Chapter 181 The Last Entrustment(1/2)
"That was the fourth day after Dongsheng and the young man from the same village entered the prefecture. Yuan Qier, the distant niece of the prefect who had been living in the mansion, was found dead in the back garden that night, and there were signs of being raped."
"How could time be so coincidental?" Yunxi frowned and said, "And how can we be sure that the poor girl died at Dongsheng and the young man in the same village? The back garden of the prefecture, aren't male guests outside the ordinary people who can't get in?"
Tang Qixing's eyes were sharp, "Indeed, when I heard these news, I was full of disbelief because there were too many doubts.
After that, I took a leave from the Nanzhen Fushi Office and went to the prefect of the prefecture in person to investigate the news. Not only did I investigate the coroner's writing documents, but I also visited every witness who might have contacted him or not.
Since the deceased had been buried at that time, I had no authority to investigate the case and could not have the autopsy, so I could not ask the local government office to cooperate with the coffin. While I was dealing with it in many ways, I discovered something more suspicious. Since the woman was from another place and the news blocked, Yuan Qi'er's parents could not arrive in time, so the prefect presided over the cremation as the woman's family."
Yunxi asked in confusion: "How could it be cremation? The place where the incident happened is not a southern mountain. We are all here to be buried in peace and have a complete body?"
Yunnan has long introduced such basic common sense to her.
Tang Qixing lowered his eyes and replied dejectedly: "It should be true, but the magistrate said that the woman who was defiled by others and not only was defiled by one person, had traces of uncleanness left on her body. Only by burning fire can we cleanse all the sins, and only after death can we enter the ancestral hall of this family. Moreover, the coroner has carefully examined it, and all the details have been left in the book and archived, so the fire has been burned without any worries."
Yunxi bit his lips unconsciously.
She thought of the weak and beautiful Li Huiniang again, and the countless unjust souls that were corpses standing on the east mountain of Caojiazhuang.
In her previous life, she heard people say that humans are the most tenacious animal.
However, in the late Ming Dynasty, when power could cover up the sky with one hand, wars and systems collapsed, life was too ordinary, and even living a stable life was a luxury.
When he is alive, no one can hear of it. After being crushed to death by the powerful and powerful, no one cares about it.
In this way, the mortals like grass came without a trace, and left no trace.
Only a helpless sigh was left, but even this sigh was like a mosquito flapping its wings, weak and inaudible.
"There is no choice but to read the coroner's composition books, but I found nothing. I asked the servants of the prefecture, but the neat caliber was suspicious. They all said that Dongsheng and the boy in the same village were taken care of by the distant nephew.
Because the young lady Yuan Qier was kind-hearted, she couldn't help feeling sympathy after hearing the life experiences of the two teenagers. In addition, the inspector specially ordered that they must treat each other well. The magistrate was kind and asked his family to receive and take care of him to show their closeness, so the three young people had the opportunity to contact him."
Yunxi's lip was biting even tighter. Although he was the name of a patrolman, he still asked his own female family members to receive two grown-up boys personally. No matter how he heard it, he felt it was unreasonable.
But before she could question her, she heard Xi Dailun cursing on the side, saying, "I am still a woman and I am receiving two boys. That magistrate is so generous!"
"Dailun! All of you are here, so how can you be so arrogant!" Hu Ke behind him immediately stopped when he heard Xi Dailun's words.
Xi Dailun reluctantly grinned his teeth, but finally stopped talking and stopped talking.
Tang Qixing smiled helplessly, "Xi Bingfang is right, this is an unreasonable point. With this question, I visited the family members of the magistrate and servants.
The statement this time is that in the first two days, Dongsheng and the boy from the same village were shocked by Yuan Qier's beauty. At that time, the servants privately joked about the two boys being rude and ungrateful.
On the day of the fourth day, the two of them had more blunt and explicit words, but Yuan Qier was still very polite about the rituals between men and women, so she scolded them and left angrily. Unexpectedly, something happened that night. The servant who was patrolling the night also found a piece of torn cloth in Yuan Qier's body, which was from Dongsheng.
When the magistrate learned that the tragedy had happened, he was immediately furious and ordered to catch Dongsheng and the other two.
The two of them were already uneasy and did not stay in the house. Instead, they wanted to leave the mansion overnight. However, the doorman had to make sure that Dongsheng and the others could not go out in the past few days, so as not to be retaliated by the robber general, so they did not let them go out.
There was no way to do it, and the two stood in the corner of the flower wall and discussed climbing over the wall. At this time, the servant chasing him was coming, and they ran out of the yard in a hurry. When the servant chased him out, there was no trace of him."
Speaking of this, Tang Qixing suddenly changed the topic and said angrily: "The preface of this case is inconsistent, and it can be said that it is full of mistakes. Even the so-called physical evidence found is ambiguous and not trustworthy at all! But without permission or special order, I can do nothing.
In desperation, I had to change directions and check.
But after checking, I found out that the patrol master's background was not as fair and selfless as he appeared. The previous dealings of a bandit who killed good people and made great contributions was true, but that was a bandit who had a feud with him.
The robber general who Dongsheng and the other two sued was the benefactor of the patrol master. He has been an official for so many years and has always exaggerated his achievements, deceived his superiors and subordinates to create a good reputation, but in fact he has a wealth of wealth and countless treasures.
The reason why Dongsheng and the other two were not dealt with directly was that they were afraid that Dongsheng had me, the elder brother who was the captain of the Nanzhen Fusi. That was why they pretended to make an excuse and made life and death unknown. On the one hand, they didn't want to stimulate me too much, and on the other hand, they also warned me not to be too involved.
In the end, as I expected, the general who killed good people and took the lead in returning to the capital was not only not guilty, but was promoted and promoted. And a whole village in my hometown, with thousands of lives, was defeated as a shameful crime of connecting with the enemy country and never turning over!"
He became more and more excited as he spoke, and blood flowed down his neck, extremely ferocious, "This is a bureau. The robber general and the patrol master are in the same group. Not only are they deeply thoughtful and vicious, but the forces behind them can also listen to the heavens! I went to ask the commander of the Nanzhen Fu Office in private, but the answer I got was to interfere in other matters and slander the imperial officials. Once the news spreads, I will be dismissed!"
He suddenly looked at Han Qianhu and sneered, "Brother Xike, don't you know? Actually, I had the opportunity to become the leader of a hundred households, but I couldn't get it. It's ridiculous that I have worked hard for so many years to make countless contributions, but because I have no background, I have only made others awarded official titles, and I have never been able to move forward. In the end, it was the blood of thousands of villagers and the whole family who had won the reputation of a thousand households. But this blood-stained Qilin official robe, how can a man with a standing height be put on my body with peace of mind?!"
Facing Tang Qixing's heart-wrenching question, Xi Rui's eyes unconsciously moved Han Qianhu unconsciously. He didn't know whether he was uncomfortable because of his words or just pure guilt.
Yun Xi was so angry that his whole body was trembling, and his hands, which were clenched into fists, had turned white.
Looking at Han Qianhu's gaze dodging, Tang Qixing smiled contemptuously, "So what if you are the Jinyiwei? So what if you are the most powerful Nanzhen Fushishi in the world? Without power and connections, you can't do anything.
I investigated openly and secretly, but I was already on guard against others. As long as I heard about my name, Tang Qixing, I would get ready early and be perfunctory.
Even if I want to find my poor brother, the evidence has been interrupted. Even if I work hard, what's the point?
What's more, I have done too many things that obey my orders and go against my conscience over the years. It was at that moment that I suddenly realized that this situation is not a problem for one person, nor is it just the affairs of the inspector, the robber general, nor is it just the affairs of our Nanzhen Fusi! It is the affairs of the entire officialdom!"
"Enough!" Han Qianhu suddenly let out a loud shout, and the embroidered saber on his waist was immediately unsheathed, shouting with a cold light like bleak, pointing directly at Tang Qixing who was surrounded by the three of them.
"Qianxing, you were just a crime of stealing and killing people, but now you are here to deceive the public. Do you want to take down the sin of rebellion and rebellion like your fellow villagers?!
Yun Xi's eyes sank.
Tang Qixing was right, this was clearly a situation. There were frequent mistakes and omissions on the surface, but in fact he was very scheming.
Tang Qixing sneered, changed his posture, raised his eyebrows and looked at Han Qianhu, his tone was cold, "Brother Xike, Tang Qixing is no longer Tang Tiqi, now Tang Qixing is just a prisoner, or even a death row prisoner. What if you talk about a little painless experience now? One knife is death, and isn't it also death if you cut it into pieces?"
Han Qianhu's fair face had been completely distorted and deformed, and his eyebrows were glaring at Tang Qixing with ferocious eyes.
Tang Qixing suddenly calmed down his smile, his meaning was plain and relaxed, "However, Qixing has already been a cheap life, but if he died so unclearly, then no one would know the secrets hidden behind Yao Guangbai, the thief of the thief Jiutian, will no longer be able to know." He raised his eyebrows and squinted Han Qianhu, "Brother Xike, isn't that the case?"
For a moment, Han Qianhu fell into a dilemma of being indescribable.
Tang Qixing smiled faintly, lowered his eyes, and continued, "Maybe I have long hated such a life that is bound by his identity as a God-Catcher, but he is the one who is a God-Catcher. Perhaps Dong was born in heaven and gave me a little divine light. Since then, another person has moved into my heart, and that person is Yao Guangbai."
Yunxi said in a low voice, "After all, no one has seen Dongsheng and another boy's body with his own eyes, maybe..." She paused for a moment before plucking up the courage to continue, "Maybe they are still living in a corner of the world, either not free or unable to show up, maybe..."
"No," Tang Qixing finally put down the embroidered sword that was crossed over his neck, shook his head gently, and showed a bitter smile on his lips, "Yun Shuli, you don't understand them," he closed his eyes in despair, "They won't even leave a whole body for Dong Sheng."
A tear slid down from the corners of his eyes, flowing through his blood-stained lips, and instantly dyed red.
Yunxi's heart suddenly hurt. Seeing Tang Qixing put down the knife that was crossing his neck, Han Qianhu waved his hand suddenly and shouted angrily, "Take it!"
Yang Tuo quickly shouted outside and almost greeted all the masters who were guarding the door.
Yun Xi stood there blankly, feeling countless soldiers swarming from behind, with their hands full of footsteps and the sound of wiping out of the sheath.
Countless tall backs instantly bypassed the same desolate story and were stunned by the desolate story. The bright silver-white knife tip surrounded Tang Qixing in a blink of an eye.
Tang Qixing suddenly stretched out his hand forward, and a soldier was immediately startled, but he was not careful that Tang Qixing's fingers would loosen, and the slender embroidered sword suddenly fell.
"Catch it!" Faced with Tang Qixing, who had given up resistance and no longer threatened, Han Qianhu decisively ordered.
The dense tips of the knife immediately filled Tang Qixing's chest and back.
After recovering from his senses, Boss Bian pulled off the soft rope of the cow tendon from his waist, pushed everyone away, stepped forward without saying a word, and tied Tang Qixing tightly into a big rice dumpling.
Tang Qixing let his body sway under the boss Bian, opened his eyes gently, looked at Han Qianhu, and smiled coldly, "Brother Xike, I just hope you can wash away the grievances for my brother and the thousands of my hometown elders." After saying that, his eyes turned to Yunxi and Yunnan.
In that sad and sad look, Yunxi clearly saw a kind of firmness and trust.
Her throat tightened.
Her feelings were not wrong. He did not tell Han Qianhu about this story, but about his brother and sister.
She nodded quietly and gave him a more determined look.
"Don't worry, Qixing, the court will not kill good people in vain. If there is really an injustice in this case, I will definitely go around and call you for you." Han Qianhu said with a chuckling.
Through his sincerity promise, Yunxi seemed to hear the contempt and ridicule in Han Qianhu's heart.
Tang Qixing didn't say anything to Han Qianhu again. He was grabbed by someone and pushed off the imperial concubine's couch with thick and soft brocade cushions and staggered out the door.
When passing by Yunxi, he suddenly stopped, looked at Yunxi with a side look, and smiled sadly, "I can't figure it out, but I won't meet you brothers and sisters."
Yunxi pursed his lips and smiled, and replied softly, "I prefer the wanton and unrestrained Yao Guangbai than you pretended to be a arrogant and domineering Jinyiwei."
Tang Qixing chuckled, "You are really unique," and said, pointing at his feet with his chin.
Yunxi looked down and saw that he was owing a foot, as if waiting for him to see his boots.
Yunxi looked carefully and found that there was something else in his boots. Yunxi subconsciously bent down to get it, but a big hand snatched it first and quickly took out a dagger from Tang Qixing's boots.
Yun Xi turned around in surprise, but heard Tang Qixing laugh and said, "Captain Yin, don't be afraid. This short knife was taken from Yun Shuguan's boots that day, and today it will be returned to Zhao."
He turned back to look at Han Qianhu, but touched the wound on his neck. He hissed, then grinned, "Brother Xike, the biggest regret in Qixing's life and the greatest blessing, was that he met these two descendants of the Yun family. He was strong and powerful. He was hard to meet. Qixing just wanted to give this girl's dagger back to her. Brother Xike wouldn't refuse this little wish, right?"
Yin Sanyu looked down and saw that the dagger in his hand was indeed unique in shape. It looked very consistent with Yunxi's strange and unique style of behavior. He bowed to Han Qianhu and lowered his eyes and replied: "Sir, this dagger was indeed the dagger that was passed by the clerk in the village that day. It was just a dagger that nothing else."
Han Qianhu nodded and relaxed, "After this, stop talking nonsense, go on the road."
Tang Qixing sneered, turned his gaze back, looked up at the sky, and recited loudly: "The light shook the Beidou overnight, the thick haze was fascinated by the east for five nights! He Xi saw Yaotingwu again, and suddenly remembered the song of Shangyang!"
Listening to Tang Qixing's ups and downs and passionate poems, looking at his back as he walked forward generously under the dense military armor, Yunxi felt endless sadness as waves, constantly slapping her heart.
The Beidou moves overnight, the thick haze is fascinated by the east for five nights...
She silently repeated the poems he sang in her heart, and she burst into tears.
With the exposure of Yao Guangbai's true identity, the final curtain finally came to an end for nine days and nights that had almost tortured all the officials in Teng County.
It was really hard for Yang Tuo. He was in a difficult situation of extreme tension and ups and downs for nine days. Finally, he could also send everyone to the Yang Mansion to thank him and send everyone warmly and peacefully out of the Yang Mansion one by one.
All the details are done in an extremely good manner, and they are polite and meticulous.
Just like this, he was busy in and out, and he could prepare the most solid sealed carriage for Han Qianhu in just one stick of incense to imprison Tang Qixing. He put his heart in mind. If ordinary people experienced Yang Tuo's twists and turns, after the matter was completed, they would definitely want to go back to their room and sleep well.
Looking at Yang Tuo, who had just been overnight, was as experienced and calm as a mature ten-year-old Yang Tuo, who was good at dancing, Yunxi felt deeply moved.
If Yang Tuo and Han Qianhu are both people with high IQ and higher EQ in the officialdom, then it is obvious that Tang Qixing only has IQ and excellent business practices, but is not good at engaging in business, and is unwilling to bow his head to engaging in business, and is a professional with high EQ and high-end high-tech professional.
To be continued...
