Chapter 381: Second Understanding
With Zhang Changshou's story, Gongsun Jian not only understood his criminal process, but also understood a question that he had been curious about just now.
That's You Jing's words, is that the cause of the incident?
I have to say that everything in the world is really peculiar, and Gongsun Jian originally planned to investigate the cause of this case, but when Zhang Changshou told the matter, Gongsun Jian was disappointed.
The cause is very simple, it is what Zhang Changshou said inadvertently just now.
Just because the two were arguing, You Jing scolded Zhang Changshou for being old and immortal, why didn't he die?
Since then, Zhang Changshou has been full of resentment towards You Jing in his heart, and he has been thinking about how to kill You Jing all day long.
I have to say that Zhang Changshou's determination is really big enough, the two scolded each other for many months, even if You Jing wanted to have a good relationship with him later, but Zhang Changshou was only warm and harmonious on the surface, but in fact, he was secretly preparing how to kill You Jing.
At that time, because he considered that his physical strength was not good, Zhang Changshou was ready to use poison, and even more so how to hide his traces.
So, he thought of Thunder Fordii.
After all, many people usually use Tripterygium wilford to repel insects, of course, a small amount of it can also achieve the effect of strengthening the body.
When Zhang Changshou took a pot of tea soaked in Tripterygium Vine and handed it to You Jing, the other party just thought that Zhang Changshou had forgiven himself and made a pot of tea to apologize to himself, so You Jing happily accepted it.
It's just that You Jing doesn't know what kind of dark heart is buried under Zhang Changshou's gentle smile.
As time went by, You Jing drank more and more tea with Tripterygium wilfordii.
In fact, after a long time, Zhang Changshou also considered whether to let You Jing go, but unfortunately, when he thought that the other party scolded him for being old and immortal, his heart fell ruthlessly.
Zhang Changshou cherished his life the most, so that no girl took a fancy to him when he was young, and he is still alone in his seventies.
Therefore, when You Jing scolded him for why he didn't die, he had a thorn in his heart.
Unless You Jing disappears, he won't be able to sleep.
It is precisely because of this that when he gave You Jing tea for the last time, Zhang Changshou still did not give up, and as long as he couldn't sleep every night, he would think about You Jing.
And when the news of You Jing's death came, Zhang Changshou finally slept contentedly.
After Zhang Changshou finished signing and postponing, Gongsun Jian shook his head helplessly.
Just one small thing suddenly raised the heart of murder.
Zhang Changshou is too fussful, right?
However, now that the confession has been obtained, the next step is to look for the remaining evidence.
Maybe it was because he had no heart to resist, so Zhang Changshou soon explained the matter, although there was a little bit of Lei Gongtian left in the end, but it can also be used as evidence.
According to Zhang Changshou's confession, he bought Lei Gongteng from the people through dispersion, and finally poisoned You Jing.
With Zhang Changshou's confession, coupled with the evidence of those who were vaguely remembered by Zhang Changshou who sold him Lei Gongteng, the case was finally closed, and Zhang Changshou was imprisoned in Pingmo Prison.
Just wait for tomorrow morning, and be escorted to the county prison by Gongsun Jian and his party.
However, the matter was not over yet, when Zhang Changshou was about to be escorted to the prison by several officials, he looked at Gongsun Jian.
In fact, he was very unwilling in his heart, because until now, he didn't know the name of Gongsun Jian.
Therefore, seeing that he was about to leave the yamen, Zhang Changshou, who was unwilling, hurriedly turned his head and shouted at Gongsun Jian: "Can the adults tell Xiao Lao'er their name, so that at least they can die with peace of mind." ”
Hearing this, Gongsun Jian was stunned, he couldn't understand why Zhang Changshou was asking here.
After all, there will be time for him to be escorted to the county tomorrow.
However, just as Gongsun Jian was about to make a flurry, Gu Qing on the side felt that the opportunity to express himself had arrived.
He shouted with a smug face: "This is the third Tanhualang Gongsun Jian in the Great Zhou Imperial Examination, and he is currently the head of the Criminal Division of Linlang County." After speaking, he looked at Zhang Changshou and asked with a smug face, "Do you know now?" ”
Gu Qing's words made Zhang Changshou suddenly realize, no wonder he saw the county order Wang Hui so respectful to Gongsun Jian just now, it turned out to be the head of the county's criminal department!
Then he sighed without knowing whether it was true or not: "If you can lose in the hands of Lord Gongsun, the villain is not wronged." ”
Gongsun Jian was speechless when he said this, what does it mean to be unjust?
This is obviously his crime and deserves it, okay!
Murder should pay for life, and a murderer is still strong.
Fortunately, it seemed that Gongsun Jian was impatient, and the officials also hurriedly escorted Zhang Changshou away.
Of course, Zhang Changshou is not the only one who knows Gongsun Jian's name and position, and the people outside the yamen also know Gongsun Jian's name.
They were all not afraid of embarrassment and shouted at Gongsun Jian: "Lord Gongsun is really like a god in solving the case, he just came to Pingmo and caught the murderer." ”
This person is also smart when he speaks, not only praised Gongsun Jian, but also belittled Wang Hui, the commander of Pingmo County.
The reason why he dared to say this was because Gongsun Jian was the head of the Criminal Division of Linlang County.
If you find fault in the future, it will be equivalent to slapping Gongsun Jian in the face, so when he says this, he is not worried at all.
Hearing this person's words, Wang Hui in the yamen was very annoyed and embarrassed, after all, the facts were indeed as this person said, he had not caught the murderer for a month.
And Gongsun Jian, just a few hours after coming to Pingmo, the murderer was arrested.
In such a comparison, isn't Wang Hui very incompetent?
It's just that, looking at the satisfied smile of Gongsun Jian beside him, Wang Hui didn't dare to get angry, and at the same time, he could give a flattering smile to Gongsun Jian.
"The adult is indeed handling the case like a god, and the lower officials admire it tightly."
Glancing at Wang Hui's reluctant smile slightly, Gongsun Jian smiled, and then hurriedly said modestly: "Lord Wang has won the award, the reason why this official can be so fast is thanks to the clues you provided before, Lord Wang." ”
Although this is very false, it alleviates Wang Hui's embarrassment to a certain extent.
Sure enough, hearing Gongsun Jian's words, Wang Hui next to him finally let out a sincere smile.
At the same time, he also kept sighing in his heart, no wonder Gongsun Jian became the head of the criminal department from the sixth grade at such a young age.
With this ability to speak alone, it is difficult not to promote the rank.
It's just that as soon as this thought arose, Wang Hui suddenly thought that Gongsun Jian seemed to be resisting the decree and was arranged here by the emperor.
For a while, Wang Hui was a little confused.
If Gongsun Jian was suppressed to this side, then why did he already go from the sixth rank in just one year?
Moreover, looking at Gongsun Jian's ability to speak, he felt that the matter of resisting the decree was not arranged by the official family.
Thinking of this possibility, Wang Hui's heart could no longer get rid of it.
After all, judging from his observation of Gongsun Jian's character, it seems impossible to resist the decree at all, so it is only possible that the official family will resist the decree if he discusses it with him.
Therefore, when Gongsun Jian followed Wang Hui Dao to the mansion behind the yamen to rest.
Wang Hui on the side looked enthusiastic.
There is an opportunity to hug the thighs in front of them, and no one is likely to give it up.
Besides, Wang Hui is still young, he is not like the county guard Chen Zhi, he has no nature of promotion, Wang Hui still wants to develop well in the career of the Great Zhou.
Gongsun Jian didn't know much about his sudden enthusiasm at first, but when Wang Hui brought the topic to the capital, he woke up instantly.
However, Gongsun Jian is not stupid, he can take advantage of the situation, maybe he will be able to use this Wang Hui in the future?
Therefore, he smiled slightly and said to Wang Hui: "Lord Wang, you don't know yet, my ancient brother is not ordinary, his martial arts are very high, and I brought it from the capital." ”
When talking about the word capital, Gongsun Jian deliberately added a little accent.
"Capital!" Wang Hui was shocked and gasped.
came out of the capital, his martial arts were still high, and the most important thing was that Gongsun Jian still called him an ancient brother.
Together, as long as a slightly smart person can think that Gu Qing's identity is definitely not ordinary, and even the emperor specially sent him to protect Gongsun Jian.
Therefore, as soon as he heard Gongsun Jian's words, although Wang Hui's heart was very shocked, he also began to be quietly enthusiastic about Gu Qing on the surface.
"Brother Gu, you drink more tea, I specially asked people to buy this tea in the state, don't be too bad." Wang Hui said to Gu Qing with a smile.
At this time, Wang Hui, who had never said a word to Gu Qing, directly called Gu Qing Gu Brother when he noticed that Gu Qing's identity was unusual.
It seems that he directly put Gu Qing's status on an equal footing with himself.
After all, he didn't turn the corner, and seeing that Wang Hui also called himself Brother Gu, Gu Qing didn't react.
said directly and modestly: "Lord Wang, you are too polite, I am a thick-skinned person, and I don't mind anything." ”
On the side, Gongsun Jian, who was sitting on the main seat, saw Gu Qing like this, and secretly shook his head in his heart.
Brother Gu, Brother Gu, when will you become smart!
Of course, this is just Gongsun Jian's thoughts at this time.
If Gu Qing really became smarter, then Gongsun Jian might be scared to death.
After all, dealing with smart people, and being a smart person who can't be driven away, that Gongsun Jian has to die of exhaustion just to prevent him every day.
In the evening, Wang Hui, who was originally ready to entertain Gongsun Jian, when he understood that Gu Qing's identity was not ordinary, he wasted a lot of effort and made a dish that could only be eaten in the capital.
Seeing this familiar dish, Gu Qing was a little surprised.
Gu Qing, who originally wanted to stay silent, said to Wang Hui with some surprise: "Lord Wang, where did you get the dishes that you can only eat in the capital?" I haven't eaten it in a long time. ”
Hearing this, Gongsun Jian on the side shook his head again.
However, unlike him, Wang Hui was even more sure that Gu Qing was the person next to the emperor.
After all, if ordinary people want to eat the dishes in the Beijing restaurant, the value must be unusual.
But seeing that Gu Qing was willing to give Gongsun Jian a handicap, he could eat these dishes, so he didn't have to think about it to understand that Gu Qing was not small.
Smiling slightly, Wang Hui over there hurriedly explained: "Didn't you hear that Brother Gu had stayed in the capital?" So I asked the shopkeeper of the restaurant to arrange these dishes in advance. ”
"Thank you so much, Lord Wang." Gu Qing glanced at Gongsun Jian and hurriedly thanked him.
The reason why he glanced at Gongsun Jian was because he only remembered what Gongsun Jian had been explaining all along, and in front of outsiders, he couldn't say much.
So, I quickly ended the chat with Wang Hui.
It's just that when he looked at Gongsun Jian's movements, Wang Hui also found out.
Gu Qing, a servant, listened to Gongsun Jian's words like this, how could Gongsun Jian's identity be simple.
Therefore, at this time, Wang Hui no longer doubted the idea just now.
Gongsun Jian was definitely deliberately arranged by the official family to experience it, in order to make a difference in the court in the future.
Thinking of this, looking at Gongsun Jian, the destined minister of the future Great Zhou, if Wang Hui didn't want to have a relationship with him, it would be considered a county order for nothing.
Of course, Wang Hui was very glad that he didn't call the county Cheng with him tonight.
Otherwise, wouldn't the opportunity to perform be given to others?
"My lord, I would like to give you a glass and thank you for helping Xia Guan handle the case this time." Wang Hui picked up the wine glass and said to Gongsun Kendao with a respectful face.
