Chapter 130: The Case Is Serious
Three months before Wang Anshi became the county magistrate of Yinxian County, a menacing typhoon caused serious losses to Yinxian County, especially the ten boatloads of incense medicines transported from Nanyang by the Imperial Incense and Pharmacy Bureau capsized outside the port of Mingzhou, and in the end only a few hundred boxes were salvaged, losing 100,000 yuan.
However, the evidence provided by Long Jun showed that Zhang Qilin, who was the county governor at that time, sent his nephew to lead people to salvage the spices, and the reply to the imperial court was that the spices were almost lost.
But in fact, there were three ships whose cargo holds were well sealed and did not seep into the water, but this secret was concealed by the Zhang family.
Afterwards, the Zhang family scooped up spices worth 30,000 yuan from these three ships, and took advantage of the opportunity of rising spice prices in the market, they shipped from the black market and made tens of thousands of ill-gotten gains, which were put into the Jinfu Money Shop, which made the Jin Fu Money Shop have sufficient financial resources, and in just two or three years, it jumped from sixth place to first place.
Fan Ning finished reading the information in the paper bag, and couldn't help sighing, "Even the wealth of the imperial court dares to secretly rob it, I really admire the audacity of the Zhang family." ”
Wang Anshi also nodded, "This Long Jun is also a caring person, he actually kept the wooden box containing spices until now, and there is a list of people who participated in the sea to fish for boxes, what do you say I should do?" Do you want to check the evidence directly, or report to Governor Lee first? ”
Fan Ning thought for a while and said: "With such a major event, no matter how good the relationship between Governor Li and Zhang Qilin is, he will not dare to smooth it out for Zhang Qilin, but I am worried that Governor Li will also share the benefits?" ”
"That's not it, it can be seen from the implementation of the Qingmiao Law that Li Cheng did not wear a pair of pants with Zhang Qilin, and Li Cheng's family background is excellent, he will not ruin his future by coveting that money."
"In this case, my brother can go and report to Governor Li, and it is best to suggest to Governor Li that Bao Gong intervene in this case, he is a transfer envoy, and the sinking of ten big ships is his duty, and he also has the title of supervising the imperial history, and has the right to temporarily suspend Zhang Qilin."
Wang Anshi nodded, "If we want to go together, I'll go to Governor Li!" ”
Fan Ning immediately asked Xu Qing to follow Wang Anshi to protect Wang Anshi's personal safety and prevent Zhang Qilin from jumping off the wall in a hurry.
..........
"What?"
Li Cheng stood up suddenly, he couldn't believe what he had heard.
Zhang Qilin's family dared to be greedy for the valuable goods of the imperial court's incense pharmacy, Li Cheng was originally a son of a wealthy family in the capital, he knew the value of incense, it was more than ten times the profit!
What does Mifune Spice mean?
Zhang Qilin took advantage of the imperial court's trust in the county government to deceive the imperial court, so he was not afraid that these three boats of spices would prop him to death?
Li Cheng took a few steps and turned around and ordered: "Mobilize the archers of the county and state governments to arrest the sailors involved in the spice fishing, dig out the boxes buried in Long Jun's mansion, and once the evidence is conclusive, arrest Zhang Qilin immediately." ”
Wang Anshi also suggested: "In this matter, the official suggested that the transfer envoy Bao Zheng be notified, and this matter is also related to the transfer department. ”
Li Cheng thought about it, then nodded and agreed, "It's okay, I'll send someone to inform Bao Zheng, and at the same time inform the Criminal Division, the case is serious, and it must be reported to the court again." ”
..........
Zhang Qilin is quite depressed these days, he didn't expect that the cow case he had carefully planned would be lifted high, but it would fall gently.
Even Long Jun was not affected, only Qiu Yong, the stunned young man, took all the blame, and finally it became an accident.
This result was by no means what Zhang Qilin wanted.
The grievances between Zhang Qilin and Wang Anshi were settled when Wang Anshi took office, and Wang Anshi cleaned up the county government within a month of taking office, adjusted the three charges, and replaced the capital.
This took away the power that belonged to the county magistrate and the county lieutenant, but the county lieutenant was an old drunkard, who had no intention of official duties, and indulged in alcohol all day long, and had no opinion on the replacement of the capital.
But Zhang Qilin can't tolerate it, he also has a term, and he doesn't want his term of office to be completely hollowed out by Wang Anshi.
Of course, it is not without reason that Wang Anshi is emptying Zhang Qilin, the two of them have completely opposite attitudes towards the implementation of the Qingmiao Law, and Zhang Qilin resolutely opposes the implementation of the Qingmiao Law, which infringes on the fundamental interests of Jinfu Qian Shop.
Wang Anshi may be able to tolerate Zhang Qilin in other aspects, in terms of the Qingmiao Law, he will never allow Zhang Qilin to contradict himself, he simply deprives Zhang Qilin of the last bit of power, and makes Zhang Qilin completely sit on the cold bench.
As a result, Zhang Qilin had no emotion in his heart except hatred.
However, after the cow shock, Wang Anshi has been very calm, as if the cow shock case was really an accident in Wang Anshi's heart, but Zhang Qilin knew that it was impossible.
Wang Anshi knew very well that he was the mastermind behind the scenes, but he couldn't find evidence.
Zhang Qilin was really a little uneasy in his heart, and an intuition told him that Wang Anshi would never give up, and there would definitely be corresponding means to come out.
At this time, there was a rapid running sound in the courtyard, "Big official, something is wrong!" Someone shouted anxiously.
Zhang Qilin was stunned, got up and walked out of the lobby, only to see a middle-aged man running in with a frightened face.
He recognized this middle-aged man as the second shopkeeper of the Jinfu Money Shop, and seeing his frightened face, Zhang Qilin faintly felt a little bad in his heart.
"What happened?"
The second shopkeeper said in a panic: "There are many people from the county government and the state government, all the guys in the money shop have been arrested, and the proprietor has also been arrested by them, and I escaped through the back door." ”
Zhang Qilin was taken aback, and the state government also came.
"Why do you want to arrest people?"
The second shopkeeper trembled and said: "Listening to Wang County's order to say to the second proprietor, it seems to.... It seems to have something to do with some kind of incense. ”
Zhang Qilin's brain 'buzzed! The sound was like five thunderbolts.
The three-year-old case was turned over, it's over, it's over, the Zhang family is completely finished.
At this moment, Zhang Qilin felt that he had fallen into a bottomless abyss, his heart was constantly falling and falling in the dark, and he couldn't see when he would be able to land.
He would rather fall to pieces at once than fall endlessly in the dark.
Zhang Qilin slowly turned around and walked towards the inner hall with difficulty.
At this time, another family member rushed to him, and shouted in fear: "The eldest master, the third master said that the government dug up a lot of wooden boxes in Long Jun's house, and they were all large wooden boxes containing incense medicine. ”
Zhang Qilin seemed to be numb, he didn't have a head, and only said lightly: "I know!" ”
Zhang Qilin knew that he had lost, and he was completely defeated.
"Skynet is magnificent!" He sighed lowly.
.........
Several officials found three boxes of unprocessed sandalwood in a special cellar in the Jinfu Money Shop, after all, it was unrealistic for Mifune's spices to be sold on the black market at once, which would cause the imperial court to be alarmed.
So in the past three years, the Zhang family has been shipping one after another, and the remaining three boxes of spices are the last little bit of leftovers, but they have become the most critical evidence.
Li Cheng's face was gloomy as water, and he looked at the three large boxes pulled out of the cellar, and the words "Incense Pharmacy" on the boxes were still clearly visible.
Li Cheng turned around and asked Wang Anshi, "Did you arrest someone?" ”
Wang Anshi nodded, "Yang Dutou has already brought people there, and it is estimated that he has been caught." ”
Li Cheng sighed, "I can't imagine that a dignified county prince would actually do such a thing, greedy for profit and bold, I really don't know how to explain to the imperial court?" ”
Wang Anshi said with a smile: "Don't worry about it, when the incense boat had an accident, you and I were not performing our duties in Mingzhou, and the board of the imperial court was knocked down, and it was not your turn to be you, and even the case was solved." ”
Li Cheng nodded silently, he knew in his heart that as long as the Zhang family's property could make up for the loss of the imperial court's incense, it would be easy to say anything, otherwise, even if it had nothing to do with him, the imperial court would be responsible for negligence.
"Hurry up, don't grind!" Not far away, the shouts of archers were heard.
Wang Anshi was stunned, hadn't all the people involved in the case already been arrested? Why do you still want to arrest people now?
He looked over and saw two young men escorted by the archers, their hands tied behind their backs, their heads bowed, and they seemed to look depressed.
"What's going on?" Wang Anshi stepped forward and asked.
An archer stepped forward to report, "Qiqi County Jun, these two people tried to save Dongsheng and were caught by us. ”
Wang Anshi is a little strange, Zhang Sheng has already been escorted away, and he is publicly escorted, will they not know?
I don't know why, Wang Anshi suddenly felt a strong sense of insecurity, and involuntarily took a step back.
At this moment, two young men suddenly moved, they broke free of the hemp rope with both hands, snatched the archer's waist knife with their hands, and shouted, "Death to the thief!" The two of them swung their knives at Wang Anshi on the left and right.
Wang Anshi was so frightened that he couldn't hide, seeing that Wang Anshi's head was about to land, at this moment, two iron arrows 'whoosh!' The shot hit the two murderers in the chest.
The iron arrow pierced through the chest, and the two murderers screamed at the same time, and the knife in their hands was 'Dang Chang!' 'Fell to the ground, and immediately fell to the ground and died.
The change between the rise and fall of the rabbit stunned everyone.
It wasn't until Zhang Erlang and Zhang Sanlang died of anger that everyone reacted and surrounded Wang Anshi one after another.
Wang Anshi was shocked, waved his hand for a while and said, "I don't care!" ”
The two murderers were obviously coming for themselves, pretending to be caught, looking for an opportunity to get closer to them.
He looked back at the place where he shot the arrow, there was no trace, and he was secretly grateful to Fan Ning in his heart, if Fan Ning hadn't sent Xu Qing to protect him, he might have lost his life here today.
At this time, Dutou Yang Huai ran in nervously, and he brought news that Zhang Qilin, the county minister, hanged himself in the official room.
