Qian Boren had no way to take refuge

Peng Zishou cleared up the backlog

Han Shouqing's salty and indifferent words can't help but make people a little disappointed, think about it carefully, aren't the Han family like this, if they leave people, even if they are family members, they don't say those words that make people feel happy.

He told Han Shouqing: Some time ago, the emperor gave grace to the queen's parents. Your sixteenth brother, Han Tongqing, the Yangzhou observation envoy, was crowned as the envoy of the Zhiyuan Army, and the queen's mother, Zhuang, was named Mrs. Anguo.

Han Shouqing knew about this, and the sixteenth brother sent a letter at that time, sincerely fearing the emperor's reward, and said that he would remember the emperor's kindness, do his best, and be an honest man.

Han Shouqing thought that we should be content, the emperor treated my Han family preferentially, and our Han family should be grateful to repay our kindness, be as low-key as possible, not cause trouble, and not discredit our ancestors.

Han Yanxuan understood the words of his nephew, the reason is good, and it is easy to say, but it is different in his situation. But he understands that saying this is for the good of his Han family.

That night, in Han Shouqing's mansion, someone asked to see Han Taiwei Han Yanxuan, and asked if it was Qian Boren, the former governor of Hengzhou. Han Yanxuan knew the purpose of his trip, and said to the housekeeper: Tell him that the master is not feeling well today, and he will not see him.

The housekeeper sent Qian Boren away and asked Han Yanxuan, Situ, why didn't you see him?

Han Yanxuan glared at him, offering his affection for nothing, either a traitor or a thief. You know what he's done, why is he here?

Of course the housekeeper knows: Didn't the adults hate that Zhao Ruyu, he died, shouldn't you be happy?

Han Yanxuan knocked on his head: Wrong, what is the deep hatred between me and Zhao Shumi: Isn't it that he looks down on us, and his words are not words, and this is not damned. Later, I regretted it, and the punishment for him was a little heavier, but I didn't want him to die. This Qian Boren is not a thing, when people are in trouble, not only does he not pull people along, but humiliates them, is this what people do. Legend has it that I instructed him behind my back to murder Zhao Shumi, if I see him, and then seal him an official position, isn't it sending someone the truth?

Since Zhao Ruyu died of illness in Hengzhou, Zhizhou Qian Boren's life began to be sad, that night, he hurt people, and it seemed that he was angry. The next day, Zhao Ruyu fell ill and died, and his bad luck began.

Officials and scholars with a sense of justice everywhere are condemning him for falling into the ground, and many people even say that Zhao Ruyu was poisoned to death. He was speechless and became a villain spurned by everyone. Just the second year, his term of office expired, returned to Beijing to report on his work, and then, the ministry asked for instructions on how to arrange, all the officials did not say a word, had to be awarded a palace official, and there was no other sending, disappointed he could only return to his hometown Quanzhou to live idlely.

After Peng Zishou arrived in Hunan, less than a year later, he received a letter from the imperial court, ordering him to serve as the governor of Hengzhou with the title of Longtu Pavilion to be systematized.

Hengzhou, which is now Hengyang City, Hunan Province. It is named because it is located in the south of Nanyue Heng Mountain, and it is also called Yancheng because of "the northern wild goose flies south, and then stops its wings and stops back".

depreciated again and again, Peng Zishou recited Fan Zhongyan's poem "Fisherman's Proud Autumn Thought"

The scenery is different in autumn, and the geese in Hengyang go without paying attention.

The sound of the corners on all sides rises, and in the thousands of mountains, the long smoke and sunset are closed in a lonely city.

A glass of turbid wine is thousands of miles away, and Yan Ran has no plan.

Qiang Guan is full of frost, people are sleepless, and the general's white hair is crying.

Gradually calm down, once you come, you will be safe, do your best, and obey the destiny of heaven. Soon after taking office, he discovered the problems that existed in Hengzhou: the city was dilapidated, the market was depressed, the government officials were procrastinating, there were many backlogs, and the prison cells were overcrowded.

He ordered Changshi to lead several officials to sort out the case files in the past five years. The case files that have been decided and undoubtedly classified are grouped together and bound and filed; Where there are doubts about the verdict, or where the case is serious and has not been reviewed, find out the doubts so that it can be rehearsed; For those civil disputes where the circumstances were less serious, the suspects were retried and punished after education and punishment, and the suspects were released home, with the result that 67 people were dealt with leniently and saw the light of day.

At the same time, the government focused on transforming the urban environment and formulated a policy for attracting investment from local and foreign businesses, stipulating that businessmen from both local and foreign places who came to Hengzhou to do business would be exempt from tax for one year, and the tax would be halved in the second and third years. He also led Sima to join the army to organize men and horses to repair damaged city walls, roads, and dredge moats.

As a result, the people of Hengzhou rejoiced and called him Peng Qingtian.

One day, a young man in his twenties beat a drum and shouted grievances. His name is Wang Jiali, and two years ago, his father Wang Zhanke was killed in the Xiangjiang River, and the murderer has not been caught. I heard that the new Lord Zhizhou loves the people like a son, is fair and honest, and has come to avenge his father's grievances and let the old man look down under Jiuquan.

Peng Zishou had already noticed this murder and corpse dumping case, but he hadn't had time to ask about it yet.

The terrain of Hengzhou is high in the south and low in the north, and the Hengshan mountain range in the south stretches for dozens of kilometers, with mountain peaks such as forests and numerous rivers. The largest river system is called the Xiangjiang River.

Early that morning, a fisherman surnamed Liu was sailing on the river with a small fishing boat, and suddenly saw something floating in the middle of the river in front of him, shaking it around, but not going downstream.

After Qian Zhizhou learned about it, he sent Changshi to check it out with his servants and officials. The deceased, about fifty years old, was strangled to death, with his right hand bent, clutching a piece of fur with hair, and throwing it into the river after his death, the murderer was afraid that the body would float, and tied it to the millstone with hemp rope.

A few days later, the family identified the body and found out what happened to the victim. Wang Zhanke, 51 years old, has been doing a small business in Tanzhou for many years, and is a native of Dongxishankou in Hengzhou City. This time I returned to my hometown because my mother was seriously ill and came to visit. After a visit, it was confirmed that the grinding plate belonged to Qingfeng Temple, and coincidentally, the monk Changzhixin in the temple threw himself into a well and died.

The former governor Qian Boren concluded that this was a murder case for money, and the murderer was the monk Zhixin. After Zhixin killed people and robbed money, he looked panicked, accidentally kicked his foot, and fell into the well and died.

In such a judgment, the Wang family and Qingfeng Temple were not convinced. The Wang family said that if the monk Zhixin murdered for money, then where was the money robbed? If you have killed people and gained money, why don't you run away and go to the well to do something? The monk of Qingfeng Temple asked, my Qingfeng Temple has a lot of production, and there is no shortage of money at all, why does the master want to make money and kill him? Besides, Master is a monk who has always been compassionate, and he doesn't even dare to step on an ant on weekdays, so why did he do such a rebellious thing?

Qian Boren was so questioned that he had to use nonsense to perfunctory. and did not send people to investigate, the case was just closed, hanging there.

Peng Zishou felt that this case was very tricky, the matter had changed, the clues of the case were already few, and some things, such as the scalp in the hands of the deceased, and the tied hemp rope, it was difficult to investigate it now. But human lives are at stake, and this case must not be allowed to drag on endlessly.
