At that time, Tianxin was an impatient person who often quarreled with Liu Hu, so he went out by boat to relax and swam all the way to Jinghu South Road, where he escaped from danger.
When he heard the news and rushed back to Jingzhou, everything was a foregone conclusion. The family named Wu was about to leave. His family was ruined, but the person named Wu was unscathed. He couldn't bear it, so he hid the knife and sneaked in in the middle of the night.
In this family's house, starting from the gatekeeper, they killed all the members of the family, about twenty or so in size.
After the murder, he directly involved the Wu family's money and went to Luocao, Ezhou.
Tianxin thought carefully: "This man's surname is Wu, not Zhou, and no one in his family is surnamed Zhou. I have killed all his family members, and there is no way they can come to me for revenge."
Song Huiyue asked: "Where did the Xixiangyin named Wu come from?"
Tian Xin said: "He bought a real one, and then he used the real one to forge it."
Song Huiyue shook her head: "If it is possible for the tea yin to be fake, it is absolutely impossible for the rhino yin to be fake. No jade grinder would dare to engrave the forbidden palace treasure seal privately."
Tian Xin's expression was a little dazed: "But my father took the lead to the Jinghu North Road Warehouse to check and collect the goods. It was indeed a fake, and he was captured on the spot."
Song Huiyue said: "Is it possible that Cang Si and a family named Wu colluded? The Yinzi was true, but he lied about it. After selling the Yinzi to you, he took it back in this way?"
Tianxin fell silent, staring blankly at the bowl in front of her, confused for a moment.
Tie Zhenshan's mind is similar to Tianxin's, relatively simple, and she immediately said: "It doesn't make sense. What is the purpose of officials conspiring with others?"
Song Huiyue said: "Of course it's for the money."
She turned around and told Du Lan: "You should go back to the palace now and find Xie Bage or Xie Changshi to find out who was the warehouse manager on Jinghu North Road when Liu Hu's accident happened. Also, find out where Zhou Ke was at that time and where he was.
There have been several cases of fake rhinoceros lures like this."
Du Lan quickly stood up: "Yes."
He ran very fast, but it was not possible to find out these things in an instant. Song Huiyue asked everyone to continue eating. Yinxiao picked up the chopsticks and continued to eat and drink, but his body was always on alert to attack at any time.
attitude.
It was obvious that he did not trust or trust these four Jiang bandit leaders.
Tian Xin had no intention of eating anymore. He thought he had taken revenge, but when Song Huiyue said this, it turned out that he had missed his enemy. Not only did he miss it, but he also let his enemy discover him first.
If Song Huiyue hadn't spoken out, he would probably have died without even knowing.
After the meal was finished, Du Lan still hadn't come back. Everyone drank tea and talked about a lot of gossip until nightfall, when Du Lan didn't come back.
He was not the only one who came back, but also Xie Zhou.
Xie Zhou took off his cloak and hung it by the door. He looked around at everyone in the room and finally sat next to Song Huiyue: "Sister Yue, if it hadn't been for Tianxin, none of us would have known that Zhou Ke had done something like this.
."
He told the results without hiding anything.
After Du Lan told Song Huiyue what he wanted to investigate, Xie Zhou immediately went to find his father, Xie Changshi.
First, he took out Zhou Ke's booklet and looked at it carefully.
In the year of Liu Hu's accident, Zhou Ke was appointed as the official of Kongmu under the Salt and Iron Design Bureau of the Third Division. He was in charge of Xun Design, material management, Qi Qian, meal money, sheep, rice and wheat, firewood, pottery and other items, among which rhinoceros
The elephant is also included in the design.
The Xixiang Yinjing is produced internally according to the quantity in the internal treasury of the year, and then distributed to various roads and sold to merchants. The merchants pay huge taxes and circulate in the market.
After the businessman surnamed Wu died at the hands of Tianxin, Zhou Ke switched from salt and iron to Duzhi, and then rose through the ranks, and is now a judge in the Duzhi money and silk case.
Duzhi's deputy envoys all came from the Qian and Silk Cases, and Zhou Ke was highly regarded. If he rose higher, he would be the deputy envoy.
At that time, Qi Pan, the warehouse chief of Jinghu North Road, also left Jinghu North Road and went to the prosperous Guangdong South Road after the death of the businessman surnamed Wu. Unfortunately, he did not have the same luck as Zhou Ke. In this year's tax and bank case, he was dismissed.
After investigation, he died while being escorted back to Beijing.
At that time, there were five cases of false rhinoceros and elephant attacks in pieces, scattered all over the world. If Xie Chuan hadn't been collecting various cases published by the Criminal Division in the Di Di newspaper all year round, it would have been impossible to connect them together.
After the death of the businessman surnamed Wu, there has never been any case of fake rhinoceros and elephants.
"My father and I did the math," Xie Zhou took a sip of tea. "Five cases, one hundred and fifty thousand taels each, a total of seven hundred and fifty thousand taels. It should have been started by Zhou Ke and led to these five cases."
, the businessman surnamed Wu talked with the warehouse secretary. These five places should have been selected by Zhou Ke. They were all greedy people. They hit it off and committed five cases. As for dividing the spoils, Zhou Ke should have taken the majority. Otherwise,
He didn't have the money to move up the ladder and get promoted step by step. If Tianxin hadn't killed the businessman named Wu in anger, their deal might not have ended so quickly."
His reasoning was reasonable and reasonable, and he couldn't find any mistakes or omissions. The four Jiang thieves looked at each other, not expecting that the officials could be worse than the thieves they were.
Moreover, he killed entire families and took away people's money without any bloodshed.
After it was over, no blood stained their bodies, everyone was able to escape completely, and the rhinoceros and elephants were able to return their belongings to their original places without disturbing anyone.
After a long while, Tie Zhenshan sighed: "As expected of a scholar who can gain fame and fame, he is so smart. If it were me, even if I tried my best, I wouldn't be able to think of such a way to make money."
Baiyu said: "Otherwise it is said that all the smart people are in the court, and the fools can only be thieves. Old boy, what is your expression?"
Tong Peng's expression was even more sad than Tian Xin's. He whispered: "I regret it so much. I shouldn't have boarded this big pirate ship. I'm afraid."
If you get on King Jin's ship and fight in the court, you may die without knowing why.
It's better to be a river thief and die in peace.
Tie Zhenshan sneered: "Have you forgotten how we got on the boat?"
Their skills were inferior to others, and they were so frightened that they were captured by King Jin in Tanzhou. Not only did King Jin pull them onto the boat, but even if King Jin dragged them to hell together, they did not dare to say a word.
Tie Zhenshan looked at Xie Zhou: "What to do next? I think it's the toothless one..."
She couldn't remember Chen Zhigang's name at the moment: "The one who used to be a high official but later went to paint, threw this man named Zhou into Wuyou Cave and pulled out his teeth."
Tianxin shook his head: "No, I will go to his house tonight and kill him."
"You go ahead," Tie Zhenshan laughed. "When the Imperial Army leaves, I will collect the corpse for you."
Although she only had one or two encounters with the Imperial Guards, their ruthlessness and keenness left a shadow on her, and she did not dare to be presumptuous even when she was messing around in Kyoto.
Xie Zhou looked at Song Huiyue: "Sister Yue, my father said to listen to you, but I have a way, which is to find the orphans from the other four families and bring them to Kyoto to beat drums to redress the injustice and turn the case over.
