In the next two days, Feng Ziying concentrated on reviewing the files, and also called in several senior officials from the execution room to inquire about the situation, and gained a more detailed understanding of the entire case.
To be precise, the case is not complicated, but the relationship between these people is complicated. In Feng Ziying's view, the Su family brothers, Zheng and Jiang Ziqi, are more likely to commit murder.
The three brothers of the Su family are all legitimate sons. Although Su Daqiang took away property worth thousands of taels of silver, which made them very dissatisfied, but is it worth it to hire a murderer? Feng Ziying personally feels that the possibility is relatively small. As for whether he would do it with his own hands
Murder is even more impossible. Two brothers can basically be ruled out. The only one that cannot be ruled out is Feng Ziying. Feng Ziying feels that if she takes the time to check, she can find a way to rule it out.
His current idea is to use the elimination method to eliminate as soon as possible the ones that he thinks are least likely. As for the Zheng family, Feng Ziying feels that there are other weird things inside that are more likely.
Mrs. Zheng has something to do with Concubine Zheng, and Concubine Zheng should also know that if it is really a murder case, if she gets involved rashly, she will be involved in the future, but she still intervenes, which means that it should have nothing to do with the murder case.
right.
There must be some other unspeakable secret that led to such reckless intervention, but it should have nothing to do with this case. Of course, this is Feng Ziying's own judgment and needs to be corroborated.
For Feng Ziying, this is not a bad thing. Although the Zheng family is just a noble concubine, her father has some background. The biggest advantage of being an official in Shuntian Mansion is that she can get to know and recruit various human resources.
Feng Ziying never expected to rely solely on like-minded ideals or network resources such as classmates and teachers to be successful. According to the United Front, in order to achieve the goal, make as many friends as possible and make enemies as many as possible.
Little by little, this is a universal truth, and of course he will not give up.
As for Jiang Ziqi, Feng Ziying thinks that the possibility is the greatest. The most important point is that he said that he lived in the dock warehouse, but he showed up in front of the warehouse watchmen to prove his presence, but later there was no
There is no way to prove it. The more someone deliberately reveals their whereabouts, the more likely it is that Feng Ziying thinks it is.
In Feng Ziying's view, the investigation in Tongzhou was not detailed enough, and there was still a lot of work that could be investigated more carefully. Some details can often play a vital role.
"Wen Yan, what do you think?" Feng Ziying finally read all the files and carefully read some important confessions. She felt that there were no problems, so she called Wang Wenyan.
Wang Wenyan was a prison clerk and was very familiar with cases like this. "What do you think, sir?"
"I want to hear your opinion first." Feng Ziying smiled and shook her head.
"Well, let me tell you, I think the possibility of the Su brothers is unlikely. I have learned that the Su brothers are not the kind of domineering characters in Tongzhou. That is to say, they are not angry that Su Daqiang's mother can be a geisha.
The old man has been happy for decades. Su Daqiang and his mother were originally outlaws. Later, Mr. Su was brought into the family when he was older. No wonder the Su brothers always think that Su Daqiang is a bastard..."
Wang Wenyan spoke concisely and to the point, "Su Daqiang's two brothers have always been honest and have no dealings with the world. They can't do such things as paying people to kill people, and they don't dare to do it themselves. If they let the subordinates of the clan, they will teach others."
Handle, don't expect to live in peace for the rest of your life. With the meticulous nature of the Su brothers' business, they won't be like this... Su Daqiang is somewhat powerful. Most people can't beat him. Only the fourth son of the Su family, who is not a good gambler.
I like to go to a brothel, so my family property is almost ruined, and I have contact with those bachelors and thugs on the ground. I always hope to get Su Daqiang's share of the family property back to me. Even if I can't get it back completely, I can talk about the current situation by getting a part of it back.
Dilemma, with certain possibilities,..."
Feng Ziying nodded slightly. Wang Wenyan's views were basically the same as his, but this Su Laosi...
"Su Laosi, do you think the possibility is high?"
Wang Wenyan smiled and shook his head: "Actually, I think Su Laosi is the least likely,..."
"Oh?" Feng Ziying was confused.
"Because of this guy's later performance, after Su Daqiang's death, this guy hurriedly came to the door, saying that Su Daqiang's family property should not be so large, and that part of it should belong to the Su family. The implication was that it should belong to him, and he also made a fuss to find Su Daqiang.
The head of the family came to redistribute the family property fairly and had a huge quarrel with Mrs. Zheng. Mrs. Zheng was also a little afraid of this brother-in-law and gave in step by step..."
Wang Wenyan laughed and said, "Sir, under common sense, if you were the suspect, would you make such a fuss about it in such a public way, lest the world didn't know about it?"
Feng Ziying smiled, "What if this guy deliberately pretends to be righteous in order to show that he has a clear conscience?"
"It's not unreasonable for adults to say this, but as far as Wen Yan knows, Su Laosi is simple-minded and has no plan to do things. It seems that he can't think so deeply. In addition, it is understood that Su Laosi has been making trouble with his eldest brother and second brother.
, believed that the share of the family property was less, and asked his two brothers to redistribute part of the property to him. The two sides are still in a stalemate. I think that in this state, it is unlikely that he will suddenly murder Su Daqiang..."
Feng Ziying nodded, Wang Wenyan's view was quite reasonable.
There is no reason why he is still fighting for the family property with his two brothers, and suddenly wants to kill someone to seize the family property of a concubine brother. What's more, even if he kills his brother, it is not his turn to get the property alone. This risk
It's so inconsistent with the returns.
"Wen Yan, what we say is all conjecture. If we really want to rule out Su Laosi, we must have real evidence." Feng Ziying nodded, "I plan to go to Tongzhou tomorrow to see the situation there."
"You really should go to Tongzhou for a visit. This case was handled by the previous magistrate of Tongzhou when he was in office. It is said that the previous magistrate was not too concerned about the case and thought that these families were all difficult to deal with, so he blindly left it to the prefecture.
, The current magistrate Fang Kezhuang took office together with the Lord. He was originally the magistrate of Dingzhou in Baoding Prefecture and was promoted. It is said that he is quite capable."
Wang Wenyan already had an understanding of these situations.
"Well, I know Fang Kezhuang. He and I are fellow villagers from Qingzhou." Feng Ziying nodded. This man is indeed talented, but he has a bit of a stubborn temperament and doesn't like to make friends. Logically speaking, he is from Yuanxi Thirty-Nine's side.
He was a Jinshi, and he was a second-class Jinshi. Although he failed to become a Shujishi, he stayed in the Metropolitan Procuratorate for a few years, and later went to Dingzhou as the magistrate, and then moved to Tongzhou as the magistrate. This was already considered a relatively poor situation.
Yes.
"Well, I heard that after he took office, he also rectified local security, especially in the Tongzhou Pier area, where tigers were rampant. When he took office, he killed many people, two of whom were directly beaten to death in the lobby, which also attracted
The world is looking at it with side eyes, but the local response is still relatively good."
Feng Ziying also heard about this situation after she took office. Tongzhou is the most important chokepoint of the capital city. Countless business travelers pass through it every day. Without a more powerful local official, it would really be difficult to live and eat. It seems that Fang Zhizhou is still
You did a great job, I would like to go and meet him for a while.
*********
Before going to Tongzhou, Feng Ziying first went to visit Qiao Yingjia.
Now Qiao Yingjia is the censor of Youdu and is already the number two figure in the Metropolitan Procuratorate. In addition, he is also the leader of the Shanxi scholars. He is finally quite prestigious among the scholars in the North. In the case of Su Daqiang, the Jiang family where Jiang Ziqi belongs is in the Metropolitan Procuratorate.
Both the Imperial Academy and the Dali Temple have connections, and the Su family has people in the City Patrol Court, all of whom are inextricably linked to the Metropolitan Procuratorate. If we don’t explain the matter clearly first, we will inevitably be attacked as soon as we get started.
All kinds of constraints.
Qiao Yingjia didn't say anything after listening to Feng Ziying's introduction. It was not Feng Ziying's turn to investigate the case, but Feng Ziying wanted to quickly open up the situation and establish her prestige. It was undoubtedly a good idea to make an issue on such a well-known case.
Of course, Qiao Yingjia must support this choice.
Qiao Yingjia will go to say hello to Jiang Xuchuan. The case has been dragged on for so long, and it will definitely not work without a thorough investigation. If it continues like this, it will harm the reputation of any company.
The same goes for Su Yunqian. The censors of the City Patrol Court are all from the Metropolitan Court. Of course, when they go to the City Patrol Court, they will basically not be too attached to the Metropolitan Court, but the origin is still there.
See, no one wants to make a grudge against a big boss like Qiao Yingjia.
It actually doesn’t take long to go to Tongzhou by land from the capital city. It mainly depends on how you walk. If you drive all the way, you can get there in less than half a day, but if you want to go slowly in an official sedan, you can’t get there in a day.
If it's a carriage, one day is just right.
Feng Zongying left a little earlier and took a carriage. Horseback riding was still a bit rude for civil servants. Although Feng Ziying didn't think so, he couldn't go against the opinions of the scholars.
Before leaving, Cao Yu was also recruited by Feng Ziying. Since An Xin wants to handle this case well, the necessary publicity must keep up, but the prerequisite is that the case can be solved perfectly.
"I've met Mr. Feng." Fang Kezhuang saw the carriage from a long way away. He didn't like this kind of welcome and delivery, but Feng Ziying followed the carriage easily and stated in advance that he was only here for the case and nothing else. He was so knowledgeable.
Naturally, Fang Kezhuang will not be too cold, and he still needs to follow the rules that should be followed.
"Master Fang, you're so polite. Linqing is not far from Qingzhou. Ziying has heard of Master Fang's talent a long time ago. I'm lucky enough to meet him today..."
Feng Ziying was very polite. Fang Kezhuang had a better impression of Feng Ziying. In the past, he only thought that this was Qi Yongtai's favorite protégé. He had some talents, but more importantly, he was lucky and supported by big bosses. But he was so humble, which made him
The impression has changed somewhat.
Feeling that Fang Kezhuang was a person who did not like to be polite, Feng Ziying went straight to the topic after a few pleasantries.
