324 Extra: Detective (1)
Speaking of Di Renjie of the Hundred Schools School, the whole Tang Dynasty inevitably wants to praise a good son, this can be called a winner in life. When he was still an ignorant child, he had already come into contact with the Baijia School through his cousin, and his enlightenment was completely completed in the Baijia School. After that, it was even more out of control, just like the modern British Eaton-Oxbridge-cabinet model, Di Renjie's family-hundred schools-champion model can be called the top road to promotion.
In addition to this, what is even more enviable is that he was accepted as a closed disciple by Wang Jue, who was already a rare apprentice, and he made a family relationship with Wu Zhao, a rising star in the political circles, early. Since the day he was accepted as an apprentice by Wang Jue, the status of the Di family, which has declined slightly, has risen sharply, whether it is a son who is more valued because of this or a lady who has a good marriage, everyone knows that everything comes from Di Renjie, and he seems to have become the patriarch of the Di family.
This winner in life, after winning the top prize, chose to go to the surrounding areas of Chang'an to be a county magistrate. That's right, he chose it himself. Di Renjie is the youngest among Wang Jue's disciples, and it can be said that the other senior brothers have all watched him grow up. The little junior brother came back by getting a champion on his own, and as long as the follow-up position arrangement is not excessive, Li Chengqian, the prince, can operate.
Di Renjie has been most interested in solving cases since he was a child, and Li Chengqian also recognized his talent in this area. As soon as the brothers discussed, they started with the county order first, and then transferred to the criminal department. When Di Renjie grows up, the current leader of the Criminal Department should also be the leader, and he will fill the position. Yes, now even the position in the second half of his life has fallen.
At present, this winner in life is in the yamen, and he has been in Jingyang County for five months as a county magistrate. On this day, it was pouring rain outside, lightning and thunder, and Di Renjie sat in the study practicing calligraphy. He was a little irritable, not because of the interference of thunder, but because his marriage contract with Wu Zhao was rejected again.
If there are any troubles in Di Renjie's life, there is only one thing, because of the age gap, he has not been able to counterattack so far. He really loves Wu Zhao, but when he thinks that he has been held by his daughter-in-law since he was a child, and when the teacher is not available, his daughter-in-law teaches martial arts, and he is teased or beaten almost every once in a while when he grows up, he can't help but be irritable.
Some things can't be erased, Di Renjie feels that people can't always think about the past, they have to look backwards. At first, his idea was to study hard, first win the crown and then win the imperial examination to get an official position. Although it is not as high as Wu Zhao's position, it can be regarded as a career, and it will definitely come naturally when it comes to starting a family.
Who knows, a few days after he was admitted to the top prize, the news of Wu Zhao's promotion came. On the day of the samurai banquet, Di Renjie naturally had to be present as an unmarried object. Watching Wu Zhao navigate the crowd with ease, the people around her were of different ages and backgrounds, but Wu Zhao could call everyone's name and talk happily with her. Di Renjie, who was standing on the side, was a little helpless, he was withdrawn and didn't like this kind of entertainment.
Moreover, the attitude of these people towards him and Wu Zhao also frustrated Di Renjie. When facing Wu Zhao, everyone regarded her as a courtier, but when facing Di Renjie, people couldn't help but praise her from the perspective of the elders, she was a good son, and the county order did a good job.
Di Renjie had a hunch that his counterattack seemed to be far away, and he had been able to be calm in this regard. But seeing that Wu Zhao is getting older, can he get married? Although Wu Zhao has been very good to him over the years, Di Renjie has always been worried about not getting married, does she want to quit her marriage?
Recently, Di Renjie has suffered some gains and losses, and he can't think of any good way, so he can only practice calligraphy to hone his temperament. Another lightning and thunder, and the entourage from the Di family hurriedly knocked on the door outside the study: "Master, someone in the front hall reported the case!" β
Well, this old man's title Di Renjie was very comfortable, which made him feel that he was not an immature sixteen-year-old, but a bearded eunuch official. The calm echo was known, Di Renjie put down his pen and got up and walked out.
The entourage waiting outside the study diligently held umbrellas, and the two walked briskly to the front hall.
Because of the thunder and rain, the sky was a little dark, and it looked a little scary in combination with the situation in the front hall. The officials stood on both sides, and the master Wu Da Niu had just arrived, and he looked uncertainly at the people lying on the ground covered in blood and being bound. Speaking of this master, I have to insert a few words, he is the Wu Da Niu in Nanshan Village.
Since Wang Jue's return, Wu Daniu has also started to read. At first, he didn't think of being an official, but he thought that his father was the village chief after all, and seeing that the academic atmosphere in Nanshan was so good, he also had to learn something to support the faΓ§ade. Besides, you can also enlighten the baby in the future, so that you can lay the foundation to go to the Enlightenment Academy to study.
Unexpectedly, learning to learn really let him read it. From auditing the Enlightenment Academy to often asking students questions in the Literature Club, I have learned a lot over the years. In addition, he is clever, unlike some dead scholars who don't know how to change, and when Di Renjie was appointed as the county commander and needed a master, the first thing that came to mind was the more familiar Uncle Wu.
I heard that there was such a good opportunity, and Di Renjie promised that he would recommend him to fill the position after his term expired, how could Wu Daniu be unwilling. That's it, after making up for some of the rules of the upper echelons of the Tang Dynasty that he didn't know much, Wu Daniu followed Di Renjie to take office. In the past five months, from being in a hurry to being at ease, Wu Daniu is indeed a talent.
Di Renjie came to the front hall and first noticed the fat man in black standing in the hall.
This fat man is also a bit of a background, he is a side branch of the Li family, and his family moved to Jingyang County a few years ago. Mr. Li is very face-saving, even if he doesn't want to see his clan, he doesn't treat him too badly. In recent years, the Li family clan has the right to sell in some areas, of which Jingyang County is one of them, and this side branch was sent over to do sales.
When Di Renjie first arrived in Jingyang County, he naturally wanted to touch the bottom, and the local snake with a background was the main object of attention. Even if he didn't like to socialize anymore, he had entertained some people when he first came. Fortunately, everyone knows his identity, and no one dares to stir up trouble with his identity and background, after all, everyone is not as good as this new county magistrate when it comes to background.
Seeing the Li family, Di Renjie's original irritability was even stronger. Compared with other families, the affairs of the Li clan are really difficult to solve. Under normal circumstances, don't they all report directly to the main family and then Li Xiaogong comes forward, this point was secretly set by the saint many years ago after losing face because of the clan, why are they still tied people to the county government today?
Di Renjie's expression, like Wu Daniu, also became cloudy. Looking at the young man lying on the ground and being tied, Di Renjie recognized him as the concubine of the Li family. Looking at the few people behind the fat man, they obviously cried. I am afraid that this matter involves the selfishness of the family, Di Renjie secretly scolded the Li family for having pig brains and not being sensible.
Anyway, he didn't want to get involved. Di Renjie coughed lightly, pretending to be puzzled and said, "Brother Li, this kidnapped person is your brother-in-law?" The affairs of the Li clan should be reported to the patriarch or Li Shangshu, and it is inconvenient for the county to participate. If I let the teacher and senior brother know that I, a small county commander who has just taken office and has not yet sorted out the situation in the county, dares to point fingers at the holy clan, I am afraid that I will inevitably be punished. β
"Brother Di, someone in our family has died, this matter must be reported to the official!" Li Pang said, tears flowing out.
Di Renjie's expression stiffened on his face, and he thought of a series of words that Fang Yiai often used to scold people: go to his grandmother's legs, steal the turtle grandson, and grow up in the dung pit......
The last word is more suitable for Li Pang, he has already said it so clearly, how can this person still not understand. Even if he is young and ignorant, what about the elders in the family? Doesn't it matter? Are they all dead?!
There's no way, people have already told the murder, and it is a dereliction of duty for him not to ask about the county order. Di Renjie's face changed, and he raised his voice in surprise: "Murder?!" Let's listen to it, this county will first understand the situation. β
Yes, just to understand the situation, we didn't say that we want to participate, and immediately report to the senior brother after understanding the situation.
"My father and mother passed away, and they were murdered at home! There are no elders in our family, and we have sent someone back to the clan to deliver the letter, but the murderer must be reported to the police to solve it. The murderer is this person, my brother-in-law Li Mian! β
Oh, his parents are really dead......
Since you have already asked people to send a letter, why did you still come to the county office, who told you that you must find the county official if you die. The people of the Li family clan are also interesting enough, either they are ruthless people with great ambitions and talents, or they are fools who raise waste. Di Renjie sighed in his heart, and secretly said that he was unlucky today, so he could only bite the bullet and say: "I'll take someone to the house to have a look first, and let's wait for the specific things to have news from Chang'an." β
"Okay, there is a county order from Laudy! The murderer Bacheng is my brother-in-law, and I have to interrogate him later, so let's put him in prison! Li Pang said, leading the way at the front door with his entourage, and before leaving, he glared fiercely at the younger brother lying on the ground.
Di Renjie ordered a few servants and servants to go out, and gave his master Wu Da Niu a look before leaving. Hurry up and loosen the people, find a room to take care of them alone, and don't let the Li family's concubine die in the yamen. Again, send a letter to Chang'an immediately. Wu Daniu nodded, indicating that he knew what he should do.
The group braved the rain to come to Li's house, and Di Renjie began to observe from the moment he entered the gate. The front yard is not large, only two gatekeepers guarded it. There was no one in the hall, and when I went to the backyard, I found that there were only four small two-story buildings. There is another door that can lead to the inside, Di Renjie guessed that it should be a place to put the goods.
As expected, Li Pang introduced: "Our family is mainly responsible for the sales of goods in Jingyang County, and the courtyard in front of Xiaosanjin is not large. The area behind it is large and used to store goods. On weekdays, most of the house slaves are in the back to take care of the goods, and they can't come to the front without permission, and the door to the back is locked, and only my father and mother and the housekeeper in charge of delivering the food have the key. The door was locked at the time of the crime, and there were people guarding it, so it should have nothing to do with the people in the back. β
Di Renjie didn't think there was anything wrong with this statement, many goods were worth a lot of money, and some delicate ones had to be moisture-proof, which required a lot of people to take care of them for a long time. This family is only a side branch, and if there is a problem with the goods, they will definitely not be able to pay the responsibility, so it is normal to attach so much importance to it.
Then, Li Pang began to introduce the four small buildings: "My father and mother live in the middle, the one on the left is my place, and the left side belongs to my brother and male servants. Far away from the solitary one, there lived concubines and female servants. The location of the crime is on the second floor of the small building where my father and mother live, let's go and see? β
Di Renjie nodded, and asked as he walked: "Can someone take care of the scene?" β
Li Pang nodded with a sad face: "The maid at home was the first to find out about the situation, and before I came to report the case, I asked a few servants to guard the door, and no one was allowed to enter or leave again." β
Di Renjie's face softened slightly, and he continued to ask: "Why did your family build a two-story small building?" β
"My family was first sent to the south, and we were just transferred back two years ago. In the south, we are used to living in a house with such a structure, so we simply built a house according to our original living habits. β
Entering the small building, there are many attendants waiting on the first floor. It's strange that I didn't see a few people just now, so they all gathered here. Li Pang choked up again and said: "I don't know if these people are involved, under the suggestion of the housekeeper, I will arrange for the servants and concierge who guard the goods to wait here for the county order to ask." The housekeeper is on the second floor, and he personally leads people to guard his father and mother. β
Well, let's just say, Li Pang doesn't have such a mind.
When he came to the second floor, Di Renjie saw three people standing at the entrance, and the eldest of them should be the housekeeper Li Pang said.
When the old man saw Di Renjie, he immediately greeted him and saluted: "My son-in-law was overly sad because of the death of his elders, so he was anxious to find the county order to be the main culprit." The little one had already sent someone to Chang'an to inform the lord that everything had a county order from Laodi. β
It seems that the housekeeper originally wanted to stop Li Pang from reporting to the official, but the other party didn't listen to the persuasion, and he explained to him at this time, not intentionally embarrassing. Whether it was intentional or not, it had already brought him into trouble, Di Renjie nodded noncommittally, looked at the two doors on the second floor and asked, "What are these two rooms for?" β
"The bedroom of the lord and the lady, and the study of my wife. The master's study is in the front yard, and the weekday meals are also in the front yard hall, which is the lady's place. After Steward Li finished speaking, he paused, looked at Di Renjie's face vaguely, and tried to propose: "Let me take you into the bedroom to have a look?" β
Di Renjie frowned, and said to everyone: "You stay here, and the housekeeper will take the official to take a look first." β
There were too many people because it was raining outside and everyone's shoes were wet. Inevitably destroying the scene, Di Renjie decided to go first to see and remember the main clues. He took off his shoes and went inside, and saw a brazier burning with coals in the doorway. It is thought that it is because of the cold indoors caused by the rain, so the charcoal fire is lit to ward off the cold.
Di Renjie looked back at Steward Li: "Now that floor heating has been popularized, haven't you installed it in your house?" β
"In previous years, we started using floor heating in November, but now it's the end of autumn, and we use charcoal occasionally."
In other words, this situation is normal in their family, and it is really a strange family. Walking further inside, he came to the couch of the master's house, and Di Renjie's brows deepened when he saw the two deceased. This way of dying is somewhat unusual.
