Chapter 2606 The Secret Path of the Cave

Soon Liu Tuiguan appeared again.

This can be said to be his first case since taking office in Beijing.

Apparently his colleagues wanted to see his jokes.

Because no one took him.

This is inconsistent with human nature and logic.

But it is consistent with reality.

Because he took refuge with the second prince, everyone isolated him and refused to play with him.

The people from the Second Prince's family are also waiting to see what his abilities are.

Only if you have the ability will you take him.

If you don't have the ability, just die.

This is the cold reality.

As for whether Liu Tuiguan will become a murderer and take revenge on them.

They are not worried.

After all, the other party is right under your nose.

It is difficult for such an exposed murderer to become a threat.

The really scary thing is those servants with low eyebrows and submissive eyes.

Let's put it this way, in Wen Rensheng's opinion, the death of this old gentleman just now was probably the work of a slave.

And this slave probably just didn't like the old gentleman.

I am jealous that the other person can listen to music, eat, drink and have fun without having to do anything.

And he still has to work hard.

Official Liu continued to handle the case as usual.

Of course, when he saw Wen Rensheng, he immediately asked him to get busy.

Of course Wen Rensheng just created the illusion of being busy... but actually did nothing.

Referred to as advanced fishing.

One of the essential skills for modern social animals to avoid sudden death.

Official Liu quickly determined the identity of the deceased and the suspect.

"The deceased's name is Han Yuye. He was a fourth-grade imperial official who retired and enjoyed preferential treatment from the court."

"My family has several houses, several shops, and thousands of acres of land outside the city. I am truly a wealthy family."

"And the only person who has access to his teacups and teapots, apart from the waiter, is his servant Han Da, who he just sent to buy tobacco."

Then Liu Tuiguan called Han Da over.

After careful inspection, it was discovered that Han Da was the murderer!

This is the normal rhythm of handling cases...

Liu Tuiguan was thinking.

Most murderers are actually easier to catch as long as they don't run away.

Because they often don't have the means to deal with reconnaissance.

After all, this is ancient times, not modern times.

The knowledge about solving crimes that people can hear is obtained from dramas and picture books.

Both of these are not widely spread.

What's more, even in modern times, there are still many stupid murderers.

They completely underestimated the professionalism and strength of the investigators.

Let's put it this way, if you don't want others to know, you have to do it yourself.

It’s better not to do things that go against the bottom line in the modern world.

And this Han Da quickly confessed his crime.

"This damn master, I work hard every day running errands, but he leisurely eats, drinks and has fun, smokes and listens to music."

"I want him dead!"

"Anyway, I don't have any family anymore. My mother passed away last month."

"I have worked hard in their house for more than thirty years, and they are not even willing to marry an ugly maid for me."

"This damn master deserves to die!"

"He just thought that if I worked for another five years, he would kick me out of the house and replace me with a hard-working one!"

After hearing Han Da's words, instead of scolding him, everyone whispered in low voices.

"That's right. Mr. Han is too bad."

"That's right. Generally speaking, wealthy families who are more sophisticated will marry their servants, and then let them have children who will continue to be slaves. The harvest will be guaranteed during droughts and floods. It is also a family job."

"Yes, Mr. Han was so clever that he was fooled by his cleverness. He wanted to squeeze this servant dry, but he killed him instead!"

"Good kill!"

Then the case spread throughout the capital.

After all, this element is too full.

"A servant kills his master."

"The master is cruel and the servants are dissatisfied."

Although many gentlemen are very angry.

"This is asking for death!"

"He is a slave. His master gave him food and clothing, and gave him a place to display his talents. Instead of doing his job properly, he wanted to harm the master!"

"His nine tribes should be killed!"

As a result, the master who said this was slapped in the face.

Because what is very funny about Han Da is that he is one of the nine tribes who died Master Han.

Yes, it is common for people to use their distant relatives as slaves.

However, it is usually promotion, but Mr. Han used the name of his clan to exploit.

So I was unlucky.

Now, if we really want to sentence the nine Han clans to death.

Instead he was happy.

Because this means that the Yamen helped him destroy the entire family of his enemies...

As for killing the three tribes, is it okay?

Nope either.

Because it will also implicate the Han family.

So in the end we could only give a hasty verdict of beheading.

However, from this day on, the servants' lives were obviously much easier.

The reason is also very simple.

It is impossible for a master to leave his slaves.

Without the servants, it can be said that the masters can't even wear the official uniforms of the court.

Just wait to be impeached by the censor.

Since we can't live without him, we can only improve the salary and replace him.

But with a new person, can you guarantee that he will be loyal?

Hard to say.

It may even bring more harm.

It's better to win over.

So new methods emerged:

If there is a slave who needs to be punished, he must be killed immediately to avoid future troubles.

Otherwise there will be no punishment, but rewards.

You can't kill him, but you have to send him out of the capital to a place where he can't come back.

This is also the method used by Cixi in later generations.

These gentlemen have also learned how to do it.

In fact, they had understood it before, but this time Han Da's incident had strengthened their impression.

Afterwards, Liu Tuiguan was involved in various bizarre cases in the capital.

The capital has a large population, more than 1.5 million.

Some even say it could be more than three million.

After all, no one counts the people in those huts outside the city.

Because there is so much food in this world, the population agglomeration effect is particularly obvious.

As for Wu Sanwen's death, it has been suspended indefinitely.

Because there was no way to investigate further and no one cooperated.

When a person dies, he dies.

The steward under the second prince arranged for another person to replace Wu Sanwen.

It's just that the place of appointment was changed from the border to a county in the interior, and he was just a big head catcher.

And Wu Sanwen's death is like a bubble that no one remembers anymore.

Then this night.

Liu Tuiguan is working overtime and staying up late.

The strong man came to find him.

"The higher ups will give you a mission. If there are any cruel murderers like that in the future, especially those who are cold-blooded and ruthless by nature, the reporter will stay."

"We replace them with beggars and train them into death warriors."

"The number doesn't need to be large, five hundred people are enough."

"Five hundred people? Where are you hiding?" Liu Tuiguan asked directly in his mind.

This is obviously a plan to rebel at a critical moment.

It is said that the emperor is 73 years old this year.

83,74, The King of Hell did not invite me to go.

In the eyes of the ancients, this was one of the most dangerous ages.

It is said that the emperor is lucky to live such a long life.

Generally speaking, very few emperors can live beyond the age of 60.

The reason why the emperor can live so long is because of fear.

Because cases happen frequently, we have to be extra careful.

Don’t dare to be too indulgent, be extra careful when eating, sleeping, and going out.

To live for such a long time.

Emperors who are too indulgent will not live long.

Those emperors who exercised restraint and paid a little attention, as long as they did not work too hard, would most likely live past sixty.

And now comes the critical moment.

The strong man then said: "You don't have to worry about it, just dig coal outside the city and hide it."

"We dress up as a team transporting coal into the city every day and train back and forth."

The strong man said a lot, but Liu Tuiguan knew that what the other party said must be false.

This is used to fool the monitors.

He must be being watched.

After all, his identity is somewhat eye-catching.

He was dispatched to the city from outside, and he was also the chief officer investigating Wu Sanwen's case.

These conditions determine that he is very eye-catching.

So he also became a bait on the table.

This is really a reincarnation.

Even the matter of raising dead soldiers has to be carried out on his back.

Liu Tuiguan couldn't help but sigh.

Then he said: "Okay, I understand."

In the following time, he replaced each of the sins that deserved death with homeless people and beggars.

It may seem troublesome to do this, but it is not difficult for an expert.

Grab a few details.

One is when he is sent to prison.

The second is when describing appearance.

The third is to find the prison guard.

For the last thing, he asked Wen Rensheng to take a look.

Wen Rensheng then had an idea and asked another detective to do it.

He also wanted to see how this detective drama would end.

In a world where cases occur frequently, battles are obviously different.

…………

On this day, as the emperor's health became worse and worse.

The fight between the two princes became more and more intense.

Both sides raise dead soldiers.

And each side started to cause trouble for the other.

Today you encouraged my steward, saying that his father was killed by the Lord.

Tomorrow I will incite your concubine, saying that the destruction of the family is all caused by the Lord.

In short, they just want to win without a fight and hope that the other party's family members will rise up, start a case, and kill the opponent.

This is not their wishful thinking.

In fact, in recent years, quite a few ministers, princes, and nobles have been killed by their servants.

Just from the case files that Liu Tuiguan saw, at least one-third of the powerful families had cases that occurred in their homes.

The target is often the head of the family.

The most vicious ones are also the ones most easily hated.

Therefore, most officials are kind-hearted and behave well.

He even treated his servants, got married, and took care of them in their old age.

Of course, some ministers were frightened.

Resolutely only use the people closest to you.

For example, if you ask your nephew to be a servant, he will be a housekeeper in name, but in fact he will do the work of a servant.

For some families with big families, this is okay.

Some people come from poor families and their clans are not strong, which will cause trouble.

Some simply don't hire any servants and just handle everything by themselves.

In this case, I have to say that facts have proven that single people live longer than married people.

Of course, in the modern world, it's the other way around. In fact, it's because being single has no restraints and makes it easy to indulge. It doesn't mean that being single is bad.

Again, you have to be able to control your own schedule. If you are single, you will be stress-free and live longer.

Some old people endured the death of a bunch of people by themselves.

Always single.

On this day, Liu Tuiguan suddenly saw a case, which he found very interesting.

"Serial Murder Case in Capital Cave?"

Wen Rensheng also noticed this case.

What it means is that there needs to be a huge cave under the capital.

In fact, this was because there was a large cave under the capital.

The ancients were not clear at first and did not investigate carefully, so they built the capital here.

As time passed, someone dug the well too deep, more than a hundred meters, and discovered a deep hole underground.

These holes are connected to each other.

Wen Rensheng also knew that there was such a terrain and such a community.

The community is built on a cave.

This is obviously unsafe.

But since it has been created, people can only endure it.

Fortunately, this cave is very strong, so there is no need to worry about landslides.

But now the caves in the capital are completely different.

It extended in all directions and was later exploited.

In fact, when the cave was first discovered, the emperor originally wanted to move to another capital.

But later I heard someone say that this cave can be transformed into a way of escape and a place to hide soldiers.

The emperor was suddenly moved.

It is not uncommon in history for emperors to be trapped in the capital and eventually killed by thieves.

One reason is that there is no good escape route.

It is generally said that the royal family has secret passages that can lead to the outside of the city. Secret passages have been dug since the beginning.

But in fact, there must be a secret passage, but it won't be too long.

This is because the amount of work is too large and it is easy to be exposed if the excavation time is long.

After all, there are many people in the capital listening to Datan.

Once this secret passage is exposed, what's the use?

Historically, many emperors who were besieged had no choice but to break out of the siege through the city gates. They could not get out and died.

In fact, this is because in the prosperous times, there was no need to dig, but in the end of the world, there was no money and no one would dig.

It's ridiculous to say that these emperors had money to build tombs for deceased emperors, but they had no money to prepare a secret escape route for themselves in advance.

One-third of the manpower and material resources needed to build the mausoleum would be enough to dig an escape tunnel.

In fact, I was still worried about hidden dangers, fearing that someone might come in through the escape tunnel and carry out an assassination attempt.

But it's different now, there is a ready-made secret path.

As long as there is little digging, you can use the cave as a secret passage.

And the emperor can let very few people know about this secret passage.

Now, the case that Liu Tuiguan saw was related to the secret passage of the capital cave.

In the secret passage of the cave, corpses appeared one after another.

Originally, this kind of place was unattended.

The problem is that the legitimate sons of several high-ranking officials died.

It was thrown into a cave, and then the dignitaries found it and found it out with private experts.

This matter became a big deal.

So with their combined efforts, this serial murder case about the secret passage in the cave became a big deal.

So much so that the Sanfa Division had to make a big fanfare and began to order the various yamen under its command to start investigating the secret passages in the cave.

This investigation is incredible.

It turns out that in previous years, there were countless people who disappeared, were kidnapped, and were killed.

The entire secret passage in the cave is better said to be an underground passage than a corpse cave.

Liu Tuiguan took people down to a secret passage in a cave.

After walking less than 500 meters, I saw six bones.

Moreover, there are obvious marks of knife and ax chops on the bones.

Some have broken arms, some have broken sternums, and some have broken spines.

You can tell at a glance.

These were all killed, not natural deaths.

And all he has to do is find out where the murderer is hiding.

In fact, in Wen Rensheng's opinion, this case is another headless case.

It's so big down there that even if modern people want to use advanced technology to explore it, it's difficult.

What's more, they are a group of ancients.

At most, they would find a group of homeless beggars hiding in the secret passage of the cave to take the blame.
