readx;? Mu Zicai is a lowly and powerful official in the court but can not be ignored, although the official position is not high, and he does not have much real power, but he can often approach the official family, it is said that this type of official is not allowed to interfere in politics, but Mu Zicai did not take the initiative to admonish, it does not mean that the official family will not ask his opinion, so many times they can influence the direction of things.

It is precisely because of this that in the matter of impeaching Yan Guifei, Mu Zi, as a noble civil official, played a key role.

But it is precisely in this way that he ended up like this, although the prefect is already a big member, but for Mu Zicai, presiding over local government affairs is not a specialty, and his strength is more theory than practical work.

Moreover, in the court, he already knew one thing that these traitors had always been to eradicate the evil and eradicate the roots, and it was impossible for him to stop just because he was degraded.

Before he was familiar with the local situation, Mu Zicai chose Taoguang Yang Hui very wisely, which is why he wanted to trick Yang Zhixian and others and create a disappearance case.

Although he was an unruly civil official, Dr. Taichang, the officials of the Ministry of Rites, and even the supervision of the imperial history were all models of etiquette for hundreds of officials, and they were examples for many civil officials to follow, and he would not have done such a ridiculous thing in any case.

The reason why Mu Zicai created this farce was to let those who were still secretly observing him know that he Mu Zicai no longer cared about the battles of the court and had begun to enjoy a simple literati life in the local area.

Moreover, he was also testing the attitude of these people towards him, so he did not refuse the uninvited participation of the literati and wealthy families in his banquet, because he knew that there would definitely be an enemy in it.

After the banquet, Mu Zi only observed for two days, and the effect was not bad, but he had no way to put his mind at ease.

Until he listened to Yang Jing's plan to promote sweet potatoes, in addition to really wanting to do some work, he continued to try.

And the result of this temptation made him very worried, because if nothing else, Wu Sangui's death was aimed at him!

If you think about it carefully, as long as you have a little brain, you can figure it out, whether it is the prefect Mu Zicai, Yang Zhixian or Yang Jing, there is no motive to poison Wu Sangui.

So many people participated in the sweet potato banquet, and everyone had eaten sweet potatoes, but Wu Sangui was poisoned, and he only needed to think about it with his knees to know that there was something strange in it.

But Wu Sangui did die like this, in Mu Zicai's opinion, this is a warning to him from those who want to put him to death!

Because Wu Sangui died at the right time, it was just at the point when he was about to show his strength and choose to work hard in the local area, instead of Taoguang and obscurity!

Although he has not seen Wu Sangui's body yet, and has not begun to investigate this case, Mu Zicai already knows very well that this is a warning given to him by hostile forces, and Wu Sangui is just a victim.

This is a threat, that is, to kill people in front of you to show you, to see if you dare to investigate deeply, to see if you can find out, to see if you dare to really work hard to promote sweet potatoes, to see if you still have the luxury of making a comeback!

Mu Zi is a typical literati, with the unyielding style of a literati, he wanted to taoguang and cultivate obscurity because he was not familiar with and adapted to the environment, but now he has the support of Yang Zhixian and Yang Jing, and can carry out his own work.

It can be exaggerated to say that he, like Yang Zhixian, pinned his hopes for a comeback on Yang Jing!

This sounds a little ridiculous, one is the former Dr. Taichang, the other is the exiled Qing Guiyan official, and Yang Jing is just a pusher, but they all coincidentally tie their future to Yang Jing, which is a bit ridiculous.

can think about it carefully, but it is reasonable, not to mention Yang Jing's ability to solve the case, just saying that Yang Jing can deal with the Yuezhou Army's camp incident, can quell the riots of the Dong family and Miao Village, and can take precautions to put forward a plan to promote sweet potatoes, which is enough to prove Yang Jing's ability!

Since Mu Zicai has decided to regain his strength and make a comeback, he can't retreat, and there is no possibility of retreating!

Even if Wu Sangui's death is a threat to him from hostile forces, he must rise to the challenge, not only fearlessly, but also find out the truth, find out the people behind the scenes, and win the beauty!

And whether all this can be done depends largely on Yang Jing's ability to solve the case, and he needs Yang Jing to determine whether Wu Sangui's death was just a simple poisoning, poisoned because of personal grudges, or a victim of political struggle!

According to Yang Zhixian's introduction, this Wu Sangui is a wealthy family in Baling City, although he is not as good as the Peng family and the Zhou family, but he has been doing the business of the boat gang, and he can be regarded as having a head and a face.

The commerce of the Song Dynasty was the most developed in ancient times, but the commercial varieties were not too rich, nothing more than clothing, food, housing and transportation, such as the Peng family, the Zhou family, etc., the most important business was the grain store, and then the silk village, etc., and then through the approval of the government, the use of salt to lead the hoarding of salt.

After the previous case, the Peng family and the Zhou family have been very restrained, but their control over local business has not relaxed, so many wealthy families are actively looking for opportunities, which is one of the reasons why they participate in the banquet.

Wu Sangui is also the number one person, and as a result, he was poisoned so easily, Mu Zicai can also feel it, and it should not be difficult to guess who can do this kind of thing and can do this kind of thing.

Yang Zhixian introduced some simple information about Wu Sangui, and at the same time came to the front of the yamen with Mu Zicai and Yang Jing.

At this time, Wu Sangui's family had already carried Wu Sangui's body and placed it at the gate of the county government, and the people watching the excitement were also crowded.

Wu Sangui's body was covered with a white cloth, and several women next to him with a bunch of children didn't have time to wear linen and filial piety, so they knelt in pain like this, calling the sky and grabbing the ground, only saying that Wu Sangui was poisoned after eating a wine banquet, and asked the county government to give an explanation and justice!

Yang Zhixian and Yang Jing have done a lot of practical things, the reputation and reputation of Baling County are not bad, compared with other states and counties, it is already at the top level, at least the people have grievances and complaints, unlike other states and counties, they don't even dare to sue.

So these people are just looking at the excitement, after all, most of the businessmen are rich and unkind, Wu Sangui's reputation in Baling is not too good, except for a few people with intentions who are stirring up the atmosphere, everyone else is relatively calm.

It can be seen that after Yang Zhixian and the others came out, the women and children of the Wu family actually knelt and climbed onto the platform, desperately trying to catch Yang Zhixian, the scene was suddenly chaotic, and some people in the crowd began to shout and throw some dirt up!

Yang Jing hid behind, his eyes scanned the scene like a torch, and soon locked on a few people in the crowd who were making trouble, Chao Zongyun and Xu Fengwu Wang Dou and others made a look, Zong Yun and others rushed into the crowd one after another, and the spectators shouted to escape, and the scene was even more chaotic!

Fortunately, Zong Yun and the others lived up to expectations, and it didn't take long to pull out the seven or eight people who were picking quarrels and provoking trouble, and threw them on the ground.

Yang Zhixian saw that the people of the Wu family were still crying, and immediately shouted: "Boldly Diao the people! Lord Mu of Zhixian County is here, how dare he make a noise!"

The first middle-aged woman cried so much that her face was full of tears and snot, and she grabbed Mu Zicai's official robe and cried.

"The prefect has to be the master of the people! My family officials ate the wine banquet of the yamen, and as soon as they returned home, they were poisoned to death! I beg the lord to see the truth and give the deceased husband Zhaoxue a grievance!"

Mu Zicai let the woman pull her robe, just looked at it coldly, and then said in a deep voice: "Who are you, report your name." ”

The woman immediately stopped crying, but sobbed and replied: "Back to my lord, the concubine is Liu Ruyue, the wife of the official Wu Sangui, and the lord wants to be the master of the concubine!"

Mu Zicai flicked his sleeves and snorted coldly: "Liu Ruyue, do you suspect that this official poisoned Wu Sangui, or do you suspect Lord Yang of Zhixian County!"

Liu Ruyue was suddenly frightened, and her tears were collected, she is a woman's family, where can she withstand the dignity of Mu Zicai, after all, the latter is a character who has been with the monarch for a long time, what kind of big man has not seen it, under the influence of her ears and eyes, even Yang Zhixian has to retreat, and talk about these flat-headed people!

"The concubine doesn't dare, the concubine just wants to ask for an explanation"

As soon as Liu Ruyue opened her mouth like this, Mu Zicai and the others could already see that these people were obviously instigated, even if they saw the county officials, they didn't know what they wanted, and they didn't have a clue about the cause of Wu Sangui's death!

"Liu, let me ask you, are there any of these people?"

"Returning to the adult's words, this is not true"

"Then the official asks you again, can there be Langzhong!"

"Neither either"

"There is neither a pretense nor a Langzhong, how can you conclude that Wu Sangui was poisoned, even if he was poisoned, how can you think that he was poisoned at a banquet, and why should you go to the county government to ask for an explanation! If you can't tell the reason, the official will arrest you all!"

Mu Zi knew that these people were just puppets and minions who were manipulated, and he was too lazy to waste time, and sure enough, Liu Ruyue was scolded by Mu Zi like this, and her whole mind was blank, as if she was trying to remember something, but she didn't know whether she couldn't remember it or didn't have the courage, so she was speechless for a while.

"Your Excellency will have different faces when you are poisoned, you might as well take a look," the old servant beside Liu Ruyue cautiously proposed.

Mu Zicai's eyes were as sharp as an eagle's falcon, and he glanced at the old slave, and then scolded: "You are not a bitter master, nor a good man, let alone a good person, just a lowly subordinate, where is there a place for you to speak!"

As soon as Mu Zi gave the order, the catchers arrested the old slave, slapped him with a few big blows, and knocked out the few remaining teeth of the old slave!

Mu Zicai also took the lead and stabilized the scene first, because he knew that Liu Ruyue and the others were just instructed by others, and whoever supported them behind their backs would be suspicious, and they would naturally not show mercy!

Yang Jing walked over, lifted the white cloth, and sure enough, he saw Wu Sangui's face was bruised, his lips were black, and his eyes, mouth, nose and ears were bleeding black!

Yang Jing only glanced at it, and then said to everyone and the surrounding spectators: "Ladies and gentlemen, this official is the criminal case magistrate of Baling County, and after a preliminary investigation, Wu Sangui was indeed poisoned and died!"

As soon as Yang Jing said this, everyone was in an uproar, he was really poisoned, could it be that there was really something wrong with the banquet of the county government?!!!

However, Yang Jing said loudly next: "But."

Seeing that Yang Jing still had something to say, the scene suddenly became silent, and everyone listened attentively, looking forward to what Yang Jing was going to say next.

I only heard Yang Jing sneer: "Wu Sangui was violently poisoned, if he was poisoned in the banquet of the county government, he would not be able to get out of the county government at all! Therefore, someone poisoned him after leaving the county office, and wanted to blame the county government to provoke chaos!"

Yang Zhixian had long known that Yang Jing had a way, and when he heard this, he immediately ordered loudly: "Come on, detain the horseman and the elder and the others!"
