my wife is mulan

Zhao Ping immediately asked: "What's his name? Does he drink alcohol on weekdays?"

"Return to Your Highness, his name is Sun Ming, and he can drink a few sips on weekdays. He is an old alcoholic, and he can't hide anything after drinking. Early the next morning, when the neighbor went to the pond to fetch water, he was found. After the corpse was picked up, there was a strong smell of alcohol. Everyone thought that he was drunk and fell into the pond and drowned. It is possible to be murdered and silenced!"

Zhao Ping nodded. This is a relatively important clue. He ordered the accompanying officials to record it, and then asked: "After Cui Yanze and Hui Chengdong were killed, did you find any other clues? Is there anyone you suspect? "

The soldier on duty at that time raised his hand and said: "Your Highness, Cui Yanze still breathed a sigh of relief when I led the people to arrive. He said three words before he died. I think it must be related to the instigation!"

Zhao Ping immediately asked: "What did he say before he died?"

"Week, Thursday!"

Zhao Ping frowned: "The second week must be repeated. What Cui Yanze really wanted to talk about should be Thursday! Is there an official named Thursday in Xingyang County?"

The head of the cell replied: "I'm afraid I will have to ask someone from the Sheriff's Office to look through the personnel files!"

Zhao Ping immediately sent two groups of people. The first group of two people was led by the prison head to search for clues at the house of Sun Ming who fell into the water and drowned; If there are no people on Thursday, check the household registration files to see how many people named Thursday are there in the whole city, and bring suspicious people for questioning.

Zhao Ping did not forget his duty, and he immediately ordered the other officials to be brought up for interrogation one by one.

In the middle of the night, beside the water, it was cold and windy.

A man in black stood by the water, his cloak flapping in the cold wind.

Not long after, a middle-aged man in a leather jacket ran over on a horse, and he stopped in front of the man in black cloak. The wind was so strong that his face hurt, he jumped off the horse, rubbed his hands and complained : "It's such a cold weather, I really don't know why you chose this place for the meeting, isn't it just asking for guilt?"

The man in the black cloak said in an emotionless voice, "You're late!"

"It's better to be late than never. Aren't you just worried that you won't get the final payment? Don't worry, I won't lose you a penny!" After finishing speaking, the middle-aged man took a small cloth bag from the horse's back and threw it to the black-clothed man. cloak man.

The man in the black cloak stretched out his hand to catch it. The gold in the cloth bag made a knocking sound, which was very pleasant. He opened the cloth bag and reached out to touch it. He was sure it was gold and the weight was about the same.

At this time, the middle-aged man said: "You took the gold, but I have to say something, although you got rid of the two main targets this time, you still didn't clean up those little miscellaneous fish, did you Should I finish the rest of the work?"

The man in the black cloak tied it into the mouth of the cloth bag, raised his head and said, "Yes, but you have to pay extra!"

The middle-aged man was very dissatisfied: "What's the matter with you? We agreed at the beginning, I paid you 100 taels of gold, and you killed all the officials who were arrested, but you only killed two, which is equivalent to Did not complete the task! Now you actually want to add more money, how can you do this?"

The man in the black cloak suddenly flashed, and hit the middle-aged man in the ribs in a circle. The middle-aged man didn't have time to react, his eyeballs were swollen to the point of falling off, and he raised his hand pointing to the black cloak to freeze. The expression on his face also became stiff, and after a few seconds, his body fell straight on the ground and twitched continuously.

"Don't think that I don't know that you guys want to use me to distract the government and get my attention? Hmph, I want you to go around, otherwise it will be difficult to solve the hatred in my heart!"

After speaking in a low voice, the man in the black cloak took the gold and stepped onto the horse the middle-aged man was riding, shook the reins and galloped away into the night.

The next morning, the body of the middle-aged man was found by the fisherman near Surabaya.At dusk, Zhao Ping was interrogating offenders when he received the news.

A policeman from the government office led the way by lighting an oil lamp. Zhao Ping led several police officers from the Imperial City Division and a few soldiers from the Shenwu Army into the morgue, accompanied by the thief Cao from the government office.

The head catcher put the oil lamp on the table, and the thief Cao introduced to Zhao Ping: "Your Highness, the deceased is a 40-year-old middle-aged man. The body is tied with a pass around his waist. The pass shows that this person is from Chang'an. His name is Zou Fugui. Judging from his identity on the record, this Zou Fugui is an ordinary person, but he is wearing silk and satin all over his body. He is not an official and wealthy businessman, he must be a servant of an official and wealthy businessman!"

Zhao Ping frowned and said, "Could it be that because he is from Chang'an, your prefect's house is going to push this case to me?"

The thief Cao quickly said: "Your Highness has misunderstood. If it is just an ordinary criminal case, I would never dare to disturb His Highness. It's just that the cause of this person's death is a little special!"

"Oh? What kind of special law?" Zhao Ping asked.

"Your Highness, this person was punched in the ribs, broke three ribs, and died of massive spleen hemorrhage. According to his deduction, the punch was very hard and the force was very concentrated. The whole body of the deceased except for this In other words, the deceased was killed by this punch, and the murderer didn't use the second move at all! Think about it, Your Highness, who has the ability to kill the ribs with one punch? The location? And the location was found so accurately? The murderer is obviously an assassin who is extremely proficient in killing! The lower official heard that His Highness was investigating the assassination of criminals Cui Yanze and Hui Chengdong, so he wondered if the deceased was related to the case ?”

Zhao Ping beckoned, and a soldier came forward with a lantern. Under the light of the light, Zhao Ping observed the location of the messenger's fatal wound. The injured part collapsed, and there was a bruised fist mark.

"What a skill!" Zhao Ping exclaimed, and he straightened up and told a police officer accompanying him, "Go back and rest, and ride back to Chang'an on a fast horse tomorrow morning to find out the identity of Zou Fugui for this king! "

"Yes, Your Highness!"

Looking at the empty camp for the victims, Zhao Junsheng felt relieved. This Xingyang County is the largest disaster-stricken area. Now that the victims have received the food and set foot on the way back to their hometown at full speed, they can definitely go back to their hometowns before winter begins. With the help of the local government and the garrison, the house was rebuilt and the food and clothing for the winter were received.

However, on the north bank of the Yellow River, there is also Hanoi County, which is also a hard-hit area, but the degree of disaster there is lighter than that of Xingyang County. Zhang Tiandu, the minister of the Ministry of Industry who was in charge of disaster relief, has also done a lot of things in Hanoi. Fewer victims, but it's not enough.

Under the command of the officials, the government officials, county soldiers, and county soldiers cleaned up the messy camp left by the victims. Zhao Junsheng stood by and thought about the next arrangement.

Eunuch Yuan He came over and bowed to report: "Your Majesty, His Highness the King of Shu has come!"

Upon hearing this, Zhao Junsheng asked, "Is dinner ready?"

"Almost ready!"

Zhao Junsheng nodded, turned around and walked towards the palace, saying as he walked: "Send someone to call the prince to have dinner together, remember not to reveal his true identity!"

"promise!"

When Zhao Junsheng walked to the palace, Zhao Ping was already waiting at the gate of the palace, and he stepped forward to greet him: "I have seen my father!"

Zhao Junsheng said: "I have sent someone to call your brother. You brothers have not seen each other for several years. You should meet and talk!"

"Yes, Erchen is here this time to see my elder brother!"

Zhao Junsheng and Zhao Ping talked for a while in the hall, and Zhao Dong rushed over.

"I pay my respects to my father!" Zhao Dong saluted Zhao Junsheng, and after getting up, he said to Zhao Ping with a smile: "The third brother is here. We haven't seen each other for several years. The third brother has grown up!"

Zhao Ping bowed to Zhao Dong and said, "I've seen my elder brother. A few years ago, my elder brother suddenly disappeared. I asked my father and mother where my elder brother had gone, but they didn't say anything. They only told our brothers and sisters that my elder brother went to join the army. But he didn’t say where he joined the army, my brothers and sisters and I miss my elder brother very much!”

Zhao Dongdao: "Let the third brother and the other brothers and sisters worry!"

Zhao Junsheng said at the right time: "Okay, sit down, let's talk while eating. Come, serve!"

A family banquet with only three fathers and sons started. The food and drinks are not very good, there are not many varieties, and the quantity is not very large, but it is enough for the three fathers and sons to eat.

Zhao Junsheng said: "Nowadays the people have been hit by a disaster, and many people can't eat enough. Let's eat whatever we want. Even if there is no disaster, we should not waste food on weekdays. No matter how much or how good we eat, at most It can only grow a body of fat, which is not only useless to the body, but harmful! Alright, let's eat!"

The brothers filled up the wine and stood up and said, "I respect my father and emperor!"

"it is good!"

The father and son drank a cup together, ate their dishes, and talked while eating.

Zhao Junsheng said: "You don't need to be restrained today. There is no emperor, no prince, or prince here, only father and son! Do you know what your father's greatest wish is for you?"

Zhao Dongdao: "I also ask my father to teach me!"

Zhao Ping also stopped his chopsticks and listened attentively.

"Father, I hope that you brothers and sisters will be harmonious and united with each other for the rest of your life. Some of you are princes, some are princes, and some are princesses. You hold the power and future of the Daqian Empire. You have nothing to lack. What you have to do It is to develop this empire stronger, make the people under it live better, let it stand on the top of the world, and let all nations come to court and surrender. Among you brothers and sisters, whoever has difficulties, other brothers and sisters To help each other, don't learn from those princes, princes and princesses in the previous dynasty who fought to the death for power and wealth. Is it interesting to fight among your brothers and sisters? If you have the ability to fight with others, don't keep staring at your own home. Let go! Whether it is a country, a family, or a person, we must not rest on our laurels, we must have the courage to open up, and we must have a pioneering and enterprising spirit!"

When Zhao Junsheng said this, he took a sip of wine, "In terms of blood relationship, the blood relationship between brothers and sisters is actually closer than the blood relationship between father and mother and children. Children only inherit one and a half blood relationship from their parents, while brothers and sisters This is the so-called full blood. Why do those barbarians have the tradition of brothers and sisters? It is because they think that brothers and sisters are closer, so you have to be united. If jackals come, you Brothers and sisters should work together to kill it, kill the jackal and run the family well together. You have to understand a truth, only when the Daqian Dynasty is good, you will be good. If the Daqian Dynasty is not strong or weak, you will gradually Lose momentum!"
