The first work of the imperial prison

"Woow - woof woof - woof woof -"

In the school field after the fight, the voices of the people faded away, and it was quiet and peaceful, except for the dog, who was still unsatisfied, running around in a pink gauze dress, very excited.

Ye Baiting and Qiu Suqing were silent together.

Knowing that this is the masterpiece of the twins, Ye Baiting, as an uncle, has to help round things up: "...Although the color is too pink and the skirt is too elegant, it is still a bit childlike. After a long time, it is also kind of cute?"

Before he could finish his sentence, Gouzi was charging too hard, he didn't stop suddenly, his feet slipped, and his body staggered, but it controlled it with its tenacious life instinct and brave physical fitness!It didn't fall over!

This is the posture of control... The tongue is slanted to one side, the eyeballs are staring out of the white side, the claws are crazily digging, the height is lowered and the body is lowered, and the pink and tender skirt directly becomes a mop.

Ye Baiting: ...

Xuanfeng, how can you be so dishonest!

"It's pretty cute."

Ye Baiting hadn't figured out how to straighten out this messy scene, how to make up nonsense, when he saw the unchanging face of hatred and understatement.

He couldn't help but look at Gouzi again, Gouzi was already squatting on the ground, scratching the roots of his ears with his hind paws, his skirt was open, and his posture was extremely unsightly: "You call this... cute?"

Qiu Yiqing's complexion was extremely pale, with a calm expression of "my sweetheart insists on flattering me, what can I do?"

Ye Baiting: ...

I can thank you.

Qiu Yiqing beckoned, and called a Jinyiwei over: "Beizhen Fusi lost today, hemp rope, floor tiles, weapon curling blades, manpower for sweeping and sweeping, replacement costs, General Dog was frightened... Let the secretary make a list and send it to him. The Ministry of Punishment demands compensation."

"Yes!"

Ye Baiting looked at the back of the little soldier and admired him in his heart. He Yiming came here full of scheming, and he didn't bully anyone. Instead, he was bullied severely and had to pay for things when he returned. Isn't it aimed at me and reported directly to the work unit, is it shameful?You didn't even have the chance to resist, and it was too late...

What Qiu Yiqing wants is not the sesame seeds and mung beans, he just wants to let everyone know that Beizhen Fusi is not a place where you can come and go whenever you want, and you have to make the Ministry of Criminal Affairs uncomfortable and He Yiming embarrassing .

The twins' broken twine...not hurtful, but highly insulting.

"Let's go," Qiu Yiqing quickly arranged something, ordered someone to pull the dog down to take a bath, and turned to Ye Baiting, "Go back and wait for Shen Jiang."

"Ah."

The two left side by side from the school field, one left and one right, very close together, Ye Baiting smelled the smell of Qiu Yiqing's body, a slight smell of sweat, wrapped in dust on the ground, faintly bloody and murderous, not very unpleasant smell, very sense of presence Strong, this smell... He also smelled it on his brother-in-law.

He remembered what He Yiming said, and frowned slightly.

"Don't pay attention to the ignorant words of ignorant people."

Chou Yiqing came back a little late, and he didn't hear He Yiming's words, but he could guess, he shouldn't be too clear about the usual methods of this kind of people. .

"The blade in our hands is a sharp weapon to face the enemy and a weapon to protect our own people. As a weapon itself, we are more sober and cautious than anyone else. As law enforcement officers, we need to take on more and hope to be empowered. More trust - I know you're soft and good at heart, but you need to remember not to worry about things you take for granted."

Ye Baiting was startled.

Law enforcer... He was a little confused, whether the three words Qiu Xunqing was referring to himself or someone else, but he knew that Qiu Xunqing was reminding him not to trap himself.

The social civilization continues to develop, and the social system has changed several times. This place is different from the era he lived in. For example, the class here is obvious, and it is not very friendly to women. , Gangs also have their own rules, and the attitude of the court is a little subtle, as long as it is not excessive, it is rarely enforced vigorously and suppressed by force.

Ye Baiting thought, this may have something to do with the social form and the scale of productivity. There are not so many scholars, not so many officers and soldiers. The places that cannot be reached need to be filled by other non-governmental organizations, and everyone needs to work together.

The policy issued by the emperor, the promotion and implementation of hundreds of officials, and the implementation of the imperial court are more of the merits of enlightenment. Grasp it little by little, manage it little by little, start from the present, gradually stabilize and expand, and it will always affect the world and let the world. become different.

The current Dazhao has done a very good job.

Ye Baiting reminded himself again that he was just a coward, he didn't have the ability to be a saint, and he didn't need to take the responsibility of a saint.As long as he does his job well, handles every case well, and does his best to make the darkness less, bring comfort to the victims, and punish and deter the wicked, even if he can promote the development of this civilization a little bit, it is worthwhile.

He lives in this era, and the Dazhao belongs to him as well as to the people of the world. If everyone is working hard, the world will be different.

Ever since he came here, his thoughts have never changed. This time, he suddenly thought, if what He Yiming said, Shizhou had killed people, how should he face it?He found that his heart was not seamless, and he also had fears, such as facing such a situation.

Yesterday when his brother-in-law came to Beijing and was talking in the room, he could hear his brother-in-law's killing intent towards He Yiming. In this book, I never thought of the follow-up explanation to my sister and brother-in-law, and I had nightmares at night.

But now...it seems a little relieved.

If something happens that he doesn't want to face, he only needs to stick to his heart and do his own job well, and everything else has his own law.There is no need to give up the family relationship, and the truth will not be changed by the family relationship. He just needs to be himself and have a clear conscience.

He Yiming can't threaten him.

Seeing that Xiao Zuo didn't speak for a long time, Qiu Xunqing pulled his shoulders and looked into his eyes: "Trust me?"

Ye Baiting nodded: "I believe it."

Chou Yiqing: "There are some things that are not convenient to tell you now, but what you are worried about has never happened and will never happen."

Ye Baiting was startled: "You know I'm thinking..."

Qiu Yiqing rubbed his head: "Don't think wildly."

Ye Baiting is really a little curious now, he has no right to know, it must be a very important secret, it may be related to the emperor, or even the safety of the country. Is there anyone to help him, walk with him, brother-in-law here... How much is involved?

He raised his head slightly, his eyes were slightly round, and the bottom of his eyes was clear and clear, like a lake reflecting the moonlight, making people want to see if he could hold this bright moon in the palm of his hand.

Qiu Yiqing squeezed his hand: "Go back to the room and wait for me? I'll come right after I take a shower."

Ye Baiting almost didn't realize it: "Huh? Now?"

Qiu Yiqing also found that his words were ambiguous, but he said everything, so naturally he would not take it back, and even slightly bullied him, lowering his voice: "Don't worry, A Ting, everything you want will be given to you in the future, um ?”

Ye Baiting: ...

What time is this, you can shut up.

In the Nuan Pavilion, when the food was served, Shen Jiang came back, and Qiu Yiqing also tidied herself up, coming over with a little dampness, full of energy.

A few people didn't talk much, let's eat first.

The case is very important, and the body is also very important. Only in good condition can we persist in working for a longer time. What is the point, they will never get it wrong.There is no wine on the table, but the delicious food comforts people's hearts. After a meal, the stomach is flattened, and the spirit returns without much talking.

"bring it on--"

The food on the table was put away, the small kang was wiped clean, and the new clue file was put on the table. Shen Jiang swiftly opened the small whiteboard, charcoal pencils, and prepared everything one by one: "Let's start!"

"You are not here during the autopsy, I will come first."

Ye Baiting was the first to speak: "The two victims fell from heights this time. One is from the fifth floor and the other is from the sixth floor. The height is not too high. The time of the fall is very short. There are no special wind directions or obstacles. If I did not pay attention to the adjustment, It is difficult to make a big change in the posture in the air. Yu Wenzhang was lying on his back when he landed, his cervical spine was seriously injured, and his arms had almost no damage to the bones except for the skin scratches on the landing. The person on the railing stretched his hands forward, probably trying to pull or push something—"

He reminded Shen Jiang: "When Jin Yiwei is surveying and searching the surroundings, he needs to search carefully. Is there such a thing that the deceased may have flown with his hand when he fell. It must not be big, otherwise others will find it and deal with it. Unremarkable."

Shen Jiang nodded, and wrote down in the small notebook: "Understood!"

"Yu Wenzhang's internal organs were severely injured and bleeding, which is a general manifestation of falling from a height. There are no other abnormalities in the internal anatomy, no toxicological reactions, and no suspicious things have been found, but..." Ye Baiting recalled the scene in the room at that time, "He went up to the tower because he wanted to For those who read, there are tables and chairs in the room, why is the book on policy theory not on the table, but on the cabinet?"

If you don’t have a chair, you want to stand by the cabinet and read?

He intuitively felt that it was impossible. The deceased had a long-term study plan, and it was convenient to read upstairs when he was tired. The study and the rest were planned, so what was the matter standing on the cabinet?

If it wasn’t put by the deceased, it could only be—there was a second person in the room at the time, and this person moved the book.

Is there any need to move this book?Ye Baiting only remembered that the book was very thick, and he couldn't finish reading it in a few days.

Qiu Xunqing: "The clue given by the eyewitnesses is that Yu Wenzhang went upstairs to study after lunch, but soon went downstairs again, went to the yard to change a book, and went upstairs again."

So did he want to change it himself, or did he change it because there was someone in the room at that time, and because he was concerned about this person?

This slightly earlier time crossing requires attention.

Shen Jiang opened his little book: "I asked, the four people who were talking on the fifth floor at that time, their meals and chatting time, there was a full hour, including Yu Wenzhang eating, going upstairs, and going downstairs to exchange books. , the whole process of going upstairs again, Gao Jun, Hu Anju, and Zhang You all went out separately, Mr. Geng Yuanzhong and Geng sat for a full hour without moving his buttocks, but he came in a little late at that time, and was the last of the four Arrived... Judging from the timeline, no one can rule it out, but the most suspicious thing now is Mr. Geng who arrived last and didn't leave halfway?"

"There are also railings, which are too thin and narrow, difficult to stand on, and easy to slip. I took people to try it a few times, and it is not convenient to stand on it with force...Compared with the results of the young master's autopsy, the deceased was pushed down, and it was better than him jumping by himself." It could be very big down there."

Ye Baiting nodded: "...the next is the deceased Huang Kang. When he fell to his death, his body was in a prone position, his hands were shattered, and there was obviously a 'holding' movement. The deceased should have a clearer consciousness at the time. 'Drunk' is slippery, doubtful."

Shen Jiang: "But three months ago, it was the middle of winter, the snow was thin and the ice was thin. The traces found at that time said that there were indeed footprints on the edge of the roof, which looked like slippery feet."

"In the twelfth lunar month of winter, the north wind is cold, and the deceased was drinking on the roof alone," Ye Baiting looked at the clues on the table, "Even if you don't want to be with others, can't you find a private room to warm the house? Go to the roof to enjoy the cool breeze, what are you planning? "

Shen Jiang patted his thigh: "Yes, this Huang Kang is not a romantic and elegant person!"

"If you meet someone whose identity is sensitive, or what they want to say is very sensitive and you need to avoid suspicion, this behavior is very reasonable," Ye Baiting reminded Shen Jiang, "The commander said that after reading the menu and wine list of the day, Definitely not for one person.”

Shen Jiang's eyes were burning: "So there must be a second person present upstairs today!"

Ye Baiting thought for a while, and asked: "Among the clues we can find, the last person who saw Huang Kang, did you say anything unusual about this person?"

Shen Jiang shook his head: "The errand of the restaurant, and some of the guests in the lobby have seen him, and they all said he was normal, and didn't find anything unusual... What did the young master find?"

"The autopsy results are similar to Yu Wenzhang's. The internal organs are ruptured and the fractures are severe. They are extensive injuries caused by falling from a high place. The stomach contents have been damaged for too long, and the stomach was damaged when it fell. It cannot be accurately inspected, but the color... It's kind of weird."

Ye Baiting handed the autopsy grid to Shen Jiang: "It's a slightly bright yellow color. It doesn't look pathological, it's more like stained. I was suspicious, and I checked his esophagus and teeth carefully. Its esophagus is also the same color. The inside and both sides of the teeth, including the tongue coating and the inside of the lips, all have this obvious yellow color. Obviously, there is a very special thing in Huang Kang's food that is very easy to stain, but I checked The menu brought back by the command envoy did not point to..."

"Xiao Er and some guests in the lobby, and everyone who has seen Huang Kang, didn't notice his abnormality. Then he probably ate this food after he went upstairs-the person who went to the appointment knew that he liked it. brought it to him."

Shen Jiang touched his chin: "I ate it on the spot when I brought it here, it seems that I don't like it normally..."

The blue eyes of hatred are deep: "Do you have to share what you eat on the spot? It doesn't seem good to eat alone."

Shen Jiang immediately understood: "The person who went to the appointment that day, the suspected murderer, must have this kind of yellow in his mouth! We just need to visit and see who has yellow lips and tongue coating that day? Such an obvious color , will definitely be seen, unless he pretends to be dumb and doesn't speak!"

Ye Baiting approvingly said, "Not bad."

After the corpse finished talking, Shen Jiang raised his hand: "Then let me talk about the general information I found. It is more convenient to sort by year—"

He wrote down the words 'four years ago' on the small whiteboard, and pressed the names one by one: "The deceased Huang Kang was brilliant, recognized by almost everyone, and a high-level existence, but he had a bad temper. He is very proud, and he is very sharp in dealing with people and dealing with things. It seems that no one is paying attention to him, and everyone doesn't care much, because he does have the capital to be proud of his talents, but when the results of the final exam came out, he was ranked in the bottom row, which was really shocking. Everyone was surprised by the eyeballs all over the place. He didn't react at all. An An accepted the ranking smoothly, and then sent officials, and it was very popular... and he had a very temper. Not to mention other things, How could he have no emotions at all when he did so poorly in the exam? Could it be that he got a fat job and felt secretly refreshed, worried that the opportunity would be snatched away?"

"It's not impossible," Ye Baiting lowered his eyes and thought, "This person is proud of his talent and has a bad temper. Does he have any minor problems?"

Shen Jiang nodded: "Yes, when you see people ordering dishes, you are proud of your talents. That's for ordinary people. It's different when you see noble people. He can break his brows and bend his waist. I seem to be very happy to do so."

"So maybe this is what he's after?" Ye Baiting narrowed his eyes slightly, "Achieving talent and fame, working hard in scientific research, isn't it just to become a superior person and work with the superior person? Since there is a chance to get a fat job and achieve it in one step, why? Want to give up? But he passed the exam like this, ranked at the bottom, and still got a fat job..."

That's the problem.

The imperial court has its own system for appointing officials, and there is also an order of priority. Even if Huang Kang has won the Jinshi and ranks as the Queen Mother, he should not immediately send officials and return them to the fat poor. Is there an exchange of interests in the middle of the operation?

And once some things start, once some sweetness is tasted, you will not be able to stop. This was the case four years ago. What about other years?Was there anything like this last year?The case they are taking over now started four years ago, but did things really start happening four years ago?Will it be sooner?

Ye Baiting's eyes pondered, and he looked at Qiu Yiqing.

But Qiu Yiqing was not in a hurry, and tapped his knuckles on the table: "Continue talking first."

Shen Jiang nodded and continued: "Four years ago, He Yiming and Gao Jun participated in the exam. He Yiming's talent is not particularly outstanding, and he can see the past. The exam results are in line with the usual results. What is suspicious is that Gao Jun is different. He usually does not have good grades, but this time his luck in the exam is very good. Adjutant."

"And our chief examiner for this year's exam, Mr. Geng Yuanzhong Geng, four years ago, he was in the same position as Gao Jun. He was an adjutant who assisted the exam. He has sufficient qualifications and a calm personality. Last year's exam was directly promoted. Originally, it was not suitable for the same person to be the examiner for the two terms, but this year, Enke was added, which is quite special, and by coincidence, Mr. Geng was re-elected."

That is to say, Geng Yuanzhong has something to do with the three major exams before and after. Four years ago, he was the assistant examiner, and last year and this year he was the chief examiner. He is the most familiar and the most convenient to operate everything.

After Shen Jiang finished speaking, he made a new line on the small whiteboard and wrote the word "one year ago": "Last year, Yu Lianhai, Yu Wenzhang, and Hu Anju took part in the big exam. We all know the results. After failing the ranking, Yu Lianhai lost his temper and became a civil servant for others. The superior was Geng Yuanzhong, and Yu Wenzhang was about to fight again. The outside world didn't respond to Lianhai, and he didn't remember him deeply. He didn't look very good, and his talent was not obvious Well, it’s a pity for Yu Wenzhang. Many people don’t believe the result, thinking that he shouldn’t fail the exam. However, some people say that his character is too rigid, too rigid, and easy to break. It may be different to make some friends, but Yu Wenzhang himself may not think so, he has always been very self-centered."

"Hu An lived in the Hanlin Shu Jishi, and Yu Lianhai was very dissatisfied with him, saying that he was not worthy, and the outside world seemed to think that he was not worthy of virtue, and his literary talent was not enough, but he just got on, and it was stable after a year. Gradually, there will be fewer. Hanlin Qinggui, no one dares to provoke outside, and now he has mixed up to help with such an important matter as the big exam, who dares to say that he has no literary talent?"

"Last year's big exam, both He Yiming and Gao Jun wandered away. It seems that it has nothing to do with all of this, but both of them are outstanding in their official careers. One hides his secrets and has good hands and eyes, and the other has an excellent family background and is good at making friends. Gathering banquets are very popular among students, and there are many people who associate with them, and Hu Anju is one of them."

After Shen Jiang finished drawing two lines and talking about everyone, the only one left empty was Zhang You who had just taken the big exam this year: "He has nothing to do with the previous two big exams, he only took part in this year, and he is a relative of Mr. Geng Yuanzhong and Geng Geng." , but he is... I just met him once, he is quite shrewd, but his mind is not on the right path, and his talent is not very good. He is 22 years old this year. According to the habits of the children of aristocratic families, he only started to take the imperial examination at this age, which is obviously late. In the past few years, it is said that he has been seeking a teacher, and it is not clear whether he has known and interacted with other people in this case."

After the names are listed on the small whiteboard, and the relationship lines between the characters are drawn, the eyes are immediately clearer. These names are no longer just names, but have a three-dimensional impression.

On the surface, it looks normal, and there is not even much interaction, but what about secretly?Have you ever done any business transactions, exchange of interests?

Combining the previous events, not only Ye Baiting thought so, Shen Jiang also had a hard time not thinking this way: "The big exam... don't let anyone here make trouble for you!"

"I went to adjust the examination papers that were sealed four years ago and found Gao Jun's answer papers."

Qiu Yiqing said slowly: "The handwriting comparison is no problem, it was written by him himself, but the habit of using words and the style of writing are very different from the past, the deviation is very obvious, I can be sure that the questions on the paper must not be He answered it himself."

It is basically certain that there is cheating in the big exam, but whether this is a single case or many cases, I don't know.

No one asked under the window for ten years, and became famous all over the world in one fell swoop.The scientific research, the appointment of officials, has been on the rise since then, the future is boundless, how rare it is, once the opportunity soars, some people are impatient, they will have crooked ideas, some people buy, some people sell, and the market will form.

But every big exam, the supervision will be very strict. If you want to do it on a large scale, you need a very powerful middleman. This middleman must be familiar with the rules and know how to operate. Can completely keep a secret.

Who... can do such a thing?

The author has something to say: No one asked under the window for ten years, and became famous all over the world in one fell swoop. ——Gao Ming, "Pipa Story"
