Chapter 564: Is Cuiyun Lane still there? Where did Minglan go?
Wang Yue glanced at the corpses that had begun to rot or were completely rotten, and frowned. He could only temporarily order people to carry them back to the Huating County government office.
On the way back, Wang Yue kept thinking about how to confirm the identities of these women and how to get Zhou She to plead guilty.
Until he arrived at the county government office, Wang Yue still couldn't think of any solution. After all, there was no genetic testing in this era, and it was really impossible to tell the identity of the dead.
Just when he was struggling, Zhao Pan'er saw the corpses of several women and subconsciously said, "Ms. sir, I would like to ask a few Taoist priests to recite the "Supreme Suffering Sutra" several times to these women who died in vain.
I need your name card."
Wang Yue was about to say that he could just throw money at it, but suddenly he thought that the current emperor likes Taoism, and ordinary people really can't hire Taoist priests. He rolled his eyes and thought of a way. It seemed that he could only continue to use the illusion in Qimen Dunjia.
Wang Yue thought of a way and smiled and said to Gu Pan'er, "Let's wait until the case is concluded. Pan'er, please bring my box of white jade chessboards first."
Zhao Pan'er didn't know why. She was currently trying a case. It was not suitable to play chess at this time. Just seeing that Wang Yue was serious, she honestly found the chessboard from Wang Ke's package and handed it to Wang Yue carefully.
superior.
Wang Yue took the chessboard and played with the chess pieces while saying, "When I was a child, I saved a Taoist priest with a kind heart. After I saved his life, the Taoist priest taught me a game of chess in order to repay me, which is called Wenxin chess. People with an open mind will read it."
It's useless, but once a sinister villain looks at it, he will fall into an illusion. As for what he will encounter, he doesn't know. I have used it in Wenzhou before, but now that Zhou She is unwilling to do anything, I am going to let Zhou She do it in front of him.
In front of these corpses, ask yourself if he really has a clear conscience!"
Zhou She was not so easily fooled into being able to kill people and make money. Although he had heard that Wang Yue could communicate with ghosts and gods, he still felt that instead of continuing to be beaten, it would be better to follow Wang Yue's wishes. If he was fine, he could still take advantage of the opportunity to escape.
But what Zhou She thought was quite beautiful. When he actually placed a chess piece on the chessboard where Wang Yueduan passed, the scene changed instantly and turned into the haunted grove, and the sky turned dark.
In the drizzle, the onlookers, including Zhao Pan'er, Wang Cai, and even the magistrate Xu Yongdu, stood on their backs with chills as they watched Zhou She call out the names of each woman with fear and trembling, begging them to be spared.
The people around him had heard rumors that Wang Shaoqing could judge the yin and yang of Huaishen, but they didn't expect it to be true. Now it is certain that Zhou She is haunted by the souls of those wronged women.
Wang Yue saw that the time was almost up, so he decisively removed the illusion of Zhenlong chess game, and asked Zhou She with a smile, "Now, do you want to move or not? If not, you can continue to chat with the women behind you.
"
When Zhou She heard what Wang Yue said, he was so frightened that he no longer dared to resist. You must know that those evil ghosts almost ate him, which was something that would prevent him from being reincarnated forever. Now he just wants to die quickly and has no intention of resisting at all.
, he collapsed on the ground and said anxiously, "I'll move, I'll move!"
Terrified, Zhou She confessed the situation in detail and let everyone know the identity of the corpse. It turned out to be a lowly woman from all over the country.
After Zhou She signed and signed the pledge, Wang Cai had already assisted Zhao Pan'er in calculating all the money Zhou She had lost in gambling houses and mortgaged in pawn shops, which amounted to several thousand dollars.
At the same time, it was also "accidentally" discovered that most of the money obtained from these gambling houses flowed into the pockets of the Huating County Magistrate. No accident, the Huating County Magistrate brought disaster to Huating County by controlling the casinos, killing dozens of people.
As soon as the case was concluded, Wang Yue directly used the imperial decree that the emperor had not retracted to dismiss the Huating County magistrate and investigate the case, and handed it over to Xu Zhizhou for continued trial, while Zhou She sentenced Qiu Hou.
Wang Yue did not waste any time, and handled the affairs of Xiuzhou Navy in Xiuzhou to give Xu Yong face. He immediately set off for Suzhou without investigating further.
You must know that Suzhou is the territory of Xiao Qinyan, the leader of the rear party. He has given him so long time to clean up the situation. He must show it to Qingliu.
Xiao Qinyan was already prepared for Wang Yue's sudden acceleration to Suzhou. As expected, nothing was found. Wang Yue just dealt with a group of prisoners from the Suzhou Navy and was ready to return to Beijing to resume his duties.
...
Wang Yue knew that because of the Song Dynasty's stupid logic of not killing scholar-bureaucrats, the county magistrate's political future was at best hopeless. He would be fine. If his family had a strong background, he could continue to bring trouble to the countryside, so he didn't bother to bother. Anyway, at present
The position has already surpassed his official authority.
The group of people who were planning to set off to the north went back to Jiaxing, the Xiuzhou Administrative Office, and were delayed for a day because Song Yinzhang's maid Yinping had something to do with Pipa. When the group set out again, it was a little late, but they unexpectedly saw Gu.
Qianfan, dressed in blood, and a young man were running wildly.
Wang Cai glanced at Wang Yue and found that Wang Yue didn't stop him, so he rushed to save people.
The group of pursuers originally thought they were chasing two homeless dogs, but they didn't expect there were helpers. One of them was killed by Wang Cai, a long-range crossbowman, and together with Gu Qianfan, they quickly killed them all.
Wang Yue looked at the embarrassed Gu Qianfan and said helplessly, "Why do you feel so miserable every time I see you? Are we destined to be at odds with each other?"
Gu Qianfan breathed a sigh of relief when he saw Wang Yue joking with him. He glanced at the big ship on the river, frowned and said, "I didn't want to either. I didn't expect that I was betrayed. I wonder if Mr. Wang can let Guard Wang take some of them with him?"
Personally, come with me to clean up the door?"
Wang Yue could guess that there must be something wrong with the Imperial City Division's station in Xiuzhou. That was the Imperial City Division's business. It was not convenient for him to ask more questions, so he agreed to Gu Qianfan's request, and went up with Zhao Pan'er and his party.
Big ship.
...
Wang Yue was reading a Taoist book. He guessed that when he met the emperor, he would definitely be asked about the Taoist scriptures. After all, his ability to question minds was already legendary, so he had to be prepared. Although he didn't have to be flattering, he still had to answer.
It's up to you to understand some Taoist scriptures and it's in line with common sense. You don't have to worry about Qingliu's questioning.
Zhao Pan'er felt very uncomfortable with Wang Yue's handling of the recent cases, so she walked into the cabin a little depressed, sat down next to Wang Yue, and glumly picked up a glass of water and drank it down in one gulp.
Wang Yue looked at Gu Pan'er's expression and knew what she was thinking, so he asked with a smile, "Are you feeling angry because those county magistrates do evil to the county, but they can be treated lightly?"
Zhao Pan'er nodded and did not hide her feelings. She said a little aggrievedly, "My father was the inspector of the military capital of Ningbian at that time. He only saved the people who were massacred by the Liao people during the peace negotiations. My whole family was killed."
Sentenced to exile, my father Lin was beaten with twenty military sticks before he was exiled. He died when he arrived at the place of exile. As a result, my mother and I were helpless and became homeless. And a county magistrate was
If someone is in trouble, the most they can do is to be dismissed from their post, investigated and sent to Lingnan. This is simply ridiculous. One saves someone and the other harms someone, but the results are similar."
Wang Yue didn't know how to evaluate it. Emperors were timid and afraid of getting into trouble. Of course they were afraid of military commanders becoming bigger. He could only change his mind and said, "This is why I want to be a pirate king. Such imperial military officers are as worthless as grass."
Corruption among civil servants is rampant, and I really don’t feel reassured that future generations may be caught in the flames of war again.”
Zhao Pan'er knew that Wang Yue was not very optimistic about the future of the Song Dynasty, but she had nothing to do now, so she sighed and said helplessly, "That will happen in the future, but the matter between Yin Zhang and I is difficult to reconcile.
.”
Wang Yue looked at Gu Pan'er's indignant look. With a thought, he could think of a problem, and he could try Gu Pan'er's method, and said with a smile, "If his wife is really upset, she can let Wang Jing and Wang Ke
They brought him in, destroyed the magistrate, and divided his ill-gotten gains."
Zhao Pan'er looked at Wang Yue in surprise. He didn't expect that Wang Yue's behavior was completely different from that of today's scholar-bureaucrats. She didn't know that Wang Yue was testing her ability and character. She just thought that Wang Yue was doting on her, so she nodded and said,
"Thank you very much for your love, sir. I just want to help Yin Zhang breathe a sigh of relief."
Wang Yue nodded and called Wang Cai over, asking him to follow Zhao Pan'er's wishes.
Two answers happened in Xiuzhou overnight. One was that the stronghold of the Imperial City Secretary in Xiuzhou was taken away, and the district official Wan Qi died unexpectedly. The other was that the home of the magistrate of Huating County, who had just been dismissed and investigated, was stolen.
All the huge wealth obtained for Hua Huating has disappeared.
What is even more surprising is that the magistrate of Huating County who was in prison actually committed suicide. This man was very determined to die. He stabbed himself dozens of times with sharpened chopsticks.
hole, and he died unfortunately.
This made those members of the rear party who were a little alienated because of Wang Yue's investigation of the case remain silent and became obedient, and no longer dared to rebel.
Wang Yue didn't care that Zhao Pan'er helped the rear party in disguise. Anyway, these little shrimps were not his target. He could see from this incident that although Zhao Pan'er's vision was not broad enough, he could still kill them.
Being decisive, I can safely leave the affairs of the back house to her.
In the cabin heading north, Zhao Pan'er heard the traveling merchant talking about this matter, and quickly explained to Wang Yue, "I arranged for someone to take the county magistrate's property, but I did not go to jail to commit the murder. I was worried that something was wrong."
.”
Wang Yue twitched the corner of his mouth. It seemed that his evaluation was too high. However, it was understandable when he thought that she was originally afraid of officials and did not dare to take action. He nodded casually and said, "An Xin, I have expected it."
Zhao Pan'er didn't expect Wang Yue to say that, so she asked with some fear, "Could it be that your husband arranged for someone else to do the death of the county magistrate?"
Wang Yue rolled his eyes at Zhao Pan'er, what is this girl thinking? Since he let Zhao Pan'er handle it, he will never interfere. As long as the secret is not leaked, everything will be easy to talk about.
Just looking at Zhao Pan'er's uneasy eyes, he could only explain patiently, "What are you thinking about? You think that the magistrate of Huating County is corrupt. It is impossible that there is no news about it, but he is calmly causing harm to Huating. It's not even possible."
Nothing happens, don’t you think it’s strange?”
Zhao Pan'er thought of the county magistrate in Qiantang who secretly allowed foreign ships to dock. Xiao Yao was still free for so many years, but Wang Yue just checked and arrested so many people. She thought of the Sifang Gambling House in Qiantang, frowned, and asked in confusion
He asked, "Is this also a case of concealment?"
Wang Yue nodded and said helplessly, "Yes, the Song Dynasty became ill after only three generations. If there is no strong emperor or minister to extend his life, he probably won't be able to survive for many years."
Zhao Pan'er used to think that it was not easy for a lowly woman, but now she thought about how easy it was for ordinary people. Even the generals were frightened, and the civil servants were corrupt, which made her suddenly feel disillusioned with the prosperous Song Dynasty.
...
Outside Wang Yue's house in Jiuyun Lane, Wang Yue glanced at a courtyard in the alley, and then walked into the courtyard.
The reason why Wang Yue chose this alley is because it is the Sheng Mansion. I don’t know if it is related to the Sheng family in Zhifu, but they both live in the same location by coincidence, and Wang Yue’s courtyard is also in Zhifu, Tokyo.
's courtyard.
But Cuiyun Lane is still there, Minglan doesn’t know where she has gone.
Zhao Pan'er is a thoughtful person. She noticed Wang Yue's gaze and just thought that the Sheng family in it might be a family worth getting along with, so she kept it in her heart.
Wang Yue looked at Zhao Pan'er, whose eyes were wandering. He didn't know that she was thinking wrong, so he smiled and said, "Pan'er, I just asked Wang Cai to inquire about the news. The Gao family has no daughter to get married recently, but the Gao family's daughter is engaged.
It's true, but as for the date of the wedding, it was postponed because the queen's adopted son was ill."
Zhao Pan'er observed Wang Yue's expression for a while and found nothing. Then she took her mind back. Thinking of Ouyang Xu, she sighed and said, "Forget it, leave him alone. He and I are already strangers, and I don't want to mention it again."
This disgusting person."
This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! Wang Yue reached out and took Pan'er's hand, walked through the corridor into the backyard, and then asked with a smile, "What you just said is true.
Aren't you afraid that I'll be jealous?"
Zhao Pan'er nodded, with happiness in her eyes, and said with some choking, "For me, you first saved Sanniang and vented her anger, then you saved Yinzhang, and you also stood up for Yinzhang. I know that Yuelang is against
My heart, I am not a stone."
Wang Yue held Zhao Pan'er in his arms, and suddenly said with a smile, "That is to say, our Pan'er is happy with me now?"
After all, they were an old couple. Zhao Pan'er felt hot all over when Wang Yue looked at her. She subconsciously thought of Wang Yue's many tricks, so she gave Wang Yue a slap and said in embarrassment, "Why are you so unruly?"
Would Wang Yue recognize this? He shook his head and said, "No, no, food and sex are the same. Confucius said so?"
Zhao Pan'er was stunned for a moment. She had also read less. Is there any other explanation? Could it be that her husband was distorting the words of the saint, so he asked suspiciously, "Really? Ah~"
Wang Yue did not continue to answer. He was ready to use actions to prove it was true. He easily picked up Zhao Pan'er and walked to the inner room.
Zhao Pan'er didn't have time to ask any more questions. He hung up in the air, and soon he was inside the curtain.
...
On the second day after entering Beijing, Wang Yue first went to Dali Temple to sign up, and wanted to adapt to the new position as soon as possible. However, before his buttocks got hot, he was summoned to the palace by the officials.
After Wang Yue saluted, the official first asked about some things about Wenzhou and Zhejiang, and then changed his tone and suddenly asked kindly, "My dear, I heard that you met an immortal master when you were young, so you learned
Can the art of questioning the mind summon ghosts and gods?"
Wang Yue twitched the corner of his mouth, and he finally understood that no wonder his promotion to Dali City Shaoqing was so smooth. The relationship was not only because of Yan Xiang's fancy, but also because the emperor was a Taoist fan.
Sure enough, things about ghosts and gods spread quickly. Wang Yue looked at the hopeful officials and suddenly felt that although the emperor was timid, it was not without its benefits. At least he was easy to fool.
So, Wang Yue bowed and saluted again, glanced at the curious baby-like emperor, and then quickly explained, "Yes and no, I did save a Taoist priest when I was young. He gave me a box of Go.
Using Go, you can use the art of asking the mind. As for whether there are ghosts and gods, I don’t know and have never seen them.”
The official was stunned for a moment, not expecting this result, and immediately asked, "But why do the rumors say that you can communicate with yin and yang and summon ghosts and gods to help handle cases?"
