That night, Luo Chong personally went to the home of the Minister of Hube and took his second son into his own little universe. ¨R
There is an island on a certain planet in the small universe. There are no large beasts on the island, but all kinds of food are quite abundant. This second young master has practiced martial arts to some extent, and his ability to survive is much stronger than ordinary people. Moreover, Luo Chong also gave He left behind some daily utensils such as axes, hatchets, bows and arrows, and fishing nets. Maybe in three to five years, he can be returned to his original world.
But by then, the Jin Dynasty will probably no longer exist, and his father will no longer be the Minister of Household Affairs.
It is estimated that his disappearance will not be confirmed until a few days later. In the first two or three days, the family will just search everywhere, making various guesses, but it cannot be confirmed as a missing case.
Sure enough, the following few days were relatively quiet. During this period, only Wang Zhuoqing, the right minister of the Ministry of War, visited Luo Chong once in private and revealed a little bit: The emperor deliberately suppressed your request for merit and has not approved it. I guess he wants to see what you do next. Performance, after all, the threat to the capital from the Qingyuan Cavalry has not been eliminated yet.
??This means that if the Qingyuan cavalry really comes to the capital, regardless of whether it is a siege or a deterrent, as long as Luo Chong can perform better, all the credit can be accumulated together and rewarded at once. In that case, there would be no problem with the official position of a third-grade general.
Luo Chong¡¯s attitude was of course indifferent. It didn¡¯t matter how old the official was. He just regarded the capital of the Jin Dynasty as a game ground.
On the morning of this day, someone from Shuntian Prefecture came and said that the prefect Wang asked General Luo to go there. There was a very important disappearance case that required Luo Chong to cooperate in the investigation.
There is no doubt that Luo Chong has been suspected of the disappearance of the second son of the Minister of Household Affairs.
"This is normal. Don't treat others as fools. Those who are responsible for investigating cases do this kind of thing all day long. The key is to see whether they take it seriously.
¡°When they encounter a really big and important case, their minds are very good.
It is actually not difficult to doubt this matter. The second son-in-law had just been proposed by the emperor to marry, and was expected to become the eldest princess's consort, and then he disappeared.
The eldest princess has resisted marriage again and again. Everyone in the court knows that Queen Yu used to protect her, and she could just find someone to understand her and get over it. But now it is no longer possible. The emperor will not continue to accommodate her. With the imperial edict, You have to be willing even if you don't want to, and the same goes for your own daughter.
Princess Yongning has no other options, so there is only one way left: let the prospective consort disappear from the head office. How can we get married if the groom is gone?
Although Princess Yongning doesn¡¯t have this ability herself, she can instruct others to do it. For example, Luo Dong, who escorted her back to the capital safely not long ago.
?? Luo Dong, who defeated Qingyuan Kingdom¡¯s Grandmaster Lian Shan on Xifeng Lake a few days ago, is indeed capable of this in terms of martial arts cultivation
With this inference, it is not surprising that suspicion has been raised on Luo Chong, but there is no evidence for the time being. Of course, with Luo Chong's incredible special ability, it is impossible for mortals in this world to find any effective evidence.
"Shuntian Mansion?"
Luo Chong is not going to resist. Cooperating with the investigation is the responsibility and obligation of every citizen, so just go ahead.
The prefect of Shuntian Prefecture is equivalent to the mayor of the capital of the world on Earth. His rank is the third level, which is a whole level higher than the ordinary prefect.
Luo Chong is currently only in the fourth rank, and he is only a local official. Of course, Shuntian Mansion can still invite him.
Luo Chong went with only the White Tiger guards and a few soldiers, but when they arrived at the Shuntian Mansion Yamen, they could only wait outside. Luo Chong himself was also asked to ask the general to remove his weapons.
The meeting place was not in the lobby of the yamen, which did not count as a formal interrogation, but in a side hall. The prefect Wang was accompanied by the judge and the judge. These two were responsible for investigating the case, and there was another one who was not wearing official uniform. The middle-aged man, after introduction, learned that he was the younger brother of Shangshu of the Ministry of Finance. He had been living in Shuntian Mansion these days and was always paying attention to the progress of the case.
We no longer need to talk about the official meeting etiquette. After sitting down, we will not say a few insignificant opening remarks and go directly to the main topic.
"General Luo, the second son of Mr. Yuan, the Minister of Household Affairs, disappeared five nights ago. Do you know about this?"
When Magistrate Wang was questioning him, they all paid close attention to the changes in Luo Chong's demeanor. If there was any abnormality, it would increase his suspicion.
"have no idea."
Luo Chong looked indifferent: "I don't even know this person, what does his matter have to do with me?"
"The problem now is"
Prefect Wang lowered his voice and strengthened his momentum with a deep tone: "Someone has seen it,One night, you appeared near Mr. Yuan's residence. General Luo needs to explain this issue carefully. "
Bluffing?
As the saying goes, a thief has a guilty conscience. If it were an ordinary person, I'm afraid they would have a little doubt: There were indeed omissions in my whereabouts. Was it seen by an eyewitness?
Luo Chong would not have such worries, unless the witness was also a Chaos powerhouse.
"Master Wang, don't do this with me."
Luo Chong deliberately showed a certain degree of anger: "In the past few nights, I haven't gone out at all. If anyone sees me appearing elsewhere, I will just gouge out his eyes!"
For a military general, such a speech attitude is normal. Anyway, in the eyes of civil servants, vulgar and despicable warriors almost all have this kind of virtue.
"General Luo, don't get excited."
Prefect Wang softened his tone slightly: "You said you haven't gone out in the past few nights. So, where did you live when you came to the capital? How far is it from the residence of Mr. Yuan, the Minister of the Ministry of Revenue?"
"How do I know where Master Yuan's family is? I've never been there!"
Luo Chong waved his hand impatiently: "I have no contact with the Ministry of Household Affairs. Until now, I have never received a single copper from the Ministry of Household Affairs. The whereabouts of his second son are unknown. I can only say that he has done too many immoral things." Too much, too much debt.¡±
"you!"
Of course, Mr. Yuan Erye, the younger brother of the Secretary of the Ministry of Finance, couldn't sit still. He was about to have a fit, but his sleeve was pulled by the general magistrate beside him, which temporarily suppressed his anger.
Magistrate Wang felt very calm and asked again: "General Luo, as far as I know, you are now living in His Highness Yongning's house on Yuhua Street, right?"
"That's right." Luo Chong nodded.
"That's right."
The prefect Wang arrived again: "At noon on the day Mr. Yuan disappeared, His Highness Yongning went to the house to see you. Then, that night, something happened to Mr. Yuan. What kind of connection does this have? General Luo, I still need to know more about it. Is it clear?"
"Let's be clear, just be clear."
Luo Chong waved: "Now that I'm here, I have enough patience to listen to your chatter."
"It's you!"
Second Master Yuan couldn't bear it any longer. He slammed the table and shouted loudly: "It's you who did it. Where did you take my second nephew? Is he dead or alive now?"
Of course, his anger and excitement were probably fake, and the fundamental purpose was to test Luo Chong's reaction.
In the absence of evidence, at least the person with the greatest suspicion must be identified first, and there will be clearer clues to find evidence.
Or, by following the suspect¡¯s line directly, you can find the missing person. After all, solving crimes is secondary and saving people is primary.
"Wronged me?"
Luo Chong, however, did not control his anger with anger, but looked at him with a sinister look: "Believe it or not, I will find a chance to slap you to death?"
The implication is: If I have the ability to kidnap your nephew, I have the ability to break into your house in the middle of the night and kill you old boy.
Mr. Yuan shrank his neck and suddenly lost his arrogance. After all, he already knew that Luo Chong was highly skilled in martial arts and could defeat Lianshan Mountain of Qingyuan Kingdom head-on. At the very least, he was also a master-level super warrior.
¡°No one like them, scholars, is afraid of talking nonsense, but if violence is used, no one can care about the death threat issued by a strong master.
He cares more about his own life than his nephew's life.
"General Luo, don't forget, you are an official of the imperial court, not a gangster!"
The prefect Wang scolded him righteously: "This is business now, and we need you to fully cooperate with our investigation. If you have such an unreasonable attitude, I will go to the court and directly intervene with you in front of His Majesty early tomorrow morning!"
"Okay, okay, I am indeed a little excited."
Luo Chong grinned, spread his hands, and pointed at Mr. Yuan again: "But this old boy is the one who provoked me! I am a martial artist, and I don't have as much self-cultivation as you civil servants. Who dares to accuse me unjustly? The first thing that flashed through my mind The idea is to kill him. Mr. Wang, you are not a military commander, don¡¯t you understand?¡±
¡°Hmph!¡±
The prefect Wang sneered lightly and said to himself that I have dealt with many military generals, but I have never seen you so arrogant.
Although Luo Chong was only a fourth-grade military general and a local from a remote area, with Her Royal Highness standing behind him, the prefect Wang still had some scruples in his heart.
As an official, the last thing you want to face is this kind of thing. You will offend people on both sides. If you fail to handle the case well, you will offend the Minister of the Ministry of Revenue. If you really solve the case, you will offend the eldest princess.
What can I do?
From his point of view, he can only be as diplomatic as possible based on the general principle of business affairs, and try not to offend Princess Yongning to death.
The best situation is: solve the case as soon as possible and rescue Mr. Yuan intact. Mr. Yuan, the Minister of Household Affairs, will definitely take the initiative to put an end to the matter, and the emperor will not punish Yong Ning mercilessly. In the end, maybe they might not have met each other without fighting, which led to this marriage and left a good story.
But looking at it now, this Luo Dong is more arrogant and domineering than imagined. He has soldiers under his command, is very good at fighting, and he is a strong master. Such a character is indeed more difficult to deal with than imagined.
The prefect Wang even thought about it. If he was forced to have no way out, he would go to Mr. Yuan's house in the dark at night to kill a few more people, and then fly away, wander the world as a master warrior, and even go to other countries He had to do this. Who can stop it?
It¡¯s difficult!
Even if you knew it was him who did it, what could you do to him?
