"His Royal Highness is wise. It seems that the flood disaster this time is not just a natural disaster, but there must be man-made disasters." Qin Mubai said, "Among these layers of fog and many destinations, the most confusing is the three Point, one is the death of Zhu Chengwen, the other is the food issue, and the third is where the flood went."
"Yes." Li Ke said, "We will solve them one by one, but we can only do it in secret. Therefore, I will work with Cheng Songnian, Ma Kun and others these days to continue flood relief and appease the victims. You go to investigate these things secretly. I suspect that there must be some secrets that shock us!"
"Okay, I will check!"
That night, Qin Mubai found the body of Zhu Chengwen, the magistrate of the county magistrate, and inspected it carefully. According to Cheng Songnian and others, Zhu Chengwen committed suicide in his own home. He is a southerner. He has just taken office as the magistrate of Jishan County for less than half a year. He is an official alone and lives alone in the county government's office. After he committed suicide, he left a confession note.
Qin Mubai looked at the corpse, and it was indeed found that there were strangulation marks on the neck and bruises on the neck bone. On the surface, it appeared to be a hanging beam and killed himself. However, the congestion on his face was not serious, and Qin Mubai found that there were blood corpses between his lips and nose, and there was bruise in his nasal cavity.
Qin Mubai's heart brightened----Obviously, Zhu Chengwen was smothered to death by someone covering his nose and mouth before hanging the beam! After he died, he hung his body on the beam again, making the appearance of suicide by hanging the beam.
Qin Mubai looked at the suicide note again, and compared with the writings left by Zhu Chengwen, it was indeed very similar. The words of the suicide note are heartbroken, and he feels ashamed to kiss the emperor's grace. But every stroke of this stroke is extremely neat, and obviously the mood of the writer is not at all agitated.
Maybe a person who is about to commit suicide knows that his mentality may be so stable?
There is no doubt that the suicide note was forged, and Zhu Chengwen was killed by him!
Who is most suspected? Why kill Zhu Chengwen?
Qin Mubai pondered this question repeatedly, thinking of what the emperor said that he allocated 50 million yuan to build the Jishan dyke, and Ma Kun and others poured grain into the flood to build the embankment, and then denied plundering the people's food-- --He couldn't help but raise such a hypothesis and inference in his mind.
Suppose that the imperial government allocated funds to build the flood control levee, but this money was partially contaminated by the $ which cut corners, which made the flood control levee not strong enough, leading to this flood disaster in late summer and early autumn. Then, the court will definitely send someone to investigate.
The first object of this investigation was Zhu Chengwen, the magistrate of Jishan County, and he must be an insider. So he was silenced.
After that, you can only follow the whereabouts of the money and track it down. Then, Jiangzhou can use grain to speak of things—the grain invested in the flood peak is all money! From this they can infer that Jiangzhou is actually quite prepared for flood control. The five thousand stone grains put into the flood are worth ten million dollars!
In addition, the lake **** has broken, and there is nowhere to find the traces of the previous construction. The county magistrate of Jishan County, Zhu Chengwen, who knows the inside story, has committed suicide again... Then, even if the court suspects that someone has been tainted by it, it is perfectly fine Pour this pot of dirty water on the dead Zhu Chengwen!
What's more, he already has a "criminal history" of taint. It is a metaphor that the people and the governor's boss all accused him of forcibly driving away the people, intending to seize the opportunity to **** their property and food to make the country difficult.
It's so perfect!
Thinking of all this, Qin Mubai couldn't help but smile to himself: When people pass by, geese pass by and leave traces, where will there be no clues? There is no doubt that the sudden flooding this time frightened some officials and revealed their fox tails. So they panicked and hurriedly found borrowed items to cover up. Regardless of whether Zhu Chengwen was an upright official or an official, there is no doubt that he was murdered. Then, this "disappearing" flood must have a lot of information, and it must have washed some other place, and then built a dam, and then put in food
