Chapter 66 Check it out

This time, the reaction speed of the court was still very fast. Although the Fang family has been squeezed out of the court by everyone, after all, they are rich families in the court. Now such a thing happened as soon as they leave the capital. How can the court explain to the outside world and how can others feel at ease? Therefore, as soon as the Gyeonggi Province received the order, it sent Wang Guben and other people who were good at investigating the case to the post station to investigate, and the action of the Ministry of Criminal Justice was more decisive.

More than 300 servants of the Ministry of Criminal Justice went straight to the south of the city, and then quickly surrounded the house where Xu Jinghong lived. After that, officials of the Ministry of Criminal Justice came to the main door and rang the door ring. In fact, their actions have long been discovered by the soldiers who have gone through many bloody battles in the hospital, and Xiong Geng and others have rushed to the back to see Xu Jinghong.

"The team is, and the Ministry of Criminal Justice has sent people to surround us. It seems that it is against us. What should we do? Do you want to rush out or resist here? Xiong Geng asked with fighting spirit.

Xu Jinghong did not panic or anger, but smiled and said, "I have thought of this for a long time. Once something happens to the Fang family, the first thing they want to suspect is us, and it is also appropriate for the Ministry of Criminal Justice to send people to come. Tell the brothers not to be nervous and bring people in. With that, he straightened his clothes and went out.

People soon came to Xu Jinghong: "Xu Jinghong, if the Ministry of Criminal Justice has something to ask you, you and your brother can come with us." The visitor didn't have any politeness and came straight to the point.

"Oh? But I don't know what's going on that makes the Ministry of Criminal Justice so nervous?" Xu Jinghong asked with a smile.

"What's the big deal? Xu Jinghong, don't pretend not to know.

"I really don't know. Please make it clear." In the face of the other party's rude attitude, Xu Jinghong was still calm and not as angry as the people around him.

"It's not up to you whether you know or not. If you want to know what's going on, go to the Ministry of Criminal Justice with us.

"Well, your Ministry of Criminal Justice doesn't even explain what we have done, but wants to take us. It's really unreasonable!" Immediately, some people could no longer control their emotions and scolded loudly. At the same time, many people had already clenched the weapons around them.

"What, Xu Jinghong, do you dare to resist arrest?" Seeing this, the official tightened his face, and then took a step back to his head and waved his hand. The dozens of servants behind him took a step forward with long guns and confronted Xu Jinghong.

"Xu Jinghong, I can tell you that now the outside has been surrounded by the people and horses of my Ministry of Criminal Justice! You don't have to think that you can rush out, or just get it!" Seeing that his own people were ready to fight, he had some confidence in his heart before he threatened again.

"The team is watching this situation is not good. What should we do? Although there are a large number of these servants of the Ministry of Criminal Justice, they can't stop us from going in terms of their ability. Why don't we go? The old dog also suggested.

Xu Jinghong shook his head and rejected the proposal. He knew very well that what the old dog said was reasonable. With this little people outside, it was impossible to stop them, soldiers with rich experience on the battlefield. But in this way, he will really be identified as a murderer, and he is also a criminal escapist, which is not what he wants to see. In addition, even if they can really kill, their brothers will inevitably be damaged. There must be a lot of crossbowmen laid by the Ministry of Criminal Justice outside, which is a little difficult to guard against. So now the wisest thing is to go back to the Ministry of Criminal Justice with them. Anyway, I am fully prepared and am not afraid that they will play tricks.

After making a decision, Xu Jinghong took off the Baisheng knife on his waist, then threw it on the ground and said to the humane beside him: "The Qing Dynasty is self-clear. We haven't done anything illegal, so why don't we go to the Ministry of Criminal Justice with them?"

These people followed Xu Jinghong all the way to the capital from the southwest. Naturally, they obeyed his orders. Seeing that he did so, they did not have any objection. They abandoned their weapons on the ground one after another, and then said, "Let's go to the Ministry of Criminal Justice and see what you have anything to say."

Those people in the Ministry of Criminal Justice were also relieved to see this situation. To be honest, they really have no chance of winning against these unknown guys. The leading official's pale face also looked better, and then waved his hand and said, "Take the person away!"

"Wait!" Unexpectedly, Xu Jinghong suddenly said, "Your Excellency, what have we really committed, or do the Ministry of Criminal Justice have something to ask? Do you have to make it clear?"

"This...although your crimes have not been determined yet, but..."

"In this case, we are not prisoners yet. We will leave by ourselves, so we don't need you to escort us." Xu Jinghong interrupted the other party's explanation in one sentence and walked between the two servants who wanted to tie him up. As soon as the other brothers saw it, they ignored the servants and walked straight out like their team.

"This..." Seeing this, those servants really didn't know what to do for a moment. The other party's momentum was so strong that they didn't dare to really conflict with these elite people, so they looked at the leading officials.

"...Let them go wild again for a while!" After a little hesitation, the official still decided that more is better than less. Anyway, when he asked him to bring him back, he did not say that he must be tied to the Ministry of Criminal Justice.

In this way, Xu Jinghong's group of people went ahead and followed a group of servants of the Ministry of Criminal Justice around them. It was so strange that they went to the Ministry of Criminal Justice. In the eyes of those who don't know the inside story, this is not the arrest of prisoners by the Ministry of Criminal Justice at all, but the senior officials of the Ministry of Criminal Justice go out and have someone to follow.

When the guard in front of the criminal department saw this scene, his eyes were about to fall to the ground. They immediately asked people to report, and at the same time, they looked at the colleagues with doubts. They didn't know what they had eaten wrong to make people so arrogant.

After receiving the report, the minister of the Ministry of Criminal Justice, who was waiting in the second hall, showed anger on his face, but soon, he still suppressed his anger and said lightly, "Let them go rampant. Soon they will pay the price!" When saying this, the people around them obviously felt a chilling evil spirit, which was accumulated by the Ministry of Criminal Justice when questioning people.

After entering the government of the Ministry of Criminal Justice, Xu Jinghong and his entourage were quickly separated. This is the rule of the world's questioning, and it is naturally not easy for Xu Jinghong to stick to it. He was taken alone to the second hall of the Ministry of Criminal Justice, facing a face like water. As soon as he saw him, Lian Shangshu smiled and said, "Xu Jinghong, I didn't expect that we would meet again so soon." Xu Jinghong had contact with Cao Liliang's three families before.

"Yes, but at that time, you and I were both courtiers, but now you are an official and I am for the people." Xu Jinghong replied calmly. Then he asked doubtfully, "I don't know why Lord Lian called me and my brothers this time?"

"What, don't you really know what to do?" Lian Chong took a playful look at Xu Jinghong and said, "Let's not lie in front of others. You'd better admit it."

"I don't even know why I called, but what should I admit?"

"Is there a deep enmity between the Fang family and you?" Lian Chongru suddenly asked.

"Yes, this must have been known by the DPRK. When I was a servant of the Xu family, I already had a grudge against them, and later they didn't let me go in the southwest. So when I return to Beijing this time, I will naturally have a good fight with them. However, their crimes have been revealed and cannot be changed. What's the point of Lord Lian calling me here again?

"Well, pretending to be like that!" After spitting out again, Lian Chongru finally did not intend to go around and said directly, "Last night, no, it should be said that in the early morning of this morning, hundreds of Fang's family who were not far from the capital were killed in the post station. Don't say it has nothing to do with you!"

"What? You mean the Fang family was killed in the post station? Why do I know nothing? This really has nothing to do with me." Xu Jinghong immediately showed a surprised look. After a while, he suddenly said, "So that's why the Ministry of Criminal Justice called me here. Do you suspect that this matter has something to do with me?"

"It doesn't matter. It's obviously done by you and your men!" Lian Chongru said, "Except for you, Xu Jinghong, people who have neither this motivation nor the ability to kill so many people in the capital. Why, do you still want to deny it at this time?

"Adult's name check, this matter really has nothing to do with me!" Xu Jinghong quickly shook his head and denied: "Yes, I have an inextricable grudge against the Fang family, but you have also said that this matter is well known all over the city. If I attack them at this jux, isn't it obvious to let the court take me? Do you think I, Xu Jinghong, will be so confused?

"This..." His reason is really a little reasonable, which makes him suffocating. But soon, Lian Shangshu, who had been involved in the criminal case for a long time, still had his own statement: "You must have been fully prepared before you started. With such an excuse, you can naturally prevaricate us. I advise you to confess as soon as possible, otherwise, don't blame me for punishing you!"

"Your Excellency, I really didn't do this, but how can I admit it?" Xu Jinghong still looked innocent and shook his head.

"Smart words, don't you really want to torture you? People coming--" Lian Chongruru saw that Xu Jinghong still refused to cooperate, and his heart was already angry, and he was about to use it now.

No, Xu Jinghong suddenly said, "Wait!"

"What? Are you willing to recruit? It's the best, but we don't have to suffer from trouble.

"No, I don't want to confess anything, but to defend myself." Xu Jinghong's words were beyond the expectation of the other party: "Your excellency just said that the Fang family had something to do last night. At that time, I couldn't attack them at all, because the gate was closed at that time, and I was in the capital."

"This... what you said is just one-sided. How can you be accurate?"

"Last night, I was in Fanlou with someone, and I knew this as soon as I asked."

"Even if you don't do it yourself, you can let your subordinates do it! I heard that those people under you are the elite of the Southwest Army, and even the gangsters who were rampant at the beginning are not opponents. It should not be difficult to kill some women and children of the Fang family, right? Lian Chongru immediately put forward his own opinions.

"Although what the adults said is reasonable, it is unfortunately unrealistic. Because last night, they were in Fanlou just like me. Xu Jinghong immediately gave his own response.

This made Lian Chong Ru a little unable to refute for a moment, but soon, he still inferred: "It seems that what you said in Fanlou is just a cover, so that someone can testify for you after the incident. It's useless just to prove that you and your brother didn't leave, because you are accomplices!"

"Your Excellency is wrong again." Xu Jinghong sighed softly, as if he was regretting the repeated mistakes of the other party: "It was not my brother who drank with me in Fanlou last night, but others."

"Hmm?" Lian Chong was stunned, but still asked, "Who are they?"

"There are too many people, and it has not been reported at all for a time. I only remember that there was Zhaocong, the king of Jing, the little son of the Duke of Wei, and the third son of the Duke of the Duke of Chu..." Xu Jinghong reported a series of names, but he heard that the jury officials around him and Lian Chongru were stunned: "They all drank wine in Fanlou with me. Naturally, it was You can testify for me. As for my brothers, they also drank with these noble men in Fanlou last night, and it was impossible to leave. Therefore, if the Fang family happened last night, it really has nothing to do with us.

"..." This time, the integrity is really speechless. The names of these people reported by Xu Jinghong are all famous noble men in Beijing. Although their family is not as powerful as before, which is not as good as the seven people, they still have a certain influence in the court. Now if they can testify for Xu Jinghong, their power is still not small.

"If adults don't believe it, they can go to these people's homes to inquire, and they will soon be able to give me an innocence." Xu Jinghong smiled and proposed again.

"This official naturally saves it, and you don't need to remind him!" Lian Chongru snorted unhappily: "But before that, you are still the biggest suspect, so let's be wronged first. Come on, take him to the dungeon to watch and don't relax!" Finally, he ignored Xu Jinghong's idea and immediately ordered.

Immediately, several government officials came over and bowed their hands to Xu Jinghong and said, "Xu Dusi, please." These officials at the bottom still respect Xu Jinghong, a hero who dares to fight against the powerful, and do not add up to the evil deeds of ordinary people. Xu Jinghong knew that the other party would not let him go so easily, so he followed them and left the second hall cooperatively, and then re-ended with his brothers in the dungeon below.

And after thinking for a long time, Lian Chongru in the second hall got up and said to the humane: "You all pay close attention to people. Don't make any mistakes. I'll explore the customs first to see what the court means." After the order, he hurriedly left the government of the Ministry of Criminal Justice. What he wants to ask is naturally the backer behind him, the people of the Wu family.

At the same time, people in Gyeonggi Province have also been conducting a detailed survey of the post station 20 miles away. The people who came here to investigate the case this time are the best among the best in investigating cases in Gyeonggi Province. They all have decades of experience in investigating murders. But even so, they were still shocked when they saw the terrible scene in the backyard of the post station.

More than 100 people have been killed, and the air is full of disgusting blood. Even if they are used to dealing with death, it is difficult to adapt. Everyone looked at everything that fell to the ground with a blue face, and then carefully examined each body.

Half a day later, more than 100 bodies were carried to the open space and lined up in a long row. Wang Guben delayed for half a day before asking the first Lao Yan in the Gyeonggi Mansion next to him, "Mr. Yan, what do you think of the situation here?"

"People who kill people are good at this skill, and they should have a lot of lives in their hands." Lao Yan is the most calmest of all people here, which is also related to his always dealing with corpses. He is used to such an atmosphere and smell: "So I judge the murderer or a man in the army, or a professional killer."

Wang Guben did not answer, which reminded him of Xu Jinghong and his brothers. Didn't they come from the southwest army? Like everyone, when he knew that something big had happened to the Fang family, he also identified his first suspect as Xu Jinghong.

"In addition, through the preliminary examination of the bodies, they were killed by more than ten people, that is to say, there are only more than ten murderers. This can only be concluded from the wound of the deceased. Lao Yan continued to give opinions with his professional vision.

"More than 10 people will kill more than 100 people..." The people around the Gyeonggi government shivered, as if they were worried that the murderer would suddenly appear.

Wang Guben nodded and also expressed his opinion: "As far as the situation at the scene is concerned, the property carried by the deceased is still there, so it is not for robbery and murder, but for hatred..." At this point, he thought of Xu Jinghong, and everything inferred here is very appropriate to him.

Just then, a catcher came over with a grim look: "Wang, Mr. Yan, several bodies were also found over there. It was Lord Fang..."

Although they already knew that Fang Yuanshan would not be spared, when they heard this, they were still shocked, and then led by the catcher to a forest only more than ten feet away from the post station. There are five figures lying upside down in this small forest. Judging from the clothes of one of them, they can judge their identity as Fangyuan Mountain.

Several people did not dare to neglect and walked over carefully. Fang Yuanshan stared at each other and fell to the ground. Next to him was a solid man with a knife in his hand stabbed into another person's chest. In addition, there are also two bodies upside down on the left and right of the three, and the last three are all people in black night clothes...
