Chronicle of Emperor Jing

On the 28th of the twelfth lunar month, Zhou Fuyin received Shen Quan from Jinweiying. When he returned to the Yamen, he tried Shen Quan first, and then issued a signing order, ordering the county magistrate of Dongping County to confiscate the case file of the Haonu wounding case. All the witnesses and witnesses were escorted to the government office.

On the morning of the 29th, people from Dongping County arrived in the capital.

The county magistrate of Dongping County was a middle-aged man. He personally held the file and sent it to his superior's desk. Then he stood beside the Fu Yin's desk and did not retreat, but was always ready to explain his superior's doubts.

"This Liu Fa, have you checked, which mansion is it from?" Zhou Fu Yin asked him after carefully looking through the case files.

Liu Fa was the slave who forcibly bought the land of the Shen family, and it was his subordinates who pushed people to death.

"Xiaozhi is not very clear, but according to his subordinates, they are from Xifeng County. The master's family is the favorite of His Majesty. Let Xiaozhi understand that a small county magistrate like Beizhi will definitely not be able to provoke their master. Home." The magistrate of Dongping County replied in a low voice.

When gods fight, mortals suffer.

The county magistrate would rather he didn't know anything, but he was not the only one who heard these words. These people said so openly in a very arrogant tone in the county hall. Even if he wanted to say that he didn't know anything, Zhou Fu Yin asked a few more people, and he was able to find out the matter.

It was useless for him to hide it, so he told the truth.Anyway, on this matter, he will do what the boss wants, and he will never have his own opinion, so as not to be trapped in this matter inexplicably.

How many courtiers can Your Majesty have in front of you?

Zhou Fu Yin sneered in his heart when he heard this.It is self-evident to whom this is intended.

He meditated for a moment, raised his head, and glanced at his master who was sitting at the bottom helping him sort out other files.

Master understood, stood up hastily, and said, "Proprietor, I'll go to the library to find some old files."

Zhou Fuyin nodded and nodded: "Go."

The master walked out of the lobby quickly, walked to a place where there was no one there, waved to the outside, and a young boy with a very bright appearance rushed over.

The master hooked his fingers, motioned him to put his ear closer, and then whispered in his ear: "Go quietly to the side door of Yongning Hou Mansion, report a letter, and say Xifeng County. Remember, go quietly, don't disturb anyone , take the bounty, remember to share half of it with the old man."

"Don't worry, I'll help you handle this small matter properly." The young man patted his chest and promised that he won this job that would definitely get a lot of rewards.

"Go out from the back office, go back quickly, change your clothes, don't show your traces." The master was a little worried, and told him again.

"Hey, let's go now, little one." The boy cupped his hands to the master, spread his legs, entered the moon gate, and ran to the back office.

The master stood at the door, watched his back go away, then entered a room at random, took a scroll, and returned to the lobby.

In the lobby, Zhou Fuyin had already checked the case files and questioned the witnesses, and was asking people to draw shadows and graphs based on the witnesses' recollections, and was preparing to arrest people.

Shen Quan did the drawing and graphics yesterday, but Zhou Fuyin is a fastidious person, so he definitely cannot listen to Shen Quan's one-sided words. Now that the witnesses have arrived, he will ask people to divide the witnesses into two groups and do it separately. Draw shadow graphics once, and finally put the three pictures together and compare them.

Although the three pictures are described by different people, the final results are similar.

This Liu Fa was about forty years old, with a thin build, a thin beard under his chin, and a mole on his forehead.

Everyone mentioned this mole, Zhou Fu Yin thought, firstly, Xifeng County is far away from here, and secondly, it is this mole that will leave an impression on people, and it is this Liu Fa who was involved in this mole. the real cause of the matter.

Zhou Fu Yin also complained about this kind of fight between gods and immortals, but he was in the officialdom and couldn't help himself.

What's more, there are some things that the emperor doesn't care about, not to mention it's just his subordinates causing trouble, even if the person provokes the trouble himself, the emperor won't take it to heart. If the emperor cares, even if the person didn't do anything, it's still wrong.

Zhou Fu Yin carefully considered the emperor's mind before choosing his current position.

He slowly asked people to draw the shadows, and after the comparison was correct, he finally issued a signing order to send people to Xifeng County to arrest people.

At this time, it has been more than an hour since Master Li went out to tell the servant what to say.

Besides, the young servant, under the order of the master, went to the back office, changed his clothes, rode a horse, and went straight to the Yongning Hou Mansion.

When he came to the door, Wei Yan was still in the palace, Wei Ze had already returned to the mansion, and only the eldest son Wei Minwen was in charge of the mansion.

"My lord, someone from the government office came to report the letter, and only said three words, Xifeng County." The head steward got the news, and immediately rushed in to report the letter.

"I will reward you with a hundred taels of silver and prepare a horse. I will go out of the city." Although Wei Minwen didn't know why the people in the government office came to report this letter, he did know that at such a time, he must rush to the government office. Before getting the person, I found this person.

"My son, should I wait for Lord Hou to come back, or go to Zhongyihou's mansion to report a letter." After all, the son is only ten years old, and he will only be 11 years old after the new year. The housekeeper asked him to handle some housework, so there is no pressure, but this kind of thing, he But I have to worry that the son can't handle it well.

"I'll take people out of the city first, and you send someone to report to your uncle." Wei Minwen shook his head, and led people directly out of his director's place.

With his entourage, he quickly left the mansion, left the city, and ran all the way to Xifeng County.

Over there, Wei Ze received a report from the big housekeeper, so he was naturally worried that he would handle this kind of thing alone, so he chased him out with his personal guards.

"My son, it is indeed easier to go through the official road, but if you take the small path, you can get there faster." The people around him, although they didn't know why, saw that the son was so anxious to rush to Xifeng County , while riding a horse and following him, suggested to get up.

"Is the trail easy to walk?" Wei Minwen was not very familiar with the situation in the suburbs of Beijing.

"It's a small road, but it can actually accommodate a carriage, and we don't have to worry about getting through it on horseback."

Wei Minwen pondered for a while, then ordered decisively: "Change the path, and you will lead the way."

A few of them changed paths, Zhao Shi and the others returned to Beijing from the official road, so they didn't run into each other, but Wei Ze who chased them out later met Zhao Shi and his group head-on.

"Where did Master Zhao come from?" Wei Ze saw a group of people riding horses and guarding a carriage heading here from a distance. When he got closer, he found that the leader was Zhao Shi. .

Zhao Shi's true identity is known to everyone in Weifu, and Wei Ze is no exception.

Although Zhao Shi has now joined the Guards Camp and became Xiao Qi's subordinate, Wei Ze always knows whose orders he is following.

"So it's Marquis Zhongyi, who is going out in such a hurry, where are you going?" Zhao Shi saw him, stopped his horse, and asked with cupped hands.

"Something happened in the farm, I'll deal with it." Wei Ze couldn't figure out his way, and his words were vague.

"It's just right, I was ordered by Lord Hou to go to Xifeng County, and I have to go back to Beijing to report to Lord Hou." Zhao Shibo said calmly.

When Wei Ze heard the word Xifeng County, his heart moved.

"Thank you, Mr. Zhao, for making this trip." Wei Ze said this very sincerely.

They rushed there because they were afraid that there would be a problem there, but Zhao Shi had obviously solved the problem.

"Zhao is also working for Lord Hou, so I don't deserve this thank you from Lord Zhongyi."

"Master Zhao, then this trip, do I still need to rush there?"

"There is a lack of a steward in Xifeng County. If Hou Zhongyi has a suitable person, he might as well fill it up quickly. During the Chinese New Year, there are many things to do, so you don't have to delay things." Zhao Shi swept away all the tails that should be swept away, but After all, he couldn't conjure up a steward of the Wei family out of thin air to fill in the vacancy.

This link, the people from the Wei family went to mend it, which is obviously better.

"If that's the case, I'd better take a trip." After this conversation, Wei Ze had a solid foundation in his mind, so he wasn't so anxious.

After they separated on the road, Zhao Shi continued to drive towards the capital, and about half an hour later, he met the fast-moving yamen servant of the government office.

The two groups looked at each other and passed by without saying anything.

Wei Minwen walked the trail and was the first to arrive at the farm in Xifeng County.

When they entered the gate of the farm, some farmers came to ask if the stewards had been sent from the capital?

These words were a bit random, but Wei Minwen had already ordered him to do so. After arriving at the place, no one talked too much, so although the others were puzzled, they didn't say anything and just waited for him to speak.

"Where's Steward Liu?" Wei Minwen had been the housekeeper for a long time, and he knew the name of the steward at home, so he asked where the steward of the farm was in the first sentence.

The farmers in the village talked in a hurry.

Their words were a bit vague, and people often digressed a lot while talking, and they didn't know where they went, but Wei Minwen listened to them for a long time, and finally heard the mystery from their words.

Guanshi Liu worked for an adult in Beijing, made a fortune, and left the village to return to his hometown.

Once this word is spread, what will other people think?

Honest people probably don't think about anything, but smart people definitely think a lot.What did Guanshi Liu do?Who is this adult who instructed him to do things?There is too much room for imagination here.

Wei Minwen thought about these things for a while, and knew that someone had come to make arrangements in advance.

Although he doesn't know who is behind the layout, he can still tell if it's an enemy or a friend.

Since Guanshi Liu is no longer here, there must be a shortage of people in charge here.

Thinking of this, he glanced at the people who followed him.

The people he saw couldn't help puffing out their chests.

The stewards of the Wei family, like other places, are all a radish and a pit.Listening to the accents of the farmers now, if there is a vacancy here, others will naturally have a chance.

"Sir!"

Everyone shouted, they didn't say it directly, but the meaning in the words was very clear.

This place is a bit far away from the capital, and those who are too young or too slippery are not suitable. Wei Minwen thought about it, and finally chose an old and prudent one, and directly assigned the person.

Then, he led people into the farm and began to check the rooms one by one to make sure that there were no other traces that should not be missed.

Zhao Shi's people had already swept through, so he checked again. After Wei Ze arrived, he sorted things out again.

When the people from the government office arrived in Xifeng County, after negotiating with the county magistrate of Xifeng County, and found out who Liu Fa was and which farm he was in charge of, they had already made all preparations and just waited for the government office to come .

On the afternoon of that day on the 29th, the police from the government office finally came to this farm in Yongning Houfu, and the news they received left them dumbfounded.
