"Maybe the emperor thinks he's more suitable."

Qing Ruxu's expression was a little complicated: "The responsibility of the Imperial City Division is not only to supervise the courtiers, but also to deal with people in the rivers and lakes, and they must be familiar with the rules of the rivers and lakes. Because of this, the people of the Imperial City Division can enter the yamen and go out of the rivers and lakes. The things they encounter are strange, they are flexible in handling things, they can deter officials in the imperial court, and they also have great power in the rivers and lakes, which is a good control of the local power far from the capital......"

It took the two girls a long time to digest what she said, Lan Zhou thought for a while and said, "What does the girl mean that the emperor has taken a fancy to Jiang Gongzi and has been a bandit?" ”

Shizhou's cleverness also came: "When the emperor allowed Gongzi Jiang to conduct scientific expeditions, wouldn't he have thought of it earlier?" ”

Qing Ruxu turned around and glared at her: "You dare to speculate about the emperor's intentions, you don't want to live anymore?" ”

"Oh, the slave is talking......"

Qing Ruxu was a little absent-minded, waving her hand casually, thinking about what her father had just said to her grandmother......

Father said that the Imperial City Division is a malaise in the emperor's heart, and he has long wanted to rectify it, but in fact, it is more than that. The emperor not only wants to rectify the Imperial City Division, but also wants to reuse the Imperial City Division! But such a place is a double-edged sword for the imperial court, and if one is not good, it will repeat the mistakes of Emperor Taizu at that time. Therefore, the emperor chose a newcomer to test the waters.

As for why it was Jiang Rin, Qing Ruxu didn't know. But she knew that Jiang Rin had taken the first step on the road to becoming the emperor's eagle dog.

In the previous life, the Imperial City Division was indeed rejuvenated in Jiang Rin's hands, repeatedly solving major cases and eliminating harm for the people, and did not do despicable bad things like Emperor Taizu. But Jiang Rin's reputation is still not very good, everyone respects him in front of people, and the celebrities around the emperor dare not offend, and there are many people who say that he is a traitor.

In the previous life, Qing Ruxu did not think carefully about how Jiang Rin embarked on the path of traitor. But since his rebirth, Jiang Rin's every move seems to show that he himself is going to be a traitor, otherwise why didn't he go to the Hanlin Academy to stay honestly, and he had to go to the Imperial City Division? Don't you just want to use the Imperial City Division, a piece of imperial court ills and insurance, to seek wealth and nobility......

Is...... Everyone has their own ambitions!

"Why is the girl stunned? How do you plan to get to Changping County? The old lady can allow you to leave the house, but she won't let you go out of the city alone! ”

"Changping County is only an hour away from the capital, and it is not much farther than the Great Ci'en Temple. There is a small temple over there, and I told my grandmother that I dreamed of the Bodhisattva in that temple last night, and asked me to help go to Changping County, where he blessed, to give up some money and food, and then he would repay me with five years of life, and my grandmother would definitely agree. ”

The two girls didn't know what to say when they heard this, and they were stunned for a long time before they were stunned: "Girl, you dare to make up this kind of thing, aren't you afraid that the Bodhisattva will blame you?" ”

"The Bodhisattva purifies all sentient beings and is compassionate, and he will not blame me."

Shizhou was stunned, there doesn't seem to be anything wrong with this? Lan Zhou was dumbfounded for a long time before he spoke: "Uh...... The good girl is to do good deeds and accumulate merit......"

In the evening, Qingru Xu went to Songhe Hall to ask for peace without mentioning anything, and the next morning, she disguised herself and took Lan Zhou to Wangjiang Tower.

Bai Jingze had already obtained the case file from Jiang Rin at this time, and was shrinking in the corner of Wangjiang Tower to check it carefully.

"Brother White!"

Qingru Xu greeted him, and Bai Jingze immediately raised his head: "Hey, little brother Song, why are you here, didn't we say that we would go to Changping County together tomorrow?" ”

"I was thinking, let's go to the Huang family in the east of the city today, and then I'll come here to find you." She wanted to go by herself, but she was a woman after all, and if she was recognized, things would not be easy.

Bai Jingze immediately came to his senses when he heard this, "I also have this intention, this is a case file, you take a look first, and after reading it, we will go to Huang Sanyuan and ask questions." ”

Qing Ruxu took the file, read it quickly, and had a better understanding of the case.

According to the content described in the case file, on the sixth day of the fifth month, Huang Ying and Du Wenxian came to Zhao's tofu shop, Huang Ying died, and Du Wenxian disappeared.

On the seventh day of the fifth month, the Qin family returned home, Huang Sanyuan came to find his daughter and returned home directly, and then Huang Li and his wife returned to the Zhao family's tofu shop, because Liu Dabao's condition worsened, and everyone did not find the body of Huang Ying in the well.

On the afternoon of the seventh day of the fifth lunar month, Liu Dabao fell ill and died, causing speculation among neighbors. The Qin family sent someone to deliver a letter to Liu Dabao's mother, and Huang Li also asked her husband Zhao Qian to go to his father Huang Sanyuan to discuss what to do about the matter. Huang Sanyuan said in his confession that after he and his son-in-law arrived at the Zhao family's tofu shop, there was no good way to ask what happened, only that he would ask Liu's mother to come for an autopsy after he came. And because the second daughter was missing, he couldn't explain to the Yang family, so he simply bought a coffin at the Sun Ji coffin shop in Changping County, and put some stones in it, falsely claiming that the second daughter died of a violent illness, and rushed home before the city gate was closed.

On the morning of the eighth day of the fifth lunar month, Liu's mother and her family rushed to Zhao's tofu shop, only to find the yellow bird hanging from the beams of the house. After reporting to the official, the people of the Yamen salvaged the bodies of Huang Ying, Qin and Zhao Qian in the well. Among them, Huang Ying drowned, and Qin also drowned, but there was a wound on the head caused by a heavy blow, and there was a slight sprain on the right foot, it is worth mentioning that Qin has been pregnant for more than two months. On Zhao Qian's body, he was found to be scratched by multiple sharp weapons, and the fatal blow came out of the vest and stabbed into the heart and died. ”

This is the beginning and end of the case as stated in the case file.

Bai Jingze pondered; "There are two things to check now, first, on the night of the sixth day of the fifth month, the cause of Huang Ying's death, and where did Du Wenxian go. Second, what happened in the Zhao family's tofu shop after Huang Sanyuan left on the afternoon of the seventh day of the fifth month. So much so that Zhao Qian, Qin, and Huang Li died one after another. ”

With questions, the two walked out of Wangjiang Tower and all the way to the east of the city.

On the way, I heard someone talking about the Huang family.

"I heard that the Yang family went to the Huang family yesterday to make a fuss, saying that Huang Sanyuan was treacherous, and his daughter eloped with the same person, not to mention, he, the father, also helped to conceal it, and it was like their Yang family was wronged!"

"The Yang family didn't marry a daughter-in-law, not to mention, it became a laughing stock, of course I have to ask for an explanation."

"It's not all to blame Huang Sanyuan for being poor and loving rich, so he had to break up a pair of little mandarin ducks to become rich and rich, and finally made trouble for his two daughters and son-in-law to enter Huangquan! Isn't it iniquity? The Yang family didn't say anything wrong about him! ”

"Alas, the in-laws have become enemies!"

The two didn't know what to say when they heard such discussions, and they were silent all the way to the Huang family. Qing Ruxu instructed Lan Zhou and Shizhou to wait on the opposite street, and he and Bai Jingze stepped forward to knock on the door, and soon someone came to ask about the identities of the two.

"We're from the government, so we're here to ask something."

"Oh, wait a minute, two officials." During these days, people from the government came to ask at the end of three days, so the porter did not suspect it, and only said that they should wait for a while and report it to the head of the house themselves.

After a while, the porter came back and invited them in, while inquiring curiously: "The two officials came to find our master, but what progress has the case made?" ”

Bai Jingze had no heart at all, his face was upright, and he said: "I have some questions, I want to find Huang Sanyuan to understand the situation." ”

The porter suddenly said: "The master has been in a bad mood recently, and yesterday the Yang family came to make trouble again, and I am afraid that the business of the two families will be over in the future......"

Qing Ruxu saw that the porter talked a lot, so he asked him: "On the seventh day of the fifth month, your master pulled back a coffin, were you present at that time?" ”

"Be there, be there!" When the porter heard that he had something to ask him, he was quite excited, "It was already late that day, and the old man was afraid that he was in a hurry to close the city gate, and he was tired enough, and his face was very bad." I opened the door and was startled to see a dark coffin. Then I heard the old man say that this is the second girl, who died of a sudden illness at the aunt's grandmother's house in Changping County. ”

This is exactly what the dossier says.

Bai Jingze asked again: "What about after that?" Doesn't anyone think it's strange? ”

"Many people in the house know that the second girl actually ran away with the surnamed Du, and I didn't find it after looking for it all night, I don't know what will happen! That day, the old man said that the second girl died of a violent illness, and pulled back a coffin, so he thought that it might be related to this matter, who would dare to ask that? After that, the lord asked his subordinates to take some silver, sent away those who came from Changping County to pull the coffin, and asked the subordinates in the house to carry the coffin to the courtyard of the second girl to settle down. ”

Qing Ruxu asked, "Then have any of you seen with your own eyes what is inside the coffin?" ”

The porter shook his head: "No, after the coffin was sent to the second girl's courtyard, the master locked up all the people in the courtyard, saying that the second girl's escape had nothing to do with them." But when this kind of thing happens, it's not surprising that the lord did this, and the aunt came over and cried twice, and then went back. No one suspected that there was no second girl in the coffin, and no one wanted to open the lid of the coffin to see. Later, I heard that the official government fished out the body of the second girl in the well of the Zhao family! Everyone realized that there was no body in the coffin at all, just some hidden stones. After the Yang family knew about this, they drenched the dog scolded by the old man with blood! ”

Speaking of this, the porter had already arrived at the flower hall where Huang Sanyuan was, so he quickly closed the conversation box and said, "Two of you, please come in, the master is inside." ”

The two of them nodded at him and said "thank you" and entered the flower hall.

Huang Sanyuan seemed to have been annoyed by the people in the official government, and when he saw them coming in, he just got up and arched his hand, and said perfunctorily: "Two officials, please take a seat." ”

Huang Sanyuan is a white and fat middle-aged man, although his wife died early, he has several concubines around him and has a son. Perhaps for this reason, there was not much sadness on his face, more annoyance. But Bai Jingze still said first: "Uncle Huang, please also mourn." ”

"Hmph." Huang Sanyuan didn't appreciate it: "What's so sad about it, it's just two unfilial daughters." ”

Qingru Xu frowned slightly: "Unfilial daughter? What do you mean by that? Huang Ying is just that, what did Huang Li do to be sorry for the Huang family?

Huang Sanyuan said in a sullen voice: "You all know about Huang Ying, and my eldest daughter Huang Li, like her dead mother, is a son who can't give birth to a son, and when she arrives at her husband's house, she is said to be a hen that doesn't lay eggs, otherwise she wouldn't have provoked those gossips, and our Huang family would have lost face." ”

"Are you talking about the gossip between Zhao Qian and the Qin clan?"
