After Fang Congzhe and Fang An left, Guo Lai spread the silk cloth and studied it carefully. After reading it for nearly half an hour, Guo Lai studied this military defense map thoroughly. Although Guo Lai had already kept the military defense map in mind, he did not destroy the silk cloth as Fang Congzhe said. He looked at the other person beside him, and then slowly took off his pants.

In the morgue of Shuntian Mansion, the prefect Yao Shun lifted the white cloth covered with wounds one by one, and then waved his hand in disgust to dispel the smell coming from front of him. After seeing all four corpses, Yao Shun could not see anything from it. He said to the coroner who was standing not far away: How is the body checked? Have you found anything?

When the coroner heard the question from the prefect, he quickly replied: The four corpses were tested one by one, one by one, one died of a piercing injury, and the chest was penetrated by crossbow arrows at close range. The second one had scars on his body, but they were not fatal. The only fatal thing was the sword wound on his neck. The man died of a sharp sword and his throat was cut off by a sharp sword. The third corpse was quite special, with two fatal injuries on his body, one was out of the back of the head, and the skull of the back of the head was completely sunk in, and the other was the knife wound on his neck. The last corpse was cut by a quick knife and died. These people should have been killed by the British Duke and the young master.

Yao Shun heard the coroner analyze it for a long time and thought he could analyze some clues, but unexpectedly said such a result. He couldn't help but roll his eyes at the coroner and said: You need to say this? In addition to these assassins, there are two British prince and son. Can you still kill them if you don't kill them? I'm asking if you can tell the origin of these assassins.

The coroner said: "Sir, it turns out that the adult was asking this?" The villain thought he had seen it a long time ago, so he didn't say it.

Yao Shun stopped talking when he heard this. Since the coroner said so, it was obvious that the clues that the origin of these people were very obvious. He just didn't look at the corpses carefully because of his disgust. He said too much at this time, probably exposing his own incompetence.

The coroner continued: These should be Jurchens, and people in Jianzhou generally have this kind of hairstyle that shaves hair and braids.

Ke Beidao, the promotor who followed Yao Shun, could not make a conclusion so early. In addition to the Jurchens, some people in Liaodong also have this kind of hair style of money rat tail.

Yao Shun echoed: What Officer Ke Tui said is exactly, I think so, so I asked you if you can see the clues of the origin of these people from other clues.

The coroner thought for a moment and shook his head blankly and said: In addition to these, there are calluses on these people's fingers and scratches on the inner thighs. It is obvious that they are riding horses and shooting archery all year round. However, if the soldiers from Liaodong also have these conditions, relying on these clues, the villain still cannot distinguish whether these people are Ming people from Liaodong or Jurchen people from Jianzhou.

This made Yao Shun feel very embarrassed. This matter involved the Duke's Mansion, and the entire capital was coming to inquire about the progress of the case from time to time. If it could not be found out, it would be a great damage to his reputation.

So Yao Shun looked at Ke Beidao: What do you think of this?

Ke Bei shook his head first and said: The officials could not tell whether these four people were Jurchens or Liaodong's out-of-represented military households. And both Liaodong military households and Jurchens said that they were the past. Lord Yao still remembers Liu Cheng who died on the day of the martial arts exercise in the Beijing camp? That man once served as the general of Qianzong in Liaodong, and later transferred to the Beijing camp as a lieutenant general. Liu Cheng has a high prestige in Liaodong. His words are that the British Duke is in charge of the Beijing camp, which is a very big threat to the Jurchens. It is reasonable to say that it is the Jurchens assassination.

Yao Shundao: Isn’t it equivalent to not saying this? I know that it is possible.

Ke Bei chuckled and said: Although the servants don’t know who these assassins are, there is a way to escape from Lord Yao. Is Lord Yao willing to listen?

When Yao Shun heard Ke Bei's words, his eyes lit up and said: Is there any good way, tell me quickly.

Official Ke Tui said: Although our Shuntian Prefecture is in charge of the public security and criminal name of the Jingying camp, there are three departments, and there are Jinyiwei in front of the East Factory and the Jinyiwei behind it. This case involves Duke Guo, which is not something our small Shuntian Prefecture can manage. But if it is just like this, it would be fine. Even if Lord Yao handed over the case to the Third Division in the end, he would still be returned in the end. However, except for the Duke Guo, with one more thing, the case will not be returned, and naturally someone will take over it for the adults.

Yao Shun asked in confusion: What else is there except for the Duke involved in the affairs?

Mr. Ke said mysteriously: Since Lord Yao was at the Beijing Camp on the day of martial arts performance, I think he must have known the whole story of the firearms smuggling in the Beijing Camp?

The official will know this naturally, but what does this matter have to do with this case?

Why did the British Duke basically not be severely punished for the smuggling of firearms in Beijing? Even if he lost a large number of firearms, the prince would still protect him everywhere? In addition to the fact that most of the firearms can be recovered and grateful to the Duke of the country, the hidden works of Jianzhou in the capital were basically beaten up.

Yao Shun understood a little, and he asked uncertainly: What do you mean

Ke Tui whispered: Since it is impossible to tell whether it is a Liaodong or a Jurchen, the Lord will report them as Jurchens. Anyway, these are four corpses and will not sit up and confront the prefect. As long as the Jurchens are involved, the Ministry of Justice will not attack the case back to Shuntian Mansion. Either the Ministry of Justice will accept it personally or transfer it to the Jinyiwei. However, it is more likely to hand it over to the Jinyiwei. The Jurchens who were arrested before are still in the imperial prison at this time. I think the Beizhen Mansion Office should have received the confession. As long as the arrested Jurchens identify these corpses, the identities of these people can be basically confirmed. If these assassins are really Jurchens, Lord Yao can also get some credit from it. If they are not Jurchens, Lord Yao will not be punished for making a wrong judgment.

After hearing this, Yao Shun clapped his hands and said: It's amazing, if it's just an ordinary criminal case, I should have investigated it, but if it involves the Jurchens' detailed case, it's not within the scope of my authority. I will deal with it now.

After saying that, Yao Shun hurried out of the morgue and went to write a poem.

On the attic of the east wing of Fang Mansion, Guo Lai wrapped the silk cloth with military defense maps on his thighs, then tied it up with a strip of cloth, and made these things, Guo Lai put on his pants and tidyed his clothes.

The other Jurchen man watched Guo Lai finish all this, and then said: Deputy Chief, this silk cloth is very important to us. I might as well do it alone tomorrow. You can leave the capital with this military defense map first.

Guo Lai shook his head and said: It is difficult for you to complete this matter alone, just install gunpowder. If no one helps you cover it, it will be easy to expose your strength. Tonight we will go to the Chengdong Temple Fair first. Once you use gunpowder, as long as you plan well, it will not be a problem for us to escape.

Seeing that Guo Lai could not convince him, the Jurchen stopped persuading him. The two of them planned again, until it was completely dark, Guo Lai left the attic with muskets and gunpowder on their backs.

At first, Fang An prepared six muskets for them, but now only two of them are left, so there are no more muskets.

As expected, the two of them tied the jar of gunpowder with a rope and carried it on their backs. The other wrapped two muskets with the white tiger skin left by Fang An. The rope was wrapped around the outside and carried it behind them. The remaining four muskets were thrown into the red sandalwood box by them.

If Lai first went to find Fang Congzhe and asked him to send someone to prepare a carriage for them. Otherwise, if he walked out in such a strange look, he would probably be arrested by the soldiers of the Five City Military Police who were patrolling the city.

Fang Congzhe asked Fang An to find his carriage. When the night was nowhere to be noticed, the two got into the carriage from the back door of Fang's mansion, and Fang An escorted the two out of the city.

Recently, because of the assassination of the British Duke, the soldiers and soldiers of the five cities in the capital have stepped up patrols. From time to time, patrol guards holding spears can be seen passing by on many streets. Without Fang An's escort, it would be difficult for Lai and the other two to leave the city easily.

Fang Congzhe's carriage had a small square character hanging on it, so many people knew that the carriage was the carriage of the current chief minister, and the person who drove the carriage was the manager of the Fang Mansion. So many people took it for granted that the carriage was naturally the head assistant of the current chief minister.

Fang An drove the carriage slowly towards the east gate. Occasionally, those who knew Fang An would exchange greetings from a distance, but none of them dared to check the carriage.

Until he was about to leave Qihua Gate, Fang An accidentally met the city inspector Xue Zhen. This city inspector Xue Zhen, the city inspector, was the North City inspector that Fang Shihong and a group of scoundrels had encountered that day when Furong killed that day.

If it weren't for Fang Shihong, the inspector of the city, Lord Xue Zhen, should have been promoted to the sixth rank of the inspector of the sixth rank. However, because Xue Zhen asked someone to take Fang Shihong and report the facts about how Fang Shihong killed Furong, the result of the trial of the three departments was very different from the one reported by Xue Zhen. Because Xue Zhen participated in the report of the chief minister's son, the inspector's court and Fang Congzhe had a good relationship with the assistant censor, and put aside the matter of being promoted to the inspector on the grounds that Xue Zhen's report was false.

However, Xue Zhen was quite upright. Although he was a seventh-rank sesame and mung bean official, the matter of the report was very different from the trial results. Because he remembered what he said to Zhang Zhiji that day, he promised not to let the girl die in vain. Even though the three officials decided the case, he still squatted at the door of Dali Temple all day long to avenge Furong.

The officials of the three departments all knew the way of this case. Although the officials who were the presiding over the Fang Shihong case were not a few levels higher than Xue Zhen, they saw a seventh-rank official blocking them there every day, and none of these people avoided them.

After waiting outside the Dali Temple for a day but failed, Xue Zhen cursed Fang Shihong and a fool at the entrance of the Ministry of Justice Prison. Because he was just about to catch up with Fang An to go to the Ministry of Justice Prison Prison, Fang An quarreled with Xue Zhen for a few words. The two of them knew each other and had a bond.

When Fang An saw Xue Zhen in front of him, he felt a sudden slap in his heart and said, "I'm not good."

Xue Zhen also lived up to Fang An's expectations and rushed towards Fang An with a few soldiers patrolling the city.

Before he got close to Xue Zhen's ridicule, he heard it. Oh, isn't this Fang An, the chief manager of the Fang Mansion? Why didn't he be a coachman instead?
