Chronicle of Emperor Jing

"Master Fu Yin is willing to take over, I wish for it." Wei Yan didn't have the idea of ​​detaining the person in his own hands, if Zhou Fu Yin wanted it, then give it to him.

"Master Hou, the two errands you and I are related to each other, why don't we communicate with each other, what do you want?" Marquis Yongning promised so readily that Zhou Fu Yin decided to sell him.

The person in charge of the defense of today's ancestor worship is Yongninghou. This case of collision with the imperial driver is obviously aimed at Yongninghou. People who are interested in this case of slavery and wounding are also wondering whether it is related to Yongninghou.

Zhou Fu Yin is such a caring person, he will inevitably think a little too much when things happen.

The implication of what he said was that if he found out anything during the interrogation, he would tell Wei Yan in advance.

"That's a good relationship. If there is any news from my side, you can also inform Mr. Fu Yin." Wei Yan understood what he meant.

But in officialdom, seven points are false and three points are true. Whether it is true or false will not be known until then.

"Master Fu Yin, I don't know who the successor is. There is a handover procedure in the humble position, and he needs to sign for it." At this time, Zhao Shi took a booklet and asked.

"Zhao Shi, don't be rude to Lord Fu Yin!" Wei Yan reprimanded him, then smiled at Zhou Fu Yin, "This subordinate has nothing to do, and I hope Lord Fu Yin will forgive me."

Zhou Fu Yin knew in his heart that the two of them were working together, trying to squeeze him out.

He smiled and said, "I didn't bring anyone else here today, so naturally I should sign it."

"My lord, you don't need to be so serious." Wei Yan continued to be polite.

But when he said that, Zhao Shi had already put the booklet on the coffee table, and brought up his pen and ink.

"It's okay. Friendship is friendship, and rules are rules. You can't mess up the rules because of friendship." Zhou Fu Yin was very sensible, and immediately grabbed a pen and signed his name on the booklet.

Zhao Shi took back the booklet, checked it carefully, and then said to the outside: "Bring Shen Quan up."

The guards outside responded and left, and soon Shen Quan was brought over.

"Master Fuyin, please look at it. It's complete, free from injury and disease, alive and kicking. We will hand over the criminals to you. The rest of the matter will be handed over to you." There are some things that Wei Yan can't say, but Zhao Stone can say.

As a subordinate, when the boss is inconvenient to speak or cannot speak directly, it is also one of the important tasks of the subordinate to speak on behalf of the boss.

Zhao Shi has been with Marquis Yongning for more than ten years. After all these years of experience, he is capable of both literary and martial arts. He has also learned all kinds of tasks that he would not do before.

With him around, Wei Yan's work is obviously much easier.

Those who should be interrogated have been interrogated by Zhao Shi, and Shen Quan is left in their hands. Although they can interrogate them at any time, they still have to take certain risks.

An old man has already died in the Shen family. If something happens to Shen Quan under Wei Yan's supervision again, and something related to Wei Yan is found out in the Hao Nu wounding case, then Wei Yan will be covered in mouths. , is also unclear.

Under such circumstances, if Zhou Fuyin wanted to pick up this hot potato, Wei Yan did not object, and Zhao Shi certainly would not object, but felt lucky to be able to let go at this time.

Zhou Fu Yin saw that their handover work was done so carefully and meticulously. He was afraid that if there was any mistake, they would be blamed on them. After thinking about it for a while, he understood the reason. It is indeed more convenient for Marquis Yongning than in the Guards Camp.

After all, in this case, Marquis Yongning doesn't need to be responsible for Shen Quan's safety. Once the prisoner is handed over, these are the affairs of Zhou Fu Yin.

Although Zhou Fuyin wanted to understand this point, he did not intend to go back on his word.

Unless he didn't investigate this case, otherwise, sooner or later, he would have to go through this.

"Master Hou, I still have something to do, so I'll take my leave first." After finishing the matter, Zhou Fu Yin didn't stay any longer, stood up, and said goodbye to Wei Yan.

"Master Fuyin, go slowly." Wei Yan sent him outside the door before turning back.

He sat in the room and carefully read Shen Quan's statement.

After a while, Zhao Shi came in from the outside.

"Master Hou, the interrogation statements of the imperial guards have come out."

He sent a stack of papers to Wei Yan's hand.

"Did you ask anything?" Wei Yan began to flip through the pages one by one.

"They all justified, saying that they did not respond in time."

"Unresponsive?" Wei Yan repeated coldly. Even a three-year-old child would not believe such words. "Investigate all the relationships between these people's relatives, friends, teachers, and teachers."

These people are all well-trained guards. If they really can't react in time, the first book he has to read is probably because the commander of the guards has neglected his duties and neglected training.

"Yes."

"The person who went to fetch the servants hasn't come back yet?" Wei Yan asked about it again after flipping through the stack of papers and finding nothing useful.

"Haven't come back yet."

"Prepare the horse, let's go there."

"Yes." Zhao Shi replied, and hurried out to get ready.

Wei Yan took Zhao Shi and others out from the right door of the side gate, and saw Guard Qian leading several fine horses, waiting on the side of Shangmashi.

Wei Yan took the reins, got on the horse, and led the people southward for a street, then turned to the west of the city.

This servant lives in the west of the city. There are old and young in his family. His family has been innocent for several generations, so he was selected for this position in the Northern Dynasty.

Wei Yan and others hurried all the way through the streets and alleys, and soon came to his house.

His home is in the depths of a narrow street, and his family of six lives in a small yard.It is not easy to live in the capital. His family can live alone in such a small courtyard, which is already considered a pretty good family. Obviously, he is serving in the Northern Dynasty House, which is not without small help for the family.

After all, except for the monthly salary, these servants serve courtiers, and if they serve well, the rewards will certainly not be small.

This family originally had complete parents and children, a hardworking wife, and a tidy house, but now this small courtyard has fallen into panic because two gangs of officials visited it one after another.

"Da Lang went out at the fourth watch today. He said that today is the last day and he can rest tomorrow." The grizzled old man muttered, obviously not understanding why his son went out to work as usual. The assistant officer is about to come to him.

"Master Hou, I have ordered them to disperse to search." Zhao Shi didn't know that this was the case here. The first group of people didn't get anyone, so they scattered around to search.

The people they brought this time also joined the search.

"Old man, don't worry, as long as you find someone, you'll be fine." Seeing the women and children in the courtyard in such a hurry, Wei Yan couldn't bear it, and comforted him.

He was wearing a big cloak, which was bestowed by the emperor, and the golden thread could be seen faintly hidden in his movements, and the black scarf around his neck, without any variegated color, looked like a rich and majestic man. adults.

And when he has a serious expression, he is quite able to hold the scene.

The few people in the courtyard finally calmed down under his comfort. The old man invited him into the house and made his daughter-in-law serve tea.

"My lord, don't worry, this teacup is newly bought and has never been used." The old man explained that he was afraid that he would find it dirty.

"Thank you, old man, it's okay." Wei Yan lifted the teacup, took a sip, and warmed his hands with the teacup.

He sat in the house for about [-] minutes, Zhao Shi, who was busy outside, came in again.

"Master Hou!"

As soon as he spoke, everyone in the room stared at him.Six people, twelve pairs of eyes, all looked at him expectantly, hoping that he would bring good news, even Marquis Yongning was no exception.

Even Zhao Shi was used to storms, so facing the scene in front of him, he felt very stressed.

He straightened his expression and continued, "Master Hou, someone is looking for you outside, please come out."

As soon as he finished speaking, the disappointment of the people in the room was beyond words.

"Old man, I'll go out first, and I'll send someone to report any news." Wei Yan smiled reassuringly.

"My lord, go slowly." The family sent Wei Yan and the others to the door, and they were still standing at the door of the courtyard watching.

"Please go back, don't send any more." Wei Yan smiled and waved at them, but when he turned around, his smile froze.

Zhao Shi led the way without saying a word, and the two of them crossed the side street, came to the main street, walked a little further, and came to a bridge.

A lot of people had already gathered by the bridge, including guards from the Guards Battalion, servants from the Kyoto Government Office, and many idlers watching the excitement.

By the river, there was a thick and strong man, moving his hands and feet up and down, calling for wine, and a yamen servant brought him a jar of wine.

He slapped open the seal, drank more than half of it in one gulp, threw it on the hand of the yamen servant, quickly took off his clothes, leaving only a pair of shorts, jumped into the river with a plop, and plunged into it.

"Master Hou, cross-check all the way, this is the most likely place, and some people said that they seemed to hear the sound in the early morning, so I sent people to inform Zhoufu Yin, and he sent these people to help." Zhao Shi said.

Since Zhou Fuyin expressed goodwill, Zhao Shi will not be lenient when he uses him.

That strong man, who is also a servant of the government office, let these delicate and expensive sons and daughters of the Jinwei camp go into the water at this time of day, such a thing is not even thought about.

The strong man checked back and forth in the river, came up to drink again, and asked someone to fetch a thick rope.

After he plunged down this time, after a while, he floated up and signaled the people on the shore to pull the rope up.

Several yamen servants worked hard for a long time, and a man with a stone tied to his body came out of the water.

Seeing this scene, the idlers onlookers all cried out in shock, and after the shouting, they immediately started discussing.

These people are all nearby residents, they know everything about their family, and they all know each other.

"Isn't this the Dalang in the narrow street?" Someone revealed the identity of that person.

"Master Hou, who will identify the corpse?" Zhao Shi frowned when he thought of the family, women, children, old and weak.

"Let Da Lang's wife come to recognize him." Wei Yan said in a deep voice.

When he saw Zhao Shi, he already had a premonition of this result in his heart, but he still couldn't bear to see this situation.

Thinking of an ordinary family that was originally peaceful and happy, but because of these bad things, it would be a hurricane, and the white-haired person gave away the black-haired person, and anger rose in his heart.

These things, no matter who is instigating behind them, one counts as one, and he will not let it go.

Some things, he thought it was nothing at first. The position of the commander of the Guards Battalion is high and powerful. It is natural for some people to want to fight, but the disputes of these people have exceeded the limit he can tolerate.
