Chapter 144 in person
Master Qiu instantly put on a high hat for Mei Changqing, and it didn't matter if Mei Changqing really had an idea, anyway, he didn't pay attention to it.
The room was full of people, all staring at him alone, Mei Changqing looked at Lord Qiu and Fang Tongzhi, and then looked at Fan Tingshi and Fan Deyuan next to him, pulling the corners of his mouth.
"Where is there any good solution for Xiaguan? It's just that I think it's a huge Guiyang Mansion, and Fang Tongzhi has been guarding it for so many years, if we can't even solve this little thing, I'm afraid our entire Guiyang Mansion will be in chaos. ”
Guiyang Mansion is in chaos, and it is even more difficult to get out, isn't Lord Qiu still waiting to go back to the capital as soon as possible? Then find a way.
"The lower officials didn't pay attention, Lord Fang, don't be surprised, Lord Qiu is the Lord of the Holy Qin, maybe he has an idea?"
This time, even Mei Changqing looked at Lord Qiu with blank eyes, a group of people were full of curious eyes, and Lord Qiu was stared at so that the fat all over his body trembled a little.
"This official was only ordered to investigate the case of official bank fraud, and he had nothing to do with the people's riots.
As if getting rid of a difficult burden, Lord Qiu is now eager to throw Fang Tongzhi out of Nanyuan County, so that he can solve the matter of Guiyang Mansion and reappear.
Fang Wei's heart fell to the bottom, even though he exaggerated the situation in Guiyang Mansion a lot, but Lord Qiu's attitude was still chilling.
As for this new champion? Fang Tongzhi glanced at it, and his eyes were surrounded by a condensed ruthlessness.
The saint doesn't trust him anymore, rather than letting all the credit be embezzled by Mei Changqing, it's better to just do nothing!
Fang Tongzhi felt resentment in his heart, but he didn't dare to really express his dissatisfaction, after all, there are some things, everyone knows Du Ming, if they are investigated, no one will be able to get half of the benefits.
I knew it earlier, so I wouldn't have let his stupid nephew kill his predecessor in Nanyuan County.
It's too late to say anything now, Fang Tongzhi glanced at Mei Changqing, and then suggested to Lord Qiu: "My lord, the riot in Guiyang Mansion is also because of the fake silver, if you don't care?" ”
Mei Changqing handed the hot buns to his little wife, and said to Bai Yiyan: "Yue'er, you take the buns and eat them first, so as not to lose your appetite." ”
was stuffed with two meat buns suddenly, Bai Yiyan didn't feel hungry at all, she also wanted to see how Mei Changqing convicted this younger brother.
However, Mei Changqing's gaze was too aggrieved, so Bai Yiqian had to compromise.
"Okay, then I'll wait for you in the inner room, you remember to get people out for a while, it will affect the harmonious atmosphere of our Chu family too much."
Bai Yiyan didn't have a good impression of Chu Junyan, if it wasn't for Chu Junyan in the first place, how could they be forced to stay in the Liang family? Although staying in the Liang family is a very enjoyable thing for them.
A perfidious person is not worthy of forgiveness.
Mei Changqing had a calm face, kicked on Chu Junyan's sitting body, and looked at this "brother" coldly.
Chu Junyan couldn't dodge, and was kicked on the leg socket by Mei Changqing, and in pain, he couldn't wait to hold his thighs and jump to his feet, screaming in pain.
"Mei Changqing! How dare you kick me! ”
Chu Junyan's voice was not very loud, the pain overcame his forbearance, and he suppressed his anger and reprimanded Mei Changqing's behavior.
Mei Changqing didn't feel that what he did was wrong, he wanted to do it a long time ago, if it wasn't for Chu Junyan being pressed in the prison and being released in recent days, he would have come to the door to beat people.
After slowing down for a while, he felt that his leg was not so thrown, Chu Junyan's eyes were scarlet, and he held the teapot tightly in his hand.
"What, you still want to do it to me?" Seeing through Chu Junyan's intentions, Mei Changqing only felt even more disdainful, "Ungrateful things, in order to survive, you don't even want a conscience?" ”
The tutor of the Cheng'en Mansion is about that.
Looking at Chu Junyan's unpromising appearance, he sneered, "Don't worry, I won't kill you, knowing the law and breaking the law, this official will not do it." ”
He is taking the route of a clean official, how can he let this kind of person dirty his hands?
"However, if you continue to let you go down, it will be very troublesome for the official, it is better to do this, since you came to Nanyuan County because of the official, it is better for the official to send you out."
Mei Changqing thought about it, no matter whether Chu Junyan had Lord Qiu as a backing or not, it was better for this kind of person to be sent out as soon as possible.
Chu Junyan still wants to be able to embark on an official career with this incident, how can he be sent out willingly? What's more, there was such a riot outside.
Almost a momentary thought, Chu Junyan felt that he was the truth.
"Mei Changqing, you are so vicious! Yes, you don't want to kill me personally, but you want to kill me by the hands of innocent people outside, so vicious! ”
Although the people who rioted were all damned in Chu Junyan's eyes, those people were still good compared to the demon Mei Changqing.
Unknowingly, Chu Junyan actually felt that Mei Changqing's face was hateful.
In this kind of matter, Mei Changqing is still relatively cautious, Bai Yiyan saw that Mei Changqing finally opened up, and then he was awkwardly ready to forgive him.
"Alright, you can eat quickly, there are still a lot of things waiting for you to solve in a while."
Thinking that Nanyuan County's short-term net operation will be gone forever, Bai Yiyan's mind is not very comfortable, although the mutual market has been open for a long time, if it is in previous years, the time of the mutual market can last for a while.
But there was a fake silver incident, and the merchant didn't break into the door at this time, which is already good, but it still depends on whether it is all messed up outside.
There is no doubt that the merchant has a lot of money, and at this time all the savings of the poor people have come to naught, and it is difficult to guarantee that nothing irretrievable will be done.
It is precisely because of this that merchants choose to stay in Nanyuan County.
After the news of Guiyang Mansion improves, these merchants will run away impatiently.
Mei Changqing was not idle for a quarter of an hour after eating, Fan Deyuan took Mrs. Fan and the three children, and after visiting the door, he exchanged Mei Changqing with his family.
In this hurry, Fan Xiancheng didn't even finish a word, and pulled Mei Changqing and ran outside.
Bai Yiyan was a little curious, pulled the youngest son of the Fan family, calmed the frightened face of the little guy, and asked Qiushui to take the three little ones down.
"Sister Fan, Lord Fan, what's going on? What are you going to do? ”
The world was chaotic, Mrs. Fan suppressed the suspicion in her heart, took a sip of hot tea, and then said slowly: "There was an accident in the cell, Fan Deyuan died, and Bai Ruyu ran away." ”
Their family also just received the news, and almost after receiving the news, they ran to the Yunju Mansion non-stop.
"I heard that the two young generals guarding the cell died and the other was seriously injured, and the condition of the two is very bad." When it happened, she was a little panicked.
Mrs. Fan saw that Lord Fan often rushed outside without thinking about it, and she was afraid in her heart, lest her husband would be helpless and would be guarded alone.
"One blow kills these people, but it also makes these people die peacefully." Dying without being tortured is also a blessing for the dead.
Lord Qiu watched Fan Tingshi go to look at the corpse in person, the whole puppet couldn't read well, and he didn't even dare to look at the face of the dead man, he just listened to what Fan Tingshi said.
"Since these people are dead, there is no need to escort the bodies of these people to the capital, just let people take straw mats and throw them into the mass grave."
Even if the weather was cool, but returning to the capital with the dead, Lord Qiu still resisted.
Fan Tingshi obviously didn't expect Master Qiu to say this, and when he was ready, he choked in his throat all of a sudden, and he couldn't say half a sentence.
Even if these puppets are dead, the case has not yet been concluded, these dead people should be parked in Yizhuang, and they will be thrown into a mass grave by their mother-in-law and daughter-in-law?
Is Lord Qiu joking?
Fan Assassin Shi made the three dead people side by side, Fan Wuliang was pierced in the chest, Xu Zhixian didn't know if it was because of resistance, there were two deep wounds on his hands, and his neck was cut off.
As for Xu Zhixian's daughter, Miss Xu, her luck is much better than that of Xu Zhixian, although her neck was wiped off, at least there were no other injuries.
This Miss Xu probably saw her father's death with her own eyes, otherwise why would she have stared at a pair of big eyes with a frightened expression on her face?
Or is it that the eldest lady of the Xu family has seen some terrifying person to be like this?
Fan Tingshi frowned, remembering the news he had inquired about in recent days, and looked at Mei Changqing.
"Lord Chu, I heard that you have some friendship with Miss Xu, I don't know, what do you think about Miss Xu's death?"
As soon as Fan Tingshi's words came out, everyone's eyes immediately turned to Mei Changqing, legend has it that the eldest lady of the Xu family has a mind of giving in to Lord Chu.
Mei Changqing looked at Fan Tingshi with a smile, how could he not know that after regaining his free body, he actually had the intention of suppressing him?
He couldn't understand what Fan Tingshi's mind was thinking, he didn't seem to have a grudge against this person, right?
"Fan Tingshi laughed, Xiaguan and the Xu family have no friendship, but Xiaguan knows that this eldest lady of the Xu family has a good net worth, and her survival instinct is also high."
A young lady who wants to fly on the branches all the time to be a master, the desire to survive is still very strong, and she is willing to die instead of seeking a glimmer of life, how is it possible?
Even when Yue'er came to see this person in the cell a few days ago, this person will insist that he can get out alive.
Fan Tingshi's impetuous heart was instantly calmed down by Mei Changqing's undisguised sarcastic laughter, and he saw that Fan Wuliang was dead, and he actually lost his normal heart?
How can it be? Didn't he wish Fan Wuliang died early? As long as Fan Wuliang is dead, their Fan family can seek a glimmer of life.
It's just that Fan Wuliang is still alive, and the vitality of their Fan family is gone, and now it's not the right time for Fan Wuliang to die, and their Fan family will have more crimes.
The suspicion that can't be cleared, even if it is him, should be avoided.
"It's because the official asked too much, the official forgot, the Xu family was still arrested by Lord Chu, if it weren't for Lord Chu's discernment, I would still be kept in the dark when I think of our Nanyuan County."
The praise that is not painful or itchy, Mei Changqing doesn't care about it at all.
"Since Fan Tingshi is very good at tracking down murder cases, how dare the lower officials blame Lord Fan's suspicions, it is better to leave this matter to Fan Tingshi to handle, Lord Qiu, what do you think?"
Lord Qiu, who couldn't wait for the wind under his feet and hurriedly left, glanced at Fan Tingshi, and said in a sloppy manner: "What Lord Chu said is right, Fan Tingshi is the Zhongzhou Assassin, and the investigation of the murder will be handed over to Lord Fan." ”
Anyway, the snobbery of the Fan family is still there, and even the young generals of His Royal Highness King Liang have been killed, I'm afraid that the thief's ability is even better.
He only brought so many people over, if he let these people investigate the case, he might lose people in Nanyuan County.
If these puppets die, who will protect his little life? Also, these people are dead, how can he explain to King Liang when he goes back?
The strong smell of blood, accompanied by the peculiar stench of the cell, Lord Qiu covered his mouth and nose, kicked the dead corpse on the ground, and left Gan Shupei behind.
Although the matter was handed over to Fan Tingshi, as the minister of the Holy Father's own order, it would not be good if he didn't do anything.
Judging from Cao Xi's death, it is obvious that this person he saw before his death was unprepared to be killed by a single blow.
Cao Xi, who did you see before you died? In Nanyuan County, this big girl only seems to have different thoughts about Mei Changqing. He heard that Mrs. Chu was particularly fond of silver.
Mei Changqing looked Fan Thorn up and down in history, and was amazed, how could he not have expected that this brain would be so surprised?
He had indeed forgotten his form.
Fan Tingshi secretly warned himself in his heart that the Fan family had been ruined this time, and the foundation behind him was falling apart, if he offended Mei Changqing at this time, I am afraid that he would not even have a way in the future.
As the saying goes, don't bully young people to be poor, not to mention, Mei Changqing is not a poor person,
Sending the three corpses to Yizhuang, Fan Tingshi directly asked Ying to track down the assassins, and even made a package ticket in front of Lord Qiu.
Fan Deyuan also wanted to follow this cousin out to find a way to make a living for his family at this moment, but was dragged by Mei Changqing, "Fan County Cheng doesn't have to go, there are still many things waiting for you to deal with in Nanyuan County." ”
Although a few days ago, they had already let people understand the path in the Xu family's secret passage, and even said that the silver inside had been looted, they still had some bad premonitions in their hearts.
"This official has discovered another official silver smelting cave, which is even broader than the previous one, so let's take Lord Qiu to find official silver."
According to the previous few days, Mei Changqing didn't dare to take the two out of the secret passage, really, he was afraid that if the assassins also knew about this secret passage, they would become turtles in the urn, and no one would know if they died, which would be bad.
When Fan Deyuan heard Mei Changqing say this, his whole heart sank.
"Lord Chu, aren't you really talking about it?" Why wait until now to say something so important?
As a small county magistrate, he has been in this position for more than ten years and has not been willing to move his nest, although he is a young talent, he has also achieved a state that may not be good when he is young.
Now that he was smashed by such an important news as Mei Changqing, he almost couldn't react.
Why are there caves where silver is smelted? There are one and there are two, could it be that their Nanyuan County is really a large-scale fraudulent territory?
Although he is not the county governor of Nanyuan County, looking at the county magistrate of Nanyuan County who followed him and did not dare to say a word, Fan Deyuan couldn't stop sighing.
It's all the same year, why is the gap so big?
Or is it that the champion of the new department and the minutiae of the jinshi are not the same at all?
Fan Deyuan straightened his clothes, and by the way, he also supported Lord Qiu, who was usually almost sliding down the uphill road, "My lord, you pay attention to your step, the mountain road is difficult to walk, you insist on it." ”
The road into the mountain is not what the people of Nanyuan County are accustomed to, but it is like a mountain that has never been developed.
Mei Changqing prepared a lot of rations, walked for most of the day, ate a meatloaf, and poured a small half pot of hot water, only then did he feel that the real puppet reading came to life.
Lord Qiu and Fan Deyuan watched as Mei Changqing only cared about eating and drinking, and was dizzy with hunger.
Lord Qiu held a broken wooden stick in his hand, supporting his body with difficulty, "Lord Chu, can you give some food to Lord Ben?" ”
Smelling the aroma of the meatloaf, Lord Qiu only felt that his stomach was screaming even more.
Mei Changqing didn't care, looked at the few behind Lord Qiu, and coldly rejected Lord Qiu's suggestion, which was very unfriendly to him.
"The food is made by my lady for the lower officials, my lady has not touched the spring water since she was a child, and the food she makes is not very delicious, so I don't embarrass Lord Qiu."
"Don't be embarrassed, not embarrassed." Why can't Lord Qiu hear Mei Changqing's refusal? But he didn't care, it would be nice to have a stutter now.
It's a pity that Mei Changqing seems to have learned the Bai family's facelessness and skinlessness, so he tied the package to his body, kept his feet, and set off directly.
"Lord Qiu, let's hurry up, after this mountain, there will be food to sell, and when the time comes, Lord Qiu can eat whatever he wants."
In fact, the fireworks in this have been well handled, just by looking at the chimney sticking out of the rock.
This chimney does not go straight up, but gently extends along the ground, such an ingenious idea, which is beyond the imagination of ordinary people.
As far as he knew, this cave was probably controlled by Cao Xi, otherwise she would not have been wiped out.
This place, before they came, had become a mess, and the craftsmen who had made the silver, though they had taken them away, had not destroyed it in the slightest.
Now that the cave has been destroyed beyond recognition, I wonder who did it.
"Lord Qiu, at this time, it's not to investigate how the lower officials found out here, now what matters is that we want to catch that bold criminal!"
As far as the eye can see, there are not mountains and forests all over the mountains, or vines and thorns stretching out under your feet, and trying to find someone is tantamount to looking for a needle in a haystack.
Although Qiu Da is angry, he is still very weak when facing reality.
"Master Chu, what can you do? Guiyang Mansion is so big, there are talented people, you are the only one left, you tell the official, what should the official do? ”
Lord Qiu didn't want to fight for merit, and he didn't want to take a stand in front of Mei Changqing, he just wanted to solve the matter quickly and leave this unlucky place quickly.
Although he knew that this person was talentless, but if he didn't have the talent to get to this point, Mei Changqing was not very happy, with a stiff face, and didn't say a word.
Fan Tingshi has already gone to arrest people, and in this case, everyone knows that it is impossible for Fan Tingshi to succeed.
And Fang Tongzhi, who was far away in Guiyang Mansion, finally returned to Guiyang Mansion, only to feel that his little life was going to be gone, and it was already very good to be able to come back with all his beards and tails.
Tongzhi's mansion has been blocked by the merchants who have gathered, and the servants of the Fang family have not dared to go out to buy vegetables in the past few days when Fang Tongzhi has been out.
Mrs. Fang was in a hurry at home, and finally saw Fang Tongzhi who slipped back from the back door, and collapsed directly.
"Master, master, what do you say? Our house is blocked! ”
Mrs. Fang held a small handkerchief and kept wiping her tears, and her face was a little haggard because of fear, only Fang Tongzhi's crying heart was irritable.
Only Fang Tong knew that the other party's wife was not so cold-blooded, so Haosheng comforted Mrs. Fang and opened the door to welcome the guests.
As long as he is still a fellow acquaintance of Guiyang Mansion for one day, these merchants will not dare to do anything to him, who will let them be strictly controlled in Guiyang Mansion? If it is said that the silver is fake, it is not just a scattered loss.
Merchants want an attitude!
Fang Tongzhi Haosheng invited the businessmen who were surrounded at the door of his house to pay through the payment, and no one gave him a good cup of tea, so he slowly said his words.
"Don't worry about this, Lord Qiu, the minister of the Imperial Mission, doesn't want to meddle in the affairs of our Guiyang Mansion, everyone these days, just sweep the tail, so as not to delay the time."
"Lord Fang, is your news still reliable?" The one who spoke was a white-bearded old man who made jewelry, whose family name was Yan.
Suspected by an old man, Fang Tongzhi's face didn't even change, and nodded, "When this official came back from Nanyuan County, he happened to hear that many people had died in the Nanyuan County prison. ”
Riots and murders, no matter which one they are, are enough to kill an official. And the dead ones are still important criminals who are still escorted to the capital.
When it comes to official fraud, these people, even if they die, they have to leave a breath for the emperor to make a decision and trial, but on the contrary, the important ones are dead, and they are still very simple.
If the mastermind of the official silver fraud is found, these will die if they die, but unfortunately, Lord Qiu doesn't seem to have that ability.
How could someone who was already too busy to take care of himself turn his attention to their Guiyang Mansion? Anyway, there is only a riot in the people's livelihood here, isn't it not chaotic yet?
"Everyone has been calculating for so many years, and they have also reaped a lot of benefits from Governor Yang's hands, these days, everyone is honest, as long as you wait for Lord Qincha to leave, Guiyang Mansion is still our world!"
Although these words are arrogant, they change the facts, Guiyang Mansion is a barbarian and poor place, and the saints can't remember their poor and remote land.
The merchants have reached a consensus, and this can also stabilize Guiyang Mansion, as for Nanyuan County, who cares?
For this reason, Lord Qiu almost turned his hair white, and Yizhuang's corpse nakedly mocked his incompetence.
After careful consideration, Lord Qiu wrote a letter of help to the capital under the watchful eyes of the advisor Gan Shupei, not only to the saint, but also to the king of Liang very solemnly.
Lord Qiu was almost choked to death by Mei Changqing's words, his face was like constipation, how could he forget about this stubble, King Liang sent troops to follow him to Nanyuan County, what to say to protect him, it was simply to protect Mei Changqing!
Thinking of this, Lord Qiu was very angry, but he didn't dare to attack.
Now the thieves in Nanyuan County are no longer under the control of him, Lord Qincha.
"Since Lord Chu has a clear conscience, the affairs of Nanyuan County, please let Lord Chu bother more, the old arms and legs of this official are really unbearable."
Saying that, Master Qiu also knocked on his leg and directly asked Gan Shupei to help him go to Kazakhstan.
General Zhao Xiao glanced at Mei Changqing and followed, leaving Mei Changqing alone, looking at the small note in his hand.
Legend has it that Lord Cao, the governor of Zhongzhou, is also a capable man with lofty ideals, and since he stepped into the officialdom, he has begun to seek the well-being of the people, and has never done things for the people.
And Lord Cao's personality is also very frugal, Lord Cao, not only lives frugally, but also his family, and he is also simple.
This good official who has won the hearts of the people and stabilized the situation in Zhongzhou is already a sure thing, but if Lord Cao is so incorruptible, who is the killer in the cell?
This question is a bit brain-burning, even if Mei Changqing told Bai Yiyan about the details in the cell, Bai Yiyan couldn't think of it.
The only thing she could think about was the terrible situation in the cell.
"If you keep guessing, maybe you'll be able to guess with a few more people."
Originally, it was an irrelevant thing to talk about some official affairs at the dinner table, and everyone could listen to and participate in the opinions, but it would be too unappetizing to talk about such a bloody thing.
It's already autumn, and the evening is still very cool, Bai Yiyan put on a thin shirt and watched Mei Changqing eat.
"When I asked Cao Xi, she didn't tell the truth, her mouth was like a clam shell, and she firmly believed that the adults above could save her from fire and water."
