Chapter 47: The Clue to the House
The riverside is born in spring, and the giant ship is light. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info
At the end of the unitary time, it is about 7 p.m. when converted to the world of the Overworld.
This season, it is almost dark. Wuzhou Yamen fast class catches the head Xing Ming, stands on the bow of the ship, looking at Jinling from afar.
Look at the distance, less than half an hour, the wharf of Jinling arrived, from the time of departure, this boat of people has been on the river for a day and a night, and the people are also tired.
The sound of the rushing water, constantly lapping on the side of the boat, made the boat constantly shake, and the spring breeze at night was not warm, but soaked in the cold.
"Head catcher, it's windy outside, why don't you go into the cabin. One of the officials shouted from inside.
Xing Zhutou answered, then lowered his head and entered the cabin, found a place, and sat down. He gathered his hands and sighed, and then took something out of his bosom.
This thing is the clue that Xing Zhutou brought out all the way from Qingfu Temple, a roster of monks in Qingfu Temple.
"Catcher, what is the mystery of this booklet? It is worth keeping it all the way?" Seeing Xing Zhutou take out the roster, a servant beside him asked.
He also held back his doubts for a long time, and finally couldn't help it anymore.
When the official asked, several of the remaining officials also shouted: "Yes, head catcher, what clues are there in this roster?"
"Isn't that simple? Xing Zhutou stroked the roster and smiled mysteriously.
"Let me ask you, how many corpses did we find in the Qingfu Temple that day?" Xing Zhutou asked.
"We all know that, 112 corpses. One of the officials replied.
"However, from this roster, I found that there should be 113 people in Kiyofukuji Temple. Xing Zhutou said proudly: "And it is very coincidental that this 113th person left the temple the day before the murder. ”
"What such a coincidence, why did you leave the temple that day?" asked a servant beside him, puzzled.
"It's really a coincidence, and there is a special note in this roster that the other party is still a layman and has a detailed place of origin. Xing Zhutou flipped through the roster and said: "This person should not be a murderer, but he must be an important source of clues." ”
"It's really a god, a few of us have been checking in Yunshui Hall for a long time, but I didn't expect to really find out the clues. A servant patted his ass: "I am also experienced in head-hunting, and I hope to solve the case now." ”
At this time, everyone praised one after another, making Xing Zhutou almost float. "Everyone praised it too early, although the place of origin of the person who left the temple was written in this roster, but whether he changed his address after naturalization, and where he lives now, there is also a search. ”
After listening to Xing Zhutou's words, all the officials couldn't help nodding: "This is an empirical matter, our three-class government service system is not the same as the sixth room, and this household registration check is really not a simple matter." ”
"That's right, but this big case, Zhizhou is angry, and it is expected that the household will not dare to stop it. Xing Zhutou said with a frown.
In the Daxin world, the county and state yamen have established two major systems: three classes and six rooms.
The third class refers to the soap, strong, and fast three classes, all of which are servants. The soap squad is in charge of the internal service, and the fast shift and the strong squad are responsible for arrest and security respectively.
As for the six rooms, it is another system in addition to the three classes, which refers to the officials, households, rites, soldiers, criminals, and workshops. The six rooms correspond to the six central departments, and their leaders are called scribes or undertakers, and their identities are opposite to the officials, and they also compete for power with each other.
Among the six houses, the household is in charge of land, household registration, taxation, finance, etc. In the letter, everyone should issue a household register, and register the household type (household, artisan household, etc.), place of origin, place of residence, name and other information, which is quite complete.
This household post is not simple, and on the basis of it, there is also the establishment of a yellow book, in addition to recording the household post items, and listing the rules of the tax and grain section of the conscription.
In order to embezzle and enrich themselves at all levels, the local government concealed their household registration in many ways and falsely registered their surnames. The household officials also have their own private books in their hands, and the governors of the prefectures and counties are not allowed to intervene.
To ask for a person's place of origin information from this house, you can imagine how difficult it is.
"Let's take a step at a time, everyone is tired in the past two days, go home tonight and rest, tomorrow I will report to Zhizhou, I must find out the 113th person." ”
After saying this, there was nothing to say in the cabin for a while, and after a while, the prosperous Jinling arrived.
On the wharf, the lights are bright, and the passenger ships and cargo ships come and go. There are also a few painting boats that come out of the river in the city, and the sound of silk and bamboo comes out of them, making the evening breeze drunk.
When the boat docked, Xing Zhutou took several officials and came down one by one. No one noticed, there was a water ghost on the side of the boat who took advantage of everyone to get off the boat, and a fierce man plunged into the water, not knowing where to swim.
It took about a few breaths before the water ghost emerged from the river, and when it came out again, it leaned against a large boat.
He climbed the side of the ship as fast as he could, got into the boat, and before he could enter the cabin, a man brought him a blanket. The water ghost quickly undressed, wrapped himself in a blanket, and without speaking, went straight into the cabin.
In the cabin, it was densely crowded, but there was only one piece, which was very loose all around, and the person sitting in the middle was the fierce Tengyunzhai boss Ganlu.
On the same day, the group of people followed the arrest of the state government into Furong Town, touched an empty boat and boarded. The original owner of the ship was actually killed by Tengyun Village a long time ago.
"Big boss, I've overheard, this gang is fast, and tomorrow I will go to the state capital yamen to check the household registration. The water ghost wrapped himself in a blanket, and when he entered the cabin, he half-knelt and saluted, and spoke.
"Okay, you're doing a good job, the night wind is cold, you go change your clothes. Ganlu said in a low voice.
"This time, we wiped out the Qingfu Temple, and we didn't ask a word or two. Fortunately, Liu Junshi was smart, and he actually thought of starting from Yunshuitang's roster, and forged one according to the original roster overnight. ”
"The content of this roster is exactly the same as the previous one, but the person we are looking for is deliberately marked, that is, I hope that the state government will find it quickly, and it turns out that the other party really spared no effort to act, and Liu Junshi will make a great contribution to this matter. ”
Ganlu laughed, looking very happy, and a cold light flashed in his eyes.
On the side, the dog-headed military master with thief eyebrows and rat eyes and two thin beards on his mouth, Tengyunzhai Liu Junshi spoke.
"It's all the good command of the big bosses, and I just followed behind and came up with a small idea. ”
He rolled his eyes, and then said: "Since the other party will act tomorrow and have enough time, you will wait on this ship for a while, and I will take a few people to Jinling City to pave the way for everyone first." ”
"That's fine, our gang is all armed, it's hard to get off the ship, even if we hide our swords on our bodies, we can't hide from the defenders. Ganlu nodded.
After speaking, he held the terrifying ghost head knife in his hand: "We warriors, we have always regarded the sword in our hands as life, this time we want to enter Jinling to do great things, and we can't miss weapons, you go to the city first, we will wait for good news." ”
