第一百二十九章 严旨追凶(2 / 2)

大明王侯 贼眉鼠眼 0 字 2021-04-20

现在最大的问题是:上哪儿找凶手呢?老朱限他五曰内破案,意思就是说,萧凡必须在五曰内找出凶手,换而言之,萧凡要在五曰内找到一只替罪羊,代他承担揍伤耿璿的罪名。</p>

这只羊……很不好找啊。</p>

回了锦衣卫镇抚司衙门,萧凡叫来了曹毅。</p>

“曹大哥,跟我走一趟。”</p>

“大人去哪?”</p>

“去长兴侯府上,咱们要查案,把打伤耿璿的凶手查出来!”萧凡一脸正义道。</p>

曹毅神色顿时变得古怪无比,同时心中暗暗敬佩。</p>

萧老弟官运亨通,扶摇直上,一个人的成功总是有一定道理的。就凭萧凡这演技,这表情,这脸皮……不升官儿简直没天理了。</p>

“曹大哥,咱们这是去捉凶手,不是去捉歼,你的表情能不能正常一点?”萧凡面色不改,若无其事的道。</p>

曹毅左右看了一圈,见四下无人,不由低声讷讷道:“大人,可是,可是……真正的凶手……”</p>

萧凡立马接过他的话头,凛然道:“没错!真正的凶手是要查的!没有调查就没有发言权,所以,咱们必须去长兴侯府上查个究竟,看看是谁狗胆包天,居然敢打伤长兴侯之子,破坏耿璿与江都郡主的美满姻缘……”</p>

曹毅目瞪口呆的瞧着萧凡大义凛然的模样,心中不由佩服得五体投地。——这得需要多厚的脸皮才发得出如此正义得无耻的声音?</p>

萧凡神色肃穆道:“曹大哥,既食君禄,当为君分忧,陛下严旨查办此案,你我当尽心竭力办好它,一定要抓住那个打人行凶的凶手,朗朗乾坤,天子脚下,没王法了还……”</p>

曹毅张了半天嘴,直楞着两眼,过了半晌,才叹息道:“实在没想到大人竟是如此充满了正义感的人,搁了以前在江浦县你是陈家女婿时,我若了解你的为人,你肯定来不了京师,更当不了官儿……”</p>

“为什么?”</p>

“你肯定被我揍死了。”</p>

长兴侯府位于西城,占地颇广,朱元璋为了向天下人表示他并非是残忍杀戮开国功臣的冷血皇帝,特意赐给长兴侯耿炳文一座大宅府,以示圣恩。</p>

只不过天下人都清楚,所谓的开国功臣,被诛杀的,已病死的,如今活下来的也只有耿炳文这么一位了,这样的硕果仅存怎么看都充满了一股讽刺意味。</p>

当然,长兴侯耿炳文心里更清楚,他之所以能逃过朱元璋的屠刀,是因为他相对平庸的军事才能,擅长攻城掠地的武将们都被朱元璋寻了个由头诛杀了,幸好耿炳文在战场上并非以进攻见长,他只善于防守。</p>

一个军事上只会防御的武将,是不会对统治者构成威胁的。</p>

所以耿炳文活下来了,而且活得很不错,朱元璋既然不杀他,当然要对其恩宠倍加,以示天子并非刻薄寡恩的残酷暴君,耿炳文活下来的意义更大程度上,相当于向天下人昭示天子恩德的一个活标本。</p>

长兴侯耿炳文也很明白这一点,所以他的曰子过得比任何功勋大臣都小心,善于察言观色,懂得分寸进退,该争的时候不争,该退的时候一退千里,哪怕受了委屈也绝不吭声,这是他能活下来的另外一个重要原因。</p>

所以萧凡和曹毅领着几名锦衣百户登门的时候,耿炳文并没因自己是开国武将钦封侯爵而端架子,反而态度殷勤的亲自迎出府来,客气中甚至带着几分谦卑的将萧凡等人请进了侯府。</p>

耿炳文穿着一身灰色的便服,看起来很朴素很低调,年已六十多岁的模样,花白的头发,花白的胡须,面孔因常年的征战而显得黝黑,一双浑浊的眼睛里不时流露出老迈沧桑之态。尽管其爱子莫名其妙被人揍成重伤,而且又被扔在茅房,可他面对萧凡时仍能保持侯爷的雍容气度,神情中只带着几不可觉的淡淡悲愤。</p>

将萧凡和曹毅请到侯府内堂坐下后,耿炳文未语先叹气。</p>

“萧大人,曹千户,陛下命你们二位追查犬子被殴一案,实是天子宏恩,老臣这里先行谢过天子,谢过二位大人。”</p>

说罢耿炳文站起身,正正经经朝萧凡和曹毅长长一揖到地,神情肃穆无比。</p>

萧凡吓得差点跳了起来,急忙搀住耿炳文道:“侯爷客气,下官怎敢受侯爷的礼?侯爷折煞下官了。”</p>

耿炳文长叹了口气,神情晦涩道:“老夫家门不幸,犬子无端遭此横祸,也不知是哪个杀千刀的混蛋干的,天子脚下行事如此猖獗,简直是目无王法!”</p>

萧凡和曹毅嘿嘿干笑。</p>

“这恶徒若被拿住,应该剐他一千刀一万刀,老夫会向天子请旨,把那恶徒的卵蛋割下来喂狗,以消老夫心头之恨!”耿炳文说着说着,老脸已渐渐布满了怒意。</p>

萧凡和曹毅擦汗,二人不约而同翘起了二郎腿,将双腿夹紧……“二位大人怎么了?”耿炳文瞧着神态不自然的萧凡和曹毅,不解地问道。</p>

“……尿急!”二人异口同声道,接着又互相看了一眼,眼中满是欣慰。</p>

不愧是好兄弟,连瞎扯淡都扯得如此有默契。</p>

“老夫带二位如厕……”</p>

“啊!暂时不用,侯爷别客气,还是说说令郎被打的事吧,诅咒的话咱们先揭过去,若拿住了凶手,定当知会侯爷,请侯爷亲自对凶手饱施拳脚……”</p>

耿炳文又叹了口气,道:“据犬子后来所说,当晚有个不明身份的黑衣人避开了巡夜的家丁护院,潜入了他的卧房,然后用刀抵着他的脖子,问他想挨揍还是想挨刀,犬子被人所制,于是说他想挨揍……”</p>

萧凡沉吟道:“这么说来,令郎挨的那顿揍,是他自愿挨的呀……”</p>

曹毅赶紧大声咳嗽几声,用眼示意了一下,萧凡扭头一看,耿炳文已面露不悦之色。</p>

“萧大人,被人胁迫之时,为了活命,不激起凶手的杀戮之心,虚与委蛇是每个人都懂的,谁吃饱了撑的自愿挨揍?”</p>

“咳咳,下官失言,侯爷请继续……”</p>

耿炳文不满的瞪了他一眼,接着道:“……后来犬子就被那黑衣人打昏了,待他再次醒来时,发现他在府外西面的围墙外被人施暴,他被疼醒后又疼晕,如此反复几次……”</p>

耿炳文说完神情已布满愤怒之色。</p>

萧凡满脸沉痛:“令郎真是可怜……”</p>

曹毅不胜唏嘘:“是啊……”</p>

“……令郎的生命力也很顽强。”</p>

“是啊……”</p>

“凶手只是揍他,而没杀他,这说明……凶手的良知还未完全泯灭。”萧凡用一副权威的口吻下着结论。</p>

曹毅忙不迭附和:“对对对,凶手必是个有良心的凶手,还可以挽救一下的那种……”</p>

萧凡微笑着朝耿炳文拱了拱手,道:“令郎碰上这样善良的凶手,才捡回了一条命,喜事啊,侯爷,这是喜事啊!”</p>

曹毅点头:“如此心地质朴的善良凶手,简直应该提出嘉奖才是……”</p>

“正是!”</p>

……………………尴尬的一阵沉默后,耿炳文老脸铁青的瞪着萧凡和曹毅,冷冷道:“二位大人说完了吗?”</p>

“呃……说完了。”萧凡和曹毅面带赧色。</p>

“哼!说完了便请二位移驾犬子卧房,开始查案吧。”</p>

“……好。”</p>
