Chapter 119: Bureau (1)
These events must have gone awry because the most critical thing was missing.
The Si sisters and Shangguan Mao are both for "Yin and Yang Technique", so is it possible that Chen Changshou and Ji Yujiao are also for "Yin Yang Technique"? Is it because of this thing that Si Yanling was killed?
But wasn't Si Yanling killed because of that box of secret letters?
Cui Ning was stunned, could the "Yin-Yang Technique" they were looking for not be the real Yin-Yang Technique?
Once, she and the second senior brother went down the mountain to help the big family get rid of the demon, and the second senior brother asked her to cooperate and fool her, and turned around and told the sΓΉ family that they had used the secret technique of this sect to get rid of the demon, and they could rest assured in the future. Si Yanling has so many secret letters in his hands, he can blackmail dozens of court officials, if he lets these people cheat for himself......
Maybe she was wrong from the beginning, Si Yanling was killed, she subconsciously thought that he was a victim, or maybe he was the one who originally harmed people, and was finally retaliated against?
Cui Ning shuddered, unable to believe her guess, because she remembered very well that Si Yanling's second prophecy was the flood of the Yangtze River, and tens of thousands of people died in that disaster.
Can disasters be predicted? Can they be man-made?
At this time, Wei Qian was also checking the Yangtze River water pattern and embankment construction records. The rise of water in the river is seasonal, which can be said to be relatively regular, but it is a matter of more or less each year, referring to a large number of records, combined with the precipitation of the year, it can predict the occurrence of floods on a certain extent.
If Si Yanling is really a big liar who deceives the world, then he has offended too many people, including Zuo Rin.
Wei Qian searched for an afternoon, and finally found out who was responsible for building the dam in the year when Si Yanling predicted the flood.
"Wang Chenhuan. Wei Qian recalled that he didn't have much impression of this person.
He put down what he was doing and went to the ministry again to check Wang Chenhuan's records. And by the way, I checked his origin and relatives and friends.
This person comes from a humble background and has no background, and he can be a county magistrate in Jiangnan Province, completely relying on his personal skills and means. However, there was no handle on this person in the secret letter left by Si Yanling.
If it wasn't there in the first place, it was most likely destroyed.
Who is most likely to destroy it?
It's either Si Yanling or Zuo Rin. Zuo Rin kept this secret letter for many years, and it has not been made public. Is there something else hidden? It is not yet certain.
When he first got the secret letter, he just guessed that Si Yanling didn't just get it by accident, and he was just skeptical about Zuo Rin. What really made him start to suspect was precisely because of this attack.
Zuo Rin looks very sincere, quite a feeling that people are in their twilight years and are about to die, but if they are too much, they will not leak. On the contrary, it is suspicious.
The first time he visited him, he was already well prepared to give out a qiΔ and a plate. Wei Qian's experience is not as rich as his, and he can't see through whether he is acting or not, and the second time, he seems to be an unpredictable prophet. Knowing that he was suspicious, he immediately came to a place where he was attacked in retaliation.
Wei Qian remained silent and handed over the things. Nominally, he sent someone over to protect his safety, but in fact, it was mostly for surveillance.
It's the fox that always shows its tail. Something that has been done always leaves a trail.
Wei Qian thought about all the officials in Chang'an City and found a few people who were in the same year as Wang Chenhuan or classmates, and one of them happened to be Li Yu.
Li Yu was a classmate with him and was a few years younger than him, so the imperial examination was not a session.
Wei Qian immediately went over to ask him.
"Wang Chenhuan?" Li Yu didn't have to think about it, and snorted, "This person is not inconspicuous, he looks average, but his official career is much smoother than mine, ha, God has eyes, and he has taken him in, so it can be seen that shit luck can't go casually." Why, he was also involved in the Si case?"
"Just suspicion. Wei Qian hesitated for a moment, and then told his guess about Si Yanling.
Li Yu was leaning on the chair casually, and when he heard this, he gradually sat up straight, and his expression became cold, "If that's the case, it's really cheap for him to die so easily." β
"Have you found the two letters that Shangguan Mao said?" Wei Qian asked.
Li Yu said, "I found it, one was damp, and it was almost ruined, and only the divination note remained." I have checked with many people that it is indeed Si Yanling's handwriting. β
"I speculate that Si Yanling is just a puppet, and there must be a manipulator behind it. The so-called "Yin-Yang Technique" is just a code word, he wanted to wash his hands and write a letter of admonition, but he died before the letter was sent. Wei Qian's fingers lightly tapped on the armrest of the chair and smoothed through the three cases from the beginning, "The letter called the other party 'Er Wait', obviously not a person, I thought it was likely to refer to the Si clan." β
Li Yu continued, "After Si Yanling committed suicide or was killed, the murderer found that the secret letter was missing, and he couldn't find it, so he killed all the people who might know?"
If he said this, then Zuo Rin could basically rule out suspicion, because the secret letter was in his hands, and there was no need to do more, unless there was some special reason.
"I went to Xingzhou Sijiazhuang to see it, and I think the main reason for the destruction may be to vent anger or revenge. Wei Qian restored the process of the Sijiazhuang tragedy a little, and found that the murderer may have the strength to kill in one fell swoop, but they still deliberately gave the Si people the opportunity to struggle, so that they gathered in the ancestral hall to resist, this process, the murderer is completely the slaughterer, and there are countless wounds on the bodies of the people who resist in the ancestral hall, but there is only one fatal, and that wound is extremely accurate.
Like prey, they killed the Si people after venting their anger on them, or after killing them, they vented their anger on the corpses.
"If you speculate that Zuo Rin may be the murderer behind the murder of the Si sisters?" Li Yu refuted his point of view, "I don't think it's possible, these little ladies have changed their names and surnames, and he doesn't have the hands and eyes of the heavens, how do you know that they have come to the Hun Tian Prison? Unless he has eyeliner in the Hun Tian Prison, but he has been away from officialdom for some years, what is he doing in the Hun Tian Prison? You said that Ling Wei did not commit suicide, I can tell you for sure that she did deliberately disguise herself as a suicide after being murdered. He would deliberately make a big deal out of it? More than 10 years later, there was no need for him to do anything more. β
"Or maybe the Si sisters found something?" Wei Qian still felt that Zuo Rin was very suspicious.
"He can't look at the Si sisters all day long, even if they find something, how can he know, I bet it's not him. Li Yu boldly took out a penny and put it on the table.
Wei Qian lowered his eyes and glanced at it, "Do you dare to bet more?"
"A bun?" Li Yu asked tentatively, and seeing that he didn't answer, he said, "One bun and one steamed bun can't be more!"
"Good. Wei Qian found out that this person was scared of a hard life, and he was terrible.
They chatted for a while, but they were unexpectedly quite speculative.
Wei Qian returned to the supervision area, and when he saw that Cui Ning was not there, he changed to Junru, "Where did Cui Zuo go?"
Lu Renjian looked at him with an expression of "you have a big deal", and sat on the side waiting to watch the show.
Yi Junru was arrogant, his subordinates couldn't be assigned yet, so he told the truth, "I'll send her to see Zuo Rin'......."
Wei Qian's face changed suddenly, and it was terrifyingly dark. He usually doesn't have many expressions, but he is very talkative, hard-working, and lets them leisurely drink tea and talk in the Supervision Department, he is tired and tired, and he has no temper at all, but recently his temper has become bigger and bigger!
"I asked her to come back and send a carriage to pick her up. Yi Junru explained, but in his heart, he thought, this is already the ancestor offering, and he is not allowed to do any dirty work, what else do you want?
Wei Qian didn't say a word, and strode out of the house. (To be continued) R580
