Chapter 240: Before the Trial, Change Again (1st Update)
Feihuo was relatively "lucky", and the next morning, the Jiangdu County Ya was arraigned for trial of the "theft of tribute" case. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info
The chief judge is Chen Xiangwen, the commander of Jiangdu County, and on the side of the jury is Guo Zheng, the assassin of Yangzhou, and such a big case naturally invited Jiang Cheng, the king of Yue, to jury together.
Gao Liancheng arrived in time, just before the trial, and without too much consideration, he first mixed in with the people watching in front of the county yamen, waiting for an opportunity to observe the context of the whole matter.
Chen Xiangwen ordered the officials to expel the crowd and leave a way for the two officials who were about to come, while he stood at the gate of the county government and discussed something with Feng Lun, the head catcher on the side.
Not long after, the sedan chair of Guo Zheng, the assassin of Yangzhou, was opened from the street south of the county government by dozens of guards of the famous state office, which looked extremely magnificent.
Seeing this, Chen Xiangwen hurriedly rushed to meet him.
"Guo Zheng, the assassin of Yangzhou, is the number two person in Yangzhou, and his status is second only to Jiang Cheng, the king of Yue!" Gao Liancheng had already done an investigation in advance, and when he entered and exited Jiangdu, he naturally wanted to sort out the context of these officialdoms.
"Jiangdu County Commander Chen Xiangwen, it is said that the case is decided quickly, and the iron mask is selfless!" However, Gao Liancheng didn't believe much in this statement, "There are no seamless people in the world, and naturally there are no completely iron-faced and selfless officials!"
He mingled in the crowd and observed Guo Zheng who came over.
Guo Zheng is over forty years old, and although he is wearing an ordinary assassin official uniform, the shoes and other small accessories on his body, such as jade wrenches, are enough to show that this official is worth a lot of money.
"Yangzhou is an important town of the imperial court, and the level of the state assassin history is a third-grade member of the imperial court, but even if it is a third-grade official, this ordinary man will definitely not be able to support this envoy's dress!" Gao Liancheng naturally sees clearly, and it is his habit to understand the character and weaknesses of others.
Chen Xiangwen is very respectful, after all, he is his top boss, and this humble gift is naturally to be sufficient.
Gao Liancheng carefully observed the two people, although they were far away, he couldn't hear what the two were saying.
But he has a small stunt that can tell what the other person is saying from the shape of his mouth.
It's much easier to observe what someone is "saying" than to exercise very sensitive hearing.
From the shape of the mouths of the two, Gao Liancheng could see that what the two seemed to be talking about was:
"The prisoner was caught so quickly, you don't want to arrest the wrong person, this time the prince is in charge, if you catch the wrong person, it will damage your official prestige!" Guo Zheng didn't care about who the prisoner was, he just needed to make no mistakes in the middle.
Chen Xiangwen said with a smile: "When has the lower official misjudged, I have tried dozens of cases in one day, and I have never overturned the case!"
"That's just right, if you make a mistake, be careful of your official hat!"
"These two people are really interesting, such a case is like an understatement!" Gao Liancheng had to shake his head and said to himself: "Brother Feihuo, Brother Feihuo, you are like this, I'm afraid you will be more auspicious!"
Not long after, in the direction of the Yue Palace, a large sedan chair carried by eight people also came.
The number of guards in front and behind was also nearly fifty people, blocking the people along the way, so that the big sedan chair could pass safely.
Chen Xiangwen and Guo Zheng, when they saw the prince's palanquin coming, they waited respectfully at the door of the county office.
After the sedan chair landed, the first person to come down was not Jiang Cheng, the king of Yue, but Jiang Qin, who was wearing a merchant's costume and holding a folding fan.
When Jiang Qin heard that Feihuo had been arrested, he also wanted to join in the fun, and by the way, see what the ins and outs of this matter were.
When he came down, he glanced at the crowd of onlookers, and naturally saw Gao Liancheng, which looked unusual in the crowd.
Jiang Qin regarded himself as having the "art of meeting people", and of course Gao Liancheng's aura was noticed by him.
However, he was not in a hurry to talk, but turned sideways and waited for the person in the sedan chair to come down.
Coming out of the sedan chair was a middle-aged man who looked slightly fat, wearing a light yellow robe, an ink-colored half-arm coat, and no hat on his head, and his hair tied up with a delicate jade crown.
Looking at the age, he is close to fifty years old, and there are a few gray hairs neatly combed in front of his forehead, but he seems to be in good spirits.
This is the Yue King Jiang Cheng, the word Qiwu, is the younger brother of Emperor Pingwu, the real master of Longcheng Jiangdu.
"Lord Wang!" Guo Zheng and Chen Xiangwen bowed down together to salute King Yue, but King Yue only raised his hand, let the two of them get up, and said: "I read the documents sent, saying that it was a case of theft of tribute, and the prisoner has been brought to justice, so let's also take a look at the trial process, this case is very important, and it must be handled carefully!"
As he spoke, he pointed to Jiang Qin next to him and said: "This is a merchant from Jiangning, the heir of a friend of mine, the word is in Qi, and he also wants to observe the trial process with me, although it is not suitable, please two adults, be accommodating!"
Jiang Qin also bowed down and said to the two officials: "Originally, I shouldn't have come here, but I am also a little interested in this case, please make it convenient for the two adults!"
"As soon as the prince's golden mouth opens, there is no reason not to obey, this is not a case of the clan, since Jiang Gongzi is interested, come in with me!" Chen Xiangwen was also sleek and did not object, so several people walked into the inner hall.
Gao Liancheng carefully observed a few people, and was also quite interested in the "Jiang Qin" next to King Yue, "This thing is getting more and more interesting, this time, it seems that I have seen something very interesting!"
At this time, the pony was like an ant on a hot pot, and he finally slipped back to Jiangdu from the camp in order to find the "Shengtian Qianzhuang" mentioned by Feihuo yesterday.
He turned back to the inn on the way, and found out that the two visitors from southern Xinjiang had not gone out, although he was a little relieved, but he had no time to monitor the two at this time.
However, when the pony arrived at the "Shengtian Money Village", it had already been sealed by several officials.
The pony turned over and entered the money house, and there was no body of the boss "Uncle Zhou" mentioned by Feihuo, and all this was confusing again.
After inquiring all the way, he learned that the body of the owner of the money bank had been discovered, and it was taken away by the government in the morning.
The pony screamed badly, and hurried to the Jiangdu County Ya.
"Feihuo, Feihuo, what did you do, it's not good to have one more murder charge!" Xiaoma couldn't help but feel nervous, "It's just a matter of killing people outside on weekdays, and when you get to the official place, this murder is more than good, but you can't run away!" (To be continued.) )
