Chapter 16: The Yamen Shady
However, Lin De was still a little hesitant before making a move, it was not that he didn't dare to kill people, but because in such a peaceful environment, killing a person with a special background like Hu Shushu was likely to bring a series of troubles.
Lin De himself doesn't care, just pat his ass and leave, but Lin Fengjin still has to stay in this academy for a few years, and the Lin family's business is also thriving, and now he has to give up completely, and the price is too great.
Lin Fengjin closed his eyes and thought carefully for a while, but a mysterious smile appeared on his face.
"It's okay, listen to me, according to my plan, just let it go. ”
Now that he has the master to speak, Linde naturally started his actions like a wolf-
From Liu Tietou, Lin Fengjin and the others learned that Hu Shuyi had a hobby, that is, when he was in a good mood, he liked to go to a good place in Canggui County to drink flower wine. What, you said he just took the eighth concubine?
It's one thing to take a concubine, but it's another thing to play with someone else's wife. The concubine can play whenever she wants, and other people's wives have to hit the opportunity, and the latter must be chosen between the two.
As for how to make Scrivener Hu feel good, it was simpler, and he went directly to pay for it, gave him a hundred taels of silver tickets, and entrusted Scrivener Hu to do a small matter, so he was naturally in a very good mood.
Therefore, without much effort, Linde waited on the road at the third watch, intercepted the drunken Hu scribe, and the next morning, some fishermen found the bubbly body of the Hu scribe who was drowned like a toad.
The news that Scribe Hu was drunk and drowned soon spread throughout the county, and at first no one thought of the murder, because the pretence of scooping up the corpse said that there were still more than a dozen taels of silver in the money bag on Master Hu's body, which was a lot.
But then it was rumored that the county magistrate said in a stern manner, suspecting that this matter might be a vendetta or a robbery, but at this time, the Hu family had already reacted. In unison, I said that my lord is a well-known good man, a group of harmony, and it is absolutely impossible to make enemies with others.
There was speculation in the county government that the murderer might have snooped on the secrets of the county government, so he caught Master Hu and forced him to commit murder!
After knowing the news that was closest to the truth, even Lewd Fu was a little flustered, and he was about to pack up the broken package and plan to run away, but he didn't expect Lin Fengjin to still be very calm, just sneering.
Sure enough, the Hu family was still unwilling to remain silent. This time, he simply sent his own son Hu Da Tongue out, knelt at the door of the yamen and cried, saying that he was going home with his father that night, but he found that his father was missing when he soaked urine on the road near where he found the body. Then he searched back and forth, but he didn't think about what bullshit murderers were in the river
The reason for this is twisted and turned, it is obviously a murder case, but the relatives of the bitter lord tried their best to help the murderer cover it up, is this reasonable?...... One of the twists and turns. It's not that a clear-eyed person can't understand it at all, but Lin Fengjin sneered and said the truth, but it was so simple.
Is it true that the county government has the intention to see everything and wants to avenge their grievances? Of course not, and did the Hu family actively cooperate with Lin Fengjin's threat? That is even more ridiculous!
drives both. It's nothing more than two words: profit!
Scribe Hu has been operating in Canggui for several decades, and his concubines have all married eight rooms! The breadth of the house in the family can be imagined, not to mention that there are at least a dozen shops in the county that have his shares, either overtly or covertly, and there are no less than a few hundred acres of irrigated land around the county seat!
When the scribe Hu was there. Naturally, this property is well protected, and if you bite it, you will stab your mouth. But now that the other person is gone, and it is still such a "violent death" method that has not even arranged for the future. Then this property has really become a big piece of fat!
There is no doubt that the first to covet this piece of fat is the county government, because the degree of greed is always proportional to power.
But the county government can't look too ugly, so he directly pulls the property of the scribe Hu over, which is completely out of line. Although there is not much difference between the government and the bandits in essence, they always have to do a good job on the surface, so they have to find a reason to intervene in the Hu family's family affairs-
What better reason to do this than to investigate a case?
When the officials come to the door, they will definitely be the son who is being detained! What is the reason for this? Because after the death of the scribe Hu, his son will benefit the most! What? Do you want evidence? Those officials who have been in the public office for many years can come up with whatever evidence they want.
At this time, there were casual rumors on the market about the adultery of a son and a concubine, and after the old man found out, the crowd like to kill his father in a panic liked to see and talked about the fragrant plot. Soon the whole county was boiling, and the magistrate of the county naturally pushed the boat down the river and asked for public opinion
During this period, if the detainees want to be released, should they give gifts? If they want to live a better life in prison, should they give gifts? If the officials come to the house to collect evidence, do they give gifts? Do they give gifts if they conduct an autopsy? Do they want to avoid being beaten and give gifts when they pass through the court?
Among them, you can go up and down to get oil and water, it can be said that it is everywhere, if it is a county order with a black heart, it will directly treat the family property as stolen goods and confiscate, and it is also a boat to push the boat!
However, it is precisely because Scribe Hu has done (or accomplices) many similar bad things before, so no matter how stupid his family is, they must have heard a lot of related dirty things. So I know that this kind of thing is very cool to watch, but if it happens to my own family, it can only be described as a broken family!
Therefore, this is the real reason why the Hu family is also ruthlessly determined to be "drunk and overboard"! Because if they do this, it is estimated that most of the huge family business will be left behind.
If you really nod and admit the murder, I am afraid that if the real murderer is not caught, the entire family business will be ruined first, and it is not good that the last person to come out to resist the murder is still the Hu family's in-laws! That is the worst retribution!
Lin Fengjin also saw through this, so he was unscrupulous.
However, although Linde succeeded in extinguishing his mouth, he only brought back good news and bad news.
The first piece of bad news is that Scrivener Hu didn't know the person who had asked him to destroy the case file. According to his description, the man was wearing blue cloth clothes, between thirty and fifty years old, not tall, not short, not fat or thin, with a local accent - it, such a person is a lot of people in Canggui County!
"That man is so cunning. After hearing the news, Lin Fengjin groaned.
Linde nodded:
"I pressed him three times, and the confession of the guy surnamed Hu was exactly the same, so the possibility of him lying was very small. ”
"The line is broken. Lin Fengjin said very simply but not depressed: "Then you can tell me the good news." ”
Linde Road:
"The destroyed case file was not really destroyed, but was taken away by the scribe Hu, and this guy habitually made a backup and left a way back for himself. ”
Lin Fengjin finally let out a long sigh, what he was most worried about was that since the clues on Scribe Hu's side had been broken, and that case file had really been destroyed! After the two clues were broken together, the whole incident became pitch black again, and there was no way to start!
"But that old thing is very cunning, and he will be killed as soon as he tells him where he is hiding, so I didn't ask where he was hiding. Lind continued.
Lin Fengjin smiled, as if the question raised by Lin De was a trivial matter, but in fact it was really a trivial matter for him.
"It's impossible for this old thing to put the case file alone, let alone put it in a place where people can find it, so the answer is about to come out, where is the title deed of his gold and silver treasures, we can be sure that we can find what we want there." ”
Then Lin Fengjin took out a silver ticket, stuffed it into the neck of the lewd Fu who was rolling his eyes around and digging his nose in boredom, and said lightly:
"It seems that there are no errand men in the yamen's house, so I want to see that case file at lunch tomorrow, you move faster, because most of Hu Shushu still secretly hides a lot of evidence used to blackmail officials and colleagues, so when his descendants start to share the spoils, it is very likely that these hot potatoes will be burned along with the case file. ”
The smiling lewd man looked at the number of the silver ticket and immediately laughed:
"Master! ”
Lin Fengjin then said lightly:
"Of course, if you don't get back what I want by lunch tomorrow, as punishment, you will have to pay for your own meals within a month. ”
Lewd Fu was immediately a little frightened, and began to snap his fingers:
"A month???I'll do the math, last night my supper was three pots of daughter red, five side dishes, a total of five dollars and six cents of silver, and I will eat four meals a day!! Oh my God, this means that I may pay more than two taels of silver every day, and just for dinner!!Ahhhh
Under the extremely strong pressure and motivation, Lezhan Fu burst out with unprecedented energy, and exerted his skills of abduction and stealing chickens and dogs to the extreme, and as a result, Lin Fengjin got this case file that night.
After this case file was in his hand, it was extraordinarily thick, obviously there were many places that needed to be recorded, Lin Fengjin flipped through it casually, the time span was from the first month of three years ago, until April last year, it can be seen that this thing is in the hands of the government, and it is also an out-and-out unfinished case, which is very tricky. (To be continued......)
