Chapter IV: The Tribute Case
After waiting for more than an hour.
It's nearly late at night.
Bang bang, there was a knock on the door of the Shen Mansion.
Shen Lufu hurriedly went to open the door.
Squeak –
The door was pushed wide open, and then a blazing fire lit up.
More than a dozen soldiers wearing iron helmets, half-armor, and dark red robes carried torches and escorted three shackled prisoners.
Shen Lian couldn't help but be stunned.
On the armor plate on the chest of each soldier, the word 'Qian' is carved.
This is the regular army of the Xicheng Prefecture Military Division.
It stands to reason that either Han Tong personally escorted the prisoners, or Liu Neng sent his subordinates to the Criminal Division to escort the prisoners.
How can it be a military escort?
"Who is Shen Lian?" asked the school officer who was in front of him.
"I am. Shen Lian hugged his fists in salute.
"On the orders of the prefect, escort three important prisoners here, where will they be placed?"
The school official said to Shen Lian expressionlessly.
Shen Lufu hurriedly came over to answer the call and led everyone down to the underground private prison.
All arrangements were made and the three prisoners were taken into custody.
The school official took out the signature, and Shen Lian wrote down the acceptance clause.
More than a dozen soldiers returned to the outside of the house, and the officer stopped, still expressionless, and said:
"The prefect has something to say, do you want to hear it?"
Shen Lian winked at Shen Lufu.
Shen Lufu stepped forward with a smile, stuffed ten taels of silver tickets into the sleeve of the school official without a trace, and arched his hand:
"The military master worked hard, and the small family failed to prepare tea, so he was lazy. ”
The officer's face softened again, and he nodded:
"The prefect said that these three key criminals all have major cases. Within ten days, Shen Lian must be properly interrogated and one of them is detected. ”
"If it succeeds, from now on, the private prison here will not be under the jurisdiction of the Criminal Division, but will be directly under the rule of the prefect. ”
"If it fails, Shen Lian will be degraded to the people and will never be hired!"
Shen Lufu was frightened when he heard this, and looked at Shen Lian with a sad face.
Shen Lian remained silent and changed his fists:
"Criminal Division Han Tong is my uncle, why isn't the Criminal Division escorting prisoners?"
When the school officer heard this, his face softened even more, and he whispered:
"Master Han and Lord Liu of the Criminal Division had a conflict and a fight, which was very ugly. When the prefect learned of this, he ordered Han and Liu to be grounded for ten days. ”
Shen Lian frowned.
The school officer turned around after speaking, but turned around and added:
"For the sake of you being Lord Han's son and nephew, I'll say one more thing. Lord Han beat Lord Liu because Lord Liu wanted to escort the four prisoners. Han Da is not popular, so do it. ”
The school officer left in a hurry with his troops.
Shen Lufu looked at Shen Lian worriedly:
"Ten days to solve the case, this is too urgent! Young master, how is it good?"
Shen Lian pondered.
Liu Neng wanted to send four prisoners to squeeze into three cells, but was beaten up by Han Tong angrily, and then went to the prefect.
The prefect sent the military department to escort the three key criminals to solve one of the cases within 10 days.
It's the same difficulty, but the purpose of the difficulty is different.
"Lord Prefect, this is trying to test my abilities?"
Shen Lian got the answer and said to Shen Lufu:
"Fauber, don't disturb me for three days, whatever happens. I'm going to keep a private prison for three days, and you're responsible for delivering food and drink every day, okay?"
Shen Lufu was stunned, but then said:
"Young master, don't worry, the old servant will do his best, and he won't dare to make mistakes!"
In the prison controlled by Shen Lian, only prisoners who have been held for three days can be included in the black prison list.
Therefore, Shen Lian's countermeasure is to survive three days first.
Inclusion in the black prison list is the only way to know how much the prisoner's reward is.
Only then can we know the state, details, and weaknesses of the prisoners.
What's more, Shen Lian has a 'Plunder Fake Body Card' and a 'Deadly Dodge Card'.
I'm not afraid of what moths the prisoners are playing.
Such a day.
Two days.
Three days.
There is no danger and no danger, and it will be passed smoothly.
Shen Lian sat at the wooden interrogation table, closed his eyes and waited for the time to end.
"Ding. Main quest 1 completed;
"The host gains 'Vulnerability Mystery Card*5'. ”
"The host obtains 'Black Jade Life Renewal Balm*3'. ”
When Shen Lian heard this wonderful voice, he immediately opened the Purgatory panel to check it.
Name: Shen Lian;
Status: Civilian;
Bounty: 1,900 taels of silver;
Items: Weakness Mystery Card*6, Plunder Avatar Card*2, Fatal Evasion Card*3, Black Jade Life Renewal Cream*3;
Exercises: None;
List of Black Prisons: seven;
Other functions: lottery opening;
Other functions: mall opening;
Shen Lian's eyes were focused on the black prison list:
Pan Zhang (bounty of three hundred taels of silver);
Bao Shihu (bounty of three hundred taels of silver);
Fei Yuqing (a reward of 1,000 taels of silver);
。。
Unexpectedly, three prisoners brought a bounty of 1,600 taels of silver.
I don't think of this person named Fei Yuqing, who has a thousand taels for one person!
"The case he carries is not small. ”
"Because of what? Is it because of the joke 'hey, hey, hey'?"
Shen Lian felt that if he wanted to be appreciated by the prefect and get out of the criminal department in his private prison, then solving this Fei Yuqing's case was the best credit.
Thinking of this, Shen Lian reached out and took the case file that was escorted together.
was about to look through Fei Yuqing's case.
"Ding. ”
"Daily Mission Trigger:"
"Description: Complete the prefect's task to solve the case within a time limit;"
"Achievement: Reward 'Plunder Avatar Card*1';"
"Achievement: Reward '10 Draws*2';"
Shen Lian got the prompt, nodded, and continued to consult the case file.
Fei Yuqing, male, 23 years old, from Xicheng Prefecture, Luodu. He was arrested and imprisoned on suspicion of the theft of the tribute from the 'Xiang Ayaji Weaving Workshop'.
Xiang Ayaji Weaving Workshop is the most famous weaving family in Luodu Xicheng Province. Due to the imminent birthday of the Empress Dowager, she was ordered by the Ministry of Industry to make a batch of silk weaving tributes.
Among the tributes, there was a set of dragon robes, a set of xia clothes, some jewels, etc., which were stolen before the end of the month.
The prefect was furious and arrested more than 30 people involved in the case.
However, since the case occurred, none of the people involved in the case have confessed.
Fei Yuqing is the most suspicious, and he is also dead.
The tribute case became an unsolved case.
The boss of Xiang Ayaji was worried that the case would not be solved, and he would not be able to cover it, so that the emperor was known by someone with a heart, and it was inevitable that a big disaster would occur, so he asked to withdraw the case.
If the case is withdrawn, the prefect's face will be lost.
In line with the principle of a dead horse as a live horse doctor, Fei Yuqing was sent to the Shen family's private prison.
Solved the case, a great achievement.
If the case can't be solved, that is, the subordinates are incompetent, and they should be punished.
Shen Lian finished reading the case file, and after closing it, a ghostly light flashed in his pupils.
'Verdict True Eyes' open!
He stared at Fei Yuqing's list of black prisons.
"Name: Fei Yuqing;"
"Status: Civilian;"
"Weakness: Shenke Lake Falling Feather Beach;"
"Reward: 1,000 taels of silver;"
"Loyalty: 0%;"
Shen Lian stared at the 'Shenke Lake Falling Feather Beach', this weakness represents the most concerning, or the most fearful, or the most hidden secret in Fei Yuqing's heart.
"Why does he care most about 'Falling Feather Beach'?"
Falling Feather Beach is a sandy beach on the easternmost shore of Shenke Lake.
According to a hundred years of folk legend, no matter what falls on the falling feather beach, it only takes one night to sink into the lake and disappear forever.
Even fishermen who hunt fish are reluctant to pass through there.
Therefore, Falling Feather Beach has always been uninhabited, barren and decaying.
