The murderer is also a poor man. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info

It was a young man in his early twenties, singing martial arts in the troupe. It is somewhat similar to plums, and they are all very good young people. His parents died early, and he only had one sister, and the brother and sister depended on each other. His sister sings Cai Dan in the troupe and takes a witty and funny route, but she is a beautiful girl. Their brother and sister have been walking around Shangyuan County with the troupe for many years, barely able to support their families.

A few days ago, his sister went out by chance and was seen by the county magistrate. When this girl is plain on weekdays, she is a beautiful girl without those oil paints. The county magistrate fell in love with her, so he asked the dogs around him to spread the word, wanting to accept the other party as a concubine. He does this kind of thing often, and there is basically no time when he is unsuccessful, the difference is only in the amount of money spent. He felt that the other party had no reason to refuse, not to mention that the other party's profession was still ninth-rate.

It's a pity that the girl is ambitious, and she doesn't want to be a concubine for the county princess, but wants to marry a good man as a wife in the future. Seeing that he had not completed the task assigned by his master, the dog-legged man felt that he couldn't get down on his face, so he turned his face, coerced and seduced, and what he said was also very absolute. He checked the girl's background and directly threatened her brother and the troupe. Their troupe has always only been active in Shangyuan County, and if they offend the county master, everyone's livelihood will not be able to sustain.

The dog leg shook off the cruel words, thinking that the girl should know what to choose, so he left proudly, leaving the day of sending a small sedan chair to pick up people before leaving. Who knew that the girl was a fierce person, she couldn't stand the threat, and she had a great hatred for the county master and his dog's legs, so in a fit of anger, she ran to the gate of the county government and committed suicide by hitting the pillar.

Before she died, she cried out loudly about her grievances. At that time, it was the time when there were the most passers-by in front of the county yamen, and her death attracted countless onlookers, which caused a lot of turmoil. Later, the prefect's yamen sent someone to forcibly suppress the matter.

The master beside the county master had already left at that time and went back to his hometown to mourn, and the two stewards were fighting lively, and no one took this matter seriously. The county magistrate thought that he was not guilty, but the dog's leg did not pass on the word well, and beat the other party with twenty boards, fined him three months of money, and gave the troupe twenty taels of silver as compensation, so he felt that the matter had been resolved.

Where did he think that his brother hated him to the bone in his heart. Even if you want to put the responsibility on the dog's leg, this is not a fluttering twenty boards and three months of monthly money that can make up for the past. The troupe was afraid of causing trouble, so they suppressed the elder brother and did not allow him to go to the county government to make trouble. The elder brother said goodbye to the troupe on his own, and he didn't know where he went. Ten days after his disappearance, he reappeared, next to the county master's stable.

Probably because he couldn't find a particularly powerful poison, he couldn't immediately cure the county master to death. It's just a few days of hard work, and he has naturally managed to escape, and now he has no whereabouts.

The county magistrate's family immediately notified the prefect's yamen and sent officials to search for the whereabouts of the murderer, vowing to see people alive and dead and corpses, and never let the other party go. As for the county magistrate who was poisoned, the situation has not improved for a long time, and the steward still wants to continue to hide it, but he framed him, and another steward who has been beaten by twenty boards has already endured the pain with injuries, made a comeback, and controlled the other party in one fell swoop, and at the same time sent henchmen to send an urgent letter to Beijing.

Even if the little master really can't be saved, he has to let the Jingzhong family come to handle the aftermath. It's not for the two of their little stewards to call the shots.

The search for the murderer has been taken over by the Jinling prefect, and although no one has been caught, the murderer's whereabouts have been discovered. Presumably, it is only a matter of time before the other party is caught. The prefect of Jinling, as the uncle of Shangyuan County, was also very sad about what happened to him, but at the same time, he also felt that the other party was too capable of causing trouble. There was nothing wrong before, but it was probably just the master around him who assisted him well. Now that the master has just left, he has caused such a big disaster, directly brought himself the disaster of killing, and wasted the hard work of his family and elders. The prefect of Jinling couldn't mention how depressed he was.

However, depressed is depressed, and he still has a lot to do.

Now that the Shangyuan County Commander can no longer assume the responsibility of a county magistrate, even if he can save this little life, it will take a long time to recuperate. With his favored position in the family, I am afraid that his family will definitely bring him back to Beijing immediately. Of course, if he can't save this little life, then it's all about Hugh.

Although the post of Shangyuan County Commander is under the noses of the prefect yamen and the governor's yamen, he is also a wealthy county magistrate, and he can still provide assistance to him, the prefect of Jinling, and cannot fall into the hands of others. At the moment, he couldn't find a suitable successor, so he could only send an urgent letter to Beijing first, so that the family and the family of Shangyuan County could find a way to push someone up. And before the new county magistrate takes office, he also needs to find a temporary acting county magistrate to support the overall situation. Otherwise, the New Year is approaching, and he can't really leave the government affairs of Shangyuan County to a few officials and domestic servants to deal with, right?

Considering that this proxy candidate must be near Shangyuan County, he can quickly come over and take over, and he must be his own person, and when he needs to make way for the new county commander, he will not have any objections, the Jinling prefect thought hard for a long time, and finally selected a suitable candidate.

The Taiping Mansion next door to Jinling Mansion has a Dangtu County under its jurisdiction. The current Dangtu County Cheng, surnamed Li and named Yanchao, is a protégé of the Jinling prefect when he used to be a school official and presided over the township examination. Li Yanchao is also the son of a family in Beijing, but the family has fallen a little. He himself is not very good at reading, and after passing the township examination, he has been failing to be on the list, and he has not been able to be admitted to the Jinshi for a long time, so he has to be a person and become a small county officer. Although the official position is small, he can be regarded as a member of the ranks.

Li Yanchao was able to become the county governor of Dangtu, thanks to the recommendation of the prefect of Jinling, so he has always been very grateful to him. The prefect of Jinling felt that when Tu was only a little more than a hundred miles away from Jinling, Li Yanchao would be able to arrive in two or three days at the latest. His ability is okay, and he is also a clever person, and he should be able to perform the position of acting county magistrate. Moreover, Li Yanchao does not have a deep background, and will follow his instructions and act, will not cause trouble to his successor, and will also erase some traces that should not be left for the current county order.

The prefect of Jinling has already calculated, and after Li Yanchao completes his task of acting as a county commander, he will arrange a small county for him to be the county commander, and Li Yanchao can be regarded as a promoted official, and everyone is happy.

So a dispatch was quickly sent to Dangtu County. Because he is only acting as an agent, and the Taiping prefect is a good talker, the prefect of Jinling feels that this matter does not need to be notified to the official, and he only needs to make his own decisions. So, two days later, when there was a response from Tu County, Li Yanchao was already packing his luggage and was about to rush to Shangyuan to stand up for his old teacher.

The prefect of Jinling was very satisfied, and turned his attention back to the action of arresting the murderer. This murderer is very shrewd, although he will inevitably leave some traces of spiders, but he can always escape before the people from the government appear. He had turned almost the entire county into a pot of porridge, and there were signs that he seemed to have a tendency to flee elsewhere.

The governor's yamen was already a little unable to hold back, and more than once sent people to the prefect's yamen to inquire about the latest progress of the case, and some people disliked the prefect's yamen's unfavorable handling of the case, but they didn't know whether they were really trying to solve the case or take the opportunity to crack down on someone. The prefect of Jinling was on guard, and the governor's yamen was probing, and the entire Jinling Mansion was stirred into this muddy water.

Although Qin Hanzhen's family lives in Jinling City in a low-key manner, their daily life has not been affected by this case, at most, they have heard some gossip and rumors from others, but they can also feel the bad atmosphere of rumors in the city. The gossip circulated everywhere, and the murderer was portrayed into a wicked man with a height of two feet and a blue face and fangs, and planted all kinds of crimes on him, and the owner lost the money, saying that he stole it on the way to escape, and the master of the west family was beaten, and it was also said that he beat him in the fugitive. If anyone dies at this time, needless to say, he did it. All kinds of reliable and unreliable rumors spread everywhere, causing panic among the people in the city.

Qin Bai complained very much about this situation: "Shangyuan County ordered his own evil, although the murderer is hateful, he is not a heinous bad person. If it wasn't his doing, how could it be planted on him? Obviously, there were rumors yesterday that he had fled to Lishui, so how could he appear in Jinling City?

He didn't allow his family to talk about this kind of rumor, let alone spread it to the outside world, so Qin Hanzhen and Qin Jian's brothers and sisters were quite quiet. It's just that in private, the two can't help but discuss this matter. They all agreed with Qin Bai's opinion very much, and felt that the Shangyuan County Order was his own death, and he deserved to end up where he is now. Of course, murder is not right, and any crime should be outlawed.

After a few words with his cousin, Qin Jian also withdrew. He's been a little busy lately. Due to the recent chaos under the jurisdiction of Jinling Mansion, officials searched for fugitives everywhere, and the search was very detailed. Although the crown prince has the signboard of the Liyang Palace, he does not have to worry about being suspected for the time being, let alone being treated as a fugitive, it is always good to be cautious. Who knows what will happen if he continues to live in a small town? It just so happened that Dr. Ye accepted Qin Bai's kindness after all kinds of prevarication, and chose to "rent" his property in the front shop and back house, planning to open a small hospital in Jinling City, so that it would be convenient for his father-in-law to see a doctor. It's time for the prince to move to the house on the other side of Huaiqing Bridge with his entourage.

Qin Jian took a lot of effort to decorate this mansion as soon as possible. Fortunately, with Qin Hanzhen's precedent, he now knows how to decorate the house warm and comfortable. When the prince moved into the new house with his entourage, he also praised the layout and furnishings of the house.

Qin Jian felt that he was quite proud, but it was a pity that he couldn't tell people about this mood. Tell the third uncle ancestor Qin Bai, I am afraid that the elders will teach me a lesson, and I can't be proud and complacent because of a little achievement. Tell the others, he didn't dare to reveal the whereabouts of the prince, so he was a little panicked.

Just when Qin Jian was depressed, Lord Li Yanchao from Dangtu was sitting in a restaurant in a small town next to an official road in Jiangning County, eating a late lunch. He was about to arrive at Jinling City, and his heart was extremely excited. The teacher did not forget him, he had only been in Tu County for half a year, and the teacher transferred him to Jinling City. There is a bright future waiting for him in the future!

Li Yanchao inadvertently looked out the window, but unexpectedly found a somewhat familiar figure: "Huh, isn't that Imperial Doctor Tang? He should be in the East Palace, right? Why did he come to Jiangning?"

Li Yanchao couldn't help but feel confused when he looked at the rumored imperial doctor who was supposed to be trapped in the East Palace, treating the seriously ill prince, and had no personal freedom.
