Wang Hongyu's analysis was logically clear, and everyone thought about the details repeatedly.
Han Jun thought for a moment: "If the murderer had used smoke, you would know by inspecting the corpse. There is someone in the army that I pass by in Baoding Mansion who is good at interrogating and using poison. If I ask her to come and inspect, the truth will be revealed."
Then he ordered to the general magistrate: "Strictly check whether there are any thin people in the temple, and strictly check the Baoding drug store to trace the clues of drug addiction."
This capable governor had been worrying about the Liaodong War, Baoding's recruitment, training and supplies. In the midst of his busy schedule, he finally figured out the whole story. Naturally, someone would be responsible for the follow-up investigation and arrest.
"Wang Wuju, you have suffered a lot in the past two days, but the suspicion cannot be removed for the time being. You can only come out after the people I invited have found out."
Wang Hongyu thanked Han Jun, the governor of Baoding. When he looked up, he saw Han Jun looking at him with a deep look, as if he had something to say that was not convenient to say at this time.
At this time, Yang Lian also understood that this matter had little to do with Prince Fu and Concubine Zheng, and it was impossible to slander the prince. Now that the task had been completed, although he was a little worried about his face, he had to accept the result for the time being.
But he finally remembered this little martial arts scholar who made him lose face.
...
Wang Hongyu returned to the cell and was not released that day.
Han Jun said that among the soldiers passing by Baoding Prefecture, there was someone who was very good at investigating the use of poison. The truth should be found out soon~
Maybe there will be a chance to release it early tomorrow morning.
Suddenly, there was a gentle sound of the lock being unlocked at the end of the cell corridor, and seven people came in, all of them with unfamiliar faces, not the jailers they saw yesterday.
The seven people looked at him with smiles on their faces and opened the cell door but did not enter.
Only then did another person come in. He was wearing a black robe, and delicate blue clothes were faintly visible under the robe. Although the candlelight was very weak and the face of the visitor could not be seen clearly, he could clearly see that his face was white and beardless.
"You guys guard the door, I'll talk to you alone for a while."
"Yes." The seven people quietly retreated, leaving only the man in black robe and white face without beard walking into the death row where Wang Hongyu was.
"Still remember me?"
The visitor came closer, and his face could be seen clearly under the candlelight.
There was a wave of confusion in Wang Hongyu's mind, and some memories from long ago were suddenly awakened.
"It's...brother-in-law!"
"Hey, it's me, my uncle. I haven't seen you for eight years..."
Wang Hongyu's mind was racing. The eunuch Liu Shimin who came was his brother-in-law, the future eunuch Liu Ruoyu who would leave a good name.
Liu Shimin is the younger brother of Wang Hongyu's mother, and is from Dingyuan, South Zhili. Wang Hongyu's ancestor Wang Bi was also from Dingyuan. Although his descendants had their titles reduced and were demoted to the southwest and became "opposition marquises", they still maintained contact with their hometown of Dingyuan, which is why they had their father.
Met his mother and gave birth to himself.
The uncle wiped the dirt from his nephew's hair with his own hands and said with a smile: "Your boy is tall and looks like your father. His extremely handsome face must have been inherited from our Liu family."
"Governor Han took special care of me this time. Was it my uncle who helped?"
"I specifically asked Governor Han, but the most important thing is that you yourself solved the secret room murder and proved your innocence.
Among the troops passing by Baoding, there happened to be someone who was proficient in investigation and poisoning, and Governor Han asked her to come over and find out whether the deceased had inhaled smoke."
"Did you catch the assassin?" Wang Hongyu wanted to know who assassinated him. In his memory, there had been several assassinations from Sichuan to Beijing.
"Governor Han has sent someone to investigate. My uncle can't help you in this regard. You can ask someone to escort you to the capital to participate in the martial arts test."
Wang Hongyu thought for a moment. The original owner of the body wanted to go to Beijing to take the martial arts examination and become the top scholar. This was indeed a choice, but it was the forty-eighth year of Wanli and there were too many important things to do at this time.
"Uncle, after what happened, I think I should seek a position in the army first, and after making some achievements, I can try out in the martial arts competition."
"Oh? If it's just for temporary safety, then there's no need."
"I'm not doing it for safety, but I want to make contributions. After the Sarhu, our army suffered a lot of losses. Xiong Jinping slightly mobilized the elites of the Jiubian and Southern armies to fight against Nurhachi, just as the war was about to begin."
Liu Shimin thought for a while and realized that this child did have a lot of potential.
The soldiers and horses recruited by Xiong Tingbi are the strongest in the country. You can learn a lot from them, and you can also make connections in the army, which will help your growth. In addition, if you have meritorious service in the army, it will also help you achieve better results in the martial arts competition.
Achievements can lead to higher positions.
"Okay! As expected of the successor of Marquis Dingyuan, I will recommend you a place to go."
Liu Shimin thought of a person. This person was neither from Prince Donglin's faction nor had anything to do with Prince Fu. However, His Majesty valued her abilities and the white-armed soldiers under his command very much.
"Qin Liangyu, Shizhu Xuanfu Division, Sichuan."
Qin Liangyu?!
"Although General Qin is a female general, he is a real general. I went to reward them in the army for your majesty, so we have a close relationship. In addition, you were able to get out of prison because her cousin took action and found out that the assassin used a mystery.
fragrant."
So it turned out that Han Jun said that among the soldiers and horses passing by, there was someone who was good at investigating in this area, and turned out to be Qin Liangyu's cousin.
"Thank you uncle, after I get out of prison..."
Wait a minute, she is Qin Liangyu's cousin. Find out the truth based on her own confession. If she goes to seek refuge directly after being released from prison, I am afraid that some thoughtful people like Yan Guan Yang Lian will slander Qin Liangyu and I who conspired to assassinate King Fu.
"...Yang Lian may still be staring at me, so I need to pay more attention."
Liu Chengmin smiled happily. His nephew was not only strong and good at martial arts, he was also good at political acumen and resourcefulness.
"The original plan was to introduce General Qin Liangyu to you after your martial arts test. You need to seize the opportunity, intervene in some things, and contact Qin Liangyu by chance."
My uncle said that at this point, he needs to work hard next.
"This time, His Majesty sent me to appease King Fu. It is inconvenient to meet each other for the time being. We will talk slowly in the capital in a month."
Wang Hongyu also had this intention. A major event will happen in Tongzhou soon. If he can intervene and reverse it, it will be of great benefit to himself and Ming Dynasty. He will use the results of this incident to return to Beijing in a month.
Thinking about the capital city in the forty-eighth year of Wanli, I feel a kind of uncontrollable excitement. Big events happened one after another, and we can take advantage of the situation to make great achievements. With my uncle in the palace, follow-up news is very flexible, and I can even seize the opportunity to get Wei Zhongxian.
Become your own partner.
It was almost dawn if we stayed any longer, and it was inappropriate to meet Liu Shimin in prison after all, so he left before dawn.
Early in the morning, the Korean governor sent a general to release Wang Hongyu from prison, and all the luggage, money and weapons he originally carried were returned to their original owners.
Step out of death row and take a deep breath of fresh air.
“It feels so good~”
"Hahahaha! The wait is finally here!"
The hearty laughter spreads from far to near.
A warrior strode forward, followed by more than two hundred people, who immediately surrounded Wang Hongyu. This chapter has been completed!
