Chapter 113: Return to the county government to take over the stall
When the time is in August, September is not young, and there is the fragrance of osmanthus, the peony of Luoyang has withered in the regret and sigh of the literati as early as May and June, and at this time in Suzhou Mansion, the wood hibiscus and begonia are blooming, and the streets and alleys also began to sell osmanthus sugar osmanthus cake osmanthus cake and even osmanthus sugar water.
With the escort of the old Jianghu of 369, Li Mi took Jiang Bi and soon returned to Wu County, and did not report back to the county office, until the old man Xiang Mu came to his side.
Yuan Keli had already heard about Li Mi's affairs in Polongqi, Wujiang County, and at this time, he was greeted by the slaves and maids of the Xiang family, and he was also pleasantly surprised to come to see Li Mi.
As soon as Xiang Mu heard the name of Jiang Taiyi, he also blew his beard, thinking that he had a relationship with Jiang Taiyi in the past, but when Li Mi took out the wooden box and proposed Jiang Taiyi's deal, Xiang Mu became interested again.
After all, he is a collector, how can he resist his pursuit of treasures with the slightest prejudice against Jiang Taiyi?
Li Mi didn't know what kind of books were in the wooden box, but he knew that Xiang Mu took out a full set of the top ten forbidden books without hesitation, and his brows didn't frown.
After Yuan Keli came, he didn't need Li Mi's recommendation, because when he was serving as the governor of Shanxi Province, Jiang Bi was serving as a magistrate in Shanxi, and the two were old acquaintances.
Li Mi didn't expect Jiang Bi to be a pusher, and he also said earlier that Xinke Jinshi would usually be awarded the title of chief bookkeeper, county officer, and pusher, and then he would be promoted to a regular seal official like the county magistrate, so it is not surprising that Jiang Bi had been a pusher.
Moreover, if he hadn't been a pusher, I am afraid that Jiang Bi would not have collected such a huge amount of intelligence information about Zhou Yu or Wang Zuo in just two or three years.
In fact, Li Mi didn't know that this Jiang Bi was also a detective master in history, and finally became the right man of Dali Temple in the Ming Dynasty, but these are all later stories.
Li Mi befriended Yuan Keli, hoping to change something, hoping that Yuan Keli would not be silent for another 26 years, but would recover in advance, enter the officialdom again, speed up the pace of his career, and seek welfare for the people.
It's just that he didn't expect that during the investigation, Jiang Bi, who he had no intention of getting acquainted with, also burned a cold stove, and this Jiang Bi almost reached the peak in the officialdom in the future, especially in the judiciary!
Everyone sat in the flower hall and drank tea, still by Yuan Keli to make tea, 369 is a rough person, and he is not mixed, he sat for a while, the etiquette was done, and he withdrew.
Li Mi told the ins and outs of the future, not only Yuan Keli, but also Xiang Mu was also attracted, and after he found Jiading County, Jiang Bi took over the conversation and explained the matter about this Zhou Yu in 1510.
Although Xiang Mu has a collection of tens of millions of books, he is by no means a bookworm, what he likes is fun, valuable, and rare things, and all kinds of classic books are just one of them.
His family is full of scholars, all of whom must read and write, if they hire some blind and blind eyes, and those rare books are damaged and lost, they will regret their green intestines.
Therefore, for him, it is not difficult to mobilize these scholars and his protégés to sort out this big car of rumors, plus this young man who doesn't know whether it is Zhou Yu or Wang Zuo is too legendary and too mysterious, Yuan Keli can't wait to join the investigation immediately, so naturally he can't help but contribute.
After explaining everything clearly, Jiang Bi stayed in Xiang Mu's mansion, perhaps it was Jiang Taiyi's transaction, or maybe Jiang Bi had a relationship with Li Mi, or maybe this case was too bizarre, which made Xiang Mu also have an impression of Jiang Bi.
Yuan Keli was a leisurely apartment, so he naturally stayed in Xiang Mu's mansion, and worked with Jiang Bi and others to sort out the information, hoping to make overall calculations and find out one or two clues.
In the afternoon, Li Mi left Xiangfu and returned to the county office, and he asked Xie Yingluo to send Qiudong to the government office, in the end to take a look.
Moreover, he also wanted to know how Jian Dingyong handled the Cai Ge Village incident.
Although Li Mi has the name of catching fast, he has almost never been in the signing room, or taking tickets to work, and he has been busy investigating cases all day long, but these cases are beyond the jurisdiction of Wu County, and they are not dereliction of duty, but they are also not competent.
And for Li Mi, the people of the county government also felt a little embarrassed or embarrassed, this one who had never come to sign the arrest of the Shangya, no one dared to despise it, and no one dared to rush, after all, although Li Mi was just a fast catcher, he could count it on his fingers, and he had come into contact with more feudal officials than they had ever seen!
When Li Mi appeared at the gate of the county yamen, even the official on duty thought that he was dazzled, and it took a long time to react, and he hurriedly invited Li Mi into the yamen.
After Jian Dingyong got the briefing, he also came out to meet in person, where is this the treatment that a small catcher should have!
"You're back, and your ass is going to catch fire..."
Seeing Li Mi, Jian Dingyong was also surprised, and Master Qian beside him was still standing with his hands in a smile, just nodding at Li Mi.
Li Mi also said with a little apology: "It's a little trouble, the county master... I wonder what happened to Cai Ge Village? ”
It's just that if you don't mention it, when you mention the three words Cai Gecun, Jian Dingyong's face became a little embarrassed, and he said to Li Mi.
"This official is annoyed by this matter, after the official received the tip, he arrested Cai Xuzong and Cai Jingzheng father and son, and even the barefoot Langzhong of the Ge family was also detained, and then they insisted and said You..."
Li Mi should have known that they would definitely use their own affairs with the Yao family to cover up, and there was indeed something between him and the Yao family, in this feudal society, such things that corrupted customs, the village ancestral hall did often abuse lynching, as long as no one complained, the government also turned a blind eye and didn't care about these things.
However, this time, the object is an infinite tolerance, but it is still the hottest tolerance, and Jian Dingyong took them all back.
But these people insisted that Li Mi had an adultery with the widow Yao, and it was natural for the ancestral hall to deal with them.
Li Mi asked Jian Dingyong to arrest them back, not to retaliate against them, but to keep them, if there is no clue in Jiading County, you can start from Cai Ge Village.
Now that he has made a huge breakthrough from Jiang Bi, Li Mi's needs for these villagers are not so urgent.
"Your Excellency... It's not good to publicize this thing after all, if... If you can, put them back..."
Jian Dingyong saw that Li Mi was like this, and he also knew that he was afraid that what the villagers said was true, Li Mi might really have a good relationship with the widow, the so-called family ugliness should not be publicized, as long as the government does not pursue it, the people of Cai Ge Village will not make trouble anymore, and at this time, it will be a big thing and a small matter.
"It's okay, then let them go back..."Jian Dingyong nodded, and then ordered Master Qian to go to the prison to release them.
Seeing Master Qian leaving, Jian Dingyong came over and asked Li Mi in a low voice, "What they said is true?" ”
Li Mi didn't hide it, and said to Jian Dingyong: "If the adult is asking about the Yao family and the villain, it is indeed true..."
Jian Dingyong was slightly stunned, but he also sighed, and said to Li Mi: "The hero is sad to pass the beauty pass, not to mention that you are still young, and it is inevitable that you will be strong..."
Li Mi saw that Jian Dingyong not only blamed him, but also comforted him, and he was also a little reluctant.
Although he guessed in his heart that the Yao family must also be Zhou Yu's person, and this time he was also deliberately happy with himself, Cai Xuzong and others were able to catch an excuse to kill him Li Mi, it can be said that he was cheated by the Yao family, but at this time Li Mi still asked.
"That Yao..."
Jian Dingyong patted Li Mi's shoulder and said, "They insisted that they fed the Yao family to the fish in the Shenjiang River, but..."
"But you didn't find the body, did you?"
"How do you know? Is there something else going on here? Jian Dingyong originally wanted to take into account Li Mi's feelings, after all, Li Mi followed the Yao family to have a spring breeze incense, which would be somewhat uncomfortable, but he didn't expect Li Mi to be unpredictable!
Li Mi thought about it, but after all, he didn't tell Jian Dingyong about his speculation, just as he decided to let go of the Cai family's father and son.
In the hearts of these villagers, Wang Zuo is the governor of Zhou Yu thousands of years ago, because Wang Zuo has been raised in this way since he can remember, and even he himself has no doubts about Zhou Yu's identity, he firmly believes that he is Zhou Yu from his bones and soul.
In such a situation, he used Zhou Yu's identity to brainwash these villagers, and the villagers naturally did not know his true origin, and they couldn't find any valuable clues if they wanted to investigate, so it was better to let them go.
Therefore, Li Mi did not answer Jian Dingyong's question, but asked him, "Is there any news from the Japanese Kou?" ”
This question was asked at Jian Dingyong's sore spot, because Asakusa Kaoru was robbed, Jian Dingyong could not escape the blame, and he had no part in the matter of exterminating the Japanese invaders, so he could only honestly come back and deal with the crisis.
"There has been no official report yet, but Jin Shanwei sent back news earlier, saying that he had found the nest of the Japanese robbers, and as for the results of the battle, there is still no news..."
Although Li Mi has traveled to many places and has traveled for more than half a month, he also knows that marching and fighting is not an overnight thing, let alone encircling and suppressing the Japanese at sea, so it is reasonable that there is no further news.
Seeing that Li Mi nodded, and then was silent, Jian Dingyong no longer mentioned this stubble, but said to Li Mi: "It's good for you to come back, according to the urging of the Inspector and Envoy Division, the case of Kaoru Asakusa must be closed as soon as possible, after all, the killing of officials and escaping from prison are really appalling, and the officialdom is also excited, and the official is also anxious..."
"However, the county government is short of manpower, and in Suzhou Prefecture, although there are still manpower in the Punishment Hall, Governor Chen, Song Tuiguan and others are all busy with the matter of suppressing bandits, and this case has fallen on the head of this official, and now it is already burning eyebrows..."
When Li Mi heard this, he also nodded, and said to Jian Dingyong: "Don't worry, the little one is coming back today, just for this matter..."
Li Mi didn't perfunctory, although Jiang Bi had Xiang Mu and Yuan Keli as helpers, but ten days and a half months were afraid that there would be no results, Li Mi just used this time to find out where this Asakusa Kaoru had fled.
"That's the best, the official has already mentioned you as the chief arrester, and in the future, Xing Zhutou and all the manpower in the county will be assigned by you, you don't need to worry about internal assistance, just think about how to solve this case..."
Jian Dingyong thought that he had already made plans, but Li Mi was a little hesitant.
