The historian can't write

There was a tall and strong young man sitting in Cui En's room. When he saw Cui Jingxing entering the door, he got up and saluted without any doubt, "Master Cui, next time Feng Zheng was ordered to assist you in handling the case in Linhe County, and another hundred soldiers are stationed outside the city."

Cui Jingxing was astonished, how did Mu Shufeng know that he encountered difficulties in Linhe County?He raised his hand in return, "Master Feng, please take a seat."

Feng Zheng was not polite anymore, "I don't know if the case has any clues?"

Cui Jingxing said: "There are indeed some clues, but Mr. Meng is missing."

"What?" Feng Zheng was stunned for a moment, and then he patted the table angrily. These villains dared to move even the court officials, "Presumptuous!" He got up and was about to go out.

Cui Jingxing stopped him and said, "Master Feng, be safe and don't be impatient. Originally, I was short of manpower here. Now that Master Feng is here, it will be much easier. I have some evidence here. The evidence of Hequling Zhang Yuan's involvement in the case has been conclusive. Please also ask Master Feng Capture him and bring him to justice."

Feng Zheng's anger calmed down a bit, "The case is over?"

Cui Jingxing shook his head and said, "There should be other people involved in the case. To prevent further mistakes, let's arrest Zhang Yuan first."

Feng Zheng nodded, "Is Master Meng's whereabouts?"

Using grave robbers to handle cases is not a serious method, Cui Jingxing decided to hide it for the time being, and said with a normal expression: "Maybe Zhang Yuan knows."

"I'll take people to get them."

After Feng Zheng left, Cui Jingxing turned his head to look at Cui En, and said with a smile, "It's really hopeless, there is no way out, and there is another village." With helpers, he will have no inconvenience or worries in his actions, so the way to handle the case It's time to adjust too.

Cui En was also very happy. Mu Shufeng sent someone, so his young master didn't have to take risks like this. "Master, there is still a while before dawn, so you can rest for a while."

"Yeah." Cui Jingxing fell asleep directly on Cui En's bed, but he couldn't fall asleep after lying down for a while, so he touched the grass leaves and thought about it.

The leaves of grass slipped out of his fingers impatiently, and then hid them in Cui Jingxing's hair.

Cui Jingxing sighed softly and spread his long hair on the pillow.

Feng Zheng led people to arrest Zhang Yuan overnight. He had a secret decree in his hand to do things cheaply, so he searched the Zhang family thoroughly by the way.Cui Jingxing directly interrogated Zhang Yuan in the yamen, but Zhang Yuan refused to say anything, even if the evidence was overwhelming.

Cui Jingxing rubbed his aching forehead. He didn't have a good rest last night, and he was not feeling well. "Put Zhang Yuan in prison first."

"Yes."

Just when Cui Jingxing was about to start with other people, Zhang Yuan suddenly confessed, but this time Zhang Yuan took all the crimes on himself.He explained clearly how to embezzle, how to cover up, and how to murder the special envoy. He even explained how Meng Yin was put in prison, but he didn't reveal that he had other accomplices.

Cui Jingxing didn't believe that such a desperado would be so loyal. Could it be that the person behind him was someone he didn't dare to admit?Or does Zhang Yuan feel that the blade behind his back can save him?Cui Jingxing realized that he had underestimated this case, and Linhe County should not be the only one involved.

Cui Jingxing said: "Master, you go to the death row to pick up Mr. Meng."

"Hey, yes." The chief secretary felt that his legs were weak. This Hequ Ling, who killed a thousand swords, even dared to murder the special envoy. If Mr. Meng died here, they would not be able to absolve themselves of the blame.

Cui Jingxing looked at Zhang Yuan, "You said that these things were all done by you alone. But why did he say that the person who transported the official silver was a servant of the county government when I interrogated the owner of the blacksmith shop that day? Catcher Zhao!"

Zhao Butou knelt on the ground, "This official is negligent of his duty."

"What a dereliction of duty!" Feng Zheng jumped up at the case, he didn't care about himself in the hall of the county government office, he walked over and kicked Catcher Zhao, "Without your help, how could these government officials hook up with the Hequ Order in private? Even if they hook up, will you really know nothing?"

Cui Jingxing said: "As far as I know, Catcher Zhao has been doing his best since he took office, and he has obeyed the discipline of the people below. How could he be dereliction of duty?"

During the interrogation, there was the sound of drumming outside the yamen.

Cui Jingxing looked towards the door, "If it's not urgent, let the drummer come back tomorrow."

The atmosphere here was tense, a yamen servant didn't dare to make Cui Jingxing angry, and ran out quickly, but he ran back after a while, "My lord, my lord, the drummer said that he wants to sue Catcher Zhao."

Cui Jingxing was silent for a moment, then glanced at Zhao Butou, "Let him in."

After a while, a thin young man in ragged clothes came in, and he said that it was a wild monkey, "My lord, the villain's name is Zhang Ergou."

Cui Jingxing nodded slightly, motioning for him to continue talking.

Ye Hou'er continued: "My house is near Zhao Butou's house. A while ago, I saw Zhao Butou's family seemed to have suddenly become rich. I was puzzled, so I paid more attention."

Feng Zheng didn't doubt it. After all, there are many people who are jealous of other people's sudden money these days, and there is nothing wrong with staring at them.

Ye Hou'er said: "I heard about the official bank being embezzled. I thought Zhao Butou was also working in the yamen. Could it be related to this matter, so I asked my wives to visit Zhao's house to inquire about it."

Catcher Zhao suddenly reprimanded: "Who are you? My family has never had you as a neighbor?"

Cui Jingxing frowned unhappily, "Captain Zhao, don't make any noise!"

"grown ups!"

Cui Jingxing nodded to the wild monkey, "Go on."

The wild monkey was startled by Zhao Butou's yell, he searched for a topic for a while, and then continued: "Just yesterday, when my girls and Zhao's were embroidering together, I saw this at his house. .” As he spoke, he took out an account book from his pocket.

Cui Jingxing signaled the yamen servant to bring up the account book, he opened it and looked it over, then looked sharply at Catcher Zhao, "What else do you have to say?"

"My lord! I have never seen this man before!"

Feng Zheng frowned and said, "Press him down."

The facts that happened in the lobby were reversed too quickly, and when the yamen servant was hesitating, the people brought by Feng Zheng had already suppressed Zhao Butou.

Cui Jingxing said: "This ledger has to be checked for authenticity."

Feng Zhengdao: "Let's stop here today, let's go and see Mr. Meng."

"it is good."

Not seeing each other for many days, Meng Yin was physically and mentally tortured in the death cell. He was no longer as vigorous as when he came here, his face was yellow and emaciated, and he was extremely unstable. After seeing Cui Jingxing, he hugged Cui Jingxing tightly and did not let go.

"Master Meng, I'm shocked." Cui Jingxing patted him on the back.

Hearing this, Meng Yin burst into tears, and he hammered Cui Jingxing's back, "The villain can be killed!"

Seeing that Cui Jingxing's face turned pale after being hammered, Feng Zheng coughed dryly and said, "Master Meng, Zhang Yuan and Zhao Butou have been arrested and brought to justice, all that remains is to check the books and see who else is involved in this case." people."

Meng Yin let go of Cui Jingxing, wiped his face, his face was still angry, and he said with red eyes, "Leave the rest to me."

Cui Jingxing knew that Meng Yin hated him very much, and he didn't object, but the other party's current state was really not suitable for handling the case, so he stayed and checked the accounts with Meng Yin.

I don’t know if I don’t verify it. Everyone in the verification room was shocked. This account book not only records the official bank corruption this time, but also the corruption transactions in the past few years. When it came to the yamen servants, there were more than a dozen in total, and the amount involved in the case totaled tens of thousands of taels of silver.

"So much money, where did this come from?" Meng Yin's fear and anger were all gone, only deep surprise remained.

"Registration accounts for the majority." Feng Zheng felt a little headache, "There is a lot of money in the management of mutual exchanges, and there must be a lot of bad debts in Linhe County's criminal cases in previous years!"

Cui Jingxing said: "Although there is no Zhao Cheng's name in this ledger, is it possible that Zhao Cheng, the county magistrate of Linhe County, doesn't know anything?"

Feng Zheng was silent for a moment and said, "I want to search Zhao Cheng's house."

Cui Jingxing said: "This case was reported by Zhao Cheng's son, Zhao Zhen, to Beijing. Even if Zhao Cheng is also involved in the case, his son knows nothing about it, which means that there should be no clues in his family. Let's check Zhao Cheng's past information first. Whereabouts and contacts."

Feng Zheng nodded and said, "I'll send someone to investigate right away."

Cui Jingxing looked at the ledger in his hand.

Suddenly, the door was pushed open, and Zhao Zhen ran in with red eyes, and knelt on the ground after two steps, "Master Cui, it is impossible for my father to participate in it! How could he still go to Momo when he died trying to evacuate the people?" these things?"

Meng Yin was startled, he couldn't bear the shock now, and said in a bad tone: "Even if Zhao Cheng is not involved in the case, he can't escape being involved in so many troubles under his nose!"

Cui En, who had been silent all this time, helped him up, "Right and wrong are judged by themselves, and the adults will not slander Master Zhao."

Cui Jingxing patted him on the shoulder to calm Meng Yin's emotions, then looked at Zhao Zhen and said, "Go back and rest first, I will find out later."

Zhao Zhen wanted to continue talking, but was forcefully pulled away by Cui En.

Such a large pile of old accounts, as long as you have the heart to check, you will be able to find clues. Soon Feng Zheng's people sent back news and found the manor that Zhao Cheng bought in a wealthy county hundreds of miles away. It is full of beauties and treasures, and it is used to receive high-ranking officials and dignitaries on weekdays.

The ironclad evidence is solid, the evidence is conclusive, and the missing accounts have been matched one by one. So far, the Linhe County corruption case has been completely closed, and the final judgment will have to go back to Beijing to wait for the Ministry of Criminal Justice to decide.It's just that other cases involved in this case have to go back to the capital to let the Criminal Department take over.

Soon to return to Beijing, Cui En's mood can be described as clearing the clouds, he rarely happily took Cui Jingxing to the street to buy some special products of Linhe County, "Master, what do you like, let's buy more back home."

Cui Jingxing always felt that there was something missing. He looked absently at the small stalls on the street. He stopped in front of a stall selling clay pots and picked up a cute clay pot. There was a small opening under the pot, which could be used as a flower pot. Basin, "How did you sell this?"

Seeing Cui Jingxing's good looks, the peddler couldn't help laughing and said, "Twenty Wen each."

"So expensive?" Cui Jingxing was a little surprised.

"I bought it." A rough and thin hand handed over twenty Wen.

Cui Jingxing turned his head to look, and it turned out to be a wild monkey, "Now Feng Zheng is looking for you everywhere, and you are still wandering in the street?"

Ye Hou'er smiled indifferently: "I'm leaving here anyway, by the way, Young Master Cui, if you need my help in the future, don't be shy, just go to the casino and ask me about my name, Ye Hou'er." number will do.”

The peddler handed the pot to the wild monkey, and the wild monkey stuffed it into Cui Jingxing's arms, "There will be a time later."

"There will be a period later." Cui Jingxing watched the wild monkey leave, he looked down at the clay pot in his arms, and suddenly understood the omission.

Cui En said: "What's the matter? Master."

Cui Jingxing said: "Based on Zhao Cheng's salary, even with the income from corruption, can he afford to support that manor?"

Cui En suddenly realized, "Zhao Cheng is just a scapegoat?"

"It's not necessarily a scapegoat, but it's a pawn to deceive people." Cui Jingxing said, "Dare to order someone to assassinate the special envoy at will, and have contacts with so many officials on the account book. The status of the person behind the scenes is not low."

Cui En said: "Master Mu is not a fool, he will take care of the rest of the matter."

Cui Jingxing nodded in silence for a moment, even if he wanted to take care of the rest, he would not be in charge, "By the way, Uncle Cui, have you seen Zhao Zhen?"

Cui En shook his head and said: "Zhao Zhen is gone, is he hiding?"

"He doesn't look like that kind of person." Cui Jingxing pondered for a long time, and finally touched the leaves of grass on his chest. He was about to return to Beijing, and this little elf must have left too.
