Chapter 190: Falling into a trap? What kind of trouble is this?
Not long after arriving outside the county, Bai Yanguan, the young minister of Dali Temple, came over.
This time he inspected Gao'an County according to order, mainly checking whether there was anything in Gao'an County that did not match the description.
There was no need for this in the past, but after the locust attack, His Majesty Li Shimin personally ordered that we must pay attention to the construction of each county and build pools in various places, so this happened.
Seeing the carriage in front of him, Liu Youwei immediately took a step forward, while Bai Jingde followed him a little behind.
At the same time, the carriage in front stopped.
Then the guard's voice came over, "Who's blocking the way?"
"Excuse me, is the person in the carriage Bai Yanguan Bai Shaoqing? The lower official is Liu Youwei, the magistrate of Gao'an County. I heard that Bai Shaoqing came to Gao'an County, so I am waiting here."
Gao'an County is currently under the jurisdiction of the county magistrate Liu Youwei. When they saw Liu Youwei, they greeted him respectfully, so all the officials in Gao'an County also responded with courtesy and saluted the carriage in front of them.
"Master Shaoqing, what should we do?" asked the guard on the other side of the carriage.
Bai Yanguan inside thought for a while and replied: "It's great to have friends from far away. Since County Magistrate Liu and others have this intention and know who we are, how can we deceive ourselves and continue to hide in the carriage?
Are you hiding your identity and pretending not to see it?"
"Follow me to see Magistrate Liu, don't let our Dali Temple lose its reputation."
After saying that, Bai Yanguan stood up from the carriage, clapped his sleeves with both hands, and got out of the carriage.
When they got off the carriage, they saw some people standing in front of the carriage. When Bai Yanguan came out, they quickly bowed to him.
"I have met Mr. Shaoqing, and I have long heard that Mr. Shaoqing has made great achievements in his youth. When I saw him today, I realized that what he said was true."
Bai Yanguan waved his hand slightly, looked at Liu Youwei, smiled, and said: "I have heard long ago that the magistrate of Gao'an County is very capable, first-class in skills, and has great hands and eyes. When I saw him today, I felt that what he said was wrong.
Virtual."
When Liu Youwei heard this, his expression changed slightly.
There was a trace of panic on his chubby face, and he said: "Master Shaoqing, I am very complimentary. Compared with Master Shaoqing, this is what I am..."
As he spoke, he showed his little finger, pointed at the nail of his little finger, and said: "Compared with you, Mr. Shaoqing, that official is incomparable."
Bai Yanguan took a deep look at Liu Youwei. There was no wave in his black eyes, and he stared at Liu Youwei until he retracted his fingers.
The next moment, he couldn't help but look away, and he had a rough idea of Bai Yanguan's character in his mind.
"Ahem." Liu Youwei coughed dryly and said with a smile: "Master Shaoqing, you have worked hard for coming all the way. I have prepared a place for you to wash away the dust."
Hearing this, Bai Yanguan didn't take it seriously. He looked away and said calmly: "Liu County Magistrate, let's not talk about that for now. Since you already know that I am coming, do you know the purpose of my coming?"
"I know, I know." Liu Youwei nodded and said, "For the many major events and cases that Gao'an County has encountered in the past two months, the lower officials have compiled the files and placed them in the county government office."
"Okay, let's go over there! Let's finish things first." After Bai Yanguan said that, he walked back to the carriage.
Only a group of Gao'an County officials were left standing and heaving a sigh of relief.
…………
A few hours later.
Official Bai Yan thoroughly checked the files in the county office, stretched, then picked up the tea on the table and sipped it gently, and couldn't help but smile: "In the past two months, Magistrate Liu, you have managed Gao'an County well."
"Where is it?" Liu Youwei waved his hand and said modestly: "All of this is just a matter of the people supporting themselves. I only played a guiding role in it, and I can't say that I have made any great contributions."
"Not arrogant, not impetuous, not bad, not bad, not bad." Bai Yanguan nodded with satisfaction.
At this moment, an inappropriate voice suddenly sounded.
Bai Yanguan's guards strode in, cupped his hands and said, "I'm reporting to you, Mr. Shaoqing, that someone outside the county government has surrendered."
"Surrender yourself?!"
When Liu Youwei and Bai Yanguan heard this, they were all stunned.
Liu Youwei never expected that someone would cause such a thing at this juncture.
What kind of surrender?
There are only two cases that he has not solved recently, one is the theft case of the richest man in Gao'an County, and the other is the murder case of defense.
Could it be that……
It's these two cases. The murderer in one of them surrendered, but why did he choose this time?
Everyone else was dumbfounded.
Subconsciously, Liu Youwei wiped the sweat from his forehead and secretly looked at Bai Yanguan next to him.
Bai Yanguan frowned and said calmly: "Are you sure someone is surrendering? Isn't it an unreasonable noise?"
The guard nodded and said: "Master Shaoqing, you can't be wrong. I think many people say that the murderer of the theft has finally been caught, saying that the government is too powerful."
"But in fact, they didn't know that the murderer surrendered himself and was not captured by the law enforcement officers of Gao'an County."
"Really, this is strange." Bai Yanguan frowned, then looked at Liu Youwei, and said calmly: "Mr. Liu, can you explain what is going on? I just checked the results of Gao'an County in recent months.
This theft case has not been found in all the files, what is going on?"
After the words fell, Liu Youwei trembled all over.
He didn't dare to look directly at Bai Yanguan because there was something wrong in his heart!!
"Master Shaoqing, I...I..."
"Tell me, what is going on? You lied about the local security situation. I think you, who have been an official for many years, don't know this, right?"
Bai Yanguan's eyes turned completely cold.
During the few hours I spent in the county government office, something happened that was not recorded in the files.
Official Bai Yan didn't believe that this was the only thing Liu Youwei concealed.
"Master Shaoqing, I...I, I, I..."
Liu Youwei's lips trembled, and he immediately knelt down and said, "I'm guilty, I'm guilty! I did hide some things."
Hearing this, Bai Yanguan was slightly startled.
The next moment, he was furious!
This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! "Come on, tell me everything you have hidden!" he said in a loud voice.
"Yes Yes Yes!!"
Liu Youwei nodded quickly, and then told the story of the murder case.
Liu Youwei's own ability is still very powerful.
In the two months since I came to Gao'an County as a county magistrate, I have only defended murder cases, and then the theft case has not yet been solved.
In other aspects, it is really perfect.
After Bai Yanguan heard this, his eyes softened slightly. He had been the Young Minister of Dali Temple for a long time, and he immediately knew that Liu Youwei was a capable person, but he was too particular about perfection.
Of course, whether the matter was as Liu Youwei said or not, he only concealed two things. This matter cannot be decided yet. He will have to continue investigating later.
"So, has the Bianji monk murder case been solved?"
Bai Yanguan continued: "You know, Gao'an County is affiliated with Chang'an City after all. The court attaches great importance to the problems here. If you haven't solved it yet, the court can only send new officials here."
"There are a lot of people staring at this position."
"this……"
After the words fell, Liu Youwei hesitated.
Generally speaking, when judging whether a local official should resign, he would naturally not be so picky and resign just because two matters were not resolved in time.
But this is around Chang'an City, at the feet of the Emperor! In addition, in the court, the five surnames and Qiwang are very dissatisfied with the appointment of a non-aristocratic family member as the county magistrate, so as long as there are loopholes in the governance, they will be like hungry wolves and go crazy.
They fought hard until the county magistrate was replaced by someone they were satisfied with.
Liu Youwei was also aware of this matter, so he quickly wanted to solve the murder case a few days ago. However, in the past three days, there has been no progress in the case.
If he didn't give Bai Yanguan a satisfactory answer today, Liu Youwei would be sure that his black hat would not be saved.
Liu Youwei's thick lips trembled. He had not dared to look directly at Bai Yanguan since the guards came in, and now he also looked at him.
"Is it resolved?" Bai Yanguan asked again.
"Solution... solved." Liu Youwei said tremblingly: "In this case, that monk Bian Ji is the murderer."
"All the evidence at the scene points to Monk Bianji as the murderer."
"Really?" Bai Yanguan raised his eyebrows. How could he not know that Liu Youwei was making a hasty decision?
Despite this, he still planned to sell it to Liu Youwei to save face.
As Qin Wenyuan said, the truth is important, but sometimes, some things are more important than the truth.
Bai Yanguan is not an official of the aristocratic family, and his majesty's recent public confrontation with the aristocratic family has led him to regard the aristocratic family as an imaginary enemy.
If Liu Youwei makes a mistake, his imaginary enemy will be appointed as the magistrate of Gao'an County, and his power to turn towards imperial power will be reduced by one point. This is not what he wants to see.
"If that's the case, then when the time comes, you can compile a file on the murder case and give it to me." Bai Yanguan said with a smile.
Hearing this, Liu Youwei breathed a sigh of relief and showed a smile that was uglier than crying, "I understand, Lord Shaoqing."
"Okay, this case has been solved. I think the family officials who came to Gao'an County with me will not be able to pick on you. Let's go and see the murderer of the theft."
After saying that, Bai Yanguan stood up and walked forward.
Liu Youwei also quickly followed.
On the way, Bai Yanguan said something more, "County Magistrate Liu, are you sure you have nothing else to hide from me? I'm easy to talk to, but if you still hide things and are discovered by the family officials who followed me, you will
It’s very difficult to handle.”
Liu Youwei nodded and said: "Don't worry, Mr. Shaoqing, I have nothing else to hide."
"Really, that's good, let's go." Bai Yanguan smiled and continued to walk forward.
…………
Lobby.
The criminal who committed the theft case was tied up and escorted to the ground.
Changle looked at the man and said in surprise: "Husband, how come there are murderers who throw themselves into the trap these days? Could it be..."
Changle's eyes suddenly lit up, and she thought of her husband Qin Wenyuan once saying that the murderer of the murder case would eventually fall into the trap himself.
When he thought of this, Changle couldn't help but asked in surprise: "Could it be that he is the real murderer that your husband said? The murderer of the murder case?"
Hearing this, Qin Wenyuan had not yet expressed his position. Gao Yang on the side suddenly couldn't sit still, "Is he the murderer??"
Those eyes looked at the person who was tied up with five flowers, and their expressions were extremely complex.
Perhaps he was happy that the other party had killed his mistress Qiulin to relieve her anger, or perhaps he was resentful that the other party had put the defense agency in jail.
The mood is extremely complicated.
Qin Wenyuan laughed. Ancient times are ancient times. Even Princess Gaoyang, who was said to be a prodigal girl by later generations, still had a loving side no matter how promiscuous she was.
"This person is just a participant."
Qin Wenyuan said calmly.
"Participant??"
Both princesses were shocked.
At the same time, Guan Bai Yan and Liu Youwei walked out from the front. Liu Youwei went to the court, and Guan Bai served as a jury to start the verdict of this murder case.
According to the verdict, the criminal was a servant of Lin Zhai. He was dissatisfied with the monthly salary paid by Lin Zhai, so he wanted to steal.
The time when the theft occurred was exactly one day after he quit his job at Linzhai.
Then, the criminal explained the details of how to commit the crime, all of which matched the unsolved doubts about the theft.
The criminal who came to surrender turned out to be the real murderer!!
After learning about this incident, Mr. Lin Zhai pointed at his servant with trembling fingers and said with hatred: "Xiao Xin, you actually dislike the low monthly salary in our house. You, you, you... if it is low, you will
But let’s put it bluntly, we have been in love for so many years, as a master, shouldn’t I still give you a salary increase??”
"Why end up stealing? Alas..."
After finishing speaking, Mr. Lin Zhai angrily opened his sleeves.
"Master, I..." Xiao Xin was touched and didn't know what to do for a moment.
In Xiao Xin's heart, Lin Zhai's master is indeed a very good person.
Otherwise, when committing the robbery, why would he go to a house he didn't know to steal? Wouldn't it be better to just steal from the Lin house where he could walk with his eyes closed?
It is precisely because Mr. Lin Zhai is kind-hearted that Xiao Xin goes to other places to commit theft.
At this moment, the master and servant staged a scene of deep emotions.
Liu Youwei felt very comfortable. Looking at Xiao Xin's posture, he knew that the case was completely implemented.
I just don’t know why. The county government office clearly didn’t have any clues about the theft case, so why did Xiao Xin suddenly come to surrender? It’s very strange!
Forget it, if you can't figure it out, just don't figure it out.
Liu Youwei laughed and planned to make the final decision immediately.
However, at this moment, Qin Wenyuan patted the back of his wife's hand. The husband and wife were united, and Changle immediately understood what his husband was going to do.
She immediately let go of Qin Wenyuan's hand and let Qin Wenyuan walk out.
"Sir, I found the murderer."
Qin Wenyuan's calm and composed voice suddenly sounded.
Suddenly, all eyes were focused on him.
When Liu Youwei saw that it was Qin Wenyuan, he said angrily: "Master Qin, I know this. I'm about to finalize it. Don't worry, I will handle the theft case well."
"No, no, no." Qin Wenyuan shook his head and smiled: "Sir, what I mean is that the real murderer of the Bianji murder case is in this county government office, and we can arrest him at any time."
