Mr. Hu said that he remembered something and didn't know if it would help the investigation.

Seeing the old man's solemn expression, Lao Deng sighed and said, "If it helps, let's hear it first." ”

The old man hesitated and spoke: "When Miss Xiao Han was at my house, one day two warlocks came to look for her, and Xiao Han was extremely reluctant to deal with them, but he couldn't hide from them, so he had to come out to deal with it. At that time, Xiao Lao'er and the seventh child in the family were present. They seemed to be asking Miss Xiaohan to do them something, but Miss Xiaohan refused, and the two were not happy. It's been a long time, and one of them now has business dealings with my family, and it's called Vacancy, and their relationship is not bad, and the other one is called Xianyu, so I don't know what's going on? ”

"Two warlocks?" Lao Deng repeated. Called the one who has been missing, he has been in contact, it seems to be no problem, he said that he has not seen Miss Xiaohan in the past few days, but his daughter-in-law has seen it. The one called Xianyu is a new situation, and it is worth inquiring about.

"Okay, old man, tomorrow we will work hard from the jade body, you can also go back and rest!"

Early the next morning, he saw the big belly with the knife again, and the people who followed him called him Brother Deng. He hurried to catch up, people were busy for Xiao Han, how could he be respected.

"Brother Deng, is there any news?"

Old Deng looked at him fixedly a few times and shook his head, this young owner seems to really care about Xiao Han, no wonder, their store is still pointing to Xiao Han to make money.

Suddenly, in a flash of inspiration, Lao Deng found the most likely reason for Xiao Han's disappearance: interests!

Beauty is also something that Xiao Han has. But who would dare to touch the woman of the eldest son? Normal people aren't so confused for that moment's needs, right?

"There is a lack of Dong, Lao Deng wants to ask you something, ask someone."

He nodded hurriedly: "You say." Whatever you don't know, you'll be told. ”

"Hmm. Mr. Hu came to me and said, more than a year ago, in winter, you and a man named Xianyu went to the Hu family to find Miss Xiaohan, and wanted Miss Xiaohan to help her, but Miss Xiaohan refused, and Mr. Hu said You are not very happy, is there such a thing? ”

I was already scared. Old man Hu, is this taking him and Xianyu as objects of suspicion? "Oh. We were just a little disappointed, but not too upset. However, Miss Xiaohan said at the time that she wanted to come to my house as an apprentice. I'm so happy. Afterward. We work very well together. ”

"What about the jade?"

"Mr. Xianyu has some regrets. But there was no displeasure either. Later, he also had a relationship with Miss Xiaohan, and he felt that their relationship was also very harmonious. Mr. Xianyu presided over the work of the straight road. I have had some exchanges of opinions with Miss Xiaohan, and I should say that I appreciate each other. ”

"Oh," Old Deng nodded, "then what do you want Miss Xiaohan to help you with?" Why did Miss Xiaohan refuse? ”

He was shocked again, and this time he really didn't know whether to say it or not. Miss Xiaohan has repeatedly told her not to talk about this to outsiders, otherwise her friends won't have to do it. However, Lao Deng is investigating the disappearance of Miss Xiaohan, if you don't say this, is it delaying?

Lao Deng stared at the missing reaction, this time he should have asked the key point, it seems that there is really a problem!

"Brother Deng, it's about minerals, you know that Miss Xiaohan has some research on minerals, at that time we went to ask for knowledge of minerals, maybe we didn't have a deep relationship, Miss Xiaohan didn't want to talk more, that's the way it is."

Old Deng Yi frowned, why, it's that simple? If it's so simple, why did Old Man Hu come to the door so solemnly and tell me about it?

Look at the lack again, with a frank face, as if he really explained everything clearly.

"That, what about the jade offeror? How to find him? ”

He thought about it and said: "I'll take Brother Deng there, he may not be here, I haven't seen him for a long time, since spring, the straight road has started, and he has been busy in the Yunyang Road section." ”

"Okay, let's try our luck." Lao Deng said.

Since he is not willing to lead the way, it means that this kid's problem is not big, perhaps, it is the problem with the jade offering.

Whether there is a problem with offering jade, the officials of the Cheng Yamen and the Imperial Lieutenant Office in the imperial history are also asking this question.

Xianyu was ordered to come back to report on his work, but he didn't expect that as soon as he came back, he was invited to the Imperial Governor's Office to explain the problem. Hou Sheng and Lu Sheng, the two most famous warlocks, are already wanted in the country, as the leaders in this industry, if you don't start the operation from him, where will you start the operation? Bu Yun also came back, but it was not the turn of the chief officer to ask his questions.

This time, the emperor instructed Meng Yi to investigate the warlocks in the entire Xianyang, as a doctor of the imperial history, he still has a little hearing of the master Xianyu in the imperial history, they belong to professional and technical personnel, and it is not easy to review their cases, because if you don't understand his set of rhetoric, you can't judge whether he is really talented or famous. In order to improve efficiency and reduce miscalculations, Meng Yi asked the Tingwei Agency to send someone to conduct a joint review. (In today's understandable terms, it means that the Ministry of Supervision of the Commission for Discipline Inspection and the State Administration of Justice handle the case together.) ）

They were quite polite to Xianyu, after all, this is the person in charge of the work of the straight road. If you want to say that he has a problem, doesn't that mean that he doesn't know people and uses people wrongly? But the scene still has to go, from Xianyu down, one by one through the sieve, and finally, what is left in the sieve is to be killed by those who bewitch the public and act as traitors.

Meng Yi glanced at Xia Kucao, Xia Kucao was the presiding judge, he was just a bystander, he didn't participate in the venue, he didn't have the energy. Even if he had that energy, and one more warlock or one less warlock was misjudged, how much sympathy would he have for them? In his opinion, planting the land and seeing the harvest, fighting and getting the first rank, these are all real achievements, but where is the reality of the warlock profession?

However, if there is something good on the top, it will be practiced on the bottom, the emperor is good, and there is a situation where warlocks gather in Xianyang, and now, the warlocks have messed up people's hearts, and the emperor has in turn cleaned up the warlocks, one mile and one outside, it is the he pulls for others to wipe, except for disgusting people, there is nothing else.

But this is the words of the heart, and you can only think about it in the heart. In the face, he has to hold the state decree majestically to scare people.

Xia Kucao asked: "Xianyu, tell me about your main direction and main achievements since you started your career." ”

Xianyu raised his head and looked at the frame of the hall, and couldn't help but shudder in his heart. Even the imperial historian Meng Yi was present, how high his specifications are!

"Ladies and gentlemen, Xianyu has been studying the science of hope for many years. In Xianyang, there are hundreds of yin and yang houses that have been dedicated to jade, and the descendants dare not say how good they are, so they have to rely on time to test. It refers only to the living people living comfortably. This is well known. The ventilation and lighting of the house have a great relationship with the orientation and surrounding environment, and also affect people's health and mood. For example, the prisoners in this court lieutenant prison were originally ministers in the imperial court, and they had to be far-sighted. On perseverance. That's definitely more than the average person. But in a dark, damp cell, they will get sick and despair. Or they may do all kinds of things that they didn't despise before. However, when we look at those prisoners, although they have tattoos on their faces and are despised, they are still strong and still have hope and longing for their hometown, working in the sunshine and having limited contact with those who are serving their sentences. This is the effect of the environment on people's emotions. This alone shows that the study of Wangqi is a specialized science. ”

Meng Yi closed his eyes, he came today to go through the motions, not to listen to the lecture, he didn't expect the first case to be tried like this, boring!

Xia Kucao asked: "In addition to showing people the yang house and the yin house, what else have you done?" ”

Xianyu said: "Last spring, a good piece of land was found in Shanglin Yuan, and Xianyu had already made a detailed report to the yamen to which he belonged, which was suitable for building palace residences, and the yamen also accepted it. From last autumn to this spring, Xianyu has been doing the work of Kanyu on the straight road, and this thing is done together with Buyun, and the start of the four-stage project is carried out in accordance with our Kanyu map. ”

Xia Kucao peeked at Meng Yi, Meng Yi still had his eyes closed, this appearance made him more and more bottomless about his own interrogation methods, but what the warlocks said was really not easy to understand! What to do?

"Mr. Xianyu, I heard that since a family moved into the Yang house that you are optimistic about, donkeys do not give birth, women do not give birth, sheep are pregnant, but sheep will be aborted, how do you explain this?"

Meng Yi still closed his eyes, but he snickered in his heart, if Xianyu asks you which family you are, what do you think?

Xianyu's face turned red all of a sudden, and he obviously felt that the censors were unfriendly to him, but what could he do, today it was someone who judged him, not someone else. He took a deep breath and said, "May I ask my lord, is it true that a farmer will be able to grow a crop if he plants a seed in the field?" If this seed does not bear fruit, can it be judged that the farmer is not skilled or even admires being a farmer? ”

Meng Yi opened his eyes and looked at Prunella vulgaris, how do you answer?

Xia Kucao glanced at Xianyu calmly and said, "Now it's time to review your questions, you can say anything, I can ask whatever I want, and I can answer whatever I want." I just ask, you just answer. Mr. Xianyu, do you understand? ”

Xianyu let out an "oh" helplessly.

Xia Kucao said: "I heard that Wangqi always said that a good yin house and a yang house can prosper for ten generations and eight generations, so doesn't that mean that you can see the future?" ”

Xianyu shook his head helplessly, others have said this, and he occasionally says it, but this is actually something that cannot be studied deeply, if you want to study deeply, it is indeed not a problem for a good house to live for ten generations and eight generations, and it can be said that it is reasonable.

It seems that they are going to pick a thorn today, how can they put an end to this unpleasant investigation?

After thinking about it, he said, "Seeing the future is the understanding of adults, right?" In this way, in order to obtain the recognition of the adults for the ability to offer jade and hope for qi, Xianyu said a place: from Xianyang to the north two or three hundred miles, there is a Chenjia village near Yongzhou Tongguan, from the village to the southwest eight miles there is a side by side mountain, known as Shuangyang Mountain, between the two mountains will find a copper mine. It was last spring when I offered jade to hope for anger, and one of the companions was Shaodong of the pottery shop in Sanlu Lane, and the other was Jiang Ping, who had passed away. When we came back, we all brought back a bag of ore samples, and if the adults didn't believe us, we could follow Xianyu to our home to get it. It is estimated that what is missing is still there. Is this possible? ”

Xia Kucao was stunned, what Xianyu said was so sure, is it true? His ability to hope for qi is so miraculous? He looked at Meng Yi, Meng Yi smiled playfully, it was really unthinkable that the review had reached such a point!

No, the investigation still has to start and finish, and the subject of the review must not be flattened.

"Okay, Xianyu, we will naturally send someone to check what you said, and we are willing to believe that what you say is true. So now I have a question for you to answer, among the warlocks you have contacted, who do you think is suspected of fraud, who has ever murdered for money, who has cured both methods, and who has spread rumors and rumors to confuse the public? Who uses sorcery to escape his own work? ”

Xianyu frowned, this is to let him betray his peers, how can this be, I can't say it if I know, I can't mix it up after I say it. "My lord, Xianyu is immersed in studying the science of Wangqi, and I don't know what others are doing, to be honest. However, there is a person who has done a good job, that is, what I just said has been lacking, he has studied steadily, tirelessly worked hard, and the ceramic industry in Xianyang has developed rapidly, and this person has made great contributions. ”

Meng Yi nodded at Xia Kucao, so that the review is right, that is, let them expose each other, so that the problem can be discovered, and the goal of cleaning up and rectification can be achieved.

However, this Xianyu is really slippery, let him expose others, he seized the opportunity to recommend young people, such a person, can his popularity be bad? If they are all like Xianyu, then his task will not be completed.

"Xianyu, if you don't talk about others, others will also talk about yours, isn't the donkey not pregnant mentioned earlier just the material provided by others?" (To be continued.) )
