"This person's name is Wang Qi, and everyone on the street calls him Seventh Brother, who is a bully in Qinzhou City. However, he has a good sister, his sister is Fu Yin's sixth aunt, and she is usually very favored by Fu Yin. The year before last, she gave birth to a big fat son to Fu Yin, and the tide rose all of a sudden, except for Mrs. Zhengfang, the other concubines were not as good as her. ”

"It turns out that the difficult place is here, Fu Yin knows that he is the younger brother of the concubine, is this kind of criticism?" Nanxing thought back to Fu Yin's kind face, and couldn't help but sigh in his heart, he was really unseemly.

Who knew that Cai Tong shook his head, "This Wang Qi has never provoked powerful people, and those ordinary merchants or ordinary people, he will not bully too hard at once." Most people know that he is Fu Yin's brother-in-law, so they put up with it, and this Wang Qi is also quite good at being a person, as long as he comes up and down the yamen, there will be some points, such as inviting everyone to drink tea, have breakfast or something. So no one told Fu Yin these things, and Fu Yin naturally didn't know what he usually did. ”

"Then have you asked Wang Qi? What did the merchant ask him to do? ”

"After I took over this fraud case, I asked a few questions, but Wang Qi said that he had not met any businessmen. That's why the case has been delayed, and now there are no other clues. Cai Tong's face was embarrassed.

"Then I don't know what Cai Zhutou wants me to do for you?"

"Cai Tong is very familiar with the inferior people, so I dare to ask Miss Nan to pay more attention to this Wang Qi on the street, maybe she can find any clues."

Nanxing didn't agree immediately, "Then how long do you want me to follow him?" I didn't plan to stay in Qinzhou City for long. ”

"Ten days? If there is no clue in ten days, it will be considered that Cai is unlucky, and the big deal is not to be a head catcher in this Qinzhou Mansion, and to return to Jinling Mansion to make a living. "Cai Tong's words are half-true, if this case can't be solved, Fu Yin will definitely not give him a good face, but that's all.

"Okay, I still have ten days. Tell me where this Wang Qi usually goes, I know it in my heart. ”

……

Wang Qi's daily trajectory is very simple, go to Ding Shixuan for lunch at noon, go to the teahouse next door to listen to books and drink tea in the afternoon, and then fight with people in the evening, and go to the beauty to have dinner in the evening, listen to a little song by the way, and return to his house around the time.

Nanxing followed Wang Qi for four or five days, and did not find anything abnormal, and when he was thinking about whether there was a problem with Cai Tong's investigation direction, something happened again.

On this day, the old lady of the Zhao family suddenly felt a little dizzy, such a situation has appeared for more than a year, there is no good way to change several doctors before, half a year ago Zhonghetang came to a doctor surnamed Meng, after giving Mrs. Zhao a chance to diagnose and treat, Mrs. Zhao's dizziness symptoms have been reduced a lot. So on this day, the little servant of the Zhao Mansion went to Zhonghe Hall as usual to ask Dr. Meng to come over for a consultation.

When the little servant arrived at Zhonghe Hall, he found that Dr. Meng was taken away by the officials of the government, saying that he was involved in a murder. Since Cai Tong was investigating the case of Zhao Laosan's deception, he happened to ask some things in the Zhao Mansion, so Mrs. Zhao asked Cai Tong to see what case Dr. Meng was involved in, and she was still waiting for Dr. Meng to be treated.

If you don't say that the case of a big family is not easy to handle, as soon as Mrs. Zhao spoke, Cai Tong had no choice, so she could only hurry back to the yamen to ask about the situation.

"Yo, isn't this Cai Zhutou, why are you in the government today?" Speaking is another head catcher in the Qinzhou City Mansion, his surname is Zhang, and he is much older than Cai Tong.

In Daqian, it stands to reason that there will be two or three heads in the yamen of each state capital. There were originally two catchers in Qinzhou City, one was this Zhang catcher, and the other Zhou catcher said that he was too old and asked to go home to support the elderly, so from the past year to before Cai Tong came, there was only one catcher in the Qinzhou Mansion, but the Mansion Yin had already recommended it, and a very old qualified official in the Mansion succeeded to the position of Catcher, but I don't know why the Ministry of Officials wanted to arrange Cai Tong over, you must know that the Mansion Yin of the state capital outside the Imperial City is the most taboo for the Ministry of Officials to directly arrange their personnel.

This is also because when Taizu was the great Qian, due to the initial decision of the world, in order to prevent emergencies in various places, Taizu arranged a lot of his own eyeliner to various states and governments through the ministry. This situation is only a little bit like the various intelligence agencies in the history of the South Star, such as Jinyiwei or something.

After the death of the crown prince of Taizu succeeded to the throne, this kind of thing of planting eyeliner in the state capital gradually became less, and it may be because the world is peaceful, so there is no need for this method.

In the past, positions such as the master and head catcher in the government were all excerpts from the government Yin, and the name and net worth background of the person he selected were reported, and the officials would be appointed according to the reported list. Only when the emperor has some dissatisfaction or opinions about a certain state capital, will he let his henchmen go there to serve, which is like hanging a sharp sword over the head of the governor, and no one will like this person if he changes.

"Zhang Zhutou, I also just came back from the Zhao Mansion, a doctor that the old lady of the Zhao family often sees, I heard that Zhang Zhutou took him back to the yamen. The old lady of the Zhao Mansion asked me to ask about the situation. Although Zhang Zhutou's words were full of mockery, Cai Tong still spoke to him respectfully.

Zhang Zhutou smiled, "What? Does Cai Zhutou want to take over this case? It's okay, it just so happens that I have a lot of other backlogs on hand, so I'll be responsible for Cai Zhutou for this case. ”

"I didn't mean that, I just ......" Cai Tong hurriedly wanted to explain, but was interrupted by Zhang Zhutou.

"There is no need to explain, Cai Zhutou is from Jinling Mansion, we don't dare to care what we want to do, and we don't dare to ask. I'll ask my subordinates to take the file to Cai Zhutou. That doctor is now locked up in prison, Cai Zhutou please take care of himself. After Zhang Zhutou finished speaking, he left without looking back.

Cai Tong sighed heavily, he really didn't know what the person who put him in Qinzhou was going to do, he originally wanted to ask before he came, but the order came suddenly, and the time was extremely hurried, and although the letter he sent also had a reply, the content was all to make him feel at ease, and then there was no follow-up.

After a while, the little official under Zhang Zhutou sent the file of this case, Cai Tong opened the file and flipped through a few pages, then he kept frowning, and then he went to the dungeon to interrogate Dr. Meng.

This case is also very simple, Dr. Meng originally had a wife, but three years ago he reconciled and divorced the original Mrs. Meng on the grounds that his wife had nothing to do.

This former Mrs. Meng, who now wants to call her Li, because her relatives are not in Qinzhou City, and her parents have passed away, only one sister is married to Shangning. If I go to my sister, I'm afraid I'll have to send someone under the fence. In addition, as far as she knows, her sister is also living very unsatisfactorily in her husband's house now, so after she reconciled with Dr. Meng, she found a large compound in the north of the city to live.

The so-called miscellaneous courtyard is to split one's house into many rooms or courtyards and rent them out to people in need, which is somewhat similar to the shared housing of later generations. When Li left the Meng family, he took away his dowry, and Dr. Meng also gave her a little silver tael as compensation. It stands to reason that she can afford a small courtyard with two entrances with only her dowry. But, Lee has his own ideas.
