Seeing that the situation was not good, Liang San wanted to take the lead and frighten Yuan Kong with his momentum. Unexpectedly, Yuan Kong was not frightened and let Yin Jian block him back.
"Yuankong, do you really not know this person?"
"I'm telling you, sir, I've never seen this person before. The poor monk has been a monk since he was a child and has never had close contact with secular people. Except for alms, eating fast and chanting Buddha's name, he has never interacted with this person, so he has no friendship with him. Amitabha!" Yuan Kong finished speaking.
, chanted "Buddha", then closed his eyes and said nothing.
"Okay! I understand."
Yin Jian said, then read the divination book and think about what questions to ask. Suddenly, Yin Jian's nursing home servant ran in. He hurriedly looked panicked and said when he came in: "Tell me, the prefect Yao has invited you! Please immediately
Go there without making any mistakes."
When Yin Jian saw the servants coming, he was a little nervous. Such servants who guard the courtyard usually do not come to deliver messages. The war has just ended and the current situation is turbulent. If there is any slight disturbance, everything will be attacked easily, which makes people panic.
"Okay, I already know." Yin Jian said, then he turned to Bu Huishu and said: "Master, how do you think we should deal with it?"
"The master has his own way," Bu Huishu said.
"Okay, master, take Liang San and Yuan Kong back to the county government office and put the suspect in prison pending trial. I will go to interview the magistrate and then come back to continue the interrogation." Yin Jian said.
The master took the order and took the suspect back to the county office, while Yin Jian hurried to Master Yao's house.
Master Yao's courtyard is simply laid out and pursues minimalist decoration. It looks simple and elegant, like a temple, with carved beams and painted buildings. The colors are mainly quiet and elegant. The bricks and tiles are simple. From the outside, it looks like a temple or academy. Every time Yin Jian comes to visit
After a visit, you will have to think for several days when you return. Doesn’t the prefect have money to decorate? Everything is in its original state. Is it to return to nature and integrate with heaven and earth?
Yin Jian has a very good relationship with Mr. Yao. However, interpersonal relationships are delicate. If he gets too close, the superiors may be suspicious. He still handles some relationships with a head.
There are informers around adults.
This time, the prefect Yao wanted to find Yin Jian and tell Yin Jian some of the most important things. He had already determined that something was going to happen. If he did it well this time, it would be fine. If he didn't do it well, Yin Jian would not be able to hold his official position.
The black gauze hat is about to fall off, but it is still uncertain whether the head will fall off. Being an official is like dancing with wolves, or walking with tigers. You know that you are weak, but you have to follow. If you stay away, there is danger.
When they arrived at the study, Lord Yao was sitting and waiting. When he saw someone announcing that Yin Jian was coming, he immediately stood up to greet him. As a lower-level official, it was rare to receive such treatment from Lord Yao, which shows that their relationship is extraordinary.
"Brother Yin, are you alright?" Lord Yao said in greeting.
"Thank you for your greetings, brother. There have been several life cases recently. Brother is currently handling them. Fortunately, we have found talents. As a master, it is very suitable to help others. When I sent someone to go, my servants rushed to the temple from the house to find out.
News." Yin Jian said.
"In the temple?"
"Exactly."
"What temple?"
"Martial Temple."
"Who is being worshiped?"
"Resist the Xiongnu General Wei Qing!"
"It's over now. Brother! Change it quickly."
"What's wrong? Why do you say wind is rain? You have to give a reason, right?" Yin Jian asked.
"I don't know what I know. The emperor is planning to issue an edict to remove all the temples across the country dedicated to the famous heroes who fought against the Huns and replace them with Guan Yu and Guan Yunchang, who is Guan Gong, the God of War." Prefect Yao said.
"I understand. The local people are used to worshiping Wei Qing. I'm afraid it won't work if I change it to Guan Gong." Yin Jian said.
"You see, if I want to hold my head, I have to make a choice. I learned the news first and told him. If I make a mistake, I will be powerless. We want to protect the emperor, not the people. The people
There are many, but there is only one emperor. Are you going to climb up, or are you willing to fall down and become a common people?" Master Yao said.
"Yes, to be honest, you can't offend both sides. If you don't make decisions for the people when you are an official, you might as well go home and sell sweet potatoes. If you don't uphold the emperor's authority, you will offend Long Yan and lose your head. It's really a dilemma."
"I think you are stubborn. The martial arts temple does not say that it must enshrine a general. There are so many national heroes. Who is worshiped is not the same? There are so many martial arts temples across the country! Who should be worshiped and who should not be worshiped? The people can decide at home. Between the temples
"You must listen to the emperor. What the emperor says is the law, a golden rule, and it cannot be changed one stroke at a time. Think about it, is this the truth?" Lord Yao said.
"Master!" A maid trotted in softly and said, "Master, it's time for the old lady to have dinner."
"Okay! Bring it up." Master Yao ordered.
"Brother, to tell you the truth, because time was urgent and I didn't check the time, it was really inappropriate to invite me to the house at this time." Master Yao said.
"It's okay, it's okay. The old lady wants to have a meal because she doesn't care about the time. If she is delayed, she will be offended."
"Brother, don't be polite."
After a while, someone brought a bowl of plain noodles.
When the noodles are boiled in water, there is no oil, no meat, no leeks, onions, etc.
When Yin Jian saw it, he found it strange that the noodles did not have onions and leeks and were not delicious at all. What was going on?
Master Yao saw that Yin Jian was a little confused, so he smiled and said, "Brother, do you think my mother's taste is unusual? Why not use leeks or shredded green onions? Tell the truth, my mother eats fast and prays to Buddha. Buddhists taboo these spicy foods with onions and leeks."
Onions are the first of the five spices and should never be eaten. This is a taboo in Buddhist diet."
"No wonder? No wonder?" Yin Jian said, almost talking to himself.
"What did man say?"
"Oh, brother, I was investigating a case just now, and I thought that onions and leeks were planted in the temple. I guess the person who grew the vegetables did not understand the rules, or broke the rules and did not abide by the rules." Yin Jian said.
"Yeah, my mother is merciful and won't eat those. My mother's plain noodles are not delicacies from the mountains and seas. It's not that my younger brother can't afford to buy them. It's just that my mother doesn't eat them. The plain noodles alone are enough. And my mother must ask my younger brother to serve them personally with cups and dishes.
My mother and others are not allowed to approach my mother. In recent years, it has been my younger brother who has been doing these filial piety things," Master Yao said.
"As a prefect, I am very humble, filial to my mother, very respectable, and worthy of my brother's study. But now I am busy with official duties and have no time to communicate further. I just have one thing that I don't understand. Why can't the Martial Temple enshrine General Wei Qing?
"Yin Jian asked.
"This little brother is also unknown. There are reports from the court that the emperor and the Huns are on good terms and living in peace. In addition, the emperor has some relations with the Huns. It is said that the emperor's mother is a Huns. Now there is no war. The Huns
I don’t want to revisit the past, and I don’t want the Han people to enshrine their own heroes, their enemies at that time. This is probably what they meant. The specific details are not clear. Since the emperor has this intention, we can’t disobey orders, can we? While handling the case, prepare to go
Replace the statues enshrined in the Martial Temple and change them all to worship Emperor Guan. Do you understand? Aren’t they all the same? They are all heroes. I have been told repeatedly by the superiors. I hope that I will take it seriously and not be careless. I will probably not be able to handle this matter and treat it like a sloppy eye.
That's not possible." Master Yao said.
"Don't worry, brother, I will take this matter to heart, but there is one more thing I want to find out, that is, have you heard about Hu Yanping?"
"Hu Yanping? I've heard of it. Yes, he is a Huns. He is a famous rich man. He made a fortune through the Silk Road and has a good relationship with the emperor."
"Hmm, then have you heard of his son named Hu Yanshu?"
"I've never heard of that."
"Okay, brother, I have nothing to say. Without delaying my brother, go and deliver the meal to my mother. Brother, I won't go to say hello. I have something important to do, and I need to rush back immediately. You see, Soumen needs to take advantage of the opportunity.
It's hot and I really can't disturb you, so I'll say goodbye!" Yin Jian said.
"Okay, I won't send you far away. Remember my little brother's words. You must obey the orders from above!" Master Yao said.
Yin Jian rushed to the county government office to hear the case overnight.
"Inform Liang San, Yuan Kong. Invite the teacher, the clerk will be present, and all the government officials will be waiting for dispatch." Yin Jian ordered.
After a while, everyone arrived.
"Liang San, I want to ask you, what evidence do you have for saying that Yuan Kong may be the murderer?" Yin Jian asked.
"I'll tell you, sir, Xiaomin does look like Yuan Kong. I'm not sure, because the bald person is not necessarily a monk, he can also be bald. Besides, Xiaomin is drunk, his eyes are dim, and he may be confused. I just guess it's him.
Look at the figure, look at the movements, look at the clothes. It all looks like it, but I’m not sure, it’s only Xiaomin present. If there are other people present, it will be more accurate." Liang Sanyan said.
"Okay, please step back and wait for news." Yin Jian ordered, and two government officials came over and escorted Liang San down to wait for orders.
When Liang San walked away, Yin Jian asked sternly: "Yuankong, you are so brave!"
His voice shouted out, making Yuan Kong tremble with fright. The originally ferocious look of Huyanshu, the face twisted and deformed in pain, made people wet their pants in fright. When he heard Yin Jian's voice like thunder, he was immediately frightened.
, my head is buzzing, and it’s not enough. It seems that it’s impossible not to recruit. If I don’t recruit, I will be beaten, go to jail, and finally be beheaded or executed by Lingchi. The more I think about it, the more scared I am, so I still confess.
Come on!
"Sir, the poor monk is guilty, the poor monk is guilty!"
When Yin Jian heard this, he thought there was something going on! Don’t bring it upon yourself! It seems that having a loud voice has certain benefits!
"Say it!"
"The poor monk did become a monk for a reason. Because the poor monk had a childhood sweetheart named Xiaoqin, who was snatched away by Hu Yanshu. From then on, the poor monk saw through the world of mortals and entered Buddhism. That Hu Yanshu liked the new and disliked the old.
, Xiao Qin was mistreated, could not bear the humiliation, and committed suicide by hanging from a beam. The poor monk was powerless and could not punish Hu Yanshu. The locals knew about this matter. Liang San must have also told the master some outlines, but the details are unknown. Because everyone in the world knows
Knowing that the poor monk has a grudge against Hu Yanshu for taking away his wife, he will definitely put suspicion on the poor monk, because only the poor monk has a sworn hatred for Hu Yanshu. Only by killing Hu Yanshu can the hatred in his heart be relieved. Just right,
God has eyes, so he sent Hu Yanshu to the martial arts temple to take this opportunity to kill people. People never expected that Hu Yanshu would die in the temple, so they would not be suspicious of the poor monk. In order to avoid suspicion, the poor monk lied from the beginning, which should not be done.
, The crime deserves death! However, the reason why the poor monk lied is because he is afraid that the master will suspect that the poor monk had a grudge with the deceased and mistakenly think that he is the murderer. In fact, Hu Yanshu was not killed by the poor monk. Even if the poor monk hates Hu Yanshu, he will do it.
I can’t help it. The poor monk is indeed from the same hometown as Liang San. He was afraid that he would talk nonsense and make the master suspicious of the poor monk, so he lied and said that he didn’t know Liang San. These are all the truth. I hope the master will find out and forgive the poor monk for lying.
My mistake has affected the progress of the master's handling of the case, I'm really sorry!" Yuan Kongyan said.
After hearing this, Yin Jian was immediately confused. He didn't know what to say. His mouth opened and he couldn't close it. It was not a smile, but like crying. Bu Huishu knew that the investigation was at a deadlock. So he said "Uh-huh" twice to remind Yin.
Jian, it looks like I'm taking a break and I have something to say.
Yin Jian understood and asked everyone to disperse temporarily, letting Yuan Kong sign and stamp the transcript, and then went to the study, leaving only the master alone.
"Master, should this case be closed? Don't torture me," Yin Jian said.
"Hehehe, yes. It proves that I am getting smarter and smarter!"
"how do I say this?"
"Master, you can be promoted to court. If you can do this and that, you will definitely solve the case!" Bu Huishu said.
When Yin Jian heard this, he suddenly became enlightened and was overjoyed. He shouted: "Shengtang!"
Everyone shouted, "Mighty!"
It was getting late, and huge candles were lit in the hall, almost like torches, illuminating the inside and outside of the hall as brightly as day.
"Bring Liang San to trial!" Yin Jian ordered.
Everyone is confused as to why Liang San was promoted instead of Yuan Kong?
"Scribe, please record it truthfully. Write clearly. If you can't remember or keep up, you can remind me to slow down." Yin Jian said.
"Okay, it's okay, sir, I'll try to keep up with you," Shu Li said.
Liang San was interrogated. When Yin Jian saw him coming, he immediately slapped the tree on the case hard.
"Snapped--"
Liang San was so frightened that he began to tremble all over. Involuntarily, his calves began to tremble. He couldn't control it and couldn't move. He was completely disobedient. His soles softened and he knelt down with a "pop" sound.
"Liang San, do you know your guilt?" Yin Jian asked sternly.
Liang San felt empty in his heart and had no idea anymore. The situation reversed and went down sharply, which was very unfavorable to him. He originally wanted to frame others and give Yuan Kong the blame, but he didn't expect that the blame was thrown over his head and turned out to be flying around.
, actually came back!
The instinctive desire to survive became stronger and stronger, and his lips trembled as he said: "I don't know..."
"This is the second time I ask you, do you know your guilt?"
Liang San took the risk and forced himself to say: "The common people don't know the crime..."
"This officer is asking you for the last time, Liang San, do you know your guilt?"
"Small......"
Before Liang could say anything, Yin Jian stopped him sternly, and then said: "At that time, you said in the martial arts temple that Hu Yanshu knelt down and worshiped the statue of General Wei Qing? Is that right?"
"That's what Xiaomin said at the time. But..." Liang San said.
"I'm asking you if you are, Liang San. You only need to answer yes or no without any explanation. Do you understand?" Yin Jian said.
