Chapter 111: The Responsibility of the Staff
When Li Caosi heard Mr. Qin's three words, he suddenly jumped up, and hurriedly ordered: "Please!" Please! ”
Mrs. Yan held a piece of silk in her hand, and looked at her husband, who ran out without putting on his shoes, and stayed for a long time before she came to her senses.
Something big must have happened.
Li Caosi hurried to the flower hall, and Mr. Qin had already asked someone to bring a basin of hot water over, and was bending over to wash his face. Li Caosi looked at the sweat stains on Mr. Qin's back, and his heart couldn't help but sink again.
Mr. Qin took a hot water wash and breathed a long sigh of relief, Li Caosi looked at his sweaty back and wet placket, and ordered repeatedly: "Let someone prepare hot water, take a set of my clothes, and wait for Mr. to bathe ......."
"Just get a set of clothes." Mr. Qin interrupted Li Caosi's instructions, "Caosi, let's go to the study and talk." ”
Li Caosi's face tightened, and he hurriedly stood up, and while motioning for Mr. Qin to go out, he instructed the little servant, "Send the clothes to the small study." ”
Li Caosi and Mr. Qin went into the small study room, and the clothes were delivered, Mr. Qin changed his clothes and came out, and the little maid had already put a few snacks and soup on the table, and withdrew with his hands down.
Mr. Qin sat down, poured a bowl of soup and drank it first, ate a few soup dumplings in a row, and drank another bowl of soup, breathing a sigh of relief, "Cao Si forgive me, I was in a hurry on the road, and I didn't eat lunch," Seeing that Li Cao Si was about to raise his voice to give an order, he hurriedly raised his hand to stop him, "Don't be in a hurry, these snacks are very good, this soup dumpling is enough, let's talk first." ”
When Li Caosi saw Mr. Qin say this, he didn't let it go.
Mr. Qin ate a few more soup dumplings, and then drank half a bowl of soup before he spoke: "Mr. Yao Qianyao, who was next to Lin Mingsheng and Lin Xiansi, suddenly fell ill and died in the middle of the night last night. ”
Li Caosi's eyes widened, and he suddenly died!
"Originally, I didn't plan to run this trip, there are some things, I want to wait for the year to go outside the year, and I will see Cao Si and say, today's Hangzhou City is not very peaceful.
Unexpectedly, Yao Qian died suddenly, and when I heard this letter in the morning, I ...... Alas, Mr. Yao...... I knew him when I was in the capital, I really didn't expect it, I thought about it, I had to come over quickly, this thing, I'm afraid it's not small. ”
Mr. Qin's expression was gloomy.
Li Caosi looked at him, sighed softly, and waited for him to continue.
Mr. Qin was sad for a while, and then said: "Let me start from the beginning, four days ago, it was said that the murderer would be arrested across the county, and Hengshan County submitted a murder case to the Hangzhou Mansion.
Zhao Zheng's daughter-in-law Zhao Hongqing in Xikou Town, Hengshan County, outside Xikou Town, Zhao Hongqing's stepmother Zhao Mengshi said that it was Zhao Hongqing's eldest sister Hu Zhao and her husband Hu Da who killed Zheng Zhao, and Hu Da and his younger brother Hu Mingde said that Hu Zhao and Zhao Zheng quarreled and killed Zhao Zheng by mistake.
The Hangzhou government tried very quickly, and sentenced Hu Zhao to be executed, Hu Da and Hu Mingde were assigned ten years of hard labor in the silver mine, and Zhao Mengshi was sold into slavery. ”
"What's the secret in this case?" Li Caosi blurted out that Hu Da and Hu Mingde had been working hard in the silver mine for ten years, which was obviously too heavy.
"Not only that, but all the people in this case, without waiting for the autumn queen, will be tried together with the Xian Si Yamen and the Shuai Si Yamen for a case of immorality causing death, and the next day after the trial, the execution has already been carried out."
Mr. Qin looked at Li Caosi, and continued, Li Caosi's eyes widened.
"Wu Youguang, the county lieutenant of Hengshan County, Cao Si knows his background, saying that it is to verify corruption and illegality, and he went to Hengshan County yesterday, and he has already withdrawn from the errand, I heard that Wu Youguang packed up his things and prepared to move his family to the capital."
Mr. Qin looked at Li Caosi, who frowned tightly, his eyes were a little straight, and then said: "The day after the trial of these two cases was concluded, the day before Wu Youguang left, the third master was sick, and I asked the doctor, saying that he was too frightened and lost his mind. ”
"These two cases, one and two, two and one?" Li Caosi's reaction was quick and accurate.
Mr. Qin looked at Li Caosi, and continued: "Early yesterday morning, the fifth master handed over the Wutong to me, saying that the Wutong could not be kept any longer, let me keep him alive, and sell him as far away as possible."
I interrogated Wutong a few words, Wutong said, a man named Lian Gui found him, gave him fifty taels of silver, and asked him to steal a form from the county government, and behind the form, the name of Zhao Hongqing fell, and he stole it out, just the day before the female corpse was found in Xikou Town, the next day, he handed the form to Lian Gui. ”
"This is a game to trap the third child?" After all, Li Caosi has been in the officialdom for decades, and when he heard this, he already understood everything.
"Hmm." Mr. Qin snorted, bowed slightly, and lowered his voice: "The case of the female corpse in Xikou Town was tried by Senator Zhu and Senate Shan, and Senator Sheng missed a few words with me, saying that the reason why the brothers of the Hu family strangled Zhao Zheng's was because Zhao Zheng's refusal to let her husband Zhao Hongqing go to Hengshan County Ya to hand over a complaint of obscenity. ”
"There are a few more details, Cao Si will refer to them in detail." Mr. Qin leaned back in his chair, "In that case of death due to immorality, four places were copied to take people, Ning'an Temple in Shanyin County, Xikou Town in Hengshan County, Qiaodong Town and Sanyang Town in Yanguan County. The place where Xikou Town was copied and inspected is the place where the body was dumped. ”
"How was this case of immorality decided? Already executed? ”
"Well, the execution was carried out on the same day, and the five main offenders and more than a dozen accomplices were all executed."
Li Caosi took a breath when he heard this, these two cases were sentenced too severely!
"There is also a strange thing," Mr. Qin's eyes narrowed slightly, and his upper body leaned towards Li Caosi, "The place of execution, in the deputy envoy of Guan, among the executioners, there was a man named Huang Wen, who was born in a family of executioners in Hangzhou Mansion, he doesn't do such work as wielding a knife and killing heads, what he is good at is work like cutting and skinning." ”
Li Cao's driver Lingling shuddered and looked straight at Mr. Qin.
Mr. Qin leaned back in his chair, with the same fear in his eyes, looked at Li Caosi, for a while, and said with a wry smile: "In this case, someone was taken at night, the trial was completed in the morning, and the execution was carried out in the afternoon.
The Xian Si Yamen and the Shuai Si Yamen are very few people who know, and the Shuai Si Yamen is in charge of Senator Yao, and Senator Flash said that he and Senator Zhu are ignorant. ”
"Who is it? Want to get the third child into such a case? After a while, Li Caosi asked in a low voice in a hoarse voice.
"Who else, Yao Qian is dead." Mr. Qin replied even lower.
"I also thought about it, except for Lin Mingsheng, there is no one else, Yao Qian's death? What do you think? Li Caosi reached out and poured half a bowl of soup, raised his head and drank it.
"It's not like Mingtao Villa." After a moment of silence, Mr. Qin looked at Li Caosi, "These two cases, Fifth Brother and Guo Sheng, should both know the inside story, Yao Qian's death, I always feel that it is more like Fifth Brother...... out of the hand. ”
