Zhuoying

Two days later, the people from Liwen Office arrived, and Zhong Xie went to meet him in person.However, unexpectedly, Kong Xiangwen, the deputy envoy of the Procuratorate and Prosecutor's Division, came with him this time.A case that should be investigated and dealt with should have alarmed the deputy envoy of the fourth rank?Moreover, although the Qingping Chief Political Envoy has four deputy envoys, Kong Xiangwen is quite different.

This person is the confidant of Qi Yi, the chief envoy of Qingping.

Zhong Xie was keenly aware of something, but his mere new grain governor, if it wasn't for the family background behind him, he wouldn't even be able to stand beside Kong Xiangwen.

The curtain of the carriage was lifted, and the officials from the Liwen Office who followed behind him quickly got off their horses and came to help.Kong Xiangwen raised his hand to signify no need, and got out of the car with his robe lifted.

This person is now in his forties. He was an old man who was promoted to the top rank in the early years of Yongle.Since he became an official, he has been working in Qingping, and he is most familiar with the division of Qingping's subordinates.

He turned his eyes here, saw Zhong Xie first, and immediately passed the crowd to talk with Zhong Xie.

"Ruchen." Kong Xiangwen affectionately called Zhong Xie's words, and said, "You will be responsible for this tour. It is the negligence of the inspector to trouble you here for the past two days. Wait, wait for you and me together." When I go back, I will make it clear to the adults."

"Lord Kong." Zhong Xie saluted, raised his hand to lead the way: "The murder case is urgent, and I will talk with you while walking."

Kong Xiangwen laughed, let him lead the way, and said: "Let's go. I have read the case file on the way. I don't know if the woman has been imprisoned?"

Zhong Xie paused, and said: "The person from the Li Wen Institute has not arrived, and the crime has not been investigated, so Liu Wanchen still does not know the cause of death. According to the law, this woman can only be supervised, and cannot be imprisoned yet."

The two had already entered the gate of the yamen, Kong Xiangwen smiled when he heard this, he stopped, raised his hand and nodded the bell.

"You, you, Ruchen, you often study in the capital, and you don't know the methods of this place. This case is obvious at a glance, and it has nothing to do with our subordinates' investigation process even if you come to work. That woman really pushed Liu Wanchen, Liu Wanchen. Wan Chen was indeed killed because of this. If you relax your wrist for a moment, such vicious people will spy on you and make troubles." He said: "The guards in this place are often familiar with the local people, and they may be secretly bribed and exchanged .Once the case drags on for a long time, it will be difficult to issue the execution order from above, and it will be troublesome to go back and forth again. Do you know that?"

Zhong Xie frowned slightly, and said, "Even so, it doesn't match..."

"Ruchen." Kong Xiangwen took his hand and shook it, and said with a smile, "it's useless to talk about war on paper. Just wait and see, there will be disputes in this case." He said again, "do you know who this woman is?"

"The Shi clan of Lianti Village, Changhe Town."

Kong Xiangwen laughed inexplicably, Zhong Xie's chest stagnated, and he was vaguely bored.

Kong Xiangwen said: "This Shi family has never abided by women's morals since she was a widow. She has affairs with people in the nearby villages. Her name is famous. The sisters and children in Shanghua Street in Changhe Town may not be more famous than her. Besides, she has a son who is ten years old. Ninth, I am working as an apprentice in the Mongolian Pavilion in this town. This Mongolian Pavilion has accumulated power in Changhe Town for a long time. You say that I will investigate from top to bottom and leave as soon as the case is completed, but the little ghosts below live here all year round. If they offend people, How can we live in the days to come? However, as officials, don’t we just want justice? Therefore, according to what I said, I will immediately put Shishi under the supervision of the procuratorate and deal with the crime, so as to solve the case before early winter. It's clean and tidy, and it doesn't embarrass the people below, so you and I can return home early, right?"

In the end, he said earnestly: "Ruchen, you just took the job, so it's okay if you don't know how much you know. After a long time, you will know that everything I said today is true. Besides, this is Liu Wanchen." He pointed at the top, " Not only should there be no delay, but his body must also be kept safe."

After going around all this time, I'm afraid all I want to say is the last sentence.Regardless of his reasons, the widow Shi must be beheaded!Because Liu Wanchen was afraid that he might be involved in favors in the mansion, Kong Xiangwen came to warn him to mind his own business.

Zhong Xie didn't answer, but slowly withdrew his hand, hiding under the official robe.

Su Shuo has been squatting on the news, and when he learned that Kong Xiangwen was coming, he turned around and told his master.Meng Chen took the tea and put it down again, and said: "This Liu Wanchen...when did he have anything to do with Qingping Mansion?"

I'm afraid the relationship is not shallow.

"I've never heard of it." Su Shuo said: "Besides, according to Liu Wanchen's temperament, since he has Qingping Mansion as his backer, why should he be afraid of us, a small Mongolian mansion? Sixth, look over old accounts."

Meng Chen turned the tea cover slowly, and he asked again: "Then Liu Qianling had any relationship with Qingping Mansion?"

Su Shuo was quiet, turned around a few times, and said: "If Liu Qianling has a good relationship with Qingping Mansion, then." He whispered: "How can Xiao Liu still live until now?"

"Not necessarily." Meng Chen finally lifted the lid of the tea, and said: "Then the chief envoy of Qingping is not Qi Yi, but Xie Jingsheng. Xie Jingsheng..." He curled his lips, "Forget it, I mentioned you as well. I don't know. You just know that Xie Jingsheng will definitely not have anything to do with the Liu family. Now that Qi Yi is in office, it is not impossible to endure for three or four years in order to secure his position and settle accounts later in the fall."

Still not right.

The biggest doubt in this case is why Liu Wanshen died?Was it really Mrs. Su's push, or the widow Shi's scissors?But the Mongolian disciples who arrived first could see clearly that even though the wounds from the scissors were terrible, they were not serious.Looking over the corpse, there was no fatal injury to the back of the head.

How did he die so well?

It seems like the time has been set.

And, how did he find Widow's Yard while dead drunk?

This doubt has not been resolved yet, when the news of the widow being imprisoned came first.When Shi Yu rushed to the Yamen, he was already in prison, and he didn't even see him face to face.Su Shuo inquired with the acquaintances of the jailer, but only got a sentence to follow the rules.

Zhong You watched Su Shuo talking with acquaintances for a while, then turned to look at the yamen.

Kong Xiangwen's carriage stopped at the door.A horse is an extremely ordinary horse, and a cart is an extremely ordinary cart.It was still windy at the moment, but the car curtain didn't move at all, blocking the situation inside the car to death.

Zhong You moved, took some distance, and circled around the carriage.

"Sir?" Su Shuo saw him looking at the carriage when he turned his head, and said, "That's Mr. Kong's carriage." Then he said, "It's... simple enough."

Zhong You seemed to be smiling, but the smile only slipped away, and said slowly: "Indeed." Then he asked: "Has the assistant from Qingping Mansion come?"

Su Shuo hesitated, shook his head and said, "I haven't seen it before."

Zhong You sighed softly, and he said: "Master Kong acted like a thunderbolt, but went beyond the process. The cause of death is still unknown, and Wu Zuo never showed up, but took him first." He rolled up the sleeves of his blue shirt and said: "Illegal."

"Only I will invite you to come here..."

"No." Zhong You said: "The Mongolian Pavilion is not owned by the Inspectorate, and it is also a relative and friend of Shi Yu. Why touch the corpse? Unless the Liu family asks him to do an autopsy, otherwise, in a few days, the corpse will be delayed. It will be in accordance with the Inspectorate. Even when Wu Zuo came, he couldn't find anything."

How to do?

Is it possible to close the case hastily and let the widow pay for her life?

After returning to the Meng Mansion, Zhong You and Meng Chen walked around the small courtyard twice without calling anyone else, and even Shi Yu stayed in the mansion.

Zhong You didn't enter the house, he just stood at the bottom of the steps and looked in through the broken door.

"Sir is a person who is used to wind and waves." Meng Chen stood aside with his hands behind his back, and asked: "This place is the quietest now, and this old man can only listen to Mr.'s opinions here."

"I asked Uncle Meng to accompany me on a special trip." Zhong You said: "I have no skills, and I don't know how to investigate cases, and I have no right to intervene. I only have doubts, and I want to ask Uncle Meng to clarify my doubts."

"Sir, please speak."

Zhong You was silent for a moment, and then said: "Has Liu Wanchen known Shi Yu?"

"knowledge."

"Who is Liu Qianling?"

"Brother Liu Wanshen, Qingshui Township was the most talented literary talent in his early years." Meng Chen seemed to guess what he would ask, and said, "I was a classmate with Shi Tingzhou, the father of Shi Liu."

Both of them were silent.

After a long time, Zhong You said, "How did Liu Qianling die?"

the other end.

Shi Yu was sitting on the porch when a cat ran over and rubbed his arm.Shi Yu raised his hand and touched its ear lightly, his deep eyes were empty.

Su Shuo was thinking about what to say, but Shi Yu spoke first.

He said: "She can't kill people." The fingertip touched the cat's ear lightly again, and said: "She doesn't have the guts."

"It would be great if Master Kong knew about it." Su Shuo crossed his legs, "If..."

"Brother." Shi Yu stopped his hand, and seeing that he didn't move, the cat turned around again and ran away.He whispered: "Liu Wanchen saw it."

Su Shuo hesitated.

Shi Yu's eyes were bottomless, clearly reflecting his astonishment. He heard Shi Yu calmly said, "When I killed Liu Qianling, Liu Wanchen saw it. The cellar of Liu's family was frozen. Liu Qianling Sliding down and hitting his head, I broke the ice edge and went through his eye. He was still alive, screaming for help. I gagged him."

When the cool wind blows, the hair on Yu's forehead is broken.

The autumn day in the afternoon is warm, but it is creepy in this cool wind.

Shi Yu said: "Then cut his throat."

Su Shuo rushed over suddenly, pressed Shi Yu's body, and shouted sharply: "What nonsense are you talking about!" He said angrily: "Shi Yu, stop talking!" Yu's shoulder, hurriedly said: "What's the matter with you!"

Shi Yu pushed his hand away, straightened up, his face was a little indifferent, and said: "Liu Wanchen heard the voice, and he saw it clearly from the cellar entrance. He was there when Liu Qianling was still alive, and he didn't come down. No sound, either. But he saw everything."

"So what, now he, others—"

"But he still dares to find my mother." Shi Yu said calmly: "He has been hiding in Qingshui Township, and he didn't even dare to get close to Lianti Village. As long as I go back to Changhe Town, he will retreat back to Qingshui Township. He dare not show his face , he was afraid of becoming Liu Qianling. Then why did he come again? Now, when I was still alive, did someone tell him that I was not here, or was someone tell him that I was dead?" Shi Yu said slowly: "Brother, this Someone wanted him to die in the matter, and he was dragged into my mother, then Liu Qianling, and even Shi Tingzhou."

The man who killed Liu Wanchen.

It's this person.

Su Shuo's eyes were wide open, and he said harshly, "Liu Qianling acted like a beast, who is going to settle the old score for him? After his death, Liu Wanchen has the final say in the Liu family, who can kill..."

Su Shuo's voice stopped abruptly.

"Liu Qinghuan." Shi Yu's black eyes were sharp, "There is another Liu Qinghuan. According to the postponing of the autopsy, I can only confirm one thing."

There is something wrong with Liu Wanchen's body.

The author has something to say:

This chapter will give you a confession.

First, all the jurisdictions of the procuratorial envoys for criminal punishment can be called "procuratorial divisions for criminal punishment". I have made a slight modification here, and it has become a unique agency directly under the Qingping chief envoy.

Second, according to the practice of Ming and Qing Dynasties, most of the local political envoys were appointed by Zhongshu officials, and they were three-legged with the procuratorial envoys and the commanding envoys.I also made a slight change here, and became the Qingping chief envoy to dominate one side, weakening the power of the three legs.

Third, the materials at hand are incomplete, and the local system has some omissions, and there are some discrepancies with the system in the early Ming Dynasty. If it causes reading troubles, please leave a message to me immediately, and I will correct it immediately.
