Chapter 162 Ask Lord Qin to lead troops into Huainan
At this time, Jia Yun was standing at the coal mine site where the roof accident occurred, and asked Chu Kaichun beside her: "Master Chu, who were at the scene when the incident happened?"
Chu Kaichun said: "Since Mr. Qin came here suddenly to investigate, there were only two miners at the scene. In addition, Mr. Qin himself took a scribe and four coal soldiers, a total of eight people, into the mine.
As a result, they all died unfortunately.”
"In the afternoon after the incident, when other miners came here to mine the coal mine, they discovered that there had been a roof accident. After I learned about it, I immediately brought people over and dug out the bodies of Mr. Qin and others."
Jia Yun nodded: "It seems that Mr. Qin did die in the roof accident. This incident was purely an accident."
Chu Kaichun was overjoyed and pretended to be sorry on his face: "Oh, Master Qin, what a pity!"
Jia Yun also regretted: "The sky is unpredictable, and people are prone to misfortunes and misfortunes. Mr. Qin's appointment as the censor of the coal inspection was recommended by me in front of the emperor. I did not expect that such a disaster would happen. This made me feel sorry for the deceased."
Master Qin feels guilty!"
Chu Kaichun comforted him: "Master Jia, you don't have to blame yourself. You recommended Master Qin in the first place, which is a blessing to Master Qin. As for Master Qin's unexpected disaster, the so-called unintentional person is not guilty. Master Jia could not have expected it in advance."
If something like this happens, what's the crime?"
Jia Yun said: "Thank you, Mr. Chu. I feel better after listening to Mr. Chu's words."
Chu Kaichun asked: "Master Jia, do you want to continue investigating this matter? If you want to continue the investigation, if you need anything, just tell me."
Jia Yun shook her head: "The truth of the matter is very clear. Continuing the investigation is just in vain. Let's go, Mr. Chu, I have to go back to the Coal Administration Yamen."
Immediately, Jia Yun and Chu Kaichun left the coal mine together and returned to Huainan City.
During the process, Chu Kaichun said to Jia Yun: "Mr. Jia, although I invited you to a Jiefeng banquet last night, the arrangement was too hasty. I have arranged another banquet for you tonight. I hope Master Jia will reward you again."
Jia Yun smiled and said: "Master Chu is too polite. I am just a martial artist, and I have always admired scholars the most. And Master Chu is not only the magistrate of Huainan, but also a second-class scholar. Master Chu is willing to treat me as a host. It is my honor. I
How dare you refuse and how can you refuse?"
…
…
In the afternoon, Jia Yun returned to the temporary coal administration yamen. After returning, she locked herself in the study room of the main room and meditated alone...
Although Jia Yun had only been in Huainan for one day, he had already roughly guessed the truth of the matter.
There are eight reasons for the speculation:
First, Qin Ye is an upright and conscientious official, but not very resourceful. Combined with Qin Keqing's statement, Jia Yun speculates that it is likely that Qin Ye is unwilling to accept bribes from local private coal dealers, and even wants to report local officials and private coal dealers.
businessmen, which made local officials and private coal traders jealous, which formed their motive for murdering Qin Ye.
Secondly, the night before Qin Ye died, he told Qin Keqing that he was going to investigate a coal mine secretly mined by Lou Biao the next day, but he died in an officially mined coal mine. Jia Yun speculated that it was probably Lou Biao who murdered him.
Qin Ye.
Thirdly, after the incident, the Huainan government sent people to "negotiate" with Qin Keqing several times. Even the two maids Ruizhu and Baozhu came to them to make them agree that Qin Ye died in the roof accident, and even threatened them.
, this shows that Chu Kaichun, the magistrate of Huainan, had a guilty conscience as a thief, and Chu Kaichun had a close relationship with Lou Biao.
Fourth, Cheng Huanian also suspected that Qin Ye was murdered. Jia Yun not only trusted Cheng Huanian's character, but also knew that Cheng Huanian was a very smart man. Cheng Huanian had been staying in Huainan these days, so Jia Yun believed that Cheng Huanian's suspicion would not be wrong.
Fifth, the accident occurred in the morning. It stands to reason that in the officially mined coal mines, there should be many miners working in the morning. As a result, there were only two miners that morning, and they were accompanied by Qin Ye and a scribe brought by Qin Ye.
The coal soldiers died together. Isn't this strange enough?
Sixth, the corpses of Qin Ye and the other eight people were completely destroyed, and even the good work could not be checked to find any problems. Is this destroying the corpses and eradicating traces?
Seventh, although Chu Kaichun was not qualified to win a university in front of Jia Yun due to Jia Yun's status, Chu Kaichun was a fourth-grade prefect or a second-grade Jinshi, and he was a middle-aged man who had been an official for many years. Jia Yun
Yun felt that Chu Kaichun's attitude in front of him was too cordial and enthusiastic, and he had a guilty conscience!
Eighth, the behavior of Lou Shoufeng, the commander-in-chief of Shouchun Town, was exactly the opposite of Chu Kaichun, and he was too cold and distant towards Jia Yun.
Jia Yun is an imperial envoy this time. Even if Lou Shoufeng is a military attaché of the second rank, when Jia Yun comes to Huainan, Lou Shoufeng still needs to see Jia Yun.
What's more, Lou Shoufeng was born as a second-level martial arts scholar. Jia Yun, as the first young Wu Sanyuan and young Wu Liuyuan in history, was accompanied by six palace guards who were all martial arts scholars this time. Lou Shoufeng, as a famous figure in the martial arts world,
Senior, you should also meet Jia Yun.
However, Jia Yun has been here for a day, and Lou Shoufeng, the commander-in-chief of Shouchun Town, has not shown up. Jia Yun feels that Lou Shoufeng is probably deliberately avoiding him. The reason is that Qin Ye was probably murdered by his eldest son Lou Biao!
Based on the above eight points, Jia Yun is now almost certain that Qin Ye was murdered and did not die in the roof accident. The person who murdered Qin Ye was private coal dealer Lou Biao, and there may even be the participation of Huainan Magistrate Chu Kaichun.
There is the participation of Lou Shoufeng, the commander-in-chief of Shouchun Town!
Even if Chu Kaichun and Lou Shoufeng did not participate in the murder, these two people still protected the murderer Lou Biao!
However, if Jia Yun wants to obtain witnesses, the evidence will be difficult!
Qin Keqing and Cheng Huanian are not important witnesses, so it is even harder to obtain evidence.
If Jia Yun follows the normal procedure, obtaining witnesses and evidence first and then arresting people, the matter will become very complicated and difficult.
Fortunately, Jia Yun doesn't have to go through the normal process, he can play cards that don't follow common sense!
He could arrest Lou Biao, Chu Kaichun, and Lou Shoufeng first and then interrogate them...
Because he is an imperial envoy and carries more than one imperial edict on this trip, he has such privileges!
Just like, if Emperor Tianzhi comes to handle this matter, does Emperor Tianzhi have to work hard to obtain witness evidence before arresting people? Haha, Emperor Tianzhi doesn't need to do this, as long as he feels it himself, that's it!
Of course, Jia Yun was not Emperor Tianzhi after all.
If Jia Yun's speculation this time is wrong, if he arrests Lou Biao, Chu Kaichun, and Lou Shoufeng, and these three people are all unjustly accused, and at the same time these three people are not involved in private coal mining, then Jia Yun will suffer.
If Emperor Tianzhi punishes him, even if Emperor Tianzhi does not take the initiative to punish him, he will be impeached by officials.
Is Jia Yun's conjecture wrong?
Jia Yun doesn’t think so!
What's more, even if Qin Ye's death had nothing to do with Lou Biao, Chu Kaichun, and Lou Shoufeng, just because they participated in private coal mining, Jia Yun was justified in arresting them!
…
…
At this time, there was a knock on the door of the study, interrupting Jia Yun's meditation.
Jia Yun asked: "Who is it?"
Qin Keqing's voice came from the door: "Second Master Yun, it's me, Keqing."
Yesterday, the two of them held hands and talked, which was considered to be their romance!
The two failed to get engaged last year, but they suddenly became engaged yesterday!
As a result, Qin Keqing's title for Jia Yun has now changed from "Master Jia" to "Second Master Yun".
This is because Qin Keqing is reserved, otherwise she would have called Jia Yun "Second Master".
Hearing Qin Keqing's gentle and approachable voice, Jia Yun's originally gloomy heart seemed to suddenly have a bright sunshine, and her original serious expression became gentle, and she said: "Come in."
Qin Keqing walked into the study, still dressed in white mourning clothes, holding a small covered clock with tea in one hand, and a plate with some snacks in the other hand.
Qin Keqing walked up to Jia Yun gracefully, put the clock and the plate on the desk, and said softly to Jia Yun: "When Mr. Yun came back before, he told me that you had lunch at the coal mine. I
I thought that lunch at the coal mine would be shabby, so I brought some snacks to Mr. Yun to help him fill his stomach."
Jia Yun smiled gently: "Thank you, Ke Qing."
After saying that, he picked up the small clock and took a sip of tea, then picked up a piece of snack and ate it.
Qin Keqing said: "This is not worthy of thanks. After all, Second Master Yun is working hard for my father this time."
Qin Keqing then asked curiously: "Master Yun has been alone in the study for almost half an hour. What are you doing?"
Jia Yun said calmly: "What else can I do? I'm thinking about your father."
Qin Keqing hurriedly asked: "What kind of tricks did Xunsi think of?"
Jia Yun did not respond immediately this time. She cautiously walked to the door of the study room and looked into the main room. No one was in the main room. Jia Yun walked to the door of the main room again and looked outside the main room. There was no one near the main room.
The two maids, Ruizhu and Baozhu, stood under the eaves of the west wing and looked around.
Qin Keqing is indeed smart. Yesterday, Jia Yun was talking to her about business and avoided Ruizhu and Baozhu. She knew that Jia Yun was acting cautiously and did not even trust Ruizhu and Baozhu.
Qin Keqing felt that Jia Yun should do this, so she also became cautious. This time she came to see Jia Yun, and deliberately did not let Ruizhu and Baozhu follow her, so that the two maids, the older one and the younger one, were not allowed to come near.
After confirming that there was no one else inside or outside the main room, Jia Yun returned to the study and whispered to Qin Keqing: "Ke Qing, there is something I need to tell you in advance to prevent you from being wronged or even wrongly accusing me."
Qin Keqing also asked in a low voice: "Master Yun, what can you tell me?"
Jia Yun became more cautious and waved to Qin Keqing. Qin Keqing understood and couldn't help but blush a little. She held back her shyness and walked to Jia Yun. Jia Yun whispered something into her ear...
After Qin Keqing listened, her eyes, which were red and swollen from crying a lot in the past few days, suddenly became brighter...
At this moment, when Qin Keqing looked at Jia Yun, her heart was filled with admiration. She secretly sighed that Jia Yun was not only brave and courageous, but also resourceful and capable of both civil and military skills!
Qin Keqing was too embarrassed to express her feelings of admiration and could only express them through actions. So she suppressed her shyness and said softly to Jia Yun: "Master Yun, you must be tired after working for a long time today, but Qing
Can I give you a shoulder squeeze?"
How could Jia Yun refuse? She immediately sat back at the desk and enjoyed the service of the most beautiful woman in the Red Mansion.
At the same time, Jia Yun picked up a writing brush and wrote a "special" document...
Two-quarters of an hour later, Jia Yun finished writing the document. She deliberately did not bind it and simply put it into an envelope.
"But Qing, please stay away." Jia Yun said.
Qin Keqing said "yes" and immediately returned to her west wing. Jia Yun called Mu Fu and Tang Daqian into the study. After the three of them talked quietly, Mu Fu and Tang Daqian took the documents and rode on horseback.
Left the Provisional Coal Administration Office.
Jia Yun speculated that the two of them would probably be intercepted before leaving Huainan City...
And he wants to play a trick of using his own tactics...
…
…
Sure enough, as Jia Yun expected, when Mu Fu and Tang Daqian rode to the gate of Huainan City, they were intercepted by a group of officers and soldiers.
Zhou Yan was the military attaché responsible for guarding the city gate. It was he who led his officers and soldiers to intercept Mu Fu and Tang Daqian. Not only did they intercept them, Zhou Yan also searched Mu Fu and Tang Daqian.
Mu Fu and Tang Daqian only resisted symbolically.
Jia Yun's documents were found.
Zhou Yan opened the document directly and looked at it.
The content written in the document is roughly:
Jia Yun reported to Emperor Tianzhi that after his preliminary investigation, Qin Ye indeed died in the roof accident, which was purely an accident. Jia Yun also regretted Qin Ye's death in the document, and also expressed her own feelings.
The feeling of guilt towards Qin Ye.
After reading the document, Zhou Yan returned it to Mu Fu. Tang Daqian cupped his hands and said with a smile: "I'm sorry, sirs. I saw you suddenly left the temporary coal administration Yamen without authorization. I thought you had some conspiracy against Mr. Jia."
, for the sake of Mr. Jia’s safety, I offended you two.”
"The truth is now revealed. You did send documents to Beijing for Mr. Jia, but I have offended you two. I really deserve a beating. I should have asked you to be a host and apologized to you, but you two
Your Excellency has something important to do, so I have to give up."
"I have ten taels of gold here. You two adults, take it as my apology to you."
With that said, Zhou Yan took out ten taels of gold and handed it to Mu Fu and Tang Daqian.
Mu Fu said with a smile: "Although your Excellency's blocking and searching of us this time made us all angry, my anger dissipated after hearing what Your Excellency said. In this case, let's just pretend that this never happened."
With that said, Mu Fu took the twelve taels of gold.
Immediately, Mu Fu and Tang Daqian left Huainan City on horseback...
Zhou Yan immediately went to the General Military Office of Shouchun Town and told the commander-in-chief Lou Shoufeng about the matter. Then he went to the prefect's Yamen and told the matter to the prefect Chu Kaichun.
It is worth mentioning that the gates of Huainan City are not guarded by the Huainan government officials, but by the officers and soldiers under Lou Shoufeng, and Zhou Yan is the military attaché under Lou Shoufeng.
…
…
After Mu Fu and Tang Daqian left Huainan City on horseback, they headed north.
The two of them did not go to Shenjing City, but to Xuzhou, to the Xuzhou Town Military Headquarters!
The so-called document written by Jia Yun this time is false. The real purpose is that he wants Mu Fu and Tang Daqian to pass a few words to Qin Houxiang, the commander-in-chief of Xuzhou Town.
One of the sentences is: "Please ask Lord Qin to lead troops into Huainan!"
