When the cannon fodder gets the golden finger [Transmigration Book]

In the end, Zhao Xi took a few packs of tea bought for a piece of silver and drove back from the official road.When passing by the street on the west side, I saw a yamen servant working and blocked the stone bridge. Pedestrians had to detour to the other two bridges to cross the road. In addition, it was market day today, so the flow of people was already high. One road was missing and the other roads would be relatively crowded.

Zhao Xi didn't know that it was blocked, but for some reason, he deliberately wanted to bypass the scene of the crime, and led his horse through another small street to the west. Leading the horse received a lot of stares.

After entering the capital, Zhao Xi had no choice but to push through the crowd with a cheeky embarrassment, for fear that the horse would kick someone, it was really difficult.

This street is very close to the stone bridge, and it is inevitable to hear the voices of discussions around.

"I heard that there was a witness who saw two thieves disappear from the alley by the bridge over the wall. The thieves must have killed them!" A woman with a basket was talking to a woman selling vegetables in front of a small stall. Sworn.

"Isn't it forbidden for people to go out at night? How could they be found dead on the other side of the bridge?" The woman who sold the vegetables seemed to be from a nearby town, so she didn't understand.

The woman selling vegetables gathered her dress, squatted in front of her stall, picked up vegetables, and said in a low voice: "Hey! You don't know yet? That dead ghost secretly went to Yefang to meet prostitutes, probably The man who knocked down the thief on the passing stone bridge was silenced! If it wasn't for the officers and soldiers patrolling the city who discovered it, it must have been discovered by the watchmen."

"Didn't you say that the watchman saw the thief? Why didn't he find the body? Maybe he was still alive?" the vegetable seller asked strangely.

"Who can see it in the dark? The old Li who was at the watch should not have thought of it. The body was sent to the yamen, and the family members went to claim it this morning. You probably know that it is the tofu seller a few streets away." Liu Jiahan. His mother-in-law gave birth to two boys. Although they are not good-looking, there is nothing wrong with them. The parents-in-law and the two children in the family rely on him to sell tofu for a living. What will the family do if this happens? Yo......"

"Oh, I remembered. Is it the guy from Liu's Tofu Shop, Zhou Zheng, who likes to flirt with the widow across the street?"

"That's right, that's him, you'll know it as soon as you say it."

"Hey, I'm sorry for his daughter-in-law. Two parents-in-law have to take care of her, and the youngest is only seven or eight years old. I went to the yamen to play drums this morning. I just came over to have a look in front of his house—" the woman waved her hands, her face full Can't bear it.

Zhao Xi listened slowly to their conversation, feeling uncomfortable.In the final analysis, they were the culprits who caused the destruction of the family, and they were not even qualified to express any sympathy or pity for the situation of the Liu family.

Anjing is the imperial city of the Great Zhou Dynasty, this kind of thing happened at the foot of the emperor, the Shuntian government government took over the case, and there was a lot of movement in the investigation.First of all, the secret workshop was found out with great fanfare, and all of them were imprisoned. One was to facilitate interrogation, and the other was to prohibit all business activities at night according to the law.

This matter is not deeply involved but it is far away. There are many officials, big and small people in Beijing. The prince deliberately suppressed it, and the emperor didn't hear anything about what happened under his nose.

But the case can be big or small, after all, it is a murder case, and it can't be underestimated if it is charged with the crime of "adverse public security".

This kind of thing doesn't hurt superficially, and the emperor won't do anything if he knows about it. Normally, Prime Minister Feng would not spend a lot of time trying to make eye contact with the emperor, but this time it is different. The Shuntian Mansion and the Ministry of War will no longer let the matter be arbitrarily discussed. It's gone, and I restrained my hands and feet to investigate in private, just hoping to settle the matter quickly with high efficiency.

There seems to be some disagreement between the two organizations, and the various forces inside have stumbling blocks from time to time.In the morning, the person from that dark brothel was arrested and left, and the other dark brothels were investigated and dealt with in the afternoon.Then came the Shuntian government office servant who handled the case with King Ning's handbook, and successively investigated and dealt with various illegal businesses such as gambling houses, restaurants, teahouses, etc. that were open at night.Although the Great Zhou ordered a curfew, not only pedestrians, but also every family closed their doors at night to prohibit noise.It is also illegal to do business.But who can do these businesses in Anjing is not backed by connections. Over the years, he has been banned repeatedly, but he did not expect to be liquidated this time, turning the bottom upside down.

In the next few days, officers and soldiers or yamen servants with weapons can often be seen appearing in a hurry, and people are often forced to be sent to Shuntian Mansion.The common people watched the excitement, cast aside, and were amazed everywhere, and in the end they all got used to it.

Zhao Xi didn't expect that killing one person would cause such a big consequence, but after thinking about it, the essence of this matter is actually two, or even three or more forces fighting and pulling each other.

It has nothing to do with Dali Temple, but Dali Temple is the institution with the most rigorous and perfect laws and regulations in the dynasty, and has also compiled many related file cases for this matter.Zhao Xueyang was not as idle as before, and slipped back home as soon as he was able to click.These two days were often left behind, staying in Dali Temple for most of the day. Compared with the officials of Shuntian Mansion, this was a blessing that could not be envied.

When it was lunch time, Zhao Xueyang hurried back in his official uniform with his black gauze cap in his arms. After he was seated, Zhao Xi poured him a glass of water.

"I'm thirsty." He took a sip of water and let out a long sigh, put his hat aside, and was unceremonious at home, trying to take off his boots with his feet.

Seeing that he couldn't get off the pedal, Zhao Xi squatted down to let him off.

"The people in Shuntian Mansion are too busy to find the north, haha!" Zhao Xueyang poured water to drink again, and stretched his legs so that Zhao Xi could take off. "I have an errand to hand over today, and I entered the Shuntian Mansion—haha, they are arguing, and Feng Nan is stirring up trouble inside with King Ning's letter."

"You're enjoying watching the excitement," Zhao Xi took off his shoes and socks, threw them aside, and shouted outside, "Ah Tian—"

"It's obvious that someone is looking for trouble because they are unhappy. I'm happy to watch the excitement." Zhao Xueyang said with a smile, rather gloating.Zhao Xueyang is young and mature, with a deep mind, and always thinks far-sighted before doing things. Even in front of Zhao Xi, he seldom laughs easily because of things in the court.Zhao Xi also smiled, looking at him with a rare youthful vivacity.

He had Lu Mingyuan's plan in his heart, and he didn't know how to speak. The past two days seemed to pass quickly, one after another.The commotion outside seemed to be just an irrelevant good show, but in fact, the thread that involved me was hidden in the dark, floating in the field of vision, faintly visible.

Seeing his still ignorant appearance, Zhao Xi felt restless, and secretly made up his mind to tell him Lu Mingyuan's plan tonight.Now that he is clearly on the side of King Jin, it will inevitably affect him. Zhao Xueyang is so smart, so he will be on guard.

"Brother." The boy came in through the door.

Zhao Xueyang sent someone to find out Ergou's life experience.

Northern Xinjiang is not as peaceful as Anjing. There is poverty, and the population flow is large. People from the two ethnic groups often come and go in the market, which is relatively chaotic.Children often go missing and are trafficked.Ergou was stolen and sold to a mountain village in the neighboring city of Anjing when he was still in his infancy. The subordinate who investigated the matter was quite serious and went to the village to ask about it himself.The couple had no children at the time, so they bought Ergou. Later, as they grew up, their heterogeneous appearance became more obvious. Later, they gave birth to a boy, and all parties considered that Ergou was taken to the streets of Anjing, far away, when Ergou was six years old and abandoned.Then Ergou lived by begging until he met him.

After Zhao Xi listened to his subordinate's report, he felt resentful and sad. Ergou's identity was clean, so Zhao Xi kept him with him.By the way, I changed his name to a domineering one, the word 'two' was replaced by 'heaven', Tengu.The nickname is A Tian, ​​and I stick to him tightly.

Ah Tian answered the call and came in, standing obediently.

"Go and get Shizi's clogs, and put the shoes and socks away," Zhao Xi said.

"Is the Liu family's case closed?" He changed the subject and asked Zhao Xueyang.

Zhao Xueyang stomped on the ground with two white feet, and accepted the words with a smile, "Not yet, I'm still investigating the two thieves, originally it was just an accident and the case was closed, the old man who called the watch insisted that he saw someone, the family of the deceased If you have to give an explanation, the case can only be investigated."

"It's been dragging on for several days. Did someone instigate that witness?" Zhao Xi guessed. After so long, the forces from all sides were mixed up. Wading.

He wasn't afraid of their identities being exposed, and he didn't leave any evidence behind, so he wouldn't get involved here anyway.

Ah Tian brought the wooden clogs and put them on, Zhao Xueyang stepped on them and put them on, then nodded meaningfully: "Yes, it's at King Ning's side."

Zhao Xi pretended to be puzzled and said: "Tsk, it's strange to say that King Ning has been trying so hard to find trouble this time, and has been making troubles to make matters worse, but what's the use of it? The Holy Majesty will punish you at most and focus on such trivial matters. , are you free?"

"Order to pass the meal." Zhao Xueyang said to Ah Tian gently, and after he left, he looked away and looked at Zhao Xi, "Do you still remember what Lord Yan said that night?"

Zhao Xi thought about it for a while, and his brows became tighter and tighter. "You mean, King Ning wants to take Li Dong first? This non-painful looking for trouble is actually to divert attention, and there is a big move to prepare later?"

Zhao Xueyang glanced at him in surprise and nodded: "It's rare that you can see it so thoroughly. I thought so too. The people in Jiangling who the father sent to secretly investigate have heard that a caravan arrived three months ago. Jiang Ling, acting suspiciously, seems to be preparing to come back these two days, probably found what they want."

He raised his eyebrows, confident, "What are you doing? We'll just wait for their news."

The servants quickly passed the meal over, and they continued to talk about these topics if they didn't let go.

Zhao Xi knew a lot in his heart, but Zhao Xueyang also knew a lot by his own ability, he didn't know what he knew and what he didn't know.He knew it but couldn't just say it, which made him uncomfortable, and he was absent-minded after a meal.

How could Zhao Xueyang fail to see the strange emotions he showed from time to time these two days.Didn't ask any further questions, and picked a piece of meat for him: "I still have business to do in the afternoon, so don't be bored at home, go out for a walk. Ask Ah Si to get some money and send it to that family on West Street. Would you like to go?" Go and see what you want."

For so many days after the accident, Zhao Xi has been afraid to go to that house to see the situation for various reasons, except for guilt and guilty conscience.

Too guilty to face the family of the deceased.

On the contrary, Zhao Xueyang looked like he didn't care about it. In fact, he really didn't care about it so much.It was a farce that was not too big or too small. He occasionally thought that the root cause came from his own hands, and he was a little surprised after he realized it.

"Okay." Zhao Xi nodded, not surprised.Although Zhao Xueyang does things ruthlessly and does not leave future troubles, he does not look like a 17-year-old boy, but he always feels that he is not a cold-blooded and heartless person.

Zhao Xueyang saw that he seemed to relax a little, so he lowered his head to eat with peace of mind.
