[Water Margin] Ximen is a fake official

The sun shines on the roof tiles of the official mansion, and drips from the corners of the eaves to the ground in front of the door.

Ximen Qingqing showed his official seal to the yamen servants guarding the gate, waiting for notification.

Huarong leaned on the horse, a little bored, picked a piece of grass and put it in his mouth.

After waiting for a while, Shi Wenbin personally came to the door to welcome Ximen Qingqing.

Shi Wenbin was a thin and handsome man, he saluted Ximen Qingqing.

Ximen Qingqing hurried forward to stop him, "Don't dare to do it, don't dare to do it, my lord, get up quickly, it's the East Tower who is meeting you."

Shi Wenbin raised his head and said, "Although I'm far away in Yuncheng County, I've heard of the name of the jade-faced judge Ximen Qing, and the cases solved by your lord have also been compiled into story books and spread everywhere."

Ximen Qingqing's smile froze.

She knows it!

She said modestly: "Ashamed, ashamed, Donglou is not as magical as others say."

"I don't know why Master Ximen came to the district of Yuncheng County?"

Ximen Qingqing pondered for a moment, and said, "Song Jiang Song Gongming, the governor of Yuncheng County, do you have any impression?"

Shi Wenbin surrendered Ximen Qingqing to the government office, and Hua Rong followed.

Shi Wenbin glanced at him suspiciously, Ximen Qingqing said, "This is Hua Zhizhai."

Shi Wenbin sighed in admiration, "It really is a boy born of a hero."

Hua Rong cupped his hands.

Several people talked about Song Jiang while walking.

Shi Wenbin said: "Song Jiang...Of course I know, he is a prison officer in Yuncheng County, and he is proficient in knives and pens. With him, I can save a lot of things. I also value him very much, and I want to use him." For a few years, I can help him in activities and get promoted, but how could he think of it... Sigh!"

Shi Wenbin sighed.

Hua Rong asked urgently: "Why is your lord sighing? But for Song..."

Shi Wenbin: "Exactly. He had a bright future, but now he has become a murderer."

Hua Rong: "But someone saw him kill with his own eyes. Could there be some misunderstanding?"

Shi Wenbin gave him a strange look, then turned to look at Ximen Qingqing.

Ximen Qingqing said softly: "He is on good terms with Song Jiang, I don't believe Song Jiang is such a person."

Shi Wenbin: "So that's the case. In fact, when this incident first happened, I didn't really believe it."

As he spoke, he looked at Ximen Qingqing's expression.

Ximen Qingqing felt that his behavior was a bit strange, so he quietly observed him secretly.

Shi Wenbin continued: "Don't say it's my official, most of the entire government doesn't believe that Song Jiang will do this..."

He looked at Ximen Qingqing and said, "Your Excellency may not know that this Song Jiang is called 'Timely Rain' because he has long been able to help people, and there is no one in the whole county who cannot be helped by him. He also has a name called 'Xiaoyu' Yihei Saburo', it can be seen that he is also a person of utmost love and filial piety."

Ximen Qingqing chuckled, "Yes, I heard his name mentioned when I was far away in my hometown."

The magistrate Shi Wenbin's appearance of constantly speaking well for Song Jiang was interesting, and he didn't know what purpose was hidden in it.

Hua Rong said: "Since this is the case, there must be something strange in it. Maybe Song Jiang didn't kill him, but someone pushed him on purpose."

Shi Wenbin showed a troubled expression, "But this case is difficult because there are all certified physical evidence. The post-mortem examination also proves that Yan Poxi was killed by cutting her neck with a knife."

Huarong: "Who is the witness?"

Shi Wenbin: "It is Yan Poxi's godmother."

The "six wives" in the so-called "three aunts and six wives" refer to exactly: the matchmaker, the matchmaker, the master, the godly woman, the medicine woman, and the stable woman. " Zhang Luo is a prostitute who trades in flesh and blood.

In this way, the identity of Yan Poxi is naturally clear.

Hua Rong: "The mother-in-law and his wife have always relied on Brother Gongming, but because of Yan Poxi's death, this mother-in-law has no one to rely on for the rest of her life, so she pinned the pot of shit and urine on Brother Gongming's head."

"Since witnesses may be falsified, the so-called physical evidence is not necessarily Song Jiang's physical evidence."

Shi Wenbin: "That's extremely reasonable."

Ximen Qingqing didn't speak, but just looked at the two silently.

Hua Rong: "That's why I invited Mr. Ximen, who is known as a jade-faced judge, to clear up Song Jiang's grievances."

Shi Wenbin clapped his hands together and sighed: "That's just right, I also have the same intention."

Ah.

Ximen Qingqing sneered.

She could tell that Wen Bin wanted to protect Song Jiang when he was co-authoring. Regardless of whether Song Jiang really killed someone or not, even if he did, the county magistrate probably wanted to protect Song Jiang and sentenced the case indiscriminately.

This is the so-called upright official in the mouth of the people?

Ximen Qingqing clasped his hands and said, "My lord, can Dong Lou have a look at the file of this case?"

Shi Wenbin: "Of course you can, this way please."

Ximen Qingqing followed Shi Wenbin to the study room, and before stepping over the threshold, she turned to Hua Rong.

Hua Rong was taken aback, "Official?"

Ximen Qingqing smiled and said: "You are too concerned about this matter, don't blind yourself and go astray."

Hua Rong thought about her words carefully, his heart trembled, and he was about to say something, but Ximen Qingqing turned around and stepped into the threshold.

He didn't know why a trace of uneasiness surged in his heart.

……

Ximen Qingqing flipped through the file, and the more she read it, the more annoyed she became, but she forcibly endured it and kept silent.

Hua Rong and Shi Wenbin, the county magistrate, sat aside, carefully watching her expression.

For some reason, the atmosphere in the room became more and more tense.

The two of them didn't even dare to push the tea leaves so hard that the tea lid would make a sound when it touched the tea bowl.

There was the sound of "swiping" pages turning in the study.

Ximen Qingqing turned the last page and let out a long sigh of relief.

She put down the file, picked up the tea bowl, and took a sip.

"That... my lord, but what's wrong with this case file?"

Shi Wenbin leaned forward and asked Ximen Qingqing cautiously.

Ximen Qingqing smiled and put down the tea bowl, which made a "click" sound when it hit the table.

"Oh? The magistrate of Shi felt that there was something wrong with the handling of this case?"

Shi Wenbin hurriedly said: "Except for the escape of the suspect Song Jiang, there is nothing inappropriate."

Ximen Qingqing nodded, "Not bad."

Shi Wenbin immediately breathed a sigh of relief.

"It's just, what's going on with this Tang Niu'er!" Ximen Qingqing slapped the table and shouted sharply.

Shi Wenbin was stunned, and only after a while did he let out a trembling "ah".

Ximen Qingqing: "When the county magistrate knows the matter of a county, don't you know about this issue?"

Shi Wenbin hurriedly said: "I naturally know that Tang Niuer's matter has been written in the case file. I just wonder why my lord mentioned him for no reason?"

"Why?"

Ximen Qingqing sneered, pointed to the case file and said, "Based on the charge of 'being on the run' above, he is a commoner, and he didn't live in Song Jiang's house, nor was he at the scene when the crime happened. Judging that he deliberately allowed the murderer to escape, and stabbed him five hundred miles away?"

Shi Wenbin: "My lord, the godmother dragged Song Jiang to the government that day, and Tang Niuer saw it, Tang Niuer came to stop him, and even slapped the godmother. When the two argued, Song Jiang was let go."

Ximen Qingqing: "It's really two official words, let you say it, if Tang Niu'er is 'Gu Zong', why are the others innocent? What about Song Jiang's father and elder brother written in the case file?"

Shi Wenbin: "Song Jiang already has a certificate of approval, Song Taigong has given out Song Jiang's citizenship, and Song Jiang has no relationship with his father Song Taigong and elder brother Song Qing."

Ximen Qingqing: "That's really strange. Since Song Jiang is known as Xiaoyi Black Saburo, how could he abandon his old father?"

Shi Wenbin: "I don't know, this certificate was also issued by my predecessor."

"Where is the certificate?"

Shi Wenbin: "In Song Taigong's own hands, I only have a copy here."

Ximen Qingqing stood up against the table, and Shi Wenbin stood up immediately.

"My lord?" Shi Wenbin asked uneasily.

Ximen Qingqing: "Where is Yan Poxi's body?"

Shi Wenbin: "It has already been buried."

Ximen Qingqing: "What about the godmother?"

"It's still in Yuncheng County."

Ximen Qingqing smiled, "I'm sorry, I frightened you just now. I just wanted to understand the situation. Now that the situation is clear, I won't bother you."

Shi Wenbin breathed a sigh of relief, "It's okay, since it's an adult who wants to ask, I naturally have to cooperate."

"Then... Was Song Jiang framed?"

Ximen Qingqing looked at him with a half-smile, and said, "It's not certain, it's also possible that someone who has a grudge against Song Jiang deliberately put this charge on his head, does Shizhi County know who has a grudge against him? "

Shi Wenbin seemed to think of something, but hesitated to speak.

Ximen Qingqing: "If your lord thinks of something, you might as well just say it."

Shi Wenbin said: "Then... well, this matter is also muddled. There are two escorts in the government office, one is Song Jiang, and the other is Zhang Wenyuan. Yan Poxi originally followed Song Jiang, and her food and clothing costs are also high It all came from Song Jiang, and later, she and Zhang Wenyuan saw each other right, and she made friends with him behind Song Jiang's back, and many people in Yuncheng County knew about it."

Oh, and wearing a green hat that is well known in the city.

"I see……"

Shi Wenbin: "My lord, could it be that Wen Yuan is the real murderer?"

Ximen Qingqing saw that he was eager to exonerate Song Jiang, and said slowly: "Is it...or is it not? I have to meet Zhang Wenyuan to find out."

Shi Wenbin made a final decision: "Okay, I'll call him right now."

Ximen Qingqing stopped him again, she said: "My lord, tell me the scene of the murder, and let him lead the way for me, so that I can get out his words without anyone noticing."

Shi Wenbin suddenly realized, and gave a thumbs up, "My lord, tall! It's really tall!"

According to what Ximen Qingqing said, Shi Wenbin approached Zhang Wenyuan and asked him to guide Ximen Qingqing.

Ximen Qingqing took Zhang Wenyuan away from the government office.

Huarong has always wanted to talk to Ximen Qingqing, but couldn't find the time.

……

Ximen Qingqing looked at Zhang Wenyuan, and saw that he was a good young man, and he was particularly flattering in his speech and manner.

He intentionally or unintentionally inquired about the purpose of Ximen Qingqing's coming to Yuncheng County, and Ximen Qingqing said that he came here for the case of Song Jiang.

A trace of displeasure flashed across Zhang Wenyuan's face.

Ximen Qingqing caught his expression and said with a smile: "Since Zhang Yasi and Song Jiang are colleagues, how does Zhang Yasi think about this case?"

Zhang Wenyuan's eyes flickered, "Didn't he already know that Song Jiang is the murderer, and he still fled in fear of crime?"

"I was in charge of investigating the case at the time, and the evidence was solid."

Ximen Qingqing nodded, "That's right."

Zhang Wenyuan said with an unwavering expression: "Our county magistrate and Song Jiang have always been on good terms, so we are really lenient and let Song Jiang's father and elder brother go."

He murmured in a low voice: "If there weren't so many pairs of eyes looking at him, he might even consider Song Jiang himself innocent."

This small whisper was heard by Ximen Qingqing, and she also had some thoughts.

Afterwards, Ximen Qingqing went to inspect the house where Yan Poxi lived, and asked the godly woman some things, and asked Zhang Wenyuan about Song Taigong's residence on the way.

After coming out of these places, the sky was getting dark, Zhang Wenyuan said goodbye and left, and asked Ximen Qingqing if he had a place to live.

He said: "I have rented a house in the south of the city. There are a few vacant rooms. If you don't mind, you can go to my place to stay. You can find out where my house is by asking Chengnan."

Ximen Qingqing responded with a smile.

Hua Rong looked at her hesitantly, but because of what she said before, he dared not open his mouth easily.

Ximen Qingqing found a food stall, ordered a bowl of soup cakes, and sat down on a bench beside him.

She turned to Huarong and said, "You can order whatever you want, I'll treat you."

Hua Rong laughed, "Brother finally talked to me, I thought I had offended you at some point."

Ximen Qingqing looked at him and said seriously: "You really annoyed me."

"what?"

Ximen Qingqing mentioned another matter, "You should be anxious to ask me something now, right?"

Hua Rong scratched his nose in embarrassment, "The officials are wise."

Ximen Qingqing: "Then you can ask."

Hua Rong looked at her quietly, and asked earnestly, "Is Song Jiang the real murderer who killed Yan Poxi?"

Ximen Qingqing stared at him, "What do you think?"

Hua Rong: "Yan Poxi's concubine...the one named Zhang Wenyuan is actually suspected, so..."

Ximen Qingqing looked serious, "You have disappointed me too much, Hua Rong."

Hua Rong never thought that Ximen Qing would say such words anyway, he was startled, and his whole body froze.

He didn't recover until the boss brought up two bowls of soup cakes.

Maybe Ximen Qing was too kind to him, and he couldn't bear to scold him a little bit.

Hua Rong clenched his fists and lowered his head, "My lord, Hua Rong doesn't know how I have disappointed my lord, and I hope my lord will let Hua Rong understand."

Ximen Qingqing closed his eyes and said coldly, "Ask me? Why don't you ask yourself first to see if you really want to know if Song Jiang is the murderer, or if you just want to excuse Song Jiang!"

The author has something to say: Ximenqing was a heartthrob when he met Song Jiang, and he met another heartthrob.

Also, the name Zhang Wenyuan in Water Margin really made me play~
