The group of people went down the mountain and entered Dayun Temple. It was lunch time at this time. It seemed that this benefactor not only had a high status but also donated a lot of sesame oil money. Otherwise, Dayun Temple would not have sent an eminent monk to receive them and accompany them on their tour.
Enjoy the mountains and rivers, and also arrange vegetarian meals.
Feng Jianxiao had no time to pay attention to the identity of the person. When he came down from the mountain, he immediately rushed back to the government office to see Zhao Tuiguan. He found any reason and told him that Xia Xun, who he had "just discovered", was running business for the King of Qi.
Zhao Tuiguan said sincerely: "Sir, once Yang Wenxuan really has his shortcomings, not to mention the Qingzhou gentry will make a fuss about it, I am afraid that Prince Qi will be even more dissatisfied. By then, even the Qingzhou gentry will be able to resist the dissatisfaction.
, Prince Qi only needs to say one thing, my Qingzhou Prefecture will definitely suppress the charges of ineffective governance and rampant banditry. By then, I am afraid that the prefect will lose his hat. How will you... be dealt with?"
Tuiguan is equivalent to the director of public security. His responsibilities are. If there is a major criminal case in the government, causing public dissatisfaction, and a big figure like King Qi puts pressure on him, the result is of course conceivable. Zhao Tuiguan couldn't help but change his face and said in surprise.
: "Then Yang Wenxuan is actually a member of King Qi? What can we do? The murderer is very talented and bold, and his whereabouts are secretive. We have no clues so far. I'm afraid we won't be able to catch him for a while. What if he attacks Yang Wenxuan again...
, No, I have to report this matter to the prefect and the state magistrate immediately."
"Sir, please wait!"
Inspector Feng quickly stopped him and said: "My lord, it is certainly right for you to report this matter to the governor and the state judge, but you are the one in charge of this matter of punishment. Once these two adults learn about Yang Wenxuan's identity,
In order to shirk responsibility, I must put all this matter on you, and maybe write it down formally, in black and white, and leave a certificate. How to ensure his safety will not fall on you in the end? By then, sir
What should I say to the governor and the state magistrate? Are the governor and the state magistrate willing to share the moral responsibility with you?"
Officer Zhao gritted his teeth and said: "It's strange that those old foxes are willing to accept the move. Once they learn about this matter, they will only blame it all on me, and they will definitely issue it clearly and make the scene watertight. If Yang Wenxuan comes out,
That's it, hey! They just pushed it clean."
Speaking of this, Officer Zhao seemed to have seen a dark iron pot hooding his head, and he couldn't help but pessimistically said: "Yang Wenxuan is a gentleman with fame and status, and he has his own legitimate business. I can't call him
He stays in his house all day long, right? But even though he has fame, he is just a commoner, and I can't dispatch police officers to protect him personally. Not to mention violating the law and system, spreading the word to others
Also, what are the benefits of taking over the Yang family and causing a mess for no reason? This... what should I do?"
Inspector Feng said: "Inspections and arrests enforce the law for the country. Of course, we cannot rely on private individuals. However, since we cannot come forward, we can find someone to help."
Zhao Tuiguan lost his temper and grabbed him and said, "Old Feng, do you have a good idea? If you have an idea, tell me quickly. Stop playing riddles. I'm sweating now."
Inspector Feng smiled and whispered something to him. Officer Zhao's eyes lit up when he heard this, he slapped his thigh and exclaimed: "Wow, why didn't I think of it? As for how well-informed the news is,
We have so many minions that even our Qingzhou Mansion can’t compare to theirs, right! To force them to help, as long as they help, not only can we protect Yang Wenxuan’s safety, but we can also force them to fully assist me in arresting the murderer. Kill two birds with one stone, it’s really a clever plan!”
Officer Zhao held his chin and pondered for a moment, then slapped the table and said: "Go, immediately recruit ten arrests and ten quick hands to follow me."
Feng Xihui was surprised and said, "With so many people here, is it too much of a commotion?"
The dignified official of Qingzhou Prefecture led people to handle cases, but he only brought twenty people. Is that really serious? That's not the case. The problem is that the official Zhao actually led not twenty people, but nearly two hundred people.
Qingzhou Prefecture has a total of only 60 police officers and 60 kuaishou. Of course, this refers to the established "official officers". When a regular officer goes out on business, he has to take two deputies with him, and each deputy has to
Bringing his "helpers" and "buddies", this means that for one policeman on duty, there are actually close to ten people out. So Zhao Tuiguan transferred twenty people, which was actually two hundred people, such a huge team
Swaggering through the market is indeed rare in peacetime.
Zhao Tuiguan glanced at him without saying a word. Feng Xihui immediately understood and thought to himself: "Damn, these officials are more colorful than me." He immediately slapped his forehead and went to transfer people.
This is exactly what Zhao Tuiguan wants. He no longer plans to tell the two adults, Futai and Judge, that Yang Wenxuan is a disciple of King Qi, and he also has to pretend to be ignorant, otherwise
, once Yang Wenxuan was assassinated, the two adults above his head shared the blame, and he became even more passive. Today, he went through the streets in a swaggering manner, trying to make as much noise as possible. If Yang Wenxuan really has something wrong with him in the future, he can at least tell what happened today and say that he was in his own way.
We have done our best to ensure the safety of Yang Wenxuan within our capabilities. Do you know what Mr. Zhou and Mr. Judge did?
Feng Xihui understood this thought after he glanced at it.
Qingzhou Prefecture's sixty catchers and sixty quick hands, of which only one-third are usually on standby at the government office, Zhao Tuiguan ordered half of them to be transferred out. Although these people move quickly, they must be gathered together.
Their deputies, assistants, and men really put in a lot of effort. After more than half an hour, the people and horses arrived. Zhao Tuiguan, dressed in official robes, came out of the office and mounted his horse, majestically leading his two hundred men.
go……
Xia Xun heard that Manager Xiao reported to him the people who had visited him or inquired about him in the past few days. He secretly remembered it in his heart, and then asked Manager Xiao to go to the Peng Family Martial Arts School. He took the pile of greeting cards and invitations and read them one by one.
filter.
Most of these were people with whom he had close contacts. Some of them had been introduced to him in detail by Zhang Shisan, and some were not familiar to him. That didn't matter. There was a small speaker beside him. He didn't need too many questioning skills at all.
Xia Xun can get a lot of information that is useful to him from her, such as the person's identity, the distance between him and himself, and roughly what kind of interactions or grudges there are. Of course, Xiaodi's narrative is also mixed with many stories about parents, cats and dogs.
Messages are automatically filtered.
Finally, Xia Xun picked out the three most suspects: Lin Beixia, Geng Xin, and Jiang Zhiqing.
The three suspects selected by Xia Xun all had motives for committing the crime, and the most suspect among them was Lin Beixia from the Lin family pawnshop.
The Lin family pawnshop has now changed its name to "Lin Yang Pawnshop" because Yang Wenxuan is now also the shopkeeper of this pawnshop, accounting for less than half of the shares.
The reason why Yang Wenxuan was able to invest in the Lin's pawnshop was that there was a fire in the Lin's pawnshop the year before last. The fire destroyed a pawn warehouse of the Lin family. There were many pawn items in the warehouse, many of which were precious. News of the fire spread.
After the pawn shop opened, all the customers who had pawned at Lin's pawn shop took the pawn tickets to redeem the original items. Even those who had no money to redeem the pawn items borrowed money and were determined to redeem them.
Because of the rules of the pawn shop, pawns are allowed to redeem live pawned items within a certain period of time. Therefore, the pawn shop cannot dispose of live pawned items before they expire. Now that shopkeeper Lin cannot get the original items, he has to pay high prices for compensation.
, those who pawn things are also wicked. Even if they only pawned one cotton-padded jacket, you would not pay the price of three cotton-padded jackets to compensate him now. You insist that the cotton-padded jacket in his family was passed down by his grandfather's grandfather.
It is just a thought, which is called commemoration in the words of later generations. This intangible value is huge. People don’t want money but just the original thing. What can you do?
These pawnbrokers squeezed shopkeeper Lin to the point where he had no way to go to heaven and no way to go to earth, and he was ready to hang himself. At this time, Yang Wenxuan came to visit. According to Yang Wenxuan, he had a certain number of people in Qi Prince's Mansion and Qingzhou Prefecture's Yamen.
Thanks to his personal connections, he can help shopkeeper Lin solve this problem, provided that he becomes a shareholder and becomes one of the owners of Lin's pawn shop.
In this way, "Lin's Pawnshop" became "Lin Yang's Pawnshop".
Nowadays, Yang Wenxuan's wealth is getting bigger and bigger. After gaining fame, he has also gained a certain status in the scholarly circles and official circles. He has gradually formed a tendency of favoring customers over customers. If this continues, "Lin Yang Pawnshop" will become "Yang Lin Pawnshop".
Eventually it became "Yang's Pawn Shop".
Yang Wenxuan is the only one left in the Qingzhou branch of the Yang family in Yingtian. If he is killed, the Yang family will have to sell various real estate properties when they come from Yingtian to take over all the property. In that case,
, this pawnshop passed down by the ancestors of the Lin family can still be in the hands of Lin Beixia. People who lose their ancestral property are prodigals, and they will not be ashamed to enter their ancestors' graves when they die. For Lin Beixia, this risk is undoubtedly worth taking.
Geng Xin, the big shopkeeper of "Shengchuntang Pharmacy". "Shengchun Tang Pharmacy" is a large herbal medicine dealer in Qingzhou. It has branches in Yidu, Linqu and Linzi. The owner's surname is Sun, and Gengxin is a businessman of Sun's family.
The son-in-law came to the door, so his current official name should be preceded by the character Sun, which is called Sun Gengxin.
Lao Geng and Yang Wenxuan were just casual acquaintances at first. The reason why they became friends actually has a story. The main reason was that at the beginning of last year, the Sun family company purchased a batch of counterfeit medicines, and a patient died after taking the counterfeit medicines.
, the drug store was in crisis for a while, and the store couldn't turn over funds, so it borrowed a large sum of money from Xia Xun using the real estate and store as collateral.
Of course, whether it was the Lin Family Pawnshop or the Shengchundang Pharmacy, the two incidents that happened one after another were all done secretly by Feng Jianxiao and the others, and Yang Wenxuan became the "timely rain" for the Lin Family Pawnshop and the Shengchundang Pharmacy. Just imagine that Feng Jianxiao and the others were behind the scenes.
Zongqi and the others are just a group of people who are good at destruction but don't know how to build. How do you expect them to have any good ideas to support Yang Wenxuan?
Xia Xun heard these internal reasons from Zhang Shisan. The reason why Xia Xun listed Geng Yuanwai as a suspect was because Yang Wenxuan had no good intentions towards Shengchundang Pharmacy. The original purpose of lending money was to annex this pharmacy.
, now that the loan repayment deadline has long passed, and Yang Wenxuan has urged repayment many times, Xia Xun suspects that Yang Wenxuan may have revealed to Geng Yuanwai his intention to buy shares if he cannot repay. In this case, Geng Yuanwai has a reason to take risks.
Although killing the creditor is not a guarantee, the Yang family only has one person in charge of the family in Qingzhou. If he dies, the Yang family will send people over to deal with the news. After all the affairs have been dealt with, how can it be delayed?
In a year and a half, maybe the financial crisis of Shengchundang Pharmacy will be solved. But there is a glimmer of hope. It may not be impossible for a dog to jump over the wall and buy a murderer.
As for Jiang Zhiqing, he was the shopkeeper of a silk and satin shop. Xia Xun once helped An Yuanwai compete with him for business. In addition, when Miss Yiyi of the "Xiaoxiang Pavilion" was selling combs, the two of them also fought to win the first prize of Miss Yiyi.
After spending money and fighting for wealth, Yang Wenxuan won in the end, so the two had a lot of grudges. But compared to the above two people, the possibility of this person buying a murderer and killing someone was much smaller.
After sorting out these three people, Xia Xun secretly decided that the first thing to do was to investigate Lin Beixia. With his knowledge of criminal investigation and his ability to observe people, if this person was the real culprit behind the scenes, he would definitely be able to find some clues.
While Xia Xun was screening criminal suspects, Officer Zhao and Inspector Feng swaggered through the city with nearly 200 patrol agents and headed straight for Xicheng. Along the way, many people curiously chased them until they left Xicheng.
Only the lively people will return disappointed.
There is a village ten miles west of Qingzhou. The owner of the village is named Peng. The Peng family runs a car dealership, a boat dealership, and a mule and horse dealership. They also control Qingzhou's tooth shop and run a martial arts school. On the ground in Qingzhou, all the urban foxes, rats, and scoundrels are the only ones.
The Peng family follows the lead and can be said to be very wealthy and powerful. However, in running these businesses, the Peng family is involved in both black and white. Although they are rich and powerful, they can only be classified as tyrants. They are not the same as the noble gentry class like Yang Wenxuan.
.
As soon as the large group of people walked towards the Peng family, they immediately attracted the attention of interested people. Those who worked on the land, those who worked the fields, and those who pulled nets for fishing in the rivers and lakes. The people in many places had close relations with the Peng family. They saw Zhao Tuiguan and Feng Jianxiao
Wearing an official uniform, he was riding a horse, followed by nearly two hundred government servants armed with swords and sticks. They were majestic and powerful. The news was quickly reported to Pengjiazhuang.
Peng Wanli, the second steward of the Peng family, was shocked when he heard about it. He immediately flew straight to the back house to see his grandfather, Mr. Peng. Mr. Peng was already a hundred years old. Although he was old, he was energetic and full of energy.
Although his back is slightly hunched, he still looks tall and strong, and looks very strong.
The old man was wearing a double-breasted sweatshirt, a pair of black kung fu trousers, and a pair of black cloth shoes. He was spinning a pair of shiny iron gall bladders in his hands. He was fishing in front of the stream that passed through the backyard, with his back leaning against a weeping willow.
Leisurely and at ease.
Peng Wanli arrived in a hurry, waved his hand to dismiss the waiting servants, and whispered a few words to Mr. Peng. Taigong Peng's face changed slightly, and the iron gallbladder turning in his hand suddenly stopped: "How many officers and soldiers have come, how many officers and soldiers have come?"
How many people are there?"
Peng Wanli said: "Grandpa, there are about two hundred police officers coming, led by Zhao Tuiguan."
"Bang, bang, bang..."
The iron gallbladder in Taigong Peng's hand began to rotate rapidly again: "Only the policemen..., no guards officers and soldiers?"
"No."
"Only to catch the courier all the way, not to be surrounded on all sides?"
"No."
The iron galls in Taigong Peng's hands became faster and faster. The two iron galls spun rapidly in his palms without any collision with each other. He smiled softly and said calmly: "I understand, you
Let's go to Qianzhuang to receive him and see if the official, the official, comes to see what kind of trouble he has come to visit."
Peng Wanli said anxiously: "Ancestor, if you ask me, you should make some preparations first, so that you are prepared for anything, just in case they really come after us..."
"impossible!"
Peng Taigong smiled proudly and said: "How many cats and dogs are here to capture me, Monk Peng? If they really knew the details of our family, the officers and soldiers of the Qingzhou Guard would have been dispatched in full force. Even the King of Qi would have taken him with him.
Then the three guards will come in person and surround my house like an iron barrel. Then you can rest assured! Go ahead and do the work. Since there are no thousands of troops coming, I will definitely be a Diaoyutai!"
