Chapter 11 Fishing

The Beijing inspection system is based on the Beijing official assessment system, which is conducted every three years, and the "four grids" and "eight methods" are used as the standards for promotion and demotion.

Unqualified officials are demoted or even reduced to civilian positions.

It's about the future, so it's easy to understand. The other party also has a distant relative who is involved in the matter, so he looks back and impeaches him.

There is a backlog of murder cases in Changle County, which can be a reason for criticism by political opponents.

"How did you die?" Xu Qian asked casually.

"I went to the countryside to collect rent, and when I came back in the middle of the night, I happened to meet Mr. Liang Shang in the inner courtyard of his house, and he was slapped." A colleague said with his tongue.

"Is there a witness?" Xu Qian asked.

"My wife heard the noise and went out to check. The man was already dead in the courtyard. However, we found footprints on the outer wall."

"Is it possible that the enemy disguised himself as a thief and committed the murder?" Xu Qian poured himself a cup of tea, took a few candied fruits from his colleagues and threw them into the cup.

His tone was like discussing a murder case with his colleagues at the police station.

"I have asked my wife, children, servants, and neighbors. I have found that the deceased did not have any enemies recently."

"Did the night watchman ask?"

"Mitai said there were no suspicious people around that night."

The capital has three walls, the palace city, the inner city, and the outer city.

Although there are night watchmen in the outer city, there is no curfew. The city gates are open all night at 12 o'clock. Merchants can enter and exit the city gates freely as long as they report in advance and hold the certificate.

This system has greatly improved the commercial trade in the capital and promoted economic development.

Xu Qian nodded: "So, if it is a thief, he should be an acquaintance who knows Kangping Street well."

"How come you can see that?" All the officials were stunned.

"The thief can come in and out of the house at night without being discovered by the patrolling soldiers. It means that he has been through a lot and knows the patrol rules of the sword guards." Xu Qian analyzed while instinctively feeling for a cigarette in his pocket.

Sadly and empty-handed.

I couldn't help but think of when I was working in the police station. At that time, everyone would sit together in twos and threes, smoking cigarettes and discussing the case.

As a result, he became addicted to smoking.

Several colleagues were surprised and looked at Xu Qian:

"It makes perfect sense."

"Why didn't we think of this?"

"Ning Yan, after being in prison once, people become smarter."

There are no systematic teaching courses these days. Police officers handle cases based on experience, and the one with the best performance can be the head catcher.

"You didn't expect it, but Mr. Wang must have thought of it. Have you gone to the west side of the city to ask?" Xu Qian kept a low profile and did not show off.

The colleague replied: "I have been asking for two days, but the suspect has not been identified."

The west part of the city is a slum, full of thieves, good and bad, and there is usually a public security problem. The government officials take the white servants and run there to catch them as soon as possible.

"How much money was lost?" Xu Qian subconsciously started reasoning in his mind and asked.

A colleague glanced at Xu Qi'an and felt that his tone sounded a bit like a county magistrate, so he replied: "I didn't lose it. The deceased just came back from rent collection, and what was collected was broken silver; copper coins and rice grains. After the murder, the thief

How is it possible to escape with a large box of money?"

wrong!

Xu Qian narrowed his eyes. If I were a thief and had stepped on something, I would definitely choose to steal it the next day instead of today.

He did not express his doubts and continued to listen to his colleagues talking about the mountains while eating melon seeds.

"It's a pity that such a beautiful woman has to become a widow at such a young age. With such a figure, you can't find such an outstanding woman in the shopping mall. I'm willing to sleep for one tael for one night."

"She's not younger anymore. She's just 20 years younger than the one named Zhang. She seems to be in her early thirties. A woman of this age is most unable to remain a widow."

Hearing this, Xu Qian said with emotion: "A thirty-year-old woman is good, sensible, and able to care for others."

His mature words were not recognized by his colleagues. Everyone looked at him and laughed and joked.

If you want to follow the path of martial arts, you will not be able to break through the Qi training realm. If the Yang Qi is dispersed, it will be difficult to open the gate of heaven.

Therefore, Xu Qi'an has been carrying the Ruyi Golden Cudgel for nineteen years and has not yet subdued the female demon.

.....

The back hall where the county magistrate lives.

With dark skin and looking like an old farmer on the ridge, Mr. Wang lowered his head and listened listlessly to the scolding of the county magistrate.

The county magistrate's surname is Zhu. He is rich, fair and fat. He is from Yanzhou. He was a top three Jinshi in the 20th year of Yuanjing. He is good at business but not good at official business. He is a scholar with mediocre business ability, but he knows how to be an official.

The advantage is that he still has a good conscience, is not greedy but not too greedy, and is incompetent but does not disturb the people.

The disadvantage is that he has a bad temper towards his subordinates and tends to spit out sweet things.

"Incompetent, so incompetent."

Knowing that Mr. Wang still had no results yesterday, Magistrate Zhu was furious.

"You are an experienced veteran after all. It's just a murder case, but you haven't had any clues for so many days."

Sweat broke out on Wang Captou's forehead, and thorns pricked his back.

With the Beijing police approaching, Magistrate Zhu became even more irritable...Li Dianshi did not dare to interrupt, even though he and Wang Baotou had been friends for more than ten years.

Li Dianshi knew that the county magistrate had always wanted to be promoted. Promotion required two conditions: backing and political performance!

With no political achievements, only backers, he is easily impeached and his position is unstable.

Only when you have political achievements and a backer can you rise steadily.

Where do political achievements come from?

Jingcha is an important assessment standard.

A quarter of an hour later, Magistrate Zhu withdrew his gaze, picked up the tea cup and took a sip.

Official rules: serve tea to see off guests!

Seeing this, Li Dianshi pulled Wang Baotou, who lowered his head and remained silent, and the two left in embarrassment.

...

Wang Captou returned to the lounge with an ugly expression. The messy room suddenly became quiet, and everyone looked at Wang Captou cautiously.

"Boss, did County Magistrate Zhu scold you again?"

Mr. Wang rolled his eyes, grabbed the tea cup and took a sip: "Damn it, where can you find someone who is dead and a thief is gone? I am so unlucky today, I lost a penny of silver."

It was you who dropped the money...Xu Qian shrank his neck and drank tea to hide his guilt.

Silver obviously has no connection with you.

After listening to Captain Wang's complaints, a young catcher gave him a bad idea: "How about catching a fish?"

Xu Qian's brows twitched.

Fishing, a professional term in the lower-level official circles!

Meaning: Find a scapegoat.

Limited by technology and equipment, most of the cases in ancient times were unsolved, and the detection rate was extremely low. Sometimes officials would find a scapegoat to take their place due to reasons such as seeking political achievements or pressure from superiors.

The process is like this. First, local officials select a group of old gangsters who often commit crimes. Their names are written on paper, folded, and the officials touch it.

Whoever is touched will be the scapegoat.

That’s why it’s called fishing.

After the unlucky person was locked up, the officials went to lock him up and brought back to the Yamen a set of assembly lines called "beating into a move", and even the toughest person could be recruited.

The superiors are satisfied, the officials in the middle are appreciated, the clerks are rewarded, hello to me, hello to everyone.

It's not unfair to be a scapegoat. He is a rotten person anyway. Sending him to reincarnation as soon as possible is also for the benefit of the people around him.

There are many, many similar saucy operations in official circles.

Wang Captou nodded: "This is the only way, Xiao Li, you can handle this matter and pick a few who are more casual and older."

Just when Xiao Li was about to nod, Xu Qian frowned and said, "Wait a minute! Boss, there are many doubts about this case, and it's not impossible to start."

Xu Qian doesn't recognize this truth.

Although I have not been a police officer for many years, the three views I established at that time are still there.

Even though he is a bastard who commits crimes, his crime will not lead to death. Even if he is innocent enough to die, he will still be assigned the same code.

If you find someone to replace you here, wouldn't it be a waste of money for the real culprit over there?

Wang Captou lowered his face, said nothing, and gave him an unpleasant look.

Everyone advised:

"Ning Yan, don't be too troublesome."

"There's nothing we can do about the boss being scolded every day. Besides, he's just a bastard who often gets into trouble."

The person with a better relationship said: "Boss, Ning Yan's family has just suffered a disaster, so it is inevitable that he will be a little sensitive to such things."

Mr. Wang turned a deaf ear and stared at Xu Qi'an. He was unhappy and said with a sullen face: "Tell me how to check!"
