"Lord Wei doesn't need to be polite, Zhu came in a hurry, and he has nothing to do with Lord Wei. Lord Wei, please. This big brother is also invited to get up quickly. Zhu Wenyu gave up his hand while holding it up.

Tang Yun is the first time to see the scene of a local official kneeling to greet the Qincha, although she knows what kind of Qincha Zhu Wenyu is, but after all, she has never seen such a scene, and she doesn't know how pompous this Qincha can be, anyway, in her eyes, Zhu Wenyu is just a hateful little scoundrel, as for whether Qincha is poor or not, it really has nothing to do with her. At this time, when I saw a person dressed in official clothes actually respectfully bowing down in front of this stinky boy, shouting to greet Lord Qincha, I was shocked, but I also really felt weird and awkward, and just stood behind and watched blankly. Although Tang Li did not have a feeling of dislike for Zhu Wenyu, as a subordinate, he also knew that there were some occasions when he could not talk nonsense, and at this time, he was just holding the horse behind and watching.

As Wei Zhengxing stood up, all the members of the entourage stood up one after another, making way for Zhu Wenyu and Wei Zhengxing to walk inward one after the other. A messenger had already come up to take the reins from Nangong Ling and the others. Tang Yun also knew that it was not appropriate to say much about such officialdom scenes, although he was very unaccustomed to it, he did not say much, and only followed closely behind Nangong Ling into the political envoy's yamen.

The guest and host sat down in the main hall, and Wei Zhengxing, the political envoy, spoke first: "The lower officials don't know that Lord Qincha is coming, so they really miss the welcome, and I hope that Lord Qincha will forgive him." Zhu Wenyu put down the tea bowl, waved his hand and said with a smile: "Lord Wei doesn't need to be polite, Zhu came here this time on the order of King Yan to assist in the investigation of the Chengdu murder case, I don't know who should be in charge of this case?" Can you let Zhu know first. ”

Wei Zhengxing hurriedly stood up and arched his hand: "Before Lord Qincha came here, the lower officials had already received an order from the imperial court to welcome Lord Qincha to come and supervise the case. The case was presided over by the procurator Sun Changxu Sun, and the lower officials had already informed Sun that the relevant case files of the case had been prepared, soldiers had been sent to guard the scene, and the body of the murdered Zhang family was also parked in the room for inspection, and the witnesses were taken into custody in the prison to wait for the interrogation of the Qincha Lord, and everything was ready. The official has sent someone to inform Lord Sun, and he will probably be able to come over in another hour. ”

"Lord Wei is really capable, Zhu admires. I just wonder if Master Wei can briefly talk about his views on this case? ”

"The lower officials are stupid, and they really don't dare to be the word 'high opinion' of Lord Qincha. Only as far as the lower officials know, I will tell Lord Qincha. This case is a big case. Zhang's family is a family in Danling County under the rule of Chengdu Prefecture, the family is solid, has been passed down for more than ten generations, hundreds of years, is a local family, the ancestor in the Tang and Song dynasties had served as a member of the second grade of the imperial court. The former Yuan Dynasty avoided disasters and lived in seclusion, but it was a kind and charitable, but a local gentry, quite famous, and few disputes with neighbors, but unexpectedly suffered from the disaster, the whole family of fifty-three people were not spared, all were killed, severed heads and feet, the death was miserable, and the female dependents were tragically thieves**. The thieves also wanted to burn down the house and extinguish the traces, but the neighbors found out that they were fighting the fire, so they fled in the wilderness. There has never been such a bloody case in the history of Sichuan, and it has already alarmed the imperial court, so it will send the Lord Qincha to supervise it. As for the specific details of the murder case, Xia Guan was only in charge of the administration of a province, and the criminal name was under the jurisdiction of the prosecutor Sun Daren, so Xia Guan was not very clear. When Lord Sun comes, Lord Qin Cha will be able to find out in detail when he asks. Although Wei Zhengxing said that he did not host the case, he also gave a general overview of the whole case, and described it very clearly, Nangong Ling had experienced the Qufu murder case, and he had already prepared his thoughts, but he also heard that the color changed, as for Tang Yun and Tang Li, when they heard that so many people died at once, they had already heard it and sighed.

Zhu Wenyu was about to speak, when he suddenly heard a report from a servant: "According to the inspection, Master Sun has arrived." Everyone present hurriedly stood up and greeted the door of the main hall.

Sure enough, I saw a second-grade official dressed in a brocade robe carrying the corner of the robe and hurriedly rushed into the yamen of the political envoy, and came straight to the main hall, and saw that Wei Zhengxing accompanied a person at the door of the main hall, so he knew that it must be Zhu Wenyu, the lord of the Qincha, and hurriedly took a few steps, bowed down in front of the stone steps outside the main hall, and shouted in his mouth: "Sun Changxu, the envoy of the Chengdu Prefecture, visited Lord Qincha Zhu." ”

"Lord Sun, please get up quickly, don't be polite, please speak in the hall." Zhu Wenyu gave up his hand sideways. Sun Changxu's name Zhu Wenyu sounded a little familiar, but he couldn't remember where he had heard it for a while, but he didn't have time to think about it, so he invited Sun Changxu into the house.

Sun Changxu lowered his head and entered the house, and followed Zhu Wenyu and Wei Zhengxing and others into the main hall. Zhu Wenyu turned around, Sun Changxu arched his hand, and was about to see him again, when he saw Zhu Wenyu, he was stunned on the spot, his knees were weak, and he bowed to the ground again: "It turned out to be Engong!"

This "Engong" also made Zhu Wenyu recall that Sun Changxu was the old man he rescued by the frightened horse outside Huaiyin Town, Zhu Wenyu still felt that this person was gentle and polite, and he was a well-educated person, Sun Changxu also had a name that day, but he didn't take it to heart, and he didn't tell the other party's name and surname, Sun Changxu didn't know who the name of the person who saved him was, but he just called Engong Engong, but let Zhu Wenyu slip away quietly unnaturally. Unexpectedly, the person who was rescued that day was still a second-grade local official, a provincial envoy, and a few months later, he actually met again in Chengdu Mansion, which was even more coincidental.

Wei Zhengxing next to him was baffled by Sun Changxu's actions, and Nangong Ling, Tang Yun and others had never heard of it, and when they saw a second-grade senior member bowing down in front of Zhu Wenyu and shouting "Engong", he couldn't wake up for a while.

"Lord Sun, please get up quickly, it's a trivial matter, why worry about it, Lord Sun doesn't have to mind." Zhu Wenyu hurriedly helped Sun Changxu up.

"Engong, that day, Engong saved the lives of the old man and the clumsy Jing but refused to leave his name, which made the old man very grateful. On that day, the old man thought that he was very good at martial arts, he must be a great person, but he didn't expect that he was still the lord of the imperial court, and the imperial court had this young hero, which was really fortunate for the imperial court and the Ming Dynasty. Although Sun Changxu had a lot of good words in his mouth, Zhu Wenyu could see from his eyes that Sun Changxu was indeed sincere, and he couldn't help but be moved in his heart.

"Lord Sun, could it be that Lord Sun and Lord Qincha are old acquaintances?" Wei Zhengxing listened to a rough idea on the side, about Zhu Wenyu had saved Sun Changxu, but he was still confused and a little suspicious in his heart, so he pretended to ask. He wanted to find out what the relationship between Sun Changxu and Zhu Wenyu was, if the relationship was close, Sun Changxu had such a backstage in the court, then he would need to be more humble when he got along with Sun Changxu in the future.

"Yes, we had a relationship a few months ago, and Zhu also wore a pair of cloth shoes sewn by Mrs. Sun herself." Zhu Wenyu said with a smile. These words made Wei Zhengxing and the others even more confused.

"A few months ago, the old man went to Shandong on the order of the imperial court, served as the envoy of Shandong, and went to the post with the clumsy Jing, and galloped wildly outside the city of Huaiyin. Lord Zhu drifted away, leaving no name and surname, and today I was fortunate to see Engong again, otherwise I don't know which young hero saved my husband and wife. Unexpectedly, Engong not only has outstanding martial arts, but also is an important minister of the court, and the emperor is sent to the emperor, and he is really a hero and a young man. After saying this, Wei Zhengxing, Nangong Ling and the others suddenly realized.

"Don't dare, don't dare, Lord Sun is really awarded. Master Sun is a second-class member, but when he took office, he was just an old couple riding in a carriage, with no long things, clean sleeves, and a good minister's demeanor, which really made Zhu admire. "Zhu Wenyu really admires this Sun Changxu from the bottom of his heart, at least he has lived in the palace for so many years, and he has not seen any court officials who are as poor as he wants, not to mention that he is still a second-grade feudal official, if he is a bystander, the official authority of the fourth- and fifth-grade officials is much more magnificent than this Sun Changxu's carriage." I don't know why Master Sun went to Shandong to take up his post, but why did he come to Chengdu again? ”

"The lower officials have not yet arrived in Shandong, and on the way I received an order from the king of Yan, I changed to belong to the Chengdu Prefecture of Sichuan according to the inspection of the yamen, and immediately went to the post, and specially allocated four carriages, sent a lot of fine floppy disks to wrap daily sundries, and sent soldiers to send the old decay to Chengdu, King Yan is so sympathetic to the lower feelings, take care of the ministers, how dare Sun Changxu not give up this remnant body, for the court liver and brain? He hurried to Chengdu to take office, and he came here for more than three months. ”

"Lord Sun's name is known all over the world, he has a good body and a clean sleeve, and he is an example for the court, and the emperor has greatly rewarded him for this, and King Yan also cherishes Lord Sun's name, so he will be so compassionate. King Yan is wise and wise, and he is the pillar of the imperial court and the pillar of optimism. Wei Zhengxing interjected beside him.

"Zhu was ordered by King Yan to come to assist in the murder case, and Lord Sun is in charge of the Sichuan criminal name, I wonder if you can elaborate on it a little?" Zhu Wenyu saw that the greetings were over, so he got to the point.

A total of 53 people were killed, ranging from 80 elderly women to young children for several months. Xia Guan had checked the old files of Chengdu Prefecture over the years, and had never found such a big case, but on the way to Shandong to take office, he heard that there had also been several bloody cases in Shandong, but the details are unknown. The victim of this case is a local gentry, and the local reputation is still good, and it is found that there is no enemy with deep grievances, so he should not be wiped out because of hatred. There are four women's family members first suffered **, and then were stabbed to death by a knife and sword, but from the scene of the investigation, when it was done for robbery, the Zhang family is a local wealthy family, but there is no floating wealth after the case, the soft gold and silver are robbed, the mob also tried to burn the house in vain, but was felt by the villagers, hundreds of villagers met to fight the fire, scared the thieves away, burned several houses, but most of them are still there, the corpses and other remnants were scorched, and most of the rest remained. According to the lower officials, it is true that the thieves robbed the money, ** but the strongman did it easily, and his target should be the Zhang family's wealth, as for the destruction of the house and the burning of the house, he should not want to leave any traces. ”

"Then what does Lord Sun think of the murderer in this case?" Zhu Wenyu listened to Sun Changxu's words in an orderly and well-structured manner, and said in his heart: "This Lord Sun is not only an upright official, but also a cadre, which is really rare." He asked again.

According to the lower officials, this case should not be committed by a local strongman. Judging from the knife wounds and sword wounds suffered by the corpse, the murderer must have been a powerful Jiangyang thief, and there were many of them, at least more than a dozen people. According to the villagers who went to fight the fire, they saw more than ten black shadows fleeing to the mountains and forests, which are about the night clothes often worn by people in the rivers and lakes. Most of the victims were killed with a single sword, and the thieves must have very high martial arts, and they are definitely not capable of being a country gangster. The rest of the clues are still under investigation, the scene has been sent to guard the soldiers, idlers are not allowed to approach, the corpse is put into the room, has not been buried, fortunately in the cold winter, well preserved. This is an important case, and the lower officials have also taken the witnesses to prison, but only instructed the jailers to take care of them, and did not let them be wronged. ”
