It is said that on the night when Xia Kui was imprisoned, a jailer carried a cloth bag into his cell. Xia Kui was a governor. The bag looked like it contained sand, so it must be the "homespun bag" used to kill people in prison. But he was so busy at this moment
He was trapped and couldn't escape with all his strength, so he yelled. The four jailers seemed not to hear him. Two of them stood aside and watched quietly while holding their handbags, while the other two stepped forward to push him to the ground.
Xia Kui knew that he would die if he fell to the ground, so he struggled desperately. The two jailers tried their best for half a day, but they failed to move him.
One of the jailors gritted his teeth and said, "What are you two doing?" The two jailers put down their homespun bags and came up to help. The four of them tried their best, but they still couldn't move Xia Kui.
Another jailer said: "We need to add two more people."
Another one said: "Two are not enough, add four more."
Then someone outside laughed and said, "Can't four people hold him down?"
The jailers were anxious to get angry and said angrily: "If you have the ability, try it!"
The man said: "You all give up, I'll give it a try."
The jailers were really tired. After hearing this, they immediately said: "You try, let's take a break." They all let go.
It was at this moment that the jailers were most relaxed. The man raised his knife and struck directly at the back of the jailer's head. The four jailers didn't know what happened, but they fell one after another! Xia Kui was holding his breath and refused to relax. The man started from the jailer
He took out the key from his body, unlocked all the shackles on Xia Kui's hands and feet, and looked at him again. Xia Kui was tall, and the jailers were shorter than him. The man walked around the four jailers for a long time, and picked out the fat one.
The clothes came and were thrown to Xia Kui. Xia Kui immediately changed them. The man picked up his feet and walked away, followed closely by Xia Kui. There were no prisoners near the area where Xia Kui was held, so it was quiet. The two walked out of the cell in a grand manner and started over.
He didn't say a word until the end.
After walking for half a day, the man said: "I have a grudge against Mr. Bi, but I am not strong enough to defeat his bodyguards. I know that you also have a grudge against him, and you are much more capable than me. I will arrange it for you."
, how about you kill him and both of us will get our revenge?"
Xia Kui was given his life by chance, and he didn't care about anything else. He only said one word: "Okay." Then he followed him out of the city and took shelter in a farmhouse on the outskirts.
Until this morning, the man came over and said: "The arrangements have been made."
Xia Kui pretended to be a farmer and drove a carriage of chickens, ducks and geese to Mr. Bi's house. The man didn't know some magical power and bribed several people from Bi's house. Xia Kui just followed the informant and walked around most of the house.
The house slipped into the back garden. Mr. Bi usually took a nap in a small pavilion in the garden, and it was the same today. Xia Kui hid in the pavilion early and killed Mr. Bi without any effort. The informant was waiting outside the pavilion.
, sent Xia Kui out through the back corner door.
When Xia Kui left Bi Mansion, he still didn't believe that he had avenged his great revenge. After walking on the street for a while, he thought that there were still eleven enemies at large, so he rushed to Fuyuntang to kill them.
After hearing this, Zhu Wei stroked his beard and thought for a long time without saying anything. King Qin was a little anxious and asked Zhu Tong in a low voice: "Mr. Zhu, why doesn't Mr. Zhu speak?"
Zhu Tong said: "This matter is too complicated, full of doubts, and there are countless possibilities. It is probably difficult for my uncle to decide where to start."
King Qin asked curiously: "Isn't it quite clear?"
Zhu Tong said: "There are doubts from the beginning to the end. A brothel girl died, and she left the matter to a driver, and she didn't wait until that night to kill him in prison. It's okay if Xia Kuiruo is someone with a background.
, but he is not. There are both witnesses and material evidence. Wouldn’t it be cheaper to kill him unjustly according to the normal rules of litigation? Isn’t it possible that someone will come to review this case? The person who rescued him didn’t even want to give his name and code name.
He, again, was just a nurse, and easily killed a big man. After the killing, he left Bi Mansion and ran to Fuyuntang as if he was fine. My lord, Chang'an City is not a land of green forests, and Fuyuntang is not opened by ordinary people.
The mantis stalks the cicada and the oriole follows behind. I'm afraid Xia Kui, from going to Xianyang to pick up the goods to killing people in the casino, was all arranged by others. It's just that he doesn't know it." King Qin shuddered.
Zhu Wei then asked Mr. Chen about Xia Kuina's case. Mr. Chen said: "I remember this Xia Kui. More than ten days ago, someone went to the night patrol team to report a case and said that a fan died. The headman in charge of the night patrol asked what happened.
"Things..." He then described the process of arresting people and interrogating the case, which was exactly the same as what Xia Kui said. "Because the criminal refused to admit it until death, and I didn't think he was faking it. On the contrary, the witnesses were suspected of bluffing.
We will temporarily take him into custody and investigate later."
Zhu Wei was stunned. He originally thought that Master Chen had benefited from someone else, but now it didn't seem like it. So he asked, "Did Master Chen find out anything later?"
Mr. Chen sighed: "I didn't expect that Xia Kui looked strong, but was actually a sick man! He couldn't bear the cold. He died in prison that night."
King Qin and Zhu Wei shouted in unison: "What?!"
King Qin stood up and shuddered: "Chen Aiqing, you said Xia Kui is dead?"
Mr. Chen said inexplicably: "Yes."
King Qin's voice was trembling: "Are you really dead?"
"Is this still false?"
King Qin suddenly felt a chill running from the soles of his feet to the sky. Zhu Tong said hurriedly: "My lord, don't be afraid. How can you see ghosts in the daytime?" Then he asked Lord Chen, "Have you ever examined Xia Kui's body?"
Mr. Chen said: "The work has been tested. Is there anything wrong with it?"
"Therefore, your Excellency did not conduct an autopsy in person?"
"No." Mr. Chen said, "But the official felt that this matter was strange, so he questioned the witnesses and the person who reported the crime again, checked the carriage, and even asked Fantou's body for an autopsy."
Zhu Wei hurriedly asked: "How did Fantou die?"
"Suffocated to death." Mr. Chen said, "She was suffocated to death with pillows, quilts and other items. The official thought, if Xia Kui wanted to stay with her for a long time, why would she be suffocated to death? But both parties involved were both
He is dead and cannot be traced."
Zhu Tong stood up and cupped his hands and said: "May I ask, sir, who is that fantou? Is the body still there?"
Mr. Chen said: "Fengtou is Miss Bailan from Baihualou in Xianyang. Someone came from Baihualou yesterday to ask for the body, but I was very suspicious and did not agree."
Zhu Tong hurriedly bowed to the ground: "Please sir, please hand over Miss Bai Lan's body to my uncle."
Mr. Chen frowned and said displeasedly: "This is the case of the lower official."
Zhu Tong said hurriedly: "Wansheng does not mean any disrespect. My uncle also has a case on his hands, which can be combined with yours. This case is very complicated and involves a wide range of things, and..." He said with a slight embarrassment, "Wansheng's brother-in-law
I'm among them too. Please help me, sir." After saying that, he looked at King Qin.
King Qin had just watched a bloody scene with Zhu Tong and the others, and then personally watched Xia Kui's trial. He now understood that Xia Kui was not a ghost, so he thought: Chen Aiqing didn't even know whether Xia Kui was dead or alive, so he might not let her go.
What kind of deception can people get? It is not very reliable. So he said: "Since the two cases are combined into one, let Mr. Zhu investigate."
Mr. Chen was not very happy, so he had to say "yes." He immediately called people to get the body of the oiran Bai Lan. Then he asked, "I wonder what case Mr. Zhu has in his hands?"
Zhu Wei said: "This is a major murder case this afternoon." He looked at Mr. Yu Er, who was at a loss. "The murderer was captured on the spot and confessed." He then ordered someone to bring the murderer.
Not long after, Xia Kui came. Mr. Chen was startled: "Xia Kui!"
Xia Kui snorted, strode past him with his head held high while dragging the iron chain, and knelt straight in front of the hall: "Master Zhu."
Zhu Wei asked: "Mr. Chen, is this the Xia Kui you recognize?"
Master Chen pointed at Xia Kui and said tremblingly: "You, aren't you dead?"
Xia Kui gritted his teeth and said: "Guan Guan! I couldn't satisfy you, but I'm still alive!"
Lord Chen hurriedly asked: "Master Zhu, what's going on?"
Zhu Tong said: "Which of Mr. Chen's men said that Xia Kui is dead? Mr. Chen should deduct his salary."
Mr. Chen immediately shouted: "Go and call Liang Wuzuo!"
King Qin whispered: "Mr. Zhu, but Master Chen has been deceived by this coward?"
Zhu Tong also whispered: "Maybe. It's also possible that someone deceived Mr. Chen and Liang Wuzuo."
Most of the people in the room were as anxious as a hundred claws scratching their hearts. Only Mr. Yu Er sat there blankly, a little bored. After a while, he coughed and said, "Master Zhu, should I send someone to take a look at the place I just mentioned?"
Zhu Wei said: "Don't worry, Mr. Guo, he has already sent someone." He pointed at Xia Kui and said, "He was responsible for the Fuyuntang case."
Mr. Yu Er raised his eyebrows and said, "What Fuyuntang? I said it's the case on Tongling Street."
"Does Mr. Guojiu know where Fuyuntang is?"
"How would I know."
"Fuyuntang is on Tongling Street." Zhu Wei said, "Fuyuntang is the place where people were killed."
Mr. Yu Er was stunned. He smiled dryly for a while and said: "Master Zhu has already started to investigate, hehe. I'm just saying, how can Master Zhu not know about such a big thing."
Just as he was embarrassed, the master came back, holding in his hand the list of gamblers confessed by Jinyi Nursing Home. Zhu Wei took a look and said: "This is not your handwriting."
The master said: "This is written by the guardian himself."
Zhu Wei nodded: "The writing is quite good. This person must not be a member of an ordinary family. Check it out." The master agreed. Zhu Wei read it carefully for a long time and ordered someone to hand it over to the King of Qin.
King Qin saw that in addition to names, there were also identities on the list. The gamblers were either rich or noble, and the first names on the top were his cousins. After reading it, he gave it to Zhu Tong again. Zhu Tong slipped away with a glance, the corners of his mouth raised slightly, and his face
Four words were written on it: As expected. King Qin Baber looked at him: "Mr. Zhu?"
Zhu Tong said: "Wansheng knows what kind of deal is going on upstairs in Fuyuntang."
King Qin said: "Isn't it gambling?"
Zhu Tong said: "The gambling is downstairs." He waved the list, "Up here, half are the relatives and children of the officials and powerful people, and the other half are the stewards and accountants of merchants from all over the country who are doing business in the Qin State. The officials and merchants themselves
None of them showed up. The minimum bet was a thousand taels of silver. It was not gambling, but bribery."
King Zhu Wei of Qin exclaimed in unison: "What?!"
Zhu Tong said again: "The people above Fuyuntang deal with power and money. The briber sends the accountant to pass the money from the gambling table to the relatives and friends of the briber."
