The Case of the Cat Ghost Chapter 8

Previous page        Return to Catalog        Next page

    The news quickly spread throughout the entire Celestial Dynasty.

    The Gu family was full of loyalty, but was wiped out by a beggar.

    It's absurd to kill the murderer at the Meridian Gate and snow in July.

    This incident has had a great impact, and the hearts of the people have been slightly shaken.

    In the present day of the Celestial Dynasty, that is to say, after Emperor Jing Yuan heard about the snowfall in July, he immediately became furious, directly dismissed the three of them from their official positions, and issued an order to assassinate the frontiers.

    On this day, Emperor Jing Yuan was discussing with the prime minister about the flood in the south in the imperial study. Eunuch Li, the chief steward, ran in in a panic, bowed his head, and said tremblingly, "Long live, the Prince of Dingguo is beating the grievance drum outside the palace.  !"

    Emperor Jing Yuan was taken aback for a moment, and suddenly frowned when he remembered something.

    After the snow fell in July that day, he thought about retrying the case. Later, an urgent secret letter from the south came from the south.  According to the secret letter, it rained heavily in July, and the Qiantang River in the south of the Yangtze River flooded, flooding nearby towns and drowning countless ordinary people who had no time to escape.

    Once the flood broke out, not to mention the destruction of the crops, the official road connecting the north and the south was also submerged.  The military rations that were supposed to be delivered to the prince's side before the end of July had to be delayed halfway.

    At the end of last year, Dali sent troops to attack the south of the Yangtze River, and Prince Shen Xuan led 200,000 cavalry to support the southern border.  The food and salaries they brought, calculated carefully, could last at most one month.  If the military rations have not been delivered within one month, the morale of the army will definitely be shaken.

    At that time, whether the southern border can be defended, and whether the prince can return safely are all matters.

    The person who escorted the rations was a military general who was not good at controlling floods, so he sent someone to hurry up and send this secret letter into Chang'an.

    Emperor Jing Yuan always valued the crown prince, and since the crown prince is the eldest son, he naturally loved him more.

    After Shen Yu was established as the crown prince, Emperor Jing Yuan invited the best Confucianism and military generals in the celestial dynasty to be his husband, and taught him the way of governing the country himself - he was cultivated with the crown prince as his successor.  Emperor Yuan was the first to worry.

    ?In recent days, he has been discussing with the prime minister how to deal with the flood, and to send the military salary as soon as possible, so that he has forgotten about the case of Ding Guohou's extermination.

    "Long live Lord, today is the first seven days of Ding Guohou, and it is the day when Fuling is buried." Eunuch Li bowed his waist to remind him when Emperor Jing Yuan came back to his senses.

    "I'm going to help the spirit." Emperor Jing Yuan pondered for a moment, put down the memorial, got up and walked out of the imperial study.

    The discussion was fruitless, the prime minister silently held a bundle of memorials, went back to the prime minister's mansion, and invited several upright and upright ministers from the court to continue discussing the matter of flood control.

    Shen Cong heard the deafening beating of drums, took an umbrella and came outside the imperial city.

    After the snow stopped, there was another heavy rain.

    The young man's thin back was very clear in the rain.  He beat the big drum firmly one after another, not caring whether he would fall down because of the cold.

    No matter how much a person resists, his body is still made of flesh.

    Gu Jiuling was caught in the rain twice in a row. In the past seven days, he was in charge of organizing the funerals of Gu's family and never stopped for a moment.

    Shen Cong could see that the exhaustion of this little prince was all written in those eyes without any waves.

    He slowly stepped forward and took Gu Jiuling's cold hand.

    "Go and bury your father first. After the hour, he won't be able to return to the underworld." Shen Cong slowly opened his lips.

    Gu Jiuling's body froze slightly.

    He lowered his eyes and let go of the drumstick.

    The drumstick fell to the ground, and the mist in the boy's eyes also fell to the ground.

    "Jiuling of the Gu family, I will be with you to bury the spirit of Dingguo Hou Fuling." A deep voice came from not far away.

    The two looked together and saw Emperor Jing Yuan coming from a distance in sackcloth.

    He didn't hold an umbrella, and came all the way in the rain. He pulled up the two people who were about to kneel, and patted Gu Jiuling on the shoulder: "I will give you Gu's Zhonglie an explanation."

    "Thank you, Your Majesty." Gu Jiuling lowered her eyes and wanted to make a bow, but was pulled back again.

    "Go to Dingguohou's Mansion, and I will help the spirit with you."

    Shen Cong watched the two go away, and behind him was Eunuch Li who was chasing after him with an umbrella.

    He turned his head silently and went to the Yamen.

    Two people in bright-colored flying fish robes conducted an autopsy with Wu in the morgue.

    That corpse was the skull that Shen Cong saw in the thatched hut.

    When Shen Cong came over, he saw that the skull was completely empty, and the bite marks on the skull also changed.

    "People's tooth marks are not made by monsters." One of the flying fish robes bowed to Shen Cong, and slowly opened his lips.

    They are Jin Yiwei of the Ministry of Ming Dynasty, responsible for examining human cases.

    Shen Cong frowned.

    "On that dayWhat I saw was the traces left by monsters.  He reached out to touch the skull, found a trace of witchcraft, and narrowed his eyes slightly.

    Want to cheat the world?

    He took off the jade-faced keel fan from his waist, formed mudras with both hands, and typed out a set of formulas under Wu Zuo's novel eyes.

    "Fighting in battle, break!"

    Shen Cong let out a low cry, and a puff of blue smoke rose from his skull instantly.  The green smoke dissipated, and the tooth marks of the monster were exposed again.

    The two Jinyi guards from the Ming Ministry looked at each other, then bowed and said: "Since there are demons, then transfer to the Anbu for inspection."

    When Emperor Jing Yuan went to Dingguohou's Mansion, he asked Eunuch Li to pass on an oral order, and asked Jin Yiwei to investigate the case of Gu's extermination.

    Jin Yiwei took over and immediately came to the autopsy.

    So there was this scene.

    Shen Cong nodded, and after Wu Zuo left, he and the two Jinyiwei of the Ming Dynasty went to Duwei's Mansion to ask the commander of the Jinyiwei of the Anbu.

    Commander Song Cheng is a newly appointed official. It is said that he is only in his thirties, and he is already in the state of conceiving a baby.

    At this age in this world, he cultivated to conceive a baby, which shows the horror of his talent.

    Shen Cong is just a yamen catcher now, and has never met his immediate boss.  When he saw the real person, he always felt that he had seen Song Cheng's fragile-looking face somewhere.

    After thinking for a while, Shen Cong suddenly remembered that last year, the person who was scolded and dismissed by Emperor Jing Yuan for coveting the wealth of the landlord Wan Guan last year seemed to be Song Cheng too.

    It seems that it is him.

    Shen Cong raised his eyebrows.

    His father has always acted decisively, like Ming Taizu, never appointed corrupt officials, once found out, he would be dismissed directly, and the crime of corruption would be punished according to the size of the crime, and then he would be reduced to slavery and sent to the frontier.

    This Song Cheng seems to be an exception.

    However, the current matter is to find out the real culprit of Gu's extermination case.

    Let's talk about the rest in the future.

    After Song Cheng heard about this, he pondered for a moment, and slowly opened his lips: "So, I ordered Shen Cong to take over the case, and he must settle his grievances."

    "Your subordinate obeys." Shen Cong bowed his head.

    In Jinyiwei, there are many descendants of princes and nobles. They all put down their figures and only call themselves subordinates.

    The same is true for Shen Cong.

    During the heavy rain, the bell of Chang'an City rang three times.

    is the death knell.

    Shen Cong stood on a tall building in the imperial city, looking at the spirit-helping team on the street in the distance.

    They were all dressed in sackcloth and covered their coffins with white cloth and walked in the rain.

    ?Gu Jiuling walked at the forefront holding the tablet of Ding Guohou, followed by Emperor Jing Yuan who was helping the spirit, and Eunuch Li who was in a panic.

    Eunuch Li chased after Emperor Jing Yuan with an umbrella in his arms.
