Chapter 222: Shen Siqi investigates the case

Lord Wei was impatient to lock up the visitor, this is a trivial matter, he immediately sent someone to inform the Dali Temple, it happened that the person in charge of the Dali Temple was from the same faction as himself, so he naturally strongly supported the Wei family, and reported to Yuwen Hu the general process of the matter at that time, and sent his elite spies to the Wei Mansion to interrogate the witness.

Shen Siqi, the secret agent of Dali Temple, is a very legendary figure, and his reputation in the Guanlong area is very loud, because he is also a Daqing magic weapon to solve that kind of evil cases and strange cases, of course, Wei Shouding's killing is not a strange case, the case is also very clear, there are also eyewitnesses, and the only direction is also very clear, definitely = either a love kill or a financial killing for power. So why was Shen Siqi sent to handle this case? The reason is that Lord Wei has passed on for four generations, and the incense has been broken in Wei Shouding's generation, which is miserable and depressed.

Regardless of whether it was official or favoritism, Shen Siqi had to come, and even Yuwen Hu personally asked Dali Temple to send him to be in charge of the case, which shows the importance he attaches to it. Shen Siqi was just a poor talent who taught in a bookstore in his early years, and later his father was deceived by a rich man, and he died of anger after being deceived into going to his family's property. At first, he wanted to join the army, but he was a weak scholar and was not at all material for war.

Later, he spent all his plate and begged in Chang'an South City, and when he was about to starve to death, he was rescued by a caring magistrate, who generously gave him five taels of silver after hearing about his experience. This money is so strange, rich people spend tens of thousands of taels of silver a night and don't care at all, but for those poor people, a silver of three or five taels is enough for their whole family to live for two months.

So Shen Siqi took the five taels of silver to take the imperial examination of the yamen again, but he had no way, and it was difficult for the orthodox yamen to be admitted at all, so he took the sword and applied for a judgment and litigation institution under Dali Temple: the Criminal Division. It is full of places where some down-and-out generals or children of down-and-out families are trying to survive, but Shen Siqi has been conscientious when he enters the Criminal Division, and every case is well understood, every time the official in charge asks about a certain case, everyone is dumbfounded, and only Shen Siqi tells all the dossier information of the case in detail.

Therefore, in an unpopular small yamen, although his future is not optimistic, he is very appreciated by his boss, and has reported his name many times to Dali Siqing for awards, and even Yuwentai has seen his name many times, and he also met Shen Siqi in person. Since then, he has been prosperous, and soon transferred from the Criminal Division to Dali Temple to do the investigation of the Dali Division, from the official position of Liupin.

In a place like Chang'an, Cong Liupin is just an ordinary official the size of a sesame seed, but when Shen Siqi returns to his home in the countryside, it is a very sensational event. The entire Shen family came out to greet him at the entrance of the village, and the rich man who killed his father back then also hid and disappeared. Shen Siqi personally went to his father's grave, burned incense and prayed to report his situation, and many people were amazed at that time, admiring his perseverance and obsession. Shen Siqi didn't embarrass the rich man, and the rich man was also very interested, and he sent a lot of silver to apologize to the Shen family.

Since then, Shen Siqi has worked harder to investigate and handle cases, meticulously and strictly investigate every case, not wronged a good person, nor let go of a bad person, he has a great reputation in the Guanlong area, because every time he handles a case, he brings his own four case-handling tools, so the people call him Shen Siqi, but few people know his real name Shen Wenzong.

The killing of Wei Shouding this time is quite bad, and the impact can be imagined in the Chang'an area, and the most troublesome thing is that the timing of this case is very delicate, just when the pattern of Guanzhong begins to change, this is the most troublesome, you don't know how many people will be involved in this case, and you don't know who will be brought in in at the end of the investigation, which is the most terrible. But Shen Siqi has no way to shirk it, and the so-called people's fame is probably what it means.

In a room in Wei's house, Wang Er Mazi was hugging a maid and was playing, he kept rubbing oil on the maid with his hands, touching her ass and balls for a while, and sneaking her **** for a while, and sometimes taking the opportunity to secretly kiss the maid's cheek, the maid blushed and her hair messily wanted to resist this pervert who was up and down on her, but this Wang Er Mazi was like a hungry wolf, which was unguardable.

Shen Siqi pushed open the door, Wang Er Mazi was startled by his sudden appearance, he thought that Shen Siqi was the steward of the Wei Mansion, so he quickly got up and defended: "I didn't do anything, I didn't do anything." Shen Siqi walked in without even looking at him, and asked directly: "You said that you saw the murderer?" Wang Er Mazi hurriedly leaned forward with a lewd smile and said, "My lord, I saw the appearance of that person with my own eyes, and I recognize that person even if he turned into ashes, and I can't be wrong." ”

Shen Siqi asked curiously, "How did you end up at the scene of the murder?" Wang Er Mazi touched his head embarrassedly, revealing half of the big black and yellow teeth in his mouth and said with a smile: "Cough, I came out of Zhang San's house last night and was about to go home, but after drinking too much, I fell asleep directly in the corner of that alley, and I woke up after dawn, and was about to get up and go home, when I suddenly saw a descendant with a little green dragon tattooed on his arm holding such a thick wooden stick and beating Wei Gongzi." I was so frightened that I was afraid that I would be killed by him, so I didn't dare to show up. At that time, the boy threw away the wooden stick and ran away, and after I rushed out and returned home, I heard that it was Wei Gongzi of Wei Mansion who was killed. That's why I'm here to report the crime. ”

Shen Siqi stared at him and asked, "Which arm is the next generation with a green dragon tattooed on it?" And what kind of fancy is the green dragon, can you draw a general appearance? Wang Er Mazi touched his head and pondered, and after a while he replied affirmatively: "It's the green dragon tattooed on the right arm, and I can still vaguely remember the general style of the green dragon, but the specific appearance is too far away to see clearly, so the drawing may be biased." ”

Shen Siqi still asked people to take pen, ink, paper, and inkstone to ask Wang Er Mazi to take out the general style of the tattoo, and he asked his entourage to take the drawings to the tattoo master in Chang'an City, and carefully inquire one by one to see who had tattooed this tattoo. He himself took people to the scene to investigate the situation and check the murder weapon, and the entire alley was isolated by the government at the moment, and the onlookers surrounded the street.

Wei Shouding's attendant was also called for questioning, and the attendant rehearsed the situation on the spot, Shen Siqi had already heard of Wei Gongzi's lust, he was not interested in these gossip news, and he would not go to track down Qingluo's identity, at this time, more than one thing is better than one less, in case there is a master behind Qingluo who cannot be provoked, then the Wei family may not be able to escape the involvement. So Shen Siqi focused his attention on tattoos.

Soon got the news, in a small shop in Dongshi, there was a boss who recognized this tattoo, it is said that the tattoo was a young man in the western suburbs, called Yan Xiaowu, after confirming the news on the spot, Shen Siqi immediately personally led the team to the slums in the western suburbs to search for Yan Xiaowu. But Yan Xiaowu knew that he had committed a mortal crime, and he had already run away. So helplessly, Shen Siqi had to arrest all his accomplices who usually played together, and wanted to know about Yan Xiaowu's whereabouts from these children.

Those are all half-old children, where can they withstand the interrogation of officials, they were scared and trembling before they made a move, and when they asked about Yan Xiaowu's whereabouts, they shook their heads and said that they didn't know, Shen Siqi secretly said in his heart: Could it be that this kid is really hiding unconsciously? But he can't just go back and report to Yuwen Hu and Dali Siqing, isn't this smashing his own brand.

But he had no choice for a while, you said that if you spread the official document to arrest Yan Xiaowu, this kid will definitely go to the Eastern Wei Dynasty to avoid trouble, wouldn't it be worth the loss, it is better to secretly strictly check the various checkpoints and posts, this kid will definitely run if he commits a crime, but because the incident has not happened for too long, he may be able to track his whereabouts at this time.

So where did this Yan Xiaowu flee to? In fact, he hid in the mass grave in the western suburbs and did not go, the so-called light is dark, at this time he learned from those old rivers and lakes, before because of theft and robbery several times to avoid the search of the officials, he was hidden in this mass grave, so that no one was found, this mass grave is full of dead bodies and wild dogs or something, you think, who usually has nothing to run here, so this is the safest place, but also the most unexpected place. In short, no matter what, now Shen Siqi is secretly visiting everywhere to find him out.

Jiankang, in Stone City, Gao Huan is holding Yang Xiuzhi's secret letter and reading it carefully, he knows everything about the movements of Western Wei at the moment, Wei Shou is dead, then Xishu is empty at the moment, and he can take the opportunity to let Gao Yue take Chen Baxian and Wang Seng Bian to invade Bashu, then the entire Southern Liang is basically like being in Gao Huan's hands. At this moment, Gao Huan (Cheng Lu) already has some ideas of his own.

Shiyan had already sent Proton Shixie to Taicheng, indicating that he was willing to accept the Southern Liang court represented by Gao Huan. So Gao Huan didn't embarrass him, but after installing some eyeliner in some more important counties in Lingnan, he ignored it. As for Wang Kuang of the Western Han Dynasty who was dominant in Yunnan, he thought that he could sit back and relax if he had a relationship with the powerful Tuyuhun in the southwest, Gao Huan didn't take him seriously at all, this kind of jumping clown, as long as he completed the great cause of unifying China as soon as possible, he would obediently surrender without a fight.

At this moment, Gao Huan also received a flying pigeon message from Liu Ruyan, in which he said that the Turks and Murwei were fighting inextricably on the east coast, and the two sides had killed and injured each other, and they might not be able to take care of the Han people in the south for a while. This made Gao Huan's heart settle down a lot, because it was about to go through winter. Their own soldiers and civilians need to live a good year of recuperation, and they can no longer fight wars all year round.

Over the years, he has found more and more that this war is really the most expensive thing, not to mention the money spent on recruiting troops and buying horses, you can say that the food and clothing of 6 or 700,000 people under his command every month will cost millions of silver, not including the rewards of military generals and the salary of winning battles. In his previous life, he had no concept of money because he was poor and had no money, but now he has no concept of money, but that is because he can't count how much money he earns and spends every month.

In addition to worrying about these messy things, Gao Huan has recently been damaged by the atmosphere of the Jiangnan people, and he is also obsessed with eating fasting Buddha, if you want to say who believes in Buddhism the most among all the emperors in China, it must be Xiao Yan, this point even Gao Huan (Cheng Lu) has a number in his heart, he has studied history in his previous life, he vaguely remembers the absurd things that Xiao Yanli Buddha did, sold himself into the temple three times, and let the ministers spend a lot of money to redeem him three times.

However, Gao Huan's belief in Buddhism is just an excuse to seek a moment of peace to avoid the troubles of the world. He is fundamentally different from Xiao Yan's obsession with Buddhism. In this troubled world, in order to survive, people dare to do anything, they can sell any flesh and blood, and any loyalty is for the sake of profit. But the more this is the case, the more people's hearts yearn for salvation, so in troubled times, many people choose to seek spiritual comfort from gods and Buddhas, and even do not hesitate to sacrifice themselves for the so-called faith in their hearts, such as the Yellow Turban Rebellion during the Three Kingdoms period.
