This news caused an uproar in the wine shop. Most of these drinkers were businessmen or wealthy people from Kyoto. If the capital was moved, it would have a great impact on them and directly related to their most vital interests, so the shouts and curses suddenly became loud.
Someone even shouted: "Where are those Guanlong nobles? Why don't they object? Are they all dead?"
Then I heard the man say loudly: "None of the Guanlong nobles came forward to oppose it. I heard that last time after His Majesty proposed moving the capital, their opposition was extremely fierce. But this time, the entire hall was silent. It is related to their vital interests.
!But no one objected."
"What else do they object to? The nine great clans of Guanlong and the Dugu clan support His Majesty in moving the capital. The He Ruo family has been exterminated. The heads of the other seven great clans are still in the prison of the Blue Guard Mansion. Who dares to object!"
"Everyone, this matter has been decided. Before this matter spreads in the Central Plains, everyone should go to Luoyang to buy land and houses!" Someone shouted and hurried downstairs.
…
…
Chen Sansi of Jingzhao Mansion came back from the palace and rubbed his waist. Not only did he sigh inwardly, but time is not forgiving. He had stood all morning and his back was sore. In addition, his wife complained that she was always going to the hospital these days.
In the concubine's room, he was ignored. He originally wanted to perform well last night, but unexpectedly he went too far and his body couldn't bear it.
Nothing major happened in Kyoto these days, and he didn't have much official business to deal with. As Chen Sansi walked in, he was thinking about taking a nap after dinner.
"Sir, something big happened!"
Before Chen Sansi could enter, someone hurriedly walked in and said anxiously.
"What's the rush? What's the rush? What big thing could happen!" Chen Sansi glared at him dissatisfied, "Is there anyone else who can kill an official?"
The person who came was the arresting officer of the King of Jingzhao Mansion. He swallowed and said, "Sir, someone didn't kill an official, someone killed the son of a super-bodied official!"
"Whose son was killed?" Chen Sansi asked with a frown.
"The son of Li Chengfeng, the Minister of War."
Chen Sansi's expression condensed. Although the Minister of War was only a fourth-rank official, Li Chengfeng was an old man from the East Palace and was His Majesty's true confidant. If this matter was not handled well, it would cause him big trouble.
Thinking of this, Chen Sansi looked unhappy and had to rush out. It had been a long time since there had been such a big life case in Kyoto. His Majesty had only praised him a few days ago for his outstanding political achievements in public security. It has only been a few days.
, such a big life case happened, isn’t this a slap in his face!
The most important thing is that the identity of the deceased this time is also very sensitive. The son of Li Chengfeng, the Minister of War, and a close associate of His Majesty, needs to be treated with caution!
"What on earth is going on?" Chen Sansi asked Wang Shatou on the way.
Wang Captou immediately replied: "The deceased is the son of Mr. Li, the minister of the Ministry of War. It is said that he just returned home from playing in a brothel to rest. When he was about to have lunch, his servants knocked on the door and called for help, but no one answered. Later, he forced his way in.
When I went there, I found him dead on the bed."
"Died on your own bed?" Chen Sansi frowned and asked, "What was the cause of death?"
Captain Wang replied: "There are no results yet on the case, but according to the servant of the Li family who reported the case, it should be poisoning."
It's always troublesome to die, but the person who died was the son of an official close to the emperor. The trouble was doubled. Why didn't he die well? It happened that he was poisoned again, and the difficulty went up a level. Although Chen Sansi was an expert in governing one party, back then,
When he was the governor of Yongzhou, he managed the place very well, but he was not good at this kind of cases, and there were no experts in this field under his command, so Chen Sansi had a big problem.
He sighed, regained his composure, and said, "Check, check who Mr. Li has been in contact with and what he has done in the past few days. Don't let anything go."
Wang Captou nodded and said, "I've asked people to ask the servants who usually follow the deceased."
Before he reached Li's house, he bumped into several police officers.
"Why did you guys come out?" When Wang Captou saw this, he was stunned for a moment and asked.
One of them waved his hand helplessly and said, "The Criminal Department has just taken over this case."
When Chen Sansi heard this, his expression was startled, and he said with some confusion: "The Ministry of Punishment will take over?"
The Ministry of Punishment is responsible for approving various laws and reviewing criminal cases sent to the Ministry from various places. Unless it is a very big case or it is handled by order, it rarely intervenes in local cases.
Otherwise, as the Sui Dynasty was so big, just talking about cases near Kyoto would exhaust them to death.
The death of the son of a Minister of the Ministry of War was certainly a major case, but it was only a major case and its influence was limited. It was not the Ministry of Punishment's turn to intervene.
What's more, before he, the governor of Jingzhao, arrived, someone from the Ministry of Punishment had already arrived. Chen Sansi's eyes flashed. There must be some ulterior reason for this.
However, if the Ministry of Punishment wants to interfere, just do it. It just so happens that you can get out and avoid this trouble, which can be considered a good thing.
"Have you asked, how did Young Master Li die?" The unusual behavior of the Ministry of Justice, no matter how he looked at it, it seemed weird, and he was unwilling to get involved. Even Li Chengfeng didn't plan to visit. After all, this
Li Chengfeng would definitely not be in a good mood at that time. Thinking like this, when Chen Sansi returned to the government office, he asked by the way.
The detective immediately replied: "The corpse has been examined and it was found that he died of poisoning. A spot on the arm of the corpse was blue and there was a small needle hole. A very thin silver needle was taken out from it. What kind of poison was it?"
I didn't remember, but according to the author, that kind of poison is extremely rare. It can be fatal in trace amounts, but it won't kill you immediately. It takes four to one or two hours for the poison to take effect. The poison spreads throughout the body. The poisoned person often feels sleepy and silent.
Dying in his sleep without rest."
"Isn't that easy to handle?" Chen Sansi shook his head and said, "We only need to push the time of his death forward by an hour or two and see what he was doing at that time and who was around him.
Is it easy to catch the murderer?"
Thinking about this case, it was not difficult at all, but Chen Sansi felt a little regretful at the moment. He should have acted faster and solved the case earlier, so that he would not be preempted by the Ministry of Punishment. In this way, he not only sold Li Chengfeng a favor, but also showed it in front of His Majesty.
once.
Captain Wang looked at Chen Sansi, scratched his head and said, "Sir, this case doesn't seem to be that simple. Mr. Li has met a lot of people in the past half day. It's not easy to judge who poisoned him.
.”
Chen Sansi was stunned for a moment, looked at him and said: "I have seen more cases than you eat with salt, so I don't have this in my heart. Do I need you to remind me? Can't we just arrest all the people he came into contact with yesterday?"
