The heat on the riverside makes people sweat all over as long as they move slightly in the sun. The most scorching hours or two during the day are unbearable to anyone, from the magistrate of a province to the common man. Everyone was hiding under the eaves, drinking tea and shaking folding fans to escape the scorching heat.
Shen Ye was thinking about the case in his mind, so he did not go to escape the summer heat. He asked for a pot of tea and plunged into the archives of the Wuding Jinyiwei Command Post. Although he was only a general commander now, he was still a person from the Jinlin Town Prefecture Division. It was unreasonable to go deep into the Wudingwei command post to check other people's records, but the commanders on both sides had already dealt with each other. Everyone also knew that he was about to be promoted to a hundred households, so they had the right to treat him as dedicated to investigating the case and not dare to do anything.
For Shen Ye, many of his suspicions have been confirmed, but after all, this is a matter involving tens of thousands of lives, a shocking case that can shock the entire empire.
This matter was really too big, so big that he didn't dare to face it, and he was afraid to face it. He couldn't imagine how the king in the court would react if he learned about everything here. The temptation of the Supreme Being, in this world Who can give up? Shen Ye knows this very well. Since the Chengwang lineage can hide here for decades, it must be deeply rooted and have been operating for a long time, not to mention that since he has sat in that seat and experienced the Nine-Five Supreme How can it be so simple and easy to remain anonymous now, forget everything and live in the world? If he breaks the earth and raises the flag, then Wuding, which has been stable for more than ninety years, will be stained with blood just like the previous troubled times. The river has corpses floating thousands of miles away.
Shen Ye would rather not have discovered all of this, and still go his own way as his own general banner, and when the time is up, he can go back and become a man of hundreds of households who "respects and loves everyone".
But now that he has seen it, he can't turn a blind eye. This is his country and his home. There are his most beloved brothers and sisters in the family. In any case, he does not want this bloody storm to sweep away the three of them.
It's just that even Song Qingfeng knew about the existence of King Cheng, so there was no reason for the empire's senior officials not to know these old things. Therefore, just the name of King Cheng and a piece of letter paper were not enough to attract the attention of the higher-ups. This is also why Shen Ye The reason for the delay in reporting.
Shen Ye also knew that a piece of letter paper and a few strokes of text were far from enough to prove that the Chengcheng Wang lineage still existed in the world. But the strange thing was that in the kidnapping case of Miss Song's family, although the employer behind it, Wu Daode, was caught , but Shen Ye learned from his mouth that there was someone else behind the scenes, and Wu Daode was just a middleman. Even this veteran in Wuding Jianghu couldn't tell the identity of this employer, and this person named him again. What I want is Miss Song. Combined with the relationship between Song Qingfeng’s ancestors and the former Jin Dynasty, these are so many clues that it is inevitable that people will have daydreams and doubts.
Shen Ye has already gone through many secrets in the case files library, but after reading many cases records about the former Jin Dynasty, there is no mention of the word "sincerity". Most of them are various big and small cases, whose son is the The reason for dying naked on the street was because he was jealous of others over a girl in a brothel; there were also cases where some foreign businessmen hooked up with widows in the city and were directly buried in the river. The body has not been found yet; naturally, The one whose name appeared most frequently in the files in recent years and the one he was most familiar with was the young master of Wuding Prefecture, Liu Ziwen.
There were dozens of cases, big and small, involving many things, but in the end they were all settled. It must have been suppressed by his father.
After going through most of the criminal files, the only record about the remnants of the former Jin Dynasty was that twenty-five years ago, someone at the foot of Wudang Mountain accidentally discovered Han Yijin, the grandson of Han Bao, the former minister of the Ministry of War of the Jin Dynasty.
A minister of the Ministry of War who fled when the city was broken was reported and arrested by his descendants several years later. Those who deserved to be caught were caught and those who deserved awards were recorded. Everything recorded was simple and smooth. Compared with the hunting of wolves and deer in the same period, this story is It was just a trivial matter that naturally failed to attract anyone's attention, and it did not contain any information that Shen Ye wanted. Just as he was about to close the file, a name in his peripheral vision made Shen Ye's eyes light up. It was hot. Reading a book in the sky was torture, it was densely packed with words, but when she looked at him, she had a headache and almost fell asleep.
There were three words in the dossier: "The essay must win", but Shen Ye became interested for a moment. He picked up the cold teapot on the table with his left hand and took a sip. His mouth was bitter for a moment, dispelling his sleepiness. He began to read carefully about himself. The glorious deeds of your immediate boss.
"...That night, Wen Bisheng from Baihu, together with his guards and soldiers, rounded up the traitor Han Yijin in the Sanmiao fishing village on the bank of the river. However, the rebels noticed it first, set fire to the house, drove ducks and birds into the water, and drove buffaloes to the door. , the soldiers of the guards and the Jin Yiwei were very frightened. Han Yijin jumped across the river in the chaos and tried to escape through the water. Fortunately, Baihu Wen Bisheng was highly skilled in martial arts and extremely intelligent, and was able to see through the conspiracy of the rebels. He jumped across the river in the cold winter to pursue and capture the thieves. In the middle of the river..."
This case occurred decades after the founding of Dawu, and it was not a major case. Although there were only a few words in the file, it was clear that there were praises for Wen Bisheng in it. Shen Ye did not expect that it turned out that the fat man The extremely amiable Commander Wen also had his youthful and passionate days. At that time, he was already a member of a hundred households, but in order to catch thieves, he took the lead in the cold winter nights and jumped directly into the river to chase the thieves.
The river water in the twelfth lunar month was bone-chilling, not to mention it was already night. Even a warrior could not bear that kind of coldness. Shen Ye smiled slightly, he did not expect that Commander Wen would have such a temper. Logically speaking, he should be a member of hundreds of households. For this kind of job of catching thieves, he could only direct and dispatch in the rear yamen, and wait for the credit to be reported to him. However, he never thought that he would personally lead the arrest, or even directly ignore his identity in order to catch the thieves. The first one jumped into the cold river. With such courage, it is no wonder that all the brothers in the town government office admired him extremely and liked him very much.
It is truly rare to have such a considerate subordinate in the Jinyiwei profession, a boss who can have a drink with everyone in the yamen and brag regardless of his status. As for two or so thousand households, they always praise the superiors and embarrass the subordinates...
Thinking of this, Shen Ye also sighed.
When the three brothers and sisters first arrived at Jinlin, Er Shen Qiye suffered from the lack of Yapai road guides, and it was difficult to gain a foothold in the city. But in the end, they were able to join the Jinyi Guards, all of which were based on Wen Bisheng. If this was placed in other places , it is impossible to do it without a hundred taels of silver.
But Wen Bisheng's reward was just a meal of wine and two kilograms of pork cheeks with the three brothers and sisters at a night stall by the Qinhuai River.
Such "help" to subordinates is not limited to their brothers and sisters in the town government office. Many banner officials of hundreds of households, as long as they are not involved in seeking money and committing crimes, Na Wen Bisheng will be generous in helping as long as they have the connections...
So after Zi Wen Bi Sheng took leave to return home to visit his wife, the yamen was replaced by Wei Wuxian, which made all the brothers extremely uncomfortable.
After withdrawing his thoughts, Shen Ye cheered up and took another dossier to continue searching for the clues he wanted.
Going through files like this is undoubtedly a needle in a haystack, but there is no better way now. Jinyiwei's eyes and ears are all over Dawu, and the records in the files in his archives are also the most detailed and reliable. If King Cheng is still in Wuding, as long as he or If the people around him are still active, they will definitely leave clues.
There was little daylight in the case-paper warehouse, which made people aware of the passage of time. The small flag officer in charge of the case-paper warehouse in the Yamen had already come over with concern and refilled tea for Shen Ye several times, and the afternoon passed like this.
Putting down a file, Shen Ye rubbed his head, stretched out in the chair, and relaxed for a while. He said to himself, "Several cases were all committed by one person. In one year, ten people were involved in stealing property and killing people." 7. Then this woodcutter is indeed extremely terrifying. Such serial cases are rare..."
"Wait, serial case?!"
Shen Ye was suddenly shocked, and then he repeatedly chanted "Serial case! Serial case! Serial case!!!"
"Yes, the case that Xiao Ye and I came over to help investigate last time was not the same at the beginning... Could it be that the kidnapping of Miss Song was also done by the same group?!"
Shen Ye suddenly started up, and drops of cold sweat broke out on his forehead. As if an idea flashed in his mind and he thought of the key information, he hurriedly ran to the wooden bookshelf to look for the recent files...
………………………
It was already dark when Shen Ye left the case library. After thanking the small flag officer in charge, Shen Ye went straight back to his residence.
There was no joy on his face, and he slowly left alone, but his steps were a little heavier than before.
After a day of hard work, Shen Ye was going to rest for a while before going to find something to eat. But when he arrived at the door of the room, before he could push the door open with both hands, his eyes suddenly went dark, and then a voice sounded leisurely behind him:
"Hey! Guess who I am?!" This chapter has been completed!
