The man opposite wanted to sue Shen Liangqiu. Everyone was stunned and looked at Shen Liangqiu.
Shen Liangqiu was also a little surprised. His face was gloomy. Just as he was about to speak, Qi Ning already said loudly: "You are so bold. General Shen is an upright man and has good military training. He is a general of the imperial court. How can I allow you to slander me here?" Shen Liangqiu is also a little surprised. He said in a voice: "General Shen, I think this person is here specifically to cause trouble. Don't let him delay the important affairs of the Governor. How do you think we should deal with it?"
"Master Marquis, this person has violated the military law by trespassing into the forbidden area. I think that he needs to follow the military law." Shen Liangqiu said immediately, raised his hand, but before giving the order, Xin Ci said: "Wait a minute!"
Shen Liangqiu was startled, Qining looked at Xin Ci and asked, "General Xin, what are you doing?"
"Master Marquis, these people came by boat and even sued General Shen. They are so audacious." He was instigating and deliberately sabotaging the funeral of the Grand Governor. I think this must be investigated clearly."
Chen Ting also said with a hint of annoyance: "Master Hou, what General Xin said is absolutely true. We must ask clearly what these people want."
Shen Liangqiu hurriedly said: "Master Marquis, as a humble general, in order to avoid delaying the funeral of the Governor, we will detain these people first. After the funeral of the Governor, it will not be too late for us to interrogate them again." After looking at it, Tian Se, said: "The time is approaching, it really is not appropriate to delay it any longer."
Qi Ning nodded slightly, raised his voice and said to the other side: "You are suing General Shen. I will accept the case tomorrow. Please step aside today."
"Master Marquis, the common people said that Shen Liangqiu will destroy his body today. After an hour, if the common people want to sue him again, there will be no evidence." The voice on the other side said: "What the common people are suing is of great importance, even It involves the safety of Da Chu, and I beg the Marquis to hear the matter immediately."
"Destroy corpses and eliminate traces?" Qi Ning frowned and said, "What do you mean by that? Destroy corpses and eliminate traces?" His voice was cold: "What do you mean when you say that General Shen will repay kindness with enmity?"
The man said loudly: "Master Hou, ordinary people can prove that the Governor of Tantai was killed by Shen Liangqiu, the deputy general of the Donghai Navy!"
The man's breath was strong and his voice was loud. Chen Ting and many other officials were shocked when he heard the news. Qi Ning also changed his face and said coldly: "You know, deliberate slander will be punished with an additional penalty!"
Shen Liangqiu's face was livid at this time, his hands were clenched into fists, and his eyes were staring at the opposite side like knives.
"Of course the common people know." The other person responded: "Shen Liangqiu is a general of the imperial court. If he falsely accuses a general of the imperial court, it will of course be an unpardonable crime!"
Qi Ning snorted coldly and said: "It's good that you know." He looked at Shen Liangqiu and frowned: "General Shen, he actually said that the Governor was harmed by you. What do you want to say?"
Shen Liangqiu suddenly laughed loudly and said: "Master Hou, I have received great kindness from the Tantai family, and I feel like brothers with the Grand Governor. If possible, I can even die in place of the Grand Governor, but now some people say that I will I killed the governor, hahaha, I think this matter needs no explanation."
Chen Ting also said from the side: "Master Marquis, this must be a slander against General Shen. The friendship between General Shen and the Governor is very clear to me. The death of the Governor has absolutely nothing to do with General Shen."
"I believe that General Shen is innocent." Qi Ning nodded slightly, pondered for a moment, and said, "Let that person come over."
At that moment, someone put down the boat, approached the boat, picked up the big man who was talking, and then took him to the warship. As soon as the man got on the boat, Shen Liangqiu glanced over, and immediately there were three or four brave men. The sailors rushed forward, but the man did not resist and allowed the sailors to tie him up, and then was pushed over.
Shen Liangqiu's eyes were like daggers, staring at the man up and down. Qi Ning put his hands behind his back, glanced at the man, and said coldly: "You said that the Governor was killed by General Shen, but do you know that after investigation by the officials of the Ministry of Punishments, At the scene, it has been determined that the Governor committed suicide. There is absolutely no chance that anyone will commit murder at the scene." He glanced at Shen Liangqiu and said in a cold voice: "You slandered General Shen, but you were instigated by someone else? What if you can actually recruit him now? , I may be able to give you a lighter punishment, otherwise if you slander the general of the imperial court, I will not tolerate you."
The man raised his head and said, "How does the Marquis know that the Governor committed suicide?"
Chen Ting frowned and said to the side: "The scene of the death of the Governor was carefully investigated by the officials of the Ministry of Punishment. Lord Marquis was also at the scene at the time. After careful inspection, it was finally determined that the Governor committed suicide." Then he sneered and said: "What happened to these things? Why do I need to tell you."
But the man smiled coldly and said: "Since the common people have come to ask Master Hou to make the decision, they naturally know the situation at the scene of the incident." He glanced at Shen Liangqiu and said calmly: "When the body was found, the scene was indeed The doors and windows were closed, and the people inside seemed to have no clue that anyone else was involved in the murder other than committing suicide."
"Since you know this truth, why are you still talking nonsense here?" Chen Ting said angrily: "Yes, who are you?"
"It doesn't matter who the common people are. Once the common people explain the facts clearly, it will be up to the Marquis to do whatever he wants." The man's face did not change, he looked at Qining and said: "Master Hou, the common people dare to ask. At that time, the Governor's Office discovered that the first time Is the body found really the Grand Governor himself?"
As soon as these words came out, everyone present looked astonished, and the corners of Shen Liangqiu's eyes changed color slightly.
"What do you mean?" Qi Ning also frowned and said: "On the night of the incident, the Governor Hou of the Governor's Mansion went to ask the Governor to rest, but the Governor never opened the door, so Governor Hou invited his wife to come, and he followed There were several people there, and when they entered the house, they saw the governor hanging himself from the beam, how can that be false?"
"Master Marquis, if it was really the Governor who hung the beam at that time, the common people are also convinced that the Governor did commit suicide and passed away." The man's eyes were sharp and he said slowly: "After all, the common people also know that the doors and windows in that house were closed from the inside at that time. If someone kills the governor, how can he close the doors and windows from the inside after leaving?"
Chen Ting frowned and said, "Who are you? Why do you know so much about the scene?"
The man ignored Chen Ting, but Qi Ning frowned and said, "What do you mean by that?"
"Master Marquis, the common people know that the corpse found when they broke into the door was not the Grand Governor." The man said with a stern expression: "It was just someone pretending to be the Grand Governor, so they created a maze, because in that way, everyone would think that It seems that the governor was the one who hung the beam, and in such a scene, no one would doubt that the governor was harmed."
At this time, there was a buzz of discussion all around, and all the officials were extremely surprised.
Shen Liangqiu sneered: "You said it was not the Governor who committed suicide by hanging from the beam? Manager Hou informed me overnight, and I rushed to the Governor's Mansion and personally removed the Governor from the beam. Manager Hou, his wife and many people in the mansion were there At the scene, they also saw me carrying the Governor down with their own eyes. They are very familiar with the Governor. If it was not the Governor who hung the beam, would everyone admit their mistake? "
"Of course the one General Shen relieved was the Commander-in-Chief." The man didn't even look at Shen Liangqiu, but looked at Qi Ning.
"Wait a minute, wait a minute." Chen Ting frowned and said, "What you are saying is confusing and sheer nonsense. Just now you said that it was not the Grand Governor who committed suicide by hanging from a beam, and now you are saying that General Shen committed suicide by hanging from a beam but the Grand Governor. This is inconsistent. Do you know that you What are you talking about?"
The man glanced at Chen Ting and said: "Mr. Chen, don't you still understand what the common people say? The corpse discovered earlier was indeed not the Grand Governor, but after General Shen arrived, the corpse was indeed the Grand Governor. After all, There was a gap of more than an hour between when General Manager Hou left the Governor's Mansion and when he invited General Shen back from the camp, and someone made a fuss about the corpse."
There was another commotion all around.
Qi Ning raised his hand to signal everyone to calm down, and glanced at Shen Liangqiu vaguely. He saw that Shen Liangqiu's face was livid, and his hands were clenched into fists. He looked stern, but his fisted hands were obviously shaking slightly. Jitter.
"Are you saying that someone is substituting something for someone else?"
The man shook his head and said: "Master Hou, actually it should be called stealing a pillar to replace a beam." After a pause, he said: "Actually, the corpse that Mr. Hou and the others discovered for the first time was someone else, or in other words, they What was found was not a body at all.”
"Not a corpse?"
"Someone deliberately closed the doors and windows and created a secret room." The man said: "When Mrs. Tantai brought someone over, the man immediately hung up the beam, and he deliberately disguised himself as the governor and put on the governor's clothes. , when the beam was hung, the bun must have fallen down, and the lights were dim at night. When the people in the mansion saw the governor hanging himself from the beam, they must have been in a panic. No one would seriously check the true identity of the person who hung the beam. His face is all part of that person’s calculations, and he knows he can get away with it.”
"Are you saying that someone pretended to be a governor and then hung himself from a beam?" Chen Ting said with a disdainful smile: "Is that to put on a show with his own life for everyone to see?"
"Lord Chen is exaggerating." The man shook his head and said, "Lord Chen doesn't know something. There is a skill that is widely circulated in the world. It can block the breath of people. Some people can even block their breath within half a stick of incense, but it is definitely not died."
Qi Ning said: "Are you saying that there is someone who is good at the Qigong you mentioned, and then pretends to be the governor and hangs himself from a beam? In fact, he will not die, but he is just acting for everyone to see?"
"This is exactly what the grassroots meant." The man nodded and said: "Autistic aura, pretending to be a hanging beam, of course you don't need another murderer, he himself is the murderer of the layout."
"If this is the case, then how could it be that the one who was relieved by General Shen was the Grand Governor?"
The man said: "After Chief Hou leaves, there will be time for the murderer to take off the noose on his own, and then hang the body of the Grand Governor. When someone comes again, of course he will become the Grand Governor."
"It was found that the Governor had committed suicide by hanging from a beam. Someone must have stayed at the scene. How could that person have the chance to replace the Governor's body with his body?" Chen Ting sneered, "Isn't he afraid of being seen?"
The man said: "If someone helps cover it up and ward off other people, then this matter can be done easily."
