"My young master is worthy of being a hero in the capital! He abides by the law and should be a role model for our generation!"
There is no cost to praise someone. Yang Qingyuan praised Feng Qian fiercely, and then said, "Young Master's servant! Interfering with the law enforcement of Dali Temple! You will be punished with ten sticks and a fine of ten taels of silver! You can go to Jingzhao Mansion.
Bring your own punishment!"
Yang Qingyuan skillfully took the ticket customized by Dali Temple and issued one to Feng Qian.
Yang Qingyuan is extremely skilled in this business!
Feng Qian was not angry, but took the ticket from Yang Qingyuan's hand, "It should be! It should be! Master Yang enforces the law strictly, I have always heard of it! Today, he is indeed a domestic slave of my Duke of Ying, and he broke the law first!"
"
Judging from his current performance, Feng Qian can indeed be called a gentleman. When a slave makes a mistake, he not only does not shirk it, but also admits it generously.
"This is Mr. Yang's token. Please keep it, Mr. Yang!"
As he said this, Feng Qian presented Yang Qingyuan's token with both hands. This series of operations almost made Yang Qingyuan die!
There is no trace of noble arrogance in this body at all!
The Duke of Ying's Palace is the top noble of the Great Zhou Dynasty. Among the Fengyang family, he can still compete with three out of five. Why is this young prince of the Duke of Ying's Palace completely different from the nobles he has encountered before?
!
Yang Qingyuan took the token in a daze. He was so polite, and Yang Qingyuan was embarrassed to continue speaking so violently.
On the other side, Feng Qian looked at the ticket issued by Yang Qingyuan with an inexplicable expression. Yang Qingyuan had no idea what he was thinking in his heart!?
"I wonder what business the young master has here!?"
Yang Qingyuan felt that the atmosphere was getting weird!
"Lord Yang, you don't know. This Wanli Gambling House can be regarded as my property. I received the news that Wanli Gambling House was burned down by fire, so I immediately came all the way from the capital of God!"
Yang Qingyuan looked incomprehensible when he listened to Feng Qian's words.
The fire broke out the night before and we only arrived today. This time is very delicate!
If Feng Qian was the one who set the fire, then it stands to reason that he would never appear in front of him in a hurry.
If Feng Qian had an informant in Wannian County, he would definitely come as soon as the fire broke out.
After all, it is true to take advantage of the situation! Come as soon as possible, maybe you can reduce the losses!
But Feng Qian arrived at this time, giving people the feeling that he had just learned the news.
"Then the young master's losses this time are not small! The fire the night before yesterday was so big that not only the casualties were heavy, and compensation may be required, but also the copper coins and silver ingots in the gambling house and the water that turned into copper and silver seeped into the ground.
!”
The melting point of copper is 1083°C, the melting point of silver is 962°C, and the temperature of firewood can reach up to 2000°C. In this case, almost all the cash in the gambling house will be lost.
"Master Yang, this is wrong! Every day after the Wanli Casino closes, the cash will be deposited into the Tiandi Bank, so the loss is only one day's cash!"
"Since the loss is not big, I would like to ask my young father-in-law to do a good job in the subsequent compensation work."
It is still unclear who caused the fire, so the gambling house must first bear part of the civil liability.
If it is later found out that someone indeed deliberately set the fire, then the gambling house will recover the amount of compensation from the arsonist.
But the primary purpose now is to appease the public's grievances.
This amount of compensation for the deceased is really nothing to Wanli Gambling House!
Dazhou originally had no standards for civil death compensation and criminal and civil death compensation!
It all depends on the judgment of the presiding officer. How much compensation will be awarded! If the judgment is too much, then you are lucky! If the judgment is too little, you can only accept your fate.
Some officials who find it troublesome simply refuse to judge, and they cannot bear any responsibility. If they want money, they can find a way to get it themselves!
This is not a fair era, or there is no fair era.
The reason why civilization is civilization is that the law of the jungle will be reversed in civilization! Continuously protecting the weak is the meaning of civilization.
If we claim to be civilized but still rely on the law of the jungle, then what is the difference between humans and animals?!
From slaves to feudalism, from feudalism to republic, this is a process in which the weak are constantly treated well and protected.
Taizu may not understand this truth, but he knew that the people are the most important, the country is the second, and the king is the least.
That's why there is this Taizu who is said to be mean and ungrateful among the scholars, but the people always remember him.
Whether it was to consolidate his rule or because he was born into a poor family, Taizu intentionally or unintentionally sided with the people.
Master Yang, the young minister of Dali Temple, did not have such a high level of ideological consciousness, but he could still fill in the legal gaps in the Zhou Dynasty and standardize the amount of compensation so that it could be checked and followed.
The "Supplementary Explanations to the Dazhou Code and the Trial Standards for Compensation for Disability and Death" were jointly compiled by Yang Qingyuan and the Ministry of Husbandry and the Ministry of Punishment.
This standard stipulates in detail how local officials should compensate the injured and deceased.
Based on the experience of later Blue Stars, Yang Qingyuan divided death compensation into two parts: compensation and pension, and compensated according to the division of responsibilities.
Although there are still many flaws and shortcomings, it can be regarded as giving local officials a standard for compensation and not making arbitrary decisions.
Feng Qian heard what Yang Qingyuan said about the compensation, and immediately answered, "Don't worry, Mr. Yang, our Duke of Ying is not one of those ruthless and righteous people. The compensation for the people who were killed will not be less!"
Yang Qingyuan suddenly felt that Feng Qian didn't look like a bad person at all!
These three views are still very correct!
"By the way! Mr. Yang, the people from Dali Temple are here. Is there something fishy about this fire!?"
Dali Temple is only responsible for major criminal cases and will not take action in ordinary fires.
Of course, Yang Qingyuan couldn't tell lies with his eyes open. It just so happened that he also wanted to test the young prince of the Duke of Ying's mansion!
"Young Master, you don't know something! This gambling house in your house is involved in a major criminal case!"
"Ah?!" Feng Qian's expression was slightly surprised, as if he did not expect this answer.
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! "How is it possible?! Mr. Yang, our Duke of Ying is the most disciplined. It is strictly forbidden to lend gambling funds! It is strictly forbidden to mortgage property... But... this Wannian County
The gambling house is not under our direct control!"
Feng Qian thought to himself and said, "I said at the time not to open this casino, but now something really happened!"
Yang Qingyuan only felt that Feng Qian's expression didn't seem to be fake, otherwise his acting skills would be too good.
Feng Qian was upset, so he took out the folding fan from his sleeve, opened it and started fanning.
Yang Qingyuan has never understood that those of them who wear folding fans in autumn and winter, the only purpose of wearing folding fans in this season is to show off!
But the moment Feng Qian opened the folding fan!
A hint of surprise flashed in Yang Qingyuan's eyes!
There’s something wrong with this folding fan!
This folding fan is different from ordinary folding fans. It uses rare wood as its ribs. The ribs of the folding fan in Feng Qian’s hand are made of white jade!
The finest mutton fat white jade!
Mutton fat is an adjective for white jade, describing the color and luster of white jade.
White jade is divided into "ziyu", "mountain material" and "shanliushui".
The most popular among them is the so-called "Ziyu".
"Ziyu" is produced in the Yu River at the foot of Kunlun Mountain. This kind of "Ziyu" is hard and dense, delicate and moist, with a luster like fat. The ancients described it as "often stained by fat."
Ziyu has been soaked in the water and soil of the wasteland or oasis under the Kunlun Mountains for millions of years. Its texture is hard and dense, and it is as moist as ever, which is really its preciousness. Under the soft and white appearance, it has toughness that is stronger than steel, which is also true.
This is where its valuable value lies.
Because of different environments, each piece of jade is different or similar, but there are absolutely no two identical pieces of jade in this world.
Yang Qingyuan has read a lot of books in the Hanlin Academy and has a good understanding of jade. From his perspective, the rib part of this folding fan and the white jade fan pendant given to Mengxue by "Li Shou" are clearly from the same piece of jade.
!
"My young master, this folding fan is very elegant! The white jade fan bones are quite impressive!"
When Feng Qian heard Yang Qingyuan's compliment, he couldn't help but smile.
"Does Mr. Yang think so too?!"
"Of course!"
Feng Qian was overjoyed, "Heroes really think alike!"
Yang Qingyuan casually gave Feng Qian a few perfunctory words. He was thinking about how to temporarily borrow the fan from Feng Qian.
At this moment, Feng Qian said hesitantly,
"I'm not satisfied with the original folding fan. I just asked a craftsman to make a new one. I wanted to ask a calligraphy master from Beijing to inscribe it, but I happened to meet Mr. Yang! I wonder if Mr. Yang would be kind enough to inscribe a fan for me?
!”
Feng Qian looked cautious when he spoke, but his eyes were full of hope.
Yang Qingyuan: "..."
I was still thinking about how to deceive fans, but you brought it to my door yourself. Doesn’t this seem like my previous thinking and planning were stupid?!
"What?! Isn't it inconvenient, Mr. Yang?!"
How could Yang Qingyuan let go of the opportunity presented to him!?
"It's nothing inconvenient! I'm good at writing inscriptions for acquaintances, and I hit it off with my young master today! So I brought a fan for him, and I asked him not to dislike it!"
Feng Qian obviously didn't expect that Yang Qingyuan would agree so readily, "I don't dislike it, I don't dislike it! Then it's a deal!"
After saying that, for fear that Yang Qingyuan would regret it, he thrust the folding fan into Yang Qingyuan's hand, turned around and ran away with his slave.
"Master Yang, I want to go back and calculate the amount of compensation, so I'll go ahead! Just let me know when Master Yang has picked up the fan!"
Then he walked away with a group of servants.
Yang Qingyuan was left there, at a loss.
"?......?"
But since Feng Qian took the initiative to deliver the fan to his door, how could Yang Qingyuan refuse to accept it?!
Yang Qingyuan put on his whale skin gloves, put away the folding fan, and put it into an evidence bag.
Then, he walked to the side of the policeman and praised, "You are able to fulfill your duties and stick to your principles in the face of such a powerful man as the Duke of Ying. That's good!"
The leader of the police suddenly stood at attention with his legs together, "A man of faith remains determined despite hardships; a man of courage is not afraid of power, even in death. This is the teaching left by the dean at that time, students dare not forget it!"
This person's name is Zhao Zheng! Yang Qingyuan has the impression that he is a student of the first batch of the Criminal Law College of Dali Temple, the Detective Department! Two years after graduation, he was promoted to the patrol commander of Dali Temple. He has two red stripes, one long and one short, tattooed on his sleeves.
!
A very outstanding young man!
Yang Qingyuan patted Zhao Zheng on the shoulder!
“Put what you have learned into practice and you will have a promising future!”
After a few words of encouragement to the field staff of Dali Temple, Yang Qingyuan led the people back to the post.
At this time, Di Zhiyuan and Song Huifu were sorting out the case in the hotel.
"Sir, the matter was resolved so quickly?!"
Although Yang Qingyuan has always been very efficient, this is a little too fast.
"Don't be busy yet! Go get the evidence bag containing the white jade fan pendant!"
Di Zhiyuan didn't ask any further questions. He stood up and took the evidence bag from the evidence box on the side, then put on his whale skin gloves.
Yang Qingyuan also put on whale skin gloves and took out a white jade-bone folding fan from the black evidence bag in his sleeve.
The moment they saw Yang Qingyuan take out the folding fan, both Di Zhiyuan and Song Huifu knew what Yang Qingyuan meant.
"Sir, what you mean is that the token of love given by 'Li Shou' to the deceased - the fan pendant, is from this folding fan!"
After Di Zhiyuan finished speaking, Song Hui's father also asked, "Where did you get this folding fan, sir?!"
Yang Qingyuan said helplessly, "Someone else forced it on me?!"
"I really didn't expect it! It turned out to be... hmm?! It was forced...?!" Di Zhiyuan's eyes widened, this thing was forced?! Who would force the evidence to come in!?
Song Hui's father on the side was also in disbelief.
How could such an important piece of evidence be stuffed away casually!?
Yang Qingyuan smiled helplessly. If he hadn't taken the fan with his own hands, he wouldn't have believed it!
"Let's put aside the origin of this fan and look at the material of this fan!"
Yang Qingyuan pointed to the fan bone and said, "The material of this fan bone and this white jade fan pendant are definitely made of the same material!"
Although Di Zhiyuan and Song Huifu were not as well-read as Yang Qingyuan, they had observed the details and noticed that there was something wrong with the material of the fan bone.
"Such mutton-fat white jade is rare in the world! The owner of this fan must be either rich or noble!"
Di Zhiyuan looked at Bai Yu who was fanning his bones and said.
"That's right, this is the folding fan of Feng Qian, the young prince of the Duke of Ying. You don't believe me, but just when I was trying to find an excuse to borrow this fan from him, he had to force it on me.
I'll write a fan for him!"
"..."
"..."
"Is it really such a coincidence?!" Song Huifu frowned. Feng Qian is one of the major shareholders of Wanli Gambling House. If this fan pendant is also owned by Feng Qian, then everything can be connected!
Di Zhiyuan on the side asked uncertainly, "Sir, do you think this is Feng Qian taking advantage of our psychology?!"
"What do you say?!" Yang Qingyuan asked Di Zhiyuan to express his opinion.
"The murderer has always been ruthless and unusual, but Feng Qian's behavior is very different from the previous murderer's behavior. This is nothing more than two possibilities. First, Feng Qian is just a target framed by the murderer."
"What about second?!"
"Second, this Feng Qian deliberately showed weakness in front of adults and said that he had no scheming intentions, so as to mislead us and make us think that he is not the real murderer!!"
Yang Qingyuan was speechless, why not play the psychological game of Thousand Layer Cake?!
