Chapter 32 Wendao Wutu

Yunhui Pavilion in Jiangdu City, here is the official post house of Jiangdu County, generally only for important officials, Yunhui Pavilion covers an area of five acres, consisting of five courtyards, each courtyard has more than a dozen rooms, and there are special officials waiting for officials.

However, this five-acre post official was inhabited by only one official at this time, and this person was Wei Deyu, the imperial historian who arrived in Jiangdu more than a month ago, Wei Deyu was a member of the Jingzhao Wei clan and was very trusted by Emperor Yang Guang.

This trip to the south of the Yangtze River, Wei Deyu first impeached Pengcheng County Taishou Zhang Xin to raise taxes privately, but the specific operator of the river transport made Yang Xi commit suicide bizarrely, so that he was not enough evidence, Zhang Xin was only transferred to Liang County as Cheng, this incident made Emperor Yang Guang quite dissatisfied with him, and sent Xue Daoheng, the doctor of Si Li, to investigate another case, so that Wei Deyu did not investigate the official, but investigated him, and impeached him to the emperor Yang Guang for accepting bribes, in fact, he did accept a thirty-pound golden Buddha sent to him by Wanji and Qianji in Pengcheng County.

When he arrived in Jiangdu County, he learned that Wanji and Qianji were actually the properties of the Zhang family, and he realized that he had been fooled, but fortunately, Yang Guang still trusted him and issued a secret decree to him, ordering him to secretly investigate the property of the Guanlong nobles in the Jianghuai area.

In the past month, Wei Deyu is very low-key, go out early and return late, he has made a lot of amazing discoveries, the Zhang family's control of Caoyun is only the tip of the iceberg, in fact, the major chaebols of the Guanlong aristocracy began to occupy Jianghuai, Jiangnan and other wealthy places ten years after the opening of the emperor, and infiltrated their power into every industry in the name of generals and henchmen, especially the wide range of granges, only the Zhang family occupied thousands of hectares of tea gardens, dozens of granges.

There are also the Yuan family, the Dugu family, the Yuwen family, the Yu family, the Dou family, the Hou Mo Chen family, the Changsun family, etc., almost every one of these Guanlong nobles is rich and rival in Jiangnan.

These industries have developed more rapidly in recent years under the protection of Zhang Yunyi, the Taishou of Jiangdu County, Yu Wenqi, the Taishou of Danyang County, and Yu Qinming, the Taishou of Wujun, and others.

Under the lamp, Wei Deyu is working hard to write, he has written three thick books, tens of thousands of words, all of which are his detailed investigation for more than a month, he already knows that Yang Yuanqing came to Jiangnan to investigate the case, Yang Guang ordered him to hand over the investigation report to Yang Yuanqing, and Yang Yuanqing came to attack Jiangnan officialdom.

At this time, there was a knock on the door, and Wei Deyu stopped his pen and asked, "Who is it?" ”

"Master Wei, it's me!" This is the voice of Wang Shunlang, the curator who served him.

"What's the matter?"

"I've brought a brazier to my master."

It is now early November, although the weather in Jiangdu is not as cold as in the north, but it is very cold, Wei Deyu rubbed his hands and smiled: "Send it in!" ”

The door opened, Wang Shunlang came in with a big brazier, Wei Deyu hurriedly stepped forward to help, the two carried the brazier into the house, Wang Shunlang glanced at the ground and said, "Master, what you wrote has been lost." ”

As soon as Wei Deyu turned around, he saw a book on the ground, he was stunned for a moment, how could the fold fall to the ground, he put down the brazier and went forward to pick it up, just at the moment when he bent over, Wang Shunlang's face became extremely hideous, he rushed forward to cover Wei Deyu's mouth, pulled out the dagger and stabbed him into the back of the heart, Wei Deyu screamed, blood gushed out, Wang Shunlang slammed the dagger on his neck, cut his throat, and killed Wei Deyu in the room.

Wang Shunlang moved quickly, he took out a book of folds from his arms, carefully put it on the table, turned two more pages, carefully put the pen on it, the handwriting on the fold was exactly the same as Wei Deyu, but the content was to impeach Xue Daoheng for taking bribes and prostitutes, Wang Shunlang flipped through several books of folds that Wei Deyu was writing, pondered, immediately put a few secret investigation reports into his arms, put the brazier in the right, dropped one thing, and quickly retreated.

An hour later, Wang Shunlang's frightened shout sounded in the Yunhui Pavilion, "Someone! Wang Yushi has been killed, come quickly! ”

．．．．．．．

A quarter of an hour later, Taishou Zhang Yunyi and Juncheng Wang Shichong led a large group of officials to rush into the Yunhui Pavilion.

"Everyone must be checked, and every room must not be spared!"

Zhang Yunyi shouted angrily, commanding the officials to search in the hall, Wang Shunlang was brought up, he knelt in front of Zhang Yunyi and said tremblingly: "The villain went to add carbon to Master Wei, and found that Master Wei fell in a pool of blood, Master Wei is too miserable!" ”

Zhang Yunyi narrowed his eyes, and there was an imperceptible bright color flashing in his eyes, "Then did you notice any movement?" ”

"Master Wei seems to have a guest coming, it's too dark, I didn't see clearly, there seems to be a quarrel, I hid in the house to keep warm, I didn't pay attention!"

Zhang Yunyi snorted heavily, "You think about it, who is this guest?" ”

"It seems to be.... Master Xue, the voice is a bit similar, I'm not sure. ”

In the room, Wang Shichong was carefully inspecting the scene of the crime, there was no trace of a fight, it was an acquaintance, and Wei Deyu was writing a book of impeachment of Xue Daoheng on the table, only halfway through the writing, Wang Shichong was slightly stunned, if someone came, it should be closed or covered with a book

At this time, Wang Shichong suddenly found a silver ring under the table, he bent down and picked it up, held it in the palm of his hand and looked at it carefully, it was a poorly made silver ring, and at a glance he knew that it was a cheap product, and Wei Deyu could not have such a thing.

"Did you find anything?"

Zhang Yunyi walked in, his brows furrowed, Wei Yushi was dead, if he couldn't find the murderer, he couldn't explain to the saint.

"Envoy, Wei Yushi seems to be impeaching Doctor Xue." Wang Shichong pointed to the fold.

Zhang Yunyi snorted coldly, "This is normal, didn't Xue Daoheng impeach him the same?" ”

"What else did you find?"

"And a silver ring."

Wang Shichong handed the silver ring to Zhang Yunyi, "Found on the ground, it may be related to the murderer." ”

Zhang Yunyi looked at the silver ring carefully, shook his head and said, "This kind of inferior goods are worth fifty yuan at most, and it has nothing to do with Wei Yushi." ”

"Envoy, I seem to have seen this silver ring." An entourage behind Zhang Yunyi said.

Zhang Yunyi turned around suddenly, looked at his entourage and asked, "Where have you seen it?" ”

"It seems to be one of Dr. Xue's subordinates, surnamed Jiang, I have seen it in his hands."

"Doctor Xue?"

Zhang Yunyi was stunned, he glanced at Wang Shichong, "Juncheng, this is not easy to do!" ”

Wang Shichong looked down at the ground, and said after a while: "No way, it's better than not being able to explain to the saint." ”

Wang Shichong walked out quickly, "Inform the brothers, go to the Jinhan Pavilion!" ”

Zhang Yunyi's eyes showed a smug smile.

．．．．．

Doctor Xue Daoheng lives in a building next door, called Jinhan Pavilion, which is also a post house with good conditions, and the reason why Xue Daoheng and Wei Deyu are not allowed to live in the same building is because Xue Daoheng and Wei Deyu have a bad relationship because of the impeachment.

"Have you been looking for it? How could it be inexplicably missing! ”

In the room, Xue Daoheng was angrily scolding several of his subordinates, and one of his entourages went out at noon and had not returned yet, which made Xue Daoheng extremely annoyed.

Xue Daoheng is nearly seventy years old this year, is the most famous poet of the Sui Dynasty, and Lu Sidao is equally famous, but at the same time, he is also a pretentious and high-minded, but also a person who loves officialdom, on the one hand, he is a high-ranking official appointed to him by Emperor Yang Guang, on the other hand, he has repeatedly written poems to ridicule Yang Guang, compared to Yang Guang to the king of Zhou You, who has challenged the emperor's bottom line several times, Yang Guang respects his outstanding talent, and he also endures and endures, this time he was sent to Jiangnan to inspect, originally let him check the Jiangnan magistrate, but he was used by Zhang Yunyi to impeach Yu Shi Wei Deyu, Yang Guangshen was disappointed.

Xue Daoheng has already received the text, once Yang Yuanqing arrives in Jiangdu, they will immediately handle the handover, he will return to the capital, he will return to Beijing early tomorrow morning, but the entourage is nowhere to be found, which makes Xue Daoheng very annoyed.

"Master, it's late at night, and you can only be in gambling halls and brothels, or you can't enter the city outside the city."

"Then go to the gambling house and brothel to find it, and look for it!"

At this moment, an entourage rushed in, "Master, Taishou and Juncheng are here, saying that there is something important." ”

Xue Daoheng was stunned for a moment, and hurriedly walked out.

In the courtyard, Zhang Yunyi's eyes were indifferent, and Wang Shichong was standing behind, expressionless, surrounded by a large number of servants.

"Zhang Taishou, Wang Juncheng, what do you have to teach you so late?" Xue Daoheng walked out with a smile.

Zhang Yunyi said lightly: "Doctor Xue, your entourage Jiang Qingke?" ”

Xue Daoheng's brows furrowed, "I'm also looking for this person, I went out at noon, and now I haven't returned, what's the matter, has something happened to him?" ”

Zhang Yunyi shook his head, "I'm sorry, Doctor Xue, we offended us." ”

Zhang Yunyi waved his hand, "Search his room!" ”

Dozens of officials rushed to the room where the entourage lived and smashed open Jiang Qing's room, Xue Daoheng was furious, "Zhang Taishou, what are you doing here?" ”

Wang Shichong sighed and said, "Doctor Xue, Wei Yushi was killed more than an hour ago, and we found your entourage Jiang Qing at the scene. ”

Xue Daoheng was stunned, was Wei Deyu actually killed? At this moment, the voice of the official came from the room, "Found it!" ”

Several officials took out a cloth bag, which contained several bloody clothes and a bloody dagger, "Taishou, let's dig it out from under the bed!" ”

"This.... What's going on? Xue Daoheng was stunned, and he couldn't react for a while that something had happened.

Zhang Yunyi said coldly: "Doctor Xue, please hand over Jiang Qing!" ”

．．．．．．．

Early the next morning, Yang Yuanqing's fleet arrived at the Jiangdu wharf, and a group of important officials such as Zhang Yunyi, Jiangdu Cheng Wang Shichong, Sima Liu Si, and Duwei Wang Jinwu went out of the city to greet the new imperial historian.

But Xue Daoheng, a doctor who was also patrolling the Jiangnan area, did not come, he was temporarily detained on suspicion of killing Yu Shi Wei Deyu, and Zhang Yunyi was ready to hand over the matter to Yang Yuanqing for disposal.

Doctor Si Li is suspected of killing the imperial history, this is a big case anyway, as the imperial historian, Yang Yuanqing must go back to the capital to face the saint to report, that is to say, Yang Yuanqing can only stay in Jiangdu for three days at most, understand the situation, and then he must return to the capital to face the saint.

Zhang Yunyi was proud in his heart, didn't Yang Yuanqing come to investigate the case? I created a big case for him and asked him to investigate it slowly.

"The big ship is docking!"

A boatman shouted, and a team of official ships slowly docked, this is Yang Yuanqing arrived, and Zhang Yunyi led the officials to meet him.

More than a hundred soldiers walked down from the big boat, and a young general wearing a silver helmet walked down, but he didn't see Yang Yuanqing's shadow, Zhang Yunyi was stunned, and hurriedly stepped forward and asked, "Where is Yang Yushi?" ”

The young general was Su Lie, he glanced at the officials who came to greet him, looked at the military attache in the middle, and asked, "Is Wang Jinwu Lieutenant here?" ”

Wang Jinwu is the captain of the Jiangdu local county soldiers, with more than 3,000 Jiangdu local troops in his hands, responsible for maintaining local security, he is also in the team, and hurriedly stepped forward and hugged his fists and said: "The last general is!" ”

Su Lie waved his hand and ordered: "Take it!" ”

Dozens of soldiers had already prepared, rushed up, pressed Wang Jinwu down, and tied him up.

"What sin have I committed? Why did you arrest me? Wang Jinwu shouted desperately.

An accompanying attendant in the back stepped forward and said: "Someone accused you of forcibly seizing people's property and harming people's lives, and you will be dismissed on the spot by the order of Yang Yushi!" ”

"Ridiculous!"

Zhang Yun said angrily: "If you don't know the truth of the matter, will you be dismissed at will?" Where are you Yang Yushi? I'll ask him! ”

At this time, Wang Shichong suddenly said coldly: "Yang Yuanqing should be in the military camp now!" ”
