Song Huifu's face was serious, "Sir, if it is really as stated in the book, then the poisoning in Wannian County is not an accident!"
Yang Qingyuan picked up a mushroom, "According to the book, this mushroom is called white rod poison by the local people in Jiaozhou. Although it is a fungus, its toxicity is not inferior to the poison poison that has been lost in the mountains."
.”
"However, this mushroom has extremely strict requirements on the breeding environment. The air must be kept moist and warm!"
When it came to this point, all three people present understood it!
"Could it be that the climate in Wannian County has reached these specific conditions?"
Di Zhiyuan was not involved in the poisoning case in Wannian County, and his knowledge of it is unknown.
Song Huifu shook his head and said, "Zhiyuan, when I went to Wannian County that day, the climate was extremely dry, so the word "humidity" has nothing to do with it."
"Yes, today Wenhua Palace received a memorial from Wannian County. The mountains and forests in Wannian County were caused by thunder igniting dead trees, causing mountain fires! According to common sense, it can be inferred that in order to cause mountain fires, it must be air.
Dry and stacked dead wood. In such an environment, the white rod fungus cannot grow naturally."
Although Yang Qingyuan is a liberal arts student, he still has basic common sense.
"So it's very possible that these mushrooms were spread deliberately in Wannian County!?" Di Zhiyuan was already thinking about who to kill in such a large-scale poisoning case.
"Mr. Song?! Is there any connection between the poisoned families?!"
After Song Hui's father nodded, he shook his head again, "After all, it is a small county, and there are several families in it who are related to each other. But they are only distant relatives, and they don't have much in common."
"Then why did the poisoner do this!?" Di Zhiyuan couldn't understand the purpose of the poisoner.
"No, it should be assumed that someone did not deliberately poison me. I asked the vendors at the market that day, and then arrested the vendors who were selling mushrooms that day. They were all farmers from the nearby mountains, but suddenly they picked a large amount of mushrooms in the mountains.
The small white rod mushrooms then went to the market in the county to be sold."
Di Zhiyuan nodded when he heard this, "This is strange! If this is the case, how can the poisoner control the mushroom so that someone can eat it accurately?!"
Ji Yaohua, who had been silent on the side, said, "Could it be that there is no accurate target at all, just to poison and kill people. As for who is killed in the end, it doesn't matter to the poisoner at all, as long as they kill people?!"
"This is unlikely!"
Yang Qingyuan, who had been listening to Song Hui's father and Di Zhiyuan's discussion without speaking, denied it.
"This kind of white rod Gu fungus grows in Jiaozhou. Do you think it would take so much effort to kill people in a disorderly manner?! And it has to be transported all the way to preserve its activity and toxicity, which is a lot of waste. If
Just to kill people at once, just poison the well. Why go to such trouble to kill a few civilians, scholars, and petty officials?"
Yang Qingyuan was right. If he were to kill a high-ranking official of the imperial court, a royal family member, or the like, it would be understandable to act like this. But if he were to act like this to kill a few civilians, it would indeed be unworthy and logically unreasonable!
Among the current deceased, the one with the highest status was just the county scholar, a low-ranking ninth-grade official.
There must be something hidden behind these dead people!!
"The only thing that can be determined at present is that the large-scale poisoning case in Wannian County was done deliberately by someone and was definitely not an accident."
"It seems we have to go to Wannian County! There are more than fifty lives, but we can't just say it's gone!" Yang Qingyuan made a decision.
"Sir, let me go!" Song Hui's father was angry and angry. He had been hiding the case for so many years!
"Let me go with you! Wannian County is not far from the gods. Even if something happens, we can come back immediately!" Yang Qingyuan decided to go together, and then ordered, "Miss Yao, Zhiyuan, after we leave, inside the temple
I’ll leave the business to you!”
Di Zhiyuan is the Prime Minister of Dali Temple and can take charge of the daily government affairs of Dali Temple. Ji Yaohua is one of the first batch of people to join Dali Temple. She is also the female capture commander and can take charge of the field staff of Dali Temple.
The two of them joined forces and were able to temporarily control Dali Temple.
After arranging everything, Yang Qingyuan got up. As a young minister of Dali Temple, he left the capital without reporting. If he was to be impeached by his political opponents, he had to apply to the cabinet and go to Wannian County to investigate the case in person.
At this time, all the bachelors in the cabinet were no longer there, leaving only those on duty. Yang Qingyuan went directly to the residence of his teacher Qian Muqian.
"What?! The poisoning incident in Wannian County was not an accident?!"
Although this incident was not a big one, after all, the case was reported to the Ministry of Punishment and Dali Temple, and more than ten people died. As a bachelor of the Great Zhou Cabinet, it was normal for Qian Muqian to know about it.
The memorial that formed the task force at that time also passed through Qian Muqian's hands.
"Yes! I accidentally found a book called "Miscellaneous Notes on the Mountains of Jiaozhou" in the Shanhai Pavilion of the Hanlin Academy, and found some clues in it."
"This case is so important?! Is it worth it for you, the young minister of Dali Temple, to go there in person?!"
Shaoqing of Dali Temple, the fourth rank, is equivalent to the Deputy Secretary of Political and Legal Wei and Vice President of the Supreme Court of the Great Zhou Dynasty.
"Dozens of lives, still in the important area of Gyeonggi Province! We can't let the bad guys do whatever they want! Besides, the people behind the scenes are so generous, they must not just kill a few people!"
Qian Muqian didn't ask any further questions. He was not good at criminal investigation, but he thought that his disciple was sensible.
"That being the case, please be more careful. I will take care of it for you at the Cabinet and His Majesty's office!"
"Thank you, mentor!"
After notifying Qian Muqian, Yang Qingyuan could leave the capital with peace of mind.
Now Yang Qingyuan's power in the court has reached a high point, and his backers are extremely tough.
Qian Muqian, a bachelor of Wenyuan Pavilion, was Yang Qingyuan's teacher. The teacher-student friendship was one of the strongest relationships in the officialdom of the Great Zhou Dynasty.
Yu Yanyi, a bachelor of Wuyingdian, had a good relationship with Yang Qingyuan. They had been friends for many years. They drank and talked happily and discussed the border defense military system. They were very compatible, and their relationship was even better than that between Qian Muqian and Yang Qingyuan.
This chapter is not over, please click on the next page to continue reading! Sun Fuji, the chief scholar of Wenhuadian University, was Yang Qingyuan’s immediate boss, taught Yang Qingyuan government affairs, and admired him very much.
The four bachelors currently in charge, except Li Hongyi, the bachelor of Jianji Palace, all have good personal relationships with Yang Qingyuan.
And Emperor Zhou had great trust in Yang Qingyuan, especially the golden generation who lived in the 13th year of Yong'an, and regarded him as the future pillar of the imperial court.
Under such a situation, Yang Qingyuan, although he had political opponents in the court, was not afraid of him, and faced little resistance when doing things.
After getting permission from the cabinet, Yang Qingyuan set off with the people from Dali Temple the next day.
Accompanying him were Song Huifu, the head of the Chahao Division, Liu Wangshu, the guest minister, and Li Mochou, who had worked at Dali Temple for three years without salary, and twenty field staff from Dali Temple.
Wannian County is only more than 200 miles away from Shendu.
The group of people walked quickly for half a day when they encountered heavy rain and thunder.
However, everyone in Dali Temple is a martial arts practitioner, and the Dali Temple Criminal Law Academy also has courses for walking in the rain, and they did not stop because of the heavy rain.
The group finally arrived at Wannian County at night.
"Who is under the city!? There is a curfew at this moment, no doors are allowed!!"
Wannian County is located in the Gyeonggi region and is guarded by four gates on all sides. It has not seen military action in thirty years, and even banditry has not been seen. Suddenly encountering dozens of cavalry at night, the captain in charge of city defense could not help but feel a little nervous.
Yang Qingyuan took out a token from his arms, threw it on the city wall, and landed accurately in the hands of the captain.
Suddenly something fell into his hands, and the captain was startled. Before he could take a closer look, he heard someone shouting from below.
"Dali Temple has been ordered to handle the case! Open the city gate quickly!"
The captain used the light of the torch to see clearly what was in his hand. It was a black token.
The whole body is made of black jade. On the front, there is a light golden word "Li" in the middle of the token. It looks like it is used by a noble person!
But how could a small captain of the city defense army in a small county have ever seen such a high-level token? Not to mention him, even the magistrate of Wannian County might not have seen it.
Not to mention the Great Zhou Dynasty, even in later generations, people often forged blue-printed documents and certificates and pretended to be senior civil servants to deceive. The fundamental reason is that lower-level civil servants have never come into contact with such senior officials, so it is difficult to distinguish the authenticity.
Just when the captain was hesitating, another item was thrown at him.
Coincidentally, the captain had seen this item before.
This is the official certificate of Song Huifu, the Prime Minister of Dali Temple. When Song Huifu came to Wannian County last time to investigate the county school poisoning case, the school captain saw it and was deeply impressed.
Although there are many high-ranking officials traveling to and from Wannian County, most of them just rest for a night at the Guanyi Station in Wannian County before setting off. Only Song Huifu, the prime minister of Dali Temple, had some exchanges with the school captain, so he remembered this.
clear.
Only a few days passed, and unexpectedly, the captain saw him again.
"Open the city gate quickly! Master Song is below!"
Following the captain's order, the city gates of Wannian County opened with a bang, and Yang Qingyuan immediately led his people into the city, leaving a catcher to hand over to the city defense captain.''
"Sir, shall we go to the posthouse to rest first?!"
A black-clad field worker from Dali Temple asked on horseback. On his black field service uniform, there were two red stripes, one long and one short, embroidered on it!
This person is Li Gang, the patrol commander of Dali Temple. This policeman who once almost offended Yang Qingyuan and Li Xunhuan on the street is now the patrol commander of Dali Temple.
Yang Qingyuan was wearing a black uniform with four red stripes embroidered on the cuffs. He said on the horse, "If you're not busy resting, go to the Liumen Branch of Wannian County first!"
-------------------
Nowadays, Liumen is about to return to the anti-theft department of Dali Temple. Although it is nominally directly under the Ministry of Punishment, the policemen of Liumen ignore the big bosses of the Ministry of Punishment. It is obviously Yang Qingyuan, a civil servant with an aura of martial arts.
It’s more in line with Six Doors’ wishes.
The key is, Yang Qingyuan gives a lot!
The official of the Ministry of Punishment only knows how to operate six doors, and does not let the horses eat grass, but also wants the horses to run faster.
But Yang Qingyuan is different. From the beginning of water transportation, he has always thought about Six Gates. If you have a mouthful of meat in Dali Temple, you will definitely have a mouthful of soup in Six Gates!
He also knighted Liu Dufeng, the leader of Liumenmen, and officially entered the upper echelon of Da Zhou.
In this case, do we need to think about who should be the boss?!
The six-door policeman is just uneducated, not stupid!!
