Talking about Shanxi Road Mansion Yin? The one with the surname Qian?

Zhou Shilin was silent for a moment, took a heavy bite of meat, and said: "I have arrested you for you, this kind of thing is what you have to do, and it has nothing to do with me!" ”

"It's the same surname Qian who used to stay in a military camp, and that was how many years ago." He paused, sighed, and said, "He gave up martial arts and literature, how could he have much friendship with me?" ”

There are so many civil and military officials in Great Chu, and they have all taken different paths, how many opportunities can they meet?

The girl looked at him calmly and listened attentively.

"It's not a secret, I haven't seen him for many years before I came to Shanxi Road." Zhou Shilin squinted his eyes, "If you really have a good relationship, I won't be so ruthless!" ”

Sounds plausible. The relationship is so good that it puts people in prison?

Qiao Ran smiled and said, "I checked, and I heard that Shanxi Road Mansion Yin has changed several times in recent years. ”

As soon as these words came out, Zhou Shilin's expression immediately froze, he was stunned, and continued to bow his head and eat a bite of meat as if nothing happened, and said fiercely: "Yes, I also heard this." ”

Qiao Ran tapped his finger lightly on the table, and said, "Before Master Qian, there were three Shanxi Road Mansion Yin who had accidents one after another. ”

Naturally, it was impossible not to check anything before coming to Shanxi Road, so he followed with a black eye. As far as she can see, the matter of Shanxi Road has not made trouble, and it is strange enough for the bandits to be troubled and the Shanxi Road Mansion Yin, who is constantly having accidents.

"In the past ten years, three government officials have had accidents one after another, and they all died in office. The first reigned for a year and a half and died in a flash flood, the second was in office for a year and fell to his death while observing the people's feelings, the third was a fire in the backyard, after two and a half years in office, the backyard concubine was jealous, and died of palpitations in a hurry, Lord Qian was the fourth," Qiao Ran said and paused, his eyes fell on Zhou Shilin, who was holding an iron stick, and after a moment of silence, he spoke, "He has been in power for nearly five years, and there has been no accident yet." ”

It is almost a recognized fact that the Shanxi road bandits colluded with the government, and the previous governors died strangely, and Lord Qian stayed in the seat for five years without incident, which almost everyone would think that Lord Qian was suspicious.

Zhou Shilin locked people up, and it seemed that there was really no problem.

"Therefore, the feng shui of this Shanxi Road is not good," Zhou Shilin lost the mind to eat barbecue, put down the iron stick in his hand, and stretched out his hand to Zhang Jie, who was painting with Bai Zhijun with a charcoal pen, and said, "What the people from their Yin and Yang Division said." ”

The anomaly of Shanxi Road was also brought out and discussed in the court at that time, and he was not thinking about it at that time, after all, he would not have guessed that he would one day come to clean up this mess.

Now I only vaguely remember that there was a humane at that time, "Shanxi Road is really strange, originally a good person, as soon as he ran to Shanxi Road, he was going to have an accident, it seems that the Yin and Yang Division said that Shanxi Road Feng Shui is not good" Yunyun.

Zhang Jie, who was scribbling with charcoal, raised his head, and was suddenly mentioned, but he was not in a hurry, he only smiled, and his eyes swept over and said: "Great Governor, it is the people of the Jiao family who said this, not the Great Heavenly Master, nor us." ”

When is the time to jump out and clear up? Zhou Shilin snorted coldly: "Is that the civil and military chaos of the Manchu Dynasty?" ”

Zhang Xie stopped the movements in his hand, even if he was questioned like this, his expression was still gentle, and the good temper of Zhang Tianshi, the Yin and Yang Division, was never a lie.

At this time, the good-tempered Zhang Tianshi looked at him with a smile, and there was no anger on his face: "It's really not, there are such things that the Great Governor should know, and the marriage between Ling Ai and the King of Wu'an County was not approved by us back then." ”

Zhou Shilin's career has only gotten better in recent years, and it was not good in previous years. The Zhou family's marriage with the king of Wu'an County was obviously more concerned about the marriage of Miss Zhou's family, and for this reason, they also released rumors "A match made in heaven approved by the Yin and Yang Division", and the Yin and Yang Division did not refute the rumors.

Therefore, now in Chang'an City, I don't know if six of the ten sentences said by the boiling "Yin and Yang Division" outside the city are really said by the Yin and Yang Division.

This Zhou Shilin himself should know best, otherwise the king of Wu'an County had trouble with the Zhou family and left this Zhou Shilin, why didn't Zhou Shilin talk about the Yin and Yang Division?

This soft nail touched Zhou Shilin's nose, and he turned his head and glared at Qiao Ran: The one over there is really "caring for his wife", didn't he just refute her and turn over the old accounts like this?

Qiao Ran smiled, saw Zhang Xie smiling at her, and continued to bow her head to do things, before coughing, peeling off the stubble, and then said: "So normal people will think that the previous few Fu Yin must have no problem before they will be killed, and Lord Qian was saved because of the problem, and even colluded with the same stream." ”

Zhou Shilin glanced at her, picked up the iron skewer with the barbecue again, and did not speak, but the expression on his face was very solemn, obviously listening carefully to Qiao Ran's words.

"But I still think there are some problems," Qiao Ran said, "There has always been a problem of banditry on Shanxi Road, but it has been found that in the past ten years, on the contrary, when Lord Qian has not yet arrived, the problem of banditry is more rampant, and the passing traders would rather take a long detour than dare to take the territory of Shanxi Road, and occasionally two bold, passing through Shanxi Road, the goods will be robbed and the losses will be heavy, and the heavy responsibility will not even be seen. So much so that when outsiders talk about Shanxi Road, if they know which people are from Shanxi Road who come to beg for a living, most of them will walk away in a huff, for fear that their things will be robbed.

Such things are so common that the Chang'an Mansion has issued a notice for a period of time that "the people of Shanxi Road shall not be discriminated against".

On the contrary, after Lord Qian arrived, there were occasional ordinary traders who passed through Shanxi Road in fear, but they were unharmed, and it seemed that the problem of banditry had been solved.

"But it seems that he has a bigger problem," Zhou Shilin took a bite of flesh and said, "There is a suspicion of collusion with bandits." ”

If it weren't for collusion with the bandits, how could this bandit be "obedient" when he was on an errand, and even killed three Shanxi Road Mansion Yin in a row, only he was safe?

"Not bad." Qiao Ran nodded lightly and said, "What the Great Governor said is reasonable. ”

Zhou Shilin said: "So I have no problem locking up and down officials on Shanxi Road." "Officials and bandits collude, this Shanxi road is not clean.

"I also found some information about the previous Shanxi Road Governors in some of the dossiers that Lord Zhao carried with me." Qiao Ran looked at him for a moment and said.

Before she came, her eyes were black, so she didn't check much, and the treasury of the Yamen of Dali Temple didn't have anything about the Yin of Shanxi Road, so she didn't know the rest of the more detailed news except for the inexplicable death of those Yin Yin.

However, Lord Zhao, who was born in the Ministry of Officials, obviously knew a lot more than her. This is not surprising, compared with the Dali Temple Yamen, which are all case files, the Yamen of the Ministry of Officials, which stores many official materials in the treasury, is obviously more aware of such matters.

"Any questions?" Zhou Shilin saw her solemn expression, and his heart couldn't help sinking.

After Qiao Ran glanced at him, he said, "Master Qian gave up martial arts and followed literature, was born in the army, and is skilled. "At least Zhou Shilin's skills under certification are not simple.

"The same is true of the first three." The girl said.

This is not a coincidence, once or twice it can be said to be a coincidence, but every official who has been appointed as the governor of Shanxi Road is like this, this is obviously not a coincidence that can make sense.

A civil official still needs to pay attention to his skills? Zhou Shilin was silent for a moment, and said, "Does Your Majesty's arrangement have a deep meaning?" ”

Qiao Ran smiled and said nothing.

She is not familiar with today's son, but her style of acting is not at all like the son of heaven who has stubborn diseases. The matter of Shanxi Road must have started to be laid out early.

"Your Majesty must not have wanted to make such a big deal at first." She said.

Naturally, such as Zhou Shilin, he made a big move, and successively sent several skilled officials to pull Shanxi Road to be the governor of the government, but he inevitably did not have the intention of quietly solving the bandits.

It's just that these civil and military masters have had accidents one after another, and some people say that "the feng shui of Shanxi Road is not good".

Zhou Shilin nodded and snorted, obviously thinking so, only paused, and couldn't help but say: "I haven't seen Lao Qian, oh, it's surnamed Qian for many years, but when I was in the army, although this surnamed Qian was grumpy and smelly, it was ...... He doesn't look like a wicked man. ”

After saying this, he found the girl's gaze looking at him, and there was undisguised scrutiny in it. Zhou Shilin, who was looking at it, jumped in his heart, and said busily: "Of course, this is also how many years ago, people will become, and this Shanxi Road is so evil, maybe it will become evil a long time ago." ”

Regarding the Shanxi Road Mansion Yin who was arrested by him, Zhou Shilin's mood was obviously a little delicate. On the one hand, there should have been some friendship in the army back then, so that subconsciously, he didn't actually think that the person surnamed Qian would do anything evil, on the other hand, the "facts" were in front of him, and the person surnamed Qian did not look very clean.

Of course, no matter how good the friendship was back then, it couldn't compare to his own, he could speak for the surname Qian, but if he talked nonsense, the basin would be buckled on his head, but he couldn't.

Such a state of mind is also human. Qiao Ran smiled and said, "Don't worry, I believe in you and don't doubt you." ”

Zhou Shilin is such a person, if it weren't for the fact that he still has a little human touch, she would not let Master Qiao get close to Zhou Shilin when she first entered Chang'an.

"What did Master Qian say after he was arrested as a suspect?" Qiao Ran thought for a moment and asked again.

Zhou Shilin shook his head: "What can you say?" No, nothing was said. Not only that, but he also scolded him, and his temper was the same as back then.

The girl was quiet for a moment, and then said: "Since Your Majesty has been preparing for the affairs of Shanxi Road for a long time, it has been nearly ten years since the transfer of civil and military officials to Shanxi Road, no matter what, I should have found some sporadic things, but this time, no one told me to wait for these things." ”

Although he had only been here for a few days, this Lord Qiao's eyes still surprised him again and again, and as soon as he opened his mouth, he pointed out the key to the strangeness. Zhou Shilin's hand holding the iron stick tightened, his bones turned white, and his lips trembled: "It's useless to check in the past, let's start from the beginning?" ”

Qiao Ran looked at him and nodded solemnly.

A thing that has not found the slightest clue for ten years must be extraordinary, which is comparable to those unsolved cases in Dali Temple that have not been investigated for many years, but even if it is such an unsolved case, there are always some clues to follow. But this time, His Majesty asked them to start from scratch, which was too much trouble.

"However, there is another possibility," the girl pondered for a long time, and then she spoke, she looked at Zhou Shilin, her eyes sharpened, "That's ...... This time things changed. ”

Thing...... It's changed. Zhou Shilin was as dazed as falling into a cloud, and only blurted out instinctively: "Of course it has changed, how can ordinary bandits make my officers and soldiers have such a strange illness?" ”

If His Majesty hadn't asked him to find someone and get into trouble by mistake, how could there be these things? Therefore, in addition to the strangeness of Shanxi Road, everyone has encountered it for the first time, which is not unusual.

Qiao Ran glanced at him and said, "I mean that the mastermind behind the scenes should have appeared behind Shanxi Road since Lord Qian took office." ”

It is not for the purpose of calling these people to suppress the bandits, and after His Majesty found out that those masterminds behind the scenes were on Shanxi Road, he transferred troops and people to get rid of these people, which is no problem. But for people like them who want to figure out where things are going, a lot of things don't know.

The death of those Shanxi Road Mansion Yin may have been related to the bandits, but since Lord Qian took office, the mastermind behind the scenes may have come to Shanxi Road, controlled the mountain bandits, or colluded with the mountain bandits.

Therefore, the matter of the previous few governors may be just a simple collusion between officials and bandits, this is not what His Majesty wants her to do, and what happened after Lord Qian arrived is what she wants to investigate.

Therefore, His Majesty did not give them any clues, because the previous governors were investigating bandits, and it was the turn of Lord Qian, which may have something to do with the black hands behind the scenes. From this point of view, Lord Qian obviously has a lot of suspicions, and his performance is obviously unreliable, so it makes sense that His Majesty didn't give it.

Thinking of this, Qiao Ran propped her chin and couldn't help sighing, so that she could sort out some of the key points. It was Zhou Shilin, who really told him to catch the right person by mistake.

"So, you can't call Lord Qian to have an accident at this time." Qiao Ran said.

Zhou Shilin nodded, patted his chest and promised, "You can rest assured......"

Before he finished speaking, some henchmen and soldiers hurriedly ran to the hall and exclaimed: "Great Governor, it's not good, Lord Qian, he ......."

The faces of the people turned pale.

Zhou Shilin was even more shocked and suddenly stood up from his chair: "Assassinated? ”

The faces of the officers and soldiers who were interrupted froze, and after a pause, they said, "No...... Alive! ”

Alive! Not only Zhou Shilin, but even Qiao Ran subconsciously breathed a sigh of relief, and then heard Zhou Shilin cough, as if he was a little embarrassed: "What's wrong?" ”

Only then did the officers and soldiers settle down and said: "After lunch, Lord Qian suddenly fainted, and his subordinates didn't know what to do, so they came over to ask the governor to make a decision." ”

After all, the Great Governor said that the doctor is also problematic, how dare they let others approach Lord Qian at will?
