Chapter 93 The Dream of Salted Fish

Coming out of Guangji Hall, Xia Chu looked back at the plaque on the door, called Xu Lu over, and asked him, "You went to Baicao Village with Tang Kui just now, did you know anything about it?"

"I asked Tang Kui something on the way." Xu Lu paused, organized his words, and continued: "Tang Kui said that the business of Baicaozhuang and Guangjitang is now managed by Yu Shiji and Yu Wenping together. The two-year outing to buy medicines has already been transferred to Yu Shiji, but because of Mrs. Yu Shiji's delivery, it was Yu Wenping who went this time."

"Well, you go on."

"In the past few days when Yu Wenping went to buy medicines, Guangjitang just opened the door for business step by step, and there was no bulk goods, so it didn't use the warehouse. Tang Kui swore that he never opened the back door, let alone entered Yu Wenping. room." Xu Lu smiled wryly, "That Tang Kui was so frightened, three out of the five sentences were to defend himself."

"Do you think Tang Kui is suspicious?"

"I don't think so. Although the three people who stay in Guangji Hall every day have the best time and conditions to commit the crime, if they really did it, they won't let the corpse rot and stink, and they can deal with it early."

"That makes sense." Xia Chu nodded and said, "But from this point of view, it can be pushed back. The perpetrator may have no chance to dispose of the corpse, or he may not have thought of disposing of the corpse a second time. After all, move it again The dead body is also risky, if we don't find the dead body, we don't know how many days it will take until Yu Wenping returns. The longer the time, the better for the murderer."

Jiang Xiyuan turned around and asked Xu Ludao: "When Yu Shiji heard that someone died in Guangji Hall, what was his reaction?"

"The first thing I saw was Steward Wang of Baicaozhuang. He went to invite Yu Shiji, so when I saw Yu Shiji, he already knew about it. I couldn't see his first reaction. When I saw him , His expression is quite dignified, a bit at a loss."

"Did you say anything?"

"No, I was either in a daze or sighing along the way, or closed my eyes. The eye circles were red, and I looked very sad. I don't know if there are any new clues here, so I didn't dare to ask him. I'm afraid What's leaking."

Jiang Xiyuan smiled and nodded, "You are quite meticulous now."

"People have to make progress." Xu Lu smiled modestly, "The boss said, you have to have a dream."

"What is your dream?"

"Being a headhunter," Xu Lu said.

Jiang Xiyuan turned to look at Xia Chu, "Aren't you in danger?"

Xia Chu smiled triumphantly, "What's the matter, if you don't want to be a head catcher, you're not a good catcher."

"Then what dream do you have? Isn't it to be Jing Zhaoyin?"

Xia Chu said: "Is the Ministry of Punishment in charge of the review of homicide cases across the country? If that's the case, I really want to go to the Ministry of Punishment. Minister of the Ministry of Punishment? Minister of the Ministry of Punishment? Anything is fine."

"It's still 'all right'?! Your dream is quite big!"

"Of course, dreams. As the saying goes: People don't have dreams, so what's the difference with salted fish?"

Jiang Xiyuan laughed: "Where does this common saying come from? Xia Chu, you are not called a dream, but a delusion. Ministers and ministers are all officials who have to pass the examination for merit. With your two bad characters, you can pass the provincial examination." make life difficult for."

At the beginning of Xia, the words hit the nail on the head, and he curled his lips embarrassingly, "Then my dream is to be a head catcher, and now my dream has come true, how great it is!"

Both Jiang Xiyuan and Xu Lu laughed, and Jiang Xiyuan gave her a thumbs up: "I've seen optimistic people in my life, and you are the first."

"I'll just take it as a good word. That's enough, let's get far." Xia Chu cleared his throat, brought the topic back to the case, and asked Jiang Xiyuan: "Your Excellency seems to be very suspicious of Yu Shiji, why?"

"Since it is analyzed that an acquaintance may have committed the crime, the Yu family members are very suspicious. Besides, I just think that person..." Jiang Xiyuan tapped his chin, unable to think of a word to describe how Yu Shiji made him feel.

Xia Chu recalled the brief conversation with Yu Shiji, then pointed to his eyes and said, "Eyes?"

"Look." Jiang Xiyuan nodded, and shrugged his shoulders like Xia Chu did, "I don't like him. Well, are you going to say that solving a case requires evidence and a complete reasoning without loopholes?"

"Yeah!" Xia Chu couldn't help laughing, "However, I don't like him too much."

Xia Chu arranged for Xu Lu and Zheng Lian to investigate the Yu family's family relationship, especially those related to Cao Xuelian, who have conflicts and involvements, so pay special attention.

The two took the task and left. Jiang Xiyuan tugged at Xia Chu, frowned and said, "Can we leave here first?"

"Ah?" Xia Chu froze for a moment, "Your Excellency, are you hungry? Just right, don't you want to eat Xijing Eight Bowls? It's at the door, let me treat you to eat."

Jiang Xiyuan looked at her as if he was insane, "Don't you think it stinks!"

"I'm getting used to it..."

Jiang Xiyuan dragged her away without saying a word, her stride was so big that she was about to fly, and Xia Chu trotted along, struggling to say: "My lord! My lord! Don't go too far, I still want to check the houses of nearby merchants , see if there are any clues."

"It doesn't matter, I won't come anyway! If you want to check, you can check it yourself!"

"It's not good, my lord! Why are you so picky about work? As Jing Zhaoyin, you can't be so squeamish."

Jiang Xiyuan turned to stare at her, "Oh? You also know that I am Jing Zhaoyin. Jing Zhaoyin is not only in charge of investigating cases, but you think I am a judicial counselor?"

"Judicial senator?" Xia Chu blinked, "What is judicial senator?"

"Fortunately, you are still a government official's head catcher! Si Lu, Si Hu, Judiciary, Si Bing, Sicang, and Si Shi are all subordinates of Jing Zhaoyin, and they are all in the scope of my duties. You think I only want to settle cases? ? Do I usually take care of you too much?"

"I've seen all the others. I didn't know there was a judicial counselor!" Xia Chu opened his eyes wide and looked at him with an expression of ignorance. "So, the Judicial Counselor should be my boss? Then why are you always following me in handling cases, my lord?"

Jiang Xiyuan was annoyed by her, "Is it my fault for the fit?"

"No, no, that's not what I mean." Xia Chu hurriedly explained, "I just want to ask, who is the judicial counselor? I have been in office for more than two months, and I have never even met the real boss. Isn't it funny?!"

Jiang Xiyuan turned his head and continued walking, Xia Chu followed him relentlessly, "My lord, you should tell me."

"Who is your boss, find out for yourself."

Xia Chu bared his teeth at Jiang Xiyuan's back, and then silently thought about his new boss' problems.

Jiang Xiyuan, the boss, may be naive sometimes, but I have to say that he is very smart, and he is also quite talented in reasoning cases, and can often point out her blind spots in thinking.Over the past two months, their cooperation has been very tacit.

Also very pleasant.

If it's a different person, it's okay if she is good at solving and investigating cases, but if she finds someone who intends to gain profits, it may be more troublesome for her to work in the future.

However, Xia Chu thought again, who is this judicial counselor?It's fine if she doesn't know the existence of the Judicial Counselor, but the Judicial Counselor shouldn't be ignorant of the existence of the head arrester!Even if he doesn't care about himself, it is still necessary to say hello on the visible side.Judicial counselors are not eminent monks and hermits, so they shouldn't be so ignorant.

Since the investigation of the case is within the scope of the Judicial Counselor's duties, isn't it dereliction of duty for him to ignore it like this?Jiang Xiyuan often investigates cases with him, how could he not know that the Judicial Counselor has neglected his duty?

Although Jiang Xiyuan can't be said to be very dedicated to his work, it's not like him to be so tolerant.

Xia Chu pondered for a while, then caught up with Jiang Xiyuan and walked beside Jiang Xiyuan, he laughed a few times, "My lord, is it possible that you are concurrently serving as the Judicial Counselor?"

Jiang Xiyuan glanced at her quickly, then turned to look elsewhere.

Xia Chu walked in front of him, turned to face him, and walked back, laughing as he walked: "You guessed it right? My lord, it's meaningless if you don't admit it."

"I don't deny it." Jiang Xiyuan snorted softly.

Xia Chu laughed more and more happily, "My lord, what are you trying to sell, it makes me worry."

"What are you afraid of?"

"I'm worried that the job won't be so smooth if I change my boss. I'm happier working with you, my lord."

Jiang Xiyuan became happy in an instant, and he didn't even feel the bad smell anymore.He wanted to hold back his smile and put on a show of majesty, but in the end he couldn't hold back, the corners of his lips raised higher and higher.

Jiang Xiyuan wanted to say that he had a great time working with Xia Chu, but he was afraid that she would be too complacent.He also wanted to say that he had worked very hard, but he was also afraid that he would not want to bother him after Chu Xia, and would never call him again for investigation.

At the beginning, several officials under Feng Buyun were demoted or simply dismissed because of the involvement of the case, such as Si Bing and Si Shi, and of course, the judicial officer.This is also Su Zhen's meaning, he wants to pull out the key forces belonging to Wu Zonghuai and his group of veterans from the old dynasty.

After Jiang Xiyuan took over as Jing Zhaoyin, the Ministry of Officials helped him fill in officials one after another, but the judicial counselor couldn't find a suitable person.He originally intended to transfer people from the Ministry of Punishment, but Qian Mingchang used the compensation for the unjust case and a series of legal reforms to complain about the lack of manpower, so the matter was delayed.

After this delay, Jiang Xiyuan didn't ask the official department to urge this matter. After handling Fang Ruolan's case with Xia Chu, he simply assumed the position concurrently.

"It's good that you know." Jiang Xiyuan finally said something ambiguous.

"Understood, understood." Xia Chu smiled so that his eyes were crooked, and he turned around lightly.A wheelbarrow full of sacks was approaching, and it was about to hit Xia Chu.

Jiang Xiyuan quickly grabbed her hand and pulled it aside, the sack of the wheelbarrow almost brushed the tip of Xia Chu's nose, dangerously.

"It makes it difficult for you to walk well." Jiang Xiyuan said.He turned his head to look at Xia Chu's situation, but saw that her brows were furrowed, her lips trembled slightly, and her face was very ugly.With her hand still in his own, Jiang Xiyuan felt that the strength in Xia Chu's hand was getting tighter and tighter, so he hurriedly asked, "Are you scared? You can't do it?"

"My... my lord." Xia Chu said with tears in his voice, "That car ran over my foot... It hurts, it hurts!"
