Chapter 188: The Case Is Complicated Part 1 Seeking the Moon
Song Zheng was very impressed at first sight. The woman he had met before was Sister Zhao, a legend in two generations. She had a strong temperament and was as cold as a sword. Pan Feiyi was the jewel of the family, soft on the outside but tough on the inside, knowledgeable and sensible. Miao Yun'er was a little girl with a surprising background.
Lively and charming.
Regardless of their appearance, figure, or temperament, the three women are all chosen at the moment. They are the three jewels left by God in the human world.
But the three women rarely shed tears in front of Song Zheng, and even if they cry, it's not because of him. He doesn't know how to deal with this situation at all, and he is holding a fire in his heart. Instead of feeling pity, he is extremely upset.
He waved his sleeves vigorously and walked out of the prison, leaving the problem to Shi Zhonghe: "Tell her to stop crying, and then come for interrogation."
"Yes." Shi Zhonghe's voice was a little vague, for fear that the adults would hear it. Before the adults got angry, she secretly stuffed a piece of beef jerky into her mouth and hadn't swallowed it yet.
In the end, the adults still heard it and turned to glare at her. Shi Zhonghe felt guilty for a while. But Song Zheng turned around, his mood improved a lot: I always felt that this girl Shi Zhonghe, if she got together with Yun'er, she would be in trouble.
They will definitely become good sisters.
Thinking about it again, it seems that... it is also very possible that the fight started because of the uneven distribution of snacks.
Thinking of Miao Yun'er, he felt much better. During this period, I wonder if Tianhuo issued an imperial edict, or if he issued another secret edict and sent someone to kill him?
Shi Zhonghe was carefree. He took out the beef jerky and handed it to Liu Chengfei. He said carelessly: "Why are you crying? Let me share something delicious with you."
Song Zheng waited for a stick of incense before Liu Chengfei, eyes red, walked in behind Shi Zhonghe.
"Sir, don't cry anymore." Shi Zhonghe said proudly. Sure enough, there was nothing that a bag of beef jerky couldn't solve. If there was, it would be two bags.
Song Zheng nodded, sat still and asked: "I am here for Wang Ji'an's case. Although you have not committed any serious crimes, offending the superior officer is enough to have you dismissed and investigated."
Liu Chengfei curled her lips and wanted to be petty: just investigate and deal with it. But thinking about how hateful this person is, he really has no mercy at all in putting himself in jail. If he really said that, he would probably have to go back to the cell again, and it would be difficult for his brother and the others.
Rescued.
She felt quite aggrieved. Growing up, because of her family background and her outstanding appearance, almost everyone would accommodate her more or less. She was used to being treated preferentially.
Even when she became the magistrate of Liu County because of her pity for the poor people, mediating conflicts between families, the family heads would often do the same.
But facing Song Zheng, none of these preferential treatment were available.
She was cautious, like a little white fox afraid of falling into a hunter's trap: "Sir...what do you want to know?"
"What is there about Wang Ji'an's case that is not reflected in the files?"
Speaking of this case, Liu Chengfei seemed to have regained some confidence. She smiled coldly and said: "Too many."
Song Zheng raised his eyebrows: "Say."
"What do you think is the biggest doubt in this case? In my opinion... in my opinion, the biggest doubt is not the death of Wang Ji'an, but the old god that Wang Ji'an met. Almost the entire Wang family knows about the old god.
He exists, but almost no one has seen him.
Even if some people recall that they have seen this old immortal before, they cannot remember what he looks like. They only have the impression that this old immortal is powerful and omnipotent."
Song Zheng nodded. He also saw this problem. Wang Ji'an's case was very deep and the inside story might be beyond his imagination.
Liu Chengfei added: "Xiaguan sent people to search for more than ten days, but this old god left no trace. In addition, how did Wang Ji'an discover the mine in Shuijing Village? According to Wang Ji'an himself, it was several of his men
The prospecting school lieutenant, but Xia Guan found out during the case that the prospecting school lieutenant under him had always been used only to cover up others' eyes.
In the ten years since Wang Ji'an became the Mine Superintendent of Liu County, sixteen new gold concentrates of various kinds have been discovered in Liu County. After his death, Xianguan specially investigated them, and all of them were assigned by Wang Ji'an's prospecting school lieutenants.
found."
Song Zheng frowned: "Is this serious?"
Liu Chengfei said: "The person in charge of this matter is the county police chief Lu Yiqing. If you don't believe me, just call and ask and you will find out. In addition, I have strictly ordered all the prospecting captains not to leave the county before the case is settled."
, otherwise it will be regarded as absconding in fear of crime. Your Excellency can also bring them in for questioning."
Song Zheng couldn't help but glance at her. In terms of ability, this woman was really unexpected.
But her breasts are still too flat, far worse than Sister Zhao and others.
"what else?"
Liu Chengfei hid a sly smile and licked her dry lips: "I'm thirsty."
Song Zheng snorted and waved his hand. Outside, Shi Zhonghe came in with a smile and carrying a teapot: "Sir, here is a tribute of Tai Chi Lake stone tea."
Liu Chengfei took a sip and narrowed her eyes slightly, forming two beautiful crescent moons in enjoyment.
It was really hard to be in jail for most of the day. She had been pampered since she was a child, and she had never experienced anything like this before. She almost thought she would never get out. She followed her father's preference to drink tea, but unfortunately, although the Liu family had money, they couldn't buy it.
As a tribute, I drank Tai Chi Lake stone tea for the first time. It was full of fragrance and I really enjoyed it.
She glanced at Song Zheng and suddenly said: "Brewing stone tea like this is a waste of resources. I am good at tea ceremony. I wonder if you can..."
Shi Zhonghe had already sat down and waved outside: "Han Jiujiang, bring up all the tea sets."
Song Zheng glared at the girl and nodded to Liu Chengfei: "Okay."
Liu Chengfei skillfully and elegantly boiled water, woke up the tea, washed the tea, and brewed the tea. The procedures were complete, and she presented the first cup to Song Zheng, the second cup to Shi Zhonghe, and the last one was hers.
Song Zheng held up the teacup but did not drink, staring at Liu Chengfei. Liu Chengfei was annoyed and took a sip first, then looked back at Song Zheng. Song Zheng lowered his head, looked at the teacup in his hand and took a sip.
Shi Zhonghe, on the other hand, drank it unsuspectingly and praised repeatedly: "It is indeed much better than what I brewed myself. Sir, please take Magistrate Liu with you when we leave, and we will make tea specifically for us in the future."
"Do you also want to be silenced?" Song Zheng said angrily. If you don't speak, no one will treat you as a mute. If you really do this, wouldn't it be what Liu is most afraid of: robbing civilian girls?
Shi Zhonghe stuck out his tongue and sat on the side with his neck curled up.
Song Zheng said: "Go on."
"Yes." Liu Chengfei had some good tea to soothe her throat, and her voice
It became much clearer, like an oriole: "After a secret investigation, the official also discovered that although Wang Ji'an is openly from Sibangque, he secretly has a good relationship with the state pastor Ximen Hong."
Song Zheng asked calmly: "How do you, a county magistrate, know such secrets?"
Liu Chengfei's pretty face turned red, and she said with some trepidation: "Wang Ji'an likes to go to Chenyan Tower very much. When I investigated Chenyan Tower, I found that most of the time, he went to Chenyan Tower as a guest, and there were others who would take care of the accounts."
This is natural. In Liu County, others will only invite him.
"He was the host only three times, and the same person was invited to the banquet every time. The official ordered his portrait to be identified by the people in Chenyan Tower, and it was confirmed that it was Ximen Hong."
Ximen Hongtang, the state pastor, came to see Wang Ji'an from Lishui City three times. Wang Ji'an must have gone to see Ximen Hong even more often.
Liu Chengfei said: "It is a taboo in official circles to have two legs. Could Wang Ji'an's death be related to this matter?"
Song Zheng was noncommittal about this, but his thoughts continued in his mind: It is indeed related to Ximen Hong!
"Is there anything else going on?"
Liu Chengfei said: "The most important thing is." She stopped and looked at Shi Zhonghe and several soldiers guarding the side. Song Zheng waved his hand: "Everyone, go out."
Shi Zhonghe ordered another cup of tea and then went out carelessly. The soldiers also withdrew without saying a word. Song Zheng dropped the strange formation: "Can we talk now?"
Liu Chengfei was unconvinced for a while: Are you so relieved? This girl is a green snake and has poisonous fangs in her mouth. Are you really not afraid that I will assassinate him?
Yes, Shi Zhonghe and the others are not worried at all. They all know the strength of the adults and Liu Chengfei’s abilities, haha.
"One month before the incident, Wang Ji'an discovered something incredible." Liu Chengfei said mysteriously: "He wanted to keep it a secret and not tell the official. Hey, the official in Liu County didn't say that his hands and eyes were all powerful, but Wang Ji'an wanted to hide it.
It is also impossible to pass a lower official position.
The lower official saw that he was acting suspiciously, so he immediately ordered someone to investigate, and sure enough, he was discovered by the lower official."
She was a little proud, but when she saw Song Zheng frowning and looking troubled, she said strangely: "Sir, you..."
Song Zheng sighed and shook his head: "Virtual thoughts are true gold."
Liu Chengfei was stunned: "How do you know?"
Song Zheng did not answer, but asked: "Who have you told about Xu Nian Zhenjin?"
"No one said anything." Liu Chengfei said: "I'm not stupid, how can I dare to publicize this kind of treasure? I didn't even tell my family."
Song Zheng asked again: "Who did you send to investigate? How many people were involved in this matter?"
Liu Chengfei seemed to have guessed it: "The official ordered Gao Yue, the county's first-class catcher, to take charge of this matter. He... must have used the power of the Gao family to find out..."
"Gao family?"
"The four major families in Liu County, Liu, Pei, Lu, Gao, and Gao Yue, are from the Gao family. The headhunter Lu Yiqing mentioned by the official just now is from the Lu family."
Song Zheng sighed secretly.
He initially judged that the cause of Wang Ji'an's death was Xu Nian Zhen Jin. Originally, not many people knew that Xu Nian Zhen Jin was there. Starting from King Xi Yong, he should be able to find clues. But now, there is another Gao family
, I still don’t know how many people were involved in Gao Yue’s investigation. For every additional person, there is one more possibility of leaking the secret, and one more clue to investigate...
Song Zheng knocked on the table, the light of the strange array disappeared, and Li Sanyan asked outside: "What are your orders, sir?"
"Send Hong Tiancheng to bring Gao Yue back."
"yes."
Song Zheng stood up and said to Liu Chengfei: "Go and see Wang Ji'an's body. Where is his body buried?"
