Chapter 77 Investigating murder cases with ex-boyfriend

Author: Liu Xi Haoyue

Only Lin Xingwei was able to use the tea and food served by the Feng family's wife. Wei Mingji was sitting on the dining table at the top, with a mask covering half of his face, and his cold eyes were staring at Feng Hao who was kneeling at the bottom.

The Yangzhai army surrounded Feng Hao's village and guarded the door of the small hall. All Feng Hao's family members were driven into the bedroom and guarded. Zuo Qiuzhi knelt down on one side of the dining table and spread out paper and pen.

The air was so quiet that one could hear the breathing of everyone. Feng Hao looked up at Wei Mingji in confusion and quickly lowered his head. This kind of frightened silence made Lin Xingwei afraid. She didn't even dare to enjoy the Feng family's snacks, so she could only sit upright.

Look at Wei Mingji, and then look at Feng Hao, who is kneeling on the ground and shivering.

Lin Xingwei understood the purpose of Wei Mingji's silent coldness. It was a deterrent to the person being interrogated, making the other person unable to guess your intentions for a while. When you asked your question, the other person was more able to say it under tension.

Tell the truth.

Wei Mingji played with a short knife in his hand, and finally asked slowly: "What is your relationship with Feng Yu?"

Feng Haozhan raised his hand cautiously and wiped the sweat from his forehead, and said, "Feng Haozhan is my cousin, and he is the county government official."

"How much do you know about him?" Wei Mingji asked coldly.

Feng Hao lowered his head, his eyes flickered, and he said nervously: "His housekeeper knows a little bit about it, but the other villains don't know much about it."

"Where is Feng Yu now?" Wei Mingji asked again?

Lin Xing slightly raised her eyebrows. She had not told anyone that Feng Yu had been detained by her third uncle this morning and sent to the county office for questioning. Wei Mingji asked Feng Yu when he came up. He must have been eyeing Feng Yu just like her.

Feng Hao raised his head and glanced at Wei Mingji, and said tremblingly: "You should be...at home at this moment, right? If you want to find Feng Hao, I can lead the way."

Lin Xingwei couldn't help but chuckle, "There's no need to lead the way. Feng Yu is not at home. He committed something and is now in prison."

This was what Feng Hao said. He was a stingy man in this township. He was in charge of the administration of the township. He also collected taxes, arrested thieves, and managed public security. It was impossible for him to be unaware of the twists and turns behind the Tulushan murder case.

Wei Mingji glanced at Lin Xingwei coldly, obviously not expecting that she would also know about Feng Yu.

Lin Xingwei continued: "More than fifty corpses of villagers from Hexi and Hedong villages were excavated from Tulu Mountain. This was not an ordinary murder case. The court asked the Xiahou County Magistrate for the results, and the Xiahou County Magistrate asked the pavilion chief, Chefu and other township officials for the results.

As a result, if everyone works together to find the murderer, the court will reward him based on his merits. If the murderer cannot be found, the blame will probably fall on you village officials first. Feng Shifu should know the importance, right?"

Feng Hao nodded vigorously. The weather was cool in autumn, and the sweat on Feng Hao's forehead had flowed down to his chin. "Since the missing cases occurred in the two villages, the villain has been worried day and night. He has led the villagers to find out what they can do."

I have searched all over the place, they all disappeared when they were busy in the mountains, everyone is afraid now, they don’t dare to work in the fields anymore, sir, sir!"

Feng Hao crawled forward a few steps, kowtowed to Wei Mingji, and wailed: "Sir, who dares to kill so many people over and over again? Someone is eyeing our land in Tulu Mountain.

, If the adults don’t tell you that you are from Shangdu Mansion, I don’t dare to say anything about this..."

Lin Xingwei took a sip of tea and looked at Feng Hao calmly. It seemed that he and his third uncle had guessed well last night. Someone wanted to occupy the land, so they killed the villagers to make them afraid.

Wei Mingji put down the short knife in his hand, straightened his expression and said, "Tell me everything you know clearly."

Feng Hao buried his face on the ground and began to cry.

Lin Xingwei said softly: "Your thoughts must be confused now and you don't know where to start. Then you can answer whatever I ask."

Feng Hao nodded sadly.

Lin Xingwei asked: "Is the person who wants to paint the farmland in Green Mountain surnamed Huang? Do you know his full name?"

Feng Hao learned from the painful experience, raised his sleeves to wipe away his tears and runny nose, and said seriously: "This spring, there was a businessman named Huang, who claimed to be a businessman from other places. He wanted to paint some cultivated land to the south of Green Mountain to grow medicinal materials. I don't know his full name.

You know, I only heard my cousin, Feng Yu, call him Mr. Huang."

"This matter has been entangled for two months. The villagers were unwilling to sell the cultivated land. I once thought that we could rent it to Mr. Huang instead of selling it. After all, growing medicinal materials is more profitable than growing food. Mr. Huang would then rent our land and hire our workers.

People come to grow medicinal materials, so that we villagers can also have some income."

"But Mr. Huang didn't agree to rent. He only wanted to buy the land. Even if he bought the land, he wouldn't agree to hire our villagers to grow medicinal materials. The opposition from the villagers became even stronger. Mr. Huang didn't want to quarrel with the villagers anymore, so he asked my cousin Feng

Hou went to the county government to discuss buying these lands from the government, but the villagers objected strongly and the government did not agree. After that, Mr. Huang left."

"But since he left, villagers have gradually started to disappear, ranging from one or two to three or four at most. I don't want to think that more than a dozen people have disappeared recently, until their bodies were discovered..."

Feng Hao made a sound in pain and was speechless.

Wei Mingji asked: "When did you first suspect that the murder was related to Mr. Huang?"

Feng Hao cried for a while and choked up: "The villain has long suspected that the missing villagers all went missing while doing farm work in the fields south of Tulu Mountain. It's just that there is no evidence, and no one can be seen alive or dead.

I have no choice but to keep this question in my mind."

Wei Mingji's eyes were gloomy and he asked again: "Have any strangers been here before and after these people disappeared?"

Feng Hao shook his head, "No, even if there were them, they wouldn't be able to come to the village. They would just wait in the mountains."

Lin Xingwei asked: "Have you met Mr. Huang? Do you still remember his appearance?"

Feng Hao shook his head again, "I have seen him coming out of my cousin's house, but I only saw his back once or twice, not his front. He is very well-dressed, all brocade, and he is as tall as an adult."

Wei Mingji and Lin Xingwei looked at each other and didn't ask any more questions.

Someone knocked on the door. Bao Shang opened the door, leaned out and murmured a few words to the people outside, then came in and said: "General, they have completed the investigation and are all back."

Wei Mingji stood up, walked to Feng Hao, patted his back, and said, "Come back to the county office with us. It will be more convenient for us to ask questions!"

After Zuo Qiuzhi collected the recorded confession, Bao Shang called for two men to tie up Feng Hao, cover his head and gagged him, and took him out. Lin Xingwei stuffed two pieces of Feng's snacks into his sleeves and followed him out.

.

She got up early in the morning and didn't have time to eat. Lin Xingwei was already hungry. She wanted to eat just now, but she was afraid that eating would ruin the serious atmosphere during the trial, so she kept holding on.

The family members of the Feng family watched tremblingly as their master was being kidnapped by officials. They wanted to step forward to stop him, but Bao Shang drew his sword and stopped him, scolding: "Feng Hao has committed a crime and is being taken to the county government for interrogation. If you have any

Ask the county government if you have any questions."

Everyone in Shangdu Mansion wore armor and ferocious masks. Even the people who often saw them in the capital would be afraid to avoid them, let alone the women in the countryside who had never seen the world. They were frightened when Bao Shang scolded them.

My legs were so weak that I didn't dare to ask any more questions, just watching Feng Hao being taken away.

After returning to the city, Lin Xingwei, Luo Fu and his party deliberately rode slowly and fell behind the Yangzhai army. Lin Xingwei threw a piece of snacks to Luo Fu, and he also took out a piece and ate it slowly.

All the questions that should be asked have been asked, and those who should be taken have been taken. Her task has been completed, and it should not be her turn to participate in the subsequent investigation and interrogation work.

Lin Xing chewed the snack slightly and asked softly: "Luofu, do you think that Mr. Huang bought the land in Tulvshan to grow medicinal materials?"

Luofu shook his head, "I'm not sure, but if it's really about growing medicinal materials, why don't you want to hire local farmers?"

Lin Xing nodded slightly, "That's exactly the problem. Mr. Huang must be a big shot, and that piece of land must be of great use."

Luofu hid the snacks Lin Xingwei gave him in his arms, took out a letter from his arms, handed it over, and said softly: "I received a letter from Madam Hou last night, asking the princess if she wants to return to the capital."

Lin Xingwei opened the letter and glanced at it before handing it to Luofu. Looking at the tall back of Wei Mingji in front of him, he sighed, "I understand what my mother meant, but now that my third uncle is in trouble, if I just focus on escaping, it won't be possible."

Are you a ruthless person?"

Also, Wei Mingji would definitely think that she had returned to the capital to avoid him.

Lin Xingwei added: "When I return to the county government, I will write to my mother to tell her about the situation here. She will understand me."

Wei Mingji turned his head and said something to Bao Shang. Bao Shang turned his horse and walked back. When he came to Lin Xingwei, he cupped his hands and said: "Princess, our general wants to discuss this case with the princess. The general said that he will be in the shade of the tree in front.

Waiting for the princess."

Lin Xingwei raised her head and looked at the sky. It was already past noon, and her stomach was growling with hunger. She smiled and said, "I will tell General Wei that I will tell General Wei that we will discuss it slowly when we get to the county government. It is urgent to hurry now."

Bao Shang added: "Our general said that there are many people in the county government, so it is difficult to discuss it with the princess alone. The princess should invite her."

Lin Xing frowned slightly and glanced at Wei Mingji's back in the distance. He quickly stuffed the last snack in his hand into his mouth and chased after him.

When they arrived under the shade of a row of trees, Bao Shang asked Zuo Qiuzhi to lead the others to escort Feng Hao to the county seat, while he stayed behind to accompany Wei Mingji.

Lin Xingwei's people stayed not far away, and Luofu followed closely.

When Lin Xingwei arrived, Wei Mingji had already dismounted, tied the horse to the trunk of the tree, and stood under the tree like a bamboo.

He took off his mask and helmet, and looked at it from a distance. Looking at it from a distance, it was as tall as a mountain, as if there was a kind of everlasting beauty in the mountains and fields.
