Chapter 22 Borrowing the Dead to Resurrect the Soul XXII
Zhan Xiaoxiao actually didn't hear Qin Tai's question, she was immersed in her own fantasy at the time, and didn't notice Qin Tai's impatient questioning. The "old drunkard" master heard Qin Tai's question, and knew that Qin Tai was already waiting for Zhan Xiaoxiao to answer his question.
The "old drunkard" master was worried that Qin Tai had opinions on Zhan Xiaoxiao, and secondly, he also wanted to know the relationship between Zhan Xiaoxiao and Hu Zongxian, so he slapped the table and said vigorously: "Our Zhan hero, did you hear what the adults are asking you?" How did you meet Governor Hu Zongxian? Why did he give you this token? ”
Zhan Xiaoxiao was suddenly awakened by the sound of a slap on the table. She just wanted to scold this person, why did she disturb her dreams at this time, when she saw the hint of the "old drunkard" master to herself. Zhan Xiaoxiao was not stupid, and immediately saw Qin Tai, who had been staring at him. Knowing that he was distracted, he almost had a "foreign appearance" in front of Qin Tai. The words of the "old drunkard" master, most of Zhan Xiaoxiao heard them, so they knew what Qin Tai meant by looking at him like this.
Zhan Xiaoxiao hurriedly told him how he met Li Ding and how he saw Hu Zongxian. I definitely don't dare to add oil and vinegar, and I don't dare to hide anything.
As soon as Qin Tai and the "old drunkard" master heard that Hu Zongxian had received a report from a subordinate, they hurriedly gave Zhan Xiaoxiao a portable token, and when Zhan Xiaoxiao rushed to meet him, they couldn't help frowning. It seems that this case has little to do with Hu Zongxian, and Hu Zongxian is not the mastermind behind the scenes. Hu Zongxian sent Zhan Xiaoxiao over in such a hurry, and gave Zhan Xiaoxiao his waist card, which shows that Hu Zongxian was just worried about Zhang Jing's personal safety. Of course, Hu Zongxian knew the details of Zhang Jing and knew the difference between the death of a eunuch and the death of an official. The death of an official is just a local matter, and the Ministry of Officials will register a number, and the Criminal Department will send someone to investigate. But if it is a eunuch who dies, it will involve **, the emperor, and the royal family. Besides, Zhang Jing is a eunuch sent by the emperor to Nanjing to supervise military affairs. Admirals and eunuchs not only had the right to manage their own armies, but also had the power to supervise other local armies. When Hu Zongxian was the commander-in-chief of the former enemy, the governor and eunuch of Nanjing were about to return to Beijing. In order to show his belief in Hu Zongxian, Emperor Jiajing did not immediately send a new admiral eunuch to monitor Hu Zongxian. At this time, Emperor Jiajing sent Zhang Jing to Nanjing, not only to stabilize the military here in Nanjing, but also to supervise Hu Zongxian. It can be seen that Emperor Jiajing and the bigwigs in the court are becoming more and more worried, and Hu Zongxian is alone in Jiangnan. At this time, if something happened to Zhang Jing, the most likely thing was that Hu Zongxian secretly masterminded and killed Zhang Jing who came to supervise him. In this way, Hu Zongxian is even more unbearable in the eyes of Emperor Jiajing, and other bigwigs in the court will also feel that Hu Zongxian is domineering and overwhelmed. In this case, there is only one result, Hu Zongxian and the existing senior officials in Jiangnan will have to change. Hu Zongxian's dream of being the "King of Jiangnan" will be shattered immediately, so Hu Zongxian really hopes that Zhang Jing will not be in any danger.
Giving Zhan Xiaoxiao a token, not only did Hu Zongxian give Zhan Xiaoxiao the greatest permission, but also Hu Zongxian wanted to show favor to Qin Tai, hoping that Qin Tai would not have trouble with him. Hu Zongxian used to use Qin Tai and wanted to kill Qin Tai, but now Hu Zongxian not only doesn't want Qin Tai and Zhang Jing to have any mistakes, but will do his best to protect their safety. Hu Zongxian, who had just assumed the post of governor of Jiangnan, was the last reluctant to see the turbulence of the situation at this time. For the sake of his own interests, Hu Zongxian hoped that everyone would be in the same boat, stabilize Jiangnan under his own leadership, and deal with the Japanese who came to harm the locality. A few years later, when Hu Zongxian's position was stabilized, it would not be easy for the imperial court to seize Hu Zongxian's military power and political power, and it was time for Hu Zongxian to deal with Qin Tai and Zhang Jing. At that time, Qin Tai and his group, as well as Zhang Jing, will definitely be tortured by Hu Zongxian very miserably.
As long as you look at Hu Zongxian's file, you can know what kind of person Hu Zongxian is. Hu Zongxian is a native of Anhui Province and is from a middle-class family. At the age of twenty-eight, he was promoted to the Jinshi, and at the age of twenty-nine, he was appointed as an alternate magistrate. At the age of thirty-two, he served as the governor of Zhejiang, that is, the imperial history of the Zhejiang Provincial Inspector. It is under the direct jurisdiction of the Central Metropolitan Procuratorate and supervises the conduct and discipline of officials in Zhejiang Province. The term of office is one year, after which he is either transferred to another place or takes up other posts locally. In this year, Hu Zongxian tripped over three cadres at the prefect level equivalent to the current department level, six cadres at the same level equivalent to the modern deputy department level, and more than 20 cadres at the county level equivalent to the current department level. There are countless other small cadres, and I don't know how many there are. Hu Zongxian has been the sum of the previous Zhejiang governors for more than ten years in a year, which shows that this person has a little ability, but he has more enemies. Just when everyone thought that Hu Zongxian would be tortured to death by local officials after leaving office, Hu Zongxian made another shocking accusation that the governor of Zhejiang at that time had embezzled and accepted bribes. Soon after, the governor of Zhejiang, who was in the third rank of the imperial court, was escorted to Beijing. When the governor of Zhejiang was arrested, and the governor's throne was left, and no one was red, the imperial court actually ordered Hu Zongxian to take this position. The Zhejiang Governor, who was originally only the seventh grade, became the Zhejiang Governor of the third grade. Although there is only one word difference between "patrol" and "governor", the difference in the rights of the two people is so great that it can be said that there is a world of difference. The inspector is nothing more than an official who supervises the magistrate, which is equivalent to a cadre of the current Commission for Discipline Inspection. The governor is in charge of the important military and political affairs of a province, which is equivalent to the current ********, the provincial governor, and the commander of the provincial military commission. The governor has the rights of local government affairs, military affairs, people's livelihood, finance, personnel transfer, appointment and dismissal of officials, etc., and belongs to a feudal official of "Tiangao Emperor Yuan". To put it mildly, if it weren't for the eunuchs guarding the town, the admiral general who was responsible for leading the troops, and the supervising imperial history who supervised the place, the governor would be a "soil emperor". Even the political envoy in charge of the finance of a province, the procurator in charge of public security in a province, and so on, must obey the orders of the governor. Hu Zongxian, who served as the governor of Zhejiang, grasped discipline with one hand and personnel with the other, and firmly grasped all the resources of a province in his own hands. Later, he was transferred to the governor of Jiangsu, and constantly made enemies and excluded dissidents. Everyone knows that Hu Zongxian was originally a member of the Metropolitan Procuratorate, that is, "Qingliu", and "Qingliu" was the sphere of influence of the second assistant Xu Jie. Later, Hu Zongxian was able to become the governor of Zhejiang because he took refuge in Yan Song, the number one boss in the DPRK. Under the escort of Yan Song, Hu Zongxian sat firmly as the governor of Zhejiang, became the governor of Jiangsu, and then transferred to the governor of Zhejiang and Fujian, and finally became the governor of Liangjiang. When Hu Zongxian became the governor of Liangjiang, Hu Zongxian felt that he had the capital to "stand on his own", and began to listen to Yan Song's orders in everything, not only cultivating his own forces. Two years ago, Hu Zongxian suddenly had a strange idea to become the governor of the south. Jin can accumulate capital for himself to become an important cabinet member in the future, and he can ensure that he is partial to Jiangnan. As long as you have soldiers and territory in your hands, even if the court wants to deal with you, it is not so easy. In a word, Hu Zongxian is a ruthless person who will do anything for his own interests. In order to be promoted, he can turn his back on his principles and betray his party. For the sake of their own interests, they can forget Yan Song, who is kind to him and hopes to train himself to become an important member of their party. really responded to some comments of Hu Zongxian in the DPRK, Hu Zongxian is a "master who has milk is his mother." "Ernai Zhongshan wolf is also. ”
Although Qin Tai is not affiliated with any political party, he has nothing to do with Hu Zongxian. But Qin Tai has already recognized Hu Zongxian's personality and knows what kind of person Hu Zongxian is. The "old drunkard" master is even more commonplace, and he has long lost all trust in this kind of person. The master of the "old drunkard" said a sentence as early as when Qin Tai saw through Li Ding and Qin Tai drove Li Ding back to Hu Zongxian: "The son is a mountain wolf, and his ambition is rampant." He also said that the imperial court made Hu Zongxian the governor of Jiangnan and the commander-in-chief of the former enemy who resisted the Japanese, but he was actually digging his own grave. In the future, it will either be Hu Zongxian's ineffective command, which will lead to the increasingly rampant Japanese pirates, or in the future, Hu Zongxian will divide the river and rule, establish his own territory and the central court to resist the court.
Qin Tai shook his head and said, "Don't worry about it." The thing to study now is that Zhang Jing is dead. But I checked and found no cause of death, and no murder weapon was found. Although it was said that he killed and was murdered, but there is no murder weapon, I don't know how to determine the cause of death, how to find clues? ”
Zhan Xiaoxiao listened to Qin Tai's story, and at the same time read the autopsy report. This autopsy report was transcribed by Qin Tai, not the "ghost drawing" of the graffiti of "Ma Sandao". Zhan Xiaoxiao looked very carefully, Zhan Xiaoxiao has been Qin Tai's post-mortem assistant for most of the past six months, and he has learned a little bit of the ability to investigate corpses. Zhan Xiaoxiao also hopes to help Qin Tai and solve the case as soon as possible.
After reading all the reports, Zhan Xiaoxiao said to Qin Tai, "My lord, it seems that we only have to undergo an autopsy again. This time we're going to check a little more closely, hoping to find out the truth. ”
Qin Tai's eyes shrank, and he couldn't help but say, "You mean a thorough inspection?" Will it be ----"
Zhan Xiaoxiao said firmly: "My lord, it's too late now. Besides, we have the first post-mortem report in our hands, as well as the token of Governor Hu Zongxian. We can just do what we want. ”
Qin Tai also glanced at Zhan Xiaoxiao firmly and said, "Okay, prepare for the second autopsy." ”
At this time, the "old drunkard" master on the side suddenly picked up the belt that no one could understand what it was, and said to Zhan Xiaoxin: "Zhan Daxia, do you know what this is?" ”
Zhan Xiaoxiao looked back at the belt, did not answer immediately, and carefully observed the belt. Touched back and forth, then turned over and over, looked over and over again.
Zhan Xiaoxiao said to everyone: "This is a belt. A belt for the Japanese people. ”
