Chapter 37: Solving the Case

This case Xuanhui also read about in the history books of his previous life. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 infoThe reason why this case has been recorded in the history books is not because it is sensational, but because it inexplicably stirred up the situation in the court.

At this time, it coincided with the triennial evaluation of local officials by the Ministry of Officials, and no matter how big or small the officials of the Ministry of Officials, they would be visited. Although the official position in the matter is small and has no real power, the information is still relatively well-informed. Therefore, these days, his home is also ushered in, and there is an endless stream. Coincidentally, there is a magistrate of Ningling County, Defu, who took the opportunity to come to the capital, and also wanted to take a walk in the ministry and find a promotion. It's a pity that he doesn't know anyone, but the threshold of the owner's house is not high, so he wants to deceive him that the magistrate doesn't understand the doorway of the capital, and tricks him out of some money. The two went back and forth, and this Ningling magistrate also sent some yellow and white rice to the master's house.

Unexpectedly, after the evaluation was over, a new appointment came out, and this Ningling magistrate was only transferred to another county, and the conditions were not as good as Ningling. The magistrate came to his senses and went to the door to ask for money. This person is a Pixiu in the matter, and he refuses to spit out what he eats. At that time, everyone in the neighborhood knew about it. Nazhi County didn't take advantage of anything, and left the capital on the same day. But that night, there was a murder in the family, and his wife and daughter died in their respective rooms. He was resting in the concubine's room that night and escaped. Many of the gold and silver jewelry and silver stamps in the main house where his wife lived were missing.

Thinking back to the events in the daytime, I thought that the magistrate had made a ruthless move, and I sued Shuntianfu in a rage. Shuntianfu felt that the case was tricky, and it involved two court officials, so he reported it to the emperor. Emperor Yuanhe admired Pei Minzhong very much because of the Dragon Boat Festival dragon boat case, so he handed over the case to him with Jinyiwei.

The strange thing about this case in the previous life is that suddenly a number of imperial historians impeached all the officials of the Ministry of Officials, and the spearhead was directly pointed at Yang Gelao, the secretary of the Ministry of Officials. This giver has also changed from a bitter lord to a target of impeachment. However, what the imperial history accuses is also the truth, if it is not for the corruption of the officials, and the bad atmosphere of the officials, how can they accept bribes in the matter, and know the matter of running officials and drilling camps in the county?

Yang Ge cherished his reputation all his life, but he was always a little alone. How could he bear such a fire burning on his body? It didn't take long for him to fall ill, although the case finally came to light, but the dirty things in the ministry were still revealed by the imperial history neatly, Yang Ge Lao couldn't bear the blow, and died two months later.

What about this life? Xuan Hui made up her mind to use this matter to win Bae Minzhong's trust, so that he would be willing to do things for himself without asking questions, even if it was some vague requests. As for anything else, Xuanhui didn't plan to interfere. It is not the responsibility of one person to corrupt the government, but everyone is responsible. Of course, Yang Ge Lao is not the culprit of the corruption of the officials, but he has not done anything for it. If this case can be resolved earlier, perhaps Elder Yang Ge can see clearly before the matter is irreparable, and propose to Zhishi, retaining the last bit of so-called dignity and reputation.

Liang Zan kept looking at Xuanhui's expression, and seeing that she had been frowning and not speaking, he couldn't help but ask, "What is my sister thinking?" But what's the trouble? ”

Xuanhui came back to his senses and said with a smile: "That's not true!" I'm just in Pei Shizi why he gave me a birthday gift. But no matter what, I should say thank you to him in person. Third brother, do you know that he will go to Chongwen Hall tomorrow? ”

Liang Zan smiled: "Since you want to thank him, I think he should come." ”

After school the next day, Xuan Hui saw Pei Minzhong's tall figure appear next to the rockery in the courtyard. She took Yuan Xiang and Cai Wei over, Ying Ying gave a salute, and said with a smile: "Yesterday I received a congratulatory gift from the third brother, and there is a small seal that I like very much. I wonder if you can invite the prince to Duanjing Hall and help me refer to the details? ”

Pei Minzhong heard her say that he liked it very much, and he was happy for a while, and he didn't think much about it and followed Xuanhui to Duanjing Palace. Who knew that Xuanhui did not enter the main hall, but took him to the flower stand where they chatted last time. At this time, it is the height of summer, and the flower stand is full of fragrant gold-leaf privet. The small white flowers, the slightest fragrance with the wind, and the princess in front of him reminded Pei Min of the phrase "If wine is not drunk, everyone is drunk".

Xuanhui didn't know what he was thinking, so he just said: "I haven't seen the son recently, I heard that my father arranged a tricky errand for the son?" ”

Pei Minzhong listened to her question, and then reacted, and said, "The Holy Lord ordered me to investigate the murder case of the family in the matter from the Ministry of Officials." ”

With an expression of "I already knew", Xuan Hui looked up at Pei Minzhong and said with a smile: "If I say that I can show you the direction, keep you to solve the case within three days, and catch the murderer within five days, are you willing to believe it?" ”

Pei Min was surprised, but he had already practiced the kung fu of seven emotions, and said softly: "I naturally believe it." ”

This time it was Xuanhui's turn to be surprised, she raised her eyebrows and asked, "Shouldn't you ask me how I know this, how to make you believe?" Why don't you punch according to the moves? “

The corners of Pei Minzhong's mouth curled slightly, and he said with a smile: "If they all come out according to the moves, when will they be able to distinguish the winner from the loser?" The princess is willing to give me advice, and she listens. ”

Xuan Hui said: "This case is obviously not committed by the magistrate, if this is really the case, why did it have to be the night when he knocked on the door?" And he didn't go far from the capital that day, but he lived in a post station outside the city, which didn't hide his whereabouts at all. Therefore, he was never the culprit, nor was he instructed others to do it. After that, she told Pei Minzhong the ins and outs of the case in her previous life as a hypothesis.

It turned out that the daughter in the matter had a secret communication with her aunt and cousin, but she had no choice but to give the wife and sister-in-law in the matter a disagreement, and clearly told her husband that there was no possibility of getting married. The children were bold and bold, so the cousin asked his classmate Wang Sheng to elope and arrange a route out of Beijing for the two of them. On that day, the magistrate county made a big fuss at the door of the house, and my cousin felt that the time had come, so he took advantage of the chaos to hand over a letter to his cousin and eloped that night.

When Wang Sheng took the young couple to his residence, he found that this young lady was not only very beautiful, but also had some yellow and white things in her bag, so he moved to take possession. He tricked his cousin into the inner room, picked up the heavy inkstone and smashed it directly at the back of his head while he was unprepared, and his cousin died in one fell swoop. Wang Sheng also heard about accepting a lot of bribes during the day, so he wanted to visit his home at night. He forced the young lady to tell her where the various premises of the house were located, and went straight to the upper room where her mother lived. Unfortunately, Wang Sheng was discovered by the maid on duty at night as soon as he entered the main room, and woke up the housewife in the back room. Wang Sheng didn't stop doing anything, killed both of them, turned out a lot of silver tickets and jewelry, and fled at night.

And in the morning, I naturally found out that my daughter was missing, but there were other daughters in the family who were not married, and I couldn't spread such a dishonorable thing, so I lied that my wife and daughter were killed when I reported to the official, and the wicked person sued first, and bit the magistrate back, which attracted the attention of the imperial history.
