Chapter 187: The Inner Ghost Turned Out to Be Him

Chang Feng stared at Shen Zhou. He didn't believe that Shen Zhou, a master of calligraphy and painting, would take refuge in Li Guang as an internal ghost.

Shen Zhou told an old story: "You know, in addition to the private files of officials, there are also big case files in the file. ”

"In the eighteenth year of Chenghua, Zhu Ji, then the envoy of Beizhen, handled a case of killing an official. The official who was killed was a head of the Ministry of Officials, surnamed Yuan. ”

"I drew a portrait of the culprit according to the description of the servant of the Yuan master's family. Hokujin Fuji arrested a suspect according to the portrait and beheaded him after being convicted after interrogation. ”

Chang Feng nodded: "I know, many big cases in Weili are solved by relying on the portraits you painted. ”

Shen Zhou said: "However, this case seems to be an unjust case!" Last month, Suncheonfu caught an old thief. ”

"The old thief is sick with tuberculosis. When a man is about to die, his words are good. ”

"He voluntarily confessed that he entered the house of Chief Yuan of the Ministry of Officials thirteen years ago to commit theft, and was bumped into by Chief Yuan, and stabbed him to death with a dagger in a hurry."

Chang Feng was surprised: "In other words, the criminal who was killed before was wronged?" ”

Shen Zhou said: "I was wronged." Human life is at stake! I want to find out if the portrait of that year is not like it; Whether the unjustly killed people died because of my brushes. ”

"So I went into the stall two days ago to look for the old portraits in the case file."

Chang Feng asked, "What is the result?" ”

Shen Zhou replied: "The old portrait is exactly the same as the real murderer. I think it was the beginning."

Shen Zhou's words came to an abrupt end.

Chang Feng asked: "What happened at the beginning?" ”

Shen Zhou said hesitantly: "It's not good to say bad things about the deceased, I think it was Wantong who urged Zhu Ji to solve the case as soon as possible." Zhu Ji casually arrested someone to take the blame. ”

Chang Feng asked: "Can the origin of the unjustly killed person still be found in the case file?" ”

Shen Zhou replied: "I can find it." ”

Chang Feng said: "Wrong is wrong." In order to protect the reputation of the deceased, it is not possible to let the grievances be aside. ”

"You go to the Three Law Divisions. Turn the case over and let the real culprit be punished. ”

"In addition, if the parents, wife, children, or relatives of the wrongfully murdered person can be found in the family register. and compensate them five hundred taels of silver. The silver came from the private treasury of Weili. ”

Shen Zhou arched his hand: "I thanked Chang Ye for the person who was unjustly killed." ”

Chang Feng said: "Okay, you go out." ”

After Shen Zhou left, Xu Fatzi rubbed his big belly and said, "I don't think Shen Zhou is an internal ghost." ”

Chang Feng nodded: "He has held a paintbrush all his life and has never participated in power struggles." How could such a person who is indifferent to fame and fortune rely on the eunuchs and frame important ministers? ”

Xu Fatzi said: "There are three people left, who is next?" ”

Chang Feng said: "Ask Wang Miaoxin to come in." ”

Wang Miaoxin, a small national player, is worth the room.

Chang Feng got straight to the point: "Brother Wang, you went to the stall three days ago, what did you do?" ”

Wang Miaoxin replied without thinking: "I'm going to check the secret file of the secret pile." ”

In the case of the Condor Society, the secret file was found by Chang Feng in the ruins of the teahouse. Since then, the secret pile has been stored in the Jinyi Guard's file room.

Chang Feng asked, "Oh? You check the secret file of the hidden pile, do you want to enable the hidden pile? ”

Wang Miaoxin replied: "Exactly! In the first month of last year, the Turpan chieftain Aheima invaded Hamiwei. The imperial court sent Liu Ning, the general soldier of Suzhou, to lead his troops to the west and repelled them. ”

"However, the so-called 'repulsion' is nothing more than eight hundred kills. Turpan's vitality has not been damaged. ”

"In the past year, Ah Heima has been busy fighting with Chijin Mongolia and can't spare his hands to invade Hami again."

"But recently, Nansi's secret stake in the Western Regions has sent back news that Ah Heima has defeated the Chijin Mongols."

"Therefore, I plan to use the hidden stakes of the three tribes of Turpan Zhonghui, Ha Thorn Gray, and Wu'er to closely monitor the movements of Ah Mahei."

"The contact information, hidden identity, and joint code words of the three clans are all in the roster of the dark pile. So I went to the stall three days ago. ”

Chang Feng praised: "Those who do not seek eternity are not enough to seek a moment." Brother Wang is worthy of being a national player, and his mind is really meticulous. ”

The whole court was still immersed in the joy of winning last year's Western Expedition. You're already planning for the next war. ”

"At the beginning, I recommended you to be the right servant and serve as the envoy of Nanzhen, which is really the right choice."

Chang Feng's praise is from the bottom of his heart. Nanzhen Fusi is inseparable from Wang Miaoxin, a person who is good at scheming.

Wang Miaoxin said with a smile: "Chang Ye has a good reputation. ”

Chang Feng suddenly asked: "Brother Wang, what is your relationship with Gonggong Li, the master of ceremonies?" ”

When he asked this sentence, Chang Feng kept staring into Wang Miaoxin's eyes.

Wang Miaoxin replied: "I have seen it a few times." A simple relationship between superiors and subordinates. There is no personal relationship. ”

Chang Feng couldn't see deception in Wang Miaoxin's eyes, only sincerity.

Wang Miaoxin asked: "Why did Chang Ye suddenly ask about my relationship with Grandpa Li?" ”

Chang Feng replied: "Oh, nothing. It's just a casual question. You go down first. ”

After Wang Miaoxin left, Xu Fatzi said: "You shouldn't easily exclude the small national players, right?" ”

"After all, he is a national player in the secluded realm of Sipintong. In terms of intelligence, I'm afraid that no one in our entire Jinyi Guard can match him. ”

"If a person like him wants to lie, he can definitely do it without blushing and heartbeat."

Chang Feng said: "His suspicion cannot be ruled out. But at least there are no loopholes in his words. How so? He is at most thirty percent likely to be an inner ghost. ”

Xu Fatzi said: "There are two more people." Who's next? ”

Chang Feng said: "Call Black Maitreya in." ”

Black Maitreya Zhao walked in to the Buddha. He holds a string of Buddhist beads in his hand.

Chang Feng believes that people who believe in Buddhism have no quarrel with the world. During the Chenghua period, Zhao Xiangfo lurked in the bitter cold land of Wusizang Snow Mountain for ten years without complaint.

At the beginning, there were three thousand households in Nanzhen Fusi, Sun Guishou was promoted by Chang Feng to the right Tongzhi, and Wang Miaoxin was promoted by Chang Feng to the right servant and also served as the Nanzhen Fu envoy. Only Zhao Xiangfo was not promoted in his original position.

Chang Feng smiled slightly: "Zhao Qianhu." What have you been up to lately? ”

Zhao Xiangfo replied: "Back to Chang Ye, recently I have been training the dark pile sent to Annan. ”

Chang Feng asked, "Oh? Annan has been provoking at the border for several years. It is indeed an important matter to have good information on Annan. ”

"By the way, did you go to the stall two days ago for this?"

Zhao Xiangfo replied: "Exactly." New piles are to be recorded in the roster of piles. Otherwise, if people are sent out, they will become kites without identity. ”

Chang Feng nodded: "Hmm." By the way, now our Weili private treasury has a surplus every year. I'm going to raise the salary of the expatriate stake. What do you think? ”

Zhao Xiangfo made a Buddha gesture: "Amitabha, Chang Ye is very good." I have been an expatriate staker, and I know all the sufferings of expatriate stakes. ”

"It's great that you can give them a raise."

Chang Feng said: "Cheng." You go to the accountant and the abacus. Tell him to give the expatriate secret pile a three-percent salary. ”

Zhao Xiangfo thanked him and left.

Xu Fatzi said: "Yes, there is another vibrating word, and the reason is sufficient." There is one last one left, and I'll call Gao Wenze. ”

Gao Wenze, who was in charge of the 100 households, entered the duty room, his eyes flickered, and he seemed to have something on his mind.

Chang Feng asked: "Gao Baihu, why are you sad?" ”

Gao Baihu said: "There is something strange, I forgot to tell Chang Ye you." ”

Chang Feng became interested: "Oh? What's up? ”

Gao Baihu told this strange thing.

Jinyiwei stall room is divided into three stall areas: A, B and C.

The roster of hidden piles in charge of the Fusi of Fangnan Town, District A, and the enemy intelligence collected over the years.

The officials and nobles in charge of the Fusi of Fangbei Town in District B are private.

Area C stores the Qin case files handled by the Fusi of Beizhen over the years.

Two days ago, Black Maitreya Zhao asked the Buddha to enter the stall room, saying that he wanted to add his name to the list of dark piles.

Gao Baihu unlocked the door of the stall room for Zhao Xiangfo and let Zhao Xiangfo in. He himself sat in the outside of the stall room.

Coincidentally, a fat chrysanthemum cat raised by Gao Baihu ran into the stall.

Gao Baihu remembered that the fat chrysanthemum cat hadn't eaten lunch yet, so he called it back.

The fat chrysanthemum cat didn't listen to him, and went straight into the depths of the stall.

Gao Baihu left the outside room and looked into the stall room. saw Zhao Xiangfo standing in Area B.

If it is to add a name to the roster of dark piles, Zhao Xiangfo should go to District A, how can he stand in Area B? Zone B is where officials' private records are kept.

Zhao Xiangfo saw Gao Baihu looking at him, and smiled awkwardly: "I haven't entered the stall room for a long time, and I went to the wrong place." ”

Speaking of this, Chang Feng frowned: "He is an old flying fish in the brocade guard, how can he not even distinguish between the three stalls?" ”

Gao Baihu said: "Master Chang, don't worry. There's something even weirder! ”

Chang Feng asked, "Oh? What's up? ”

Gao Baihu replied: "At the end of the day, the tea room in Weili gave me a cup of tea, saying that I wanted to try the tea before the rain just this year." ”

"I was just about to drink it, but I happened to be full of and went to Gongfang."

"When I came back, I saw the fat chrysanthemum cat I raised, licking my tea."

"Tea that cats have drunk, people can't drink. I chased away the fat chrysanthemum cat and spilled the tea. ”

"After about two moments, the fat chrysanthemum cat convulsed at my feet, foaming at the mouth, and whimpering!"

Chang Feng was surprised: "Someone wants to poison you?" Why didn't you say it earlier?! ”

Gao Baihu smiled bitterly: "I thought that the fat chrysanthemum cat was playing around and went to the Liubu Yamen across the street to eat the food bait mixed with rat poison. ”

"I didn't take it seriously, so I buried the fat chrysanthemum cat."

Chang Feng sighed: "This unlucky fat chrysanthemum cat! Most likely, it died for you. Where did you bury it? ”

Gao Baihu replied: "It's buried under the begonia tree outside the stall room." ”

Chang Feng said: "Yes, this time we have to give a cat an autopsy." Fat Xu, you go and call Daoist Zhang to the bottom of the begonia tree. ”

Daoist Zhang resigned for ten years, but he didn't resign in the end. Now that there are thousands of households, they are still in charge of autopsies.

Chang Feng followed Xu Fatzi, Zhang Daoshi, and Gao Baihu to the bottom of the begonia tree.

Xu Fatzi used a shovel to dig up the cat's corpse.

The cat corpse has stinked, and the corpse is overflowing.

Daoist Zhang covered his nose: "Autopsy is my daily routine. The cat's corpse is really a little nun's first encounter in a sedan chair. ”

After speaking, Daoist Zhang took out a scarf and covered his nose. He also took out the set of household belongings that gave people autopsies.

Daoist Zhang first stabbed the cat's corpse with a silver needle, and the silver needle did not turn black.

He said: "It seems that I didn't eat an ordinary poison such as Heding Red. ”

After saying that, he broke the cat's mouth with his hand again and looked at it.

It didn't matter what he saw, he was shocked: "It's actually an extraterritorial strange poison?" ”

Chang Feng hurriedly asked, "What strange poison?" ”

When he asked this, Chang Feng saw that the teeth in the cat's mouth were green.

Daoist Zhang did not answer, but took out some powder and soaked it in a bowl of water. He pulled out a cat tooth with a small pair of pliers and threw it in the water.

The green cat's teeth entered the water, and they began to gurgle and bubble.

Daoist Zhang stood up: "Master Chang, I can determine what poison is in this unlucky cat." It's a snowy poisonous green aconitum! ”

"Green aconitum is a flower. Grows in snowy regions. After grinding into powder, it is a strange poison that can take human life, and it is colorless and tasteless when dissolved in water. ”

Chang Feng gasped.

Gao Baihu saw that Black Maitreya Zhao Xiangfo went to the stall B area where he shouldn't have gone.

On the same day, someone wanted to poison Gao Baihu. Fortunately, the fat chrysanthemum cat was thirsty and drank poisoned tea for him.

Daoist Zhang said that this poison is a strange poison in the snowy region. Zhao Xiangfo has been lurking in the Usizang Snow Mountain for ten years.

The inner ghost gradually became clear, it turned out to be him!

Chang Feng lowered his voice and instructed Xu Fatzi: "You go to the teahouse immediately." ”

Chang Feng returned to the duty room, ready to interrogate the tea room that delivered tea to Gao Baihu.

Unexpectedly, Xu Fatzi went for an hour.

An hour later, Xu Fatzi went and returned: "Master Chang, the general secretary said that the teahouse has not been on an errand for two days. ”

"I went to the tea house. His wife said she hadn't seen him for a day or a night. ”

"Did this teahouse abscond in fear of crime? Do you want to go into the sea to catch paperwork? ”

Chang Feng shook his head slightly: "No need." The emperor asked us to return Li Dongyang and Xie Qian's innocence before tomorrow morning. It's too late to go to the sea to catch the papers. ”

"The inner ghost is a person who is proficient in assassination and secret work. It's not hard to make a teahouse disappear into thin air. ”

Xu Fatzi said: "You mean, the teahouse has already made that person die?" ”

Chang Feng said: "Nine times out of ten. ”

Xu Fatzi suggested: "I think the ghost inside must be Zhao Xiangfo." Can't you arrest him and go to the big memory recovery technique? ”

Chang Feng smiled bitterly: "People have always made great contributions to the country. We don't have evidence, we just suspect it. ”

"Punish him, if he is wronged, won't it chill the hearts of the old brothers in Weizhong?"

Xu Fatzi said: "What should I do?" ”

Chang Feng asked: "Fatty, do you think I have treated Zhao Xiangfo badly in the past few years?" Does he have a grudge in his heart? ”

Fat Xu sat down on the chair: "Ahem." How do you say that? If you don't promote Sun Guishou and Wang Miaoxin, you won't treat Zhao Xiangfo badly. ”

"Originally, they were all thousands of households. If you have promoted a grandson or a king, but you have not promoted him, you have been treated badly. ”

"I'm afraid of comparing people to others. People are more angry than people! Can he have no resentment in his heart? ”

Chang Feng said: "I didn't promote you either." Why don't you have a grudge? ”

Xu Fatzi said: "I am like an idle official in the brocade guard. If you have nothing to do, you can sneak away and go to Yihong House to taste new goods. ”

"I haven't suffered much for Jinyiwei over the years. Besides, I still have a duke to inherit. It doesn't matter if you rise or not, there is no resentment in your heart. ”

"Zhao Xiangfo is different. People have suffered a lot for the imperial court in the Wusizang Snow Mountain! ”

"That place is said to be so cold that you can half of it. When you go out to, you have to bring a-beating stick. ”

Zhao Xiangfo returned to Weili, and he was a thousand households for nine years in a row and was not promoted. It's strange if you don't have a grudge! ”

Chang Feng said: "You're right. I can't expect everyone to be indifferent to fame and fortune. ”

Fat Xu asked, "What now?" ”

After pondering for a while, Chang Feng said, "I'm going to come and scare the snake." ”

I recommend my eldest brother's courtyard book "Courtyard: Don't mess with me, I just want to be an idle fish". The courtyard is classified as a large fine book with nearly 10,000 yuan, and the quality is harder than my hemorrhoids. If you like the courtyard book, you should definitely not miss it.
