Chapter 18: Breaking the game
Qin Tai felt an inexplicable excitement in his heart, this was something that had never happened before. I don't know why, Qin Tai always felt that something was wrong, but he couldn't say anything.
He had encountered many thorny problems and dangers before, and even at the slightest moment, Qin Tai could command the overall situation calmly. But now? Qin Tai found that his heart couldn't be calm, not only could he not be calm, but he also had a little more concern.
Qin Tai tried not to think about the irritability in his heart, but his heart couldn't deceive himself, and the troubles were not only there, but also getting heavier and heavier. Qin Tai kept reminding himself to be calm and learn to restrain his emotions. I remember when he was a child, he went to see his uncle Qiu Min, who was no longer able to practice medicine at that time, and went to the yamen to be a servant who no one looked down on. At that time, because Qin Tai was still young, he and Xiao Lingzi, who had just been taken in, grabbed each other's hands and came to the coroner's room, which they felt was eerie. When they saw Uncle Qiu Min who was working, they were a little relieved. Uncle Qiu Min was also not very accustomed to the environment in the autopsy room, and when he saw his precious nephew coming, he pulled Qin Tai out of the coroner's room. Qin Tai remembered very clearly that at that time, he asked his uncle Qiu Min, wasn't he afraid of working in the autopsy room? The enemy said, "Your grandfather said a word when he was alive. Why is the heart afraid? It's because you have time to think. As long as you are preoccupied with something, your heart has no time to be afraid. It's the same as treating people at the beginning, and it's the same now. Qin Tai kept this conversation firmly in his heart.
Qin Tai dismounted and stood under a tree on the mountain. He took a deep breath and completely relaxed himself. Don't think about anything, don't think about anything, and let your heart fly. Only by letting go of oneself can we know what is in our hearts. Only when you untie the knots in your heart can you devote yourself wholeheartedly to your work.
As soon as Qin Tai relaxed himself, too many people and things appeared in his mind. It turned out that Qin Tai had suppressed too many emotions, and there were too many things and characters in her heart that couldn't be dispersed for a long time. The first is his old friend Zhang Juzheng, Zhang Juzheng is his boss and his personal friend. But Qin Tai always felt that Zhang Juzheng's fame and fortune were too heavy and he couldn't let go of himself. After joining Xu Jie's party, he became a tool for Xu Jie's party to deal with Yan Song's party. According to Qin Tai's meaning, if Zhang Juzheng can really use his wisdom and talents to do practical things, at least he can benefit the people.
As soon as Zhang Juzheng's picture left, a beautiful woman appeared, and the woman's appearance suddenly appeared. Who is she? But the answer came immediately, and the woman was arrested by two men, and not only was she humiliated, but she was also put in a donkey's skin. It turned out to be her, a girl from Satsuki Village. Who caused the tragedy of her life? Is it a killer? But on whose orders did the killer do this? Who is the girl's real enemy? The killer is dead, the girl doesn't know, and all the clues are broken. Even if Qin Tai wanted to help the girl, there was nothing he could do. How big the power is in Daming East Factory, it is estimated that only their own people can understand a thing or two.
This is Father Wang, for his daughter who was fostered in his benefactor's family, killed his godson Wang Tianbao, who had been dependent on him for more than ten years. In the end, her daughter found out about Wang Tianbao on her wedding night and hanged herself in the new house. Father Wang has no relatives and no support, and he has to accept the punishment of the Ming law. Did he get it right?
This is Li Zheng who came to the town again, this person is very scheming, at least not as simple as it seems. He can be in the town for so many years, and he must have a certain relationship with Sima Ying of the Sima family. But when Qin Tai came to Zailai Town, Li Zheng stood on the opposite side of the Sima family as the Wang family. Qin Tai found that since Sima Ying was convicted, the Sima family's power in Zailai Town had not been completely recovered. Many of the territories that were originally Sima family's territory have no relationship with the Sima family since they were occupied by the Japanese invaders. After Li Zheng used the officers and soldiers to exterminate the Japanese invaders, he took over the territory as soon as possible. Several relatives close to him also began to grab land. It can be said that the situation of the Sima family and the Wang family in the town has changed dramatically. In order to prevent Li Zheng from becoming the second Sima Ying to monopolize the town, Qin Taicai proposed to let Li Zheng be the county magistrate here. This is also the only thing Qin Tai can do for coming to the town again. However, Li Zheng's son Xiao Wang is a kind and political child, and I hope that he will not be influenced by his father in the future. To this day, Qin Tai still wonders if Li Zheng is secretly colluding with the Japanese Kou. Li Zheng must have known about the existence of the Wako, but it is not known whether he deliberately confessed to the Wako to protect himself in order to protect himself. However, after this incident, even if Li Zheng had a relationship with the Japanese Invaders, he did not dare to have any contact with the Japanese Invaders.
This is Sima Ling, a girl who has changed her name to Wang Ling. This girl with a miserable background and some mysteries was once insulted by a group of widows. Sima Ling, who endured humiliation and stealing her life, did an unforgivable mistake, that is, she poisoned her stepmother and friend Fourth Lady, and also poisoned her little brother to death. Because she was pregnant, Sima Ling was nailed to death in a coffin by her biological father Sima Ying. If Sima Ling hadn't met the tomb robber Xue Liang, it is estimated that he would have become a real corpse long ago. It is also strange that Xue Liang, a habitual offender who was not very good at conduct, actually gave up robbing the tomb because of Sima Ling. Even more because in order to avenge Sima Ling, he went to assassinate the Japanese Kou. Sima Ling is even more powerful, not only taking the eldest child alone, but also continuing to secretly kill a lot of widows and rescue a lot of children. Is this Sima Ling really kind? Or do you want to use these children to avenge her in the future? At that time, when Qin Tai decided to let Sima Ling go and let her change her name to Wang Linghou to live in Shangwang Village, Sima Ling was not only grateful, but also had an urge to repay his kindness. If it weren't for Qin Tai's clear distinction between public and private, if it weren't for Qin Tai being a person who has a very wooden relationship with men and women, maybe something would really happen. Anyway, Sima Ling was willing to take the initiative to offer affection, and Qin Tai took it for granted even if he pushed it halfway. Looking back now, Qin Tai was afraid for a while, it turned out that this Sima Ling wanted to use his body to trap Qin Tai. No wonder Zhan Xiaoxiao looked at herself with a strange look when Wang Ling asked the children to call him godfather. Later, Zhan Xiaoxiao repeatedly used Wang Ling and the child to stimulate herself, if she really had anything with Wang Ling, she would have been annoyed and angry. Could it be that Zhan Xiaoxiao had already seen Sima Ling's intentions?
Xiao Lingzi was one of Qin Tai's earliest assistants, but Qin Tai always felt that Xiao Lingzi was a little strange. Xiao Lingzi is not hiding anything from himself, but has an instinct to control him that even he doesn't know. Qin Tai felt more and more that Xiao Lingzi was not like a Han Chinese, but like a hunter who often haunted the grasslands or forests. Xiao Lingzi was born to be a master of stalking and infiltrating, and his endurance is also incomparable to ordinary people. Qin Tai grew up with Xiao Lingzi since he was a child, and he had never seen Xiao Lingzi receive professional training in this area, this was Xiao Lingzi's instinct.
"Ma Sandao" looks like a rude man with a big grin on the surface, but in fact, he has a lot on his mind. Except for the matter of the Black Army, although he didn't say it on the surface, Qin Tai could feel that there must be something that "Ma Sandao" didn't say everything. Since everyone is already a brother in life and death together, "Ma Sandao" still doesn't want to say that there must be a big secret that is not known to outsiders. Qin Tai hopes that "Ma Sandao" can put down his burden and take the initiative to tell everyone. Everyone is a brother, a day is a brother, a lifetime is a brother, what is there to carry together.
The "old drunkard" master is the most mysterious, how many secrets he has. Nobody knows. Qin Tai had already vaguely guessed something, but he couldn't be completely sure yet. Jiajing's three-year lifter, Jiajing's ten-year jinshi, his "seat teacher" is the original cabinet chief assistant Yang Tinghe. With the thirteenth place in the national examination in the year of Dabi, there is only one reason why he is not an official and is not famous in the world, and that is because his teacher is Yang Tinghe. At that time, Yang Tinghe had not only been deposed by Emperor Jiajing as the first assistant of the cabinet, but also eliminated Yang Tinghe's influence in the court. The "old drunkard" master must have been unable to get an actual official position because of Yang Tinghe. A person who bears the brand of the former Shoufu disciple who is at odds with the current emperor will of course have a bad career in officialdom. It is also because of this that the "old drunkard" master made a small bookstore without a name in the prison of the Criminal Department. This talent, who has been buried for too long, finally played a big role in Qin Tai's hands. Qin Tai knows one thing, every time he can successfully solve the case, the "old drunkard" master plays a great role. Qin Tai hopes that the "old drunkard" master can open his heart as soon as possible and express all the depression and dissatisfaction in his heart.
Zhan Xiaoxiao, a person that Qin Tai doesn't want to mention the most, but misses the most. Originally, Qin Tai and Zhan Xiaoxiao were good brothers who lived and died together, and they were good friends who were closer than their biological brothers. But Qin Tai felt that he wanted to show his youth more and more during this time. When he sees Zhanxiao, he thinks about it, and when he doesn't see Zhanxiao, he thinks even more, and Zhanxiao's appearance is always in his mind. Whenever he recalled Zhanxiao's red face and angry look, Qin Tai couldn't forget it for a long time. Qin Tai is also worried about his thoughts, Zhan Xiaoxiao is a man, is he really in love with a man? Reason told himself that he was not only a normal man, but also a court official. I must not like a man, otherwise I will be sorry for myself, sorry for my parents who raised me, and sorry for the court. But Qin Tai just couldn't restrain himself from missing Zhan Xiaoxiao, and Qin Tai didn't want to be Zhan Xiaoxiao's friend and brother.
The problem has been found, and the key is to show the small. Qin Tai's irritability and uneasiness in his heart, he couldn't solve the case wholeheartedly, just for the sake of a small exhibition. If he doesn't solve Zhan's small problems, Qin Tai can't put himself into work with peace of mind. Qin Tai decided to use this opportunity to quickly cut through the mess and find a suitable reason to drive Zhan Xiaoxiao out of the team. Only if you don't see Zhan Xiaoxiao, can you make yourself completely dead. It's a little painful, but it's better than going on like this forever. In order to regain his sobriety, in order to continue to solve the case with peace of mind, he had to give up Zhan Xiaoxiao.
