Chapter 24: The Holidays
There was nothing when walking. When the three of them were lying on the bed to rest, Li Pingting and Xiao Cui felt exhausted. Their limbs were weak and their legs were a little sore. Half an hour later, they heard someone knocking on the door.
Yu Kun knew that the waiter who delivered food had arrived. After opening the door, it turned out to be the waiter from Wanbaozhai with two food boxes in his hands. Yu Kun welcomed the person in, and after putting all the things on his plate, Yu Kun paid the errand boy
After paying the clerk a dozen copper coins for his hard work, he sent the clerk away.
Although the three of them had sore backs and legs, after seeing the tempting meal, the three of them quickly washed their hands and sat down at the dining table. They exchanged cups and had a great time. A spring night is worth a thousand dollars. After drinking, Yu Kun and Li Ping
Ting's man and woman love each other harmoniously. They are truly a fairy couple.
The next day, when Yu Kun and Li Pingting were considering where to go for fun, the government servant next to the county magistrate Wu Bing came to deliver a letter, asking Yu Kun to accompany the county magistrate to a banquet at Prince Yu's Mansion. Yu Kun asked about the situation and knew that Yu Kun
The king hosted a family banquet. Yu Kun put on his silk and satin plain clothes and came to the county government office to meet the county magistrate first.
"I have met the county magistrate in my humble position!" When Yu Kun saw the county magistrate Wu Bing, he quickly stepped forward to salute.
"No, no! Yu Baotou, please live comfortably at home these days!" Wu Bing twirled his beard and looked at Yu Kun with a playful expression.
"Thanks to your lord, the county, it's not bad! My lord, who is this King Yu, and why did he invite me to the banquet with you?"
"It's a long story. Prince Yu is a hereditary prince. It is said that his grandfather made great contributions to the establishment of the Ming Dynasty and was given the title of prince. By his generation, it was just a sinecure. It is said that this prince likes hunting and making friends.
Because he was far away from the political center of the imperial court, many people from all walks of life gathered around him. There were literati and poets, as well as heroes and knights; there were wealthy businessmen and local officials."
"Your Excellency, why did King Yu invite us? Is it because the murder case of Hu Shang was solved?"
"Exactly! Yu Captou has just taken office and solved such a major case. How could it not cause shock to both the government and the public?"
"My lord, the county magistrate, what I don't understand is that the magistrate is the investigator of this case. Why did he invite me, a little catcher?"
"Don't say that, Yu Baotou. This county magistrate has been claiming to the outside world that the person who specifically solved the case is Yu Baotou. So Yu Baotou, you work hard. If one day this county magistrate can become famous, I will definitely work with my dear brother.
Advance and retreat!”
"I'm in a humble position. Thank you for your support!"
Wu Bing sat in an official sedan and brought Yu Kun and gifts to Prince Yu's palace, which was located at the junction of the government office and the county government. When the disciples saw the invitation, they quickly invited Wu County Magistrate to enter the inner palace. Wu Bing and Yu Kun were taken
When I went to the banquet place in the side courtyard, I saw Prince Yu and many officials, and they hurried forward to salute. Wu Bing was the highest official in the county, but in Prince Yu's mansion, almost everyone who came to the banquet had a higher position than Wu Bing.
Although the people who came to the banquet today were all dignitaries, King Yu still arranged Wu Bing and Yu Kun on the table not far from him. Today King Yu wanted to hear the details of Wu Bing's case. He was very curious. No.
After a while, the banquet officially began. After three glasses of wine, King Yu asked Magistrate Wu to tell him the details of the case.
This is not difficult. After passing the interrogation, Wu Bing mastered the details of the entire case. So Wu Bing used his sharp tongue to describe the case vividly, and everyone present was stunned.
.Everyone was secretly amazed that Magistrate Wu was really not simple. Such a bizarre case was solved in less than half a month, and the investigation work was very perfect.
King Yu praised Wu Bing again, and Wu Bing stood up and hurriedly humbled himself. The host was enthusiastic, the guests cheered, and the banquet was extremely lively. However, the banquet was just halfway through, and the recorder not far from Wu Bing
Liu Ming, who joined the army, suddenly leaned over the table. The joyful atmosphere came to an abrupt end, and King Yu and the guests immediately gathered around.
Yu Kun stood up and saluted everyone: "My lords, for the sake of solving the case, please take your positions!" Except for Wu Bing and Yu Kun, the people present were all above the sixth rank, which was basically impossible to say.
Yu Kun did not have the right to speak. However, Yu Kun's reminder reached a key point. King Yu nodded to him and waved to everyone.
A life case broke out at his family banquet, and he had to give an explanation to the family of the deceased and the court. King Yu, who had not been in court for a long time, was at a loss. Thinking that Wu Bing had just solved an important case, he said to Wu Bing: "Wu Bing
The county magistrate has recently solved a murder case and has made great achievements in this area. Please help with the investigation!"
King Yu turned around and said to all the guests: "Today's unexpected situation, I really feel sorry for all of you. But this is a human life lawsuit, so until the case is solved, I have no choice but to have all of you temporarily stay in the palace!"
As soon as King Yu finished speaking, the guests immediately started talking. Everyone has their own responsibilities and work, and being under house arrest is difficult to explain whether at home or at work.
King Yu and Wu Bing came to Liu Ming and looked at him for a long time, but they didn't see anything. At this moment, King Yu saw that Wu Bing didn't have any doctrines, and immediately started circling the body like ants on a hot pot. "
Your Majesty, Yu Baotou has made great achievements in solving the case, do you want him to participate together?"
"Please, please!" Yu Kun had long wanted to come over and take a closer look, but without permission, he couldn't recommend himself. Yu Kun approached Liu Ming's dining table, and judging from his face, it was clear that he died of poisoning. The banquet had just begun.
Not long after it started, the poison took effect quickly. Liu Ming did not bleed from any of his orifices, indicating that the poison in Liu Ming was not Hedinghong.
Therefore, Yu Kun analyzed that the poison in Liu Ming's body should be aconitine, but the cooks who served the dishes were all from Prince Yu's palace, and they were the ones who wanted to poison him. Prince Yu would not want to murder Liu Ming when he was treating him to a guest, no.
People can be stupid enough to kill someone in their own home.
After Yu Kun checked the body, he said to King Yu: "Please call all the tea ladies today!" Upon hearing this, King Yu's expression immediately changed. If the poisoning was done by the tea girls, he, King Yu, would not be able to get away with it.
If there is no connection, then the guests who came today will have no connection. Yu Kun's move immediately won the support of all the guests. If it is later proven that the tea lady poisoned them, they can leave the palace.
"Your Majesty, if you entertain guests at your residence, you will never arrange for the tea lady to poison you. No one would kill anyone in their own home. I suspect that the tea lady has been bribed and they want to put the blame on the prince!" Yu Kun said
