The first work of the imperial prison

A young man at the age of the crown may have been vomiting for a long time due to physical illness or other reasons. The place where the bones were found was in Guan Xiuzhu's private house, and it is very likely that his interpersonal relationship overlaps with Guan Xiuzhu...

Also, handsome.

The young master rearranged the newly discovered broken bones and put them together on the mortuary table. There were not many finer clues, but according to the newly discovered bones of the skull, as long as the person's face has no obvious traumatic scars or other factors that affect his appearance, he Must look good.

One by one, Shen Jiang recorded them all: "I have led a team from the commander, and I am stepping up investigations in different directions. Look, there will be results soon!"

This time it really wasn't bragging, combined with the existing information to rule out evidence collection, he really locked a person very quickly, and ran into Beizhen Fusi early the next morning, and took the sleeping young master out of the heating kang. pull up -

"I found the most suspicious one, the one that the household department is currently in Ding You!"

Ye Baiting hadn't woken up yet, looking at Shen Jiang's excited copper bell eyes, he slowed down: "Meng Nanxing?"

"That's right, it's him!"

Ye Baiting hugged the quilt and sat down, frowning slightly, Meng Nanxing...

He and Qiu Xunqing went to the official office of the transfer department, met some people, and asked some questions. At that time, they didn't suspect anyone immediately, and they couldn't lock them in. Because the amount of information was a bit large, and some were true and some were false, they were more suspicious than locking them. What I want to do more is to understand and be familiar with, understand the situation of the household department, the composition of the government office, and be familiar with the temperament and behavior style of the officials.

Meng Nanxing was in Ding You because of his mother's death, so we had no chance to meet him, but he was indispensable in this case. Apart from the relationship with colleagues, we went through the events of the past year together. Jiang Yiqing once mentioned that Meng Nanxing was the most careful person here. People, if there is a problem with what happened last year, if there is a problem with Guan Xiuzhu's death, he may find something, remember something...

He and Qiu Yiqing both remembered this person at the time and thought it was necessary to visit, but they didn't expect Shen Jiang's investigation system to find him first.

"Tell me."

"Meng Nanxing, 21 years old, came to the household department two years ago, more than a year before Li Guangji was in charge of Xiuzhu. Now he is a doctor in the warehouse department, and works in the same department as Li Guangji. In terms of seniority, he is one level higher than Li Guangji. The promotion is relatively fast, his appearance is handsome, and his style is different from that of Guan Xiuzhu. If Guan Xiuzhu is handsome, he is handsome. Speaking of which, the people in the household department seem to be pretty good-looking, except for a few Shangguan, there are The timid Li Guangji, Guan Xiuzhu, Meng Nanxing, and Jiang Yiqing all have outstanding looks, and even Lin Bin, who is not a serious official in the stall, looks good..."

Shen Jiangqing coughed, and came back seriously: "That's too much, I'll continue. This Meng Nanxing is very talented, and he can write well. I checked a few things he has done. He is obviously capable, but he seems to have always been He doesn’t have a sense of existence. When others mention it, he’s “nothing but a pretty face.” I don’t remember what he’s done. He’s also very low-key and doesn’t actively do anything. He seems to be trying to cover up his “excellence”. Not often Gather with colleagues, don't go out with anyone, don't have much contact with anyone, always bored, and always get sick and ask for leave."

Ye Baiting: "Are you sick?"

Shen Jiang: "Yes, I know you will be sensitive when you hear this, and I am also very sensitive. I went to the doctor who consulted him all the year round. The doctor said that there is nothing wrong with his stomach, but his body is weak. It is best to take medicine to recuperate. After one and a half years, it is not easy to get wind and cold so easily. I have to investigate carefully whether I will vomit or not. The doctor said it is not good. Meng Nanxing is really easy to get wind and cold. The symptoms are different. Some people have fever and cough, some people have chills and tremors, and some people have spleen and stomach disharmony, and they will vomit after the medicine is stimulated. He can't guarantee this. Those who got close, everyone said that they had never seen him vomit..."

Because of this, he himself was a little unconfident. Did he find the wrong person?But after cross-comparing all the checked results, only this person is the most correct one.

Could the skeleton on the morgue be Meng Nanxing?

Ye Baiting thought for a while: "If it's caused by illness, and I often can't help vomiting, it's very likely that people will see it. If it's for other reasons, I pay more attention to concealment... It's not impossible for no one to know."

For example, secret experiences that are difficult to tell outsiders, psychological factors, it is more worth investigating, under what circumstances would he vomit?Time environment characters, do you need a specific composition?Why did this happen so frequently, tormenting him for the past two years?

"Okay, I'll look for it again."

Shen Jiang turned over the small notebook on his body, and continued to talk about Meng Nanxing: "Let's talk about the relationship between him and Guan Xiuzhu. Last year, Li Guangji and Guan Xiuzhu entered the household department together. When encountering problems, the old man needs to take care of them. Meng Nanxing doesn't take many people with him. He is not good at communication, and he doesn't have much contact with the two newcomers. He always asks for leave and is not in the official office. No enmity, close relationship or not, he didn't show anything. On Qixi Festival last year, he didn't ask for leave. Like all his colleagues, he was busy until late, but he didn't leave when everyone else left, saying that he still had something to deal with. , it was a little later, and the Ministry of Criminal Affairs suddenly had new clues. The Secretary of the Ministry of Finance called everyone back, and he saved himself and didn't go any further. After that, there was nothing new. There was no abnormality in the case files. Others In his confession, he didn't have a strong sense of presence, he seemed to be silent, he stayed there obediently for one night according to his boss' request, and then he was notified that Guan Xiuzhu committed suicide in fear of crime, and the case was closed... Six months after Guan Xiuzhu's death , He didn't show any abnormalities, he has been quiet, as usual."

Ye Baiting has no hope for the confession recorded in the case file, people are liars, if the skeleton on the mortuary table is Meng Nanxing, these words are unsubstantiated, and he has no chance to refute.

The corruption case broke out. During the Qixi Festival, everyone in the household department worked overtime at first, and then they were all called back. In the end, Guan Xiuzhu committed suicide in fear of crime. That night was really peaceful and quiet, as everyone said. happened?Everyone stayed obediently in their own rooms, didn't go out, didn't see anything?

He didn't believe it.

He asked Shen Jiang: "What about the family situation? What is Meng Nanxing's background, how is the family condition, parents, brothers and sisters, etc., how is the relationship?"

"Meng Nanxing is a dutiful son. He lost his father in his early years and was brought up by his widowed mother. He has no brothers, sisters, and family members. In his early years, his widowed mother relied on her embroidery skills to help others sew and make clothes. That's why he was able to read books. It's serious. He was born in a poor family and lived a very hard life, so he got the top of the imperial examination. After entering the household department, he was very filial to the widowed mother. All the monthly salary rewards and normal gifts were given to the widowed mother. Instead, he did not leave anything... ..."

Shen Jiang flipped through the small book: "His mother died suddenly from a sudden illness, which was a great blow to him. During the funeral, everyone described him as 'lost soul', which is inevitable. This is his only The mother and son depend on each other for life, who knows that the son wants to support but the relatives will not wait..."

Ye Baiting suddenly said: "You said he was raised by a widowed mother?"

"Yes." Shen Jiang flipped through the book, that's all, there are no more clues, "Is this also a suspicious point?"

Ye Baiting shook his head: "Answer my question first, is Meng Nanxing's character a little weak?"

Shen Jiang flipped through the notebook again, and nodded: "At least in everyone's impression, it is like this. He has been studying hard for more than ten years, and he stood out on the road of imperial examinations. It is obvious that he is extremely capable and talented. A few things he has done after he took office He is also very beautiful and good-looking, and the first impression is easy to give people a good impression. If he really works hard, I don't think he will not be seen by others, but he is very low-key, trying to create an ordinary impression. , as if saying 'don't see me', dare not do anything, dare not mess with anyone, and even rarely behave in front of the boss, compared with Jiang Yiqing, it is two extremes... He is afraid what?"

Ye Baiting pondered for a moment: "Meng Nanxing's mother-child relationship... is it good?"

There are no more records in the small book this time. Shen Jiang thought for a while: "It should be good? His mother didn't put all her heart into him and worked hard to raise him up. It wouldn't be so hard. All the money she earned was used to train him. If he doesn't know how to be grateful and filial, he won't dedicate everything to his mother and let her share his glory. This pair of mother and son, the neighbors in the neighborhood can't boast about it. Mother is a good mother, and she has worked hard all her life. It’s all for the son, the son is a good son, he is polite and filial, and he is the role model most often brought up by neighbors to educate their own children.”

Ye Baiting gave her own suggestion: "What others say, you still have to live your own life. I still want to ask you to find out what kind of person Meng Nanxing, a widowed mother, is, what is her style of doing things, and what troubles she has encountered. How did you deal with it, what did you do, what kind of personality is it like..."

Shen Jiang didn't understand: "Ah, why? Aren't we investigating the case of the household department? It would be useful to investigate a deceased woman?"

Ye Baiting's eyes flickered slightly: "Because of the parent-child relationship, sometimes it is difficult to explain things..."

For example, it is often seen that the mother is strong and the son is weak, and the mother is weak and the son is strong. A person's original family and growth experience are the biggest influence and forging on the personality. If the skeleton is Meng Nanxing, Meng Nanxing is dead, and the circle is very closed. The information obtained is limited and may be full of a lot of lies, so what is the interpretation of his behavior?

Knowing his native family, personality characteristics, will always get some ideas for development, and understand what choices he will make when he encounters something, what is hidden in his heart, what is yearning for, what is really escaping... Know With these, some behaviors have answers.

Shen Jiang couldn't think of that much, but what the young master said was definitely right, so he responded decisively: "I'll go and investigate right away."

"Also," Ye Baiting called to stop Shen Jiang, "This matter needs to be reported to the commander. My suggestion to you is to investigate and investigate, keep it secret first, and don't let others know. Meng Nanxing may be dead."

"why?"

"Do it first," Ye Baiting paused, "Ask the commander for instructions. If he also decides in the same way, you will probably understand, but if you leak the news before that..."

"Absolutely not!"

Seeing the cold light in the young master's eyes, Shen Jiangpizi immediately tensed up: "I don't take care of this matter strictly, why do I treat it like a hundred households!"

Ye Baiting looked at him with satisfaction—well, a child can be taught.

Shen Jiang leaned over and said, "Well, young master, you see, I have been in this hundred households for several months. When will you make an effort, there will be vacancies for the thousand households..."

Ye Baiting raised his eyebrows and straightened his eyes: "You don't ask the leader about this kind of thing, come ask me? I look like I can decide your position?"

"That's so similar!" Shen Jiangxin said that this is not the only way I came from a hundred households. "The young master is mighty and magnificent, with a beautiful heart, and his magnificence is unmatched in the past and present. In my heart, he is like a god, the most wise man in the world. , the world's number one eye, the world's number one author—"

Ye Baiting coughed twice and pressed his hand: "Okay, keep a low profile and don't let others know."

Shen Jiang: ...

Had I known hello, I could have changed different ways to flatter my ass every day!

Ye Baiting said again: "Plaguing is useless, it depends on performance, go to work quickly, you have made progress and accumulated credit, will the commander not know?"

"okay--"

Shen Jiang came out to ask about the young master's food and clothing, and asked the people below to take good care of him. The young master's voice is a bit hoarse today, don't catch the cold again, don't be in a hurry when you turn around and command?

While continuing to assign tasks to find out what the young master just explained, he spared some time and personally sent a message to the commander. Since all guesses should be kept secret now, try to let as few people as possible know about it, and don't let anyone hear it. , but the command makes the whereabouts a mystery, it is not easy to find...

Qiu Xunqing is doing something big.

He is following up personally to see how the Ministry of Household Affairs works to relieve the snow disaster.There is no problem with the previous Chen approval. One by one, many people have to go through the hands. It is too conspicuous to start here, and it is too easy to be found out. The problem should still fall on the practical level. What should be done at each step, how many hands should be transferred, who is going through it, and who has the opportunity to do it?

Disaster relief money has to pass through many places along the way. How to operate each pass, how to prevent and protect, and how to calculate the loss and consumption in case of water bandits and bullies?What procedures are required for each handover?Why do others recognize the lack of silver?What to do next?

In the end, it fell on the embezzlement money, saying that Guan Xiuzhu had the audacity to swallow most of the money, and the money must go somewhere, did he spend it or hide it?Flowers, where are the flowers, hidden, and where are they hidden?But because of his death, there is no way to investigate all of this. The case was solved, the Ministry of Criminal Justice and Dali Temple made contributions, and the Ministry of Households cleared away moths, but there is no trace of the money so far, and the word "to be investigated" is over.

This time, the snow disaster relief funds were sent to the Northland, and the Northland...Walake is just to the north.

According to the information he has learned so far, Wala's work is about to start, and Li Xiaoliang seems to have many tasks on him. Contacting He Yiming is one of them. It stands to reason that the flood in the south of the Yangtze River happened last year, and it has nothing to do with the north, but he feels a little subtle. After so many years , I don’t know how many experiences I have experienced at the moment of life and death, sometimes intuition is very important, and it must not be ignored.

He was chasing a silver transportation team in front of him, when suddenly the team stopped, the leader ordered a few soldiers, and started to walk back.

found him?

Qiu Yiqing didn't move, but hung with one hand behind a snow-covered tree. The trunk of the big tree was enough to cover his figure tightly. His movements were very light and subtle, and the snow on the branches There is no whereabouts, and there is no abnormality in the environment.

The leader stopped, looked around, but didn't leave, not because he found someone, but because of convenience.

……

Beizhen Fusi also welcomed a guest, and it was He Yiming, the minister of punishment.

Niu Dayong found Ye Baiting, worried: "What, what should we do? The commander and Shen Baihu are not here. It's just the end of the new year, and some people haven't come back yet. He broke in. We don't have any suitable people to receive him." ah!"

The key is that the guest has a special status, even if he can get someone to receive him, he may not be willing to help if he is not familiar with the young master, but he can still protect him!

Ye Baiting put down the autopsy grid in his hand, and took off his blouse slowly: "What are you afraid of? We know that the commander is not here, and others may not be there. Go and call Xiang Zi'an out."

"Yes!"

"Wait, where is the man now?"

"It seems to be going to the stall?"

Asked where He Yiming was, Ye Baiting didn't go directly to the line, because his current identity... Even with the small card of Jinyiwei, he is still a prisoner who is being reformed. Curve to save the country is good.

He turned around in his heart, and on the way to the stall, he sent a signal to call General Dog.

"Woof!" Gouzi likes to play with the young master the most, so of course he came right away.

Ye Baiting stroked it from the beginning to the end, and it really snored: "You are on vacation today, can you play with me?"

"Woah - woo?"

Ye Baiting covered his dog's mouth: "Shhh - let's go there quietly and don't let others know."

As if the dog understood, he pushed his head against his shoulder, his eyes were black and bright.

When Ye Baiting walked to the stall, there was a quarrel inside. To be clear, it should be He Yiming unilaterally arguing with the documents inside.

The sun shines through the window and falls on the faces of the people in the room. With his hands behind his back, He Yiming speaks sonorously and domineeringly. He acts out aggressively with a polite attitude, and the office clerk is going crazy. It's too late, her face flushed, and she didn't know how to reply to this polite mouth.

Beizhen Fusi has a monthly assessment. Jinyiwei's force is a must, and so are the documents, but relatively speaking, they are not as demanding as going out to do errands. The documents in the archives are those who love to exercise. They are tall and have a waist Straight, the fists are very big, the reason why he doesn't strike is probably not because he can't hit, but because he can hit too much, he is afraid that the opponent will die in the past, and then he will be blackmailed...

The leader of the family was not there, so it was unclear, and he didn't want to be unlucky in the end.

Force cannot be used, and his tongue is not as sharp as others. He Yiming said the same thing, his eyes rolled around, his brain hurt, and he was almost convinced. I really listened to the other party.

After listening to it for a few minutes, Ye Baiting understood that He Yiming was here to pick up the leak this time.

In the past few days, Jin Yiwei has opened the coffin for autopsy, and went to the household department for questioning, all about Guan Xiuzhu, but anyone who is sensitive can detect something. He Yiming was in charge of this case at the time. How could you not pay attention to the news?

I picked this time to come here, probably because I knew that Qiu Yiqing was not there, so I deliberately came here to talk about the signing process. If the stall room signed the seal according to his request and went through the procedures, then Jin Yiwei will definitely ignore this case and should not ask again, Qiu If Xun Qing asked again, he would be slapping himself in the face. Isn't face the most important thing in this officialdom?

This case... there is indeed a problem, and He Yiming has a clear mind.

Ye Baiting snorted, if you call in, you don't need me, if you come to show off your words, then I'm sorry, is there anyone who bullies Beizhen Fusi?I will let you see and see.

"I don't know Mr. He is here, so I'm far away to welcome you."

He stood at the door, where the sun was brightest and brightest, with his hands in his sleeves, and smiled slightly: "Master He, what happened today? He came here to entangle with an ordinary clerk from the Fusi of Beizhen. Don't you like expressing your feelings with high-ranking officials and dignitaries at the chatting banquet outside... don't you like it?"

He Yiming got a headache when he saw Ye Baiting, and his eyes narrowed: "How can you be here?"

"Wang!"

Feeling the malice in his expression, Gouzi gritted his teeth and wanted to rush forward.

Ye Baiting grabbed the dog and stroked its fur: "It's different from Master He, I'm here, of course I like it."

The clerk in the stall saw Ye Baiting as if he was seeing a savior. Speaking of which, the big man who was eight feet tall ran over aggrievedly, pointed at He Yiming, and complained all over his face: "Master, he bullies people!" !"

Ye Baiting smiled reassuringly: "It's okay, you go back and sit still."

The document of the eight-foot strong man immediately regained his spirits, walked back with his head held high, raised his head high when he passed He Yiming, and snorted at him.

He Yiming looked coldly at the interaction between the two just now: "He listens to you so much, does the commander know?"

Between the words, the meaning of threat is implied.

Ye Baiting was not afraid at all, instead he took the opportunity to probe: "You have to ask the commander this question, do you want to invite him out?"

He Yiming's eyes darkened immediately: "Isn't the commander not here?"

Ye Baiting asked back: "Have you inquired about it?"

He Yiming straightened his cuffs: "Is there any need to inquire about this kind of thing? I am here on official business, and there is no one to connect with me. I can only find a spare room by myself. If the commander is here, how can he be so rude?"

Ye Baiting didn't believe a word. If this person hadn't been well prepared, he would never have come like this. His heart turned and a smile appeared on his face: "It was true that I wasn't there before, but when I walked over just now, I heard some movement. came back."

He Yiming's heart turned quickly, thinking of the respect the secretary had shown Ye Baiting just now, and seeing Ye Baiting in broad daylight, Beizhen Fusi can go anywhere and manage everything, and soon he has a new idea.

He sighed lightly, and looked at Ye Baiting with caring eyes: "Brother Wei has already inquired clearly about your matter. It is a good thing to have the opportunity to commit crimes and make meritorious deeds. Brother Wei is usually stricter, but also loves deeply. I am very responsible, everything about my adoptive father is over. I was just too surprised to see you before. I was worried that you had done something bad, adding to the crime. I overreacted at the moment. Don’t be angry. My brother has always been We are all waiting for you to come out, the family is reunited."

Ye Baiting: "Oh?"

Is this a change of routine?Then don't blame me for being rude.
