All rivers and mountains are safe

Lu Ciheng knew what he was talking about just by looking at it.

About a month ago, the Fang family in Linjiang County in the west of the city lost a seven or eight-year-old son named Fang Zhishu.

Fang Zhishu's father was a scholar who did not pass the exam, and later opened a private school in Linjiang County, and became a private school teacher.

Fang's father is kind-hearted, and he never refuses students who want to study in the private school. Even children from poor families are treated equally. The school fees are very low. Go to school first, and then hand it in later.

Such a great act of kindness has gradually made the private school famous in Linjiang County, but it is a pity that Fang's father has done good deeds all his life, but Fang Zhishu's throat was burned out due to a high fever when he was young, and he became dumb.

The young master of the Fang family was lost, and it was supposed to find someone after the government's review, so as not to make a fuss in Dali Temple, but the Linjiang County government was stuffed with money and didn't want to take care of things, so they kept evading and perfunctory. Punishment, similar things have been repeatedly prohibited. In remote places like Yizhou and Jiangzhou, most cases of this kind are suppressed after being paid, and no one reports them at all, and they will not be taken seriously.

The Fang family is located in the west of the city. Although it is within the jurisdiction of Shangjing, it is the most remote part of Shangjing. The jurisdiction and governance of Linjiang County are not very good.

After Fang Zhishu was lost, Fang’s father almost turned gray all night. The government suppressed the matter of finding someone again and again. Fang’s father was desperate. I haven't seen my child, but I still can't find Fang Zhishu's whereabouts.

The local people and the students who had been taught by him were grateful for his friendship, petitioned one after another, and ran to find someone spontaneously, making a big fuss, crossing the government office in Linjiang County, and directly going to Dali Temple.

"The person hasn't been found yet." This matter involved too much, and Lu Ciheng had a headache for several days, but there was no clue yet. He rubbed the center of his brow, "But there is a little clue, and it has been found An old servant in the mansion resented Fang's family because she made a mistake and was driven out of the mansion. Because Fang Zhishu was young and trusted her, she abducted Fang Zhishu when she was expelled from the mansion and sold it to Fengyue place, later this Fang Zhishu was bought by someone, and we are investigating in this direction, but the person who bought Fang Zhishu has not yet been found out. "

The memorial sent by Dali Temple only gave an overview of this matter. Shen Ming'an didn't know the follow-up development. After hearing Lu Ciheng's words, he thought for a moment, frowned and said, "According to this, Fang Zhishu was abducted." Did your old slave give money to the government?"

"According to her testimony, she just had resentment in her heart and wanted to take revenge on the Fang family. She abducted her. Seeing that the situation was getting worse, she also wanted to redeem Fang Zhishu to settle the matter. But in just two days, Fang Zhishu was bought away."

"The old bustard can't tell who the buyer is. I only know that the purchase is very generous. If it's not an official, it's a businessman. In order to avoid being imprisoned, the old slave girl gave it to the buyer with the 500 taels of silver obtained by the seller Zhishu. The county magistrate wants to spend money to eliminate disasters, and Yu Gaoyi, the magistrate of Linjiang County who was judged, also insisted that he only took her money." Lu Ciheng paused, "But Wei Boran took people to search for Yu Gaoyi a few days ago. Yi's government office found that 2000 taels of silver had been added out of thin air in his mansion. I suspect that the rest of the silver was given by the person who bought Fang Zhishu. This person probably has some power, or has some friendship with Gao Yi. Refuse to say."

"It's also possible that Yu Gaoyi took bribes in other cases." Shen Ming'an's eyes lightened, "No matter what the situation is, the impact of this matter is not very good. If it involves the bribery of officials, if it goes deeper If you investigate, you may find some things about officials protecting each other and enriching your own pockets, the more you investigate, the more involved, but if you don't investigate, there will only be more and more cases like this."

"Secondly, this matter has become a big deal. If no one is found in the Dali Temple within a few days, the people will feel that the court is not effective, and the Dali Temple is useless, and it will be difficult to convince the public in the future."

The two points Shen Mingan said are the most important. On the surface, this matter is that the Fang family lost a young master, but what is involved in the depths is the bribery of officials, collusion with power and public opinion.

Lu Ciheng knew that Shen Mingan brought up this case alone to remind him, he frowned and said: "The problem of bribery is more serious. I have already asked the Ministry of Household Affairs and the Ministry of Punishment to investigate it together, but freezing three feet is not a day. Han, it may take several years to completely eradicate it.”

"Take your time, this is not something that can be done overnight." Shen Mingan rubbed his waist, and said in a gentle voice: "We can start from the taxes of previous years, and the only thing we can do now is to get Fang Zhishu's Closing the case, and making sure no one has corrupted the amount allocated for the construction of the Yizhou levee."

Lu Ciheng nodded, and handed Shen Mingan the soup cup that had been warmed up on the side. Seeing that Shen Mingan was not in good spirits, he ended the topic of the case, "I'll take care of all these things later, and go to Dali Temple in a few days Retry this case, you have some soup first."

He took out a memorial to write a reply, while Shen Mingan drank the soup one mouthful at a time, the oil lamp was more than half lit, Lu Ciheng got up to add some lamp oil, watching Shen Mingan put his hands on his waist, drank a small cup of soup for a long time He didn't finish his drink, so he approached him and asked, "Is the soup not good?"

"No, it's delicious." The older the month, the faster the child grows, and the burden is heavy. Shen Mingan's waist always hurts intermittently. He put down the spoon in his hand and looked up at Lu Ciheng with a sleepy expression. "I still can't drink any more, I want to go to sleep first."

"Okay." Lu Ciheng hugged him into his arms and kissed his slightly moist lips, "You go to bed first, and tomorrow morning we will discuss some problems that arose during the construction of the Yizhou dam. After the measures were settled, I finished writing the paperwork in hand and fell asleep."

Shen Mingan mumbled "En", Lu Ciheng lightly pecked his lips, and licked his sensitive palate lightly with the tip of his tongue. Shen Mingan tried his best to respond with his head raised, his eyes were moist, Gradually filled with water vapor, and lost his mind after being kissed by Lu Ciheng, after his lips were loosened, his forehead rested on his shoulder and he couldn't stop panting and calming his breath.

He was carried to the bed by Lu Ciheng. From sitting to lying down, Shen Mingan still felt uncomfortable. During this period of time, backaches and backaches were common occurrences, and his stomach would sometimes be pushed against by children. He always felt uncomfortable, and he didn't eat much. Mouth will be uncomfortable.

Shen Mingan curled up and lay on his side on the bed. He was sleepy and exhausted, but after lying on the bed for a long time, he couldn't sleep because of the occasional soreness in his waist and abdomen. He closed his eyes and fell asleep slowly during the interval of pain relief. past.
