Chapter 105 rush to close the case

Shen Kuo organized a language, and then said carefully, "The footprints outside the fence are very messy. Obviously, the firefighters destroyed the arson scene. Therefore, there is no useful clue to the arson case at present. As for the reason why the King of Jin went to the prison of the Governor's Yamen, according to the old minister's understanding, several adults who were present that night were invited by the King of Jin to witness at the Governor's Yamen. " "Witness what?" Shen Kuo handed over and said, "Lord Qian and Lord Zhu are lurking in the dark according to the orders of the King of Jin. In the middle of the night, they found that someone sneaked into the prison in an attempt to kill a prisoner, and they caught him on the spot. What is striking is that the murderer was actually Ye Maoyang, the Duke of Qing." Yu Wang stunned, "Adults mean that the Duke of Qing came to the governor's yamen prison to kill a prisoner. This is too strange. The Duke of Qing has suffered a stroke and cannot speak. Shen Da said so, which is a bit unkind." "Everyone agrees and there can be no mistake." Shen Kuo said with great certainty. "Qing Guogong appeared in the governor's prison, the old minister analyzed a variety of reasons, only this one, is a more reasonable explanation," "It's just an explanation. It's hard to say whether it's reasonable." See Shen Kuo always can't keep up with their own thinking, Yu Wang nose suddenly cold snort. "Killing a person requires motive and purpose. What basis do you have to explain that Qing Guogong went to the governor's prison to kill a prisoner in the middle of the night?" "There are many witnesses on the spot. These people can testify. Isn't that enough?" "Who is the prisoner's last name, where is he from, why did he go to prison, and what is the grudge between him and Qing Guogong? Do you know all this?" Shen Kuo was one-track-minded and did not recognize the implication of Yu Wang. Instead, he continued to speak according to his own thinking. "The prisoner's name is Tiezhu, which was discovered by the governor's yamen the night before from outside Qingguo Gongfu, when he had just climbed out of the wall from Qingguo Gongfu. According to his confession, he is a domestic servant of Guogong Mansion. Moreover, he confessed a shocking fact that the child in Miss Ye Xi's belly of Guogong Mansion is his." The king of Yu seemed very surprised. "The child in Miss Ye Xi's belly belongs to the king of Jin. This matter has long been decided. The father is ready to issue a decree to designate Miss Ye Xi as the princess of the king of Jin. What does this call Tiezhu jump out at this time? If you give this person to Yu Wangfu, the king will personally interrogate him." Shen Kuo was somewhat depressed. "The old minister was also looking for this person. After the fire was put out that night, when the governor counted the number of people, he found that the prisoner named Tiezhu had magically disappeared." Yu Wang breathed a sigh of relief. As long as the iron column is not in Shen Kuo's hands, there is room for manoeuvre. "The governor's prison is heavily guarded. How did he escape?" Shen Kuo did not answer his question, but continued, "The old minister found a pool of blood in the prison, and searched all the people present, but found no injured people. The old minister boldly guessed that the blood was made of iron, but if the blood was made of iron pillars, it was obviously badly hurt. How did he escape the blockade of the governor's prison as a seriously injured person? " Seeing that Shen Kuo was talking more and more vigorously, Yu Wang finally lost his temper. "This pool of blood does not explain any problem, Shen Da, in your opinion, how should this case be closed?" "Close the case?" Shen Kuo was very surprised. "Prince, there are many doubts about this case. For example, how did the Duke of Qing enter the prison, why did he kill the iron pillar, where is the iron pillar now, who is the arsonist, and what is his purpose? These questions cannot be answered. How to close the case?" "According to the existing clues, this case can be completely closed." The king of Yu seemed to have answers. "Adults have found that the Duke of Qing, the King of Jin and the Iron Pillar, these three seemingly unrelated people, have a common contact, Miss Ye Xi. The Duke of Qing is Miss Ye Xi's father, the King of Jin is Miss Ye Xi's fiancee, and Tiezhu finally jumped out and recognized himself as the father of Ye Xi's child." Shen Kuo nodded. "The prince analyzed it well, and it is true." Yu Wang laughed: "Have Shen Da seen Miss Ye Xi?" Shen Kuo laughed: "The old minister is a mess in Charlie. How can he have seen the young lady of the Guogongfu?" "Shen Da has never seen it, but I have always heard of Miss Guogongfu." Shen Kuo is a gentleman, unwilling to talk about people behind their backs, let alone a young lady who is waiting for words. "This Miss Ye Xi has nothing to do with what we are discussing today. Let's go back to the case." "Shen Da's statement is also poor. The key node of this case is actually this Miss Ye Xi." Shen Kuo bowed his hand and said, "The prince has a high opinion, and the old minister would like to hear the details." Encouraged, Yu Wang explained, "The Duke of the State is an old woman, and she dotes on this Miss Ye Xi very much. Afraid that the daughter would be wronged in her husband's family, she threatened to recruit her son-in-law. In the long run, the young lady became an old girl. The twenty-year-old lady has a round waist and thick arms, and a fat body. And this young lady has a violent temper, vulgar language, and extremely uneducated... and so on. " Shen Kuo said carefully, "If you want to express what you mean, you may as well say it directly." Yu Wang straightened up and straightened up. "In fact, the case is already very obvious. The King of Jin abandoned Miss Ye Xi and refused to marry her into the government. Therefore, he arranged for a prisoner in the governor's yamen, Tiezhu, to come forward and consider himself the father of the child in Miss Ye Xi's belly. After he sent several adults to testify for him in prison, he was afraid that the iron pillar would go back on its word afterwards, so he sent someone to set fire to burn the iron pillar. " "There is a question. Since Miss Ye Xi is so respectful, how can the King of Jin sleep with her and be pregnant with a child?" Yu Wang made a mysterious expression, "Shen Da forgot where the new moon monarch and my 13th brother's child came from." Shen Kuo said in his heart that Shangguan Yue looks like a fairy, and a man would like it. Is it comparable to Ye Xi? But he said, "But everyone said that in front of everyone in prison, the Duke of Qing admitted that the man named Tiezhu was the father of the child in his daughter's belly, and promised to let her marry Tiezhu." "These people you are looking for are all from the King of Jin. Such witness testimony cannot be used as the basis for adjudicating the case." "Your Majesty!" I can see that Shen Kuo is trying to contain his temper. "Although there is some truth in the sovereign's inference, it still needs evidence to prove it. Fortunately, the Duke of Qing has woken up. Although his speech is still unclear, with the medical skill of the new moon monarch, the Duke of Qing will soon be able to tell the truth of the case." Yu Wang was impatient. "My father asked to solve the case within a time limit. It has been three days since the incident. We can't come up with a conclusion and how to explain it to my father." "What the emperor needs is the truth of the matter. The old minister thinks that the case is full of doubts and it is not yet time to close the case." Shen Kuo also wants to argue. Yu Zi has completely lost patience. "There is no need to investigate this case again. Just as Ben Wang said just now, you will draw up a throne and report it to your father immediately." Shen Kuo said coldly, "I forgive the old minister for not being able to obey this matter. If the emperor blames him, the old minister is willing to take the crime."
