158. Relatively silent

Chang Jiwen was not hiding in Beiyun Villa for a few days. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 infoThrough Zhang Qian, he found out that it was the Hailiu Gang who kidnapped him. However, there are some words that he seems to have hidden secrets.

Cheng Linghui also didn't know how to open his mouth to tell him about Sun Xinglong.

"Chong Guan is angry and red-faced?" Cheng Linghui chewed on Wu Moming's words repeatedly in her heart, and she didn't know what it was like. She didn't want to believe it, it was true. Sun Xinglong and himself are friends with children, and they are the husband of the fourth sister. It was the matchmaker who personally protected herself, and personally sent the fourth sister to the Sun family's sedan chair.

The fourth sister and Sun Xinglong are obviously doing so well, how could he do foolish things for himself? She didn't believe it. Back then, she obviously asked him if he liked herself, but Sun Xinglong immediately denied it. She still clearly remembers the sadness in her heart at that time......

Lu Jiawu's case has come to light, and Jiaopizi is the only sufferer. If there is a long and short, it will be bad. The two of them pressed their minds for the time being. Yanjing brought a warrant to inspect the imperial history and quickly went to Yangzhou Prison to extract Lu Siyou.

Yanjing was born as a snitch and has made great achievements. This time to go to Yangzhou, it will take a day for others to go fast, and he will go for a maximum of two hours.

Shen Cong and Deng Ku then took people to Lujiawu to inspect the bones and protect the scene by the way. The bones are the most important piece of evidence, and there must be no mistakes.

The fake imperial history is revealed, and I am afraid that the sea current gang will change. Chen Liang and Zhang Qian went to exterminate and arrest the murderer who kidnapped the imperial court officials.

There is also a beauty in the post house who fakes the imperial history. Speaking of the identity of this beauty, she is still an official lady. The daughter of the Liu family who is in charge of Suzhou weaving. Now that the fake imperial history has been revealed, the master and servant really want to cry without tears.

It's no wonder that others, who let her father covet wealth and power, she herself loves vanity. If you change to an ordinary woman, don't say that you can't do such a nameless and worthless thing and follow someone else's business, even if you have to do it as a last resort. Things have come to this point, and as a woman, I can't help but look for a short-term view immediately.

This master and servant really opened Cheng Linghui's eyes. cried a lot, and before leaving, she didn't forget to pack up the things that the fake imperial history gave her. This is Miss Qianjin, who is clearly the kiln sister who leans on the door and laughs.

Su Tong gave Chang Jiwen the honor guard, although it was majestic, it was very troublesome to walk. In the past, with Cheng Linghui's temper, she would definitely let Chang Jiwen walk slowly behind, and she would go to Yangzhou first. However, after the fake imperial history, she was very reluctant to part with Chang Jiwen.

Afraid of Chang Jiwen's accident is one thing, on the other hand, it is always more cherished to lose and recover.

However, the two now have their own thoughts. More often than not, they are relatively silent with each other.

Chang Jiwen stopped every time he wanted to speak, but Cheng Linghui simply didn't know how to speak.

On the day he arrived in Yangzhou, Chang Jiwen went to Lujiawu.

When Cheng Linghui went to Suzhou, he once instructed Chu to be arrogant and be sure to protect the bones here. It is also thanks to Chu Qingfang who sent more people here. The bones were preserved.

On the day Cheng Linghui left Yangzhou, more than a dozen masked people touched here at night and tried to burn the bones with fire oil for a second time. Chu was arrogant and fought with those people, and several were injured.

The rediscovery of Lu Jiawu's case is no less than the nine-level ground movement in Yangzhou. Chang Jiwen's guard of honor went to Yangzhou, which brought this shock to the peak.

Although Lujiawu is still eerie, it is no longer a place that everyone avoids. Now whether it is a tea shop or a tea shop, it has become the focus of discussion. While the eyes of the common people were staring at Lu Jiawu, they were also staring at Chang Jiwen, who took over the case.

The yamen of Jiangnan and Jiangnan Roads is also staring at this patrol imperial history. But the only bitter protagonist in this case, Jiao Pizi, Lu Siyou, had an accident.

Rao is Yanjing has the ability to chase the stars and the moon, and when he took Chang Jiwen's warrant to Yangzhou Prison. The charred corpses were hard. If he hadn't gone quickly and intercepted the jailer who was sending the corpse out, Jiaopizi would not even be able to find the bones by now.

So, when Chang Jiwen arrived in Yangzhou, the first thing he checked was the cause of Jiao Pizi's death.

As early as when Chang Jiwen was still investigating the murder of his wife in a certain south, Deng Ku showed his unparalleled means for autopsy. The cause of his death was quickly concluded during his inquest. Died of poisoning.

Although the laws of ancient times were not as comprehensive as those of today, it was not trivial for prisoners to be poisoned in prison. If no one cares, a person like Lu Siyou, who is alone and has no background, will die and die, and he won't even be able to upload the official documents. However, he met Cheng Linghui and his wife. His grievances are in the open daylight.

But the jailer who had come into contact with Jiao Pizi naturally did not run away, and the county officials in charge of Lujiawu could not escape responsibility. In the past, officials had a great deal of autonomy in adjudicating and adjudicating cases. It's not like nowadays you have to have solid evidence to convict you. Many times, the officer who tried the case thinks you are guilty and arrests you first. Not recruiting, right? Punishment awaits.

Don't think that Chang Jiwen is polite, so you don't dare to use means. In ancient times, when officials tried cases, how many did not move the punishment?

If other officials were to try the case, those suspects would have to resist a little bit, but it would be different if Chang Jiwen was replaced. Every time Chang Jiwen went to Jiangsu and Zhejiang, his reputation had already spread. Everyone said that he was Bao Qingtian alive and could judge dead ghosts. When he met him, he could only consider himself unlucky. Why suffer from flesh and skin?

Why do they know that Chang Jiwen is powerful and dare to ignore the law and discipline and do such a hurtful thing? Then it's time to talk about the fake royal history.

That impostor is greedy for money and lustful, and he will not refuse to come. Inevitably, the officials of Jiangnan and Jiangnan Road relaxed their vigilance. Who knew that when he said that he would turn his face, he would turn his face, and he would turn his head and come with such a hand. I don't want any money and beauty, I have to examine the cause of Lu Siyou's death. His subordinates are like clouds, and the county order can't break the net if he wants to. It can only be recognized.

Speaking of Chang Jiwen's masters, I have to say that Su Tong actually treats him well. In addition to transferring Shen Cong and others back. Even those who carry the flag and beat the gong are first-class masters, and it is not a problem to take one as ten. These people, let alone a county government, are just the state government yamen, and they can't stop others if they want to break in.

Chang Jiwen, unless you don't let him grasp the handle, once he is targeted, then he has to find out. There is a saying that being an official for thousands of miles is just for food and clothing. In that kind of environment in ancient times, how many officials could really be strict with themselves and have clean sleeves?

It doesn't matter if this county order falls off the horse, it is inevitable to pull out the gourd and bring out the melon. Chang Jiwen's trial has not yet been completed, and the Yangzhou prefect hanged himself. If you don't get tired of it, the ghosts won't believe it. However, the person is already dead, and the clue is broken if you want to follow the vine and find the melon.

Chang Jiwen could only stare at the line that Lu Siyou was poisoned.

I don't know if the death of the prefect of Yangzhou reminded the real culprit behind the poisoning of Lu Siyou. The cell boss insisted that he killed Lu Siyou, and no one instructed him. Then he hanged himself in prison.

said that he knew that this cell boss was taking the blame for others, but the person was already dead, and Chang Jiwen did not really have the ability to judge the yin and the yang. I was at a loss for a while.

The officials of Jiangnan and Jiangnan Roads wished that he was unlucky. took the opportunity to fabricate charges against him. said that he forced the court officials to death and sacrificed people's lives. A joint impeachment letter, filled with the names of officials from the two roads in the south of the Yangtze River, was handed to the desk of the Son of Heaven. Fortunately, Su Tong intercepted the excerpt, and the emperor's order could not be issued for a while. Otherwise, whether it is true or not, Chang Jiwen, the inspector of the imperial history, has to return to Beijing first to be investigated.

As far as the efficiency of the previous work is concerned, the investigation is over. The daylilies here in Yangzhou are cold.

More than 600 skeletons in Lujiawu were there, clearly showing that the fire 30 years ago was a murder that destroyed the village and the clan. If you don't find out, what is the reason? The death of Jiaopizi shows to a large extent that the people involved in the murder are still there. But the clue was broken. Even the only bitter lord is dead.

Although Su Tong is the crown prince, he has the right to supervise the country. But there are many things that the Son of Heaven can't help himself. How long can he stand up to the joint impeachment of Jiangnan and Jiangnan officials?

"Then let's come to the ghost trial." Cheng Linghui took the case.

Chang Jiwen grabbed her: "Don't be reckless. We don't have any clues, even if we judge ghosts, which one will we judge? ”

Cheng Linghui said: "Just try the cell boss." ”

On that day, the whole Yangzhou city was a sensation. The inspector of the imperial history is often the master who wants to open the court at night to try the ghosts.

In the evening, if you have the courage to do good things, you will meet to go to the outside of the county government hall to watch. At midnight, the brightly lit Yamen lobby was brightly lit. The candle flame jumped, and suddenly it turned a miserable green. The entire lobby was eerie and terrifying, as if it had become the palace of Hades.

I saw Mr. Chang, who was sitting upright above the lobby, threw a stick down: "Take the cell head." ”

It is known that the cell boss died long ago. The body was taken back by the family in the morning, and it didn't have time to be buried. Isn't it really a ghost?

Then he heard the sound of chains, and two men in high hats, one black and one white, dragged a man out. The onlookers all knew the black and white. is the two guards beside Chang Jiwen, one is called Shen Cong and the other is Deng Ku. The two of them had a blank face, expressionless all day long. A black and red face, always grinning. In the daytime, it looks like black and white impermanence, and there seems to be a yin aura on his body. Now when he comes out wearing a high hat, no one needs to say it, everyone understands it in their hearts. This is black and white impermanence.

Looking at the two of them who were dragged out, those who knew each other couldn't help but exclaim. It's not the cell boss and that?

The cell boss's family also mixed in with the crowd to watch. Especially his son, when he saw that it was really his father who dragged him up, he cried on the spot. The onlookers were even more convinced that it was the ghost of the cell boss.

Actually, the cell boss was pretended to be by Yan Jing. Yanjing is good. Walking is as if there are no roots under your feet and floating on the ground.

Chang Jiwen had a black face on it, and said with a serious matter: "The cell boss deceived the court officials, causing the real murderer to get away with it." According to the law of yin, they should be burned in a fierce fire, boiled in oil, and then sent to hell with their tongues plucked. ”

Yanjing lay on the ground and pretended to beg for mercy. Chang Jiwen is naturally iron-faced and selfless. The people did not see anything, and suddenly a flame rose from the head of the cell, but the flame was as green as the lamp here. Yanjing is also like it, rolling and roaring, very poignant. Actually, the fire was phosphorus and not hot at all.

When it was finished, everyone looked at it. Well, the cell boss is still the same. If this were a real person, wouldn't it have burned to ashes earlier?

Shen Cong and Deng Ku stepped forward, reached out and lifted Yan Jing, who was curled up on the ground, and threw it into the oil pot that had been set up long ago without hesitation. This is also a deceitful thing, and the fire below looks fierce, and the oil in the oil pan is not hot.

Cheng Linghui was deceived by someone in this way when he ran the single gang, and now it comes in handy.

She inquired that the cell boss's son was a dutiful son. The cell boss will not die for nothing. I don't believe that this kid doesn't know anything. I don't believe that this kid can watch his father suffer and not come out.

Even if that kid can stand it, it's good to scare and scare the county order who won't open his mouth.

She didn't believe that a cell boss dared to poison a prisoner without telling the county order. The reason why he didn't use the big punishment for interrogation was because he was afraid that he would be like the prefect of Yangzhou, so he would find a short-term view. That's the end of the trail.

"Ahh The son of the cell boss really couldn't stand his father's guilt, so he rushed into the lobby regardless of it. Stretching out his hand, he was going to the oil pot to fish out his own father. How could the officials on both sides let him succeed, and go and hold him down in the morning.

Chang Jiwen was shocked in a row: "Duh, who dares to trespass on Benjun's court?" ”

The kid threw himself in front of the hall and kowtowed: "My lord, spare my father." I said, I'll say everything. It was Steward Cui who asked my father to poison Lu Siyou, and I heard it clearly under the window. Steward Cui gave my father fifty taels of silver, saying that if my father didn't do it, he would pull my sister to pay the debt. Spare my dad. I am willing to be punished for my father. ”

The background of this Cui housekeeper is not ordinary. The master of his family is the imperial businessman Cui Million. The largest trader on Jiangnan and Lianglu. The wealth of the family is comparable to Shen Wansan in the early Ming Dynasty. Because he is the emperor, he is much more powerful than Shen Wansan.

Such a person, even if the feudal officials see it, they have to give three points of face. Chang Jiwen: A small five-grade patrol imperial history is really nothing in front of others. However, he met Chang Jiwen, a couple with a head of the children, who should be unlucky.

After listening to the words of the cell boss's son, regardless of thirty-seven twenty-one, he will detain the housekeeper first.

Su Tong's manpower to Chang Jiwen, and the executioners who carried the guillotine were all masters. Not to mention the cornices and walls, it also comes and goes like the wind. The housekeeper does not usually live with his master, but has his own house. Chang Jiwen sent a sign here, and those who have good deeds will show those errand soldiers. In a moment, the disheveled housekeeper Cui was arrested.

Cui's housekeeper is in his fifties. White and clean, with a few strands of beard. He looks like a literati. However, to be able to sit in the position of the richest man in Jiangnan is also well-informed.

As soon as he entered the lobby, he saw through the tricks played by Cheng Linghui and his family. It's just that Chang Jiwen has already asked people to follow the cell boss's son and take the silver he gave to the cell boss and other physical evidence. Now that the human and material evidence is complete, he was pulled out of the nest again, and he can't think of quibbling when he is dizzy. Fortunately, he still knew the protector, but he insisted that he had a holiday with Lu Si, so he bought the cell boss and killed him.

Su Tong passed the word over there, and he couldn't stand it for long, so he asked Chang Jiwen to fight quickly.

No matter how good Chang Jiwen's patience is, he is a little overwhelmed. Although there is no Gongsun Ce by his side, he racked his brains to think of 'apricot blossoms rain over rouge', but there is also Zhao Qiao, a martial arts leader.

In terms of extorting confessions by torture, Zhao Qiao's methods are much stronger than those of the scholar Gongsun Ce, who has landed.

This housekeeper is not a county official, and he is involved in the affairs of officialdom, which hinders Chang Jiwen. The punishment is not a burden at all. He pleaded guilty again, even if he was killed, he was just asking Chang Jiwen to torture him harshly.
