Chapter 197: Surveying the Prefect's Study

readx;? Yang Zhixian and the new prefect Mu Zicai are the same science and scholars, and have a friendship of the same year, the two reunited after a long absence, talked very happily, and after a good drink, Mu Zicai disappeared out of thin air!

And what made Yang Zhixian both anxious and angry was that he became the last person to see Mu Zicai, which means that he has a certain suspicion of committing a crime!

At least sending people from Jiangling Mansion to Baling to "invite" him Yang Zhi County to assist in the investigation shows the attitude of Jiangling Prefecture towards Yang Zhi County. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info

At present, Chen Qitai, the governor of Jiangling Prefecture, is in charge, but he treats Yang Zhixian as a suspect, which makes Yang Zhixian how can he bear it.

Since Chen Qitai is not polite to him, then he doesn't need to be too humble to Chen Qitai, otherwise he will really be regarded as a suspect, and he can't be washed away by jumping into the Yellow River, and he can't talk about a comeback.

Low-key is low-key, some things should be fought for or fought for, and when it should be high-profile, it is still necessary to be high-profile.

Besides, now that Yang Jing is back, he believes that Yang Jing will definitely have a way, and in his heart, Yang Jing is much stronger than this official Chen Qitai!

Yang Jing saw that Chen Qitai's face was pale, and he smiled bitterly in his heart, Yang Zhixian took advantage of the verbal advantage, but he had to face Chen Qitai, but he was a serious pusher!

Hearing that Yang Zhixian admired Yang Jing so much, Chen Qitai, who had prejudices against Yang Jing, naturally didn't have much of a good face towards Yang Jing, walked out of Mu Zicai's room, and then made a gesture of giving way, spread his hand, and said to Yang Jing.

"Since Lord Yang of Baling County is here, where does this official dare to get an axe, then ask Yang Tui to get the prefect back!"

The catchers in Jiangling Mansion are not simple people, and the other subordinate officials are also used to being in the officialdom, and when they heard Chen Qitai mocking so mercilessly, they knew that Yang Jing had completely offended this official, and they couldn't help but sweat for Yang Jing.

There are also some people who were demoted because of Huang Zhengmin's resignation, and seeing Yang Jing like this, they were also gloating in their hearts, just waiting to see Yang Jing's jokes.

Even Yu Zongyun and Wang Buliu secretly shook their heads, thinking that Yang Jing was pushed to the front by Yang Zhixian and faced Chen Qitai's pressure, which was really unwise, if the case was not clear, Chen Qitai would definitely take the opportunity to fall into the ground, and Yang Jing's reputation and reputation would be completely ruined.

Even if this missing case is successfully solved, it will make Chen Qitai lose face, and he will completely tie up with Chen Qitai in the future, no matter what, Yang Jing is thankless.

Rather than this, it is better to watch the fire from the other side, the disappearance of the new prefect was originally an errand of the official Chen Qitai, and if the investigation could not be investigated, all the responsibility should be borne by Chen Qitai, Yang Zhixian now wants Yang Jingqiang to come forward, which is really a bit of a mistake.

However, they do not know the situation of Yang Zhixian as well as Yang Jing, who hopes to return to the center of power as soon as possible and make a comeback as soon as possible.

In the same year, Mu Zicai is undoubtedly the best relationship path for Yang Zhi County, and being able to successfully solve this case will definitely outweigh the disadvantages for Yang Zhi County.

Earlier, because of the fraud case and the Yan Lichun case, Yang Zhixian has accumulated a lot of credit, but because he has just been appointed to Baling County, he has not been promoted because of merit, if he can solve this case this time, maybe he will be able to strike while the iron is hot and go to the next level!

Of course, Yang Zhixian dares to be so high-profile, which comes entirely from his confidence in Yang Jing, in his opinion, Yang Jing can even solve the Yuezhou military camp incident satisfactorily, how can it be difficult to live with Yang Jing in a mere disappearance case!

Yang Jing can also understand Yang Zhixian's intentions, since he has been tied to Yang Zhixian in the same boat, Yang Jing will naturally not escape, although Chen Qitai is menacing, Yang Jing is also a little wronged when he is involved, but when the matter comes, Yang Jing will not flinch, and immediately smiled at Chen Qitai.

"Lord Tuiguan is serious, Yang is just a little pusher in Baling, how dare he overstep his bounds, if Yang's opinion can help Lord Tui Guan figure out the ins and outs, it is already Yang's honor. ”

Although Yang Jing's words sounded humble, he was neither humble nor arrogant, although he gave up his first work, he also skillfully pushed all the responsibility back to Chen Qitai.

The implication is that if the investigation is successful, I, Yang Jing, will only assist in solving the case, and the lion's share will still belong to you Chen Qitai, but if you can't find out, it will be your Chen Qitai's responsibility, and I, Yang Jing, will just come over to assist in the investigation.

Although there was some discount, it was Yang Jing who took advantage in the end, of course, provided that the case could really be solved.

Chen Qitai thought that Yang Jing was young and vigorous, and he was valued by Song Ci, so he would inevitably get a little carried away, but when he heard Yang Jing's words, he didn't dare to underestimate Yang Jing in his heart, and said immediately.

"That being the case, let's take a look at the scene first. ”

Yang Jing smiled slightly, waved his hand at Chen Qitai and said, "Don't be busy watching the scene first, before that, Yang still has some questions to figure out." ”

Chen Qitai saw that Yang Jing was not polite at all, and wanted to lead Yang Jing's nose, but as soon as Yang Jing entered the state of investigating the case, he took the initiative, and Chen Qitai had no choice but to snort coldly.

"What does Yang Tui want to know?"

Yang Jing smiled slightly, looked at Yang Zhixian, and then asked Chen Qitai, "I want to know who was the last person to see the prefect, and when did you see it." ”

Chen Qitai seemed to have a thorough understanding of the whole case, and when he heard Yang Jing's question, he beckoned, and when he was quick to catch a quick time, he summoned a maid over.

"This cheap maid is the prefect's roommate, that day the prefect and Yang Zhixian drank and feasted almost up to a day, after Yang left, this girl wanted to serve the prefect to wash and sleep, but was blocked by the prefect at noon, stay until the second day at noon, this girl wanted to wake up the prefect, but found that the door was locked as last night, called for a long time without answer, had to let people break in, but found that the window was closed, but the prefect was nowhere to be found"

Chen Qitai's narrative is simple and concise, and the key points are also mentioned, and it can be regarded as not creating difficulties for Yang Jing.

Yang Jing asked the maid, and the answer he got was basically in line with Chen Qitai, the matter was actually very simple, the prefect Mu Zicai and Yang Zhixian drank until late at night, Yang Zhixian left, the prefect closed the door and slept, and the next day no one answered, broke the door and found that the person was gone, the doors and windows were closed, and it was a secret room.

Yang Jing glanced at Song Fengya and Wang Buliu, and then asked, "What do you think?"

Wang Buliu was cautious, and felt that Yang Jing would make Chen Qitai even more embarrassed by asking them for their opinions on solving the case in front of Chen Qitai, so he chose to remain silent.

However, Song Fengya is the eldest lady of the Song Ci family, but no matter what kind of official or prefect you are, after pondering for a moment, she replied to Yang Jing.

"My father said, no one in this world can disappear, the prefect is not in the room, then it must be left, then the problem can only be in the doors and windows, there are many ways to fake the room into a secret room that no one enters, there are many mechanisms on this kind of doors and windows, let's take a look and know. ”

Song Fengya can be said to be in one sentence, Chen Qitai respects Song Ci like a god, so naturally he doesn't dare to ridicule Song Fengya, but just sneers.

Yang Jing looked at Chen Qitai's expression, and already knew that Chen Qitai had said before that it was not the first time he had come to investigate the scene, and after repeated investigations, if there were strange organs in the doors and windows, an official like Chen Qitai should have been found a long time ago.

However, Song Fengya's thinking is indeed correct, and after understanding the situation, Yang Jing only has to investigate the scene.

"Then let's go in and have a look, in order to avoid destroying the scene, let's stay outside." ”

Yang Jing did not name the idle people, but the people from the prefect's yamen naturally did not dare to enter, and Zong Yun and Wang Buliu knew very well the importance of the crime scene, so they did not dare to stick to Yang Jing too closely.

On the contrary, Sun Erniang was very excited about Yang Jing's investigation of the case, and seemed to want to learn Yang Jing's skills from Yang Jing's mode of solving the case, so as not to let Yang Jing catch it in the future.

Because Mu Zicai and Yang Zhixian drank at night, it was inconvenient in the bedroom, so it was arranged in the study.

Yang Jing entered the door and found that the floor was blue bricks, which was not easy to leave footprints, Song Fengya had already gone straight to the window sill, found that the window was closed, and tried to open and close it twice, but there was indeed no mechanism, and there was no rope or anything like anything left on the window, let alone traces left by rope friction.

In addition, the autumn wind has gradually risen recently, and the night is relatively cold, so the window should have been closed, and Song Fengya came to the door again.

Yang Jing was checking the door lock, the latch had been broken, half of it was still on the door, and the remaining half was on the floor.

Yang Jing picked up the half-section of the latch, checked the jagged fracture, and carefully inspected the latch in Zaizai, which indeed matched the characteristics of being broken.

Yang Jing checked the half left on the door again, and found that the middle and tail of the half of the door latch were a little wet, so he pressed it with his fingernails, and the door latch seemed to have been soaked in water, which was a little puzzling.

Yang Jing took the opportunity to look at the floor, although two days had passed, there was a circle of dried water stains behind the threshold, which was a little blurry, but it was still recognizable.

"Did it rain that night?" Yang Jing asked casually towards Yang Zhixian, who thought about it, frowned and shook his head.

Yang Jing didn't ask any more questions, walked around the room, and finally stopped at the temporary dining table.

Because Mu Zicai was temporarily appointed, the official family was in a hurry to drive him out of the capital, so they sent Mu Zicai out before the official document was issued.

Mu Zicai saw that he was about to arrive at Jiangling Mansion, and the people here received the official document, so he prepared a little hastily, and many of the decorations were rushed out in a hurry, and he was not too thoughtful.

There were still some utensils such as dishes, chopsticks, and chopsticks on the table, and in order to protect the scene, even the leftovers were not cleaned up, and there was a sour smell.

Yang Jing looked at the dining table and soon noticed something unusual, it was a shallow saucer with some water in it, soaked in some thin fish fillets that were almost transparent.

"Uncle Shi, what kind of dish is this, doesn't it look delicious," Yang Jing asked towards Yang Zhixian.

Yang Zhixian looked at it, and seemed to remember the scene of drinking with Mu Zicai again, his eyes were a little trance, and he replied after a while.

"This is chilled mandarin fish, the most delicious in August, the chef with a skilled knife cuts the mandarin fish into thin slices, puts it on top of the ice cubes, dips it in the sauce, is tender and fat, and the most ironed with the wine"

Yang Jing was also stunned when he heard it, he didn't know much about history, and he didn't know that the ancients had already begun to eat yusheng, thinking of the description of the extravagant life of scholars and doctors in literary works, he knew it in his heart, and couldn't help but joke at Yang Zhixian: "Uncle Shi is a good mouthful."

Yang Zhixian smiled, but there was no interface, Yang Jing didn't care, knocked on the plate, and walked to the desk again.

Yang Jing casually flipped through the rice paper on the desk that had not been used much, sat down on the chair in front of the desk, fiddled with the wolf hair on the pen stand, and then walked to the windowsill, looked at the potted plants on the windowsill, and played with the small podocarpus, his eyes lit up, picked up a paper ball from it, unfolded it, and immediately smiled.
