Chapter 196: The new prefect disappears

readx;? When Yang Jing returned to Baling County from the Yuezhou Army, because he took the official road, he was able to meet Wang Dou who went to the Yuezhou Army for help halfway, but the road leading from Lutouyuan Miao Village to Baling was a mountain road, and this time Yang Jing was not lucky enough to meet the fast capture sent by Yang Zhixian.

When he went straight back to Baling County, it was already the afternoon of the second day, and Yang Zhixian was already as anxious as an ant on a hot pot, and when he heard that Yang Jing was back, he hurried over.

"Virtuous nephew, you're back, something big has happened!" Yang Jing saw Yang Zhixian's anxious appearance, and he also felt a little emotional.

Once upon a time, Yang Zhixian was also a clear gossip official in the court, and the people he came into contact with were princes and ministers.

But after being exiled because of the impeachment of Yan Guifei, he became a magistrate who ate and waited for death, his ambition was not rewarded and his ambition was no longer there, and he was frustrated in life and the house leaked and rained.

However, Yang Jing's appearance ignited his fighting spirit again, he was eager to make a comeback, and he began to desperately hope to return to the core battlefield of the court, but he also began to suffer from gains and losses, and became no longer calm.

If it was the previous Yang Zhi County, even if Mount Tai collapsed in front of him, his face would not change, why would he be so out of shape in front of others?

Thinking of this, Yang Jing said to Yang Zhixian: "Uncle Shi, don't be impatient, and tell your little nephew about the situation in detail." ”

Yang Jing said this, Yang Zhixian realized his gaffe, he is a dignified county, Yang Jing is just a pusher, although he vaguely feels that Yang Jing has begun to contact some secrets of the court, and even has some ulterior experiences with Wang Nianen and Qi Xuanji and others, but on the surface, Yang Jing is his subordinate after all, dependence is dependent, there should be decency or there should be, it doesn't matter in private, but people always have to pay attention to it.

Yang Zhixian also calmed down and told Yang Jing what happened.

It turned out that after Yang Jing left, Yang Zhixian and the magistrates of other counties gathered in Jiangling Mansion to collectively welcome the arrival of the new prefect.

The new prefect Mu Zicai was originally Dr. Taichang, who was responsible for the daily etiquette and other affairs of the official family, and was a close minister who could often talk to the official family, but I heard that because of Yan Lichun's matter, Yan Guifei gradually fell out of favor, and someone took the opportunity to present a beauty to the official family.

Mu Zi saw that the official family was obsessed with women again, so he kept chattering and admonishing in the ears of the official, hoping that the official family could work hard, and even suggested that the official family put the beauty into the cold palace and severely punish the officials who offered the beauty, etc.

Mu Zicai was originally a Qingliu civil official in the court, and Yang Zhixian was the same scholar, with the arrogant and stinky temper of a literati, upright and loyal, and he collided with the official family when he spoke inappropriately, but the official family thought of him with sincerity, and he couldn't bear to blame, so he just drove him out of the capital.

Although Dr. Taichang can serve the official family, but he does not have much real power, although the prefect is far away from the court, but it is a shepherd, the official family made such a decision, it is also a kind of love for Mu Zicai, I hope he can stay away from the court, go to the local exercise, and wait for him to really understand the many rules of officialdom, and then recall him back to Lin'an.

Yang Zhixian was originally the same as Mu Zicai, both of them were noble civil officials, with similar temperaments, and friendship with the same department, now Mu Zicai was transferred to the place, and he was his top boss, for Yang Zhixian, who was ambitious and wanted to make a comeback, Mu Zicai was definitely a big man worthy of "revisiting the old feelings".

Mu Zicai did not forget the days of fighting with Yang Zhixian, the two pushed the cup and changed the lamp and scolded Fang Xuan, and a banquet was eaten until late at night.

Yang Zhixian was also not good at staying in the prefect's yamen, so he stayed in Jiangling Mansion for one night, and went to Mu Zicai's office to say goodbye the next day, but was stopped by the gatehouse, saying that Mu Zicai was hangover and did not wake up, so Yang Zhixian went back to Baling first.

Yang Zhixian always felt that it was inappropriate to say goodbye without saying goodbye, but he also knew that Mu Zi had just arrived in the place, and there were still many affairs to be handed over, so he finally returned to Baling first.

Who would have thought that as soon as he returned to the county office, his butt was still hot, and the people from the prefect's yamen rushed over, saying that the new prefect Mu Zicai had disappeared!

The last person who saw Mu Zicai was Yang Zhixian, and these people were going to "invite" Yang Zhixian to return to the prefect's yamen to assist in the investigation!

Yang Zhixian was also panicked, while stabilizing these officials of the prefect's yamen, he asked the catcher to quickly find Yang Jing back.

It's just that he didn't expect Yang Jing to come back, but he didn't meet Yang Jing, but Yang Jing returned first.

After listening to Yang Zhixian's narration, many doubts suddenly appeared in his heart.

It is said that the prefect is already a big member, and those reckless thieves have great courage, and they don't dare to do anything to the prefect, let alone do it unknowingly.

The White Bull Sect just planned to make a move on Zhao Gaoyi, and also wanted to manipulate the Yuezhou Army to launch a rebellion, when Huang Zhengmin stepped down, the new prefect was a close minister of the Son of Heaven, and it was difficult to guarantee that the White Bull Sect would not move his heart, so the suspicion of the White Bull Sect should be the greatest!

At least according to Yang Jing's current situation, it should be such an inference.

But Yang Jing gave Sun Erniang a look, but Sun Erniang quietly shook her head, indicating that it was not the White Bull Sect.

Sun Erniang has been responsible for transmitting the internal intelligence of the White Bull Sect, and she said that if it is not the White Bull Sect, then it should be able to rule out the suspicion of the White Bull Sect.

But if it weren't for the White Bull Sect, who would do it to the new prefect?

Could it be that the high-ranking officials of the court who had been offended by Mu Zicai in the capital of Lin'an before sent a master to commit the crime in order to make Mu Zicai never turn over? Or is it a ghost done by local officials?

Although Yan Lichun's case pulled up the radish and brought out the mud, uprooting Yan Guifei's local forces, it was difficult to ensure that some remnants of forces loyal to Huang Zhengmin transferred the anger of hatred to the new prefect Mu Zicai.

Although these can be considered motives, these motives are weaker than enough for people to take risks and commit crimes against a minister.

Yang Jing couldn't think of a clue for a while, so he simply planned to accompany Yang Zhixian to Jiangling Mansion to see the situation first.

However, before that, he did not forget his agreement with Lu Baiyu, and said that he wanted to approve Zhou Nanchu's request to ransom and exile.

Yang Zhixian is now burning his eyebrows, and his heart is full of Mu Zicai's disappearance, where can he care about such a trivial matter, and he agreed with some impatience.

Yang Jing hurriedly took out Lu Baiyu's personal letter, asked Wang Dou to go to the prison, and personally handed it over to Zhou Nanchu and Lu Yueniang, while he led Zong Yun and others to follow Yang Zhixian to Jiangling Mansion.

When they arrived at Gangneung Mansion, it was already noon on the second day, and the people from the prefect's yamen were also so anxious that they scratched their ears and cheeks, after all, the general sentence had not yet been appointed, and there was no Tongzhi in Gangneung Mansion, because it involved a crime, so all affairs were currently in charge of Chen Qitai, the governor of Gangneung Prefecture.

Chen Qitai has always regarded Song Ci as a model, and it is said that he was also mentioned by Song Ci when he was young, and he is very familiar with the behavior of the deputy, and he himself also started from the criminal name, and climbed to the position of the official step by step.

Song Ci once commented on Chen Qitai, saying that although he has no talent, he is diligent, although he can't be a blockbuster, but he is down-to-earth, and there will be a day of accumulation.

Chen Qitai is only thirty-five years old now, but he is already a six-grade promoter, and his future is limitless, which also corresponds to Song Ci's evaluation of him.

Chen Qitai was investigating in the room of Mu Zicai, the new prefect, at this time, and heard that Yang Zhixian had come with a pusher, so he ordered the concierge to let Yang Zhixian's people in.

He had also heard of Yang Jing's name a long time ago, after all, he admired Song Ci so much, although Song Ci mentioned him a lot, he has always been reluctant to include Chen Qitai in the door, firstly, because he is afraid of the rules of officialdom and avoiding the suspicion of forming a party for personal gain, and secondly, he is also afraid of delaying Chen Qitai's career.

However, in Chen Qitai's view, the reason why Song Ci refused to accept him was that he didn't look down on his talent and thought that he was not suitable for the profession of being sentenced to prison and out of prison.

And Yang Jing is just a turtle who came out of the Miao Village, just a small pusher who does not enter the stream, but he can be favored and cultivated by Song Ci, Chen Qitai's heart is a little unbalanced after all.

When he saw Yang Jing, he felt even more uncomfortable, because Yang Jing was so young!

Not only that, Yang Zhixian actually walked side by side with Yang Jing! The dignified county magistrate actually walked side by side with his subordinates, which was really a bit disrespectful!

What's even more surprising is that Yang Zhixian only brought Chang Sui and Master by his side, but Yang Jing was accompanied by Song Fengya, Xu Fengwu, Sun Erniang, Zong Yunwang, and Tang Chong and other cadres, and the pomp and circumstance of the battle was even more majestic than him, the pusher!

Yang Jing didn't actually deliberately put up a fight, but because Yang Zhixian was urging him tightly, he didn't have time to settle these people to live in Baling County, and he didn't even have time to go home, so he rushed over directly.

And he didn't worry about Sun Erniang and Shen Di acting alone, and he had the heart to train Song Fengya, Zong Yun and others to solve crimes together, this was the best way to cultivate, so he naturally wanted to bring them over for an internship.

Moreover, from the moment he entered the yamen of Jiangling Mansion, Yang Jing had already felt an unusual atmosphere, and he had new ideas about the disappearance of the new prefect Mu Zicai, and it was this new idea that made Yang Jing calm down.

After all, Yang Zhixian was an old man in officialdom, so he immediately led Yang Jing and others to salute Chen Qitai, the official of Jiangling Mansion.

"Lord Tuiguan has worked hard, I don't know if you have eyebrows?" Although Yang Zhixian has a difference in rank from Chen Qitai, Chen Qitai is only a subordinate official of the prefect's yamen, while Yang Zhixian is the county pastor, and with Yang Zhixian's previous officialdom experience, he is not so groveling to Chen Qitai.

Chen Qitai raised his head slightly, glanced at Yang Jing, and then replied coldly towards Yang Zhixian.

"I'm not a Jiangling detective, what can I do, Master Mu has been missing for nearly three days, and the official has no clue, so he can only repeatedly investigate the scene to find clues. ”

Chen Qitai said that he was extremely unbearable, he originally wanted to retreat as advance, and wanted to give Yang Zhixian a chance and let Yang Zhixian praise him.

It's a pity that Yang Zhixian is also a human spirit, and he has long seen Chen Qitai's thoughts, and Mu Zi is his same year, that is to say, even the prefect is his equals, how can Yang Zhixian praise Chen Qitai's stinky feet, and immediately take advantage of the situation.

"Lord Chen is also doing his best, the official is not talented, and he is not good at judging cases, so he had to bring the county magistrate over, Yang Xian's nephew has a lot of experience in criminal investigation, and I hope to help Lord Chen a hand. ”

Although Yang Zhixian spoke lightly and his posture was very low, but when he talked about Chen Qitai, even the other people present could hear the pride in Yang Zhixian's words!

The dignified magistrate of the county is proud of Yang Jing as such a pusher, and even brought Yang Jing out to tease Chen Qitai, the governor of Jiangling Mansion, Yang Zhixian is really no longer a submissive person waiting for death, his sharpness and edge are exposed, it can be seen that he is already determined to show his strength!

How could Chen Qitai not hear Yang Zhixian's voice! His face immediately turned cold!
