Chapter IX: Taking over cases

The next morning, Liu Hua came to the back hall of Qingshi County under the leadership of a catcher, and saw Sun County Order, Huang Zhifu, and Nian Qianyao in the back hall.

He originally wanted to borrow Sun County's connections to help him find two people with identity to act as witnesses, and when Sun Guangshen and the three of them went yesterday, he felt that the person invited by Sun County's order was not ordinary, he knew that one of them was the prefect, but he didn't know the identity of the big man, and he didn't expect that person would be Nian Qianyao anyway.

As long as it is a person who knows the history of the Qing Dynasty, I am afraid that no one does not know the history of the Qing Dynasty, this person has a strong stroke in the history of the Qing Dynasty, he followed the prince of Shuoyong Yinzhen in his early years, and under the promotion of Yinzhen, his career can be described as a smooth progress.

At the peak of his youth, he served as the governor of Sichuan, the governor of Sichuan and Shaanxi, the general of Fuyuan, the Taibao, and the first-class duke. But later, after Yongzheng became the emperor, I don't know why? He was demoted to eighteen levels in a row overnight, and was finally given by Emperor Yongzheng to commit suicide.

Looking at Nian Qianyao in front of him, Liu Hua was really surprised in his heart, although this person's fate in the later period was extremely tragic, but at the moment he was in good condition, and in the next ten years, he would rise step by step.

After knowing Nian Qianyao's identity, Liu Hua had some doubts in his heart, he didn't know what happened to Lu Dao Sun County's order to find him? Why did you introduce Huang Zhifu and Nian Qianyao to yourself? Could it be that yesterday Nian Qianyao and Huang Zhifu were attracted by their talent and wanted to worship themselves?

After seeing the puzzled expression on Liu Hua's face, Sun Xianling withdrew the maid ring in the room and asked his subordinates to close the door to death, no one was allowed to enter without an order, after doing this, Sun Xianling looked at Nian Qianyao, and after seeing that the other party nodded, he said slowly to Liu Hua.

"Liu Gongzi, I can't hide it, this official ordered someone to find you today, but some time ago, under the rule of Lord Futai, a strange case occurred.

Ten days ago, several squires went to the Futai to file a lawsuit, saying that in the abandoned old mansion of the Wu family in the western suburbs of Yangzhou Prefecture, a woman's crying could be heard at night.

The old house of the Xie family is the former residence of Wu Shiyun, the anti-Qing thief, you must have heard of Wu Shiyun's name, this person is very talented, and has a strong appeal in the local literary circle.

Later, this matter was known by the Long Live Lord, and after seeing the anthology of Wu Shiyun's handwriting, the saint was immediately furious, and ordered all the anthologies made by Wu Shiyun to be burned, and then beheaded one hundred and thirty-seven people from the Wu family.

Fifteen years have passed since this incident, and the old mansion of the Wu family, because it has been uninhabited all year round, has long become an abandoned house.

After hearing the news, Governor Huang sent the officials of the government to check there, but I don't know why? The officials who went to check on were all killed in the Wu family's abandoned mansion.

Afterwards, when the head of the government office Tong took people to clean up the scene, he found clues from under the corpse of a government officer, and the official used the blood on his body to write the words "ghost ghost" before he died.

After this happened, the government was worried that it would cause panic, so it wanted to investigate the case secretly, but I don't know what the reason was? The case was leaked out, and under the false rumors and added fuel and vinegar to the people, this case turned into a rumor that there was a ghost house in Yangzhou Prefecture, and the ghosts in the ghost house ran out to kill people.

All of a sudden, all the people around the ruined mansion were panicked, worried that they would be killed by the ghosts in the ghost house, and the prefect saw that the people were frightened, and wanted to choose an auspicious day for the zodiac and ask the master to do something, so as to appease the hearts of those people.

I don't want this matter to be known by the Lord of Long Live yet, after the saint heard the rumors that the Wu family's abandoned house was haunted, he said that Lang Lang Qiankun, how could there be a reason for ghosts to come out and make trouble? The people were frightened, because the local government was derelict in their duties and did not fulfill their duties as a parent official.

After reprimanding Lord Futai, the Holy Lord handed over the case to the fourth master, and the fourth master was busy accompanying the Holy Lord to inspect, so he ordered the young lord to come here to handle the case. I see that Liu Gongzi is thoughtful, a few days ago, Liu Gong cracked the case of Dong Dali's murder and wealth in a few fingers, so I specially introduced you to Lord Futai and Lord Nian.

Nian Nian has already stated that as long as Liu Gongzi can solve this case, Nian is willing to introduce you to the fourth master's door and serve the fourth master, this is a great creation, I hope Liu Gongzi will cherish it. ”

After listening to Sun County's words, Liu Hua was curious about the case in his heart, and at the same time had a headache, he looked at the three people in the room, and then said with a depressed face: "Lord Sun, you can hurt me."

Although I am young, I also know that some things can be known and some things cannot be known, and you don't ask for my opinion in advance, and you will tell me such a lot of secret things when you meet.

It's a murderous house haunted again, and it alarmed the emperor, these things are ordinary people who are qualified to listen, if I don't agree to investigate this case at this time, in order to keep it secret, it is estimated that this young man will have to destroy me without saying a word, alas...... For the sake of my life, how dare I say half a word. ”

After hearing Liu Hua's self-complaining complaints, the three of them were all a little surprised, none of them thought that Liu Hua was young and had such an opinion, Nian Qianyao's mind was just as Liu Hua thought, if Liu Hua couldn't solve this case, in order to keep the details, Nian Qianyao might really take measures to eliminate his mouth.

Seeing that Liu Hua's mind was so transparent, Nian Qianyao smiled heartily: "Ha Lu Ha

What do you have requirements, you can put it forward now, I will try my best to meet you, as long as you can make this case clear, I will report your credit to the fourth master, if you can get the appreciation of the fourth master, Liu Gongzi, by then, Feihuang Tengda, just around the corner. ”

Hearing Nian Qianyao's demagogic words, Liu Hua was really a little tempted, not for anything else, because the current fourth master and Prince Shuoyong are a generation of iron-fisted emperors in ten years, and now while Yinzhen has not yet made a career, he can completely stand in line with Yinzhen's camp and wait for Yongzheng to ascend the throne and become the emperor in the future.

Thinking of this, Liu Hua suddenly made up his mind, no matter what, he would solve the case, and then take this opportunity to connect with Yongzheng, but since he wanted to solve the case, it was also related to ghosts, so he had to equip himself with some hardware measures first.

After making a decision, Liu Hua scratched the back of his head, and then asked tentatively: "Three leaders, I don't know if you have heard of Zhan Zhao and Li Yuanfang?" I want a bodyguard like theirs, and then you allocate me some money and give me another official position, and that's enough. ”

After Liu Hua's words fell, Nian Qianyao and Huang Zhifu were all stunned, and after a few breaths, Huang Zhifu frowned and said: "There is no problem with the funds, the Futai Yamen can allocate ten taels of silver to you as a case handling fee."

As for the official position? This is a bit difficult, handling the case and arresting the murderer is the duty of catching fast, but in this dynasty, there is no grade to arrest fast, and you can't have an official position, so let's do it, this government temporarily appoints you as a part-time warden of Qingshi County, and from the official position of Jiupin, he is specifically responsible for investigating this case.

After all, you are the person recommended by Lianggong, and because of the relationship between Lianggong and the fourth master, in order to prevent others from being handled in the future, it is better to follow the formal way and go through some procedures after all.

And the bodyguard you proposed, the government is really powerless, Zhan Zhao is a master of chivalry in the mouth of the storyteller, responsible for protecting the safety of Bao Zheng, a famous official of the Song Dynasty, this person is not only highly skilled, but also open-minded by nature, loyal to Bao Zheng.

The Li Yuanfang in your mouth, although the official has never heard of it, but since you compare him with Zhanzhao, he must also be a top master who is not in the world, this kind of character can be met but not sought, and the official himself can't find it, where do you ask me to find it for you? ”

After listening to Governor Huang's words, Liu Hua also felt that his request was a bit excessive, and after laughing dryly, he proposed to take a look at the corpses of those officials first, and after examining the corpses, he went to the Xie family's abandoned house to investigate.

When Liu Hua's voice fell, Huang Zhifu was surprised: "Won't Gongzi Liu go back to the Yamen of Futai with us?" ”

"I won't follow you all the way, after I finish inspecting the body of the deceased and the so-called ghost house, I will go to the Yamen of that mansion to find you." After saying this, Liu Hua thought of another question: "Master Sun, my father wants me to gain a reputation and resolutely opposes me helping Yamen solve the case."

In order to prevent him from letting me come out, I will not go home to say goodbye to him later, but please send someone to tell him later, and say that I have something to do and will be back in a few days, so that he and my mother will not be worried. ”

After seeing Sun Xianling's nodding and agreeing, Liu Hua asked Huang Zhifu to write him a letter of proof to prove his official identity, and after collecting the letter written by Huang Zhifu, Liu Hua asked him for ten taels of silver as office expenses, and after he stuffed the silver into his arms and asked where the corpses of those officials were stored, he said goodbye to everyone.

As soon as Liu Hua left, Huang Zhifu joked to Nian Qianyao: "Lianggong, I paid ten taels of silver for you just now, if that kid runs away with these ten taels of silver, the official will be wasted with this little bit of money." ”

"Brother Baishan, don't cry poor here with me, as the saying goes, 100,000 snowflakes of silver in the Qing Governor's Mansion in three years, your Brother Baishan has been in charge of Yangzhou Mansion in the past few years, and it is estimated that you have saved a lot of money, right? Just ten taels of silver, for you, is it not a drop in the bucket?

However, Brother has something to remind Brother Baishan, in the past two years, the Holy Lord has paid more attention to the rectification of corruption, although I believe that Brother Baishan will not loot the people's fat and ointment in the jurisdiction, but the place where you are an official is easy to cause reverie from the outside world.

The position of the prefect of Yangzhou, many people are staring at it, the prince wants to leave this position to his people, the eighth master also wants to do so, and even the disciples of the fourteenth master are also eyeing this position, so the fourth master asked Brother Guangshen to take over your position, which is under heavy pressure. ”

Nian Qianyao's words not only vaguely warned Huang Baishan, but also sold a favor for Yinzhen in disguise, so that Sun Xianling understood that the prefect of Yangzhou was not so easy to take over, and many people were watching.

Hearing Nian Qianyao's words, Huang Baishan and Sun Guangshen glanced at each other, then smiled lightly, and the two didn't say anything.

After Liu Hua came out of the Qingshi County Ya, he walked in the direction of Yangzhou Mansion, his first stop was Yizhuang, which was located near Xilongpo in Yangzhou Prefecture, Yizhuang in ancient times was equivalent to a modern morgue, and the bodies of those officials were all placed in Yizhuang, and he had to go there for an autopsy first.
