Chapter 7: The Black Hand Behind the Scenes

"No, it is possible that Hu Yingjia did not do this. Shen Chongming frowned, and as he spoke, he bent down and closed the eyes of the two subordinates.

"My lord, who else but this old thief! Huang Huaicai was arrested, and he was the biggest threat to him, he was clearly killing people. Ma Erdan said a little anxiously, "Except for him, my subordinates can't think of anyone else who would think of Huang Huaicai's life." ”

"Take a good look, Huang Huaicai only has a wound on his neck, and these two brothers each have dozens of knives, who do you think the thieves are trying to kill?" Shen Chongming stretched out his horsewhip and pointed at Huang Huaicai, who fell to the ground, and asked.

"This ......" Ma Erdan hesitated for a while, and said with some uncertainty: "Maybe these two brothers fought with the thieves at that time, and this is why they have so many scars." ”

Ma Erdan is just a military man, not a veteran of Jinyi Wei, Shen Chongming knows that it is difficult to change the things that this kid recognizes, so he can only rely on the facts to speak.

He waved his hand at one of his subordinates, who immediately stepped forward to examine the bodies of his two companions.

"Sixteen stabs in the body, the fatal knife in the abdomen, directly penetrated the body. The rest are serious, one is a knife to the knee, and the scar should have been hit by the back of the knife, and the kneecap was shattered. The other is the knife on the ankle, one inch into the 'flesh', the tendon is directly cut off, and the last place is the finger, not a knife wound, and the five fingers are broken by brute force. As he spoke, Captain Jinyi raised his hand and wiped the tears from the corners of his eyes, then turned around and went to check on another one.

"Although the stab wounds in the body are somewhat different, the fatal stab is exactly the same as the three most serious wounds, and it should be done by one person."

Ma Erdan's face was full of shock, and he was speechless for a while, it seemed that he was guessed correctly by the adults, this was clearly aimed at Jinyiwei, and it may have nothing to do with Huang Huaicai.

"You say, who has such a deep hatred with us?" Shen Chongming glanced back at his subordinates.

"My lord, except for Wuwei, my subordinates can't think of anyone else." Needless to say, Ma Erdan also guessed that it was Wuweijiao, who had just slaughtered one of their hall masters and two King Kong a few days ago, which was clearly to take revenge.

Shen Chongming nodded silently, but his brows were furrowed deeper and deeper, and he suddenly appeared without teaching, just for revenge. If it's just for revenge, you can come directly to yourself, and there's no need to do such a poisonous blow to two unknown captains.

"My lord, what's wrong?" Ma Erdan looked at Shen Chongming frowning and didn't speak, and couldn't help but ask out loud.

"It's not good." Shen Chongming frowned and said, he already had a little grasp of the purpose of Wuwei Sect's trip in his heart, and when he thought of that result, he felt a chill in his back, this group of people is really ruthless, and they will do whatever it takes to achieve their goals. "Let's go, go back to the inn."

When he returned to the inn, he found that there were a few more people dressed as yacha in front of the 'door', Shen Chongming's pupils shrank, if he guessed correctly, he should be the people of the Guide Mansion, after all, two days have passed since the incident, and they should have reacted a little.

"My lord, Feng Shuangxin, the prefect of Germany, is here." Seeing Shen Chongming come back, a Jinyi captain in front of the 'door' hurriedly stepped forward and said. While speaking, Feng Shuangxin, who was originally waiting in the inn, hurriedly walked out, "Xiaguan returns to Feng Shuangxin, the prefect of Germany, and meets Lord Shen." ”

"Hehe, Lord Feng, hurry up and excuse me." Shen Chongming turned over and dismounted to help him, and Feng Shuangxin, who was bowing, straightened up with a flattering face. "The lower official suddenly heard that something big had happened in Ningling, so he immediately rushed over non-stop. I really didn't expect that Huang Huaicai's guy would be so bold and reckless, and the subordinate was a boss who didn't notice it, and he was really ashamed of the court. ”

said in a high-sounding manner, seeing that Shen Chongming still had that expression, Feng Shuangxin couldn't help but feel a little embarrassed, so he had to change the topic and said: "My lord, dare to ask Huang Huaicai where he is being detained now, and the lower officials should interrogate him and let him spit out those greedy disaster relief silver." ”

Feng Shuangxin had already received the news of Huang Huaicai's tragic death in prison on the way here, this was not the hand he sent to do it, and said that Hu Yingjia was not worried about himself, so he also sent someone to do this. But no matter what, now that Huang Huaicai is dead, the only clue on Shen Chongming's hand has been broken, Feng Shuangxin is really relieved, and he has a little confidence when he speaks.

"Lord Feng is one step late, Huang Huai was killed in prison last night." Saying that, Shen Chongming glanced at Feng Shuangxin with interest, if he guessed correctly, this guy came so soon, I am afraid that he is thinking of taking over the errand in Ningling County, so that he will not be able to investigate along this line anymore.

Feng Shuangxin pretended to be surprised, and said with a stunned face: "How, how can this be?" "Yes, originally the official only thought that all the disaster relief money that was embezzled was pocketed by Huang Huaicai, but now it seems that things are not so simple, there must be another black hand behind him, this is killing people."

As he spoke, Shen Chongming smiled slightly, lowered his voice and asked, "Lord Feng, this person can't be you, right?" ”

Governor Feng was taken aback, waved his hand with a nervous face, and said: "My lord, this joke can't be made, it has been less than two years since Xia Guan came to Guide Mansion, and he and Huang Huaicai haven't said a total of ten words, how can it have anything to do with this matter." ”

"Hehe, Governor Feng doesn't have to be nervous, the official just said it casually." Shen Chongming smiled and snorted, "By the way, since Lord Feng is here, the official will no longer be in charge of Ningling's disaster relief affairs, and the stock of the granary is not much. Of course, it is not a problem to recover the 120,000 taels of disaster relief silver hidden by Huang Huaicai. ”

"Yes, yes, don't worry, my lord, the lower officials will definitely do everything they can to raise food." Governor Feng hurriedly agreed, and involuntarily reached out to wipe the cold sweat on his forehead.

"Well, that's fine, then the official won't keep you." After that, he flicked his sleeves and entered the inn, leaving only Governor Feng standing there panting with a few of his subordinates.

He heard what Shen Chongming meant, which clearly showed that he didn't want to investigate the whereabouts of the disaster relief silver. It's no wonder that although he is a Qincha, he is responsible for the repair of water conservancy, and local disaster relief is not 'involved' at all, and with such a big involvement, no one will be troublesome.

Breathing a sigh of relief, Governor Feng rushed to the county government with people, this mess still needs to be cleaned up by himself after all, Shen Chongming is right, once there is really a disaster victim making trouble, he will not be able to get rid of it.

Capital.

Hu Yingjia's 'legs' are fast enough, and the letter asking for help has been placed on Ouyang Jingzhi's desk two days and two nights. Hu Yingjia is a confidant of Boss Ouyang, and if he dares to do anything about the disaster relief silver, how can he not have the benefit of Boss Ouyang, because of this, the Metropolitan Procuratorate, which is responsible for supervision, will collectively lose its voice in this matter.

However, Rao is Ouyang Boss's eyes were like torches, and he never thought that Hu Yingjia, who was as well-behaved as a cat in front of him, would be so bold, and Hu Yingjia was greedy for more than 400,000 taels of nearly one million taels of disaster relief silver sent to Henan. Even more audacious is that he actually participated in the price hike of food.

Ouyang Jingzhi didn't know all this at present, after all, the silver was still in Hu Yingjia's hands, and he hadn't had time to pay dividends, and he didn't have the heart to care about these small money.

Despite this, looking at the letter on the desk, I was still worried. was unexpectedly discovered by Shen Chongming to leak a 'hole', which is a big mistake. This guy is a very 'color', coupled with the identity of Jinyiwei, once he really 'intervenes' in this matter, he will definitely involve Hu Yingjia, and may even involve himself. said, he must not be allowed to do this, only then can everyone be safe

After pondering for a while, the experienced Ouyang Jingzhi had a plan, and it seemed that the only way to entangle him was to find something to entangle him, so that he would not have time to 'intervene' in the matter of disaster relief silver. It's easy to find such a thing, repairing water conservancy is his job, this is also something that Xu Ge has always been worried about, as long as he goes to talk about it, he will definitely put pressure on the emperor. "Someone, prepare a sedan chair."

rushed to Xu's mansion, but learned that Xu Jie went to the palace to do business, and in desperation, Ouyang Jingzhi had to wait quietly in the living room with a shy face, after all, the matter is not small, and the sooner you act, the better.

They are in action, a leader of nearly 100 people and horses of Jinyiwei has already dressed up and gone out of the city, the target is directly 'forced' Henan, Shen Chongming flying pigeon to pass the book, and the people who have nothing to teach appear in Henan, it is very likely that they are thinking of inciting the victims to make trouble! As soon as he received the letter, the old man dispatched the leader to Henan south, and he hurried into the palace to report the matter to Emperor Longqing.

At this time, Xu Jie and his old man stood in front of Emperor Longqing together to listen to the inquiry.

"This Wuwei Sect is simply a 'yin' soul that will not be dispersed, the two of you must have a snack on Henan's affairs, if it weren't for Shen Aiqing to find out something strange this time, the consequences would be unimaginable. Also, for the matter of deducting disaster relief money, it must be strictly investigated to the end, and none of the officials involved can be let go. Emperor Longqing said angrily, even if he was in the palace, he felt that he was in danger, and this feeling was too uncomfortable.

As soon as Emperor Longqing's words fell, Xu Jie bowed down and said: "Your Majesty, this disaster relief mission is Hu Yingjia, the left imperial envoy of the Metropolitan Procuratorate, and Weichen must order him to strictly investigate this matter, and if it is unfavorable, he must be severely punished." ”

This is also no way, he squeezed Shen Chongming to Henan on an errand, but it was to make him fall into the mess of repairing water conservancy. I never thought that there would be such a bad thing just a few days after he arrived in Henan, and he must not be allowed to leave his original errand to take care of the matter of greedy ink. Otherwise, with Jin Yiwei's ability, it is difficult to find out that there is nothing at all, and it can only be regarded as giving him another opportunity to receive a meritorious award, so that stealing the 'chicken' will not be a loss.

Emperor Longqing didn't understand this, and when he heard this, he also felt reasonable, and nodded: "Well, it's very good, Hu Yingjia investigated the matter of embezzlement of ink, and Shen Aiqing took over the matter of Wuwei Sect again, and the two-pronged plan must be completely smashed to the Wuwei Sect, and they must not be given the slightest chance!" ”

"Yes, Wechen must urge them." Xu Jie's heart was overjoyed, and he hurriedly bowed down and said. The old man also nodded, but he was very disdainful in his heart, these civil officials really have enough 'flowers' and 'flowers' intestines.
