Chapter 14 Su Muzhe
"Come on, someone—killed!"
Luo Jing was still asleep in the early morning when he was awakened by a scream.A group of soldiers who got up to patrol in the morning rushed into a remote alley when they heard the shouts. A dozen people gathered in the alley, and some curious residents opened their windows one after another.
The corporal took a look and found a female corpse lying on the ground, and a richly dressed dude lay beside him.
This one is not dead, it seems that he just drank too much.
He went up to pat the man: "Little brother, wake up, what were you doing here last night?"
Hearing a commotion, Li Luosu felt dissatisfied that someone was disturbing him to sleep, so he turned over in a daze and said, "Go away, don't disturb the prince's dream..."
Stealing is a small matter, but murdering and stealing money is a major matter. Regardless of whether the dude lying on the ground is the murderer or not, since he appeared at the murder scene, he must be arrested and follow the rules.
Seeing that he didn't wake up, the corps chief waved his hand and said, "The corpse is taken to the house, this guy is carried back to the yamen for me, and locked in the cell first! The others are scattered!"
***
In front of the Prime Minister's Mansion on the right, Yu Lingbo was a little anxious.
He hasn't seen the prince since noon yesterday. He thought he just skipped class and went to some remote palace to play, and he would come back at night, but when he entered the East Palace bedroom this morning, he found that the quilt on the bed was neat. , as if no one had moved at all.Yu Lingbo had a bad idea in his mind, he went to Shuge and Huyuan to look again, but he still couldn't find Li Luosu.Thinking of his recent skipping classes and always running outside the palace, he went to the casinos and dance halls he frequented to check again, but still found nothing.
It wasn't until the street became bustling that he heard someone in the teahouse talking about the murder in the capital in the morning.
"...I heard that it was a dancer who died, and there was a dandy lying beside her."
"The young master refused to admit that he had killed someone, and even said that he was the prince..."
"How can a prince sleep on the street hahaha, I think it's probably because he accidentally killed the dancer after drinking, and when he was found scared, he said he was the prince, trying to scare people, and he didn't even look at what time it was , who still believes this set..."
Yu Lingbo thought in his heart that he must not be a good or bad spirit. After careful consideration, he still planned to go to the Tai Tuo first.
"Is what you said true?"
Duanmuyao felt a little headache. He thought he didn't want to force the little guy too hard this time so he didn't arrest him, but it turned out that there might be a murder case. It seems that we can't be too merciful when dealing with the little devil.
At this time, the butler came to report: "Master, Baicheng Defense is here, saying that he has something important to discuss with you."
"Let him in."
With a sword in his hand, Bai Zhu strode into the front hall with a somewhat uneasy expression on his face.
"Yu Rong, was the prince in the palace last night?"
Duanmu Yao glanced at Yu Lingbo and said, "Not here, at least not in the East Palace."
"Then it's probably really him..." Bai Zhu's shoulders slumped, and he said to him: "Although I am in charge of the patrol team in the capital, I just heard that what happened in Wenmo Lane in the east of the city this morning There was a murder case in which a dancer died. The patrolling soldiers caught a suspect on the spot and sent him to the prison of Jingzhao Mansion. When the suspect was interrogated, he said he was the prince and wanted to see you. Because the identity is uncertain, it is now in a stalemate. Jingzhaofu is a subordinate of the Criminal Ministry, and I am in the Ministry of War, and I cannot visit the prison without an important reason, so just in case, I think you'd better go to Jingzhaofu to confirm one time."
"I see, Qingtai, you go back to the palace first and then go and have a look, I'm going to Jingzhao Mansion."
Duanmu Yao frowned, picked up the token and went out.
***
In the prison of Jingzhao Mansion, Li Luosu sat leaning against the wall.
He hated it here, there was no sunlight, the air was filled with the musty smell of straw, and from time to time a few big mice slipped past the walls.
It's really disgusting, and it's not fun at all compared to Donggong.
Sitting on the prickly pile of straw, Li Luosu began to miss the soft and clean fur of the white tiger, and the smooth and fragrant bedding in the bedroom.
I don't know if the Taifu found out that he was missing... But the perverted old master would think that it would be better if he disappeared, so that he would never have to teach this worrying student.
Li Luosu hugged his aching knee, buried his head in the crook of his arms, and smelled the lingering alcohol smell on his body, he couldn't remember what happened last night.
"Suspect No. [-], someone is visiting the prison."
There was the sound of an iron chain being loosened at the door, and a pair of soap boots stopped in front of Li Luosu.
"It seems that you are doing well in this prison."
A familiar voice sounded, as clear and clean as the morning light in spring.Li Luosu raised his head, it was the Taifu whom he hadn't seen for a long time.
The last time I saw Duanmuyao, he was still a sloppy drunkard, but today he is still the same as before, neatly dressed, elegant, the stubble on his chin has disappeared, and he is still the same as before when he walks in the palace. Prime Minister Duanmu of Hongjian.
He became human again.
Li Luosu curled his lips, although the Taifu always had nothing good to say about him, but his teacher's embarrassing side has been completely grasped by him as a handle.Thinking of this, he couldn't help laughing again.
"I can be so happy here. It seems that I am redundant. You should be able to go out by yourself without the help of others."
As soon as Duanmuyao turned to leave, Li Luosu stopped him.
"Stop, you have to get me out, I really didn't kill anyone!"
"Oh? If that's the case, why didn't you explain the situation to Governor Jingzhao?"
"Because, because I drank too much and don't remember anything..."
Looking at the depressed expression on the little guy's face, Duanmu Yao couldn't help but want to laugh.
"Then follow me to prove your identity to Fu Yin."
"It's useless, I've already shown the token to that brainless old antique, and he actually said I stole it!"
Li Luosu became extremely angry when he mentioned Jingzhao's official, he had never seen such an official who made people feel overwhelmed.
Yin Jingzhao, who woke up in the morning, had just finished his breakfast when he received a report from the patrolling guards in the capital.After checking the dancer's body, he ordered the suspect to be brought to the hall to kneel, and asked the dizzy Li Luosu: "Who is in the hall? Report your name and occupation."
"...Li Luosu, Crown Prince Rong..."
"Presumptuous! How dare a daring thief dare to impersonate His Royal Highness the Crown Prince!"
With a slap of the gavel, Li Luosu woke up, and found himself kneeling on a hard bluestone slab, in front of him, an unknown little official was blowing his beard and staring at him, so he stood up immediately.
"The prince is me! Where did you come from? No long-eyed dog official!"
"Come on! Push him down!"
Li Luosu had never kneeled on something hard, even the imperial study room was carpeted.
He shouted: "I have a token, if you don't believe me, see for yourself!"
The yamen officer searched for his token and presented it up. The governor of Jingzhao looked at it for a long time, and said, "The token is real, but how could His Royal Highness sleep on the street next to the corpse? I think the token is probably [-]% You stole it!"
Li Luosu had never encountered such a situation, and was momentarily shocked and speechless.
stole?How can it be!What about the corpse?
"Not only did he kill people, but he also stole the forbidden items in the palace, and even insulted the court officials in court. Come here! Press him down, and hand him over to the Ministry of Punishment for disposal after the truth is found out!"
Seeing that there was something he couldn't explain clearly, Li Luosu shouted in a hurry: "I am the prince! If you don't believe me, go ask the right prime minister Duanmu Yao! See how he can deal with you if he knows!"
"Um...so that's why you're in here?"
After listening to Li Luosu's words, Duanmuyao felt that teaching him all these years was really in vain.
He has also heard of the name of Jingzhaofu Yin, and he knows that this lord is notoriously straight-minded, so he never expected that they would meet this time.
"How much do you remember about last night?"
Li Luosu tilted his head and thought for a while, and said, "The alley was very dark at the time, but there should be another person besides me."
"I see, you stay here first."
Duanmuyao took off his coat and covered Li Luosu's body, and then left the cell.
"Where are you going?"
"Of course to fish you out."
***
Wenmo Lane in the east of the city was already remote, and even after the murder case, no one cared about it. Only two yamen servants from Jingzhao Mansion waited here for the on-site inspection.
Duanmu Yao went in to check after showing them the token.
Not far from the entrance of the alley was a puddle of vomit, probably from the little guy last night.He continued to walk forward, and when he was almost at the end, he saw the place where the corpse was, and the area had been circled by white circles.There was nothing special around here, and he walked further, and soon came to the end, where it met another narrow alley.Looking to the right, there is a blocked wall, so if there is another person, he should escape to the left.
Duanmu Yao turned to the left, and within a few steps, he saw a thing on the ground that was shining brightly from the sun.
This is... the token of the Ministry of War?
***
"Wangfu Yin, can you let him go now?"
"Um……"
Jingzhao Fu Yin looked at the signboard Duanmuyao handed him, and said, "Prime Minister You, even if you find such a token, it can only prove that another person has been there, and it is still impossible to clear his suspicion. Ah, if the crown prince really violated the law, he would have to commit the same crime as the common people, and if there is no solid evidence, forgive me for not being able to release him."
"But this matter does not only involve the crown prince. You, the governor of Jingzhao, have the right to investigate the Ministry of War? I advise you to transfer the case to the third department for trial. Otherwise, if the murderer is found to be someone else, your Wu Sha I'm afraid I might lose it."
Duanmuyao has never spoken to an official of the same court in this tone before. This time, the little guy is really involved too deeply. The future king of a country must not have such a stain. If he can hand over the three divisions, he can take the initiative into himself hands.
Although Yin of Jingzhao Mansion is straight-headed, he still knows the rules. He Jingzhao Mansion can only try civilian cases in the capital. The relatives of the state asked Dali Temple to come out, and Yushitai supervised and handled the case.
"Then do as Prime Minister You wishes."
The gate of Jingzhao Mansion Prison was opened again, and Duanmu Yao walked in.
"Come out and come back with me."
"never mind?"
Li Luosu looked at his tutor in surprise and jumped up happily.
"It's something, but it's not here. Come out here and follow me to Dali Temple."
Of course, I have to go back to the East Palace and copy my homework.
Duanmuyao pulled up the coat that was given to the little guy earlier to cover his head, then took his hand and walked out of the prison door.
The case was officially handed over by the Jingzhao Mansion to the joint trial of Dali Temple, the Ministry of Criminal Justice and Yushitai. In order to preserve the reputation of the prince, Li Luosu was listed as an invisible witness under Duanmuyao's suggestion. The Supreme Commander and others are all ignorant of the truth.
"Is that enough?"
Li Luosu was brought back to the East Palace by Duanmuyao, and was locked into the Book Pavilion as soon as he entered.
Duanmuyao slammed the textbook that was about to be punished on the table, and put his hands on the two armrests of the chair. He leaned down and stared at Li Luosu, and said, "Of course not. He skipped class while drinking and went shopping in a brothel, and got involved in a case." Murder case, do you want to pretend that these things never happened? Could it be that the teacher taught you for nothing in the past ten years?"
Duanmu Yao's snow-white skin was flushed with anger. It was the first time Li Luosu saw the Taifu with this expression, and it was completely different from the anger he had when he was driving him away.
"Then the punishment... I will be fined, anyway, it is copying books..."
He glanced at the thick stack of textbooks, feeling a little desperate, and asked Duanmuyao with blinked eyes: "Can you copy less..."
In recent years, the little guy has rarely acted like a baby with him.
Duanmu Yao sighed inwardly, and said: "This body smells really dirty, give me a bath now."
Li Luosu was pulled into the bedroom, and Duanmuyao pushed him into the bathtub that had been prepared, and rubbed him with his hands.
The little guy is still a little cleaner and cuter.
***
A few days after Li Luosu entered Dali Temple, the Ministry of Criminal Justice arrested a suspect.
Du Zhijuan never expected that something would happen just after recommending someone, with Zhao Wuyue's useless guts, if he also confessed his betrayal...
He had a small calculation in his heart, and finally came to this step, so he must not fall short.
I vaguely heard that there was some invisible witness before, it would be great if I could pour dirty water on that person...
Du Zhijuan immediately figured out a plan in his mind.
