Jinyi Night Walk

The group went down the mountain and entered Dayun Temple. It was lunch time at this time. It seems that this benefactor had donated a lot of sesame oil money in addition to his high status. Otherwise, Dayun Temple would not send eminent monks to receive them and accompany them on tour. Playing in the mountains and rivers, we also arrange vegetarian hospitality.

Feng Jianxiao had no time to pay attention to the identity of that person, he immediately rushed back to the government office to see the official Zhao Tui after he got off the mountain, he found a reason, and told him that Xia Xun, who "just discovered" was running business for the King of Qi Zhao Tuiguan said with all his heart, "My lord, if there is something wrong with Yang Wenxuan, not to mention that the Qingzhou gentry will clamor for it, the prince of Qi will be even more dissatisfied. At that time, even if the Qingzhou gentry's dissatisfaction can be resisted Lord Qi only needs to say one word, my Qingzhou Mansion is weak in governance, but the crime of rampant banditry will definitely be suppressed, by then I am afraid that the magistrate will lose his black hat, my lord... how will you be dealt with?"

Tuiguan is equivalent to the head of the Public Security Bureau. If there is a major criminal case in the government, causing public grievances, and there is pressure from a big man like King Qi, the result is of course conceivable. : "Then Yang Wenxuan is actually King Qi's man? What can we do? The murderer is bold and surreptitious. We have no clue so far. I'm afraid we won't be able to catch him for a while. What if he attacks Yang Wenxuan again... , No, I have to report this matter to the magistrate and the state judge immediately."

"Sir, wait a minute!"

Feng Jianxiao hurriedly stopped him and said: "My lord, you should report this matter to the lord of the government and the judge of the state, but you are the supervisor of the criminal name. Once the two lords learn about Yang Wenxuan's identity, In order to shirk responsibility, I will definitely push all this matter on you, and maybe I have to write a formal document, in black and white, and leave a proof. How to ensure his safety, it will finally fall on you, my lord? At that time, my lord And what should I say to the Fu Zun and the State Judge? Are the Fu Zun and the State Judge willing to share the morals with the Lord?"

Officer Zhao Tui gritted his teeth and said: "It's no wonder that the pair of old foxes are willing to accept the move. Once they learn about this, they will only push the matter to the official, and they will definitely issue a clear text to make the scene watertight. If Yang Wenxuan comes out It's over, hey! They just shoved clean."

Speaking of this, Zhao Tuiguan seemed to have seen a black lacquered iron pot approaching him as a hood, and he couldn't help but pessimistically said: "Yang Wenxuan is a gentleman with fame and status, and he has his own legitimate livelihood. He hides in the mansion all day long and cannot come out? But even though he has fame, he is still just a commoner, and the official can't deploy sharp-edged police officers to protect him personally. Not to mention the violation of the legal system, spread the word and spread it to others. Ask me what kind of benefits I have received from the Yang family, and make me feel bad for no reason, this... what should I do?"

Feng Jianxiao said: "Inspectors and arresters are quick to enforce the law for the country. Of course, they cannot be controlled by private individuals. However, we can't come forward, so we can ask someone to help."

Zhao Tuiguan's face moved, he grabbed him and said: "Old Feng, maybe you have a good idea, if you have an idea, come up quickly, don't play charades anymore, I'm sweating in a hurry."

Feng Jianxiao smiled, and whispered something to him, Zhao Tuiguan's eyes lit up when he heard it, he slapped his thigh, and shouted: "Wow, why didn't I think of it, if you talk about good news, There are so many minions, my Qingzhou government can’t compare to their family, yes! Forcing them to help, as long as they help, not only can protect Yang Wenxuan’s safety, but also force them to fully assist the officer in arresting the murderer.

Zhao Tuiguan pinched his chin and pondered for a moment, then patted the table and said: "Go, immediately call ten arresters and ten quick hands, and follow me."

Feng Xihui was taken aback and said, "With so many people, isn't there too much noise?"

The majestic Tuiguan of Qingzhou Prefecture led people to handle the case, and only brought twenty people. How much is it really?That's not the case, the problem is that Zhao Tuiguan actually brought not 200 people, but nearly [-] people.

There are only 200 arresters and [-] fast hands in Qingzhou Prefecture. Of course, this refers to the "management system" of the official staff, and when a regular officer goes out on business, he needs to bring two deputy officers, and each deputy officer must Bring his "assistants" and "buddies" with him. In this way, one policeman is on a business trip, but there are actually nearly ten people who go out.Therefore, Zhao Tuiguan transferred [-] people, actually [-] people. Such a huge team swaggered through the market, which was indeed rare in the Taiping era.

Zhao Tui gave him a look and didn't speak, Feng Xihui suddenly understood, and thought: "Damn, these officials have more sloppy intestines than I, Jin Yiwei." Then he slapped his forehead and went to transfer someone.

This is exactly what Zhao Tuiguan wanted. He no longer intends to tell the Futai and the judge that Yang Wenxuan is a subordinate of King Qi, and he has to pretend to be ignorant, otherwise However, once Yang Wenxuan was assassinated, the two adults above his head would share the blame, and he would be even more passive.And he swaggered through the market today, trying to make the noise as big as possible. If something happened to Yang Wenxuan in the future, he could at least bring up today's incident and say that he had done his best to ensure Yang Wenxuan's safety within his ability. You can see Mr. Zhou What did you do with the Judge?

This thought, Feng Xihui took a glance at him, and he understood it.

Of the [-] arresters and [-] fast hands in Qingzhou Mansion, only one-third of them are usually on standby in the government office. Zhao Tuiguan dispatched half of them as soon as he gave an order. Although these people are fast, they must be gathered together Their assistants, assistants, and buddies really took a lot of effort. After half an hour, all the troops arrived. Zhao Tuiguan, dressed in official robes, stepped out of the Yamen on his horse, and led two hundred men in a majestic manner. go……

Xia Xun heard Guanshi Xiao report to him the people who visited or inquired about him these days, and kept it in his heart. Afterwards, he asked Guanshi Xiao to go to Peng's martial arts gym, and he took the stack of greeting cards and invitations, and read them one by one. filter.

Most of these were people with close contacts. Some Zhang Shisan had introduced to him in detail, and some were not familiar with them.Without much questioning skills at all, Xia Xun can get a lot of useful information from her, such as the identity of this person, the distance between him and him, and roughly any relationship or grievances.Of course, Xiaodi's narration also contains a lot of parents' short stories, news about cats and dogs, just filter them automatically.

In the end, Xia Xun picked out the three most suspicious people: Lin Beixia, Geng Xin, and Jiang Zhiqing.

The three suspects selected by Xia Xun all had motives for committing crimes, and the most suspected one was Lin Beixia from the Lin family's pawn shop.

The Lin family's pawnshop has now changed its name to "Lin Yang's Pawnshop", because Yang Wenxuan is also the shopkeeper of this pawnshop now, holding a less than half of the shares.

Yang Wenxuan was able to become a shareholder of the Lin family's pawn shop because of a fire in the Lin family's pawnshop the year before last. That fire destroyed a pawn warehouse of the Lin family. There were many pawned items in the warehouse, many of which were precious.After the news of the fire spread, the customers who had pawned in Lin's pawnshop all took the pawn tickets to redeem the original items, even those who had no money to redeem the pawns borrowed money and were determined to redeem them.

Because of the rules of the pawn shop, the pawned items are allowed to be redeemed within a certain period of time.Therefore, pawnshops cannot dispose of live pawned items before their expiration date.Now shopkeeper Lin can't afford the original, so he has to pay a high price for compensation. Those who pawn things are also wicked. Even if you only pawned one cotton jacket, you can pay him the price of three cotton jackets now. The padded jacket at home was handed down from his grandfather's grandfather. Keeping it is a memory. In the words of later generations, it is called commemorative meaning.

These pawnbrokers ran shopkeeper Lin so that there was no way to go to the sky, no way to go to the earth, and he felt like hanging himself. At this time, Yang Wenxuan visited. With personal connections, he can help shopkeeper Lin solve this problem, on the condition that he be allowed to become a shareholder of Lin's pawnshop.

In this way, "Lin's pawnshop" became "Lin Yang's pawnshop".

Now that Yang Wenxuan's wealth is getting bigger and bigger, and after gaining fame, he has gained a certain status in the scholarly circle and official circles, and gradually formed a trend of relying on customers to overwhelm the master. If this continues, "Lin Yang's Pawnshop" will become "Yang Lin's Pawnshop", Finally, it became "Yang's pawn shop".

Only Yang Wenxuan is left in the Qingzhou branch of Yingtian's Yang family. If he is killed, when the Yang family comes from Yingtian to take over all the properties of this house, they must sell all kinds of real estate. In that case However, the pawnshop passed down by Lin Jiazu can still be controlled by Lin Beixia.People who have lost their ancestral property are prodigal sons, and they don't have the face to go to their ancestral graves when they die. For Lin Beixia, this risk is undoubtedly worth taking.

Geng Xin, the big shopkeeper of "Shengchuntang Pharmacy". "Shengchuntang Pharmacy" is a big medicine merchant in Qingzhou. It has branch offices in Yidu, Linqu, and Linzi. Crowned with a grandson, called Sun Gengxin.

Lao Geng and Yang Wenxuan were just casual acquaintances. The reason why they became friends actually has a story.The main reason is that at the beginning of last year, Sun's business bought a batch of fake medicines, and the patients died after taking the fake medicines. Xun borrowed a large sum of money.

Of course, whether it is the Lin Family Pawnshop or the Shengchuntang Drugstore, these two incidents that happened successively were caused by Feng Jianxiao and the others secretly, and Yang Wenxuan became the "timely rain" of the Lin Family's Pawnshop and Shengchuntang Pharmacy.Imagine that Feng Zongqi and the others are just a group of people who are good at destroying but don't know how to build. How can you expect them to have a good way to support Yang Wenxuan?

Xia Xun has heard from Zhang Shisan about these internal reasons. The reason why Xia Xun listed Geng Wai as a suspect was because Yang Wenxuan had no good intentions for the Shengchuntang drug store. The purpose of lending money was to annex the drug store. Now that the loan repayment deadline has long passed, Yang Wenxuan has urged the repayment many times. Xia Xun suspects that Yang Wenxuan may have revealed to Geng that he plans to buy shares if he fails to repay the loan. In this case, there is a reason for Geng to take risks.

Although killing the creditor is not enough, but there is only one person who is in charge of the Yang family in Qingzhou. If he dies, the Yang family will send someone to deal with it after getting the news. In a year and a half, maybe the financial crisis of Shengchuntang Pharmacy will be resolved.But there is a glimmer of hope, it may not be impossible for a dog to jump over the wall in a hurry, and buy a murderer to kill someone.

As for Jiang Zhiqing, he is the shopkeeper of a silk and satin shop. Xia Xun once helped Yuanwai An to compete with him for business. In addition, when Miss Yiyi of the "Xiaoxiang Pavilion" was listed for combing, the two even fought to win Miss Yiyi's first prize. Spending money and fighting for wealth, Yang Wenxuan won in the end, so the two had a lot of grudges.It's just that compared to the above two people, the possibility of this person paying for murder is much smaller.

After sorting out these three people, Xia Xun secretly decided, first, to investigate Lin Beixia first. Based on his knowledge of criminal investigation and his ability to observe words and expressions, if this person is the real murderer behind the scenes, he will definitely be able to find out some clues.

While Xia Xun was screening the suspects, Officer Zhao Tui and Procurator Feng led nearly [-] patrolling Kuaishou people across the city and headed straight for the West City.Along the way, many people chased them curiously, until they left the west city, and only those who watched the excitement returned disappointed.

Ten miles to the west of Qingzhou, there is a Zhuangzi. The owner's surname is Peng. The Peng family runs a car dealership, a boat dealership, and a mule and horse dealership. The Peng family is leading the way, and it can be said that they are wealthy and powerful.However, in running these businesses, the Peng family involved both black and white. Although they were rich and powerful, they could only be classified as tyrants, not in the same breath as noble gentry like Yang Wenxuan.

As soon as the large group of people went to Peng's house, they immediately attracted the attention of interested people. People in many places had close ties with Peng's family, such as people who were driving, farming, and fishing with nets in Hepaozi. He was dressed in official uniform, riding a horse with his crotch on his back, followed by nearly two hundred government servants armed with knives and sticks.

Peng Wanli, the second master of the Peng family, was taken aback when he heard about it, and immediately flew straight to the back house to meet his grandfather Peng Taigong.Old Mrs. Peng is already a hundred years old. Although he is old, he is full of energy and vigor. Although his back is slightly bent, he still looks tall. He has a burly figure and looks very healthy.

The old man was wearing a double-breasted sweat jacket, a pair of black kung fu pants, a pair of black cloth shoes under his feet, and a pair of shiny iron gallbladders in his hands. He was fishing in front of the stream passing through the backyard, leaning against a weeping willow, Leisurely.

Peng Wanli rushed over, waved away the servants who were waiting, and said a few words to Mr. Peng, Peng Taigong's face changed slightly, and the iron gall that was turning in his hand froze immediately: "How many officers and soldiers are here? How many people are there?"

Peng Wanli said: "Grandpa, there are about two hundred arresters, led by Officer Zhao Tui."

"Bang bang bang..."

The iron gallbladder in Peng Taigong's hand turned quickly again: "Only arresters..., no guards?"

"No."

"There is only fast arrest all the way, and there is no encirclement?"

"No."

The iron gall in Peng Taigong's hand became brisk, and the two iron galls spun quickly in the palm of his hand, but there was no collision between them, silently.He smiled lightly, and said calmly: "I see, you go to Qianzhuang to receive him, and see if the Tuiguan lord is going out in person, what kind of trouble is he looking for?"

Peng Wanli said anxiously: "Old ancestor, if you want me to say, you should make some preparations first, be prepared, in case they really come after us..."

"impossible!"

Mr. Peng smiled proudly, and said: "A few cats and dogs, come to catch me, Monk Peng? If they really knew the details of our family, the officers and soldiers of Qingzhou Guard would have already mobilized. Even King Qi would have to take him with him." The three guards came here in person, and the old man’s house is surrounded like an iron barrel, so you can rest assured! If you go to work, there will be no thousands of troops, and the old man will be a Diaoyutai!"
