Tiantang Splendid

Chapter 2233 Slightly Same
Huating Town Office.

Pei Xingjian invited Shangguanyi to the duty room, and ordered someone to offer fragrant tea, and then asked: "You Shao is here, but what's the matter?"

"You Shao" is Shangguanyi's character.

Shangguanyi looked up at the still slanting torrential rain outside the window, took a sip of tea, and said, "Mu Inspector asked Xiaguan to give you a message..."

Then he repeated Mu Yuanzuo's words word for word.

Pei Xingjian held the teacup in his hand, and fell silent.

Undoubtedly, Pei Xingjian thinks that he has outstanding talent and talent, but after all, his age is here, and when it comes to the dirty secrets in the officialdom, there is a clear gap compared with an "old oilman" like Mu Yuanzuo.Such a big event today will not only cast a shadow over his own future, but even Fang Jun in Beijing will be implicated.

Or, this is all aimed at Fang Jun...

How could Pei Xingjian, who had always regarded Fang Jun as a "benefactor", not be in a hurry, eager to cut through the mess quickly, and make this matter clear?
But now after listening to Shangguanyi's retelling, Pei Xingjian realized that he was too eager.

Whenever there is a big event, there is calmness, which is the excellent quality that an outstanding person should possess. All negative emotions such as eagerness, anger, fear, etc. will disturb the thinking, and make decisions that are far below one's ability. It seems to be disturbing, but in fact there is a process of origin, development, and end. Settle your mind, think quietly, find the "origin" in the chaotic situation, and follow the vines, and many things will be clearly revealed in sight.

So what is the "origin" of this matter?

It seems to be caused by the explosion of the warehouse where the Zhentianlei was stored and the theft of some Zhentianlei, but it is not, and it needs to be traced back to the motive of the whole incident.

According to the current situation, even the mastermind behind the scenes is not known, and the motive is naturally impossible to know.

But it doesn’t matter, the warehouses that were blown up, the soldiers that were blown up, the thunderbolt that was lost, the corpses of Goguryeo warriors that were salvaged from the river… the “origin” of all these is Wu Laosan, a night watch soldier.It was Wu Laosan who opened the door of the warehouse with the key, which enabled these people to blow up the warehouse and steal Zhentianlei without anyone noticing.

Wu Laosan is just a small soldier, his wife, children and family members are all in Huating Town, how dare he blow up the warehouse?
He also has no incentive to do so.

Then, the person who caused him to owe a large amount of gambling debts is likely to be a node in the whole matter. As long as he is dug out, he may be able to pull out the thread in the turbulent situation and make the situation worse. suddenly see the light……

After calming down in his heart, Pei Xingjian asked: "According to what the navy soldiers said, the person who was arrested was the son of the Wang family in Taiyuan?"

Shangguanyi said: "It's just a remote family, maybe there is a bit of Taiyuan Wang's blood in him, but he has already passed the fifth suit, but this person is quite smart, because Taiyuan Wang and Wuwei Zhang are related by marriage , so he was sent by his family to Suzhou City to set up a gambling house and act as a steward."

After a pause, he added: "The person who received the news and went to stop the navy soldiers, and then tried to rescue Wang Jingxun on the street, is Suzhou Biejia, Zhang Mingpu."

Pei Xingjian frowned and said, "Wuwei Zhang? The son of Duke Zhang, the governor of Muzhou?"

Shangguanyi nodded and said, "Exactly."

Pei Xingjian pondered.

Therefore, Zhang Cong, the governor of Muzhou... that is Changsun Wuji's brother-in-law and the brother-in-law of His Majesty Li Er!

This person made great efforts for His Majesty Li Er back then, but after His Majesty Li Er ascended the throne, he stayed away from the turmoil of the court and went to Muzhou to serve as governor for several times. Walking alone, cherishing feathers, is quite respected by His Majesty.

And Muzhou, which is located near Qiantang, has always been the hub of Jiangnan.

Wu Laosan, Wang Jingxun, Zhang Mingpu, Taiyuan Wang, Wuwei Zhang, the grandson's family...

Pei Xingjian has a headache.

It is very likely that there is the shadow of the eldest grandson's family behind this incident. It can be seen that with only one Wang Jingxun, how can the eldest grandson's family be dragged into the water?

This is impossible.

Even the Wang family of Taiyuan couldn't get involved...

Pei Xingjian thought of Mu Yuanzuo's words again, if the rhythm slowed down, maybe the situation would be completely different...

It was raining heavily outside the window, and Pei Xingjian's thoughts were a little confused.

Inviting Shangguanyi to drink a cup of tea, Pei Xingjian said: "At this moment, Zhang Mingpu is in the living room. He wants to slow down Wang Jingxun. The excuse is that he is afraid that the navy will abuse torture and beat him up. But I haven't seen him yet. Wang Jingxun is just a small person. Even with his confession, there is no real evidence, I am afraid that there is nothing I can do to the Taiyuan Wang family, let alone such a giant as the Changsun family..."

Having said that, he looked at Shangguanyi with burning eyes.

He knew that Fang Jun valued this person very much, and this person was able to be promoted from a small county magistrate to the chief secretary of the Suzhou Governor's Mansion in two years. Of course, there was Fang Jun's driving force behind him, and his own ability should not be underestimated.

So, he asked for Shangguanyi's opinion.

Shangguanyi looked into Pei Xingjian's gaze, was taken aback for a moment, then understood, chuckled, and clapped his hands and said, "This plan is very clever, if there is no evidence, then give him some evidence... as long as you can get the Taiyuan Wang family If you come in, the pool of water will be muddy, and you will be able to deal with it more calmly. Even... there is no need for Pei Changshi to waste any more thoughts, Taiyuan Wang can't sit still."

Pei Xingjian also laughed: "Heroes see the same thing?"

Shangguanyi laughed loudly: "Slightly the same, slightly the same!"

Pei Xingjian then called his clan brother Pei Su in, and ordered: "Go to the navy division to get some thunderbolts, and then send them to Wang Jingxun's residence, and also inform Su Dadu, and he will be required to cooperate later..."

Pei Su was excited when he heard that, and immediately took the order to leave.

Pei Xingjian glanced at Shangguanyi, and the two looked at each other and laughed, sympathetic to each other, and they got along very well.

*****
Pei Xingjian sent Shangguanyi away from the back door, and stood at the door watching the pouring rain wash away the courtyard walls and houses. The rainwater accumulated in the courtyard and flowed freely. After a while, he turned around and Shi Shiran went to the living room.

Zhang Mingpu feels like sitting on pins and needles.

He never expected that the navy could find the clue of Wang Jingxun so quickly, and arrest him so forcefully, he was careless...

Now that Wang Jingxun has been arrested and imprisoned by the town office, it's not that there is no eyeliner in the town office, but this case is too serious, without Pei Xingjian's order, who would dare to let him in to see Wang Jingxun?Zhang Mingpu couldn't even get in the gate, so he had no choice but to come to look for Pei Xingjian.

Seeing Pei Xingjian's figure appearing from the door, Zhang Mingpu resisted the anger in his heart, got up and cupped his hands, and said coldly: "Pei Changshi is really busy with his affairs, I have been waiting here for a long time."

Pei Xingjian was unsmiling, bowed his hands casually as a gift, sat down on the main seat, and said indifferently: "Now the wharf warehouse has been bombed, Zhen Tianlei has lost a lot, and many soldiers have died because of it. They are busy all over the place, but it is a bit neglectful I just don’t know if Zhang Biejia is here this time, what advice do you have?”

Zhang Mingpu held his breath, and said: "I dare not take advice, but the navy soldiers took people in the street, and even used bows and crossbows to shoot and wound civilians. I want to ask, in your eyes, do you still have the king's law?"

"Ha ha."

Pei Xingjian sneered, looked up at the angry Zhang Mingpu, and said slowly, "Isn't it thoughtful of what you said? Then Wang Jingxun has serious suspicions about this case. As a member of Suzhou, you don't want to help the Navy To arrest the suspect, but to blindly protect him, why?"

Without Zhang Mingpu's rebuttal, Pei Xingjian slammed the table and said angrily: "Furthermore, it's the sailor who grabs people, and it's also the sailor who shoots and hurts people. What's the reason for you to go to Wuhuating town to threaten and speak out? !"

Zhang Mingpu held his breath in his chest and almost couldn't catch his breath.

Did you push it clean?
"Since everything is the navy's fault, why is Wang Jingxun in prison in Huating Town?"

"This is a matter between me and the navy, what does it have to do with you?"

"You guys are clearly colluding, despising the king's law, and framing goodness!"

Pei Xingjian looked at Zhang Mingpu coldly, and warned: "You can eat indiscriminately, but you can't talk indiscriminately. If you say that I despise the king's law, I will not refute it. You can report the situation to the governor of Suzhou, or you can go to the capital. The judge submitted the pleadings, and even went to the gate of Taiji Palace to knock on the gate to sue... As for framing Liangshan, that is even more nonsense. If Wang Jingxun was innocent, he would let him go after the fact, but if the evidence is convincing, even if it is Zhao Guogong is here, don't want me to take half a step back!"

Zhang Mingpu was shocked.

It's over, we're in big trouble...
