Chapter 656: Tang Qin's Murder Case (2)
"Master Meng, the lower officials seem to have seen it too." Ma Weiran bowed slightly.
"Ma County Ling also saw it?"
"Yes, when the official carried Master Tang's body out of the prison, his right arm suddenly stretched out, and I saw that his right fingernail was indeed somewhat damaged."
"How long are Yu-sama's nails?"
"Slightly longer than normal......"
"Can you describe it specifically?" Meng Yan asked.
"It's probably that long, the thumb nail is relatively long, it's so long!" Ma Weiran stretched out his right thumb and index finger and gestured.
Meng Yan and Ge Tong's eyes met, they had both seen Tang Wei's corpse with their own eyes, the fingernails were not long at all, and they were cleanly trimmed.
In the same way, Tang Chen also said that if the wife who shares the bed and sleeps together does not even know the details of her husband, then the couple will definitely have different dreams in the same bed, and they will be inseparable.
"Ma County Order, where was Lord Tang's body placed before it was transported back to Beijing?" Meng Yan continued to ask.
"Master Tang is a prisoner, and we haven't seen each other since Guo Jianjun sent someone to transport the body away." Ma Weiran said.
"No, you know, Ma County Order!" Meng Yan's eyes suddenly straightened, and his gaze was like a sharp bayonet stabbing into Ma Weiran's eyes at once.
Ma Weiran chuckled, this young Qincha really can't be underestimated, whether he really knows or is cheating him, such an old and spicy method can only be easily used by people who have been in the officialdom for a long time.
"Lord Qincha, the lower officials really don't know." Ma Weiran has also been an official for many years, although he is unwilling to be with Heguang, but he knows the things in the officialdom very well, and even calm, and now that he has been suspended, he has a feeling of jumping out of the game.
Since it's not in it, there's no such awe.
"Everyone else is going out, and the official has something to talk to the county commander alone." Meng Yan waved his hand and motioned for everyone else in the room to go out.
"Yes!" Guo Xiaochao understood, waved his hand, drove Jiang Xiancheng and the others out, and closed the door.
"Ma County Order, now it's just the two of us here, you can talk about it now." Meng Yan said slowly.
"Lord Meng, there is nothing to say to Xiaguan?"
"Abandoned brick kiln ...... in the west of the city"
Ma Weiran was shocked, and looked at Meng Yan with a hint of incredulity.
"You probably don't know where I'm from, do you?" Meng Yan smiled slightly, "Look at this!" ”
A waist card was handed over.
"Jin Yiwei commands Meng Yan!"
"Your Excellency is Jinyiwei?" Ma Weiran was taken aback, didn't this official document say that it was the Qincha Datong Inspector? He thought it was a civil official, but he didn't expect it to be Jinyiwei.
And Meng Yan has always been wearing civilian clothes, and Ma Weiran has not been able to recognize Meng Yan's true identity from the clothes?
How can a small county know what happened in the capital, let alone a county order that is not very popular in the officialdom?
The lack of information is also a reason, even in later generations, it is impossible for the officials below to know all the officials in the capital.
Meng Yan is very well-known in the capital, but when he leaves Beijing, there are fewer people who know.
If it is really famous in the world, then at the gate of Chongwen, Shi Biao and his party will not bump into it stupidly.
What's more, Jinyiwei and civil officials are not the same system, who knows which onion you are?
"What, don't believe me?"
"No, no, how dare the lower officials not believe it." Ma Weiran suppressed the shock in his heart, thinking that not long ago, he had a contact with the mysterious figure of Jinyiwei, but he didn't expect that Tang Wei's case would be handed over to Jinyiwei to investigate.
Is this a coincidence?
Definitely not, the cases in which Jin Yiwei intervened, those are all big cases, can small cases be so popular?
"Can you say it now?"
"Yes, my lord, that day, the lower official received a notice from the officer, and hurried to the county prison cell, the body of Lord Tang had been removed from the cell by Guo Jing's men, and later, Guo Jing also arrived, as soon as he came, he blamed the lower official, saying that the lower official could not even take good care of a prisoner, and said that he wanted to impeach the lower official, and the lower official felt wronged, so he contradicted a few words, Guo Jing was very angry, scolded me for not knowing how to lift, and then, Wang Tongzuo and Jiang Xiancheng arrived ......"
"Did he accuse you like that without asking why?"
"Yes, no matter how confused the lower officials are, they can't bear this responsibility, the cell was borrowed by you, and the people have been replaced by yours, and the officials of this county don't even have a chance to get close, if something happens, it's all up to the county, and I'm not convinced by anyone in this matter, right?"
"No one hinted at you to take the blame off?" Meng Yan asked.
"My lord, the lower official has been suspended from his post and is waiting to participate, and he is not afraid to say some things." Ma Weiran said, "There are indeed people who hint to the lower officials to take down the responsibility for this ineffective care, and the conditions are very generous." ”
"On what terms?"
"Sit on the cold bench for a year, and then go to the south to be a prefect." Ma Weiran said.
"Who said that to you?" Meng Yan's face turned cold, even if Tang Chu really died by suicide, this case would never be clean.
Ming people don't do dark things, if they don't do bad things, why use such despicable means?
"Yizhou Zhizhou Zhao Lie."
"He was there at the time?"
"No, he wasn't there when the accident happened, he arrived after getting the news, Guo Jing who went to see him first, and then Xia Guan who came to see him." Ma Weiran said.
"This Zhao Lie, he's your direct boss, right?"
"Yes."
"Ma County Order, do you dare to guarantee that there is no deception or concealment in what you say?" Meng Yan said solemnly.
"Lord Meng, the lower officials dare to use their fame and life as a guarantee." Ma Weiran said, "But Master Meng, you may not understand, it is impossible for Zhao Zhizhou to say these words clearly, and Xia Guan only figured it out from his words." ”
Meng Yan nodded, what people in the officialdom say is subtle and vague, and ordinary people can't understand it, so this can't be used as direct evidence.
"Okay, Ma County Order, I've delayed you a lot, have you eaten?" Meng Yan asked.
"Eat, eat......" Ma Weiran smiled, he didn't dare to let Lord Qincha stay and invite him to eat.
"After eating, the official will send someone to send you back."
"No need, my lord, just a few steps, just walk back." Ma Weiran said busily, the county government is indeed only a few steps away from the prison, just to disturb a few steps.
"Then what's going on, Wang Dong, Hua Qingfang!"
"Mark it in!"
"The two of you escort Ma Xian Ling back to the Ya, you must send Ma Xian Ling to your home, understand?" Meng Yan commanded.
"Whoa!"
"My lord, I really don't need it!"
"Yes, it's dark and the road is slippery, Ma County ordered a person to go back, and the official is not at ease." Meng Yan insisted.
"Your Excellency, ...... you"
"This Ma Weiran is good, I want to summon him to my subordinates as a counselor of the Qin Mission." Meng Yan Road.
"You have a crush on him?"
"You didn't see it, he deliberately kept a distance from me, and he didn't grovel when he spoke, even if he knew my true identity, he wasn't too surprised, this person has been in office in Yi County for ten years, and he is in the middle and lower every year, but I feel that this person is not very gregarious in the officialdom, which is the reason why he has not been praised once in ten years." Meng Yan Road.
"My lord, I think this person's ability is like this, if he really has the ability, why hasn't he even cleared up the bandits in the territory?"
"You're talking about Moon Valley?"
"Isn't it?"
"Brother Xiaochao, if you take a closer look at the map, where is Mingyue Valley, he can't manage it even if he wants to." Meng Yan Road.
"yes, I didn't pay attention."
"Brother Xiaochao, you haven't been to a place, I don't know how difficult it is to be a magistrate, especially if you want to be a good official, it will be even more difficult." Meng Yan Road.
"This Ma Weiran is a good official?"
"Whether it's a good official or not, that's not what I said, you have to listen to the people here." Meng Yan said with a smile.
"This is also, the gold and silver cups are not as good as the reputation of the people!" Guo Xiaochao smiled in agreement.
"Let's go, let's go back to the pavilion, Xiaoyue is afraid that she is in a hurry to wait for us to eat." Meng Yan smiled.
"My lord, will Xing'an really keep to himself?"
"Listen to his words and watch his deeds, you don't think all the internal officials are so bad, there are still good people." Meng Yan smiled.
Back at the pavilion, someone had already brought hot water and towels, and Meng Yan washed his face happily.
"How's it going, is the meal ready?"
"It's already done, just wait for you to come back for dinner." Guo Yue said with a smile on her face.
"Yes, I'm so happy that I can still eat the food cooked by my wife on a business trip." Meng Yan said happily.
"Husband, I'll serve you dinner?"
"Well, well, there's Mrs. Law!" Meng Yan made a grimace.
"Xiao Chao, Brother Xiao Chao, come and eat together!"
"No, my lord, shall I eat with my brothers?"
"Xiaoyue made a table of dishes, don't waste it, come on, don't waste it!" Meng Yan shouted.
"It's coming!" Guo Xiaochao came in from outside embarrassedly, "Adults and Mrs. dine, I'm an outsider......"
"Who said you are an outsider, you are Xiaoyue's eldest brother, that is, my eldest brother, we are a family, what's wrong with having a meal?"
"Uncle?" Guo Xiaochao was stunned for a moment.
"That's right, you are commensurate with Xiaoyue's brother and sister, aren't you my eldest brother?" Meng Yan said with a glare.
"This is not appropriate, my lord, Mrs. Yue and I are only a master-servant relationship."
"What's inappropriate, don't you want the official to burn yellow paper with you and cut off the head of the chicken?" Meng Yan asked rhetorically.
"Little super big brother, from childhood to adulthood, Xiaoyue, I have always regarded you as my own eldest brother, so, in the future, you will be Xiaoyue's eldest brother!" Guo Yue said solemnly.
"Thank you, thank you!" Guo Xiaochao's eyes were a little red, he was an adopted son, and he could get such equal treatment and respect, and his wish was enough.
"Eat, taste, the fish soup made by Xiao Yue, by the way, Xiao Yue, where did this fish come from?" Meng Yan Road.
"When I entered the city, I met an old man who was fisherman, and he still had some fish that he hadn't sold, so I bought them all, kept one for myself, and gave the rest to the kitchen."
"Why hasn't such a big fish been sold?" Meng Yan looked at the big fish in the bowl and asked a little strangely.
"I heard that the county magistrate in this county has been suspended, and this fish can't be sold."
"This is strange, what does a fisherman have to do with the suspension of the county order, does this fish eater stop eating fish because of this?" Guo Xiaochao also asked in surprise.
"That's not it, I heard the old man say that every two or three days, the county magistrate will pay to buy a batch of fresh fish to send to the county school to accompany the students studying there, but now the county magistrate has been suspended, and the money is gone, and he can't afford to buy fish, so this fish can't be sold."
"How much fish can this county school eat, is it possible that if you don't sell it to the county order, you can't sell it?"
"I heard the old man who bought the fish said that there are more than 100 students in the county school!"
"More than a hundred, my good man, all the prisoners in this country add up to only three or four hundred?" Guo Xiaochao exclaimed, "There are so many people in a small county school? ”R1152
