Chapter 192 Meeting Officers and Soldiers at Night
In Linhua County in April, the weather is getting warmer, but there is still a hint of chill.
Especially in the early morning and evening, the temperature is very low and the cool breeze blows. Even strong men cannot guarantee that they will not catch a cold. However, at noon, the temperature will rise again. Such repeated temperature differences will lead to the recent fever.
There are many patients.
In Dr. Zhao's medical clinic, several patients had arrived at this time. Their pulses were being checked and they were waiting to receive medicine after diagnosis.
"Something happened. The Ye's Bookstore was surrounded by businessmen. I'm afraid someone is dead inside!" About halfway before the incense stick, a regular customer ran in and said to Doctor Zhao.
Judging from the meaning, it seems that he wants to get some inside information from Mr. Zhao.
Doctor Zhao felt that there was something fishy about this matter and smiled disdainfully: "I just came back from there. Although Boss Ye is seriously ill, he is only seriously ill and is dying. He will not die for a while. Even if he does die, it will be a normal death. How can he attract tolerance?"
"Perhaps someone else died there," the man said.
Doctor Zhao didn't believe it at all. Boss Ye never had any grudges with others and had a very good temper. In addition, Su Ziji and Ye Buhui were also back. What could happen now?
But when I walked out of the hospital and looked around from a distance, I saw a circle of office workers surrounding the building, and heard people shouting inside.
Doctor Zhao was surprised that he knew people but not their hearts. Su Ziji, a scholar, actually killed someone. When he found out that Su Ziji did not seem to be arrested, he became suspicious.
Although he didn't dare to get close, he couldn't help but look around and saw several other people talking to Su Ziji. A man looked majestic and had official authority.
"What on earth is going on?" Even the neighbors who gossiped about the matter were puzzled when they saw this scene.
The Su and Ye families were not far away. When they saw Su Zi had entered the Su residence and came out, many people quickly dispersed. Only Mr. Zhao remained standing and asked, "Did something happen to Boss Ye?"
Su Ziji lowered his eyes and sighed: "Uncle Ye was killed by a thief. I am going to the coffin shop to buy a coffin to bury him."
"Scared! Is this possible?" Zhao Langzhong thought of the servants who had just surrounded him. He immediately believed this and sighed: "This thief is really hateful! Has he been caught?"
I felt bad in my heart, the neighbors were really talking nonsense, it was obviously the thieves who killed me, and they even said it was Su Ziji who killed me, but luckily I didn't believe it.
"The thief has been killed," Su Ziji said simply.
Doctor Zhao immediately thought that an official had gone in to kill the thief, and he was greatly relieved. If the thief was not caught, he would have to close the door in advance to avoid being caught by thieves as well.
"If you need help, call me at any time." Knowing that manpower is needed for funeral arrangements, Zhao Langzhong said immediately. Su Ziji quickly thanked him and accepted the favor before continuing to go to the coffin shop.
"Little Marquis, since the bloodline has been confirmed, why don't you recognize it?" Gao Yaochen asked in confusion as he saw Su Ziji walking away to the coffin shop.
"Because this is related to the bloodline of the prince and the inheritance of the country!" Fang Zhen looked away and sighed heavily: "When I was ordered to leave, my father told me that I should handle the errands seriously, be cautious, and be more cautious.
.”
Fang Zhen's expression became a little melancholy, he stood up, looked at his hands behind his back, and said: "It's raining again outside... Seriously, even if it is really the blood of the prince, his surname is Su or Ji now, let me ask
You and I are a foreign minister, can you recognize your relatives on behalf of the emperor?"
"Whether you recognize him or not, how you recognize him, or whether you want to return to your original surname is not something we foreign ministers can say more than a word about."
Gao Yaochen was immediately horrified. He sighed for a long time and said, "Young Master, you think of me as your confidant and that's why you said this to me. I thought it was wrong."
"That's the big thing, but there's also the small thing!" Fang Zhen took a breath and said slowly: "The small thing is, this bloodline is a little too thin."
"Little Marquis, is there something wrong with this bloodline?" Gao Yaochen was really suffocated. If he did this wrong, his family would be confiscated and his family would be exterminated.
"It's true, but it's too thin." Fang Zhen continued. Seeing that he was still confused, he sighed. This man was knowledgeable, but he was too knowledgeable: "You should know the legal principles of bloodline identification?"
"Xiaguan once entered the Imperial Academy and served as a valet for several months. He does know."
"Most of the emperors and nobles are inherited by their ancestors by destiny. They are hereditary. Wealth and honor are passed down through the bloodline, so they can be identified."
"Although officials and gentry are also rich and noble, their rise and fall depends on the individual and cannot be inherited, so it cannot be identified by this method."
Fang Zhen nodded. To put it bluntly, it is hereditary and can be checked. However, for ordinary officials, even if they reach the prime minister's position, the next generation may not be an official and cannot be passed down.
"So, this person must have the bloodline of the clan, but it is too thin. The prince's bloodline should not be so little." The golden color is normal. Even if it is the prince himself, he does not have a title. Just this fineness, if it were a few generations later, it would be
There are only red lines - the so-called yellow belt and red belt.
Only then did Gao Yaochen understand what Fang Zhen meant, and he said seriously: "Little Marquis, I don't think this is wrong. Even if it is the blood of the prince, the prince was framed and committed suicide behind closed doors. Although there was no explicit decree to depose the prince.
The bit number is actually broken."
"Now the prince's bloodline is just a member of the clan, or even worse."
"It's normal to be rarer."
Fang Zhen went to the window to breathe in the crisp air and said, "So, I don't dare to be suspicious. I can only report the situation and wait for the decision from the higher authorities."
"Oh, the young Marquis is really wise!" Gao Yaochen woke up from a dream and took a look in admiration. The credit may be small, but the most important thing is safety. As expected, the inheritance of the Marquis Mansion is not simple.
"Let the county government inspect the scene. This is an incidental case, and it must be handled cleanly without any mistakes." Fang Zhenrong said: "Tell them to hurry up. Chief Su will definitely come to collect money."
The body cannot be delayed and neglected."
"Now, Chief Su is more than just a scholar."
It had only been 30 years since the founding of Dazheng, and Taizu's descendants were not many. Even if they were not recognized as being of the prince's bloodline, the clan alone could not neglect them.
"Yes!" Gao Yaochen responded immediately. He was a sixth-grade official, and it was natural for him to order inspections and arrests. He gave orders immediately, and the whole scene became busy.
Gao Yaochen said to the inspector again: "Mr. Ji, you go and follow the head of the case, Su. There may be some thieves who have not been eliminated. We must ensure safety."
"Also, if you are harmed by thieves in broad daylight, the government is also responsible. If you have any expenses, you can help bear them."
Seeing the inspector's open mouth, knowing that this was nonsense and that there were no such rules, Gao Yaochen said: "You go ahead and I will reimburse all expenses."
"Yes, I'll go now." Ji Min closed his mouth and responded immediately. He was only a ninth-grade official and couldn't know the inside story, but he immediately realized something was wrong.
This Su case is not simple!
At that moment, Ji Min called out to two people and quickly followed them.
