In fact, when the voice that was neither yin nor yang appeared, Zhao Xiancheng's face changed a little.

Since His Majesty's last surprise visit to the Hanlin Academy, the major officials in Beijing have all been cautious.

Sure enough, in the following time, His Majesty left the palace several times without any prior notice, and it is said that the Ministry of Industry and the Jingzhao Mansion were taken by surprise, and many officials were fined.

Could it be that His Majesty didn't know what medicine he had taken wrong today, and he actually came to Ping'an County?

Unexpectedly, before he could confirm it in a hurry, County Lieutenant Zheng opened his mouth first.

Seeing the figure pouring in from outside, his face immediately turned pale, his legs were weak, he knelt on the ground, and said in a loud voice: "Minister, minister Ping'an County, see Your Majesty!" ”

"Your Majesty, Your Majesty......"

Zheng Xianwei was stunned, looking at Zhao Xiancheng's appearance, his eyes were dark, and he lost consciousness.

Chen Huang waved his hand and said, "Drag it down, and each person will play twenty boards first." ”

There has always been only the county officer and the county lieutenant who ordered to beat other people's boards, when have they ever been beaten, Zhao County Cheng and Zheng County Lieutenant were pressed in the courtyard by the officials, and they screamed, no matter how busy the officials were, they stopped their work and came out to see the excitement.

Zhong Mingli hurriedly came out and exclaimed, "This is ......"

"This is Your Majesty." Tang Ning reluctantly introduced that his father-in-law was only a fifth-grade official, and he had no qualifications to go to the court, so naturally he had never seen the emperor.

Lord Zhao of the Criminal Department suddenly became His Majesty, Zhong Mingli was stunned for a moment, and then immediately bowed and saluted: "Minister Ping'an County Commander Zhong Mingli, I have seen Your Majesty!" ”

"No courtesy." Chen Huang's voice softened a lot.

The emperor came to the Ping'an County Ya in person, and the officials in the Ya were supposed to meet immediately, but Emperor Chen did not allow it to be publicized, and the public arrest and fast officials only guessed that it was Zhao Xiancheng and Zheng County Lieutenant who had annoyed Zhong County Commander in the past two days, causing Zhong County Commander to completely tear his face with them.

It's just that the grades of the county lieutenant and the county lieutenant are not much lower than the county order, and Lord Zhong is impulsive, and I am afraid that it will not end well in the future.

In the front hall of the county government, Chen Huang looked at Zhong Mingli and asked: "The county government is so busy, as a county magistrate and a county lieutenant, you still have time to play chess in the county, how did you make this county order?" ”

Zhong Mingli immediately bowed down and said, "The minister is guilty." ”

Chen Huang waved his hand and asked again: "Is Jing County different from Zhou County, what difficulties have you encountered in dealing with county affairs in Beijing these days?" ”

Zhong Mingli was about to open his mouth, but Tang Ning coughed heavily.

He glanced at Tang Ning, and then said: "Back to Your Majesty, Ping'an County Cheng formed a party in the yamen for personal gain, disobeyed the order, and made the yamen into a miasma, but the minister has found out that he accepted bribes and bent the law for personal gain. ”

"I've seen it too." Emperor Chen looked at Ling Yun and said, "Order the Ministry of Officials to supervise this matter as soon as possible, and not a single moth is allowed to appear in the Jingxian Yaya." ”

Ling Yun arched his hand and said, "Obey." ”

"My lord, my lord......" A figure quickly ran in from outside, Zhong Mingli glanced at Emperor Chen, then looked at the official and asked, "What's the matter?" ”

The officer's face was a little bruised, and he said: "My subordinates went to Shou'anbo Mansion to ask about the case on the orders of my lord, and I was beaten out by the subordinates of Shou'anbo Mansion......"

"Shou Amber?" Emperor Chen looked at Zhong Mingli and asked, "What case is Shou Anbo involved in?" ”

Zhong Mingli said: "Back to Your Majesty, in August last year, the household clerk of the Ping'an County Ya died at home, and the minister found out a few days ago that this case was somewhat involved with Shou Anbo, so he ordered the arrest to go quickly and ask Shou Anbo to come to the county government for inquiry. ”

"I have some impressions of this case." This case was one of the most serious cases in Beijing last year, Chen Huang thought about it and said: "The Criminal Department said that this case was a fire case, how could it be involved with Shou Anbo?" ”

Tang Ning stepped forward and said: "Back to Your Majesty, if there is a fire, the deceased will definitely struggle before death, and smoke ash will be inhaled in the mouth and nose, and if the person is already dead before the arson, there will be no soot in the mouth and nose. ”

The envelope that Su Mei gave him indicated the ins and outs of the case, and when he was flipping through the file, he inadvertently turned to this autopsy report, which was just right to string together the clues at the key points.

This forensic common sense was seen by Tang Ning in an Internet before, and he still remembered that the name of that one seemed to be called "Take the Clinic to Cross......

Emperor Chen looked at him and asked, "You can deduce these just from the soot in the deceased's mouth and nose?" ”

Tang Ning nodded and said, "The living can lie, but the dead will never lie, they are more credible than the living." ”

Chen Huang was still a little puzzled: "Even if he was murdered, how did he involve Shou Anbo?" ”

Tang Ning explained: "But with this case, it may not be possible to contact Shou Ningbo, but a month before the case, Xu Shu's wife was molested by a gentleman on the street, and the case went to the county government, and finally it was over, and a month later, Xu Shuyi and his wife both died at home, and the ...... who molested Xu Shuzhi was the son of Shou Anbo." ”

He looked at Emperor Chen and said, "Based on this article alone, it may not be possible to determine that this case was instructed by the Shou'an Bo Mansion, but people's lives are at stake, and it is necessary to invite them to come to the county government to inquire." ”

Emperor Chen asked, "Didn't the county government summon the son of Shou Anhou last year?" ”

Tang Ning explained: "Back to Your Majesty, it has now been ascertained that it was Zhao Xiancheng who accepted a bribe from the Shou'an Hou Mansion and selected the son of Shou An Hou from this case. ”

Emperor Chen nodded and said, "Lingyun, you go to the Shou'an Hou Mansion and bring the son of the Shou'an Hou." ”

"Your Majesty, slow down." Tang Ning stepped forward and said, "The minister has a plan, which can be used to test it first." ”

Emperor Chen looked at him and said, "Let's hear it." ”

……

In the Hou Mansion of Shou'an, a woman looked at the middle-aged man and asked, "Master, what are they doing when they send Lin Er to the county office?" ”

"The one surnamed Zhao, what kind of fame is he doing?" The middle-aged man frowned and muttered before he said, "Don't worry, just ask a few words, I'll be back soon." ”

Ping'an County Ya.

A young man, led by several arresters, walked into the county office and asked, "Where is Zhao Xiancheng, if there is anything to ask, hurry up and ask." ”

A catcher quickly led him into the county government and said: "Lord Zhao said, this time, the criminal department issued a death order to thoroughly investigate the case, but Gongzi don't worry, as long as 10,000 taels of silver, he can help Shou'an Hou Mansion completely settle this matter." ”

"Ten thousand taels!" The young man was suddenly shocked and said: "The surname Zhao is crazy, didn't he already give him 1,000 taels last year, what else does he want 10,000 taels for, buy a coffin?" ”

Na Catch immediately said: "This can't be blamed on Lord Zhao, who let you accidentally make the case so big, it is eight lives, how can it be suppressed so easily?" ”

The young man's brows furrowed and he said, "Where is the surname Zhao, let him come to see me!" ”

Na Kuai smiled and said: "The people from the Criminal Department are now in the front office, Lord Zhao is accompanying them, the county government has found a lot of evidence, if Lord Zhao hands it over, even if it is Shou Uncle, he will not be able to keep his son." ”

The young man gritted his teeth and said in a deep voice: "Ten thousand taels is too much, the lion surnamed Zhao has a big mouth, and there must be a limit!" ”

Na Catcher looked at him quickly and said: "10,000 taels buy eight lives, Gongzi can calculate it, this wave is not a loss......"

The young man snorted coldly and said: "It's just eight cheap lives, it's not worth so much silver, you go and tell the surnamed Zhao, five thousand taels, not one tael more!" ”

Crash!

In the back hall of the county government, there was a sound of tables and chairs overturning.

Emperor Chen strode out of the back hall, kicked the young man on the body, kicked him to the ground, and said angrily: "How can the imperial court clean you bastards!" ”
