Chapter 170: The Case Is Solved
After three days of cleaning up the explosion at the Wang Gong factory, it was finally determined that about 150 people were killed, less than 800 were injured, and about 300 houses were destroyed, of which the Criminal Department and the Metropolitan Procuratorate were seriously damaged, and 8,000 taels were needed to renovate them.
If the fire losses are also included, the total property losses should be 300,000 taels, of which the palace accounts for half.
Overall, the loss was bearable.
After all, if Wang Yue and Wang Qiong hadn't transported more than ninety percent of the gunpowder out, all the gunpowder stored in Wang Gong's factory would explode together, which would have blown up a big hole in the southwest corner of the capital.
The cost of repairing the city walls is terrifying.
Obviously, Wang Yue and Wang Qiong have made great contributions.
But none of these two people dare to claim to be heroes, the reason is very simple, the Queen Mother is injured! The old lady has been in the palace for decades, she has suffered a lot, and it is easy to get out, and she sees her grandson ascending the throne and becoming the queen mother, she should enjoy a few years of happiness, and her old man also said that she is looking forward to Zhu Houxi's wedding, if she can see the next generation, she will die without regrets.
At this time, the old lady fell and was unconscious, and the doctors were frightened, even if they were rescued, it was hard to say what would happen.
Shaw's injuries were like a dark cloud that weighed on everyone's heads.
Zhu Houxi was furious, just during the explosion, the palace maids and eunuchs who were scurrying around in the palace made him abolish more than 500 people, and all of them rushed to Fengyang to guard the ancestral tomb.
The princes of the court, even Wang Yue, were scolded by Zhu Houxi.
……
Old Yang Yiqing was worried, he was like watching the fire, in fact, when it came to the large number of people and sharp minions, Yang Tinghe was still far superior to them, and the only thing they were commendable was the Holy Favor of the Son of Heaven.
Although Wang Yue and Wang Qiong have made great contributions, the Empress Dowager does not know life and death after all, and there is no final conclusion, even Zhu Houxi can't help but be angry.
For Yang Tinghe, it doesn't matter if he wants a saint or not, anyway, there aren't many of them.
But for Wang Yue's side, it's different, if the monarch and the minister have a dislike, it will be a catastrophe!
Victory was in sight, but now the situation has changed dramatically!
"Yang Tinghe, did you do it with your old thing?" Yang Yiqing gritted his teeth, with a pair of old eyes, kept patrolling, spinning, thinking about how to crack it.
In any case, he had already lost to Yang Tinghe once, if he couldn't keep Wang Yue and couldn't pass the test smoothly, he might as well die.
Yang Tinghe thought about it for a long time, but he had no idea, so he had to get up, use crutches, and go to the back garden to relax, maybe he could think of a good way.
When he arrived in the back garden, he found two girls walking and chatting, and one of them said: "The people in this capital are really interesting, when I passed by a street corner, someone took the initiative to send money and let me go to condolence, saying that after entering, I would give one or two pieces of silver." ”
The other woman couldn't help but laugh, "Sister Yang is talking nonsense again, someone has paid money for happy events, so that the big guys are happy." How can a funeral be done like that? ”
"Whoever says it's not, I think it's weird too! But after careful inquiry, I have figured out that this person who dares to die of love has a bad reputation and is a gangster. This time he died suddenly because of the explosion of Wang Gong's factory, and his wife was heartbroken, she said that her husband was a good person, but there was some misunderstanding. Now that everyone is dead, she wants to correct her husband's name! ”
"Correct name?"
"That's right! is to invite some respectable guests, the more they come, the bigger the scene, it proves that her husband is more popular, and the more people he has helped, otherwise how could so many people come to pay tribute! ”
"That's a way to do it." The woman smiled: "Sister Yang, according to this, this woman is still affectionate and righteous, but there are many people who go?" ”
"Many! Why not much, I heard that there were three or five hundred miles on the first day! ”
"That's a lot of money!" The woman silently calculated, one person gave one or two pieces of silver, and also had to prepare wine and food, hire a cook, rent tableware, and build a shed, candles, tribute, and coffin...... If you don't have two or three thousand taels, don't think about it!
"In the end, in the capital, just a gangster can come up with a few thousand taels. When I saw Master a few days ago, he was still muttering, people's livelihood is difficult, and now it seems that there is also an inequality between the rich and the poor, and there is a world of difference between people! ”
The two of them chatted, bypassed the gazebo, and when they turned around, they happened to see Yang Yiqing.
"Meet the old uncle!"
"Meet the Heavenly Official!"
These two people are really Miss Yang and Firefly.
Yang Yiqing frowned slightly, "Girl, you just said that someone spent a few thousand taels on a funeral, but is there such a thing?" ”
"Yes!" Miss Yang stuck out her tongue slightly, "Old Uncle Zu, I won't run around anymore, and please don't blame Old Uncle Zu." ”
"No!" Yang Yiqing waved his hand and suddenly smiled: "Girl, you ran around well!" The old man asked you, how could you suddenly have money for a funeral when you lost your life in this explosion? Isn't that weird? ”
Miss Yang pondered for a moment, "Then, is their family rich?" ”
"No!" Yang Yiqing said: "If you have a few thousand taels, you won't be a gangster, and if you are a serious person, if you encounter a situation of death, the funeral will not be a big deal!" There must be something wrong with this! ”
Yang Yiqing frowned slightly, thinking for a moment, only the nouveau riche would do such a ridiculous thing, and the nouveau riche in the explosion?
This makes people think about it...... "Girl, you lead the way in front, the old man will transfer troops and surround that house, I want to see if there is any problem!" ”
Yang Yiqing made a move, and at this moment, a family not far away, they lived in a large courtyard, there was a woman in her early thirties, dressed in plain white, with tears on her face, she cried outside for a while, and then walked into the house.
Before he could sit down, an old woman came in.
"Sister-in-law Song, there are dozens of guests here, and there are not enough dishes."
"Buy!" The woman said categorically: "My old Song died unjustly, I can't let him go like this, I have to do a big job, and I want everyone to eat and drink well!" Even after a few years, when the neighbors mention it, they have to say that Lao Song's funeral is this! ”
She raised her thumb and took out an ingot.
"Aunt Si, you go to the market to buy vegetables, what elbows, scallops, sea cucumbers, chickens and ducks, you want! We don't lack money! Madame said proudly.
The old woman took the heavy silver and praised it, "Sister-in-law Song, you two really have feelings, and no one can compare." Okay, I'll go. ”
The old lady walked away happily, and the woman had a faint satisfaction on her face, the money was really well spent!
She pondered for a moment and sat down to drink tea.
At this moment, suddenly the door opened again, and a monk rushed in from outside.
The woman was startled, "Where did you come from, the pickled bald donkey, why do you run anywhere, get out of here!" ”
As soon as she finished speaking, the other party rushed over, wrapped one hand around her waist, and covered her mouth with the other!
Oh my God!
This master is too brave!
Directly at the funeral, raiding the widow, what else would you not dare to do?
The woman was about to curse, but the person on the other side took off the monk's hat, and the woman saw clearly.
"You! How are you still alive? ”
The person on the other side was none other than her dead husband Lao Song!
"Dead ghost, you cheated the corpse?" The woman was surprised.
"You're just cheating the corpse!" Old Song said viciously: "I threw the money in the yard, why didn't you run away with the money?" ”
The woman was dumbfounded, "So, that's the money you gave me?" Didn't God see that you were wronged, send me silver, and let me do a funeral for you? ”
"Phew! When has God been kind! ”
Lao Song is crazy, this stupid loser is simply killing a person!
"What are you still tossing, run quickly!"
"Run? This, this funeral is still being done! You, don't you see? If you really die next time, you won't be able to see this excitement! ”
Lao Song's eyes turned black, and he was angry when he checked the order.
He has been bad for eight lifetimes, how did he marry such a second daughter-in-law!
"Look at what? Look at it again and it becomes true! ”
After saying that, he didn't care about anything, he pulled his daughter-in-law, and planned to send him to run away.
"Wait, take the silver!"
The woman turned, and with great difficulty, took out a box from under the bed. Lao Song couldn't stand it anymore, so he simply opened it, grabbed out a few big ingots, stuffed them directly into his arms, and didn't care about the rest, pulling his unwilling daughter-in-law and running from the back window.
They jumped down and dropped one!
The woman hurriedly grabbed it, Lao Song was so anxious that he farted, and the two of them jumped down from the wall of the latrine, and just ran two steps, a few people appeared in front of them.
"Don't run, come with us to the yamen!"
Lao Song sat on the ground with his ass, it's over!
Suddenly, he turned his head and grabbed his daughter-in-law's neck!
"You scumbag! You're going to kill me! So many people have died, you have to cut it with a thousand knives! ”
His daughter-in-law was also wronged!
"The head of the house, you have no conscience, the old lady will give you a funeral, and the money is like running water, and you don't feel distressed at all. No, it's still going to let you die beautifully, do you still have a heart? ”
"Funeral! Funeral! If you hadn't tossed it, would you have been caught? This time, if it comes true, we won't survive! ”
The woman was stunned for a long time, covering her face and crying.
Yang Yiqing walked slowly at this moment, a smile appeared on the old man's face, and he couldn't help but touch Miss Yang's head.
"Girl, you are really a lucky star, such a big case, let you solve it!"
At this moment, the most surprised person is none other than Miss Yang...... What's going on, I've solved the case?
