Lu Bai hurriedly asked the Jin Yiwei to lead him to Zhao Prison.
He didn't believe that the person behind the scenes was so fast.
It was just a coincidence that Fang Qianhu dug out the case file from the pile of old papers in Langya City. Fu Baihu probably didn't even know that there was such an unfinished case file that had not been included in the case file library because of the relationship with Nanzhen Fusi Jinyiwei.
.
Lu Bai came here as soon as he knew about the case file.
Even if the instigator behind the scenes got the news at the same time, it would not be as fast as him, let alone go ahead of him and kill people.
Could it be that the mastermind behind this is still unpredictable?
Lu Bai went to Zhao Prison full of doubts, "How could Fu Baihu die in Zhao Prison?"
The Jin Yiwei who led the way shook his head, "Master Baihu interrogated Wei Zheng who was brought back last night all night long. Later, when it was late at night and tired, he asked the brothers to rest, and Master Baihu also went to rest."
Waiting until dawn, Fu Baihu arrived at Wei Zheng's cell alone.
Then in the morning when the Jinyi Guards were inspecting, they saw Fu Baihu dead in the Jinyi Guards.
They notified Nanzhen Fusi, who is now in charge of the matter. "At this moment, Nanzhen Fusi's Deputy Baihu is already in the cell questioning the prisoners on the left and right and the guard Jin Yiwei."
Since Lu Bai revitalized the Nanzhen Fusi, the results have been remarkable. The current Nanzhen Fusi is no longer the original Qingshui Yamen. At least in terms of power, with Lu Bai increasing supervision and Mingzhengsi's assessment and other measures, Nanzhen Fusi was allowed to
Has great rights.
Now Nanzhen Fusi cannot be underestimated.
When Lu Bai entered the cell door, Deputy Baihu was scolding him, "This prisoner was caught by the Marquis himself! He should have been under strict supervision, but it's better for you to not tell the prisoner that he died, but Master Fu still didn't know why he died!"
What do you do for food?"
Lu Bai walked in.
Deputy Baihu, who was scolding, turned around and frowned in confusion when he saw Lu Bai, "Who are you?"
The Jin Yiwei who was leading the way hurriedly stepped forward and whispered a few words to Deputy Baihu.
After hearing this, the hundred households quickly ran to Lu Bai's side and said, "I have seen the Marquis in my humble position."
Lu Bai waved his hand, "What's going on?"
The deputy of Baihu raised his hands and replied: "Your Majesty, the prisoner you captured yesterday died together with the master of Baihu. They all died of poisoning."
Lu Bai said nothing.
Fu Baihu's body was together with Wei Zheng's body.
They were sitting opposite each other, and now they were facing each other. There was food and wine in front of them. There was only one dish, which was pork head meat. From the look of the dish and the scattered chopsticks, it was enough to guess that the two of them had been sitting here drinking in harmony.
Fu Baihu and Wei Zheng know each other!
Lu Bai suddenly felt a daze coming over him, as if a lost ship saw the coast, but it turned out to be a mirage. When the scene disappeared, only boundless darkness was left.
Gotta calm down!
Lu Bai squatted on the ground and allowed himself to calm down for a moment before thinking carefully.
He pinched a piece of pork and smelled it, and then smelled the wine glass. The poison was obviously put into the wine, and they drank it together. Looking at the bodies of the two people, they walked peacefully, with no signs of struggle.
Obviously, this is also a killing and silencing, not because of the silencing discovered by Lu Bai, but to eradicate the root cause.
Lu Bai touched his chin and thought carefully.
Cutting off the roots?
He understood that poisoning Fu Baihu would eliminate the roots.
What was the reason for poisoning Wei Zheng?
Wei Zheng almost did everything yesterday, and even helped him deduce Zhu Liu who was poisoned by Tan Desi.
To be honest, Wei Zheng has no value to Lu Bai anymore. If that's the case, why do you still want to poison him? Is it also to get rid of the weeds and get rid of the roots by hooking up with a hundred people hiding in the dark?
What kind of grass should be cut and what roots should be removed?
Lu Bai walked around Wei Zheng's body, wondering whether Wei Zheng had hidden something from him, and what he concealed was the most deadly thing. So after learning that he had not told Lu Bai, the mastermind immediately
Has he silenced himself?
What is Wei Zhenghui hiding?
He is a pig butcher, he can hide -
Lu Bai suddenly thought of a problem. Among the three giants in the pig-killing business, Zhu Liu and Tan Desi both had the idea of purchasing from the palace. According to Wei Zheng, he wanted to get involved but had no chance.
What if he lied here?
After all, what the mastermind behind the scenes is eager to clear up is the missing child case that Lu Bai is investigating.
Lu Bairuo, who was hiding in the darkness, suddenly saw the light, and suddenly he was enlightened. He followed Wei Zheng's path. If Wei Zheng was really involved in the child's case, he must have colluded with the palace.
If Zhu Liu and Tan Desi were on the same path, those two would probably not play without Wei Zheng.
Since Wei Zheng implicated them, and Tan Desi did not mention Wei Zheng, it is obvious that Wei Zheng's connection with these children should have taken another route.
Which way?
Lu Bai thought of what Wei Zheng once said: the eunuch purchased in the palace a year ago was replaced by Eunuch Bai.
Could Wei Zheng be on this line?
If the guess is true, then Wei Zheng's line should not be entangled with Zhu Liu and Tan Desi. It's just that in order to instigate the craftsmen to kill people and silence them, Zhu Liu threatened Wei Zheng with poisoning and asked Wei Zheng to help
He threatened a craftsman, thus helping Zhu Liu's mastermind be quickly silenced.
Of course, this is just a guess.
But judging from Wei Zheng's temperament and the fact that the mastermind behind the scenes is trying to kill him, the mastermind behind the two lines should be the same person, both related to the Eater Demon. It's just that on the way to the palace, he
Two lines are divided.
Why are there two lines?
Lu Bai doesn't know yet.
He stood up and was thinking hard when Deputy Baihu of Nanzhen Fusi came over and said, "Master Marquis, my subordinates have found out that the food and wine were brought in personally by Mr. Baihu. It is very likely that..."
Lu Bai nodded.
This is obvious.
"Oh, by the way, Mr. Hou, in addition to these two people who died, there was also a person who died in the cell not far away." Deputy Baihu said again.
Lu Bai was startled, "Who?"
"You also had someone bring it back yesterday. I heard it's the eldest disciple of Zhu Liu, the head of the pig-killing business."
"What!"
Lu Bai was shocked. Zhu Liu's eldest disciple was also dead. Why?
Zhu's sixth disciple is now less valuable than Wei Zheng. Why did he die?
Deputy Baihu thought Lu Bai didn't understand, so he replied: "Zhu Liu's eldest disciple also died. He also died of poisoning, the same way as these two people died."
Lu Bai moved, something was completely wrong.
Fu Baihu's death can be said to be that he sacrificed this chess piece to plug Wei Zheng's loophole. What was the purpose of Zhu Liu's disciple's death?
Is there any secret hidden in the death of Zhu's sixth disciple?
for example--
Wei Zheng and Zhu Liu's disciples are in the same group?
It is possible that Yiwei Zheng has a temperament that will never give in to others despite his hard work.
If Zhu Liu's disciple and Wei Zheng were together, then Wei Zheng might have been the one who poisoned Zhu Liu.
Lu Bai patted his head.
It's chaos, it's chaos, it's all chaos.
The only way now is to use the Judge's Pen.
Lu Bai asked all the Jinyi guards to leave. He wanted to conduct a thorough investigation here.
The Jin Yiwei looked at each other, wondering how Lu Bai would investigate here alone. However, Lu Bai was the commander of the Jin Yiwei now, and he had the final say over the entire Jin Yiwei. The Jin Yiwei did not dare to have any objections.
They went out.
After Lu Bai took out the judge's pen and sketched in the air, he slowly opened the book, and soon Fu Baihu's charges appeared. It was really hard to understand and shocked at first glance. The evidence on it was densely packed.
The person was already dead. Lu Bai glanced at the charges that had nothing to do with the current case. Suddenly, he narrowed his eyes and saw a familiar name - Zuo Peiyang.
Zuo Peiyang really died in the hands of Fu Baihu during the investigation.
Lu Bai continued to research, and a charge of condoning child trafficking appeared in the book. It roughly stated that starting from ten years ago, Fu Baihu used his power to condone thieves to rob children.
The book condemned this person as a heinous and unforgivable crime, and he was sentenced to eighteen levels of hell.
"The crime is still too light." Lu Bai shook his head and continued to read.
He found what he wanted below. It was indeed Fu Baihu who killed Wei Zheng and Zhu Liu's disciples, and then chose to commit suicide. In the book of life and death below, suicide was actually a crime.
After Lu Bai finished reading, he was not very satisfied with the judge's pen. He could only see who the deceased killed, but not who killed the deceased. This would not be of much help to the case he wanted to investigate now.
Even so, Lu Bai still checked Wei Zheng's criminal evidence.
As expected, poisoning his competitors along the way was Wei Zheng's way of climbing up. In addition, as Lu Bai guessed, Wei Zheng was also involved in the child case. It showed that no less than 20 children died in Wei Zheng's hands.
indivual.
"Beast!" Lu Bai spat.
Just as he was about to look away, he suddenly discovered a problem: six months ago, Wei Zheng had been an accomplice in abducting and trafficking three children. He was only an accomplice, and these three children did not die in his hands.
Lu Bai thought thoughtfully, weren't these the three children the craftsmen brought into the palace?
The time matches.
The quantities match.
Lu Baideng felt a sudden enlightenment, and many questions were easily solved, such as why he was killing pigs so well, but why were three children suddenly sent in by a craftsman, because they were not in the same line.
Another example is why the eldest disciples of Wei Zheng and Zhu Liu should be killed. Because they bypassed Zhu Liu and their line and directly participated in the abduction and trafficking of children in the palace. Therefore, even if the chess piece of Vice Baihu is abandoned, they must be killed immediately.
Can't open my mouth.
Lu Bai then checked the charges against Zhu's sixth disciple.
His charges were much simpler. The lives he was responsible for could be traced back to half a year ago. He was also an accomplice in the murder of three children. It seemed that they were also the three children of a craftsman.
As for the nearest——
Lu Bai narrowed his eyes, Zhu Liu's disciple turned out to be an accomplice in poisoning Zhu Liu.
How is this going?
He remembered yesterday that Tan Desi's charges also listed him as the mastermind of the poisoning of Zhu Liu.
Is this Zhu Liu still having an affair with Tan Desi?
"damn it."
Lu Bai secretly cursed in his heart, these people are playing the Three Kingdoms game inside, aren't they just killing a pig? You colluded with me, I colluded with you, which made his mind more and more confused.
It seems that Wei Zheng and Zhu Liu's eldest disciple have secretly joined forces. It is probably because Wei Zheng failed to poison him last time and saw that Zhu Liu's eldest disciple was having trouble with Zhu Liu again, so he secretly attracted Zhu Liu's eldest disciple.
They somehow colluded with Tan Desi, or they inadvertently knew about Tan Desi's poisoning plan, and then added fuel to the fire.
All in all, all in all, these people are pulling each other off.
Lu Bai told himself that it was not important and he did not need to worry about their relationship. The focus now was to find clues about the mastermind behind the scenes.
"Huh?"
Lu Bai suddenly noticed something interesting.
The murder case that Zhu Liu's disciple was responsible for was half a year ago. In other words, when Zhu Liu poisoned Wei Zheng's daughter, he didn't let his trusted disciple take action?
Was it because there was a rift at that time, and Wei Zheng took advantage of it to win over Zhu Liu's eldest disciple?
Or is Wei Zheng’s daughter not dead at all?
Of course, this is not important at all.
So far, all the clues here have been broken. Once Eunuch Bai died, the clues in the palace were broken; once Zhu Liu and Wei Zheng died, these two clues were also broken. Who asked Wei Zheng and the others to kidnap Ban'er and let the craftsmen
The clues to the killing of Hu Wanwan and others have also been cut off.
The only one who remained unbroken was Tan Desi.
As long as he opens his mouth, there is still hope of solving the case.
wrong!
There is another clue - Fu Baihu.
The reason why the mastermind behind the scenes gave up Fu Baihu's chess piece was not because he expected Lu Bai to find out Fu Baihu's details, but because he had to ruthlessly abandon it in order to quickly kill Wei Zheng and Zhu Liu's disciples in the Jinyi Guards.
They thought that as soon as these three people died, this clue would be broken.
Because in the understanding of Fu Baihu and the mastermind behind the scenes, Fu Baihu is innocent.
His death will only make Lu Bai confused, like a headless fly, unable to find out, and he feels that he is everywhere.
However, Lu Bai accidentally knew the details of Fu Baihu.
Fu Baihu was the protective umbrella in the case of the food-eating demon in Langya City.
This case must involve the harem, so as long as Fu Baihu's transfer trajectory is found, people in Jinyiwei who are related to the case can be found.
Lu Bai didn't have time to notify the Jin Yiwei outside. The man flashed past, and when he reappeared, he had already arrived at Beizhen Fusi.
"who!"
Beizhen Fusi is the core of the Jinyiwei. The Jinyiwei are still very vigilant. When they see someone appearing out of thin air, they are frightened and hurriedly draw their swords.
"I!"
Lu Bai just said.
"Master Hou!"
The Jin Yiwei who came around all raised their hands.
Lu Bai waved his hand and asked Baihu, the Jin Yiwei with the highest official position in front of him, to lead the way and went straight to the case library.
Beizhen Fusi serves as the center of Jinyiwei, and Jinyiwei serves as the intelligence agency of the entire Southern Dynasty. You can imagine how many case files, how much information, and how many secrets there are in the case library.
Therefore, this place is a secret place on weekdays. Not to mention ordinary Jinyi guards, even Lu Bai, who used to be the commander of Nanzhen Fusi, cannot enter easily.
But it's different now.
Lu Bai has the final say in the entire Jin Yiwei.
He walked in quickly, and the Jin Yiwei who was leading the way kept greeting him, asking the Jin Yiwei who was blocking the way to step aside, and let the Jin Yiwei in charge of the door open the door.
When Lu Bai entered the document warehouse, there were many Jinyi guards sorting the documents.
"Surround the archives. No one is allowed to leave or enter without my order." Lu Bai turned around and ordered Baihu Jinyiwei to lead the way.
All the members of the Jin Yiwei family were flattered. The Marquis was planning a big battle. He didn't expect that he would be reused as soon as he met the Marquis.
He hurriedly handed over his hand and said, "Don't worry, Lord Marquis, even a fly can't fly in."
After saying that, Baihu turned around and waved his hand, asking his men to surround the document storehouse outside. (To be continued)
