Before Governor Pei said this, the hall had been silent for a while, both sides had their own plans, but they didn't know each other's intentions, and they also had their own scruples. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info

Seeing Pei Xuan ask this sentence, Tang Feng coughed lightly and said, "It's not a secret, even we were really shocked when we found out that the deceased was a White Lotus Sect bandit. Now that we know about it, we have to investigate it carefully. However, it is too difficult to find some clues in the territory of Hangzhou, which has a population of one million, so I hope to discuss with a few adults whether we can use your strength to thoroughly investigate this matter. ”

The three officials exchanged glances with each other, and they all obviously breathed a sigh of relief. Since Tang Feng offered to ask them to help investigate the case, it means that he will not report the negligence of himself and others when they decided the case, which means that there is a lot of room for the matter to turn around.

Moreover, the White Lotus Sect has always been regarded as a big problem by the imperial court, as long as it can show its face in the battle with them, it is worth many outstanding government affairs performance in ordinary times, which is naturally exciting. Of course, this also depends on whether they can solve the case, otherwise things will be unpredictable.

Several officials who understood Tang Feng's situation knew that the other party would definitely not miss this opportunity to make meritorious contributions, but they were worried that their own strength was limited, so they would pull them together. In the current situation, they naturally can't refuse this invitation, even if they know that things are difficult, they still nod and say: "It's related to my stability in Hangzhou, and we naturally have the responsibility to do it." ”

"Adults can focus on the overall situation, which is really admirable." Yang Zhen sent a high hat over at the right time, and the officials laughed and said that they didn't dare to be. At this time, the atmosphere in the lobby, which was still very dull just now, has become a lot more lively, and everyone's faces are finally smiling.

"Yang Zhen, since you found out about this matter, you can tell a few adults how you think you should solve the case." Tang Feng intended to cultivate Yang Zhen, so he let him take the lead at this time.

Yang Zhen didn't shirk either, and after a slight arch of his hand, he spoke: "I thought that finding the murderer from the territory of Hangzhou, which has a population of one million, with only these two corpses, is tantamount to looking for a needle in a haystack. Therefore, if you want to find out about this case, you need to collect more clues and evidence. ”

"How should we collect this clue evidence?" Governor Pei asked casually. The other two officials, who were old in prison, did not ask questions.

"One is to try to find out the exact identities of the two deceased. If we can do that, there will be enough clues for us to continue our pursuit. Of course, this is obviously a bit difficult, after all, there is no scrap of paper on the two of them that can prove their identity. This requires the help of Pei Daren and the personnel of the two subordinate counties to conduct an inspection. Yang Zhen turned his face to Pei Xuan and arched his hand.

"This official must ask someone to go all out to investigate." Governor Pei hurriedly nodded and took the errand, but then left a way back for himself and said: "But since these two are White Lotus Sect disciples, their whereabouts must be hidden, and even if they are carefully investigated, they may not be able to find out their identities." ”

"This can be saved below, adults just need to do their best." Yang Zhen hurriedly expressed his understanding, and then raised two fingers and said, "Second, I just tried to solve these two cases." In comparison, the case that was disguised as a fall to death is more difficult to investigate, after all, in the middle of the night, it is impossible to leave many clues or witnesses. So I want to do my best to investigate the burglary and murder case. ”

Speaking of this, Yang Zhen's gaze fell on Luo Tuiguan again, and he also arched his hand and said: "This case was originally tried by Lord Luo, and even the suspect has been identified, but in the following opinion, the suspect named Qi Tiezhu is absolutely incapable of killing a White Lotus Sect bandit with good martial arts, so if he is offended next......

"You just have to check, this official is not the dumb official who only cares about his own face." Luo Zhengzhang said busily. Judging from the meaning of Tang Feng's words just now, they would not stab this case upward, with this layer of assurance, how could he still care about some superficial things and offend Jinyiwei?

"Lord Luo is really broad-minded, and he admires it. But...... There is also a reluctant invitation below. ”

"You say. As long as the official can do it, he will not shirk. ”

"To investigate this case, you have to go to the scene of the murder and conduct an inquest. In terms of understanding over there, there is no one who is still in prison. Therefore, I also asked Lord Luo to pardon his crimes, and let us take him to the scene to investigate. I wonder what adults think? ”

Hearing Yang Zhen's request, Luo Zhengzhang obviously hesitated. To do so is to make him admit that he has made a mistake before, which is more difficult to accept than acquiescence.

At this time, Governor Pei spoke: "Since this matter is indeed not committed by the suspect, he should be acquitted." Luo Tuiguan, just do what Yang Xiaoqi wants. ”

Since it was the boss who spoke, Luo Zhengzhang had to nod a little reluctantly: "Then as you said." As soon as the day is day, you can send men to the prison to fetch them. ”

Since this most unacceptable point has been successfully passed, some trivial matters will be easier to discuss. After everything about the investigation was arranged, Yang Zhen turned his gaze to Huang Mo, the deputy envoy for the prosecution of the case, who had not been able to say anything: "I still have a difficult point, and I ask Lord Huang to help." ”

Huang Moren, as his name suggests, has been extremely silent since he came, and has not expressed his opinion. It wasn't until Yang Zhen looked at him that he smiled faintly: "As far as our company knows, there are still a few cases that are problematic, so you can take these to pay for it." ”

Hearing this, even Yang Zhen was also impressed by this person's ability to judge things, and he was able to sit in today's position, not only due to luck, but also saw what he valued the most.

Indeed, the reason why Yang Zhen and the others came here tonight was not only to get closer to the magistrates in Hangzhou and gain a firm foothold, but also to use their convenience to complete the errands in hand. If it is up to them to investigate, even if these brocade guards, if the people in the yamen do not cooperate, they can only gain something if they encounter an emergency like this time. But now that there are these people who know the local case well, it is different, and this will not offend people, after all, the wrongful judgment case they can hand over must control the loss to the minimum, but it is enough for Tang Feng to give an account to Shen Zhuo.

As for the killing of the White Lotus Sect that they would do their best to investigate next, it was a greater credit, naturally it had nothing to do with Shen Zhuo, and Tang Feng couldn't ask him to share the credit.

As the East began to lighten, the discussion between them finally came to an end. Although they haven't slept all night, everyone's spirits are not bad, after all, there is not much loss, whether it is the government or the criminal department, they can accept the current result. And if the White Lotus Sect case can be solved, they still have merit.

After having some breakfast here, the three officials said goodbye and left, and Jin Yiwei also sent someone to follow Luo Zhengzhang to pick up people, since they no longer have to worry about Shen Zhuo's errand, the next thing they have to do is to track down these two murders.

The spring rain in the south of the Yangtze River is dense, like silk, falling on the city of Hangzhou inside and outside, and on the passers-by who are hurrying.

This rain made the poet inexplicably moved, made the deep boudoir woman feel a little more melancholy and longing, and also made some people who were not in a good mood feel even sad.

Qi Tiezhu's mother, Aunt Li, is the third kind of person, looking at the continuous rain outside the house, thinking of what happened to her son, she is even more sad. Maybe this fall, on the cross street, you can see her son beheaded along with a group of felons, and then her life will come to an end!

"Son, it's for my mother who hurt you. Mother is useless, nothing can be done. Now I can only wait to stay up, and after sending you away, my mother will go to the underworld with you to complain......"

Aunt Li's sad and desperate thoughts were suddenly interrupted by a knock on the door, which made her feel quite strange. Since her son was taken away by the government, the people in the village have regarded her as a murderer, and the enthusiastic township has long since stopped coming to the door, so why is there still someone coming on such a rainy day today?

With a hint of doubt, Aunt Li walked to the front of the courtyard and opened the somewhat broken wooden door. Then, she was stunned, although there were four or five tall men standing outside the door, but her eyes only fell on the sick man lying on a stretcher, it was her son, Qi Tiezhu.

"Pillar, is the pillar really you?" Aunt Li immediately pounced, lying on her son's body and crying, while asking.

"Mother...... It's me, the boy is back. The child is not filial, so you are worried...... "Qi Tiezhu's face was also full of tears, struggling to get up and kneel, but he was injured and his strength was not enough, so he couldn't get up.

"Don't you get up...... For my mother, I thought I would never see you again. Good boy, how did you get back? Seeing this, Aunt Li hurriedly stopped her son and asked eagerly.

"It was these officials who brought their son out of the yamen, and they said that their son's grievances had been cleared, and the government had already believed that the guest was not killed by his son." Qi Tiezhu hurriedly explained.

"Ah......h Thank you for saving my child...... The old woman has nothing to repay, only to repay you by being a cow and a horse in the next life! ”

Seeing that she kowtowed like pounding garlic, even Yang Zhen felt that something was wrong, and hurriedly stepped forward to support Aunt Li: "Auntie can't help it, since your son is wronged, it is our business to return his innocence." We are here today to investigate the case, and please cooperate with us, so that Qi Tiezhu can continue to be a more innocent person. ”

When pulling up Aunt Li, Yang Zhen also glanced at her carefully, and found that this woman, who should only be in her fifties, had already gray hair and a face full of vicissitudes, and she could almost be regarded as a seventy-year-old woman. But I don't know if it was the hard life that made her like this, or because of this incident.

"Oh, the officials want to investigate the case, please come in. The old woman must fully cooperate......" Aunt Li quickly wiped the tears from her face and let everyone into the courtyard.
