Chapter 071: A Case Within a Case

Wang Zhixian left, forced a smile on his face, and when he left, he was not full of spring breeze. Because Li Qian did not agree in person to help him solve the problems he was encountering, he only said that he would discuss with Master Rong at that time.

He didn't think that the Master Rong recommended to him by Li Qian could have much ability, but he had no other way but to leave gloomily------

Looking at his departing back, Li Qian couldn't help frowning deeply.

It's a bit of a difficult task------

After Wang Zhixian's bitter narration, Li Qian also understood the dilemma that this Baili Hou is facing at the moment, it is to take a step forward to peel the skin, and a step back is estimated to be very suspenseful------ no one can guess what tricks the opponent will use against him next.

The so-called "lack of money and stop the operation of the institution" sounds like child's play to Li Qian.

In fact, there is not much difference between the county government and the workplace of later generations, and they are essentially "small rivers and lakes" that intrigue for the sake of interests. He's a person who's been through the workplace, and he's been an elite person in the field, and he's in the middle of the food chain, so he can see what's lurking here.

Everyone is doing things that harm the public and private interests, and they are tired of it, but if they say that they pay their own pockets to top the county government's account deficit, they can only be heard as a joke, this kind of nonsense even Wang Zhixian ------coughs, and even a three-year-old child can't be coaxed!

No one would believe that in just three months, a county government could lose a full 1,500 taels of silver, and this is really just a number? At least, with Wang Zhixian's dignified status, he can't raise such a large amount of money in a short period of time!

I've heard of poor and sour talents, but I've never heard that people can be poor------ and even a solid family like him can't come up with so much money for a while, why can the county government spend so much? This is clearly unconscionable.

So even Wang Zhixian didn't believe it, although he was a little hindsight, and his reaction was always half a beat ------ a beat? Well, one shot is already a lot, and a few shots are absolutely impossible! He knew very clearly in his heart that he was being tricked, and that money would never be a deficit, but let that Zhang Hu be greedy for ink! As for the number of people who shared the spoils, it is unknown.

However, it does happen that the institution will stop functioning, and as long as he, the big man, refuses to go into the water, it is inevitable.

It is foreseeable that after this, there will be a bunch of messy "official business" on the line------ and then a rush of brains will rush to the Qiantang County Ya, smashing his head as a bare-rod county magistrate, first smashing him into a meat, and then he can't find the north------ so that if he doesn't handle it well, he will inevitably make mistakes, and he will lose his official position and be dismissed, and his life will be lost!

And this is also in the plan.

Therefore, Wang Zhixian could only come to Baba to ask Li Qian for help and ask him to help him break this game------

In all fairness, Li Qian has a good impression of this county lord, although the other party is upright and cute, he is really a rare good official and a clean official who wants to seek some well-being for one party! Of course, he also knew that the reason why he was honest and honest was also because Wang Zhixian had just entered the officialdom and had not really been corrupted by the bureaucracy.

Li Qian can even be sure that if there is no such a traverser as himself, and there is no other master to break this situation for him, he will completely go to the route of corrupt officials, and he will not be able to turn back in this life------ not every county order can become "Haiqingtian". Tempted by temptations and threats, people instinctively choose to protect themselves, to join the bureaucracy, and there is no other way.

But after all, he was not very familiar with the county government, and even if he had some information collected by Song Zhong, it was still not enough.

Jinyiwei is just a spy agency, not only is it not a god, it is far inferior to the spy system in later generations, how can he expect them to find out the specific situation for him, and then help Wang Zhixian seize power?

That's right, this is the first task given to him by Song Zhong after Li Qian received the secret order.

The death of the former prosecutor, Song Zhong has been confirmed as a murder case after many investigations, and the murderer is currently being tracked down. But obviously, this should be a hired murderer, because ordinary people would not risk their lives to kill officials if they did not have a deep hatred. Therefore, this murderer is actually just a clue in this case, if he can be caught, it is possible to find out the mastermind behind the scenes.

This is a case within a case.

Even if he has not been able to find any useful evidence yet, Song Zhong can conclude from his own experience that his predecessor must have found something fatal before he was poisoned. Through the information gathered by all parties, as well as some clues he found, combined with the news revealed to him by Zhang Tongjuan, his eyes quickly locked on the officialdom in Hangzhou------

Li Qian, as a layman, naturally doesn't know too much.

Song Zhong only told him that if Jinyiwei died, someone must take the blame, even if that person died accidentally, someone would be unlucky------ although this is a little logically unreasonable, but it is an ironclad fact, because Jinyiwei represents the majesty of the Son of Heaven!

Unfortunately, the predecessor of the Qiantang County Commander became a scapegoat.

Of course, there is a reason for this, the time when the body was found was early in the morning, and the location was Shangtang River in the north of the city------ which is why Song Zhong deliberately took a long detour when he first arrived in Hangzhou.

After the body was recovered, an autopsy by Renhe County confirmed that the deceased had died by accidental drowning, three hours earlier, in the second half of the night before, and the place of death should be in the upper reaches of the river. Subsequently, after several days of investigation, it was finally determined that the person died within the jurisdiction of the Qiantang County Ya------

This black pot came inexplicably, the previous Qiantang County Commander, who was still waiting to see the fun of his old rival, did not want to fall from the sky, and after a lot of going around, it actually fell on his head------ he has always been vigilant, and he has faintly smelled a trace of conspiracy, and he intuitively feels that he is making people calculate.

Without saying a word, the county magistrate gathered his men and horses to launch a mighty investigation, but the result disappointed him. His subordinates also determined that the inspector had indeed died in his precinct, and even the autopsy results were surprisingly consistent.

Accidental death!

The identity of the deceased is too special, so this case does not need to be reported to the prosecutor's department from beginning to end, and the file is directly submitted to the capital.

Not surprisingly, Emperor Long Yan was furious, and the Qiantang County Commander was dismissed from office for dereliction of duty and never hired.

The fire at the city gate affected the pond fish, and the domineering Zhu Yuanzhang thought that the Renhe County Commander was also jointly and severally responsible------ did not build the river embankment, causing Shangcha to fall into the water and die? In short, he also punished Renhe County Order: a fine of one year and retention, in order to see the after-effects------

After that, Jingli sent the inspector of Zhejiang Province to investigate the case three times------ thirteen provinces supervised the imperial history of the city and was both a Beijing official and a local official. They are stationed in Beijing, and they will go out on patrol with the seal when they have something to do, and return to Beijing to pay the seal after the event.

Zhejiang Dao Yushi spent several days trying his best to track down, but he couldn't find another result, and he said in his heart that he was not afraid that it was fake. Just when he was frowning, the appearance of a person made him see the hope of diverting the emperor's gaze.

Li Qian Zhishi has returned to his hometown!

After returning to Hangzhou, Li Daguan made a few troubles, and the people of Taiwan successfully seized the opportunity to play, but there was no derogatory meaning between his words, but he stated the relevant facts very objectively------ and when he finally returned to Beijing to resume his life, he was only fined half a year's salary, which was really dangerous.

The case is considered closed here, at least on the surface.

No matter how domineering Zhu Yuanzhang is, he can't overturn the investigation results of the three officials in a row, and then send someone to check four times------ he really didn't check on the surface, but he sent Jinyi Wei in private------ so as soon as the patrol pressed the front foot of the imperial history, Song Zhong came to Hangzhou on the back foot, and secretly investigated the case.

In fact, Zhu Yuanzhang didn't believe that this was an accident from the beginning, and he had long believed that there was a conspiracy in his heart!

At this point, Lao Zhu is actually very Cao Cao. Not only was he suspicious of the magistrate, but even the Beijing officials were not very trusted, and when the patrol sent by the imperial historian could not give him the truth, he finally used the Son of Heaven's close army, the Jinyi Guard.

Song Zhong's ability to do things is really not covered, as the henchman of the former commander of Jinyiwei, although he was only a fifteen or sixteen-year-old hairy young man at the time, and his official position was not high, he won Mao Xiao's trust, and he learned a lot of skills. After ten years of sharpening his sword, and now he has finally been able to show his edge, how can he not do his best?

After careful analysis, Song Zhong was very keenly aware that it seemed that two officials had become victims in this case, but in fact it was not.

There is only one real scapegoat, and it is the original Qiantang County Order! The other county magistrate was only fined and is still in his post, and his career has not been affected in any way------

After such an analysis, Song Zhong immediately began to investigate these two people, and finally found that Qiantang County did not deserve the scapegoat unjustly. Because during his tenure, he had a bad relationship with the prefect of Hangzhou, and even worked against his boss------

To say that this Qiantang County may not have good feng shui, the predecessor just carried a black pot because of this matter, and this county magistrate is still a stubborn temper.

Although Wang Zhixian has never been a cow with the prefect, at the beginning of his tenure, he made bold statements, saying that if he is a parent official of this party, he will definitely seek benefits and reduce the burden on the people, in short, it is such as "being an official is not the master of the people, it is better to go home and plant sweet potatoes" and the like------ of course, few people know what sweet potatoes are at this time.

If this is the case, of course, there will be no big problems, the key is that he Wang Lun also has a special worship of today, and enshrines the set of laws of the saint to punish corrupt officials as a holy canon, and has repeatedly expressed his deep hatred for corrupt officials in public------

This has touched the sore feet of many people, where can he have a good life?

It is undeniable that Jinyiwei is a behemoth in Beijing, and when he arrives in Hangzhou, he will become a dragon crossing the river, and he may not be able to fight the local local snake. Don't look at their ability to gather intelligence, in fact, when it comes to the local government, if they can't rely on the power of the local government, then there is really not enough manpower.

Since Wang Zhixian and Hangzhou officialdom are opposites, they are available people, and it is necessary to divide and win over.

It's just that this person is a "new policeman", and he is too inexperienced in struggle, and he is far inferior to an official like Zhang Tongju. It was because Song Zhong didn't have much hope for his ability that he decided to let Li Qian, the "old driver", take him with him-------

For Li Qian, such a task does not have any hidden dangers in terms of safety, but the difficulty is really not too low. However, the holy order was difficult to disobey, so he had to accept the task of Jinyiwei with a heart full of grievances, and formed a group with his pig teammate Wang Zhixian.

I don't expect to be able to bring him to supergodhood, first tame the gang of officials under him, integrate them for your own use!
