Chapter 86
Yao Qi shivered, and the man stared at him with two bright eyes.
"When will it be stolen? Can you check it out at your residence?"
Yao Qi was frightened and saw the yamen runner say to the man: "I just arrived at the county government and haven't eaten a bite of tea. These things can be done by the lowly ranks of people."
Yao Qi was shocked again. The Jingshu walked to Zhang Ping and said to him: "Don't worry, the second young master, the magistrate attaches great importance to the case of Mr. Yao. He will never delay it."
Yao Qi woke up like a dream and said, "Student thanked the adults. I hope the adults will forgive me when they collided."
Zhang Ping frowned: "I'd better go and have a look first."
No matter how detailed the retelling of others is, it is not as good as seeing it with your own eyes. The longer the delay, the fewer clues you can find.
He looked to the side: "If you don't go to the county government for now, it shouldn't be a problem?"
The officials were stunned. Of course, it was not inconvenient. As soon as the new county magistrate arrived, the county government office had just arrived, and before the county government entered, he went to the scene of the case. What a glorious deed!
The chief clerk, the head of the torture room, and the chief recruiter immediately said bravely: "Please go with me if you are a gentleman." "Please ask me here." "Please, the constables are all here." "Please prepare sedan chairs!"...
Xie Fu looked coldly at the officials in the yamen surrounding Zhang Ping. At this time, only he should still remember that Lord Zhang had not shown his official robe from beginning to end.
He had to sing this white face.
Alas, why didn't I jump down quickly at that time?
Xie Fu cleared his throat and took two steps forward: "Sir, is it still the first step to go to the yamen? The lower officials will present the seal. After the documents, it will not be too late to go?"
Zhang Ping turned around and said, "If it's not serious, it's okay to go later. Can you please go with me?"
Xie Fu was demoted for the case of Yao Yuanwai, so he should be very concerned about it.
Xie Fu choked, and Zhang Ping immediately thought again that Xie Fu had just left from birth to death. He thought he was extremely tired. His wife was still worried about him, so she said earnestly: "Mr. Xie, please go back first. Have a good rest." He took off his shoulder bag, "The Ministry of Personnel's document is in the wooden box. Please take it with you first."
Xie Fu's face was hot and he could hardly stand.
The chief clerk on the side hurried over to smooth things over: "Mr. Xie is also very worried about this case and must accompany the magistrate to go there. The magistrate's tutor's tutor will be sent to the yamen by the lower officials. The two tutors asked for it, and the tutor's tutor will be guarded by the yamen. If there is any omission, the tutor will punish you when he comes back."
Zhang Ping looked at Xie Fu with concern: "Is it okay?"
Xie Fu smiled sadly in his heart. Forget it, for nothing, why did he climb a mountain? Tonight, wait for a quiet hour, take a rope, don’t worry about the purple face and tongue, the dirty appearance behind the crotch and the ground, and find a high and solid place to hang it.
No matter how unbearable death is, it is better than the humiliation of life.
He closed his eyes and bowed: "Thank you for your care. If you can accompany me, it will be a blessing for you."
The Yao Mansion Mansion is southwest of Fengle County. Zhang Ping did not sit in the official sedan chair and still rode his own horse. The officials accompanying him naturally rode horses, and Yao Qi and his family also rode horses to report to the officials.
All the officials understood that the people in the city must pay good attention to this action by the Xin Tai-yeon. So they surrounded Zhang Ping in the center and carried the horse forward slowly.
After walking halfway through the street, Zhang Ping said, "Can you be faster?" The little foal squirted impatiently, took the opportunity to penetrate into the gap that the minor officials turned around and flashed out, rushed out of the encirclement, and ran away.
Zhang Ping had stepped on a point before, and he knew how to get there. The county officials originally planned to lead him to go from the most prosperous East-West Street so that more people could appreciate the heroic posture of the new master investigating the case, but saw Zhang Ping turning his horse at the intersection and heading towards the right nearest road.
The Yao family manager had already quietly flashed out of the cycling team and planned to rush back to the house from the nearest road. He notified the New Magistrate to welcome the New Magistrate. He turned into the alley. He could not help but turn around. He saw a man and a horse running towards him like ghosts from the dark corner of the street. He appeared under the lights of the street stall, but he was the New Magistrate Zhang.
The manager shivered secretly, how did he keep up?
Fortunately, everyone chasing Zhang Ping also appeared immediately. The manager breathed a sigh of relief and cleverly described Zhang Ping with a respectful description: "Sir, please follow the younger one here."
Zhang Ping's horse actually didn't run too fast, and the county government caught up in a moment. Everyone dismounted outside the Yao Mansion gate. Yao Qi and Xie Fu accompanied Zhang Ping into the Yao Mansion gate.
Zhang Ping glanced at the eaves and wall columns, and then looked at the floor tiles. Under the lantern fire, it was not clear, but the paint of the doors and corridor columns was very fresh, and the door handles and floor tiles seemed to be quite old.
It is difficult to judge the specific year.
When the people of the Yao family heard that the newly appointed magistrate of the county government had not even entered the gate of the county government, they rushed here directly for the Yao family's case. They were very grateful. The officials of the inner government led the servants to kneel down to greet him. Except for Yao Qi who came back, the rest of the men in the Yao family were in the capital. There were only female relatives in the mansion, so they were not convenient to come out to pay their respects, so the manager passed the message to Mrs. Yao and thanked the magistrate Zhang.
The Yao family was stolen before and after Yao Qi arrived at home to report the death. At that time, the people in the mansion were crying because of the death of the old man, but Mrs. Yao went to the wing room to get the relics of her deceased husband, and found that she had been thieves. Yao Qi and his servants were immediately reminded of the strange man riding a mule who was following them along the way. Then Yao Qi took his servants to the yamen to report to the officials.
The head of the arrester asked Zhang Ping for instructions and sent several constables to join the Yao family servants to investigate what was stolen. Zhang Ping nodded and then asked Yao Qi: "How many decades have the precious house been built?"
No one expected that Lord Zhang was talking about family matters first.
Is it not appropriate?
Yao Qi thought so even more, but replied: "To my grandfather, my mansion was built during the Tongguang period of the student's great-grandfather. It is an old house."
Zhang Ping asked again: "What did the ancestors of the state, before?"
Yao Qi said: "My ancestors once went to Shang, but my father had just studied for a lifetime. He was not considered a knowledgeable family."
Xing Shu who was walking behind interjected: "The second young master is too humble, the old man Wai Nai's great charity in the county. Several of the young masters are well-read in poetry and books, and your mansion can be regarded as an example in the county."
Yao Qi said in a hoarse voice: "Sir, don't be polite, you can't say this at this time."
Everyone was silent, and Zhang Ping spoke again: "Menwai's family, can you trust Feng Shui?"
This sentence became even more abrupt. Even Xie Fu couldn't help but look at Zhang Ping, and wanted to speak, but he held it back.
Yao Qi was a little stiff, but the magistrate asked, and he had to answer. No matter why the new magistrate came, it was late at night, and he had not even drooled in the county government and rushed here. Yao Qi forced himself to swallow his throat and choked: "Reply to the words of the master, my father had been rushing to chant Buddha for many years, and he often said that good and evil are controlled by the heart, and good and bad are born from the cause. He cherishes it and let it go. He even rarely asks for signing and asking questions, and he never does anything at home that he is tired of winning and praying for money..." At the end of the conversation, he could not speak, and raised his sleeves to wipe his tears.
Zhang Ping said: "Does the grandfather, great-grandfather of the Yuanwai, believe in it? Feng Shui, geomanticism, and Taoism."
Yao Qi choked again, and the clerk hurriedly made a smooth move: "Sir, his ancestor had passed away before the second son was born, and I'm afraid the second son didn't know about these."
Yao Qi reluctantly said: "There are several Taoist books in my collection. My father did not mention the calendar. He was placed in the same place as the book passed down by his grandfather. However, my father liked to collect rare ancient books throughout his life. These two books may also be collected by his father or given to others, so the students do not know. No one in the family has read these books."
Zhang Ping asked again: "What is the title of the book?"
Yao Qi choked and said, "A book of "Qingwu Jing" and a set of "Baopuzi". The adult asked this, is there a clue to the case of my father?"
Everyone could hear that Yao Qi was a little anxious when Zhang Ping asked the question about the topic. His family had a tragic incident and was in a mess, and it was difficult to maintain a comprehensive relationship in words.
The captain and the clerk were about to say something. Zhang Ping said seriously, "I can't make a judgment for the time being." He asked again, "Does the official's family have a prosperous local people? Did his ancestors live in the city or in the countryside?"
Yao Qi said in a hard voice: "The students have just answered that their ancestors were doing business, and their families were still in the countryside. Emperor Gaozu might have been specializing in farming. The house was built during the Tongguang period, and he lived in Fengle at that time."
Zhang Ping said: "Have you ever heard Lingzun mention Dawan Village?"
Yao Qi frowned, and the head-in-chief immediately said to Yao Qi: "It is the current Fushou Village. I invited the name in front of my grandma's spirit, and later it was changed to Gujing Village."
Grandma Cishou? Yao Qi shook all over.
Zhang Ping stared at him with his eyes tightly. At this time, the two constables and several Yao family members rushed from the inner house and knelt down in the corridor.
"Sir, the Yao family has roughly checked it. Several houses in the mansion have been turned over. No valuable items have been found yet. Only the wooden box in the Yao Man's room and several old books in the study have disappeared. Tonight, Bei Zhi will count them overnight."
Yao Qi said hoarsely: "The wooden box was built by my father's house and land deeds. The box was placed in a dark lattice under a few floor tiles beside my father's bed. Even the students didn't know where they were, and they didn't know how the thief learned it."
Zhang Ping looked at the detective: "What book did you lose?"
The two constables were stunned and the servant of the Yao family who knelt behind them replied, "Reported to you, there are several old books, and you have been in the corner of the study, and you have never read them much. It should be several books "Baopuzi" and "Qingwu Jing".
Yao Qi and the accompanying county yard all raised their eyes again, Zhang Ping looked at Yao Qi, and Yao Qi and the others looked at Zhang Ping.
Zhang Ping raised his sleeve and said to Yao Qi solemnly: "Can you borrow a step to speak?"
Yao Qi opened his mouth, and finally nodded silently, walked down the corridor with Zhang Ping, and arrived in the courtyard. There was no one on the left and right, and the surroundings were empty. In the dim light, he could only see the blurry outline of the other party.
"Did Yuanwai Yao mention a woman who is related to the ancestors of the country?"
Yao Qi shivered for no reason: "My father really did not allow his family to mention Grandma Cishou, saying that his ancestors had a lesson and could not trust the evil ways. He even forbidden his female relatives to go to Shounian Mountain. His mother wanted to go to burn incense, but was scolded by his father. A few years ago, Grandma's temple was renovated. Lord Xie once asked his father to go there, but his father refused. My mother was afraid that Lord Xie would blame him, so she wanted to secretly prepare some sacrifices to the temple, but was taken back by his father. So later... the younger brother disappeared, and his mother said that it was Grandma who sued him and kidnapped his brother."
Zhang Ping said: "Is this what Lingtang said?"
Yao Qi nodded: "However, my father was also very anxious. At that time, we saw that my father seemed to be thinking about the place where my mother guessed. We were a little puzzled. Later, we thought that in fact, when he was chanting Buddha's name, the gods and Buddhas were connected, he might still believe in his heart."
