Chapter Eighty-Three: Pushing the Boat Downstream

The suicide note is really there, it is placed on a few sons of Ru Fu's corpse, just a piece of paper, and a few lines of words were written on it, half-literately, but it is really not much different from Ru Fu's always vulgar style, as for the content of what is said, it is naturally not the thorough explanation that the third master expects, and some just say that they are guilty, and they have failed the emperor's grace, and they should apologize for their crimes with death.

"Third brother, what's the matter? Why did you die? Grandma is a bear, and the grandfather is still drinking with this product at noon, why is it warped at night, the evil door! ”

The granary was burned, and Rufu died inexplicably, and the third master was naturally very angry, but even if he was angry again, he could only follow the rules and send someone to urgently summon Kong Tongru, the governor of Jining (Jining is Zhili Prefecture, no governor, the highest governor is Zhizhou) to lead the third class of officials to inspect the scene, but he didn't expect that Yin Osmium, who had disappeared for a long time, also came out with Kong Tongru, but seeing that this guy didn't care about the occasion, he turned the wall of the back office, and his loud voice was already loud.

Listen, look at how skillful the tenth master is, inadvertently, he relied on the third master's head for Rufu's death, which is simply telling everyone that Rufu was forced to death by the third master, but these days, the third master has really sent Heda to urge Rufu, and the "ironclad evidence" seems to be really a bit like a mountain.

"Where did the tenth brother go, why did he come here at this time?"

The third master is a refined individual, how can he not hear the meaning of those bastards in the words of the tenth master, but he can hear it and hear it, but he can't defend it, there is no other, it's okay not to distinguish this matter, the more he argues, the more he describes it, the darker it is, this kind of stupid thing to ask for hardship, the third master will not do it, even if he is angry in his heart, the third master can only pretend not to understand the meaning of the tenth master, frowned, and asked a question with displeasure.

"Ha, nothing, isn't the little brother looking at the errand to do it smoothly, is he in a good mood, this is into the city, find a place to cool once, yes, this cool has not come to the hurry, just listen to the outside shouting water, so that the little brother just picked off the pants and have to wear it again, grandma is a bear, it's really unlucky, you said that this old man is not dead, play immortal, but he died when the master was having fun, isn't this a cold person, so that the master had to run back in a hurry, this is not, I ran into Lao Kong halfway, and I came together, slack, slack, slack, There are a lot of third brothers, and I don't think I will see them like the younger brothers. ”

The third master just asked casually, but the old ten was good, and he chirped a lot, and he spoke so vulgarly that everyone else was overwhelmed, but he didn't dare to lose his politeness in front of the two Qincha, so he could only hold back a smile bitterly, and his face turned purple with sauce.

"Kong Zhizhou."

I know that the old ten is full of firewood, but the third master can't do anything about him, he can't reprimand his brother in public for not doing business, you must know that this kind of public tearing of the face is a taboo of the heavenly family, it really has to reach the ears of the old man, and he will never commend him for the righteousness of the third master, but will only blame the third master for mishandling things, because the face of the heavenly family still has to be talked about, even if the brothers have actually fought to the death, the harmonious posture on the surface must not be lost, because of this, the third master is very annoyed, But he could only pretend not to hear the of the tenth master, glanced sideways at Kong Tongru, the governor of Jining, and named him without being salty.

Kong Tongru, after the sage, although it is not a direct line, but the identity of the son of Confucius is true, Kangxi thirty-three years with the Jinshi background, Huan Hai's qualifications are not deep, can be Jining such a saint in the hometown of the governor, it is completely thanks to the blessing of Confucius - according to the Qing system, officials are not allowed to work in their hometown, but Jining is an exception, because of the saint, Jining Zhizhou is generally served by the people of Confucius.

"The lower official is here!"

Kong Tongru was amused by Lao Shi's nonsense and laughed secretly in his heart, and he heard that the third master called his own name, and he didn't dare to slack off, so he hurriedly gathered his mind, flashed out from the side, and replied loudly.

"Kong Zhizhou, since this case happened under Er's jurisdiction, Er should be responsible for the investigation, and this will begin."

The third master had no intention of talking nonsense to Yin Osmium, so he took out the shelf of the Qin Mission, and gave a reserved order.

"Subordinate officials obey ......"

Kong Tongru has a special status among the officials in Shandong, and has always been self-conscious after Confucius, and has been involved in the filthy affairs of Shandong officialdom.

"Wait!"

Without waiting for Kong Tongru to finish speaking, he saw that Du Moliang, the envoy of Shandong, had already stood up from the side, and let out a loud sigh, interrupting Kong Tongru's words.

"What do you mean by this, Lord Du?"

The third master was in a very unhappy mood, this time Du Moliang came out, and his mood suddenly became a little worse, although he did not reprimand Du Moliang for his rudeness, but the gloomy tone clearly showed the great dissatisfaction in the third master's heart.

"Lord Qi, it's not that the officials are rude, but they actually have other views on the jurisdiction of this case, and I also ask Lord Haihan to do it."

Du Moliang obviously didn't care too much about the third master's dissatisfaction, and as soon as he gave his hand, he apologized slowly, but this kind of apology obviously didn't have much sincerity.

"Oh? If Master Du has any advice, you might as well come and listen to it. ”

The third master is not an ordinary person in the end, the city government is still deep enough, although he is extremely tired at this time, he did not have a seizure, but nodded quietly, and asked indifferently.

"Back to the prince's words, according to the system of our dynasty, Jining Zhizhou only governs the civil affairs of Jining Prefecture, and Hecao Yamen is the land of Emperor Jian, and those who are not Jining Zhizhou can interrogate, today, the governor of the river, Lord Ru, is killed in the yamen, and the reasoning should be thoroughly investigated by the Holy Edict, and now, even if it is acting from the power, it should be done by my Shandong according to the inspection of the Yamen, and others dispose of it without authorization, which is an overstepping of the system, please forgive the officials for disagreeing."

Du Moliang is an old criminal name, he is very familiar with the law, and he has reasons for opening his mouth, and he also speaks the truth, so that people can't find the slightest flaw.

Du Lao'er, what is this going to do? Is there any benefit to robbing this right to solve crimes? Could it be that you want to take this opportunity to cover up the truth of the matter? No, the eighth master made a move, how could he leave obvious flaws, go directly to investigate, and definitely have to touch his head and break the bloodstream, even so, Du Lao'er has no reason to pull such a hot potato into his arms, there is no doubt that this old man is luring our father to take the bait!

Since hitting the Hecao Yamen, although Hongqing has always stood by and watched, and has not said a word, but in fact, his brain has always been running at high speed, and under repeated deductions, he has already noticed the strangeness of this case, but in this case, he does not intend to be too showy, and secondly, there is no need to rush to point out the problem at this time, but when he sees Du Moliang come forward to interrupt, he dug a pit between his words to let the third master jump, and Hongqing can no longer stand still.

"Humph......"

As soon as he heard Du Moliang cheering up there, the third master, who was already in a bad mood, really got angry, his face sank, and he snorted heavily, so he planned to show the secret decree given by the old man Kangxi, so as to subdue the officials of Shandong.

"Father, the child thinks that what Lord Du said is very true, and it is really a blessing for my society to have a minister like Lord Du who is clear and responsible, and the child believes that if this case is handled by Lord Du, the truth will be revealed, and it will not cause Lord Ru to die in vain.

Without waiting for the third master to get angry, Hongqing had already flashed out from the side, praised Du Moliang loudly, and took advantage of the situation to put the responsibility of the presiding judge on Du Moliang's head.

"......Well, it's okay, that's the case, this case will be in charge of Lord Du, this king believes that with Lord Du here, there will be no bad pool, Lord Du, please."

Although the third master couldn't figure out the reason why Hongqing suddenly stood up and said good things for Du Moliang, he faintly felt in his heart that Hongqing's move was definitely not as simple as it seemed, and after hesitating for a while, he still decided to support Hongqing.

"Ah, oh, thank you for being enlightened, then the next official will be Meng Lang."

The Rufu death case is not a small case, the involvement inside can be described as huge, whoever gets involved in it, it is a big trouble, how can Du Moliang not see this, the reason why he used words to persecute the third master, the fundamental purpose is naturally not to snatch the right to try the case, but to take this opportunity to test the third master's hole cards, and by the way, take the opportunity of the third master to go crazy, and push all the responsibility of the case to the third master, this kind of calculation is not bad, but I didn't expect it to be mixed up by Hongqing Shengsheng, at this time, when I heard the third master say this, Du Moliang's heart couldn't help but have a depressed feeling of lifting a stone and hitting his feet, and he had spoken so much in public before, at this moment, he had nowhere to turn around, and in desperation, he had to pinch his nose and admit it.

"It's okay, investigate carefully, you must find out the truth, this king believes that Lord Du has this ability."

Although the third master still had some doubts in his heart, he did not bring it to his face, but further killed Du Moliang with words, leaving him no gap to shirk.

"The prince has a good reputation, and the officials will do their best."

This has been forced into a corner by the third master, how can Du Moliang have any way to think about it, so he can only thank him with a strong spirit, turn around, glance at Kong Tongru coldly, and squeeze out a sentence from between his teeth: "Kong Zhizhou, this official order immediately mobilizes a powerful man, surveys everywhere, and there must be no mistakes!" ”

"The subordinate obeys!"

Looking at Du Moliang's stinky face, Kong Tongru's heart was refreshed for a while, not for anything else, just because the responsibility that should have been borne by him Kong Tongru has now been transferred to Du Moliang's head......
