Chapter 128: The Authorities Are Confused
When the day was almost dawn, Wang Anshi returned to the county government exhausted, his mind was already a mess, he was so sleepy that he couldn't open his eyes, although some things were imminent, he didn't bother to think about it anymore.
He just wanted to get a good night's sleep for now.
As soon as he walked into the inner hall of the county office, a servant stepped forward and reported: "County gentleman, Fan Xiaoguan has an urgent matter to find you, and he has been waiting for a while." ”
Wang Anshi covered his mouth and yawned, he couldn't hide his tiredness, and the official immediately understood, and hurriedly said: "Otherwise, please ask Fan Xiaoguan to go back first, and then meet him another day." ”
Wang Anshi was about to agree, but suddenly remembered that Qiu Yong was caught by Fan Ning for him, maybe he really had something big.
Wang Anshi changed his words and said, "No need, I'll go see him." ”
In the county hall, Fan Ning was drinking tea in a hurry, and he didn't sleep well last night, almost all night.
He has been thinking about the cow scare case, from the first time he saw Qiu Yong, he knew that this person was a brave and unscrupulous person, desperately begging Wang Anshi to spare his life, but he didn't want to think about it, the cow scared and killed seven innocent people, is there any point in pleading at this time?
Since he is brave and unplanned, there must be a mastermind behind him, so who is this mastermind?
He thought about it all night, and it wasn't until Xu Qing told him a piece of news just now that he strung together several things that he was thinking about.
At this time, Wang Anshi walked in tiredly, "Brother Xian, if there is something to say, Brother Fool really can't hold on." ”
Fan Ning looked at the sleepy Wang Anshi, and felt a little sorry in his heart, but some things are the authorities' fans, if he doesn't break it, Wang Anshi may not be able to see through it.
"Actually, I just want to ask my brother a question, who is the owner behind the gold money shop?"
"This ......."
Wang Anshi was a little speechless for a while, his heart suddenly moved, and he glanced at Fan Ning vigilantly.
"What are you asking for?"
"Brother, leave it alone, answer my question first."
Wang Anshi sighed and said: "The owner of the Jinfu money shop is surnamed Zhang, very low-key, there are rumors that he is the brother of Zhang Xiancheng, but it is just a rumor, I haven't checked the specifics, and I don't know very well." ”
Fan Ning nodded, "As I thought, there is a good chance that this proprietor surnamed Zhang is Zhang Xiancheng's brother." ”
"What the hell is going on?"
Wang Anshi asked anxiously again, and his intuition told him that he was afraid that what he was most worried about was going to happen.
Fan Ning groaned and said, "My guard just told me a piece of news, I'm afraid that the county monarch will soon know that there is a person in the Xiaoyue Prefecture Inn outside the East City who hanged himself, and someone recognizes this person as Long Jun, the big shopkeeper of the Jinfu Money Shop. ”
"Ahh
Wang Anshi was stunned for a moment, he interrogated Qiu Yong all night, and Qiu Yong finally admitted that the person who planned the surprise was Long Jun, the big shopkeeper of the Jinfu Money Shop.
Unexpectedly, Long Jun actually died at this juncture, how will he explain to Governor Li later?
At this moment, Wang Anshi's sleepiness was gone, he was very anxious, and he was spinning around the room with his hands in his hands.
Fanning saw that Wang Anshi was helpless, in fact, Wang Anshi was just a fan of the authorities, and he didn't think of the key to dealing with this matter?
"Brother should have figured out how to report the shocking case to Governor Li, right?" Fanning asked lightly.
This sentence is very unlevel, the sky is about to dawn, how can I not think about it.
Wang Anshi's heart moved, he suddenly understood what Fan Ning meant, and he hurriedly smiled: "I'm very confused now, can you give me advice?" ”
Fan Ning smiled, "Brother is only here because he is here, in fact, the real mastermind behind this matter, brother should know in his heart, I'm right!" ”
Wang Anshi nodded, how could he not think of it? Qiu Yong admitted that this matter was planned by Long Jun, the big shopkeeper of the rich money shop, and he thought of Zhang Qilin, the county prince.
Of course, Zhang Qilin will not be directly involved in the case, he will implement the plan through his brother, and even his brother will not show up, but let the big shopkeeper Long Jun act as the planner.
Killing Long Jun is equivalent to destroying the mouth.
"I do know!"
Fan Ning smiled slightly: "Actually, why does my brother care about Long Jun's death? I didn't come to my brother to tell my brother about Long Jun, but to mention it in passing. ”
"And what are you trying to say?"
Fan Ning pondered for a moment and said slowly: "I just reminded my brother that the purpose of someone creating the Cow Shock Case is to make things bigger, if my brother is just to solve the case, then it can be tossed no matter what, but if my brother is to not affect the Qingmiao Law, it should be a big thing and a small matter, as for the person who is behind the knife, I will find another excuse to clean it up in the future." ”
Fan Ning's words suddenly made Wang Anshi break out in a cold sweat, he was really ready to arrest Long Jun according to Qiu Yong's confession, and now he realized that he had forgotten his original intention.
I want to actively catch Qiu Yong, isn't it just that I am afraid of making things bigger?
If Qiu Yong is arrested, it will inevitably involve the Jinfu money shop, then track down the proprietor, peel off the cocoon layer by layer, sooner or later, Governor Li will find out that this matter is related to the county Cheng, and finally make a county Cheng plot a murder case, the world is in an uproar, so can his own Qingmiao Law be carried out?
Wang Anshi sighed secretly, he is really a fan of the authorities!
He lowered his head and pondered for a moment and said, "You mean to say that nailing this case directly to the Qiu family's money shop has nothing to do with the Jinfu money shop?" ”
Fan Ning took a sip of tea and said slowly: "The three Qiu brothers are known as the Three Tigers of Yinxian County, I don't know how many things they have done, let their money shop bear all the losses and compensate, I don't think I have wronged them." ”
After a pause, Fan Ning smiled and said: "Actually, Governor Li should be a smart person, he can guess the truth behind the scenes, if he will be wrong, and closing this case shows that he doesn't want to expand the situation, if he is not satisfied and asks for a retrial of this case, then my brother will simply take the opportunity to take down Zhang Qilin and completely clear the way for the implementation of the Qingmiao Law." ”
Fan Ning's words really shocked Wang Anshi's heart, and he was amazed by Fanning's sophistication and clarity of thinking in dealing with problems, especially in insight into people's hearts, even surpassing himself.
Although he was still vague, he was to the point, and Governor Lee did not want the situation to escalate.
Wang Anshi looked at the young man in front of him, and he even had an illusion that this was just a young man's body, but an adult's heart.
Wang Anshi nodded slowly, "Then I'll just use the confession of the first interrogation of Qiu Yong, there is no mastermind, but he committed a crime on impulse." ”
.......
In the morning, Wang Anshi reported the findings of the investigation to Li Cheng, the governor of Mingzhou, who had just rushed back to Yinxian County, on the conclusion of the investigation of the shocking cattle case.
Li Cheng accepted Wang Anshi's conclusion that this was an unexpected case, and the criminal's original intention was not to kill people, but he just wanted to use cattle to disrupt the scene of spring plowing and money, but the situation was out of control and caused serious consequences.
Due to the conclusive evidence and serious consequences, Li Cheng immediately sentenced Qiu Yong to be beheaded, reported to the Criminal Division and the Criminal Department for approval, and confiscated all the assets of Desheng's money shop as compensation for the deceased and a fine.
In the end, the cattle shock case did not evolve into a shocking case, but was characterized as an accident, which greatly reduced the degree of its impact.
The county government began to continue to issue loans for seedlings, and Wang Anshi made some fine-tuning of the seedlings method according to last year's loans.
First, the interest on borrowing money has been reduced, and the original annual interest rate of two cents has been reduced to one cent, which has greatly reduced the burden on the peasants; if the credit is good for three consecutive years, it can also be expanded to 500 yuan per mu on the basis of the upper limit of 300 yuan per mu, and the interest rate will be reduced to 7 percent.
The second is to expand the scope of borrowing money, not only homesteaders, but also landless tenant farmers to borrow money from the government, which includes all farmers in the scope of the implementation of the Seedling Law.
.......
The cow case ended silently, but Wang Anshi and Fan Ning both understood that the game was only temporarily stopped, and if the tumor was not completely dug up, then there would be another cow case or horse case.
"What!"
Wang Anshi's eyes widened, staring at Fan Ning incredulously.
"You asked me to find Qiu Li?"
Fan Ning smiled and nodded, "Desheng Money Shop is Qiu Li's painstaking operation for forty years to get to this year, but it was confiscated by the government, and his youngest son will also be beheaded, can he not hate?" Can you not be in a hurry?
But we have to find out, who does he hate? What's the hurry? With these two points clear, we will have a purpose. ”
Wang Anshi is accustomed to the old way that Fan Ning is not in line with his age, and he himself can't tell why he is so wise, it should have nothing to do with prodigies, but more like a genius, such as Ganluo, isn't it just to worship Fan Ning when he is so old?
Now, Wang Anshi has regarded Fan Ning as his own adviser, and important matters related to the Qingmiao Law must be discussed with him.
For example, reducing interest rates, rewarding trustworthiness, and including tenants in the scope of borrowing money are all suggestions put forward by Fanning.
Wang Anshi pondered for a moment and said, "Are you saying that he hates Zhang Xiancheng deeply and is in a hurry to redeem the money shop?" ”
