The corpse has been highly decayed. At the heart of the corpse, a sharp blade stuck on the sternum, with blood stains.
While Zhang Shicheng was identifying the corpse, Liu Chengfeng also watched with his hands on his back. Zhang Shicheng approached the corpse because the face of the corpse was blurred, so it was difficult for him to tell it for a while. But after a long time, he finally said: "Yes."
Jiang Qiang is the helmsman of Fuyuan, he is right, he has a look, his face looks a bit like that, there is a red birthmark under his neck, the villain remembers it clearly, Your Highness..."
Zhang Shicheng's voice was choked when he saw the unrealistic situation of his former partner.
Liu Chengfeng pursed his lips slightly, and said expressionlessly: "Come here, go and notify his family. Also, let's inquire about Jiang Qiang's usual words and deeds."
After saying that, Zhang Shicheng was sent away and the coroner continued to investigate the body. Liu Chengfeng went to the lobby to sit in the lobby. There was obviously nothing strange about this body. It must have been the pirates who killed him and threw him into the ocean. Fortunately,
I was found by passing ships and brought back, otherwise I would have to be a fish feeder.
Wen Zheng had already ordered someone to notify his family, and the matter of comforting was left to the clerk.
Wen Zheng smiled bitterly at Liu Chengfeng and said, "Prince, last night, the official found out something, and the young master's case seemed a bit concise."
Liu Chengfeng looked as usual, and took a sip of tea with a smile, saying, "What I fear most when I investigate a case is that I have no clue. It is better to have eyebrows and eyes. What kind of eyes and eyes are there? Let's talk about it."
Wen Zheng said: "It's true that the owner of Shengchang Business is indeed a unclean person. This person is doing business on the surface, but he has taken over many bandits under his own disciples. In his business, there is a named Zheng.
Xiaoqi's man. This man used to be a gangster. It is said that he killed people without blinking. He committed many major cases. It is said that this man is quite skilled in martial arts. He can rob and kill people and steal chickens and dogs. These news are provided by Jinyiwei.
But when the Fifth Army Barracks wanted to verify, they found that Zheng Xiaoqi had left without saying goodbye. Since he got off work the night before, no one had seen him again. No one has found his whereabouts so far.
”
Wen Zheng got off work the afternoon before yesterday and never showed up again. Wen Zheng understood very well that this person might be the murderer who killed the young boss Zhao Qing. At least in terms of time, Zheng Xiaoqi accepted someone's entrustment and immediately went to work.
After that, he kept secretly following Zhao Qing, perhaps because he couldn't find an opportunity to start midway. Seeing that the matter could not be successful, he saw that the young boss Zhao Qing returned to the workshop. So he took the risk and touched it in. He was very skilled in martial arts and was good at stealing, although
The prevention and control here is strict, but no one expected that there would be assassins in such a place, and probably some carelessness. Zheng Xiaoqi immediately climbed into the window, stabbed Zhao Qing to death, and then ran away from the window.
.In order to prevent the government from noticed, the person in charge of the matter gave him a sum of money and allowed him to fly away.
This speculation is very likely, at least the identity of this person, his usual deeds and time are very consistent. Liu Chengfeng said: "If it is really the case committed by this person, then who will be the master?"
Wen Zheng said: "Who took him in, who was the commander, this person was Zhao Qiu from Shengchang Business. Zhao Qiu knew that the government must interrogate him about his feud with Wynn Business Business, so he had already made a plan before that.
The lord lied, but Zhao Qing was the one who knew the truth. In order to destroy the witness, he ordered Zhao Qing to kill someone to silence him. Your Highness, if there were no accidents, it would be like this."
Liu Chengfeng sighed, sat lazily on the chair, and said, "That's the case, but there is still no real evidence, but... Zhao Qiu has a lot of ties to this point. At this point, let's torture him severely.
,”
The word "tough" is really simple for Wen Zheng. As the helmsman of the former Nanzhen Prefecture Department, Wen Zheng is definitely a master in the torture world. He smiled on his lips and did not show any signs.
The cruelty of the cruel official, instead, with a bit of caution and graceful demeanor, nodded at Liu Chengfeng and said, "This matter will be left to the officials."
Generally speaking, Liu Chengfeng is unwilling to participate in the torture. He may be confident every time he calls to torture, but Liu Chengfeng is unwilling to touch many methods of treating people as animals.
However, Liu Chengfeng did not rush to leave, but slowly drank a sip of tea and sat here.
Anyway, when I go back now, I have nothing to do. Most of the princesses are now thinking about that little guy. When they get on, they always feel disappointed. It is better to be here. Sometimes, they come out to breathe, which is also a way to adjust their mood.
means.
After a moment, a clerk came in and reported, "Your Highness, the family of the deceased Jiang Qiang has arrived."
Liu Chengfeng was drinking tea, but did not look up at him, and asked in a plain tone: "Have people comforted? People cannot be resurrected, let them mourn."
The clerk looked at Liu Chengfeng in awe and said, "There has been a message of death before, so the family members should cry. Although they have the pain of bereavement, they are still calm now. But this Jiang is not the only one who should cry.
Qiang’s wife said a few things, which is quite interesting. Please ask Your Highness to take a clear look.”
"Huh? Is that right?" Liu Chengfeng then looked up at the clerk, and said with a heavy expression: "Don't go around the corner, just say it to me."
The clerk nodded and said, "Jiang Qiang's wife said that when Jiang Qiang went out to sea this time, he repeatedly told him that he was going to do a big thing. If the matter was done, there would be a big reward, but if it was a matter,
If not, I'm afraid my life is at stake. I said that when Jiang Qiang was about to leave, he always sighed. But when his wife persuaded him not to go, he said, "What do women know?"
Things must be done, and I can’t help myself, so he won’t go if he says he won’t go.”
A hint of suspicion suddenly flashed through Liu Chengfeng's eyes. This sentence is too strange. If you say that at the beginning, you will have a reward for going to sea, it would be understandable. After all, this time, the goods from Wynn Commercial Bank were given to you.
Luzon's rebels in the party are very likely to make mistakes, and there are still some dangers, so it is not surprising that there is a generous reward of silver.
But as a sailor, wandering overseas, there are certain dangers. It can be said that any sailor who goes out to sea will lift his head on his belt. Once a person leaves the land, there are stormy waves in front of him, which are inexplicable diseases and
In a storm, people can eat with their own food. Which one is not a bad day?
But he suddenly said that there was a huge danger, which means that before leaving, Jiang Qiang had already had a premonition that he was very likely to die.
Then, things became even more strange. Since it was a life-threatening death, I was frowning all day long and sighed. My wife advised him not to go. If he didn't go, the sailor business was originally very mobile, and because of the high salary, many families were poor.
People join in enthusiastically, but once they make a fortune, most people will choose to leave whenever they have the opportunity to change their careers, but why did Jiang Qiang refuse?
It would be fine if you simply refuse, but it would be even more strange if you can't help but say that you can't help it.
Liu Chengfeng couldn't help but say, "Is there anything strange?"
The clerk said: "His wife also said that Jiang Qiang did not wear any accessories when he went there, but there was a jade pendant hanging on his body, which he had never seen before."
"Can this be the wrong person? This person is not Jiang Qiang at all?" Liu Chengfeng couldn't help but say.
The clerk shook his head and said, "Originally, the villain also had this question, but his wife repeatedly identified it and confirmed that it was Jiang Qiang, so she felt that this matter was very strange."
Liu Chengfeng couldn't help but feel a little weird. A sailor did not wear any ornaments before going to sea, but why did this thing appear on his body? You should know that it is impossible for people to give you a chance to shop if you get on the boat.
It's okay to say that this is a return ship. When Jiang Qiang was in Luzon, he thought it was unique. He wanted to buy it and give it to his wife, but the ship had not reached its destination yet, and Luzon was not counted.
If you are far away, you don’t have to stop to replenish supplies in the middle. How could a jade pendant appear out of thin air?
Could it be... it was stolen by Jiang Qiang?
If it is stolen, the stolen must be the one on the same boat. But the problem is, if it is really stolen, how can it be hanging on your neck openly? It must be noted that being a thief is guilty and it is too late to hide it and cover it.
Things became more and more strange. Liu Chengfeng couldn't help but say, "Go, bring the jade pendant, uh..." After a moment of silence, Liu Chengfeng added another order and said, "Also, remember to clean the jade pendant."
There are some taboos when wearing the deceased. If it were not forbidden to do so, Liu Chengfeng would not be willing to touch it.
In fact, he didn't have to give instructions, and the clerk definitely did not dare to submit it directly. It seemed that after saying this, Liu Chengfeng felt more at ease.
The clerk hurriedly went there, and after a while he came back, he put it on with a jade pendant. The water traces on the jade pendant were not dry, and there was a faint fragrance. I guess it was because I had washed it with soap beans and soaked in perfume.
Only then did I dare to send it.
Liu Chengfeng carefully pinched it, and he really couldn't see anything unusual about this jade pendant. The jade pendant was carved with an elephant head, but the workmanship was not very good. It should be a specialty from Nanyang, and the jade material used was also extremely
Ordinary, it must be something valuable. Liu Chengfeng couldn't help but say, "How did it carve an elephant head? What is this allusion?"
The clerk couldn't help but interrupt and said, "Your Highness, Lianzhou is familiar with the customs of various countries in Southeast Asia. I heard that the Chameng people like the most is the elephant. Chameng people always think that the elephant is more loyal to their spouses, so
When getting married, the woman often gives gifts such as elephant sculptures, so the ornaments with elephant heads on the market are mostly from Chameng.”
These strings of nouns seem to have nothing to do with Jiang Qiang. A sailor wandered in the sea and never climbed onto the land at all. How could there be such a decoration that symbolizes love?
Liu Chengfeng was confused, but couldn't help but smile and said, "Is that so? The customs of Chameng people are very strange."
He thought about it, but he couldn't figure it out for a moment. He always felt that Jiang Qiang's body seemed to have brought him many unknown things, but it was difficult for Liu Chengfeng to use a rope because it was related to the current case.
When he was linked up, he couldn't help but smile bitterly: "It's better to be a capital. If there is a major case in the capital, it will at least not be so complicated."
Liu Chengfeng waved his hand and said, "I know this, you go down."
The Five Military Camp and the Royal Palace were disturbed by a case, but the news did not spread too much. Most people only thought that it was just a matter of pirates being plundered, and that was all.
What is more interesting is the examination of recruiting officials that has begun. The official who is responsible for recruiting officials has now received more than 40,000 applications for examinations. Such a huge number is really unexpected. If it were in other places,
Perhaps many people will sneer at it, but this is Lianzhou. Lianzhou people are synonymous with philosophies in the eyes of others. But don’t forget that philosophies are often realistic. The salary of officials is here, but if you have read some books,
Yes, I want to give it a try more or less.
This time, there are more than 7,000 positions in each yamen, with a huge number of people, but it will definitely decrease in the future. After all, there are too many places short of people now, and all yamen urgently need staff, and the exams are held in various schools.
Not only were officials from various schools also selected doctoral students to invigilate the exam, but the examination papers were also considered. Half a month after the plan was formulated, everyone entered the examination room according to the rules.
The matter is indeed a bit hasty, but after all, it was a major matter assigned by Your Highness. Almost all the yamen participated, and Li Dongdong was in the middle and coordinated, so there was no major chaos. This first exam was related to the national policy of Chu State to acquire officials in the future.
So Li Dongdong was particularly careful. He didn't sleep all night these days. Sometimes when he woke up in the middle of the night, he suddenly thought of a loophole, so he quickly pulled his shoes to repair it. The next day he would leave it to the government for discussion. On the day of the exam, Liu Cheng,
Feng had to put down his case and began patrolling various examination halls. The new official took office as a three-point fire. Naturally, he was a vassal king, and this was the first major event he had seized in Chu after he was crowned king.
Afraid of making any mistakes, having to patrol around yourself can at least make the officials below work harder.
