Chapter 435 Agency

The murderer sounds like a pitiful person.

He was a young man in his early twenties, who sang martial arts in the troupe. He looked a bit like Li Zi, both young men with very good skills. His parents died young, and he only had one biological sister. The two brothers depended on each other. His sister was in

She sang in the opera troupe and acted humorously, but she was actually a pretty girl. The brother and sister followed the opera troupe around Shangyuan County for many years and could barely support their family.

A few days ago, his sister happened to go out and was seen by the county magistrate. When this girl was usually naked, without the paint covering her face, she was just a beautiful girl. The county magistrate fell in love with her, so he asked the thugs around him to spread the word.

He wanted to take the other party as his concubine. He often did this kind of thing, and almost never failed. The only difference was the amount of money spent. He felt that the other party had no reason to refuse, not to mention that the other party's profession was still low-level.

It's a pity that the girl is ambitious and doesn't want to be a concubine for the county magistrate. Instead, she wants to marry a good citizen as a real wife in the future. Seeing that she failed to complete the task assigned by her master, the bitch felt uncomfortable on her face and turned away.

Face, he used coercion and inducement, and what he said was very good. He had checked the girl's background, and directly threatened her brother and the troupe. Their troupe has always only operated in Shangyuan County. If she offended

Without the county magistrate, everyone's livelihood can no longer be maintained.

The bastard said harsh words, thinking that the girl should know what to choose, so he left proudly, leaving a day to send a sedan to pick her up before leaving. Who knew that the girl was a fiery person and could not stand threats.

In her heart, she harbored great hatred towards the county magistrate and his scoundrels. In anger, she ran to the gate of the county government office and committed suicide by hitting a pillar.

Before she died, she loudly screamed about her grievances. At that time, there were the most people passing by in front of the county government office. Her death attracted countless people to watch, causing quite a disturbance. Later, it was the prefect government office that

Someone was sent to suppress the matter by force.

The master next to the county magistrate had already left and went back to his hometown for the funeral. The two stewards were having a lively fight, and no one took the matter seriously. The county magistrate thought that he was not guilty and that he was a bastard who failed to convey the message well.

I beat the other party twenty times, fined him three months' wages, and gave the troupe twenty taels of silver as compensation, so I felt that the matter had been resolved.

Who would have thought that his elder brother hated him to the core of his heart. His sister's life was wiped out like this? Even if the blame is put on the loser, it is not just a frivolous 20 yuan and three months' money.

He could make up for the past. The theater troupe was afraid of causing trouble, so they suppressed the brother life and death, and did not allow him to go to the county government office to cause trouble. The brother said goodbye to the theater troupe on his own, and ran away to who knows where. After missing for more than ten days, he

When he reappeared, he was next to the county magistrate's stable.

Probably because he couldn't find a particularly powerful poison, he couldn't kill the county magistrate right away. After only a few days, he had naturally managed to escape, and now his whereabouts are unknown.

The county magistrate's family immediately notified the prefect's Yamen, and sent officials to search for the whereabouts of the murderer. They vowed to see the murderer alive and dead, and never let him go. As for the poisoned county magistrate, the situation has not improved yet, so the manager

He still wanted to keep hiding it, but another steward who was framed by him and suffered twenty blows had already endured the pain and made a comeback. He controlled the other party in one fell swoop and at the same time sent his confidants to deliver an urgent message to the capital.

Even if the little master really can't be saved, someone from the Jingzhong family will have to come to take care of the funeral arrangements. This is not the decision of their two little stewards.

The search for the murderer has been taken over by the Jinling Prefecture. Although no one has been arrested yet, the murderer's whereabouts have been discovered. It must be just a matter of time before the other party is caught. The Jinling Prefecture's uncle Shi, who is the magistrate of Shangyuan County, has no doubts about the murderer's whereabouts.

His experience was also very sad, but at the same time he also felt that the other party was too trouble-making. There was no problem before, it was probably just the master around him who helped him well. Now that the master has just left, he has caused such a big trouble, and he is directly punished

He had brought about a fatal disaster, and all the hard work of his family and elders had been wasted. The prefect of Jinling was extremely depressed.

However, he was depressed because he still had a lot to do.

Now Shangyuan County Magistrate can no longer assume the responsibility of a county magistrate. Even if he can save this small life, it will take a long time to recuperate. With his favored status in the family, I am afraid that his family will definitely

He will be taken back to the capital immediately. Of course, if he cannot save his life, then nothing will matter.

Although the post of Shangyuan County Magistrate is right under the noses of the prefect and governor's yamen, he is still a wealthy and large county official. He can also provide assistance to him, the prefect of Jinling, and cannot fall into the hands of others. At this moment,

For a while, he couldn't find a suitable successor, so he could only send an urgent message to the capital first, asking his family and Shangyuan County Magistrate's family to find a way to recommend someone. Before the new magistrate took office,

He also needs to find a temporary acting county magistrate to support the overall situation. Otherwise, as the new year is approaching, he can't really leave all the government affairs of Shangyuan County to a few officials and servants, right?

Considering that the agent must be near Shangyuan County, able to come over quickly to take over, and must be one of his own, so that he would not have any objections when he was needed to make way for the new county magistrate, the prefect of Jinling thought hard for a long time and finally made the selection.

found a suitable candidate.

Taiping Prefecture, next door to Jinling Prefecture, has Dangtu County under its jurisdiction. The current Dangtu County Magistrate, whose surname is Li and whose given name is Yanchao, is a former student of Jinling Prefecture when he served as an academic officer and presided over the provincial examination. Li Yanchao is also the son of a noble family in Beijing.

, but the family has been somewhat in decline. He himself was not very good at studying. After passing the provincial examination, he kept failing and failed to pass the Jinshi examination. He had to serve as an official and became a small county magistrate.

Although his official position is low, he can still be regarded as an official.

Li Yanchao was able to become the magistrate of Dangtu County thanks to the recommendation of the prefect of Jinling, so he has always been very grateful to him. The prefect of Jinling felt that Dangtu was only more than a hundred miles away from Jinling, and Li Yanchao could arrive in two or three days at the latest.

.His ability is not bad and he is smart, so he should be qualified for the position of acting county magistrate. Moreover, Li Yanchao's background is not deep, he will obey his instructions, will not cause trouble to his successors, and will also bring trouble to the current county magistrate.

Erase some traces that shouldn't be left behind.

The prefect of Jinling has already made plans. After Li Yanchao completes his task as acting county magistrate, he will be assigned to a small county to serve as county magistrate. In this way, Li Yanchao can be regarded as being promoted, and everyone is happy.

So a transfer order was quickly sent to Dangtu County. Because he was only acting as an agent, and the Taiping Prefect was a good talker, the Jinling Prefect felt that there was no need to inform the superiors about the matter, and he only needed to make the decision himself. So, two days later, Dangtu County

There was an echo from Tu County. Li Yanchao was already packing his luggage and was about to rush to Shangyuan to take up the post for his old mentor.

The prefect of Jinling was very satisfied and turned his attention back to the hunt for the murderer. The murderer was very shrewd. Although he would inevitably leave some clues, he could always get there before the government officials showed up.

Escape. He almost turned the entire Shangyuan County into a pot of porridge, and there are signs that he seems to have a tendency to escape elsewhere.

The governor's Yamen couldn't hold it any longer. They sent people to the Magistrate's Yamen more than once to inquire about the latest progress of the case. They also resented the Magistrate's Yamen's failure to handle the case, but they didn't know whether they were really trying to solve the case or were taking the opportunity to attack someone. The Jinling Magistrate was on alert.

Then, the governor's Yamen tried to test it, and the entire Jinling Mansion was stirred into this muddy water.

Although Qin Hanzhen's family lives in Jinling City in a low-key manner, their daily life has not been affected by this case. At most, they hear some gossips and rumors from others, but they can also feel the unpleasant atmosphere of rumors in the city. Xiaodao

The news spread everywhere, shaping the murderer into a villain two feet tall with a green face and fangs. He committed all kinds of crimes on him. The owner's family lost money, claiming that he had stolen it while on the run. The owner of the west family was beaten and also

It is said that he was beaten while fleeing. If anyone died inexplicably at this time, it goes without saying that it was also his fault. All kinds of unreliable and unreliable rumors spread everywhere, causing people in the city to panic.

Qin Bai complained about this situation: "The magistrate of Shangyuan County committed his own evil. Although the murderer is hateful, he is not a heinous bad person. It was not his fault, how could it be blamed on him? There were obviously rumors yesterday.

, saying that he fled to Lishui, then how could he appear in Jinling City? It’s simply ignorant!”

He did not allow his family to discuss such rumors, let alone spread them to the outside world, so Qin Hanzhen and Qin Jian were relatively quiet. However, they could not help but discuss the matter in private. They both

I very much agree with Qin Bai's view. I feel that Magistrate Shangyuan committed suicide and deserved to end up like this. Of course, murder is still wrong, and any criminal behavior should be banned.

After a few words with his cousin, Qin Jian also left the show. He has been a little busy recently. Due to the recent chaos in the Jinling Mansion, the officials went around to search for fugitives, and the search was very detailed. Although the prince was carrying the name of the Liyang Prince's Mansion, he was temporarily

There is no need to worry about being suspected, let alone being treated as a fugitive, but it is always better to be cautious. Who knows what will happen if he continues to live in a small town? It happened that after all kinds of evasion, Dr. Ye still

Accepting Qin Bai's kindness, he chose to "rent" his property with a front shop and a back house, and planned to open a small medical clinic in Jinling City to facilitate his father-in-law's medical treatment. The prince should also move to Huaiqing Bridge with his entourage

In the house over there.

Qin Jian spent a lot of effort to decorate the house as soon as possible. Fortunately, with Qin Hanzhen's precedent, he now knew how to decorate the house warmly and comfortably. When the prince moved in with his entourage

When I moved into my new house, I even praised the layout and furnishings of the house.

Qin Jian felt that he was quite proud, but it was a pity that he could not tell others about this feeling. Tell his third uncle Qin Bai, because he was afraid that his elders would teach him a lesson, and he should not become proud and complacent just because of a small achievement. Tell others,

He didn't dare to reveal the prince's whereabouts, so he felt a little panicked.

Just when Qin Jian was depressed, Mr. Li Yanchao from Dangtu was sitting in a restaurant having a belated lunch in a small town next to the official road in Jiangning County. He was about to arrive at Jinling City, and he was thinking

He was extremely excited. He knew that one day he would be successful one day! The teacher did not forget him. He had only been serving as the prime minister of Dangtu County for half a year, and the teacher transferred him to Jinling City. There is still a bright future waiting for him in the future.

Looking at him!

Li Yanchao accidentally looked out the window and unexpectedly spotted a familiar figure: "Huh? Isn't that Dr. Tang? He should be in the East Palace, right? Why did he come to Jiangning?"

Li Yanchao couldn't help but feel confused when he looked at the rumored imperial doctor who was supposed to be trapped in the East Palace, treating the seriously ill prince without any personal freedom.
