I served as an admonisher in the Song Dynasty

Chapter 378 The case is like a fog! Little Su Shi and little Su Che signed for the learning gift package
April 25th, afternoon.

Meizhou Prefectural Office, where Censor Taigen Surveyor was located, was established.

The guards at the Meizhou Yamen Gate and inside were all replaced by guards brought by Su Liang.

Also.

All relevant cases were also transferred to the Yushi Taigen Investigation Office.

After those six scholars submitted testimonies proving that Cao Changyun, the magistrate of Meishan County, was in Sun's library at 3:30 pm on March 26th.

Su Liang did not remove Lu Qing, the magistrate of Meizhou, from custody, but chose to release Cao Changyun, the magistrate of Meizhou.

At the moment, both of them are suspected.

Meizhou Tong judge Lu Qing was suspected of framing Cao Changyun, the magistrate of Meishan County, but Cao Changyun still could not rule out the suspicion of murdering Zu Liang.

The reason why Su Liang let them go.

It turned Meizhou into the book market or library of the entire Song Dynasty.

That night.

His goal——

Both Zu Liang and Lu Qing hoped that Meizhou would respond to the court's policy of reform and develop trade.

……

But after all, Cao Changyun was a junior official, and his suggestions were not accepted at all.

This contradiction has always existed.

The reason why Zuliang, the magistrate of Meizhou, had a violent quarrel with Cao Changyun, the magistrate of Meishan, the day before he was killed.

on the other hand.

For example: setting up a book market, preparing to build a bookstore, researching paper types, engraving and printing technology, movable type technology, etc.

It was Cao Changyun who submitted a plan for reform in Meizhou.

Su Liang went through the case again. After reading it, he felt that the case was even more clueless.

There are many daily chores to deal with in Meizhou. If these two people are removed from their posts and taken into custody, Meizhou will be prone to civil strife.

Cao Changyun had a motive for killing, but the motive was a bit far-fetched.

This also resulted in Cao Changyun's relationship with the magistrate and Tongpan being very ordinary, but his reputation was very good among the scholars in Meizhou.

If these two people are really involved in Hong Zhong's murder case, they may take some remedial measures and maybe find some new clues.

on the one hand.

This policy was not accepted by Zhizhou Zuliang.

Named: Meizhou Wenxing Caoce.

But Cao Changyun hopes more for Wenxing.

First of all.

……

Second.

It was the incident where Lu Qing, the general judge of Meizhou, said that he saw Cao Changyun appearing in the prefectural government office less than 300 meters away from the crime scene at three o'clock in the morning.

Su Liang felt that the words of the six scholars were true, but he did not think that Lu Qing was lying.

Because if Lu Qing really wanted to murder Cao Changyun, he could have asked the state government officials to identify Cao Changyun. He had been in Meizhou for more than two years.

Moreover, he was still the only one who saw Cao Changyun.

This seems a bit deliberate.

But there is nothing wrong with Lu Qing's explanation.

Lu Qing likes to be quiet and has the habit of dealing with political affairs at night. Many people in the state government know this.

One of Lu Qing and the six scholars must have lied, but there is currently no way to detect which one is true.

……

The next day, it was nearly noon.

Hong Zhong came to Su Liang.

Hong Zhong is basically not suspected. He was in Yizhou when the crime occurred.

But he served as a prisoner official on Yizhou Road.

It is his duty to deal with this matter.

If it weren't for his old age, I'm afraid he would be the one presiding over the case. The court would not review the case until the outcome of his trial was reached.

"Hong Tixing, what do you think of Lu Tongxing's testimony?" Su Liang asked.

At the moment, this is the only breaking point in the case. Is the words of Lu Tongpan true, or the words of the six scholars?

Hong Zhong thought for a while.

"Special Envoy Su, I know Lu Qing very well. This person is timid and afraid of getting into trouble. He became the general judge because he is good at dealing with businessmen and has a good way of handling commercial and agricultural taxes! Based on my many years of experience, I think It’s not like he’s lying. As for others, I can’t tell!”

Su Liang nodded.

……

Lean slightly.

Meizhou general magistrate Lu Qing came to Su Liang's house.

Su Liang has not asked yet.

Lu Qing raised his right hand and said with an aggrieved look: "Special Envoy Su, I can swear to God, I really saw Cao Changyun at 3:30 that night. The watchman outside the wall was telling the time at that time. There was no way I could have listened. Wrong, those scholars must be protecting him! "

Su Liang stretched out his hand and motioned for him to sit down.

"Lu Tongpan, how is your usual relationship with Zu Zhizhou and Cao Zhixian?"

Lu Qing thought for a while and replied seriously: "Zu Zhizhou is a slow-tempered person with a good temper. I get along with him quite smoothly."

"But compared to Cao Zhixian, he can only be regarded as average! This man has great ambitions and little talent, and he thinks all day about revitalizing Meizhou with literature. Although he has a high status in the hearts of Meizhou people and Meizhou scholars, he has not done much The truth is, if I hadn’t brought in many merchants to promote commerce, Meizhou City would probably be left with a lot of unsold books..."

Lu Qing had a very strong opinion of Cao Changyun and felt that Cao Changyun only did honorable work.

……

At last.

Cao Changyun, the magistrate of Meishan County, appeared in front of Su Liang.

Cao Changyun has a handsome face, less than forty years old, and looks like an elegant master.

"Special Envoy Su, I really don't know why Lu Tongxian wrongly accused me. That night, I stayed in Sun's library for the whole time. How could I kill Zu Zhizhou? Besides, I have no motive to kill him at all!"

Cao Changyun claimed that he did not return to Zhou Yamen that night, let alone see Lu Qing.

Su Liangxiao asked: "Meizhou Wenxing Cao Cao, isn't it a motive?"

"If you have different political views, that...that's a common thing. I believe that my ideal will definitely come true!" Cao Changyun said very confidently.

Su Liang didn't see anything strange from the expression on Cao Changyun's face.

At this time.

Cao Changyun asked back: Special Envoy Su, I wonder what you think of my Meizhou Wenxing policy. If this policy is implemented in Meizhou, do you think it will be successful? "

Su Liang hesitated.

"The probability of success is low, but if Meizhou can really become the book market or library of the Song Dynasty, it will definitely be a good thing today and for the future!"

Hearing this, Cao Changyun was very excited.

"Special Envoy Su, I'm going to... work hard, and I will continue to work hard!" Cao Changyun was as happy as if he had found a soulmate.

……

And this moment.

The news that Su Liang came to Meizhou City has spread throughout the streets and alleys.

Even the owner of Sun's library was preparing to write an invitation to invite Su Liang to come to the gathering.

Sun's Library is no ordinary library.

It was built during the Kaiyuan period of Emperor Xuanzong of the Tang Dynasty. It has a large collection of books. Officials from the imperial court once came here to copy books.

The scholars in Meizhou City were also very excited.

They are looking forward to Su Liang coming to guide the Meizhou Wenxing Reform!

……

into the night.

Su Zhai, in the study.

Two bamboo baskets of documents were placed in front of little Su Shi and little Su Che.

Su Xun said with a smile on his face: "I didn't expect that Yushi Su would not forget to bring you gifts when he came to Meizhou to handle the case. Read these documents quickly. After Yushi Su finishes handling the case, he may come for random inspections. I will definitely Can't let him down."

After that, Su Xun left happily.

Little Su Che and little Su Shi curled their lips and looked at the two full baskets of books, and sighed deeply at the same time.

"Brother, I want to sleep." Xiao Su Zhe said.

Little Su Shi looked at the starry sky outside the window and said, "I want to run away from home, see the breeze and the bright moon, and eat delicious food all over the world."

After saying that, the two picked up the documents in the bamboo basket and read them carefully.
