Chapter 325 Headless Case

On December 4 last year, in the reconstruction project of Dongkangfang in Lin'an City, the construction workers dug up two headless corpses from the ground, and later verified by Lin'an Mansion that the two bodies were the carpenters Sima Ping and Sima Nan brothers who disappeared a year ago.

According to the landlord who is familiar with the two brothers, about ten years ago, the Sima brothers came to Lin'an from the war-torn Xiangfan area, both of them were in their twenties at the time, they were kind and duty-bound, not good at words, but the carpenter work is very skilled, over the years, the two brothers have been making wooden tools for people in the Dongkangfang area, because the two are fair, quite appreciated by the neighbors, so almost everyone in the Dongkangfang area is known,

A year ago, Sima Ping's brothers disappeared suddenly, even the landlord did not know their whereabouts, at that time, most of the surrounding neighbors thought that they may have returned to their hometown, the brothers have been unmarried, and less than people, almost no friends, less than two kind carpenters, the residents of Dongkangfang felt a little uncomfortable for a while, during that time, people before and after meals often talked about Sima brothers, the landlord also reported the matter to the government, Lin'an Mansion officials also went to Dongkangfang to investigate, unsuccessful, over time, Everyone slowly forgot about them,

It was not until the complete renovation of Dongkangfang, the corpse of the Sima brothers was dug up in a long-abandoned garden, which aroused people's interest again, the ancient inhabitants rarely moved, and most people remembered these two carpenters, in the two corpses, the official found a carpenter certificate issued by the government, this certificate is made of wooden materials, from the above can be clearly seen, Sima Ping, Sima Nan's name and the carpenter rank of the two, this is the only basis for the government to judge the identity of the two,

After that, the Lin'an Mansion re-examined the case and included it in the major criminal cases.

This was originally an ordinary criminal case, but since February of this year, it has given rise to a new story.

I don't know where the rumors began to flow out, the carpenter has no head, which means that the Song character of the Song Dynasty has removed the treasure cover, that is, the Song Dynasty has exhausted the number of Qi in the Song Dynasty, and the names of these two carpenters also show their meaning, Sima Ping, Sima Nan, together is Sima Pingnan, rumors say that there is a person named Sima who will pacify the south, and the south does not refer to the area under the jurisdiction of the Song Dynasty now, at the same time, there are two limerick poems as evidence, "The carpenter has no head to cover the Song Dynasty, and Sima Pingnan refers to the treatment." ”

As the saying goes, "Good things don't go out, but bad things spread thousands of miles." It didn't take long for the entire Lin'an City to be in an uproar, and even many tabloids published the news implicitly.

"Ladies and gentlemen, the lower part of the Song character is a wooden character, and these two carpenters are dead people, it seems that there is really a little truth when you think about it, and there is any such thing as Pingnan, which can also be far-fetched, it seems that this rumor-monger still has a brain, but for this kind of nonsense, I will not believe it at all, what about you, are you the same as me."

"Your Majesty, the ministers will not believe such childish rumors." The ministers replied in unison,

"Well, ladies and gentlemen, although this kind of rumor is naïve, it also shows one point, that is, in Lin'an City, where our dynasty is located, someone wants to do something wrong to our dynasty, this person may be an enemy of our dynasty, a meticulous work from Mongolia, or some rebels with ulterior motives, in short, the purpose of spreading this rumor is to intend to subvert our dynasty, with ill intentions, this is definitely not something that ordinary people can come up with, they will not and do not dare."

Jia Rudao, who rarely spoke at the court meeting, first played: "Your Majesty Shengming, this matter is so bad that it has endangered the stability of our court, and the court should strictly investigate it." ”

"Well, the words of the master are very agreeable." I nodded and said, "Chen Zongli, the secretary of the Criminal Department." ”

Chen Zongli came out and said: "The minister is here." ”

"Chen Zongli Chen Aiqing, your criminal department immediately set up a special team to investigate the source of this rumor."

"Yes, Chen Zongli obeys the order."

"The prefect of Lin'an is talking about friends."

"The minister is here."

"Qian Aiqing, your Lin'an Mansion will find out the headless case as soon as possible."

"Yes, Chen Qian said that you obey the order."

"Qian Aiqing, after you go back, you will immediately gather the major newspapers in Lin'an City, first, to tell them that the government will inform them of the progress of the case at any time, of course, anything involving clues to solve the case can be passed away; The second is to inform the people that this matter is a rumor fabricated by people with ulterior motives to undermine the stability of our dynasty, and that everyone should not act as a disseminator for such people, and if they do not obey the advice of the government, the government has the right to deal with it according to law; The third is to vigorously publicize the political achievements of Lin'an Mansion last year, so that the people can feel that their lives are getting better day by day, and the fourth is to select 20 people from among the opposition people from different strata of Lin'an City as senators of Lin'an Mansion to form a senate group to jointly discuss the construction and development direction of people's livelihood in Lin'an City. ”

The subtext friend was stunned for a moment and asked, "Your Majesty, forgive the ministers for being stupid, what is this senator." ”

"Qian Aiqing, as the name suggests, senate is to participate in political deliberations, whether the name is appropriate or not, I mean to let the people participate in the development and construction of the city, from different strata of the people to elect representatives, they can reflect to the government at all levels of the actual situation and ideas of the strata they represent, and put forward their suggestions, this is equivalent to the liaison between the government and the people, the second is because the government to formulate the policy is often not comprehensive enough, will be biased, so need to brainstorm, In the planning of urban development, we should listen to the opinions of various people and seek common ground while reserving differences, so as to win the understanding and support of the majority of the people. ”

The subtext friend thought for a while and said, "Your Majesty, the minister obeys the order. ”

"As for the formation of a senate group by non-governmental people, I originally planned to launch this policy in the second half of this year, and since Lin'an City has this incident, I will use Lin'an as a pilot." I continued, "Ladies and gentlemen, for some departments in the DPRK, you can also try, for example, the Ministry of Commerce, to develop the economy, you can naturally invite business figures to discuss the way of development, some time ago, I and you discussed how to improve export trade, I have put forward my own proposal for the largest export firm, Quanzhou Pushi firm, I think it is a good way, the Ministry of Commerce can completely adopt it, the officials of the various ministries of our court are not proficient in everything, so we need to rely on the knowledge of professionals, so as to avoid detours, For example, the Ministry of Education and Health, Jiang Aiqing, you understand education, but you don't know about health medicine, if you are asked to change your career to study medicine and come to work after you are proficient, it is impossible, people's energy is limited, and there are many medical talents in our dynasty, but it is impossible for them all to serve in the government, so I have this idea and form a non-governmental senate. ”

Jiang Wanli came out and said: "Your Majesty's intention is to let the people participate in politics. ”

"It can't be said to be participating in government affairs, in terms of the current consciousness of the people, it is far from reaching this situation, it can only be said that it is to let the people put forward relevant suggestions, of course, whether these suggestions are adopted, is still decided by the government, and the people can also be allowed to revise the government affairs that are about to be implemented, in order to improve these policies and practices, as the imperial court, when gradually guide the people of our court to participate in it."

"Yes, I understand."

This method may be similar to that of the Political Consultative Conference of later generations, that is, people from different classes, different statuses, and different nationalities are organized together to discuss basic policies such as national or local development guidelines.

"Now back to the headless case I just mentioned, since this case affects the stability of our dynasty, then as the newly established Jinyi Guard, we should start to deal with it, Wei Xiaoqi."

Xiao Qi went down to the main hall and said, "Your Majesty, the minister is here." ”

"How is the formation of Jinyiwei progressing?"

"Back to Your Majesty, the address of Jinyiwei has been selected, the heads of the Intelligence Department and the Detective Department have also been in place, and they are currently selecting people and various equipment, and the minister is expected to complete the construction of the basic framework by the end of this month, and it will be officially operational in April."

"It's April."

"Yes, Your Majesty."

It takes two months from the beginning of the formation to the official operation, and this efficiency is also very high, I nodded and said: "Although Jinyiwei has just been formed, its personnel and configuration are not completely complete, but for this case, it is just an opportunity for Jinyiwei to start acting while it is formed, for Jinyiwei, the result of this time is not important, I don't even make a request, but the important thing is to start from this matter, and establish your own intelligence and investigation system." ”

"Yes, Your Majesty, the ministers obey."

"Ladies and gentlemen, for the battle of Song and Mongolia, I expect it to break out in the second half of next year, but on the eve of the war, the intelligence work of both sides will be carried out in advance, and Mongolia will definitely send a large number of fine works to various fortresses in our court, including Lin'an, before the Jinyi Wei is perfected, the Criminal Department, Lin'an Mansion and relevant departments should attach great importance to it and resolutely crack down on the enemy's fine behavior. In order to affect the normal order of our dynasty, we must also focus on cracking down on this situation, Lu Aiqing of the Military Affairs Yuan. ”

Lu Xiufu said: "The minister is here." ”

"When the enemy enters our DPRK to collect intelligence or carry out sabotage activities, our DPRK's intelligence agencies should also strengthen their activities in northern Mongolia, and intelligence is the eyes and ears of the war, which is quite important."

"Yes, Your Majesty, the ministers obey."

"Well, the headless case looks like an ordinary criminal case, but there must be another deep meaning behind it, and all ministries must pay attention to it."

"Yes, Your Majesty."

"Chen Zongli, you let Song Chengzu enter the palace in the afternoon, I have something to look for him."
