Daming King of Punishment

After waiting like this for a while, it happened that one of the two guard generals I saw yesterday came out of the palace. After seeing Song Wuya and Bai Zhuo, he immediately walked over with a big smile.

"I thought the two sons hadn't woken up today! I wondered if I had a nightmare last night."

The general came over with a smile, raised his hand and waved at these subordinates, and immediately said: "These two young masters are appointed by the emperor to assist in the investigation of the case in the palace. If anyone of you sees you in the future, immediately take them to the harem. Yet?"

The majesty of the general was naturally not comparable to the thin faces of Song Wuya and Bai Zhuo, and the guards immediately responded loudly.

"General, I want to interrogate a eunuch named Xiaochunzi."

Under the leadership of the general, the two followed to the palace where Concubine Yi lived yesterday, and Song Wuya immediately mentioned this to the general on the way.

"Oh? So, what did Mr. Song discover about this little Chunzi?"

The general was also very pleasantly surprised. Obviously, he also wanted to solve the case as soon as possible, so as not to have long nights and dreams. At that time, the emperor blamed him and charged him with being unfavorable.

Song Wuya nodded his head lightly a few times, "Yes, there is a doubtful point in Xiao Chunzi's confession, I have to believe it and investigate it clearly, it may be very helpful to solve the case."

Not to mention the general, even Song Wuya and Bai Zhuo wanted to resolve this case urgently.Seeing that the new year will be in a few days, they can't go back, but they still hope to go back on the fifteenth day of the first lunar month.However, now it seems that if she is involved in this case, she might not be able to pass the fifteenth day of the first lunar month.

"Okay! This is easy to talk about. I will send someone to bring him in a while." The general agreed immediately, and the three of them had already arrived outside the palace. He looked at a guard guarding the gate and immediately ordered: "Go and bring him to the palace." Bring that Xiaochunzi to General Ben."

The guard responded and left quickly.

After entering inside, Song Wuya frowned again.He patted his chest and assured these people that this was definitely not caused by ghosts and ghosts, but man-made.But until now, he didn't have any evidence to prove that this matter was man-made.The matter of the candle is just a small connection, but it can't explain anything.

When he came to the main hall, Song Wuya looked up and looked around, then asked in surprise, "Why isn't that general there?"

"Yeah! He caught the wind and cold yesterday, and he is sick today." The general replied casually, and walked to the brazier: "You two young masters, you should come over and enjoy the fire. The winter in the capital is not as good as that in the south, but the cold It's amazing!"

"That's right! The general is right. The weather in the capital is really unbearable. There was another heavy snowfall last night, and the cold is getting worse." Bai Zhuo rubbed his hands, and his mouth couldn't stop trembling. Air-conditioning, said and sat in front of the brazier.

To be honest, Song Wuya really didn't sleep well last night.He was not thinking about Situ Wen in Songjiang, nor the people who were affected by the disaster, but thinking about the murderer's method of committing the crime.

"General, I wonder if you have checked above the beams?" Song Wuya also sat down and asked immediately.

The general was taken aback when he heard this, and immediately frowned: "The beam? What are you doing checking the beam?"

It seems that they decided that it was ghosts and ghosts at all, and they didn't conduct a careful investigation.Song Wuya immediately explained.

"I preliminarily speculate that this ghost is probably because someone used the mist to make these maids and eunuchs hallucinate, and then hung white cloths on the beams, making these court ladies and eunuchs think they saw a ghost in a trance."

As soon as this remark came out, the general immediately applauded: "Mr. Song is really wonderful! Why didn't this general think of it? What you said is really true, it is very possible."

While speaking, the general had already got up, came to the door and greeted immediately: "Come here! Bring a pair of ladders and check the beams in the hall."

As soon as the order was given, two guards came in with a thin eunuch.

"General, the eunuch Xiao Chunzi has been brought here."

Xiao Chunzi was brought into the hall, the general immediately pointed to Song Wuya: "You have met this Mr. Song yesterday, he still has a few words to ask you."

"Yes! Excuse me, my lord." Xiaochunzi nodded his lowered head.

"I saw you said yesterday that you saw the cold light shining on the ground?" Song Wuya didn't talk nonsense, and asked straight to the point.

Xiao Chunzi responded immediately: "Young master is right, the villain did see the cold light."

"What you saw was moonlight?" Song Wuya immediately asked again.

After hesitating for a while, Xiaochunzi shook his head: "It doesn't look like moonlight, and the twinkling and small ones can't be described, so we can only call it cold light."

"Oh?" Song Wuya was a little surprised, "It's really a twinkle?"

"En! That's right, I dare to guarantee it with my head." Xiao Chunzi directly used his own head to guarantee it. It seems that he thought that Song Wuya felt that he had lied here.

Song Wuya nodded, but he was even more puzzled in his heart, unable to understand what was going on.

"General, here comes the ladder."

Song Wuya, who was thinking about this matter in his heart, was interrupted by this sound. He looked up, but saw several guards walking in carrying a pair of ladders.

Hearing this, the general immediately scolded angrily: "I said you idiots, didn't the general just say that? Take the ladder and go to the beam of the house, you just go up and have a look. Could it be that you want General Ben to go up in person?"

It was just a casual remark, but the general was still angry. The guard immediately lowered his head, not daring to say anything, and obediently set up the ladder and climbed up the beam.

Soon, the guard who had climbed up to the beam shouted to the general below: "General! There are no traces here."

"No trace?"

The general and Song Wuya said in surprise in unison.

They believed that there would be traces on the beams, but now there are nothing.After Song Wuya heard this, he thought about it for a while, then he was taken aback, and hurriedly asked: "Is it very clean up there, without even a speck of dust?"

As soon as he said this, the general immediately laughed.

"Mr. Song, why bother? Even if this is the inner courtyard of the palace, it doesn't mean that there is not a speck of dust on the beams, right? If that's the case, it would be really strange."

Unexpectedly, as soon as he said this, the guard above who was about to answer suddenly didn't know what to say.

"Didn't you hear Young Master Song ask you?" Although the general teased Song Wuya, how come Song Wuya raised this question, and there is an answer, right?

This made it a little difficult for the imperial guard, he looked at the general hesitantly, and after a long time he hesitated and said: "General, can I tell the truth?"

"Isn't this nonsense?" The general immediately cursed angrily.

Upon hearing this, the imperial guard curled his lips and said bitterly: "General, what you said just now was wrong. The beam on this room is indeed spotless as Mr. Song said, as if someone just cleaned it. over average."

When the imperial guard spoke, the general was stunned, and looked at Song Wuya in disbelief, feeling puzzled in his heart.

"Master Song, how do you know this?"

For this point, Song Wuya naturally has his own explanation, and this explanation is also very simple.

"General, as I said before, I suspect that this is caused by man-made, maybe something like white cloth or white gauze was hung from the beams of the house, and the maids and eunuchs mistook it as ghosts in a trance. So I believe that the traces of that time will definitely be left on the beams. And just now, General, you also said that even in the inner courtyard of the palace, the beams are not always spotless. But at this moment, the beams are really It's spotless, if it wasn't for the maids and eunuchs who cleaned it recently, then the murderer did it on purpose to destroy the evidence."

After explaining this to the general, Song Wuya immediately said: "Check the other beams to see if all the places are clean."

After saying this, Song Wuya immediately asked Xiao Chunzi who was waiting at the side: "How often do you clean the beams in your hall?"

"My lord, we clean it every season, and now it's almost time for cleaning." Xiao Chunzi naturally heard what the people said just now, and understood what Song Wuya meant when he asked him, so he immediately said the truth come out.

As soon as these words came out, everyone present understood that this must be the murderer's work.

"How is this possible? Then how could the murderer clean up all the beams here? You must know that we sealed off the place not long after the incident."

The General of the Imperial Guard knew very well what this meant.It represented that the murderer calmly cleaned up all the evidence that might be left at the crime scene.

Looking at the doubts on his face, Song Wuya sighed helplessly: "General! Let alone the day when the case happened. Even last night, there was no one on duty in this hall?"
