Wow~~

With the sound of footsteps, Song Genhai had already entered the house.

His face was pale, and he didn't see Cui Gengren, so he shouted with a crying voice: "Big... My lord, something has happened! ”

When the person approached Cui Geng, his legs suddenly weakened, and he collapsed to the ground on his knees.

"Hurry up, you two help Song Zhutou up first!"

Cui Geng beckoned Zheng Su and the others to help, and then asked Song Genhai: "You are so shocked, why did the sky fall?" ”

"It's really falling!"

Song Genhai was slightly supported by Zheng Su and the others, and said with a sad face: "The abbot mirror you supervised...... Lost !! Losing the tribute ordered by the saint, I am the head of the Jiangdu to catch the head, and I will eat this brand, it is estimated that this time my little life is over! ”

"Hey, I thought it was a big deal, but this is it?"

Zheng Su suddenly let go of the hand holding Song Genhai, gently pushed him, and pouted disdainfully: "The tribute is neither stolen by your Jiangdu County Ya, nor is it guarded by your Jiangdu County Ya, isn't there a special craftsman in charge?" Yes, the official in the lead is called Shi Jingkuan, right? This abbot mirror is lost, what is the matter with the Guan Cui County Order? What's more about you as a little headcatcher? ”

"Yes, yes, yes, you are so worried, I was so shocked that I almost didn't scare the master, and I thought that the things that happened to the master in Yangzhou were reported back to the family, and the family sent someone to arrest me back." Cui Xiang also let go of his hand and pushed Song Genhai, very unhappy.

"Huh... He really didn't make a fuss this time! ”

After Cui Geng heard this, his face gradually became solemn, and he sighed and said, "There is a saying called chasing the comparison, Cui Xiang, Zheng Su, have you ever heard of it?" ”

Chasing this thing, basically local officials have a headache for this. For example, when a local government encounters a major case, or when it comes to the critical moment of tax collection, the local officials will be set within a time limit.

You are limited to three days to solve the case, and if you can't solve the case, you will be hit with ten boards. This is not the end, you have to continue to solve the case after being beaten, and if you give it another five days, you won't be able to solve the case for twenty boards. can't be broken, ten boards in three days...... Repeatedly, fighting and fighting, the head of this hunting team will die.

Of course, there are policies and countermeasures, your county officials dare to catch up within a time limit, and the following heads dare to frame good people, and many unjust, false and wrongful cases come from this.

Now that the tribute to the emperor has been lost, can there be a bigger case in the world? Jiangdu County is responsible for the security of Yangzhou City, and losing the abbot mirror is exactly Cui Geng's pot.

In such a big case, as the commander of Jiangdu County, it is his duty, can he issue a posthumous order to Song Genhai?

Song Genhai is the head catcher and confidant under him, if Cui Geng gives a chase order according to his duties, how can he be fooled in this case? How can you wronged a good person with a clear conscience? And this is to recover the stolen goods and solve the case, there is no search for the abbot mirror to hand over to Chang'an, that is, no matter how many people are caught from the outside to top the cylinder, it is useless.

At that time, if the case is not solved within the time limit, will Song Genhai fight or not? Within the next time limit, Song Genhai still hasn't solved the case, and is he still chasing and fighting? If the case has not been solved within the next deadline......

If you continue to fight according to the rules like this, Song Genhai will have a life? Losing the tribute is a big deal, when the time comes, so many pairs of eyes are staring at the Jiangdu County Ya, how can Cui Geng not be able to release water?

For today's plan, if Cui Geng wants to save Song Genhai's life, if he wants not to be implicated in this case, and he loses his black yarn hat under the anger of Wu Zetian Longyan, the only way is to find the abbot mirror!

The abbot's mirror engraved with "two years of longevity to pay tribute" has only one side in the huge world, but where is it?

"Don't be too pessimistic, in this way, losing the abbot's mirror is not a trivial matter that can be concealed, and it is inevitable to chase the cane punishment. Let's hit the top 10 boards first! ”

Cui Geng looked at Song Genhai sympathetically and comforted: "But don't worry, this official let Qian Fei and Li Zhuang execute, they have a sense of proportion under their hands, and this first time the top ten boards will not hurt your muscles and bones." Let's hurry up and collect clues to solve the case, and strive to solve the case within a month, and then you will be spared the punishment of the second chase. ”

"Also... It's like that, adults must make them have to be measured! ”

Song Genhai wanted to cry without tears, and covered his buttocks with some fear.

Cui Xiang sympathized: "......"

Zheng Su shook his head in silence: "......"

……

……

However, it is said that the case will be solved as soon as possible, but investigating and solving the case is not a dinner party, how can it be so easy?

Rao is Cui Geng sent Zhou Xing, a criminal expert, out to carefully investigate the scene, but he didn't get any obvious clues to solve the case.

Through Zhou Xing's physical investigation and understanding of the case, Cui Geng found that this case did not seem complicated on the surface.

At that time, there were two warehouse officials, Wang Shun and Zhang Ping, who brought wine and meat over and invited the guards of the warehouse to eat and drink. After eating the wine and meat, the guards fell unconscious, and when they woke up the next day, they saw that the abbot's mirror had been lost.

As for where Zhang Shun and Wang Ping are now? This morning, someone saw the two of them walking east out of Yangzhou City, but they didn't bring any large items.

But here, the clues are all broken.

It seems that Zhang Shun and Wang Ping stole the abbot's mirror and ran away...... But Cui Geng felt that it was not so simple, two little warehouse officials, where did the prawns dare to steal the tribute hand-picked by the emperor? You must know that this abbot mirror is the only one in the world, and it is a hand-picked tribute, even if you want to sell it for money, no one dares to accept it. If it can't be exchanged for silver, why did the two little barnmen risk killing their heads to steal it?

Therefore, Cui Geng believes that these two warehouse officials are indeed suspected of committing crimes under the superficial evidence, but the motives for committing the crimes are very vague. The case is definitely not that unusual.

At Zhou Xing's suggestion, she took two measures: First, detain all the warehouse guards in the Jiangdu County Ya, after all, their suspicions have not been completely ruled out. Second, let Zhang sneak to the states and draw shadows to arrest Zhang Shun and Wang Ping.

Of course, that's better than nothing.

Zhou Xing estimated that Zhang Shun and Wang Ping were afraid that their lives would have been over at this time, and as for the people who wanted their lives, it is estimated that the motive for committing the crime was on the body of the man behind the scenes.

As for who is behind the scenes, investigate and screen the objects in the entire Yangzhou, and the answer is almost ready to come out - Lijingmen.

The reason is very simple, the abbot's mirror is worth a lot of money, but this is a slap in the face of Her Majesty the Empress, can the court give up? The benefits and risks are completely disproportionate.

Who is the most unlucky to lose the abbot mirror? The first one is Song Genhae, and the second is Cui Geng. Song Genhai's enemies don't need to be mentioned, only Cui Geng's great enemy Li Jingmen has both the ability and the courage!

……

Sure enough, Cui Geng and Zhou Xing's judgment was right. A few days after the abbot mirror was lost, Meng Shenshuang, the head of Jiangnan in Lijingmen, swaggered back to Yangzhou City.

This time Meng Shenshuang trembled, it is said that under the recommendation of Lai Junchen, he was personally summoned by Wu Zetian in Chang'an.

Wu Zetian attached great importance to him and gave him a holy decree: if Meng Shenshuang violated the law, he could only be dealt with by the left Su Zhengtai, and the rest of the divisions were not allowed to be arrested and tortured without authorization.

Who is the imperial history of Zuosu Zhengtai? Come to Junchen! How could he dispose of his confidant?

Who is the so-called Yuji? The history of the governor of Yangzhou and the history of Yangzhou assassin Zhang Qianbei.

As for what Meng Shen Shuangzai Chang'an did, why he was so favored and valued by Wu Zetian, and what role Lai Junchen played during this period, Cui Geng and others do not know.

I have to say that not only Cui Geng and others, but even Zhang Qian, the old man, was slapped hard by Lai Junchen in this fight.

……

……

Yanei, Jiangdu County.

Wei Miao came to see Cui Geng on Zhang Qian's order, and brought Zhang Qian's angry password: "Cui County Order, what my family means...... Let Meng Shenshuang hit the road as soon as possible! ”

It's rare that Wei Miao didn't spare words like gold this time, and said it all once.

"At this time, you want his life? Isn't that against Your Majesty? Cui Geng didn't understand Zhang Qian's impulsive order at this time.

"Lord Zhang said, how can His Majesty's will be disobeyed?" Wei Dao: "But my lord asked me to tell Cui County Order, medicine and medicine do not die of disease, and Buddha is destined to be a person." Your Majesty's holy decree, can you guarantee that Meng Shenshuang will not have any accidents? What if the person surnamed Meng fell ill and died? What if the horse surnamed Meng misses his front hoof and falls to his death? ”

It seems that what the two men did in Chang'an this time, as well as the holy decree that came down, really made the old man Zhang, who was promoted to the first brother of Yangzhou, lose face and made him anxious!

Cui Geng secretly thought, it's really scary for a good old man to start a rush!

Unexpectedly, Lai Junchen helped Meng Shenshuang ask for a holy decree to protect himself, and it became Meng Shenshuang's life-saving talisman!

But Zhang Qian's meaning, why not his long-cherished wish?

Cui Geng nodded and said, "Wei Senjun replied to Lord Assassin Shi for me, whatever he said about the official will naturally do it, but this is the case of losing the abbot mirror......"

Wei Miao said solemnly: "The loss of tribute is also related to the face of the Yangzhou Metropolitan Governor's Mansion in the Holy Place. Therefore, Zhang Thorn Shi has an order, and the deadline is three months. ”

"What if we can't solve the case?"

"Dismissal!"

Wei Miao said, and then made a rare addition: "My family said that if you can't solve the case within the time limit, I'm sorry Cui County Order, he can only help you get here." ”

Cui Geng understands that this is already within Zhang's potential authority, and in addition to being as lenient as possible, he has also minimized his guilt.

He nodded, "Okay, just three months." Please thank Zhang Tingshi for me. ”

"Okay."

In the end, the two agreed that Cui Geng would make every effort to investigate the theft of tribute, and Wei Miao would make every effort to find Meng Shenshuang's loopholes, and the two sides would communicate with each other and cooperate with each other.

Three days have passed, and there has been no progress on Cui Geng's side.

Suddenly, someone came to report, Chun Yuliang and Zhiman monks came to worship.

Why did they come to find themselves at this time?

Regarding the details of Monk Zhiman, Cui Geng has asked Zhou Xing to inquire clearly.

Eight years ago, the Zhiman monk of Dayun Temple did not hold it for a while, and the widow Li of Yangliu Village ~ the woman had a spring breeze for a while, and gave birth to a child named Xiaohu.

Somehow, this matter was known to Lijingmen.

They used this trick to force the monk Zhiman to cheat on the street, and all the money obtained was handed over to Lijingmen.

When the amount of money defrauded on the street is huge, according to the rules, he will definitely be expelled from the temple.

One sheep is also driving the two sheep and leading them, and the monk Zhiman simply explained the matter of Xiaohu. Of course, he didn't dare to confess to Lijingmen, but just said that he was forced by the gangsters.

Unexpectedly, the presiding abbot of this Dayun Temple turned out to be the father of Widow Li~ woman.

Can the old man's pole not be towards his cheap son-in-law? In the end, the disposition of Monk Zhiman was to raise it high and put it down gently - punish Monk Zhiman for copying the Diamond Sutra a thousand times.

The host of Dayun Temple doesn't care, Cui Geng's local official doesn't ask, and this matter is over.

Later, the monk Zhiman was gradually forgotten by Cui Geng.

Unexpectedly, today, Monk Zhiman and Chun Yuliang came to visit him.

Cui Geng replied with the word "please" and personally met the two in the county hall.

The first sentence of Monk Zhiman gave Cui Geng a big surprise, and said: "Cui County Order, about the case of the loss of tribute, the poor monk has a clue......

Cui Geng stood up excitedly when he heard this, waved his hand and shouted: "Speak, come quickly!" ”

Monk Zhiman said that a few days ago, that is, the morning after the abbot's mirror was lost.

His cheap son, Xiaohu, was playing in the field, and suddenly he was in a hurry, so he went to in the grass on the side of the road.

At this moment, two people ran in the distance, one tall and one short.

The tall man couldn't run, and collapsed on the side of the road, gasping for air.

The short one said: "Big brother, run quickly, if it's too late, we will have to be killed by others." ”

The tall man gasped and said, "I...... I can't run! Nima, what is this called, you said that the two of us lost our lives for a mirror, is it a loss! ”

The short man sighed and said, "It's not a loss to say that it's not a loss, who told us to be greedy for Lu Sanlang's silver?" It's just that I didn't expect him to not only want mirrors, but also human lives! ”

Gao said: "Fortunately, brother, you saw the opportunity quickly and found out that something was wrong with Lu Sanlang, otherwise we would both have died!" ”

The short man smiled bitterly: "Alas, what's the use of saying this? We're not going to get away yet. ”

The two were talking, when suddenly there was a sound of horses' hooves in the distance, and a middle-aged man with a yellowish face, holding a scimitar, galloped over.

Swish! Swish!

Just two knives, the tall and short ones died.

Then the middle-aged man put the tall and short corpses on horseback and quickly evacuated, the whole process no more than half an hour.

Xiaohu, a child, has never seen this? I was scared silly.

It wasn't until half an hour later that he burst into tears and ran home shivering. That night, the child developed a high fever and began to babble gibberish.

Widow Li~ The woman was flustered and hurriedly asked someone to send a letter to the child's father.

Monk Zhiman took leave from his father-in-law, Gongzi (the presiding abbot of Dayun Temple), and came to Yangliu Village to see a doctor for his child, and he was busy for several days.

In the end, I don't know if it was the herbs that worked, or if the scriptures recited by Zhiman were useful, Xiaohu slowly returned to normal after retreating, and said everything he saw that day.

As soon as Monk Zhiman heard this, he immediately connected with the case of the disappearance of the tribute, and found Chun Yuliang to come to see Cui Geng.

I didn't expect a forgotten person to bring such an important news at a critical time, Cui Geng was really overjoyed!

immediately brought a group of henchmen to discuss the matter.

Song Genhai has been beaten by forty or fifty boards piecemeal during this time, and he can't even get a seat at this time.

As soon as he heard this, his eyes suddenly lit up, and he shouted: "Then what else to say, clean up Lu Sanlang!" After the humble investigation, there is a person named Lu Xigui among those guards, who is known as Lu Sanlang. As long as we pry his mouth open, won't the truth of this case be revealed? ”

It seems that the boards of these days have not been in vain, and Song Genhai already knows the details of those warehouse guards.

Cui Geng's most trusted person was Zhou Xing, and asked, "Zhou Xingcao, what do you think?" ”

"I think Song Zhutou's proposal is inappropriate." Zhou Xing got up and analyzed the stakes and said: "First of all, the case that Xiaohu saw may not necessarily be related to the disappearance of tribute. Secondly, there are many people in the world who call Lu Sanlang, and it may not be Lu Xigui. In the end, even if it was really Lu Xigui's doing, he was a pawn, could he know where the abbot mirror was hidden? ”

Song Genhai was speechless by him for a while, and said depressedly: "That...... So what do you say to do? ”

Zhou Xing and Cui Geng glanced at each other, and then said meaningfully: "Hehe, according to a certain family's opinion, it is better to be brutal than to ...... Dig deep pits and wait for tigers and leopards, sprinkle fragrant bait to catch golden turtles! ”
