Nongmen Shenjue

Chapter 232

The truth about Zhuo Yanyan came to light. Years later, the county government opened a trial, Zhou Dazhi was determined, and Aunt Jin was executed as the prison marquis.But people paid more attention to Pan Xiu's trial. The magistrate of Wanxia County weighed it up and down, and felt that it was too heavy, and it was unjustifiable not to punish him. 500 taels.

There is no objection to the crime of manslaughter. Although Zhuo Yanyan was killed by Pan Xiu, Pan Xiu did not intend to kill Zhuo Yanyan, but a response inspired by fear. It was just a wrong judgment that caused irreversible consequences .In this matter, Aunt Jin was very hateful for her own self-interest. Zhou Dazhi first dug people's graves, and then insulted and imprisoned a good woman, a heinous crime.Meeting a tolerant judge, Pan Xiu might be acquitted. Wanxia County Magistrate's sentencing was also meant to appease the Zhuo family.

After the lawsuit was settled, the Zhuo family moved out not long after.

The daughter is dead, and Aunt Jin deserves what she deserves, but the reputation of the Zhuo family has also been affected.What's more important is the youngest son who is still in his infancy, how innocent the youngest son is, but has a sinful biological mother, how will he live in the future?Master Zhuo can only move and stay away from this place.

These are the aftermath.

On New Year's Eve, Mu Qingyan cooked a table of dishes and drank with Wen Jixue. He couldn't restrain himself and got drunk.He didn't get up until after three poles the next day, and it was quiet inside and outside the house, Wen Jixue was not there, waiting for the grooming to finish, Gao Tian brought a bowl of boiled dumplings, and said that Wen Jixue was entertaining guests in the front hall.

It turned out that it was Lin Jia and Yuan Cheng who came to pay New Year's greetings.

Although these two people did not work together as officials, they had heard of each other in the early years. This time they came to Wanxia County to investigate cases together. new year.No matter in age or status, Mu Qingyan is different from these two, and they are not close after all.

It was a bit of a surprise that the two came to pay New Year's greetings on the first day of the new year.

When Mu Qingyan came to the front hall, Wen Jixue and the two had a good atmosphere.

"Sorry, I was too late last night because I got too drunk."

"Naturally, we have to drink some wine on New Year's Eve, and so do Brother Yuan and I." After spending some time with them, Lin Jia could see that Mu Qingyan and Wen Jixue had a close relationship, and out of the habit of investigating cases, he paid special attention to the details , the perception is also relatively sharp, but it is precisely because of the keen perception that he feels that Wen Jixue is mysterious and dangerous, so he cut off his curiosity and only treats him as a "colleague".

Yuan Cheng looks clumsy, but he is not stupid, and he is from a military background, so he feels more clearly when facing Wen Jixue.

Lin and Jia came over, talked about Zhuo Yanyan's case, and asked many details.

When talking about the case, the three of them had a lot to talk about.

After Lin Jia and Yuan Cheng left, Mu Qingyan said: "I always feel that they haven't finished talking."

"It's fine if you don't have any malicious intentions, just treat them as ordinary friends." Wen Jixue observed carefully, and felt that Lin Jia and Lin Jia were not a threat, and their character and behavior were good.

In the third day of the junior high school, some government servants who were dispatched came back. Because the places they went to were near, they came back quickly.After that, two or three batches came back one after another, but the news they brought back was not good.The imperial envoy hadn't returned yet, but the remaining principals were registering, and Mu Qingyan, Lin Jia and Yuan Cheng naturally listened to the whole process.

Because the disappearance of Li Ziying and others was determined to be a crime of revenge, the family members of the victims who were once official are the suspects.This time I visited the family members of these victims, but they either said they didn’t know anything, and there were conclusive witnesses and nothing to do with the case, or the whole family disappeared.

After the end of the fifteenth day, the imperial envoys regrouped, and more news came back.

It is known that three companies have disappeared. According to the time of disappearance, it is likely to be related to the case.These three families have a characteristic, the population is simple, and those killed in the official way are either the only son and grandson of the family, or the man who is the pillar of the family. If something happens to them, the old man in the family can't hold on and falls ill and dies. There is also a family whose wife remarried. A family broke up and owed huge debts for various reasons.

Another month later, all those sent out came back.

Mu Qingyan was idle all day long. After all, he was a non-staff member, but Lin Jia and Yuan Cheng were in charge of the criminal department, and were responsible for collecting and sorting out the people who might go to each family after they disappeared.Zhu Yi was involved in this matter. If Zhu Yi got involved, some things would not be easy to investigate, but with the pressure from above, what should be done must be done.

Another one, when I woke up one morning, the imperial guard was missing a few people, and these people were originally from the God Detective Division.You don't need to ask to know that someone who will replace Wen Mingyu must have come.Earlier, when Zhu Yi took a chance, the God Detective Division no longer followed the imperial envoy, but acted on his own.

In mid-February, Pang Zhong suddenly ordered to pack up his luggage and return to Beijing to reply.

Wen Jixue said privately: "Pang Zhong didn't dare to return to Beijing like this, he must have got a hint."

Actually, the case in Wanxia County could be concluded a few years ago. If you want to find the murderer who killed Li Ziying and the others, with Zhu Yi's advice to deal with the aftermath, can it be so easy to find them?These days, although household registration is strictly controlled, if one is determined to abandon one's foundation and leave one's hometown, there is always a way to change one's appearance.This is also the reason why Pang Zhong is "leisurely" in the hotel every day, there is nothing to do if he has energy, even if he has to spend a lot of energy and time, it is useless even if Concubine Li is staring at him.

Even so, if the murderer has not been brought to justice, it cannot be regarded as a successful completion. Pang Zhong easily dared not return to Beijing to hand over the order, and would rather delay it first.Now the order to return to Beijing is similar to what Wen Jixue said, and he has a bottom line in his heart, so he doesn't want to spend any more time.

Mu Qingyan could only follow him to the same capital.

Arriving in the capital, a group of people entered the palace to face the saint.Of course, the emperor was not so easy to meet, Mu Qingyan followed Lin Jia and others to kneel in the outer hall, only the imperial envoy Pang Zhong was summoned to the imperial study.This time Mu Qingyan didn't come, and it was impossible for all the attendants to come in. Even Mu Qingyan was just a commoner, and he could only step into the palace gate as a non-staff member of the imperial envoy, and there were no more.

Mu Qingyan really didn't like this honor. He had been in this world for so long, and it was the first time he knelt down. He knelt for more than half an hour and still didn't dare to move.In this palace, every step of the way is well-behaved. I don't know how many pairs of eyes are staring at him at the moment. If something is wrong, it is a crime of disrespect.

Mu Qingyan only hoped that Pang Zhong's side would end soon, so that he could leave the palace sooner.

On the other hand, he is not in a hurry to go back after returning to the capital. He has to think carefully about the matters of the Xue family and the Yan family.Having been involved in this muddy water, naturally the Yan family's affairs cannot be turned a blind eye. Of course, within his power, he is willing to find justice for the Yan family.

One Wen Kui and one Wu Shou, he felt that these two families would not dare to have any personal relationship.Even in Wen Jixue's memory, the two families have no contact.However, the Xue family case had huge aftermath, and the Yan family was the first to bear the brunt. What role did the emperor play this time?

For the Xue family, the emperor just pushed the boat along the way, but what about the Yan family?

Compared with the Xue family, apart from the fact that they have many "partners", they also have emperor teachers, and they are descendants. How many families like this have been left behind since ancient times?But the queen has no sons, so logically speaking, it is the safest.

The most feared thing in the world is the violation of common sense, which often indicates that the hidden waves are more turbulent.

"The emperor has a decree to declare: Fenglin County, Mu Qingyan's imperial study will have an audience."

In the quiet palace hall, the voice of the inner prisoner suddenly sounded, but the content of the words surprised everyone.

Mu Qingyan's heart sank as well, but he calmed down quickly and followed the inner eunuch to the imperial study.

The inner eunuch who led the way was a young eunuch, about fifteen or sixteen, with a round face and slightly fat, smiling and kind.But the people in this palace can't look at appearances the most.Mu Qingyan lowered his eyes slightly, without squinting, but the little eunuch looked at him a few times.

After passing through layers of palace gates, one arrives at the Royal Study Room.

"Eunuch Hai, Mu Qingyan has arrived." The little eunuch reported back to the chief eunuch standing outside the palace gate.

Eunuch Hai's hair is half white, and he looks very healthy. This is also an old man by the emperor's side.

Eunuch Hai nodded, glanced at Mu Qingyan, and went inside to report.However, Eunuch Hai frowned, thinking that Mu Qingyan was quite good-looking, but he didn't think too much about it. He just sighed that such a handsome man could be raised in a poor family in the countryside.It's okay to have a good appearance, what's rare is the spirit, and the calm and indifferent demeanor.

This is the palace, and it is to face the saint.

Not to mention country boys, even courtiers should be cautious when meeting the emperor.

Isn't Mu Qingyan nervous?Of course he was nervous, after all, he was going to meet the emperor, who was in charge of life and death in the world.However, he was not a native of the dynasty, and he couldn't feel the fear from the bottom of his heart. In addition to his habit, he had to manage his emotions even when he saw a big man, so he showed such indifference.

However, Mu Qingyan realized something was wrong at this moment.

"Xuan, Fenglin sees Mu Qingyan!"

Mu Qingyan lowered his head, showing a little nervousness.

After entering the door, he did not dare to look directly at Tianyan, at most he could see the position of the emperor's shoulder, and bowed down according to the rules.From the corner of the eye, I could see other people in the imperial study room, not just Pang Zhong.

"You are Mu Qingyan from Fenglin County? I have heard about Mu Xiaoshen's famous name in the deep palace." The emperor is old and sick this year, but his voice is still loud and there is a slight appreciation in his tone .

"The humble name in the countryside will not be abandoned by the emperor."

"Who are in your family?" asked the emperor.

"There are elder brothers and sisters, two younger brothers, and a younger sister."

"Are you eighteen this year?"

"Back to the emperor, Caomin will be seventeen this year."

"You're only 17 years old, you really are a hero." The emperor nodded.

The topic ended here, and then Mu Qingyan followed Pang Zhong and retreated.

Don't just say a few words that are not nutritious when you see the emperor, but if you spread the word, you don't know how many people's jaws will be shocked.Face saint is a rare honor. I don't know how many officials in Beijing will never see the emperor's face, let alone talk to the emperor.Mu Qingyan is just a commoner in the countryside, so what is his reputation?Now that I have met the emperor, to be honest, in the eyes of outsiders, I have registered with the emperor and know such a person.

When Pang Zhong left the imperial study room, he didn't say anything to Mu Qingyan, he just walked out in silence.

Mu Qingyan was also thinking about the emperor's intentions.

He didn't believe that the emperor was acting on a whim. Even if it was, someone must have deliberately guided it. Otherwise, the emperor would be too busy with government affairs. How could he see such a humble man?What's more, the emperor's attitude is quite intriguing.It stands to reason that Mu Qingyan has a good appearance and is young. As an emperor, shouldn't he ask about studying?But the emperor didn't ask at all.

However, it was a good thing that the emperor didn't ask, and it saved a lot of trouble.
