Daming King of Punishment

He didn't say that, Bai Zhuo had already forgotten what happened at noon today, and they had already confirmed that the identity of the waiter in this store was unusual, and it might be related to the murder case, maybe he was also a member of the Infinite Sect.

Soon, the waiter brought hot water, Song Wuya and Bai Zhuo washed their faces immediately, and left the inn immediately.

Bai Zhuo, who had always been puzzled, saw Song Wuya coming directly to the government office, and then he realized that his so-called magistrate's invitation to dinner seemed to be a non-existent thing, and it was nothing more than something imposed by himself. When he got down to the door, it was difficult for the prefect not to invite him.

Sure enough, he was very surprised to see Song Wuya and Bai Zhuo's prefect.

"Nephew, why did you come to me this late at night?"

"Master Zhifu, we haven't eaten yet." Song Wuya didn't explain anything, but just answered the wrong question.

Now it was the turn of Bai Zhuo and the magistrate to be embarrassed, Bai Zhuo didn't expect Song Wuya to be so straightforward, not at all tactful, just like you have to invite me to dinner.And the magistrate had a bitter look on his face, and he didn't know what to say.

"Okay, okay! This officer is calling the kitchen to cook, you come in first." The magistrate smiled, and he understood that it was Song Wuya and Bai Zhuo who came to him for a meal, of course he knew Song Wuya Ya must have something to say to him.

While the meal was still being prepared, Song Wuya and the three sat down and started talking.

"Master Zhifu, have you ever eaten?"

Although it was still early, Song Wuya still asked.

The magistrate shook his head and smiled.

"It's so early, the genius just got dark, and I haven't finished my official duties yet, so how can I have time to eat?" It seems that Song Wuya and the others really came early.

This incident made Bai Zhuo extremely embarrassed, so he simply sat aside and drank tea, ignoring their conversation.

"Oh! In other words, the magistrate has taken advantage of us! If we hadn't come here, you wouldn't have eaten so early, and you probably wouldn't have prepared as much as you are now." Song Wuya's words shocked Bai Zhuo was even more ashamed, he had never seen such a thick-skinned person, he would not say anything about coming in for a meal, but also said that the owner of the house had been honored by him, this is really the best person in the world.

Even the magistrate couldn't help laughing, and nodded repeatedly.Although Bai Zhuo didn't like to hear Song Wuya's words, but he was telling the truth.

Looking at the magistrate who was laughing out loud, Song Wuya finally started talking about serious things.

"Does the magistrate know anything about the concubines in the harem?" Bai Zhuo immediately became serious when he asked this question.

The magistrate obviously didn't understand the meaning of Song Wuya's words, he frowned slightly, stroked his beard and said with a smile, "Nephew, what do you want to know?"

"I want to ask Concubine Liu Gui about eating vegetarian food and worshiping the Buddha. I don't know if the magistrate knows about it?" Song Wuya came here today not because of this matter, but at this moment he just asked casually.

However, it seems that he asked the right person.

"To say that I understand is considered understanding." The magistrate hesitated for a moment and said: "This Concubine Liu Gui has been extremely intelligent since she was a child, and she is a first-class talented woman. Her father is the minister of the Ministry of Punishment, and she is also upright. Moreover, she was also eager to learn all her life, which is even worse than those university scholars. It is precisely because of such a father that Concubine Liu Gui is so intelligent. There are some overlaps, so I have to call her a teacher. This Concubine Liu Gui was intelligent since she was a child, but she also came here to live an ordinary life. Before she entered the palace, the officials visited Liu Shilang several times and saw After visiting her a few times, I also learned from the conversations between their father and daughter that there were also conflicts between the father and daughter. It seemed that Concubine Liu Gui was poor since she was a child, and she did not agree with her father's actions. Even when she was going to enter the In the imperial palace, his father did not agree, and there was a conflict over this, the two of them spoke fiercely at that time, and almost broke the relationship between father and daughter."

This made Song Wuya and Bai Zhuo unable to understand. Logically speaking, this should be a good thing. Why did the servant Liu want to stop Concubine Liu Gui?And where did the conflict between Concubine Liu Gui and her father come from? Is it just because of dissatisfaction with this poor life?

"Could it be? Concubine Liu Gui doesn't like her father's peace of mind, that's why she argues with her father like that?" Song Wuya asked suspiciously.

But what I got was an unsure answer from the magistrate, who shook his head: "This official can't explain it."

"Then Liu Shilang will be the father of the country in the future. I'm afraid this official fortune will be extremely prosperous?" Song Wuya continued to ask.

"Oh! That's not the case. After Concubine Liu Gui was selected into the palace, her father immediately resigned from the official position and returned to his hometown, but he didn't want to hear the news that she was named a noble concubine before he left the capital. , passed away two years ago."

The prefect's answer shocked Song Wuya.He couldn't figure out what was going on, how could a father not see his daughter climb the high branch of the royal family?It stands to reason that this is something that everyone yearns for, even in the current dynasty, the prime minister, who is under one person and over ten thousand people, is looking forward to this thing, let alone a little servant like him?

"Then what about Concubine Liu's other family members?" Song Wuya was a little disappointed, but still wanted to find out some news from this aspect.

The magistrate shook his head: "Liu Shilang was clean and poor all his life. He lost his wife in his early years and never remarried in his life. Apart from this daughter, there are only a few servants in the family. The servant died of illness, and the servants were also dismissed. Now I can't find him." gone."

This is great, this Concubine Liu Gui is still a poor person who has no relatives in the world.Recalling what the magistrate said just now, Song Wuya asked: "Then Concubine Liu Guifei ate vegetarian food and worshiped Buddha after her father died of illness?"

"This..." The magistrate rolled his eyes and recalled, and shook his head after a long time, "It shouldn't be, the servant should have died of illness after she believed in Buddhism. And the servant didn't see Concubine Liu Gui again until his death."

"That is to say, after Concubine Liu Gui entered the palace, she never went back to visit her relatives?" This made Song Wuya even more confused.

After all, people have feelings, but why does Concubine Liu Gui treat her father like this.From what the magistrate said, this Liu Shilang is also a respectable person, but why is she so disliked by her daughter?There must be some secret in it, but Song Wuya was a little hesitant to inquire about this matter, after all, it had nothing to do with Concubine Liu Gui's eating vegetarian food and worshiping Buddha.

"That's right, that's exactly the case. Concubine Liu Gui's eating vegetarian rituals was a strange behavior. At that time, she was one of the few concubines who could compete with Concubine Yi. I don't know why she suddenly announced this matter." The magistrate said What happened back then, I couldn't help but wonder.

It seems that this is really a strange thing, I am afraid that the reason for this can be known, the only way is to go to visit this Concubine Liu Gui.After pondering for a while, Song Wuya suddenly said to the magistrate: "Can you find the servants of Concubine Liu Gui's family for my nephew. I think it is necessary to find out what happened back then, maybe to find out The relationship between Concubine Liu Gui and her father will help this case."

"Well! This... I'm afraid it will be very difficult. After all, it has been two years. If you want to find the servant of the Liu family, it can be said that it is tantamount to finding a needle in a haystack!" The magistrate agreed, but he knew it was not An easy thing to do, after saying this, he suddenly said in surprise: "Why? My nephew suspects that the murderer is Concubine Liu Gui? How is this possible?"

"I do have this suspicion. I don't know what uncle means? Why is it impossible?" Song Wuya asked, not knowing whether to laugh or cry.

"This……"

Asked by Song Wuya, the magistrate immediately became hesitant.Song Wuya immediately frowned, it can be seen that the magistrate must have some inside story when he said this, otherwise he would not have said it with such certainty.

Seeing the expression on Song Wuya's face, the magistrate was extremely embarrassed, hesitated for a long time, and finally sighed.

"Hey! Speaking of it, this is just a little guesswork by the officer."

When he started to explain this matter, he became less sure, which made Song Wuya even more confused.

"Why did the magistrate say that?"

"Actually, before Concubine Liu Gui entered the palace, I also had some interactions with him. The difference in grade between the two of us is more than 20 years old. Now I am over half a hundred years old, and she is almost thirty. At that time, I was on good terms with Liu Shilang. Naturally, I also had a lot of contact with Concubine Liu Gui in private. At that time, I admired her talent very much. I heard her theory of governing the world more than once, and I also regretted that she was a daughter in front of the minister many times. My personal relationship with her It has also benefited a lot, and she is a woman, and she has the normality of a little woman. She has always been open-minded, but it is inevitable to show the indecision of a woman. Moreover, she is very obsessed with Buddhism and other sects. She once told me that the sect is the real way to govern the world. And being kind to others is what she has always advocated, and she is also a kind person, so I just said with certainty that the murderer was not hers."

So that's the case, Song Wuya nodded, he didn't know Concubine Liu Gui, and in this palace, he only heard that she doesn't deal with outsiders, and she doesn't have any notoriety, and everyone knows about her vegetarian rituals, In the eyes of the court ladies and eunuchs, he is a good person.

Nodding his head, Song Wuya did not continue to pursue this matter, he could see that the relationship between the magistrate and Concubine Liu Gui was probably not that simple.Just now he was able to mention the age gap, but he was suspected of deliberately getting rid of his relationship with his children.

Of course, this is not Song Wuya's random speculation, nor is it the crux of the case.

After chatting with Concubine Liu Gui, the servants also brought food, and Song Wuya talked about the inn while eating and drinking with the prefect.

"Master Zhifu, did you send someone to watch the inn?"

After taking a few mouthfuls, Song Wuya put down his chopsticks and looked up at the magistrate.The magistrate also calmed down from the excitement just now, seeing that Song Wuya was not talking about Concubine Liu Gui, he felt relieved.

"Nephew, don't worry, since you've already said it, uncle naturally doesn't dare to be careless. He has already sent someone to watch him, but he didn't find any unusual behavior from those people today."

Sure enough, the magistrate also wanted to solve this case as soon as possible, and he was also very concerned about what Song Wuya said.There was no discovery, which was also expected by Song Wuya. After all, these two people dared to hide in this market, and they had their own merits. Naturally, they were careful in everything they did.

Of course, be careful when sailing for ten thousand years, but after all, they are still human beings, not gods, and they can't predict everyone's things, so they stepped into the trap deliberately set by Song Wuya, and they didn't realize it.

"Now, I have confirmed that this inn is definitely related to that case. It should be a stronghold of the Wuliang Sect." Song Wuya expressed his judgment with certainty.

Bai Zhuo who was eating at the side was shocked when he heard this.

"Brother Wuya, how are you sure?" He was a little puzzled as to how Song Wuya found out. He followed Song Wuya every day, but he didn't notice what Song Wuya did. It's just a suspicion, there has never been such a positive confirmation.

Like him, the prefect was also very puzzled, "Yes! Nephew, this is not a joke, didn't you say it was just suspicion?"
