Han Qing couldn't catch up, and he wasn't familiar enough with the streets of Chang'an City, so he had to give up.
When he turned around and came back, he tried to treat Bai Ze's wound, but found that the latter had already slipped away quietly under the protection of the party's flying dragon envoy, leaving only the huge peony boat and the white-faced orioles and swallows all over the boat.
.
The female shopkeeper of Mudanfang knew that her greed for money had gotten her into big trouble. Before Han Qing could ask questions, she knelt on the ground, crying bitterly, and recounted her dealings with Bai Ze.
It turned out that due to the government's investigation into the backlog of cases over the years, the life of various boat owners on Qujiang Lake has been worse than before in the past two months. Suddenly someone was willing to pay five times the price to charter a boat. No matter how weird the request was, the female shopkeeper was not happy to agree.
.
As a result, the cooks, waiters, boatmen, and helpers on the Peony Boat were all replaced by women. In the entire Peony Boat, there was not a single extra male on board tonight.
As for the woman surnamed Bai who paid for the treat, and who the guest was tonight, before Judge Han arrived, the female shopkeeper didn't know anything about Ye Qinglian who appeared later, and the middle-aged tough man holding a broad-bladed scimitar.
The female shopkeeper knows this very clearly.
"Judge, it's unjust. The civilian woman is really unjust. Ye Qinglian is the top four leader of Lianhuafang, and Yu Bailian is Lianhuafang's disciple. The civilian women were often bullied by them in the past. More than two months ago, I saw Lianhuafang being raped.
The government copied it, and the women clapped their hands and applauded. That night, they and several other boat owners gave a 30% discount to the drinkers who boarded the boat. Judge, if you don’t believe it, you can summon the nearby Lihua Boat, Baiyun Boat and Jade Boat.
Shopkeeper——" Why did the female shopkeeper prove that she is not in the same group with the Red Lotus Sect? The female shopkeeper burst into tears and told everything about the grievances and grievances within the industry.
The Lotus Boat is the leading brothel in Chang'an City, and the Lotus Boat is specially set up by the Lotus Boat to entertain distinguished guests. The business is far more prosperous than other painting boats, and those who are qualified to board the boat are also the leading figures in Chang'an City.
Therefore, the people of Lianhuafang usually act in a domineering manner. However, Lianhuafang was implicated in the Red Lotus Rebellion case and was confiscated by the government. Instead of being sad, all the other painting houses felt proud and proud.
As for whether Ye Qinglian and Yu Bolian were on the boat when the Lotus Boat was raided, how did they slip through the crackdown later? How did they learn that Han Qing came to the Peony Boat for a banquet tonight and organized an assassination, so he was not the owner of the Peony Boat.
I can explain it clearly.
Anyway, to sum up, there are only two sentences: First, people who travel together are enemies. Second, Peony Fang and Lotus Fang are not familiar with each other, and the assassination tonight has nothing to do with Peony Fang.
Han Qing didn't have the habit of venting his anger on weak people, so he asked some roundabout questions and found that the female shopkeeper of Peony Fang was indeed not familiar with Ye Qinglian and others, and that the female shopkeeper was not the real owner of Peony Boat, so she gave up angrily.
However, before he could get up and leave, Zhe Weizhong had already arrived in a hurry with a group of soldiers from the North Courtyard of Kaifeng Prefecture. Following closely, soldiers from the left and right army patrol divisions of Jingzhao Prefecture also heard the news under the leadership of Li Yixian.
And arrived.
According to the rules, both Zhe Weizhong and Li Yixian have jurisdiction over the assassination case. As the "sufferer" of the assassination, Han Qingshao had to go through the motions to explain tonight's assassination, how to repel the assassin, and the situation of all parties involved in the case.
, describe it truthfully to the two of them.
After finally finishing the scene, he remounted his horse and returned to the Yamen of the Punishment Division. Before he could sit down and catch his breath, Kou Zhun, the political counselor, had already arrived at the door.
Affected by the dual influence of his previous life and this life, Han Qing instinctively wanted to stay away from anyone with the four words "eternal fame".
However, Kou Zhun was his immediate superior after all, and he came to offer condolences. He could not refuse the other party on the grounds of exhaustion. Therefore, he could only brace himself to greet him, and then invite him to sit down and drink tea.
To be fair, Kou Zhun actually treated Han Qing quite well. He understood his hard work today and just briefly understood what happened, then said a few words of comfort before getting up and leaving.
Moreover, before leaving, he also took the initiative to reveal to Han Qing that in view of his hard work in the past period and the effect after the gunpowder arrows, ballistas and other sharp weapons were distributed to the army, the imperial court planned to reward him again.
"Thank you to Prime Minister Kou for your support. I will live up to Prime Minister Kou's expectations in the future!" As a man of two generations, even if he feels alienated from Kou Zhun in his heart, Han Qing will still do it superficially. He quickly bowed down and bowed as a gift.
.
"Your talent and your work are all top-notch. You stand out from the crowd sooner or later. It has nothing to do with whether I support you or not!" Kou Zhun smiled and stepped aside. Then he raised his hand and patted Han Qing hard.
"The official's heart has high expectations for you now."
After a pause, he continued to walk out while continuing to add, "My home in Bianliang City is not far from your home. If you encounter any problems in the future, whether it is public or private, you can come to me for consultation. Although I
He may not be smarter than you, but he has experienced more things after all."
"Thank you, Prime Minister Kou. I'm looking forward to the opportunity to come and ask for advice!" After hearing this, Han Qing saluted solemnly again.
Kou Zhun's principle is not to talk nonsense when talking to smart people. He smiled, got in the carriage and left.
And Han Qing was indeed as smart as he expected. After seeing him off, he returned to the study, not feeling sleepy at all.
Kou Zhun is about to return to Bianliang, and the imperial court's reward for him should not be a simple promotion of half a rank, or one rank, but a transfer back to Bianliang and another appointment.
The news came suddenly, catching Han Qing completely off guard.
Although he and Han Jiajun, a passionate young man, have completely become one, he is still not sure and does not know how to deal with his relatives who are far away in Bianliang.
In addition, if Kou Zhun and him left the Yongxing Army Road one after another, wouldn't the pursuit of the Red Lotus Sect be fruitless?
As long as the Red Lotus Sect does not continue to openly rebel, how can the newly arrived Judge Ti and Ti Dian, who are responsible for the criminal and prison affairs, be willing to continue to deal with the mess left by their predecessors?
And based on the degree of penetration of the Red Lotus Sect into the government offices at all levels of Yongxing Military Road, as long as they are not continued to be chased and beaten, it should not take long for them to revive.
It is even said that he will be reborn from the ashes.
However, this time, the Red Lotus Church is hiding deeper, its methods are more subtle, and it may strike him with a fatal blow at any time when he is not prepared!
It takes a thousand days to catch a thief, but there is no such thing as a thousand days to prevent a thief. Han Qing understood this clearly in his previous life.
The problem is that if we continue to sort out the backlog of official cases on Yongxing Military Road in the original way, although it will force the "thieves" to keep jumping out on their own, it will take a long enough time.
And now doing the math, Han Qing knew that the total time he had would probably not exceed two months.
Bianliang is not too far from Chang'an, and there are very neat official roads connecting each other. The round trip of imperial edicts and official documents will not take more than ten days even at the slowest speed.
Once he received an imperial edict from the imperial court to transfer him to Bianliang and entrust him with another important task, even if he cheated and showed off his posture without saying anything, he could only delay it for a month at most.
What's more, only great sages like Kou Zhun and Wang Anshi are qualified to play this elegant game of "Three Cis". He, a junior judge of the sixth grade, has no chance to play it.
Moreover, from the day he received the first imperial edict, theoretically, he was no longer a sentencing judge and was not qualified to continue investigating the Yongxing Military Road case!
"This Kou Laoxi'er is really bad." Thinking of the tight time, Han Qing couldn't help but scratch her head, "He didn't come to comfort me, he was clearly trying another way to urge me to work faster!"
The problem is, he can guess what Kou Laoxi is thinking. How can the case related to the Red Lotus Sect be handled so quickly?
If he disappoints Kou Laoxi'er, Han Qing thinks he doesn't care about being an official of the Song Dynasty. But being thought about by the prime minister all day long will also make him feel dizzy just thinking about it.
What's more, even if Kou Lao Xi'er himself doesn't cause trouble for him, the Red Lotus Sect's revenge on him will not stop for one day.
"Judge, let's have some midnight snack. My sister Dou and I made it tonight." As he was circling back and forth in the study room worriedly, Xu Ziling's voice suddenly rang in his ears.
Immediately afterwards, the faint scent of medicine and food penetrated his nostrils.
"You, you can already walk around?" Han Qing was surprised and happy. She stopped and asked softly. "Where is Rongwa, has she fallen asleep?"
"Sister Dou's sister waited until she was ugly and fell asleep sitting on the chair. Nunu didn't dare to wake her up." Xu Ziling thought for a while and responded cautiously, "Nunu's injury is no longer a problem. Thank you judge, a while ago
Pull Nunu back from the gate of hell."
"Don't call yourself a slave." Han Qing felt awkward all over her body. After thinking about it, she shook her head slightly, "Don't move around in a hurry. You have lost too much blood and it will not be easy to recover. Once you sit down and the root of the disease is gone, but
big trouble."
"If you don't call yourself a slave, then according to the judge's rules, how can Nunu call herself a slave in the future?" Xu Ziling raised her head and glanced at him, deliberately asking softly, "Nunu is fine. Nunu's body is bleeding with the blood transfused by the judge.
If you can't do something for the judge, you won't have peace of mind."
"Call me, or just call me by your own name. As for doing things, don't worry, you have to fully heal your body first!" Han Qing sighed, raised his hand and gently rubbed his temples.
Xu Ziling is four or five years older than Dou Rong. However, she calls her Sister Dou Rong.
Dou Rong probably also accepted this title by default, and worked with her to make a late-night snack for herself.
Based on this calculation, I'm afraid it's no longer my turn to make decisions on some things. The two sisters have reached an agreement privately and arranged their seats.
"Judge, do you have a headache? Nunu, Ziling is here to help you press it. Although Ziling has never learned it, she has seen others do it before." Xu Ziling was actually full of anxiety. Seeing Han Qing's movements, she immediately stood up on tiptoe.
With your toes, reach your fingers towards the sides of his head.
However, there was a big gap between her height and Han Qing's. Although she could touch Han Qing's temples, her whole body seemed to be throwing herself into his arms.
"I'd better sit down first, and you can press it for me later!" Although he had a lot of experience in his previous life, Han Qing didn't dare to be too frivolous with the people he was really close to. He sighed again and whispered. "It just so happens that I have something to do.
, I also need to know from you."
"Yeah!" Xu Ziling only asked Han Qing not to drive her away, how could she dare to ask for more? She agreed in a low voice, blushed, and walked behind the chair.
Han Qing was indeed tired, so she simply sat down with her eyes closed and let Xu Ziling massage him. Not long after enjoying it, he smelled a familiar medicinal fragrance again.
"It's the golden sore medicine in the military. This medicine is too strong. Your wound is on your neck. I'm afraid it will leave a big scar if you use it." He frowned slightly and asked in a low voice.
The healing drugs in the Zhenrong Army of the Song Dynasty were very effective in healing wounds. However, they would leave very ugly scars on the surface of the wounds.
He remembered that he had ordered his doctor yesterday to change Xu Ziling's prescription to a softer one, but he didn't know why his order had not been carried out by tonight.
"It's Nunu. Zi Ling asked the doctor not to change it!" Xu Ziling stopped massaging and explained in a low voice, "Zi Ling wants to get better quickly and doesn't care about leaving scars. In this way, Zi Ling can help the judge earlier.
Catch all those people. And if in the future, if in the future..."
She raised her hand to rub her eyes, and her voice became lower, "If you can't stay with the judge in the future, Zi Ling will be safer if she becomes uglier."
She was originally one of the four families of the Lotus Class, and everyone in Chang'an City knew it. And the Lotus Class was the nest of the Red Lotus Sect that had been raided by the government.
Without the protection of a powerful man, she would definitely attract the prying eyes of countless powerful men and scoundrels after she left the Criminal Division. Indeed, the smaller the scar on her neck, the less safe she is.
"If you really want to stay, then stay!" Listening to the more pitiful she said, Han Qing shook her head and responded with a sigh.
"Really?" Xu Ziling was overjoyed, stopped her hand, big tears flowed down her cheeks, and accidentally fell on Han Qing's head.
"You and Rong Wa are already considered sisters, can I still drive you away?" Han Qing raised his hand to wipe his hair and said helplessly, "Okay, I hope you won't regret it in the future!"
"No, Zi Ling won't. I asked for it myself, so I definitely won't!" Xu Ziling's little thought was exposed, but she couldn't care less about the embarrassment. She waved her hands and continued to add, "I, I can do many things.
.I can sing, cook, dance, and run the house. I, I can also help you catch your enemy. That Ye Qinglian is the Green Lotus Saint of the Red Lotus Sect. Her master, Yu Bolian, is the former Saint of the Red Lotus Sect, and is now called
Holy Aunt. Under the Holy Aunt, there are four envoys of wealth, luck, happiness and longevity. Your former immediate boss, the county magistrate Zhang Wei, is the wealth envoy of the Red Lotus Sect!"
