13 old accounts
Two days later, the people from the Liwen Institute arrived and Zhong Xie went to greet him personally. However, unexpectedly, this time there was Kong Xiangwen, the deputy envoy of the Censorate of the Liwen Institute. A case investigated by the Liwen Institute actually alarmed the fourth-rank deputy envoy. Moreover, although the Qingping Administration Commission now has four deputy envoys, Kong Xiangwen is very different.
This person is the confidant of Qi Yi, the governor of Qingping.
Zhong Xie keenly noticed something, but if he had not been the family situation behind him, he would not even stand beside Kong Xiangwen, even if he had doubts in his heart, he would not have asked questions at will.
The carriage curtain was lifted, and the officials of the consulting office, who followed the horses all the way, quickly got off the horse and helped him. Kong Xiangwen raised his hand and said that there was no need to, so he lifted his robe and got off the car.
This person is over 40 years old now. He was the old man who was promoted to the top after the Qingping Pre-Government Authority Xie Jingsheng was transferred to Jingpu in the early years of Yongle. He has been working in Qingping since he became an official and is most familiar with Qingping's subordinates.
He turned his eyes here, saw Zhong Xie first, and immediately passed by everyone, and came to talk to Zhong Xie directly.
"Ru Chen." Kong Xiangwen intimately called Zhong Xie's word, and said, "You will be responsible for this tour. You have been delayed here for the past two days. It is the negligence of the Censor. You are waiting, and when you and I return together, I will explain it to the Lord."
"Master Kong." Zhong Xie saluted and raised his hand to lead the way: "The murder case should be urgent, and the official and the master should talk to him while walking."
Kong Xiangwen laughed and led the way, saying, "Let's go. I have read the case on this road. I wonder if the woman has been imprisoned and imprisoned?"
Zhong Xie paused and said, "There has not been a member of the legal institute and the coroner has not investigated it. Liu Wanchen still does not know the reason for his death. According to the law, this woman can only be supervised and cannot be imprisoned."
The two of them had already entered the yamen. Kong Xiangwen smiled when she heard this. He stopped and raised his hand to point Zhong Xie.
"You, Ruchen, you often study in Kyoto, but don't know the methods of this place. This case is clear at a glance, and even if you wait for the coroner, it doesn't matter to our investigation process. The woman's indeed pushed Liu Wanchen, and Liu Wanchen was indeed killed because of this. If you lose your wits for a while, such evil people will make trouble." He said: "This place's sub-guards are often familiar with the locals, and they may secretly engage in private bribery. Once the case is delayed for a long time, the above-mentioned orders will be difficult to get rid of, and it will be a troublesome again. Do you know?"
Zhong Xie frowned slightly between his eyebrows and said, "Even if this is the case, 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 watch, there will be a dispute in this case." He also said: "Do you know who this woman is?"
"Shi Family in Lianti Village, Changhe Town."
Kong Xiangwen laughed out loud in an unknown way, and Zhong Xie's chest stagnated, and he felt a little bored.
Kong Xiangwen said, "This Shi family has never adhered to the wife's decree since they were widowed. They have an affair with the people in the neighboring villages. Their name is very famous. The sisters on Huajie Street in Changhe Town may not be more famous than her. Moreover, she has a son, who is nineteen years old and is a disciple in the Mengguan in this town. This Mengguan has accumulated power for a long time in Changhe Town. You said that we will investigate from the top and the bottom, and the little ghosts below will live here all year round. If they offend people, how can they live in the future? However, aren't we officials just asking for justice? Therefore, according to what I said, I will immediately supervise Shi's prison and punish Shi, and resolve the case before early winter. This is both clean and neat and not difficult for everyone below. Can you and I return to the house early, right?"
Finally, he said earnestly: "Ruchen, you have just taken office, so it's okay if you don't know much. In a long time, you will be able to understand everything I said today. Besides, Liu Wanchen." He pointed to it, "Not only can you delay it, but you also have to protect his body from being safe."
After going around, I was afraid that the last sentence I wanted to say. No matter what the reason was, Shi Widow must be killed! Because Liu Wanchen was afraid that someone was involved in the mansion, he asked Kong Xiangwen to come and warn him to stop meddling in other people's business.
Before he could reply, Zhong Xie simply pulled his hand back slowly and hid under his official robe.
Su Shuo kept squatting on the news. When he learned that Kong Xiangwen was coming, he turned around and went to tell his master. Meng Chen served the tea and put it on, saying, "When will this Liu Wanchen...be there be any relationship with Qingping Mansion?"
I'm afraid the relationship is still pretty good.
"I have never heard of it." Su Shuo said: "Besides, according to Liu Wanchen's temperament, since Qingping Mansion is the backer, why should we be afraid of our small temple? He is accustomed to relying on others and must immediately find Xiao Liu to find the old accounts."
Meng Chen slowly turned the tea cover and asked again: "Can Liu Qianling have any relationship with Qingping Mansion?"
Su Shuo quietly turned around and said, "If Liu Qianling has a good relationship with Qingping Mansion, then." He whispered, "How can Xiaoliu survive until now?"
"Not necessarily." Meng Chen finally lifted the tea cover and said, "The Qingping Administration Commissioner was not Qi Yi, but Xie Jingsheng. Xie Jingsheng..." He curled his lips, "Forget it, I mentioned you but don't recognize me. You only know that Xie Jingsheng will definitely not have any relationship with Liu. Now that Qi Yi is in office, it is not impossible to hold his position firmly and settle the score later."
However, it is still wrong.
The biggest suspicious point in this case is why Liu Wanchen died? Is it really that Miss Su pushes it or Shi Widow's scissor? But the disciples who arrived first could see clearly that even though the wounds were terrible, they were not vital. Looking at the body, there was no fatal injury on the back of the head.
How did he die so just?
It seems like it's time to be settled.
And, how did he find the Widow's yard while drunk?
This suspicion has not been resolved yet, and the news that Shi Widow was imprisoned was first brought to prison. When Shi Yu arrived at the yamen, the people were already in prison and had not even seen each other. Su Shuo asked with an acquaintance of the Si Prison Office, but he only got a sentence to follow the rules.
Zhong You watched Su Shuo talk to his acquaintance for a while, and turned to the yamen.
Kong Xiangwen's carriage was parked at the door. The horse was an extremely ordinary horse, and the carriage was an extremely ordinary car. It was still a bit windy at this moment, but the curtain of the car did not move at all, blocking the situation inside the car to death.
Zhong You moved his steps, and walked around the carriage at some distance.
"Sir?" Su Shuo turned around and saw him looking at the carriage, and said, "That is Lord Kong's carriage." He said, "It's... simple enough."
Zhong You seemed to smile, but his smile only slipped away and said slowly: "Yes." Then he asked: "Is the coroner of Qingping Mansion here?"
Su Shuo hesitated and shook his head and said, "I haven't seen it."
Zhong You sighed softly, and said, "This Lord Kong acted thunderously, but he went beyond the process. I don't know the cause of death, and the coroner never showed up, but took the person first." He tied up his blue shirt sleeves and said, "It's not in line with the rules."
"Only I am the one who invites the coroner to come..."
"No." Zhong You said: "Mengguan is not affiliated with the Censorate, and is Shi Yu's relatives and friends. Why should I touch the body? Unless the Liu family asks the coroner to conduct an examination, the body will be delayed in a few days, and even if the coroner of the Censor comes, there will be no matter what."
what to do?
Could it be that the case was closed in a hurry and Widow Shi would be compensated?
After returning to the Meng Pavilion, Zhong You and Meng Chen walked around the small yard twice, without calling anyone else, and even Shi Yu stayed in the Pavilion.
Zhong You did not enter the house, he just stood at the steps and looked inside the door.
"Sir is a person who is used to storms." Meng Chen stood aside with his hands behind his back and asked, "The place here is the quietest now, and I can only listen to Mr.'s advice here."
"I made a special trip to ask Uncle Meng to accompany me." Zhong You said: "I have no ability, I don't know how to investigate the case, and I have no right to intervene. I only have questions and want to ask Uncle Meng to solve my doubts."
"Sir, please speak."
Zhong You was silent and said, "Can Liu Wanchen meet Shi Yu?"
"knowledge."
"Who is Liu Qianling?"
"Liu Wanchen's younger brother, the best literary talent in Qingshui Township in his early years." Meng Chen seemed to guess what he would ask, and said, "I was once a classmate with Shi Tingzhou, the father of Shi Liu."
Both of them were quiet.
After a long time, Zhong You said, "How did Liu Qianling die?"
The other end.
Shi Yu sat in the corridor, and a cat ran over and rubbed his arm. Shi Yu raised his hand and touched its ears lightly, his deep eyes empty.
Su Shuo was thinking about saying something, but Shi Yu spoke first.
He said, "She can't kill anyone." His fingertips touched the cat's ear again, and said, "She doesn't have the courage."
"It would be great if this Lord Kong knew it too." Su Shuo crossed his legs, "If so..."
"Brother." Shi Yu stopped. Seeing that he was not moving, the cat turned around again and ran away. He whispered: "Liu Wanchen saw it."
Su Shuo was stunned.
Shi Yu's eyes were so deep that it was clearly reflected in his astonishment. He heard Shi Yu's voice calmly and said, "When I killed Liu Qianling, Liu Wanchen saw it. The entrance of the Liu family's cellar was frozen. Liu Qianling slid down and knocked his head. I broke the ice edge and passed through his eyes. He was still alive and kept calling for help. I blocked his mouth."
When the cool breeze blows, the hair on the forehead is broken.
The autumn day in the afternoon is warm, but it is creepy in this cool breeze.
Shi Yu said: "Then cut his throat."
Su Shuo rushed over, pressed Shi Yu's body down, and shouted sternly: "What are you talking about?" He said angrily: "Shi Yu, don't say it again!" The five big and thick men's hands were a little shaking. He forced Shi Yu's shoulder and said hurriedly: "What's wrong with you!"
Shi Yu pushed his hand away, straightened his face with a little indifferent, and said, "Liu Wanchen heard the sound. He could see clearly at the entrance of the cellar. When Liu Qianling was still alive, he was already there. He did not come down, nor did he make a sound. But he saw everything."
"So what, now he, others-"
"But he dares to find my mother." Shi Yu said calmly: "He has been hiding in Qingshui Town, and he doesn't even dare to approach Lianti Village. As long as I return to Changhe Town, he will retract back to Qingshui Town. He dare not show up, he is afraid of becoming Liu Qianling. Then why is he coming again? Now, when I am still alive, is someone telling him that I am not here, or is someone telling him that I am dead?" Shi Yu said slowly: "Brother, some people in this matter want him to die, and they have to drag him into my mother, drag out Liu Qianling, and even drag out Shi Tingzhou."
The man who killed Liu Wanchen.
That's this person.
Su Shuo had already stared at him and said rudely: "Liu Qianling's animal behavior, who is making up old accounts for him? After his death, Liu Wanchen's decision was the final word of Liu Wanchen, who can kill him..."
Su Shuo's voice came to an abrupt end.
"Liu Qinghuan." Shi Yu's black eyes were sharp, "There is another Liu Qinghuan. The Censor postponed the coroner's examination, so I can only confirm one thing."
