Punishment, inspection and envoy yamen, execution room.
The public was interrogating two cult bandits who were familiar with Ling Potian. Xia Xun was listening to the interrogation, but his mind was not here. The murder of the Li family aroused his indignation, but now the murderer has been arrested, and the White Lotus Cult in Jinan has also been uprooted.
, it was inevitable to escape a few small fish and shrimps, and it was impossible to cause any waves. He began to worry about his unsolvable problems again.
It was heard that Xia Xun single-handedly captured Niu Buye, the leader of the White Lotus Cult, and also found out the imperial convict King Kongnu and made his first contribution. Huang Yushi, who had just regained some energy, couldn't lie down anymore and struggled to get up.
, I also participated in the hearing today. For no other reason than that I can’t get a place in the credit book, but at least my name must be on the memorial, otherwise it will be too ugly.
Xia Xun was too lazy to pay attention to his thoughts. It would be better for him to get up and leave this place to him so that he could go to Qingzhou to do things. But when he thought of the unreasonable brothers of the Peng family, Xia Xun felt a headache. He believed that the Peng family
The elders are quite reasonable. If you talk to them directly, you may be able to break the deadlock.
The problem is that he can't see the elders of the Peng family at all. Zi Qi's aunt who became a monk has turned against the Peng village master's brother and sister because of Zi Qi and his affairs. I am afraid that this middleman is not able to do it. Xia Xun is thinking hard about countermeasures.
, a familiar word suddenly jumped into his ears, attracting his attention at once.
"Qingzhou? Ling Potian's uncle lives in Qingzhou? What's his name and address? Tell me everything you know... Well, what's more, does he have any relatives or close friends?
Tell them all! Liaocheng? Is she his biological aunt? Okay, slow down, write it all down, it’s better to recruit her as soon as possible. I have to see the coffin without shedding tears, hum!"
"Qingzhou?" Xia Xun's eyes lit up and he blurted out.
The adults who were listening to the interrogation all turned their heads. Yi Jiayi asked nervously: "Mr. Yang, what did you find?"
Xia Xun knew he had made a mistake, but when he saw the expectant looks on the faces of the officials, a bold idea suddenly came to his mind. He took a breath, calmed down, nodded slowly, and said: "Qingzhou, Ling Po
Tian is very likely to escape to Qingzhou."
"Oh?" Everyone was like a wolf that had discovered meat, their ears suddenly stood up.
Yi Jiayi humbly asked: "On what basis does Mr. Yang make this judgment?"
Xia Xun nodded his head and said calmly: "Intuition!"
"Oh..." The officials' hunched shoulders slumped, and their perfunctory expressions were obvious.
Xia Xun said: "Sometimes, intuition is very important. This time I noticed Wang Yiyuan among thousands of people's information, that's how I felt."
As soon as this was said, everyone immediately became energetic again.
Xia Xun stood up slowly, held the case with both hands, and said solemnly: "So, I decided to go to Qingzhou, hoping to catch Ling Potian in my hands, and make this case a complete success.
I wonder which lord is willing to go with me?"
Yi Jiayi's eyes shone brightly and he rushed to say: "I would like to go with Mr. Yang."
Those officials in the Criminal Division all wanted to go to Qingzhou with Xia Xun and get some credit, but among the officials present, Yi Jiayi had the highest official position. He had already spoken, and it was difficult for other officials to talk. There was one person among them.
His movements were the slowest. At this moment, he stood up tremblingly, but he was very excited and shouted: "I'm going too, I'm going too!"
When Xia Xun saw that it was Mr. Huang Zhenhuang, he couldn't help but frown and said, "Sir Huang, you have just recovered from your illness, so you shouldn't travel far."
"It doesn't matter, it doesn't matter. Serve the country, why not regret your old body."
Huang Yushi thought: "In any case, officially I am your immediate superior. If I go with you and you catch Ling Potian, I won't get any credit for it. Otherwise, I will be on a business trip." , I won’t get any credit at all.”
Yi Jiayi saw that Huang Zhen was a little affectionate and knew what he was thinking, so he smiled and smoothed things over and said: "Master Yang, let's go to Qingzhou by car instead of horse. The journey is not very far, even though it is more difficult. But it’s nothing. Since Mr. Huang is going, why not...just the three of you and me, go to Qingzhou together."
Xia Xun had no choice but to agree, but he smiled bitterly in his heart: "Do you want to steal the credit? You two adults, Xia Xun came here just to steal a woman..."
※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※
After Xia Xun, Huang Yushi, and Mr. Yi agreed to go to Qingzhou to track down the Jinan White Lotus Sect's Eight Directions Liaison Officer Ling Potian, they immediately left the execution room to find Mr. Cao, the inspector. When they arrived at the front yard, they saw a group of prisoners being escorted in. In the past few days, as a result of the torture, leaders such as the so-called protectors and incense masters of the White Lotus Sect have been arrested, so Xia Xun did not pay attention.
Huang Zhen and Yi Jiayi didn't believe in any nonsense intuition. They thought Xia Xun must have discovered something, so they surrounded him. As they walked, they asked questions and made insinuations while Xia Xun randomly made up some analysis. After perfunctoryly dealing with them, the three of them walked past the group of prisoners, and suddenly a voice shouted in surprise: "Young Master Yang! Brother Wenxuan! Oh my god, it's really you!"
Xia Xun looked around in surprise and saw a tall man standing among the prisoners. His bun was broken up and his hair was shawl. He thought he was in the inner house when he was arrested. He was not wearing formal clothes. Wearing a plain white shirt embroidered with lotus flowers, she has curved eyebrows, a small mouth, and white skin and tender flesh. At first glance, she thought she was a handsome girl, but after a closer look, she recognized that she was a man.
Xia Xun was slightly startled, unable to remember who this person was.
As soon as the man shouted, the policeman next to him came to push him. The man was afraid of losing the opportunity, so he jumped up and shouted: "Brother Wenxuan, save me, Brother Wenxuan, Brother Wenxuan..."
Xia Xun waved his hand to stop the policeman, walked over slowly, looked at the man up and down, and said hesitantly: "You are..."
The man said anxiously: "My younger brother is Liu Yujue, Liu Yujue, brother Wenxuan, don't you recognize me? Do you remember the Daming Lake..."
Xia Xun groaned and said: "Remember, remember, I remember, it turned out to be Liu Xiandi, you... why did you... commit the crime?"
Liu Yujue pulled his sleeve and said reluctantly: "Brother Wenxuan didn't commit any crime at all. My Liu family is a member of my family, and this time I suffered an unreasonable disaster. Brother Wenxuan, I didn't expect that Brother Wenxuan is now in the criminal department." When I first met you, I almost couldn't believe it. Brother Wenxuan, you must save me this time, wuwuwu..."
In the spring of this year, Ji Gang, Gao Xianning and Mr. Liu's son Liu Yujue went to Yingtian to take the examination. Unfortunately, all three northern candidates failed and had to come back in despair. Within a few days, the scientific examination incident occurred, and by early June , the imperial court set up prisons, the southern ranking list was invalidated, and the number one and second ranking candidates were beheaded and exiled. The imperial court re-examined the files and admitted 61 more northern candidates, but their names were still not among them.
Immediately afterwards, they heard that the imperial court had changed the imperial examination system. In the future, the examinations would be divided into north and south. The three of them were very excited. Ji Gang and Gao Xianning had already rushed back to their hometowns. Liu Yujue also studied hard behind closed doors, because if the examinations were divided into north and south, they only had to work hard.
If you work hard, you may not have a chance of passing the exam. Who would have thought that sitting at home behind closed doors would bring disaster from the sky, and for no apparent reason, he would be arrested by the government.
The eldest son of the Liu family has been pampered since he was a child and has never experienced such a world. When he talked about it later, he couldn't help but burst into tears and just started sobbing. But he still held Xia Xun's arm tightly, for fear that Xia Xun would walk away if he let go.
.
He saw that Xia Xun was wearing an official uniform. Although his rank was not very high, there was a seventh-grade official on his left and a sixth-grade official on his right, surrounding him. It was expected that Xia Xun was a prosecutor in the yamen who had extensive connections and backgrounds.
The official who came here immediately made him his only support, just like a child who had been wronged suddenly found his only support.
This young man looks too much like a woman. Even his expression, mannerisms, and tone of voice are similar to the way he is crying. The tearful eyes and the look of him looking at each other are like a gentle and passionate abandoned woman who looks at Xia Xun.
His scalp was numb and he was busy pulling out his sleeves while asking: "Ah, Brother Yujue, what happened at Brother Yujue's house?"
As soon as he pulled his sleeve, Liu Yujue grabbed his hand and held it tightly, refusing to let go: "Brother Wenxuan, my Liu family has been wronged. The cousin of the second manager of my family is said to be the Shaanxi Bandit Guild."
King Vajra Nu, my Liu family was accused of harboring religious bandits, and my father and I were both arrested. My Liu family has always been law-abiding and doing good in the village. If I had known that the cousin in charge was a religious bandit,
My Liu family will never take him in."
As Liu Yujue spoke, she wiped her tears with the back of her palm. Although she didn't raise her orchid finger, her movements were still as graceful as a daughter's family. There were many wives and concubines in Liu Yuan's family, but with this single seedling, Mr. Liu had been surrounded by children since he was a child.
A group of women take care of the big ones, so their words and deeds are a bit girly. They usually pay attention when they are outside, but when they are sad and forgetful, they don't know how to hide it.
Only then did Xia Xun know that the bookstore where Wang Jingangnu was hiding was the property of Liu Yujue's family. He whispered to Yi Jiayi: "Master Yi, it seems inappropriate to be so implicated, right? Otherwise, if you are involved, you will be arrested. Jinan City can
Aren’t you going to arrest half of them?”
Yi Jiayi whispered to him: "Mr. Yang, what Mr. Liu said is not true. The Liu family did not just misbelieve people's words and took in the leader of the religious bandits. Do you still remember what Mr. Inspector posted?
Is there a notice? Now it has been found that the certificate produced by the Liu family to the Vajra slave stated that he arrived in Jinan five days earlier. Also, the Vajra slave was present on the night of the Li family's murder, but the Liu family's certificate
However, we found two witnesses to prove that he stayed in the store that night. In fact, the two store clerks did not live in the store at all. Isn’t this intentional fraud to deceive the government? Because of this, we detained the Liu family members
Detained."
When Xia Xun heard this, his heart sank. If this was the case, things would be difficult to handle.
