing and seeing, they should be able to hear it clearly." ”The man choked.Li Muqing said again, "I am not the only one who knows martial arts in Beijing, since the people from the Criminal Department are here, let the people with excellent martial arts in the Criminal Department take a look, and you can see one or two." ”Liu An glared at the two servants, and hurriedly said, "Li Gongzi is right, just because Imperial Doctor Sun's identity is unusual, for so many years, he has been an indispensable and important doctor for the Imperial Hospital, the emperor and the harem.Regarding his death, we must be cautious and cautious. ”Li Muqing nodded and said no more.In such a moment, the people from the Criminal Department and the family members of Imperial Physician Sun's mansion arrived.An adult from the criminal department named Han Shu, and before he could speak, after the two daughters-in-law of Imperial Physician Sun got out of the car, they rushed forward crying and cried at the murdered Imperial Physician Sun.Sun Zhuo saw that his mother and Erniang were going to move the body of Imperial Doctor Sun, and knew that the autopsy had not been completed, so he stopped the two and said, "Mother, Erniang, grandfather was killed by someone, and now the case is being investigated, you two don't touch grandfather." ”"Which black-hearted person wants to kill his father-in-law for so many years, but his father-in-law has not offended anyone," Sun Zhuoniang cried bitterly.Sun Zhuo shook his head.Sun Zhuo's second mother also cried, "Uncle is no longer in the house, my father-in-law has an accident like this, what can we do in the future in the Taiyi Mansion" Sun Zhuo bit his lip and said, "Mother, second mother, you will definitely be able to find out the murderer and avenge your grandfather."

You get out of the way first, and let the adults from the criminal department come forward to investigate the case. ”The two nodded, crying out of the way."

Little princess, Li Gongzi" Han Shu stepped forward to greet Xie Fanghua and Li Muqing."

Lord Sun" returned the salute in turn.Han Shu turned his head to look at Liu An, "Lord Liu, what is the current situation" Han Shu has a bigger official rank than Liu An, Liu An hurriedly saluted, replied respectfully, and briefly said the process after coming.After Han Shu heard this, he said, "In this way, the results of the autopsy between the little princess and Li Gongzi and the two servants are different" "Exactly." ”"I've brought people too, so let them test it."

Han Shu waved his hand behind him.Two servants stepped forward, and the two servants looked at each other for a while, glanced at each other, and arched their hands to Han Shu, "My lord, the two of us think that the little princess and Li Gongzi have a point."

Doctor Sun was killed, and the coachman committed suicide.However, it may also be wrong, after all, the difference is too small.It is also necessary to find a martial arts master to testify again. ”Han Shu nodded and beckoned to the two guards behind, "Come and have a look." ”The two guards immediately stepped forward, looked at it for a moment, and spoke in unison, "Lord Hui, this Imperial Doctor Sun was killed, and this coachman did commit suicide."

The same dagger, suicide and killing, although the imitation is the same, but there is also a difference. ”"Are you sure?"

asked Han Shu.The two nodded in unison.Han Shu looked at Liu An, "If this coachman commits suicide, it seems that this is a big suspicion, let's check it from this coachman first" Liu An hurriedly said, "Such a big case is naturally handed over to the Criminal Department for thorough investigation and trial." ”Han Shu sighed, "Imperial Physician Sun's identity, now that he has been killed, I will go to the crown prince first." ”Liu An heard this, "I heard that the prince went to the Xishan military camp after getting the news of the accident in the Xishan military camp.Now it's not in the palace, and it's not in the East Palace. ”Han Shu bowed his head, "I know this." ”After the words fell, he looked at Xie Fanghua, "Little princess, I heard that you and Imperial Doctor Sun are going to go to the Xishan military camp." ”Xie Fanghua nodded."

It stands to reason that Imperial Physician Sun should go out of the city with you."

Han said.Xie Fanghua looked at Yu Zhuo.Yu Zhuo immediately explained the reason, and after he finished explaining, he looked at the painting and the ink again.Shi Hua and Shi Mo added, "Imperial Doctor Sun was killed, there are many suspicions, the two of us went to Jing Zhaoyin to report the case on the order of the young lady, and after going to Jing Zhaoyin, we went to Imperial Doctor Sun's Mansion to deliver the message, but after the two of us went, I found that Imperial Doctor Sun's Mansion had already received the news, which was said to be a letter from a woman, which was very strange." ”"There is such a thing," Han Shu looked at the family members of the Imperial Physician Sun's Mansion.Sun Zhuo immediately said, "Yes, I heard that my grandfather was killed, and after I got the news, I came first."

At that time, the little princess said that she had assigned a servant girl to report the case and pass on the news, I originally thought it was her maidservant, but now that I see the two of them, I am sure that the woman who went to the Sun Taiyi Mansion to report the news must not be one of them. ”"In other words, when I came here and found Imperial Doctor Sun, someone already knew about it first."

Xie Fanghua said.Han Shu nodded, "This is also a suspicious point, it seems that there is a woman who knew that Imperial Doctor Sun was killed long before the little princess, but she didn't go to Jingzhao Yin Yamen to report the case, nor did she go to the Criminal Department to report the case, but only informed Imperial Doctor Sun's Mansion."

It's weird. ”"Sun Zhuo, go back to painting" Li Muqing asked Sun Zhuo.Sun Zhuo nodded, "Although I studied medicine with my grandfather since I was a child, I also learned calligraphy and painting. ”"Do you remember the appearance of that fateful woman?"

asked Li Muqing."

Yes.At that time, the woman only said a word to the gatekeeper, but I was about to leave the house, so I saw it. ”Sun Zhuo said, "After the woman left, I told my mother and Erniang, and I came on horseback. ”"So you can draw her in this way."

Li Muqing said.Sun Zhuo nodded, and immediately said to Han, "Lord Han, go back to the city now, and after I go back, I will be able to draw that woman immediately." ”Han Shu hesitated for a moment and looked at Xie Fanghua, "Little princess, it's not early, do you still plan to go to the Xishan camp" "Naturally, is there anything else Lord Han needs me to do" Xie Fanghua asked, "If you record a confession, my two maidservants can go instead of me." ”Han Shu hurriedly said, "Because the emperor is not in good health, he fell ill again, but the murder of Imperial Doctor Sun is really big, and I must tell His Royal Highness the Crown Prince as soon as possible."

In this way, it is necessary to immediately go to the Xishan military camp to meet the prince.If the little princess also goes to the Xishan military camp, the lower official will be on the same road with you. ”"What about here," Xie Fanghua asked."

Since Lord Liu is here, there are still these people from the Criminal Department, let them clean up here first and bring people back."

Han Shu said, "After all, the killing of Imperial Physician Sun may have something to do with the case of the Xishan Military Camp."

I am in charge of the Criminal Department, if I want to find out this case, I will have to go to the Xishan military camp sooner or later, so it is better to go now. ”"It's fine."

Xie Fanghua nodded and looked at Li Muqing.Li Muqing bowed his head, "I'm fine, let's go to the Xishan military camp with you."

It's not early, and I'm not very relieved that it's raining so heavily. ”"Thank you."

Xie Fanghua did not shirk.After agreeing on this, Han Shu called Liu An aside, and the two discussed for a while, and then he called someone from the Criminal Department and gave instructions.Sun Zhuo immediately stepped forward and looked at Xie Fanghua, "Little princess, my grandfather" He paused and bit his lip, "You are going to the Xishan Military Camp, then my grandfather's case, can it really be solved" "As long as someone does it, it will definitely be solved, not to mention that there are so many flaws." ”Xie Fanghua looked at him, and saw that the two women on the side were crying together, and they couldn't take charge of things, but now only this one teenager can use it.I didn't expect the people of Mrs.

Sun's Mansion to be so thin.She thought for a while and said, "In this way, you go back with the people from the Criminal Department first, and I will send a letter back to Prince Ying's mansion and ask the princess to take care of this matter and solve the case as soon as possible." ”"Thank you, little princess."

Sun Zhuo saluted her respectfully.He felt that if it weren't for Xie Fanghua, the fact that the coachman committed suicide just now would not have been revealed, and she believed Xie Fanghua.What's more, he has been teaching by his grandfather's side since he was a child, and recently, his grandfather often said that the young lady of the Zhongyong Marquis Mansion is not ordinary, and her medical skills are superb, and he has been practicing medical skills all his life, but he is not as good as her.He also said that if he had the opportunity, he could learn a thing or two from her, and it would definitely be of great benefit to his medical skills.Reading between the lines is all appreciation.Therefore, instead of believing in Jing Zhaoyin and the Criminal Department, he calmed down at this time, and believed in her more about the murder of his grandfather.After a while, Han Shu had already finished his orders, Yuzhuo got into the carriage again, and Xie Fanghua sat in the carriage.Li Muqing and Han Shu were both wearing ponchos and got on the horse together.The group continued to the camp of the West Mountain.The waiter and the waiter Mo sat in the car, left the scene of the crime, and whispered to Xie Fanghua, "Thanks to the people from the Criminal Department invited by Li Gongzi, if there is no Li Gongzi, Miss will definitely delay for a long time, and she will not be able to get out, so she will go to the Xishan military camp now." ”Xie Fanghua was silent."

Miss, it's really strange that today's incident is really strange, Imperial Doctor Sun is so good, and he was killed like this."

The waiter said, "All the mansions in the capital must have received the letter now.You said that if it is to prevent Imperial Physician Sun from going to the Xishan Military Camp, then what is the use of stopping Imperial Physician Sun alone, even if he is dead, but there is still a young lady.Miss's medical skills are higher than those of Doctor Sun. ”"That's different, Taiyi Sun is the old doctor of Tai Hospital, who has been in Beijing for many years, and has never participated in the affairs of various mansions and palaces."

Shi Mo said, "Miss is different, although Miss's medical skills are high, but she has no official rank, except for saving the Eighth Prince and Mrs.

Yongkang Hou, and being rumored, there is no way to be known." ”The waiter nodded, and wanted to say something, but when he saw that Xie Fanghua was silent, he stopped talking.Shi Mo was also silent.Xie Fanghua sat quietly against the wall of the car, and remained silent.Outside, the rain seemed to be heavier, and the rain curtain crackled on the roof of the car, and in addition to the rain, it was accompanied by the wind, beating the passers-by mercilessly.After a while, Xie Fanghua suddenly said, "My brother has been gone for three days." ”"Yes, miss.""

This rain seems to be common, and my brother should be able to catch this kind of rain on the road."

Xie Fanghua said.The waiter and the waiter Mo nodded in unison, "Miss don't worry, such a big wind and rain, if you can't withstand it, the Hou Ye will find a place to stay, after all, there is still the merciful county lord to follow." ”Xie Fanghua bowed.The carriage continued on its way, and there was no sound except the beating of the wind and rain.After walking for more than ten miles, I turned into the mountain road to the camp of Xishan, and just entered the mountain road, suddenly there was a sound on the hillside.Li Muqing shouted, "Hurry back" Yuzhuo reacted immediately, immediately pulled the reins of the horse, and the carriage staggered several steps.Li Muqing stepped forward, stopped in front of the carriage, waved his hand to grab the reins of the horse, and with a hard pull, the carriage stepped back more than a dozen steps.Immediately afterward, there were several loud "bang-bang" sounds, which seemed to roll down the hillside.The waiter and the waiter were startled, and just about to go out, Xie Fanghua raised his hand to stop the two and stretched out his hand to open the curtain.I saw dozens of boulders rolling down the hillside in front of me, rolling down from the halfway point of the mountain.If you can't dodge just now, then, if you are hit by a boulder, you will definitely be destroyed and killed.Her face turned cold, and she turned her head to look at Li Muqing.Li Muqing was also holding the reins of the horse and looking at her.Yuzhuo's face was already frightened, "How can there be rocks rolling down here" "There are rocks rolling down, naturally it is man-made" Xie Fanghua put his thumb and ten fingers to his lips, whistled lightly, and more than a dozen black-clothed people suddenly appeared in the dark more than ten meters behind him, and immediately ran like arrows towards the place where the boulder rolled down halfway up the mountain.Li Muqing seemed to be about to call someone, but he put down his hand when he saw this.Han Shu of the Criminal Department was also scared enough, just now he was riding side by side with Li Muqing, the first time the incident happened, Li Muqing pushed his horse back a few steps, and he himself stopped the front, he watched the boulder roll down from in front of Li Muqing, if he was a little bit of martial arts, he would be killed by the boulder.The boulder shook the earth for a while, blocking the road in front of it two walls high."

On this road, how can it be that no matter how heavy the rain is, it is impossible for such a large and concentrated mountain rock to roll down together, but to smash people when we pass by."

Han Shu was annoyed, "Who is it, how can it be reasonable?"

”Xie Fanghua said quietly."

It seems that today's events are really unusual."

Li Muqing suddenly smiled, "For many years, I haven't encountered such an interesting thing, first the murder case in the Xishan military camp in the middle of the night yesterday, followed by the murder of Imperial Doctor Sun, and now this is another boulder murder case." ”"The Xishan military camp is only thirty miles away from the capital.Now the road has only been twenty miles, and there are still ten miles to go.Such a big boulder, a piece is a hundred pounds, and after moving, it will be dark. ”Han said."

I'm going to the barracks when it's dark, I'm going to see what the Xishan barracks can't go."

Xie Fanghua sneered.When Han Shu suddenly found that the little princess had a cold face, she looked extremely fierce and murderous, different from ordinary gentle women.In this kind of scene, if it were an ordinary woman, I am afraid that she would have screamed and her legs weakened in fright.No wonder the little prince can take the trouble to marry back to the house.After waiting for about two teas, Qingge returned with someone and said to Xie Fanghua, "Master, no one was caught, the boulder was arranged according to the mechanism earlier."

On the other side of the mountain, a mechanism was placed, and if you pulled the iron rope, the boulder would roll down.When we arrived, there was no one on the other side of the mountain.What's more, such a heavy rain did not leave a trace except for the arranged mechanism. ”:
