349. The granary of the lost (begging for subscription)
That's ugly enough.
Yang You asked coldly with a gloomy face: "Lord Wang, you must be happy to offend this official to death, right?"
Wang Qilin said calmly: "Lord Yang, you are the one who died. ”
Yang You waved his sleeves angrily and shouted: "You just need to remember what you said to this official today, Lord Wang, this official can swear again, what you owe this official today, this official will definitely let you pay back with interest in the future!"
As soon as he heard this, Wang Qilin's heart was faintly fluctuating.
A thought crossed his mind.
Xie Toad suddenly asked, "Lord Yang, why do you have to take the jade box from us, what's going on with this box?"
Yang You smiled slightly, he took out the jade box from his arms and looked at it carefully, and said, "This matter has nothing to do with your listening to the Heavenly Prison, you don't need to ask more." ”
The jade box opens.
It was empty.
The joy on Yang's right face suddenly vanished, and he subconsciously shouted at Xie Toad and asked, "What about the things inside?"
Xie Toad smiled slightly, and said, "This thing has been preserved by our Heavenly Supervisor, and it has nothing to do with your Huangquan Prison, so you don't need to ask more." ”
Yang You said sharply: "Idiot! The things in it must not be discarded, this is the treasure that Gonggong Wan wants......"
Subconsciously scolded, he seemed to realize what important information these words revealed, so he hurriedly changed his tone and said angrily: "Take out the contents for me, otherwise Hugh will blame the official for being ruthless!"
Xu Da said thoughtfully: "Father-in-law's baby, Wucao, the thing hidden in it, that thing, the uncle knows! The uncle knows what is inside!"
"What is it?" Yang You asked anxiously.
Xu Dagao smiled incomprehensibly and said, "It's what you think in your heart." ”
Yang You stomped on the ground angrily and shouted: "Don't play tricks with this official! Say, what about the things inside? Take them out for this official!"
Wang Qilin said: "What we got is such a jade box, what is in it?"
Yang You was furious, and he sneered: "Okay, Lord Wang, you just have a hard mouth, let's wait and see, when this prison will put you and your family into the heavenly prison, and then torture them one by one, see how hard your mouth is!"
Xie Toad said: "Lord Yang, there is no such opportunity. ”
Yang You asked, "What?"
The wind blows.
The dead branches of the old trees in front of the door swayed.
Xie Toad's figure disappeared.
Yang Youmeng's reaction came back, he turned around and slapped his palm and shouted: "You want to make ......"
The disappeared man did not appear behind him.
The old Taoist priest appeared out of thin air, his head and feet fell from the air, his long sleeves flicked, and a crimson talisman was attached to Yang You's forehead.
Before Yang You's words were finished, a flame jumped above his head, and then one turned into three, three into nine, and nine flames spread all over his body.
Ninety-nine to one.
He burned into a torch.
The fire was very violent, Yang You didn't react much, he turned around in a panic, and then a pile of ashes appeared on the ground.
The cold winter wind swept through the place like a broom!
Yang You is gone.
It's like there's never been such a person.
Wang Qilin and Xu Dagang reacted, and the two of them shouted almost in unison: "Dao Ye?!"
Xie Toad fell to the ground lightly, his face full of righteousness and awe-inspiring: "The core members of the Xingtian Sacrifice, everyone will be punished!"
Xu Da quickly came up and whispered: "Dao Master, he is a person from Huangquan Prison!"
Xie Toad said strongly: "How can the words of the believers of the Heavenly Sacrifice be taken seriously?"
Wang Qilin already understood why Xie Toad did this.
Yang right can't stay!
The two sides are in flames, and once he returns to Huangquan Prison alive and sees the high-level officials, he will definitely find trouble with Wang Qilin.
So if they want to reduce the trouble, they have to get rid of him.
Previously, Yang You thought that revealing the identity of Huangquan Prison would deter the group, but he didn't know that it would only make him die faster.
In fact, Wang Qilin also had the intention of killing him, and he had this intention since he learned that Yang Zuo had died in his hands, and when Yang You repeatedly threatened him, he strengthened this thought.
It's just that he hasn't killed the court officials yet, and he can't get over the hurdle in his heart.
Xie Toad did it for him.
So Wang Qilin waved his hand to Xu Da and said: "Master Xu, don't say it, Yang You assassinated the predecessor of this official, and this official, as the successor, must kill him, and in the future, this matter will be attributed to this official, and it is this official who is ruthless in order to avenge Lord Yang Zuo and to eradicate the remnants of the Xingtian Sacrifice." ”
Today's events are a lesson.
Officialdom must not be quick for a while, nor can it be as fast as tongues.
If he and Xu Da hadn't offended Yang You in their mouths before, today's events would have gone in a completely different direction.
But he couldn't help it.
Yang You, this bastard, did a lot of bad things in the Xingtian Sacrifice, and he was the culprit who let go of the Six Orders, if he wanted him to be a brother and sister with a friendly face with this kind of person, he couldn't do it.
The teenager is not frivolous, such as brocade clothes walking at night!
But as soon as Yang You died, many mysteries were unanswered, and they had to figure it out on their own.
For example, the whereabouts of Liuling.
Of course, even if Yang You was alive, he would not inform Wang Qilin and his party of these news, and just now Xie Toad decided to do it after realizing this.
Yang You was on guard against them, and he didn't want to reveal the secrets in his heart to the three of them.
The matter of killing Yang You can't be hidden, there is no impermeable wall in the world, and blindly concealing it will attract suspicion from the top.
After Wang Qilin returned to the post house, he made a detailed record of the case and submitted it to the top, of course, he did not say that Yang You claimed to be the Huangquan Prison Inspector, only said that after discovering him, he wanted to raid and arrest him, but the other party was arrogant and wanted to resist arrest, and then he was killed.
He didn't tell Yang You's true identity, the name recorded was still Yang Zuo, and he said that killing him was also to clean up the portal for Tingtianjian.
The news was also widely publicized.
Wang Qilin's purpose is to connect the three groups of people who have been punished recently: lifting people, good people, listening to the former officials of the Heavenly Prison, as long as it is related to the Xingtian Sacrifice, as long as it is an accomplice of the Xingtian Sacrifice, he will be severely punished!
Knock on the mountain and shake the tiger!
His goal was achieved, and the next day after the news was transmitted, Hou Zhaokuo, the head of the Hou Gate, came to the door again.
After seeing Wang Qilin this time, he bowed and bowed, and said: "Zhao Kuan, the grass people, on behalf of the people of Shangyuan Mansion and even Jiuzhou, thank Lord Wang for his feat of eliminating harm for the people!"
Wang Qilin helped him up and said with a smile: "Tianyan Hou is polite, this official still wants to thank you on behalf of the people, if it weren't for you to pass the news to this official, how could this official find my traitor Yang Zuo who listened to the heavenly prison?"
Zhao Kuo was humble and politely pushed with him.
After that, they went into the house to drink tea, and the three cups of tea were in their stomachs, and the conversation was on the subject.
Zhao Kuo said: "Lord Wang, I came to visit you today not only to say goodbye, but also to ask you to sell personal favors. ”
Wang Qilin smiled and said, "Who can say that the Hou Ye will be a lobbyist?"
Zhao Kuozheng said: "Lord Wang, don't make fun of you, to tell the truth, the Xingtian sacrifice has brought disaster to the country and the people, and has done a lot of evil, how Lord Wang deals with them, you shouldn't ask about it." ”
"But my lord knows that people are messing around in the rivers and lakes, and there are always some people who can't get around, and this time I came down to find Lord Wang, not only to plead, but also to tell Lord Wang another news. ”
"The Taizhu Decree among the Six Orders is also hidden in the Shangyuan Mansion, and I know where he is hiding!"
This news was very heavy, Wang Qilin subconsciously stood up and asked, "Is this true?"
Zhao Kuo said calmly: "There is no falsehood!"
"After Yang Zuo and Liuling came to Shangyuan Mansion together, they separated, Liuling disappeared, some went away, and some went into hiding. ”
"What I found out in Houmen is that Taizhu Ling is hidden in Shangyuan Mansion, but not in Fucheng, he is hidden in a township. ”
"Lord Wang knows the skills of the Six Orders, if they concentrate on hiding, they will not be able to find out even if they have the ability to reach the heavens. The reason why Tai Zhu Ling's hiding place was found this time was because someone helped, and he hid in an abandoned old mansion. ”
"There is a dry well in that old house, and there is a hole in the well, and Tai Zhu Ling is hiding in it!"
Wang Qilinhu asked, "Why is he hiding in this place?" Why didn't he go to other cities?"
The Xingtian Sacrifice has been in Jiuzhou for I don't know how many years, they must have a lot of treasures, and Liuling took the money to find a place that can't be supervised by heaven and start all over again.
Zhao Kuo shook his head and said: "I don't know what the reason is, in short, this news is true, the person who sent the news to the next is the person who assisted Tai Zhuling to hide, he was scared after seeing Lord Wang's methods, and wanted to use this news to make meritorious service and be exempted from punishment." ”
Wang Qilin nodded and said, "If the news he sent is true and valid, when I listen to the Heavenly Prison and take this decree, then the official can exempt him from responsibility." ”
Zhao Kuo smiled bitterly: "Lord Wang, I have an idea I want to talk to you about, can you listen to it and see if it is so reasonable?"
"Please. ”
Zhao Kuo sighed and said: "Lord Wang, you have heard that there are many generals and strong men in the Heavenly Prison, so you are naturally not afraid of the Heavenly Sacrifice, but ordinary people such as me dare not fight against them, otherwise who knows when the family will be destroyed?"
"Therefore, according to the understanding below, there is no other way for many people to make deals with the Heavenly Sacrifice Sacrifice, in this case, can the Heavenly Prison give them extrajudicial favors?"
Wang Qilin didn't intend to treat people related to the Xingtian Sacrifice with heavy punishments, Chi Xianhuai, Feng Duoshan and Yang You were all guilty of other big cases, so they were punished for major crimes.
According to his plan, there are two types of people involved in the Xingtian Festival, one is the human trafficker organization or gang, stealing, abducting and selling children and women to the Xingtian Festival or buying disabled children from the Xingtian Festival to make a profit, and these can be dealt with by national law no matter who intercedes.
There is also an ordinary family, there is only a transaction and no business between them and the Xingtian Sacrifice, this kind of person is not so hot, just a little punishment.
In this way, since Zhao Kuo begged to come to the door, he promised to come down, saying that he would definitely give Zhao Kuo this face.
Zhao Guangguang was overjoyed and told Wang Qilin in detail of Tai Zhuling's hiding place.
Taizhu Ling was hidden in the abandoned house of the Lu family in Shanzao Township, Maqiao County, the county seat under the jurisdiction of Shangyuan Prefecture, and the person who sent the letter to Zhao Kuo was Lu Youshan, the current head of the Lu family.
The big seal of the post house in Maqiao County is called Ma Qingfeng, and he practices the art of chasing corpses, according to legend, every time he catches ghosts, he will bring a bunch of corpses, and over time, there are very few people in the jurisdiction to report the case:
As long as it is not a haunted ghost, the common people can more or less endure it, and will leave when the ghost is enough.
But if he alarmed the leprosy, then he brought a pile of corpses to his house, and this kind of thing was more disturbing to the people than the haunting of the house......
Wang Qilin wanted to go directly to Maqiao County to find Ma Qingfeng, but Wu Hanlin asked someone to come to him, saying that he would invite him to dinner, and that he would entrust him with something at that time.
In this way, he couldn't get away for the time being, so he asked Xu Da to release the crow and summon all the big seals of the counties under his jurisdiction to the city for a meeting.
Since he took office, he has been busy investigating cases, and he has not seen any of his subordinates.
Wu Hanlin was still entertaining him in the small restaurant where he was eating, but this time Wu Jingzhan did not come, he had already returned to Pingyang Mansion to continue his appointment.
After a short greeting after the meeting, Wu Hanlin began to put his heart into his heart, he asked Wang Qilin about his recent work arrangements, and then taught him to be good at being a royal being.
"You are an iron lieutenant, and some cases do not need to be done by yourself, you just need to delegate to your subordinates. ”
"Xunzi has a saying, those who fake horses are not good for their feet, but for thousands of miles; A gentleman is not different, and he is good at things. ”
"If your subordinates are not capable of doing the work you have arranged, then you will come out again, why should you come forward when you encounter a case? In this way, in the future, you will become a bronze captain, a silver general, and even a gold general, and then the land under your jurisdiction will be a continent and tens of millions of people, if you still have to do it yourself, can you be busy?"
Wang Qilin nodded and said, "Mr. Ji Mi is educated." ”
Wu Hanlin patted him on the shoulder and said, "This is not education, it's just a little experience from my official career." ”
"What did Mr. Secretario come to me for this time?"
"Oh, there's something I'd like you to bother to investigate. ”
Wang Qilin said: "Although Mr. Ji Secretary instructed, I will arrange for my subordinates to deal with this matter for you when I go back." ”
Wu Hanlin's smile became embarrassed: "I'm afraid you have to go into battle in person this time, it's quite complicated, the matter is related to the granary of the imperial court." ”
"The imperial court has set up 180 granaries in our county, including 50 granaries in the Uehara Prefecture, and since last month, the northern region has suffered a snowstorm that has rarely been seen in decades. ”
"But something happened in one of the warehouses!"
"There's a warehouse inside, and all the food is gone!"
Xu Da was gnawing on the stone and roasting meat, and he asked vaguely: "Master Wu, did you see that the official of the warehouse made the grain away by himself?"
Wu Hanlin said: "Impossible, because before you arrived, there was a fire in this city that burned the granary. ”
"The imperial court said that it would open a warehouse for disaster relief, so I issued an official document to check the grain storage situation in the granary, but a granary caught fire that day. ”
"Then I immediately took charge of the investigation of the case and found out the truth as soon as possible, that someone had exchanged the old moldy grain for this year's new grain in the warehouse. ”
"After finding out the truth, all the people involved in the case will be severely sentenced regardless of their background, and all the people directly involved will be beheaded and their homes will be chopped off, and a total of forty-two heads will be cut off!"
Wang Qilin secretly said that Wu Hanlin was used to being domineering in Pingyang Mansion, and he was still as domineering when he came to Shangyuan Mansion.
He's a fart cool guy in comparison, his wrists are as gentle as a spring girl!
Wu Hanlin continued: "With heavy fines in front, where are local officials who dare to risk losing their heads to steal food?"
Speaking of this, he slapped the table and said suddenly: "I forgot to tell you the strangeness of this, the food I lost is not the food stored in the past, but the food I got from the homes of corrupt officials when I raided their homes." ”
"At that time, a granary was burned down, and the corrupt officials had a lot of grain stored in their homes, and I had nowhere to store it, so I used an old granary that had been abandoned for many years, and it was this granary that had an accident!"
Wang Qilin went straight to the point and asked, "Why is this granary abandoned?"
Wu Hanlin looked at him appreciatively, and his ambiguous gaze made him can't help but lift his anus.
"This granary was built on the site of a mass grave, and the local people were rumored to be a crypt of the dead, and building the granary on it was equivalent to making a rice jar for the ghosts, and the grain that went in could not be taken out. ”
"I have checked the government records, and the granary has been losing grain many times since it was built. ”
He glanced at Wang Qilin and Xu Da, and said, "I have lost people!"
Wang Qilin asked, "Shame on you, who is it that you are sorry for?"
Wu Hanlin said: "One catcher and eight catchers. ”
"Didn't you listen to the heavenly prison?"
"At that time, I didn't listen to the heavenly prison, but it was a matter of the previous dynasty. ”
Wang Qilin asked in surprise: "The granary of the previous dynasty can still be used now? ”
Wu Hanlin nodded and said: "The granary is an important place of the imperial court, all of which are made of red bricks and bluestones, and the cracks are poured with rice milk noodle soup, mixed with sand and slaked lime, which are indestructible, and it is not strange that they can be preserved intact to this day." ”
"You know that I also have cultivation, and my cultivation is good, but I took someone to the granary to look at it, but I didn't find anything strange, so I said that you have to supervise this case personally, and I don't think I can handle it if it is someone else. ”
Grain, grass and people are the foundation of the country, and the grain is missing in the granary, which is a big deal, and Wang Qilin took it happily.
Wu Hanlin said that he would deliver another batch of grain to the granary tomorrow, and let Wang Qilin bring people to live in it when the time came, and then see what was causing trouble.
Today's dinner is mainly to talk about this matter, and after Wu Hanlin finished speaking, he shifted the topic to Wang Qilin's marriage match, and asked him why he had been single until now, and if he wanted to choose one of the girls from the Wu family.
He was really optimistic about Wang Qilin, and recommended it very enthusiastically: "I asked someone to check a few days ago, there are one hundred and twenty girls in our Wu family, if you like to be good at birth, then choose the plump one, if you like the weak wind and willow style, there is a slender body, in short, the ring is fat and thin, and you can pick it." ”
Xu Da smiled evilly: "The seventh master likes to be ripe." ”
Wu Hanlin gave him a rhodium-cesium-beryllium smile: "Xiao Qi is an understanding person, what's so good about a little girl? willful and ignorant, only ripe women have taste, just like eating peaches, ripe peaches are soft, full and sweet, pinch them and go out to sweet water......"
At this point, he suddenly froze.
The girls of the Wu family are the most sought-after goods in the entire Binh Duong Prefecture and even the county, and when they reach the marriageable age, they will be quickly selected by the major families.
Therefore, if Wang Qilin likes to be fat and thin, he can pick it out from the younger generation, but if he likes the ripe ones, the younger generation will not have them.
After counting the entire Wu clan, there is only one woman who is mature and unmarried.
The second elder of Tianwumen, Wu Hanyan.
But Wu Hanyan is practicing the Great Dao of Despair, so he has never married, so he estimates that although Wang Qilin is a young and handsome man, he may not be able to conquer Wu Hanyan's heart.
And Wu Hanyan looks young, in fact, she is older than herself, and she is her cousin.
It's just that Wu Hanyan's cultivation is profound, and after the second elder of Tianwumen died unexpectedly, she filled the vacancy of the elder position, so she can be on an equal footing with Wu Junde, Wu Yeqi and others.
If Wu Hanyan really married Wang Qilin, then he would have to call Wang Qilin his brother-in-law......
This trade cannot be done.
So when Wang Qilin and Xu Da were still waiting for him with anticipation to teach Huang Xue, he suddenly changed the topic: "Come on, come on, today I specially ordered a roast deer whip for Xiao Qi, a serious sika deer deer whip, which is very angry, Xiao Qi eats two more." ”
