Nightwatcher Chapter 185: Inference


  Caoyun Yamen is divided into two systems, the Banking Department and the Gangyun Department. The highest-ranking official is the transshipment agent, Zheng Sipin. Managed nearly a thousand people inside and outside the water transport yamen.

   "Caoyun is the most oily of all the government officials. In the 20th year of Yuanjing, the court had promoted the sale of officials, and they sold all positions related to water transportation." Governor Zhang led the way and said in a deep voice:

  "In the 22nd year of Yuanjing, Wei Gong and Wang Shoufu had jointly banned the policy of selling official junjue. But in only two years, there were so many worms that came in indiscriminately. Today, there are still a group of corpse vegetarians stealing high positions ."

   Xu Qi'an didn't care much about Governor Zhang's indignation, but extracted some intriguing points from his words.

  We need two mortal enemies, Wei Yuan and Wang Shoufu, to join forces to suppress. Who is that person who sells officials?

   There is no doubt that it is Emperor Yuan Jing.

   There are many emperors selling official princes in the history books. Emperor Yuanjing is not alone. These emperors have one thing in common: spending money like running water.

   And the evaluation of such emperors in the history books is not very good, at least they are criticized for such behavior.

   Yuzhou Caoyun Yamen arrived, the Yamen saw a group of men threatening horses, headed by officials in scarlet robes, and men with golden gongs embroidered on their chests.

   didn't even inquire, rushed into the yamen to report.

   After a few minutes, Yuzhou Caoyun Yamen's transfer envoy, a member of the Fourth Grade, walked hurriedly to meet him personally.

   The transporter is over fifty years old, with a gray beard, ordinary appearance, and a mole on the center of his eyebrows, which makes his ordinary appearance a little special.

   "My official Zhang Xingying, I was ordered to go to Yunzhou to investigate the case. This is a cabinet document." Governor Zhang took out a thin booklet and handed it over.

   "It turned out to be the governor, disrespectful and disrespectful, please inside." After reading the document, the transfer envoy respectfully handed it back, then leaned sideways and made a gesture of please.

   A group of people entered the Yamen, the transfer ambassador led Governor Zhang to the Yamen lobby, and after sitting to watch the tea, the transfer ambassador laughed and said:

  "The governor is struggling, but is planning to rest in Yuzhou for a few days?"

   He watched the governor from the capital calmly, only to think that the other party was an unsmiling and boring person. He has never shown a smile since he met.

  The adults from the capital are so proud?

  ....The transport envoy does not know the seriousness of the matter yet. Governor Zhang waved his hand: "Whether the official is staying here depends on the progress of the case."

   "What do you say?" the transfer agent asked in amazement.

   Governor Zhang looked out of the hall and said loudly: "Bring here!"

  , along with Fang He, a bearded bearded man, sixty-two members of the Yellow Flag Gang were brought up. His body was slightly or severely injured, and his expression wilted.

   Seeing these people, the transporter stood up in surprise and dazed, pointed at them, and looked at Governor Zhang: "What's the matter with these people, why are they wearing my Caoyunyamen's official clothes?"

  "This is why the official visited the transfer agent."

   At the moment, Governor Zhang told the transfer agent in detail about the matter. The latter had no blood after hearing it, and fell back into the seat, muttering: "How can this be good, how is it good... ."

  啧啧, the Qigong training is too bad, compared with the officials I have dealt with in the capital, this transfer envoy is simply a bronze... Xu Qi'an was complaining in his heart while observing the expression of the transfer envoy. Small hands.

   Governor Zhang said in a deep voice: "My lord, the officer asks you, are you aware of this case?"

   The transporter shook his head hurriedly, trying to defend: "This official doesn't know, Master Governor..."

   Governor Zhang didn't respond, turned his head to look at the white warlocks in the crowd, several white warlocks nodded slightly, indicating that they were not lying.

   groaned for a while, Governor Zhang said, "Is the Gang Yunshi in the Yamen?"

   The transfer agent turned his attention to the culprit, and was angry that a twenty-five boy had appeared under his command, and said in a deep voice:

  "The Gang Yun envoy Yan Kai is off today, and he is not in the Yamen. The official will immediately take the governor to capture this 獠."

  .....

   Outside the Gang Yun envoy Yan Kai's mansion, Governor Zhang waved his hand to let Hu Benwei disperse and surround Yan's mansion.

   Yang Muhua, a transport agent from the Cao Yun Yamen who came with him, also brought twenty catchers.

  After Hu Benwei disperse, Jiang Luzhong directly led someone into the house, and knocked down all the housekeepers and guards.

   Tiger Benwei, the catcher of Cao Yun Yamen, and the guards swept the entire Yan Mansion, fast as thunder, and did not give the opponent a chance to react.

  "My lord, I am in the study."

  The catcher of the Caoyun Yamen was the first to spot Yan Kai. When Xu Qi'an rushed to the study with his colleagues, he was a step late when he saw blood spattered all over the floor, thick as quickly.

   Gang Yun made Yan Kai weakly lie on the chair, his head tilted, a deep wound on his neck, and a dagger on the ground on his right hand.

   This result obviously surpassed the expectation of Ambassador Yang and Governor Zhang, but was shocked, and anger filled his chest.

   However, the anger of the two is not the same. The anger of the transporter is closer to the furious anger of incompetence. Once Tsuna Yunji died, all his eyes were on himself, and he must be the first to be suspected.

   Governor Zhang is a kind of anger when a cooked duck flies away.

   There are too many people, and it is easy to destroy the scene... and there is no guarantee that there will be no murderers present. It is likely to destroy the key clues... Xu Qi'an is the most calm, and when his thoughts turn, he decisively:

  "Everyone left the study and waited outside."

   Governor Zhang, who heard this, lifted his spirits, glanced at the crowd, and said in a deep voice: "All go outside and wait and leave the study."

   Soon, Jiang Luzhong, Xu Qi'an and two adults were left in the study.

   "My lord governor, this is definitely a suicide in fear of crime, and this case has nothing to do with the official." Yang Zhuan made a repetitive explanation, eager to separate the relationship.

   Governor Zhang ignored him at all, looked at Xu Qi'an and said, "Xu Ningyan, take a good look."

  Transfer Yang couldn't help but glance at Xu Qi'an, and soon stopped paying attention, pulling Governor Zhang to continue to explain, complaining and confessing his innocence.

  "The bloodstains coagulated into a lump, not long after we died, but before we entered the house." Jiang Luzhong said.

   "We almost died when we entered the Caoyun Yamen." Xu Qi'an nodded.

   He simply inspected Yan Kai's corpse. The wound was so obvious that there was no need for an autopsy. He had his carotid artery cut and died.

  After looking at the corpse, Xu Qi'an inspected every corner of the study as usual, looking for possible clues.

   The whole process only lasted five minutes. Xu Qi'an sighed: "My Lord Governor, he was killed, not committing suicide."

   Governor Zhang nodded and said: "Why do you see it?"

   The chattering transfer stopped the excuse and turned to look.

   "If the carotid artery is severed, people will be struggling because of lack of oxygen... because of the survival instinct, and will not sit like this. Of course, it is not enough to judge him to be killed." Xu Qi'an said:

   "Yan Kai is left-handed, right."

  The transfer agent Yang was taken aback: "How do you know?"

  " There is a thick cocoon on the side of his left middle finger, which is left by holding the pen all the time. Normal people’s cocoon is on the right middle finger, so I judge him to be left-handed.

  "Look at the wound on the neck again, the left is deep and the right is shallow. These are the marks left by the right hand with the knife."

  God....Transfer Envoy looked at Xu Qi'an in shock, no more contempt in his eyes. With less than half a stick of incense, you can find clues and infer the real cause of death.

   From the point of view of transshipment agents who are not good at judging cases, it is simply an amazing display of abilities.

   Very powerful....This is the first time Governor Zhang has witnessed Xu Qi'an's ability to judge a case, even though he had heard about it. No matter how the officialdom in the capital circulated the deeds of this little gong, hearing it and seeing it are two different things.

   However, there is no use for eggs, and it is not a breakthrough in the investigation of the case... Yan Kai’s cause of death was cut his throat, not as flamboyant as the murder in the wizard’s dream, but because of this simple and crude Anyone can do assault tactics, but it is becoming more and more difficult to locate the murderer... Without surveillance, it is too hard to solve the crime.

  "There are no signs of prying or damage to the doors and windows. The murderer and the deceased are obviously known to each other. Interrogate the servants in the mansion to see if anyone has just visited or heard Yan Kai's call for help Also, interrogate everyone in the Cao Yun Yamen, including the transfer agent, and remember to search your body to avoid the use of magical instruments that cover your breath and obstruct the observation of Wang Qi." Xu Qi'an gave a suggestion.

   Governor Zhang said: "Sir, please cooperate with us."

For more than an hour after   , the three warlocks of Sitianjian kept observing the officials and staff of the Caoyun Yamen.

   But there was no gain. With the death of Gang Yun Envoy Yan Kai, the clues to this "Guardian Self-theft" case were broken.

  , governor Zhang, accompanied by Jiang Luzhong, went to Yuzhou’s censorship officer, who was in charge of torture, which happened to be in charge of this matter. At the same time, it was also the supervisory organ of the imperial court, under the jurisdiction of the Metropolitan Procuratorate.

   Governor Zhang is the Yudu Yushi of the Metropolitan Procuratorate, and is the immediate superior of the torture and prosecutors.

   In the afterglow of the evening, Xu Qi'an sat on the roof of the Caoyun Yamen, bathed in Jinxia, ​​and reopened the case in his mind.

   a Gang Yunshi died, and the clues to the whole case were cut off. Oh, this is also a clue that the people behind the scenes did not manipulate the entire water transport yamen.

   It can be seen that this is not a simple corruption case... The Ministry of Industry Shangshu has fallen, and Yuzhou’s water transportation yamen continues to repeat operations to smuggle iron ore to Yunzhou... which means that it is still Someone is manipulating behind the scenes. This person has little power, and can only control one person. No, it may not be that he has little power. Maybe it is to act in secret.

  If I didn’t run into it like shit, the smuggling of iron ore might continue.

  Since there is smuggling of iron ore, will there be smuggling of official salt and saltpeter? The imperial court has to check the water transport yamen in each state.

   "This trip to Yunzhou is probably more dangerous than imagined." Xu Qi'an thought worriedly, and suddenly heard someone calling him.

   "Ning Yan, go, go to Jiaofang Sile Yile." Song Tingfeng stood in the courtyard and waved to him.

   "Don't go, I'm thinking about business." Xu Qi'an didn't have a good air.

   "Go, I heard that the female Jiaofang Division in Yuzhou knows how to serve people." Song Tingfeng followed the temptation.

   "I know the Jiaofang Sijiaofang Si all day long, be careful not to be promoted in your life." Xu Qi'an resented the response of iron and steel.

  .....

  Yuzhou~IndoMTL.com~Jiaofang Division.

   In the melodious sound of silk and bamboo, Xu Qi'an picked up the wine glass and laughed: "Come on, drink and drink. I have been floating on the water for six days. I have grown spider webs with birds."

      Fighting people to toast together, every person is a delicate beauty, pushing the cup and changing the cup, laughing Yan Yan.

   Xu Ningyan really followed. Song Tingfeng was not surprised about this, it should be said that they were all expected.

  When he was in the capital, Xu Qi'an never took the initiative to go to Jiaofangsi. It was Song Tingfeng’s suggestion, and then he and Zhu Guangxiao followed.

   Sometimes when Xu Ningyan is practicing, he yells: Song Tingfeng, if you have a conscience, don't disturb Laozi's practice.

   After cursing, pat buttock and follow.

   The Jiaofang Division in Yuzhou is different from the capital. The area is not that big, but it was built near the river, with six courtyards and two tall buildings. Wins in the elegant scenery.

   The rippling water distorted the reflection of the red lantern, and the sound of silk and bamboo wind drifted in the yard, floating on the sparkling river.

  As Xu Qi'an and others, of course, he would not go to the building to drink with those mixed clients. After the officials of Caoyun Yamen led the way, they came to an oiran yard called Hongshou to play a tea ring.

   The red-sleeved oiran seemed a little reluctant. A group of people drank in the yard for half an hour, but she hadn't come out yet.
