Song Chengxuan walked into the Yamen, and officials from the Dali Temple of the Metropolitan Procuratorate arrived one after another. The clerk distributed the documents related to this case to all the adults.
Song Chengxuan was just summoned to cooperate in handling the case, so he went to the small room next to him to wait.
Another clerk brought a bowl of tea and said to Song Chengxuan: "Sit down and relax. If the adults in front of you send an order, someone will come to invite you over."
Song Chengxuan nodded, and vaguely heard voices coming from outside. The Sanfa Division began to discuss the case.
Now we are just understanding the case and making simple inferences. Although Huang Qinghe has sorted out the testimonials and evidence in the case, in order to prevent errors and omissions, you can raise questions at any time.
"Those thieves who stole people's property on the Bishui River were the first to find the body."
"Exactly."
"Who caught those little thieves? Mr. Anyi Hou Shizi?"
"Why did he just meet me?"
"The Tan family will live in the Anyi Marquis Mansion after coming to Beijing, right?"
Song Chengxuan heard that the speaker was Xu Changrong, the Minister of Criminal Affairs. This man had been sitting in a chair yesterday, listening to Huang Qinghe explain the case. Apart from greeting the adults, he said nothing else.
Xu Changrong seemed calm, but his eyes were erratic. Such people usually have to take orders and be driven by others. They don't dare to make any decisions themselves, so yesterday they just came to explore other people's background. I guess last night
I have already reported it to the Zhang family, and today I found the key point to question.
Huang Qinghe's voice came: "Prince Anyi happened to go on a flower boat ride, so he met those little thieves."
Xu Changrong continued: "This is a coincidence, so is it also a coincidence in Baiyun Temple?"
Huang Qinghe continued: "Before this, Tan Guangyao was pretended to be stabbed by Tan Guangwen. The Anyi Marquis Mansion was afraid that Tan Guangwen would kill Sun Ding, so he protected him secretly. He also wanted to help the government solve the case as soon as possible."
"Listen," Xu Changrong said, "The people from the Anyi Marquis Mansion have become experts in solving cases. They actually discovered that the murderer was planning to kill people earlier than the government officials."
Xu Changrong gently straightened the collar of his official uniform and squinted at everyone. If anyone spoke for the Anyi Houfu, he would immediately refute him. This was what Mr. Zhang had told him.
One of the censors from the Metropolitan Procuratorate said: "Why do you insist on holding on to these things, Mr. Xu? We should check the prisoner's confession and find the mastermind of this case."
"The mastermind?" Xu Changrong said coldly, "What if there are problems with the case from the beginning? You are not afraid of wrongly accusing a good person. I think this case has been led by the nose from the beginning."
After Xu Changrong finished speaking, he went to see Huang Qinghe: "I read what An Zongli wrote that it was the Anyihou Mansion who found Tan Guangwen in Dongshan. The Anyihou Mansion sent a message to Shuntian Mansion, claiming to have discovered Tan Guangwen's whereabouts.
Anyi Marquis Mansion can find anyone that no one else can find?"
Huang Qinghe pursed his dry lips: "Because Mrs. Tan and Tan Guangyao are recuperating in the Anyihou Mansion, it is not an exaggeration to say that Miss Anyihou discovered something fishy."
"Yes, this is the biggest problem," Xu Changrong stared at Huang Qinghe, "Master Huang has been working on the case for so long, does he think he is inferior to a female family member?
I heard about the Fengxiang case. Miss Xu was also involved in it. How could a woman who has not been a member of the cabinet and has not learned all the three obediences and four virtues be able to investigate the case? I am afraid she was instructed to do this and should not have anything to do with this case.
People are now involved, and the Xu family is involved in every step of the investigation of this case. This is the biggest problem."
Xu Changrong's voice was sonorous and powerful. What he was facing was Miss Xu. What could a weak woman do? She wasn't just allowed to be manipulated. As long as he found a mistake, she would never see anyone again.
Xu Changrong was about to smile easily when he heard a moderate voice saying: "Master Li was overly worried before. I also felt that what the adults said made sense. The case may have been investigated wrongly from the beginning.
It has nothing to do with smuggling. Otherwise, according to what is written in the Sun family's accounts, if so much saltpeter is transported, something big might happen.
I have been very anxious these past two days, fearing that my lack of thorough thinking would lead to a big disaster and that I would not be able to explain it to the court. Now I am relieved, and it seems that I don’t have to worry anymore."
This tone was very cold, and it was said in one breath. There was a certain certainty in it that was difficult to refute, as if a conclusion had been made.
It sounded like he was flattering Xu Changrong, but Xu Changrong couldn't help but feel a little frightened. Would anything serious happen if he smuggled saltpeter? Or would it cause a catastrophe that he couldn't explain to the court?
In front of everyone, he couldn't say that the case had nothing to do with smuggling. If something happened, the court would really punish him.
Who spoke? Did Hong Chuanting name the Quanzhou envoy who assisted in the investigation of the case?
Xu Changrong couldn't help but think of the difficult Xue Chen. Fortunately, the recruiter was only a minor official, so Xue Chen probably wouldn't go into a big fight.
"There are no rules," Xu Changrong shouted coldly, "Who is talking there...come forward."
There are two people in the small room next to it.
One is Song Chengxuan who is sitting and drinking tea, and the other is Li Xu who just opened the door and walked in.
Before Li Xu could stand firm, Song Chengxuan's voice came from the front. Song Chengxuan took a sip of tea, but before putting down the cup or raising his head to look at him, he said: "Master Li, he was too worried before..."
After saying this, Song Chengxuan raised his head and looked at Li Xu calmly.
When their eyes met, Song Chengxuan's eyes were filled with indifference, which was in sharp contrast to the warm and smiling Li Xu.
It's as if one is standing in the sun and the other is in the darkness.
One is gentle and kind, the other is aggressive.
It wasn't until Xu Changrong summoned him that Song Chengxuan put down the cup in his hand and stood up: "Master Li, let's go together!"
In such a scene, Li Xu couldn't help but refuse, so Song Chengxuan walked out of the house first.
Both of them are young heroes. Li Xu stepped forward and saluted in a neither humble nor overbearing manner. Song Chengxuan was also polite and considerate, but he had some hard-to-conceal spirit.
Xu Changrong looked at Song Chengxuan and felt that his eyes were so deep that it was hard to tell what he was thinking: "What did you just say?"
Song Chengxuan looked at Li Xu: "The first person to mention smuggling was Mr. Li, and it was because of this official that he stayed in the capital. If this case has nothing to do with smuggling, I would really feel at ease."
When Song Chengxuan said this, the Censor of the Metropolitan Procuratorate looked at Xu Changrong: "Master Xu, you think this case has nothing to do with smuggling?"
Xu Changrong said coldly: "Who said it has nothing to do with smuggling?"
Huang Qinghe raised his head: "Didn't your Excellency say... maybe there was something wrong with this case from the beginning, and we can't continue to investigate like this? As for the smuggling... should we still investigate..."
When questioned like this, Xu Changrong became hesitant.
Song Chengxuan smiled slightly in his heart. A person who listens to others will naturally have no idea. That's why he wants to pursue victory.
"Your Excellency can recognize this thing."
Song Chengxuan took out a piece of paper from his sleeve and placed it in front of everyone.
Xu Changrong only saw a black muzzle pointing at him.
