A Clash of Gods - Chapter 733

[Chapter 729]

The front of the Kyoto government office was as solemn as ever. Although the governor of the capital, Tiezheng, was not considered a high-ranking position in the capital where the high officials were like clouds, the Kyoto government office was never despised by anyone.

The position of the governor of Kyoto has always been a hot butt place. Since the establishment of the capital of the Great Chu Empire in Ye, the Kyoto Prefecture has been established. There are seventeen or eight Kyoto governors, but they can stay in this position. There are only a handful of long-term ones, and it is already a miracle to stay in this position for three years.

After all, the capital city is in charge of the cases in the capital city, and the cases near the capital city are fine, but any case in the capital city will always involve some dignitaries. No matter how you decide, you will always offend one party. When the governor of Kyoto takes office, the incumbent officials will do everything possible to transfer them away from the fire pit.

It was not until Tie Zheng was transferred to this post that Kyoto Prefecture became a real yamen that attracted people’s attention.

Before Tie Zheng took office, he had the reputation of being upright and did not have many contacts in the official circle. Although he had done a lot of practical things, he had never been promoted.

When the water is clear, there will be no fish. Of course Tie Zheng understands this truth, but he has never been involved in the muddy water.

After Tie Zheng took office, he acted vigorously and resolutely. Whenever a case was handed over to the Kyoto government, he would go to the bottom of it, and he must find out the bottom line. Many people laughed secretly in their hearts. Those officials who were extremely slick would not stay in this position for a long time, not to mention Tie Zheng. Zheng’s temperament is out of tune with the officialdom, even if he is not dismissed from office, he will definitely have bad luck in the end.

But the fact is just the opposite. Tie Zheng decides the case, regardless of his identities, just asks the right and wrong. For this reason, many officials in Beijing have been offended by him, and even want to rectify him behind their backs, but the cases he breaks will always be left behind. In the case file, the right and wrong are clear in the case file, and a lot of evidence is preserved, so it is very easy to pick out the faults in his case.

The most important thing is that the former emperor could not ask for such a person, and he tried his best to protect him. Tie Zheng had been working in the position of the governor of the capital for more than ten years, and it was precisely because of the existence of Tie Zheng that those scoundrels were afraid that something would offend Tie Zheng. In his hands, he dare not be too arrogant, and the security of the capital is also clear.

When Qi Ning and Dou Lianzhong filed a lawsuit and came to the capital, Dou Lianzhong did not dare to offend Tie Zheng in the slightest. This shows Tie Zheng’s prestige in Beijing, and the people in Beijing support him very much. Those dignitaries know that This person will not deal with this person unless it is a last resort.

When Qi Ning came to the capital a few days ago, he was only the prince of Jinyi, but this time his identity changed, he was already the hereditary candidate of the empire, and when he got the report, Tie Zheng went out to greet him in person.

Qi Ning also had a bit of respect for this type of person. The two exchanged a few words and went to the side hall without making a proposal, only to see Duan Canghai sitting impatiently in the side hall with the tea in hand early. It was already cold, Tie Zheng took the lead into the hall, Duan Canghai hadn’t seen Qi Ning yet, so he couldn’t help sneering: “Master Tie’s official business is over? This is really making people wait.”

Tie Zheng just smiled lightly. At this time, Qi Ning had followed him into the hall. Duan Canghai was startled when he saw Qi Ning, but Qi Ning sighed in his heart.

Looking at the scene in front of him, he naturally saw that although Duan Canghai came to the capital early, he had never seen Tie Zheng before. Tie Zheng obviously found a reason to be busy with official business and left Duan Canghai here.

Although Duan Canghai’s official position is not as good as Tie Zheng, he is an old subordinate of Jin Yi Qi’s family after all, and he is also a veteran from the battlefield. Tie Zheng dared to hang him here for a long time, and it can be seen that he is not afraid of offending anyone at all.

Qi Ning rolled his eyes, Duan Canghai suppressed the anger in his heart, and Tie Zheng invited Qi Ning to take a seat in the main seat, and he was by the side to accompany him. It was ordered not to approach.

“Your Majesty is here, naturally because of the case of Heiliyingying.” Tie Zheng didn’t hesitate, and said straight to the point: “Do you have any questions, Lord Marquis?

But it doesn’t matter, if the lower official knows anything, he should know everything and say it.

”

Qi Ning said with a smile: “Lord Tie straight to the point, this is very good. Lord Tie should also know that this time the crime was committed by the people of the Black Scale Battalion. This Hou is in the position of commander of the Black Scale Battalion, and the soldiers under his command committed such a serious crime. Can’t help but ask.”

“Of course.” Tie Zheng said immediately: “If the Marquis doesn’t come, the lower officials will also visit the mansion.”

His skin was slightly dark, and his expression was stern, like a rigid rock, and every word he uttered did not seem suspicious.

“So it is.” Qi Ning said with a smile: “Master Tie, I have something to ask you first, please don’t hesitate to enlighten me.”

Tie Zheng raised his hand and said, “Master Hou, please speak!”

“It is said that on the night of the incident, the soldiers committed the murder and happened to be met by the people of the capital. This should be right?” Qi Ning asked, staring into Tie Zheng’s eyes.

Tie Zheng nodded and said, “That’s true. Cai Feng, Cai Zhutou of the Kyoto Prefecture, happened to be passing by that night. He encountered a murder case and arrested the perpetrator on the spot.”

“When the incident happened, I heard it was midnight?”

“Exactly.”

“People from Kyoto Prefecture appeared on the outskirts of the capital in the middle of the night, and they happened to encounter a murder case. I wonder if it was a coincidence, or did the Kyoto Prefecture know beforehand that there was a case going to happen there?” Qi Ning was aggressive.

Duan Canghai was also staring at Tie Zheng.

Tie Zheng didn’t rush to answer, but took out a letter from his arms and presented it to Qi Ning with both hands. Qi Ning didn’t know what medicine Tie Zheng sold in the gourd, so he took the letter and saw that only Tie Zheng was written on the outside of the letter. He said the four words personally, but did not leave any money, he frowned, opened it, glanced at it, his face became serious, Duan Canghai was wondering, Qi Ning had already handed over the letter, and Duan Canghai took it.

Tie Zheng has already said: “Master Hou, this is the letter paper that was thrown in front of the capital’s yamen at noon on the day of the incident. No one knows who left it there. It is very clear on the letter paper. There will be murders near Linying, and it will involve high officials and nobles. If it cannot be stopped in time, the court will be implicated.”

Qi Ning frowned and said, “That is to say, before the incident, someone had already notified it in advance.”

“Exactly.” Tie Zheng said: “Xiaguan summoned the four chief arresting officers of the capital. Although some people suspected that it was a prank, since Xiaguan took office, no one has ever made such a joke with Xiaguan.”

“The handwriting on the letterhead seems to be very ordinary, and the source cannot be seen.”

“Yes, any gentleman who sells characters on the street can write this letter.” Tie Zheng’s face was always grim: “The other party did it on purpose, he just didn’t want people to find the person who wrote this letter through handwriting. ”

Qi Ning pondered for a while before asking, “Master Tie is saying that the yamen in the Kyoto Prefecture who encountered the murder that night came to the scene because of this letter?”

“Xiaguan thought again and again, and the more he felt that this was not a joke, so he dispatched two teams of people to patrol the area near the Black Scale Camp.” Tie Zheng said, “In addition to Cai Feng, Zhantang Zhantou also led a team. We’ll go with people. Cai Feng’s team had already arrived near the Black Scale Camp before it got dark, but to be careful, they were all disguised and cruising nearby.”

Qi Ning nodded slightly, and Tie Zheng continued: “Cai Feng and the others are broken into pieces, search the area to see if there is anything strange, until one of the guards saw Madam Meng’s car, and the guard saw them on the third watch. In the middle of the night, and there are family guards, I immediately found Cai Feng and reported the matter.”

“What happened afterward?”

“Cai Feng learned about this, although he wasn’t sure, but he immediately called his men to catch up with the carriage, and when they caught up with the carriage, the murder happened. Feng and others went up to capture all three murderers.” Tie Zheng’s expression remained unchanged: “Cai Feng found out that the three murderers were soldiers of the Black Scale Battalion. , so the three murderers were brought back to the yamen first.”

Qi Ning frowned and said, “If this is the case, it means that someone has long known about the murder, and deliberately let the people of Kyoto Prefecture capture it on the spot.”

Tie Zheng said: “Xiaguan believes that this is the case. After the murderers were arrested and brought to justice, after interrogation, they identified themselves as soldiers of the Black Scale Battalion. Xiaguan worried that these people were just pretending, not gullible, and sent people to go. The Black Scale Battalion notified this, and by the way confirmed the identities of these three people.”

“The Black Scale Battalion did steal three soldiers.” Duan Canghai said, “This is also my negligence.”

Tie Zheng said: “It’s strange here. Lord Hou, the three soldiers sneaked out of the military camp after dark that day, but this letter was delivered at noon that day. Does the person who wrote the letter have the ability to predict the future? , did you expect the three soldiers to commit the crime? Except for this murder near the Black Scale Camp that day, there was no other case in UU reading www.sonicmtl.com, so the murder referred to in the letter could only refer to the Black Scale Camp. .”

“I do not believe that there is any unpredictable prophetic technique in this world.” Qi Ning sneered: “If this is the case, there can only be one explanation.”

“Master Hou, please enlighten me.”

“The three soldiers who stole out of the barracks did not do so on a whim, but were instructed in advance.” Qi Ning said, “The Black Scale Camp was rebuilt and recruits were recruited. It is very likely that people with ulterior motives had mixed in, and the Marquis failed to be on guard. This is the negligence of the Marquis. On the day of the incident, the three murderers should have been instructed, and they even knew in advance that Meng Guangren’s family members would pass by the Black Scale Camp, so they set up a trap.”

Duan Canghai asked from the side, “Master Hou said that the three of them sneaked out of the military camp to go to the Meng family’s family?”

Qi Ning nodded and said, “When the incident happened, it was Mrs. Meng who wanted to be convenient. It seemed that the three murderers happened to hit him. But now it seems that this is not a coincidence. The three were already ready to intercept the carriage, but It is convenient for Madam Meng to let them do it better.”

“It can be explained like this.” Tie Zheng nodded and said, “But there is another question. If someone carefully planned it, how would they know that Mrs. Meng would rush back to her hometown that night? After the murder was arrested, the big butler of Meng’s house came to Kyoto. After a trip to the government, he learned from his mouth that Mrs. Meng had to rush back because she got a letter from the family at dusk that day. Mr. Meng’s father-in-law was dying. Mrs. Meng was preparing for the wedding of the saint and could not leave. Mrs. Meng also saw the family. After reading the book, I just got the idea to rush back overnight, and even Madam Meng herself didn’t know she would go back overnight.”

Qi Ning was thoughtful, and after a while, he clapped his hands and said, “I see!”
