Chapter 123 Curve

According to Wei Zhongxian, Hun Sen is likely to be a member of the Dragon Slaying Gang, and everything seems to be logical to determine this.

After returning to Xingyuan, Yue Su went to the duty room where the corpse was parked and went directly to check Hun Sen's body. Hun Sen was stabbed in the cheek, Yue Su has already passed, there is no human skin mask on his face, and he has asked someone to identify the body several times, and there is no doubt that Hun Sen is it.

This time, Yue Su's eyes were completely focused on Hun Sen's wrist, and there was a bruise on Hun Sen's right wrist, which was obviously pinched by heavy hands, but when it was pinched, it was uncertain. After staying for a long time, no one knew what Yue Su was thinking, the sky was already bright, Yue Su suddenly smiled slightly, and said: "The big guys have been tossing all night, let's go back and rest, and Bendu also has to sleep well." ”

Yue Su is not a person who likes to sleep lazily, although he only lies down to rest at dawn, and wakes up at noon. When he woke up, he was still lying in bed, not coming down, as if he had something on his mind.

After lying on the bed for half an hour, he finally got out of bed, washed up, had a brief lunch, and then instructed Mr. Jiang to come to the flower hall to talk.

Jiang Jie didn't get to sleep last night, and he didn't go to bed early in the morning, but Jiang Gongzi has never been as diligent as Lord Yue, and at this time, he still lay on the bed and slept soundly. The people below knocked on the door to say hello, and as soon as Jiang Jie heard that it was an adult who was invited, he had to get up and muttered: "The spirit of the adult is really enough, I just lay down, why did I get up." ”

After a simple tidy-up, Jiang Jie came to the flower hall, and before he could see the salute, Yue Su asked him to sit down. Then, Yue Su said: "Sir, I remember that Miss Qinxin's father used to be the prefect of Huzhou, and was unjustly imprisoned and killed. At that time, I had promised to overturn the case for his father, but I never found the opportunity, and now I happened to come to Huzhou, so it was better to turn over this old case, and Dai Qinxin's family could rehabilitate Zhaoxue, and I could also understand her thoughts. ”

Note: In the previous article, I was going to write about Huzhou, Zhejiang, but it turned out to be Changzhou, Zhejiang, and Changzhou was in Nanzhili. ）

At this juncture, he offered to help Qin Xin overturn the case, and I am afraid that I can't figure out who it is. However, Jiang Jie didn't seem to feel any surprise, just smiled and said: "Qin Xin has been waiting for the adult to overturn the case for their family, if the adult can let her get her wish, she will definitely be happy and unable to sleep." ”

"Then it's settled. I had already seen the file of that case in the Criminal Department. I remember that the person involved in the case seems to be surnamed Xu, but I forgot what it was called. Do you remember, sir? Yue Su said.

"That man's name is Xu Xiangzhi, Qin Xin told me that he is a rich merchant in Huzhou City." Jiang Jie replied.

"Okay." Yue Su nodded and shouted loudly: "Come on, go and invite the prefect of Huzhou to me." ”

Lord Yue is familiar with things such as redressing grievances and Zhaoxue, and he can see the beginning and end of the case by using his brain casually. He and Jiang Jie went to the back hall, and along the way, they asked some more about the case, and Jiang Jie didn't know much, that is, he knew Qin Xin's father's name, and some trivial things, which Qin Xin told him.

After waiting in the back hall for a while, the prefect of Huzhou hurried over. After entering the hall, he first greeted Lord Yue, and said a few polite words, Yue Su asked him to sit down, and then asked: "Huzhou Mansion, since the governor came to Huzhou, he has also sent people to visit your official reputation, and the market is above you, does your reputation count as well, you have to make persistent efforts in the future." ”

"Thank you for your compliment, I will definitely make persistent efforts and strive to do better." Huzhou Mansion said with a little smile.

"By the way, what year did you take office?" Yue Su asked with a smile.

"Xia Guan took office two years ago." The governor of Huzhou said.

"That's about to serve a term, you did a good job, and when the term expires, the governor will sponsor you to the court." Yue Su said.

"Thank you, my lord, I don't dare to be a ......" Huzhou Mansion was simply flattered when he heard this, and with Yue Su's sponsorship, his future can be described as infinitely bright.

"Is that how it should be, the Governor has always chosen materials for the country, but any capable official, the Governor will never let him be buried. By the way, the governor heard that there is a wealthy businessman named Xu Xiangzhi in Huzhou, I don't know if the Huzhou government has heard of it? Yue Su said flatly.

"This naturally knows that Xu Xiangzhi is indeed a wealthy local businessman, I don't know why the adults mentioned him?" The prefect of Huzhou is still smiling.

"I heard that this Xu Xiangzhi is a local great benevolent person, who often builds bridges and paves roads, and is willing to give kindness, is it not for nothing? If this is the case, I would like to give him a lot of praise and set up a model for businessmen. Yue Su said deliberately.

"What my lord said is not false at all, that Xu Xiangzhi is indeed a well-known local good person, compared with those businessmen who are rich and unkind, they are simply one in the sky and one on the ground." The prefect of Huzhou hurriedly climbed along the pole.

"In that case, Bendu really wants to meet this person. In this way, Huzhou Mansion, you can ask someone to invite Xu Xiangzhi now, and this governor will see if this Xu Dashan can be famous. After saying this, Yue Su looked at Tie Qiu, who was standing on the side, and ordered: "Tie Qiu, you go and order the kitchen, prepare more good wine and good food in the evening, and the governor will treat you." ”

"Yes, sir."

Xu Xiangzhi, a wealthy businessman in Huzhou Mansion, has always been in the silk business, standing in Huzhou, the time and place are favorable, and it is very difficult to get rich or not. Xu Xiangzhi is not tall, but his belly is not small, and his face is big and round, all oily.

Today, I was listening to music in my own garden, and suddenly someone came to report that someone from the prefect's yamen had come to see the master. Xu Xiangzhi let the messenger in, only to know that it was the governor who had been invited, and when he heard this, his heart was chuckled, and he didn't have the courage to go, so he had to come to the governor's office.

Lord Yue has been waiting in the back hall, chatting casually with the prefect of Huzhou, and when Xu Xiangzhi arrived, Yue Su asked him to sit at the beginning of the Huzhou Mansion, opened politely, and then said: "I heard that Master Xu has been doing business in Huzhou, and he is kind and charitable, and he is the first good person in the local area. Now these days, businessmen are mostly profit-seeking, and there are really fewer and fewer people like Master Xu. ”

"Thank you for the compliment, the villain just wants to do something for his hometown fathers. It's not a righteous act. Xu Xiangzhi said humbly. But when I said this, I was still wondering in my heart, I hadn't done any good deeds on weekdays, where did Lord Yue's words start.

"By the way, Master Xu, how long have you been doing business in Huzhou?" Yue Su asked.

"My Xu family has been doing business in Huzhou since my grandfather's time." Xu Xiangzhi replied.

"Oh." Yue Su nodded, and then said: "By the way, when this governor was serving as the secretary of the Criminal Department in Beijing, he once received an anonymous letter, because he was in a hurry to exterminate the rebels of the White Lotus Sect at that time, so he did not free up his hands to take care of it. That incident seems to be related to a previous Huzhou prefect, this prefect's name is Cheng Zhongwei, I don't know if Master Xu has ever heard of it? ”

"This ......" Xu Xiangzhi hesitated, but still said truthfully: "It seems that there is such a prefect." Xu Xiangzhi knew that it would definitely not be a good thing to let Lord Yue invite him to the house, and now it has really been verified, it is true.

"That Governor Cheng once arrested you in prison, I don't know if Master Xu still remembers this?" Yue Su asked with a smile.

"This ...... It seems that there is a ...... Such a thing......" Xu Xiangzhi said embarrassedly.

"Like?" Yue Su sneered and said, "Do you also need to use the word "like?" Master Xu's memory won't be so bad, if there is, there is, if there is Don't give Ben an ambiguous answer. ”

"Ah...... There are ......," Xu Xiangzhi said stiffly.

"Why did he put you in prison?" Yue Su said coldly.

He ...... He asked for bribes from Xiaomin......" Xu Xiangzhi said: "It is precisely because of this that he was later defeated and was included in the imperial history, which not only dismissed him from his official position, but also lost his life......"

"Do you know quite well about this, and how much bribe did he ask you for, did you give it to him?" Yue Su asked again.

"He asked Xiaomin for eight hundred taels of silver, Xiaomin didn't give it to him at first, and as a result, he suffered a lot in prison, and then he was forced to compromise, but he couldn't release the villain, and this big corrupt official was impeached and brought to justice." Xu Xiangzhi said.

"It seems that such corrupt officials should be punished well. I just don't know why he put you in prison, and how did he threaten you and make you compromise? The Governor has also tried many corrupt officials, although they also extort rich people, but they can also do it in a reasonable and responsible manner, you do not have a handle in their hands, they rarely take the initiative to ask for money. Yue Su then asked.

"This ...... Someone falsely accused Xiaomin of robbing people's daughters......" Xu Xiangzhi said through gritted teeth.

"So that's the case, what is the name of the person who falsely accused you, and where is it now?" Yue Su asked.

He ...... Xiaomin didn't know either, it seemed that he had moved away......" Xu Xiangzhi said with an ugly face.

"No, according to the law of the Ming Dynasty, false accusations plus three grades, Cheng Zhongwei's corruption and perversion of the law have all been tried, and the person who framed you will never be able to escape the law. How can you move away? Yue Su said coldly.

"This ...... The case is not a small trial...... Why did you let him out...... Xiaomin really doesn't know ......" Xu Xiangzhi didn't know how to answer Yue Su's question, and when he spoke, he was stumbling.

"According to what you say, there are really some problems in this case. Since it is a case that happened in Huzhou, the Zhejiang Nickel Division Yamen should also have a file, so let's let the governor go to Hangzhou, transfer the case file from the Nickel Division Yamen, and check it out to see what is going on! Yue Su looked at Xu Xiangzhi with a smile, and said, "Master Xu, you will stay in this governor for the past two days, and stay for a few days." ”

"Ah......h
