Chapter 558 One more person is needed
He said so much in succession, and among the ministers of Qin, only one person fully agreed with this condition.
Xiao Yuan knew who Liu Yuzhi was talking about without even thinking about it.
But that person is so annoying.
He frowned slightly and said with a little displeasure, "What if I don't want to use him?"
"Haha." Liu Yuzhi smiled and said, "Your Majesty, a wise and wise king, has always known people well and done their best. Why would you say such a thing again?"
"Okay!" Xiao Yuan sighed helplessly: "Immediately pass the message to Liu Changqing..."
How could he not know that the person who can handle major corruption cases must be Liu Changqing?
The king's order was issued quickly, and the king urgently summoned him. Liu Changqing didn't dare to neglect, so he changed into his official uniform and hurried to the Prince of Qin's Mansion.
As soon as he arrived at the study, he saw that the Prime Minister was also there. He was stunned for a moment, then knelt down on the ground, saluted and said, "I am here to see you, your Majesty."
"Get up." Xiao Yuan glanced at him angrily, and after he stood up, he also gestured to Liu Yuzhi.
The latter understood and faced Liu Changqing and said: "Master Liu, this is how it is..."
As he spoke, he told the story again.
After hearing this, Liu Changqing also frowned, but he subconsciously said: "Official documents are not easy to be falsified. Could the grain issue be related to the previous Liangdi War?"
"Impossible." Xiao Yuan said directly: "The battle against Liang was led by my own army. I know better than anyone whether this war will have any impact on the agriculture of Liang!"
"Then...there's a big problem here." Liu Changqing said.
Xiao Yuan glared at him and said: "This matter is related to the country's foundation and has extremely wide implications. It must be investigated strictly."
After saying that, he immediately said: "Liu Changqing listens to the order!"
"I'm here."
Xiao Yuan looked at him seriously and said: "I will appoint you as the inspector of Liangzhou, holding the Qin King's sword, patrolling the sky on behalf of the sky, and specializing in handling this case!"
"Ah!?" Liu Changqing was startled and a little unable to react.
Xiao Yuan frowned, holding the King of Qin Sword in one hand, and handed it to him: "Why don't you take the sword!?"
"Ah! Yes, yes, I accept the order!" Liu Changqing finally realized what he was doing, and he knelt down in a hurry, raised his hands high, and took the Wang Sword respectfully.
You must know that at that time, meeting Wang Jian was like meeting a king. Needless to say, the power Xiao Yuan gave him also showed his determination to punish corrupt officials.
Although he sometimes hates Liu Changqing, in this kind of matter, he has to use the latter.
"Please rest assured, Your Majesty! I will do my best to eliminate all corrupt officials in Liangdi!"
Liu Changqing first expressed his attitude, and then said: "But before that, I have a merciless request."
"Speak." Xiao Yuan said concisely and to the point.
Liu Changqing said: "Please ask the Prime Minister to complete the official records of the first batch of food and grass. In this way, those people will feel that there is no oversight at all, and they will still use the same tricks on the second batch of food and grass."
"You want those people to relax their vigilance, right? How will you arrange your status as the inspector?" Xiao Yuan took over the conversation and said.
"Wei Chen would like to visit in plain clothes first. Once we find the entry point, it won't be too late to issue the king's order." Liu Changqing said.
"Okay." Xiao Yuan nodded, then looked at Liu Yuzhi and said, "Cooperate with him."
"Wei Chen understands." Liu Yuzhi responded immediately.
Xiao Yuan looked at Liu Changqing again: "What other difficulties are there? Finish it all in one go."
"Wei Chen still needs someone..."
Qinzhou, Nancheng District, in front of a residence.
At this time, the place was filled with people watching.
Because not long ago, a murder occurred here.
The person who died was the head of the household here. According to his wife, the house accidentally caught fire and the husband had no time to escape and was burned to death in the house.
Several officers and soldiers of the Wuwei Prefecture were carrying the body out of the burned house.
The body was relatively complete, with the eyes, ears, mouth and nose visible, but there were many places on the body that were charred.
Qi Ying squatted down, first checked, and then turned to look at the house owner's wife: "You mean, you were doing laundry by the river, and by the time you got back, it was already too late?"
"Yes, sir." The woman looked like her eyes were red from crying and she was sobbing.
"Did you see him being burned to death with your own eyes?"
"Yes, the fire was too big. The girl wanted to save her husband's family, but she couldn't get in..." the woman cried.
At this point in the conversation, Qi Ying no longer asked any more questions, but silently calculated in her heart.
There are many rivers and arch bridges in Qinzhou City. The water is very clear. Women living nearby usually wash their clothes around the arch bridges. This is very common and there is nothing strange about it.
It's just that this place is very close to the nearest laundry room.
Judging from the extent of the house being burned down, when the fire broke out and spread, the owner should have had time to escape.
If a woman is doing laundry and sees thick smoke in her home, she will definitely rush back immediately.
There are many loopholes in the middle.
Thinking of this, Qi Ying glanced at the woman, then carefully inspected the body, then stood up and said:
"Those who were burned to death in the fire would choke on the smoke in their mouths and noses when they were forced to breathe. However, the owner of the house had a clean mouth and nose, and his body was obviously burned after death."
"She is lying, take her back first."
"No!" the officers and soldiers responded immediately, and began to restrain the woman from left to right.
Such a case is not difficult for Qi Ying.
When the woman saw this, she immediately started to cry: "The civilian daughter was wronged, the civilian daughter did not lie, the official saw it clearly..."
But how could Qi Ying pay attention to her?
At this moment, the follower who had been following him also hurried over and said out of breath: "Brother Qi, Mr. Ye has urgently asked you to return home."
"Okay, I understand." Qi Ying responded, then waved his hand and said: "Search this place carefully again, don't let go of any clues!"
"yes!"
General Office of the Armed Forces.
After Qi Ying rushed back, she immediately found Ye Cheng, clasped her fists and bent down and said, "Sir, are you calling me?"
"Well, Xiao Qi, sit down." Ye Cheng's attitude towards him was very good, or in other words, he valued his capable subordinate very much.
"Yes." Qi Ying responded and sat down next to him.
Picking up the tea cup and taking a sip, Ye Chengye asked calmly: "Xiao Qi, how is the case being handled recently?"
Ye Cheng said truthfully: "This one in Nancheng District, I suspect that the woman committed adultery and conspired to kill her husband, but there is still some evidence."
"Huh?" Hearing this, Ye Cheng immediately glared: "Such a wicked woman must be sentenced to death. Of course, the evidence must be solid. Our Wuwei Mansion cannot unjustly accuse any good person, nor can we let a murderer go."
"I understand my humble position!" Qi Ying quickly clasped his fists.
"But, please pass this case to Xiao Cao first..."
"Ah? What do you mean, sir?" Qi Ying was puzzled.
Ye Cheng took out a silk book and handed it to him: "Look at this first."
Qi Ying took it and after reading it, couldn't help but widen his eyes. Then he looked at Ye Cheng and stammered: "This, this..."
