Chapter 103: Fishing in troubled waters

"Youth breeds hope, youth breeds a better tomorrow."

"The fiery youth is as colorful as flowers, and the fiery youth is as brilliant as poetry..."

Song Boxian's face is black at the moment, and it is the first time that he has been found in Qinglou.

And this opening remark, which was like a manuscript, made Song Boxian almost applaud along with him.

"Old cousin, are you sure you brought me here to investigate the case?"

After Lou Zaixing finished applauding, he looked mysterious: "Investigating the case and entertaining are not wrong, how about it, old watch, call one for you?" ”

The corners of Song Boxian's mouth trembled, and he looked at Liu Zixi, who was watching the show on stage with interest, and then said in a low voice: "You sister want me to be gagged off?" ”

Lou Zaixing laughed and leaned into Song Boxian's ear: "This Qinyuan Building is famous for many programs in Qinhuaihe, and most of the people who come here are here to watch the show, and if you give a ticket money, buy a cup of wine and tea, etc., you can mix until twelve o'clock at night, and the ticket money also includes lunch and dinner in the Qinglou, which is called a good deal." ”

"What the hell does this have to do with my investigation?"

Lou Zaixing squinted at the stage, and said to himself: "Oh, the private room on the third floor above at one o'clock..."

Song Boxian looked in the direction of Lou Zaixing's finger.

"That private room, but Xie Wenhui's..."

Song Boxian's heart moved, and he looked at the private room carefully, which was no different from the other private rooms upstairs.

"I told you before, the noble circle, that is a whole circle, although some of the nobles do not know each other at all, and some are very familiar, but they are inseparable from a whole;

It doesn't matter if you are a prince or a hereditary son, as long as you are a nobleman, then there are not a few people in this circle who can know you;

Although each noble is his own small circle, he still can't escape overall;

Don't look at the appearance of Sven and polite, but in essence, that guy is a Sven scum, and in their circle, there are mixed evaluations of him in private. ”

Song Boxian felt that his old watch was really a capable person, so he said: "What do you mean, Han Juan was killed by Xie Wenhui?" ”

Lou Zaixing frowned: "Although there is no direct evidence, the people in this circle have their own opinions, in private, who doesn't understand what is going on?"

is a hereditary noble, and the people in the family are high-ranking cabinet officials, if you want to kill a little person with no roots and no roots, isn't it easy? ”

Although Song Boxian himself is a member of the Xungui family, when he heard this, he couldn't help but gasp: "Zhongzhou will check it out?" ”

Lou Zaixing's mind turned: "Are you confused? Do you think he killed someone, and he can really get a head to Middle-earth? ”

Song Boxian nodded, although Xie Wenhui has a background in his family, but the customs system of Daming is unique.

Song Boxian frowned, he knew that although the customs in this era were subordinate to the Ministry of Household in terms of taxation, but...

"Old watch, maybe you're wrong..."

.

When Xu Jiaying received Song Boxian's call, she was about to interrogate Xie Wenhui by surprise, and immediately asked Song Boxian to hurry back to the stronghold after learning the news.

"Han Juan's hometown, which prefecture in Central Continent do I remember?"

"Java Prefecture, Java..."

"I was reminded to think of this point today," Song Boxian said with a serious face: "Our Ming customs system is its own faction, although it is subordinate to the Ministry of Households, but it is directly responsible for the cabinet;

In other words, if, after Xie Wenhui killed someone, he cut off his head and transported it to Java or other places, would it be established? ”

"I know what you're trying to say."

Xu Jiaying took a deep breath and had a solemn expression: "Xie Jingdong is the assistant minister of the cabinet, and it is not a problem for him to directly intervene in the customs, and it is understandable to go from the customs, but,

If you want to hide things from the customs, not to mention their interior, you can easily do it with two factories and one bathroom, if I were Xie Jingdong, I would look for other people, not inside the customs. ”

"In the name of two factories and one guard, it is more than the customs cow." Wei Xinlan interjected.

Song Boxian was deflated when he heard this, but he still said: "What if, Xie Wenhui didn't send the head out, but buried it at home?"

Or..."

"We have also considered this point," Xu Jiaying frowned: "This is actually the key point of the whole case, if the head cannot be found, then this case is a dead end, which is also the reason why the Shangyuan County police can't solve the case." ”

"Why don't you torture that guy."

Xu Jiaying immediately shook her head and objected to Wei Xinlan's proposal: "Although the above issued an official document to thoroughly investigate the case, it did not clearly tell us that we can exercise our power to that point, and Xie Jingdong's identity is not ordinary. ”

Song Boxian touched his bare chin: "Old Wei, how about we go to Xie Mansion?" ”

.

"Xie Wenhui is just the second son, and Xie Jingdong's eldest son, Xie Wenguang, is the commander of Yingcheng County, Kyushu Prefecture, Yingzhou."

"He's such a hereditary noble?"

Wei Xinlan pursed her lips: "The Xie family has been very smart since they beat their ancestor Xie Xiance, don't look at Xie Xiance is a military general, but in the later stage, he is outstanding in the treatment place;

After following Wei Guogong and them to pacify Jiaozhou, the political affairs in pacifying the rebellion in Jiaozhou were very powerful, and let me tell you, Xie Wenguang, he was really admitted to Guozijian, and after graduation, because of his outstanding grades, he was directly assigned to Yingzhou as a county magistrate;

Judging from the information I checked earlier, he has been a prefectural magistrate in Kyushu for 7 years, and if nothing else, it is time to be promoted this year. ”

"Prefect?"

Wei Xinlan shook his head: "According to the rules, he is the prefect, but you also know who his father is, that is, he will be transferred to the ministry as an official, which is also an easy and ordinary thing." ”

Song Boxian remembered what Lou Zaixing told him at this time: Xungui, it's not so simple, if you are sure that you want to wade into troubled waters, you must be ready to fight back...

While speaking, he has arrived in front of the Xie Mansion, except for the two housekeepers and the second son who were taken away, the Xie family is still only orderly, after all, this kind of noble house, in addition to the big housekeeper, there are other housekeepers in charge, and there is no chaos.

While getting out of the car, Wei Xinlan said casually: "I heard that this Xie Wenhui's current wife is from Zhancheng Mansion, and his family is still the county magistrate of Zhancheng Mansion." ”

Entering the Xie family again, there were not only Song Boxian and Wei Xinlan, but also four Tiqi of the same team.

"Why are you people here again?"

Wei Xinlan's eyes narrowed, but he frightened the second housekeeper who was now in charge of the Xie Mansion, and he remembered the experience of the two big housekeepers vividly, and the barbarian in front of him was unreasonable, and he was about to slap people at every turn.

Seeing this, Song Boxian took a step forward and said in a deep voice like Wei Xinlan: "Come here, this mission asks you, your son-in-law, have you been going out a lot in the near future?" ”

The butler quickly shook his head.

Song Boxian thought for a while, then asked him to lead the way in front and went straight to the courtyard where Xie Wenhui was.

Entering the courtyard gate, the two horsemen were instructed by Wei Xinlan to stand on both sides of the arch, and went straight in and out, leaving the four of them into the courtyard, and according to Song Boxian's instructions, they began to carefully look for traces of soil in the courtyard.

However, it has been three years since I thought about the case, and there may be no clues at all.

Song Boxian and Wei Xinlan walked forward and happened to meet Xie Wenhui's current wife, Li.

Song Boxian stepped forward and arched his hand politely towards the Li family: "Mrs. Xie, I'm glad to meet." ”

Li reluctantly nodded.

Song Boxian said again: "I don't know where Mrs. Xie's house is?" ”

Li Shi didn't speak, and her maid said, "My wife is from the Zhancheng Mansion. ”

"Oh... Li Yuanqing is Mrs. Xie's father? ”

Li Shi was stunned, and then nodded.

Song Boxian said again: "Mrs. Xie should know that we are from Jinyiwei, so there are also some means in terms of news, recently I heard that the brother of Zhancheng Mansion said that Li Yuanqing and Li County's order seem to be a little unclean, I don't know if Mrs. Xie knows about this matter?" ”

"You're talking nonsense..."

Li was very anxious, but before she could speak, she was preemptively refuted by the maid beside her: "My lord is innocent and honest, and he doesn't even accept gifts from those manufacturers during the New Year's holidays. ”

When Song Boxian heard this, he didn't speak, and suddenly he had a flash of inspiration, but he had a plan, so he nodded: "Well, we will find out about this matter, but what you said doesn't count;

By the way, Mrs. Xie, I don't know when you and Xie Wenhui met? ”

Li Shi said softly: "I met my husband three years ago. ”

"I heard you've only recently married?"

"Yes..."

Saying that, Song Boxian arched his hand towards the Li family: "Mrs. Xie forgive me, I know that Mrs. Xie is pregnant now, so I don't worry too much about Mrs. Xie, please take care of yourself." ”

After finishing speaking, Song Boxian walked around the courtyard as usual, and then after learning that there was no progress, he and Wei Xinlan left with someone.

"Old Song, do you have a frown?"

"Go back and say..."

.

"Going to Champong?"

When Xu Jiaying heard this, her brows furrowed: "You are alone?" ”

Song Boxian nodded: "The goal of our small flag team is not small, and, if my guess is right, our small flag team, or the entire hundred households, should have the possibility of being monitored." ”

"So what?"

"I'm new to Jinyiwei, and now it's the New Year, I can use the name of tourism to quietly go to Zhancheng Mansion to investigate the case, as long as I have eyebrows, I will tell you immediately."

"You said that it is possible to be monitored, if you go to Champong, what if you really find a clue, what if there is danger?"

Song Boxian nodded and took a deep breath: "I'll find someone to accompany me, and then, I need Team Xu to give me the supporting documents for this investigation and all the things I need." ”

Xu Jiaying looked at Song Boxian for a long time before saying, "Why are you working so hard?" ”

Song Boxian thought for a while: "For the Xu team to be promoted, for Lao Wei to become a small flag or a general flag..."

When leaving, Song Boxian secretly said to himself: "It's also for myself..."
