Daming King of Punishment

Hu Butou greeted Song Wuya and the others politely, and at the same time stopped in front of them.

"Hmm! It's been a while since I've seen him. How's Butou Hu doing?" Song Wuya also greeted with a smile.

Hu Butou smiled slightly: "It can't be said to be good, but it can't be said to be bad. However, Mr. Song, don't you know that Mr. Zhifu..."

Seeing the four of them come here suddenly, Butou Hu's first reaction was that they were here to look for Situ Yi.But Situ Yi has already resigned and is no longer here, so he hesitated to say this.

Song Wuya naturally noticed this, and smiled slightly: "We already know about Uncle's resignation. We came here this time to investigate the murder of Marquis Annan!"

"So that's it!" Hu Butou put away the embarrassment on his face when he heard this. "I thought your lord and miss came back to find the old magistrate!"

"Let's go, let's go in and talk about it." Song Wuya said and walked inside: "I don't know when the new magistrate will take office. In the past few days, we have been handling cases in the magistrate's yamen."

Before Song Wuya took a few steps, Hu Butou said awkwardly: "Master Song, the new prefect has already passed away!"

"Huh?" Hearing this, Song Wuya frowned in surprise and said, "He took office so soon? Then can he investigate this case?"

"The magistrate has just arrived and is still sorting out the affairs of the mansion, so he hasn't paid any attention to this case yet!" Hu catcher said with a bitter face.

"The newly-appointed magistrate is not in a hurry to intervene in this big case involving human life? The dead person is not an ordinary person, but An Nanhou!" Bai Zhuo looked at Hu Butou angrily and asked.

Hu Butou didn't know how to respond to what he said, and smiled awkwardly.

Song Wuya shook his head slightly: "Okay, Butou Hu, you go and report that the two of us are here on business."

"Yes, two adults, please wait a moment." Hu Butou responded and walked inside.

Not long after, I saw a man in an official robe coming out from a distance, and before he got there, he laughed and greeted the two of them with clasped fists: "Lord Song, Lord Bai, don't come here and be safe!"

Hearing this, Song Wuya and Bai Zhuo also saw his face clearly, and their expressions changed all of a sudden.

What the two of them did not expect was that the new prefect of Songjiang Mansion who had just arrived was actually an old acquaintance of the two of them.This old acquaintance was none other than Zhu Yuanlong who had some festivities with them!

"My lord!"

The two spoke almost in unison, and they didn't mean to ridicule at all, they were completely surprised.

The two of them never imagined that they would meet Zhu Yuanlong in this place.Originally, they had heard about Zhu Yuanlong, and knew that Zhu Yuanlong had been demoted and transferred from the capital, but they did not expect to come to Songjiang.

"The two adults didn't expect to see me here, did they?" Zhu Yuanlong looked at the two with a smile, especially the surprised look on their faces, which made Zhu Yuanlong very proud. "Calculating the time, we haven't seen each other for more than three months. In a flash, this summer is almost over."

Calculating the time, it has been more than three months.It has been more than a month since they went to Yingtian Mansion and when they returned.When I came to Songjiang Mansion again, it took more than a month on the road, and it was really three months.

"Seeing Mr. Zhu really surprised me! I really didn't expect to see Mr. Zhu here." Song Wuya nodded, admitting that he was really surprised.

Zhu Yuanlong smiled slightly, and stood sideways: "My lords, please, let's catch up on the old days!"

"That's right." Song Wuya said politely.

If there is anything good to talk about between them, it's just that they met in Songjiang Mansion, that's also a fate, Song Wuya didn't want to be too unkind.

After entering the back hall, Zhu Yuanlong asked everyone to sit down, and then started talking.

"It seems that the two adults came to Songjiang Mansion for the case of Marquis Annan, right?"

"That's right, we're officially here for this case." Song Wuya nodded in response.

Zhu Yuanlong went on to say: "Several months have passed by now, Marquis Annan's body has rotted away, and his family has already brought the body back for burial first!"

"Oh? The corpses have already been buried?" Song Wuya frowned. If it was an autopsy, the coffin would probably need to be opened. "It stands to reason that even if the corpse is extremely corrupt, it should be left in the yamen for the time being!"

"This is true, but Wu Zuo has experienced the corpse, so the government returned the corpse to Annanhou's family. Anyway, this Annanhou is also a prince. Although he is not a relative of the emperor, he is still a prince. Noble man! This residence doesn't have the ability to stop his family and prevent him, the Marquis, from being buried!" Zhu Yuanlong expressed his difficulties.

There is nothing wrong with what you say. It has been a tradition since ancient times that people go to the earth to rest in peace after death.Especially in this weather, the family couldn't bear to watch the corpse rot.

Song Wuya nodded: "Since there is someone to do the autopsy, it doesn't matter."

"When did the two adults arrive at Songjiang Mansion?" After Zhu Yuanlong briefly explained the situation of the corpse, he asked the two about their arrival in Songjiang.

Bai Zhuo replied: "I just arrived yesterday, I came here after resting for one night."

"The two adults really worked hard. The journey was tiring, so we should take some rest. It is rare for us to see you in this Songjiang mansion today. The mansion will hold a banquet tonight, and the two adults must appreciate it!" Zhu Yuanlong invited with a smile. two people.

This Zhu Yuanlong is probably really changed. When he was in the capital, he was polite to Song Wuya and Bai Zhuo, it was to let them investigate the matter of Wuliangjiao, which is reasonable.But now that they had left the capital, they didn't need to investigate the Infinite Sect anymore. He still treated them like this, which made Song Wuya feel a little strange.

Since he wanted to invite the two of them to dinner, Song Wuya did not refuse: "Since Master Zhu is so enthusiastic, then I would rather be respectful than obedient! But I can tell you what I said first, we are old acquaintances, I wish you sir But don't be too extravagant!"

"Okay, just follow what Master Song said." Seeing that Song Wuya agreed, Zhu Yuanlong didn't care about these requests he said, and nodded readily.

What happened at night while eating, this case needs to be investigated during the day.Song Wuya looked at Zhu Yuanlong, and asked, "I don't know what opinion Master Zhu has on this case? Has there ever been any suspects that you should suspect?"

"To tell the truth, Mr. Song, this case has not been investigated by the government, and it is going to be dealt with in a few days. I did not expect the two adults to come here at this moment. Since the two adults have come here specially for this case, the government will not intervene." Zhu Yuanlong said with a smile.

Sure enough, just as Butler Hu said, after Zhu Yuanlong came to Songjiang Mansion, he didn't pay attention to this case at all.It was as if he knew that Song Wuya and Bai Zhuo were coming, and was waiting for them to investigate.

Although Zhu Yuanlong's words made people feel a little uncomfortable, there was really nothing to say.After all, Song Wuya and Bai Zhuo came here specially for this case, so it is normal for them to investigate from the beginning.

After saying this, Song Wuya stood up: "Well, let's take a look at the process of the case first. I would like to ask you to assign a few yamen servants to obey our orders."

"Naturally." Zhu Yuanlong readily agreed.

"Since that's the case, then we won't disturb Mr. Zhu's business. I think Mr. Zhu still has a lot of things to deal with just after he took office!" Song Wuya said politely, and he was ready to start investigating the case.

Zhu Yuanlong sighed heavily: "Master Song's words are not false at all! This is considered to be busy every day in the capital, but I didn't expect the magistrate to be busier."

After feeling a lot of emotion, Zhu Yuanlong called the master and asked the master to take the two of them to understand the case first, and then Catcher Hu took them to the scene of the crime.

More than two months ago, on the night of the full moon, Marquis An Nan returned home drunk.After returning to his mansion, he didn't need to wash up, and he didn't need to be served by servants, so he just fell asleep.

Until the next morning, the maidservant who came to serve saw the bright red blood that had penetrated the window paper, called the servants in the courtyard, and went into the room to check together, only to find that Marquis Annan had died unexpectedly, with blood splattered all over the room.

"Hu Butou, is there really blood everywhere?"

Song Wuya felt very surprised. When he was walking on the road, he wanted to ask Hu Butou. The description of the case and the scene he saw in the magistrate's yamen felt extremely exaggerated.

When he asked, Hu Butou pursed his lips and stared at his eyes, and nodded vigorously: "Master Song, I have seen many murder scenes, but this is the first time such a horrific one. Such a big one The house, blood splattered everywhere, it's scary!"

Speaking of the scene, Hu Butou felt a little scary.Judging from this point, I'm afraid the large amount of blood on the scene is real.

As soon as he spoke, Song Wuya and his party came to the Marquis Mansion of Marquis Annan.

People from afar saw the white flags hanging in front of Lord Hou's mansion, which shows that this white matter may not be finished yet!It stands to reason that this day has already passed, and when I walked to the door, I could still hear the sound of drinking and chanting scriptures from inside.

When they came to the door, the servants of Lord Hou's mansion stopped them.
