Datang traitor

When Ye Qian was escorted over, he hung his head, wishing to bury his head in his chest, as if he was ashamed to see people.

After Changsun Wuji looked at Ye Gan in surprise, he asked Qin Yuan in a low voice, "What's going on?"

"Ye Cishi is a flower picker, thanks to the guards around Changsun Gong who followed him and caught him." Qin Yuan explained.

The leading guard beside Changsun Wuji quickly saluted and corrected: "The subordinates are just following Qin Shaoqing's orders and are responsible for monitoring Ye Cishi. It is Qin Shaoqing who really expected Ye Cishi to commit crimes."

"It's a credit, and you are quite humble to each other. But now I don't want to hear this, tell me what's going on? How could this flower picker be Ye Cishi?"

Obviously everyone has experienced similar things, and they are fully aware of it, but he is completely puzzled. Every time this happens, Changsun Wuji wonders if he seems to have lost a head.Changsun Wuji frowned and urged Qin Yuan to solve his doubts quickly and stop being tricky.

Qin Yuan and Changsun Wuji explained: "When I was reviewing the files of the flower pickers before, I found that in February, March, and August and September, the crimes committed by the flower pickers took place in the surrounding Zhashui County, Zhen'an County, Danfeng County and Shangnan County, and the rest of the time is basically in Shangluo County. That is to say, this flower picker usually lives in Shangluo County, and in spring and autumn, when he has something to do, he will go around the surrounding counties .

But no matter which county it is, the places where the flower pickers commit crimes are scattered, and there is no particular area.Most of the men in the families of the victims are away all year round, which shows that the flower pickers have accurately grasped the household registration information of these victims.

In addition, even if there is a wanted by the government, the flower picker can still perfectly avoid the pursuit of the government.I suspected that this flower picker should be someone from the Shangzhou government office.

This person can check the household registration of the entire Shangzhou people at will, understand the military deployment of the government office, and patrol the territory under his jurisdiction in spring and autumn, inspecting farming, sericulture and other things.So this flower picker is definitely not an ordinary little guy. "

Qin Yuan told Changsun Wuji that when he was sure that the flower pickers were internal officials of the Shangzhou government, he knew that the flower pickers would definitely pay attention to their investigations by people from Dali Temple.That's why Qin Yuan will deliberately take the household registration files, and forge the false appearance of discovering important clues.After that, he borrowed someone from the grandson and bluffed in the east of the city.

"Out of caution, Governor Ye should have sent someone to monitor my actions. Hearing about my situation, he immediately followed Dai Shaoqing. In order to see me, you can only cooperate and come over the wall."

"I remembered when you said that. Originally, I wanted to ask you about this matter after you finished your tossing. Ye Qian persuaded me at that time that it would be better to ask clearly immediately." After Changsun Wuji said, he was ruthless. Gouging Ye Gan hard, he didn't expect to be used by him too.

"Ye Cishi's feet are exactly seven and a half inches. He is older than Dai Shaoqing, but he is very agile over the wall. I also noticed that Ye Cishi's eye circles are always dark, which seems to be caused by staying up late for a long time."

Since then, Qin Yuan has probably suspected Ye Gan.But because there is no substantive evidence, he can only find a way to catch the current situation.On the one hand, Qin Yuan insisted that he knew the flower picker very well, and believed that he would accept his provocation; on the other hand, he tried his best to exhaust all the troops in Shangzhou Prefecture.

The flower picker is a person who likes to be stimulated, bold and overconfident, otherwise he would not be so rampant to humiliate women everywhere, and continue to commit crimes as usual during the tense period when the government is offering rewards for arrest.

Qin Yuan created an environment in a disguised form that made the flower pickers think it seemed safe to commit crimes, and then ordered Changsun Wuji's bodyguards to secretly monitor Ye Qian and secretly wait for his actions.

"In the end, he really couldn't hold back his restlessness. On the one hand, he wanted to seek excitement because of his nature, and on the other hand, he wanted to see me slumped after committing a crime. Ye Cishi, do you think I'm right? No, I should call You are the flower picking thief." After Qin Yuan explained, he turned his head and questioned Ye Qian.

Ye Qian was spread out on the ground like a pool of soft meat, he didn't dare to lift his shy face, and kept his face on the ground without saying a word.Every time Qin Yuan talked about his pain point, his body would tremble slightly, he was frightened, and he regretted that he was too arrogant and took a wrong step.

Qin Yuan told Changsun Wuji that Ye Qian just went to the home of Facao Canjun in Shangzhou Prefecture.Because tonight all the men and horses in the yamen were arranged by him to the east of the city, and Fa Cao joined the army to be in charge of criminal and prison cases, so of course he had to sit in the yamen and watch the night.Fa Cao joined the army at the age of 40 this year, and his wife is 39 years old. It should not be within the scope of Ye Zhan's hunting, but Fa Cao joined the army and has a 16-year-old daughter who has just been engaged.

When Changsun Wuji heard the words, he slapped the table and scolded Ye Qian for being shameless, and asked him whether everything Qin Yuan said just now was true.

Ye Qian tremblingly kowtowed to Changsun Wuji, hesitated for a long time with tears like rain, still excused himself, and kept explaining that he was only doing this for practice.He told Changsun Wuji that this method can prolong life and cure all diseases, and he can pass it on to everyone present.

"I'm just lustful, I just like to play with women, I didn't kill and set fire... I beg my eldest grandson to be kind!"

"Do you know how difficult life is for those women who have been defiled by you? Do you know how many women have taken their own lives because of this incident! You have the face to tell me to prolong your life here, but you are just playing with women? Can you say such a thing, You are not worthy of being a man, let alone a human being!"

After Changsun Wuji scolded Ye Qian, he was so emotional that he had to take a slow breath.

"Since Ye Qian has been arrested, he has pleaded guilty. The circumstances of this case are so bad that it has caused great panic to the people of Shangzhou. At noon today, he will be beheaded for public display."

The Dali Temple under the leadership of Changsun Wuji has the independent decision-making power to adjudicate the case. If the evidence is convincing, there is no need to go to retaliation trial, and the judgment can be made directly.

"Elder grandson, please forgive me, please forgive me..."

Thinking that he was going to die soon, Ye Qian cried out in fright, kowtowed hard to ask Changsun Wuji to be merciful, and begged him to give him a lighter sentence for his hard work in Shangzhou all these years.

Changsun Wuji couldn't help laughing.This kind of person has the face to talk about his hard work.Changsun Wuji waved his hand impatiently, signaling his subordinates to pull him out quickly, he didn't want to take another look at such a disgusting person, and he didn't want to hear another word from him.

"You have merit." Changsun Wuji praised Qin Yuan without hesitation, and told Qin Yuan that all the excessive things he did before can be written off.

Qin Yuan didn't quite understand and asked Changsun Wuji: "Did I do anything too much to my grandson before?"

Changsun Wuji gave him a sideways look, which obviously meant 'a lot'.

Qin Yuan was stunned for a moment, but he didn't think of any of them.

After Changsun Wuji left, Qin Yuan smiled and asked Dai Zhou, who had been in a trance, "What is Dai Shaoqing thinking?"

"Oh, I wrote it for nothing." Dai Zhou sighed helplessly.

Dai Zhou didn't notice who was talking to him at first, but when he looked up and saw it was Qin Yuan, he was very embarrassed.He bowed his hand to Qin Yuan humbly, and ran around in a circle in a panic before running away.

When Dai Zhou went back, he tore up the scriptures written to participate in Qin Yuan's "Wife Abandoning the Dross" and "Stupid Handling the Case".

Dai Zhou stretched his neck, took a deep breath, and tried to reflect on what he was doing during this time.This Qin Yuan obviously has the talent to solve crimes, and it's not as bad as he imagined.The thoughts he had before: how to win over Sun Gong, how to secretly participate in him, how to deal with him... are all revealing the ugliness in his heart little by little.

Shameful, shameful, Dai Zhou has turned into the kind of shameless villain he hates the most.

Dai Zhouji rolled his eyeballs to look left and right, the room was really quiet and there was no one there.He raised his head and slapped himself, scolding himself for being shameless.

……

At noon, the law field in Shangluo County was empty for thousands of people.

All the people in the entire county flocked to the execution ground to watch, everyone wanted to see what kind of dog the legendary flower picker who had done countless evils looked like.

When the common people saw that the person who was pushed up was actually the governor of Shangzhou, the scene of cursing and lively discussion suddenly stopped, and it was very quiet, very quiet.

Ye Gan, wearing shackles, was led step by step towards the beheading platform.The sound of footsteps and the sound of iron chains hitting the ground were all very clear.

Suddenly, a piece of rotten vegetable leaf hit Ye Gan's face, and then someone cried out in pain that Ye Gan had killed their daughter, the voice piercingly pierced the entire sky,

The people all roared and shouted, scolding Ye Gan for being nothing, and all kinds of swear words came out.But everyone still couldn't understand their hatred, and took something that could hit people in their hands, and smashed it hard at Ye Qian.

Seeing this, the yamen guards in charge of escort hid aside, and let the common people curse and throw things at Ye Gan.Ye Gan was beaten very quickly, his body was covered with rotten vegetable leaves, his eyes and mouth were red, swollen and purple, there was almost no good skin, and his facial features could no longer be distinguished.

At this time, Cao Songyi, the governor of Shangzhou Prefecture, who was in charge of supervising the execution, gritted his teeth fiercely and shouted: "It's time, execute!"

He must see the head of this villain who dared to plot against his daughter fall to the ground with his own eyes, and he will never blink!

The people cheered and shouted in unison: "Behead! Behead!..."

The sound was deafening, almost screaming.

Changsun Wuji and Qin Yuan watched the execution in a distant building, eating cherries leisurely.

"I'm going back to Chang'an today, do you want to stay and help your little maid solve the case?" Changsun Wuji asked.

Qin Yuan nodded.

At this time, the guard knocked on the door and came in, holding a box of books in his hand.

"The subordinates found this box of old books in Ye Qian's home, all of which describe the cultivation method of collecting yin and nourishing yang."

Changsun Wuji smiled, and casually took out a book to read.

"The weak can make it full, the strong can make it prosper for a long time, and the old can make it live forever... The firm essence of Yuguan will make the jade spring not fall, and all diseases will be free from infants, so you can live forever."①

"Nonsense." Changsun Wuji sneered and threw the book back.

Qin Yuan took it over and read it carefully, and said to Changsun Wuji: "Give this book to me."

"It's useless if you want it, so why keep it?" Changsun Wuji retorted casually, suddenly realized that he seemed to have hit Qin Yuan's pain point, secretly observed his reaction, and found that Qin Yuan didn't show any embarrassment color.

"I don't feel relieved until I turn around and burn it myself." Qin Yuan explained.

Changsun Wuji nodded and let him deal with it.

After Ye Qian was beheaded, the people dispersed.Everyone knew that the case was solved because people from Dali Temple came, and they all praised the imperial court for its excellent work and compassion for the people.

When Changsun Wuji drove away in the afternoon, he found that there were many people on both sides of the road seeing them off, some even cried, and knelt down to thank Dali Temple Minister for saving all the women in the city.

Changsun Wuji stood up with a smile and said goodbye to everyone.When I left, I was full of glory and contented.This credit will naturally be credited to Qin Yuan when Changsun Wuji turns around, and he will definitely not be stingy in praising him in front of the saint.

Dai Zhou, who went back with Changsun Wuji, felt very uncomfortable seeing this scene.Although many people expressed respect to him and thanked him, Dai Zhou felt that this credit had nothing to do with him at all. He was just a villain who wreaks havoc, and he was narrow-minded!He is ashamed of all this, the more people love him and look at him with adoring eyes, the more guilty he feels in his heart.

When he goes back this time, he has to review himself well, and when he sees Qin Yuan next time, he must adopt a brand new attitude.

After Qin Yuan sent away his eldest grandson Wuji, he took advantage of this beautiful opportunity to bring Zhou Xiaolu back to Zhou's house.He wants to see how big the Zhou family is, which is said to be a big family.

The Zhou family in Shangluo County, their ancestors have been officials in the local area for generations. Although the officials are not big, they are all positions such as county magistrates and master bookkeepers.The Zhou family's house is in the south of the city. Because of the large population, the area occupies more than half of the alley. Looking at the house from a distance, it gives people a very grand impression.

Zhou Xiaolu brought Qin Yuan to the gate of Zhou's house, feeling a little nervous.Of course, her nervous expression is still flat, but she will keep looking at Qin Yuan.Qin Yuan encouraged her not to be afraid, with him around, no matter what, the Zhou family would give some face to the official position of Shaoqing of Dali Temple.

Zhou Xiaolu nodded, and mustered up the courage to knock on the door. Before she could speak, she was immediately recognized by the servants.

The servant turned around and ran away, shouting: "Liu Niangzi is back."

Soon, a seventeen or eighteen-year-old boy came out of the house, with a long face, a green robe, and narrow eyes that were full of anger.He suddenly raised his hand and slapped Zhou Xiaolu's face hard.
