Chapter 112
Lan Jue was about to look shocked incredible, but for some reason, Zhang Ping was standing there, and he couldn't take off his face so shamelessly, so he modified it and turned into extremely shocked and unbelievable inside, but only a slight expression appeared on his face.
Judging from the look of Eunuch Wang responding to his gaze, this effect seems to be better.
Eunuch Wang closed his eyes: "Yes. Our family wants to find a way to put the incense matter on hold. The small order was sent out by our family, but even if our family is cut into pieces ten thousand times, we will never dare to burn the incense matters of the Queen Mother. Our family just wants the small order to make some tricks..."
The little eunuch kowtowed desperately again: "Mr. The prefect, two ministers. Our father-in-law really has only one loyalty to the Empress Dowager! The little..."
The king interrupted his words: "Let our family say it! Our family asks Lord Feng to think about it. If the Queen Mother's rituals are damaged, who is the first thing to do? No matter which responsibilities it is, our family's head will have to move! No matter what our family does, we will never dare to rituals! In addition, the mountain will burn, and our family has been in the county government and the temple. Can we still fly to the mountain to arrange a party in a short time?"
The little eunuch looked up again: "Mr., sir, everything is obsessed with. When I saw that my father-in-law couldn't eat or sleep well in order to keep incense, he thought... and wanted to... make some tricks..."
Wang Yan said: "Then do you go and set the fire?"
The little eunuch kowtowed again: "I will never dare, Lord Minister! If something happens to the ritual, my father-in-law will be unable to save his life, and we little slaves will all be torn to pieces. My master is a trick, and after some tricks in elementary school, he just wants to trick some tricks, and make some clouds and shadows, which seem to be supernatural and not to burn incense, so he secretly left the inn. The yamen is so strict, how can I get through? I originally planned to do things in the alley behind the county government.
.Who knew that as soon as he arrived there, someone was knocked unconscious. When he woke up, the county yard was just smoking. I was afraid that when I went back, others would suspect me, so I pretended to have come to the yamen to put out the fire. Who knew that the prefect was very careful and checked the time and route of the servant entering the yamen. Then I found out that the servant sneaked out. But I was definitely not a murderer in the setting fire. The trick was stuffed under the bed. If you don’t believe that the servant could take it, I would treat it as a demonstration..."
Feng Tai and Wang Yan both pondered and said nothing. Eunuch Wang said hoarsely: "You are so evil, you'll kill me!" Feng Tai sneered.
The little eunuch kowtowed harder, saying that he was obsessed with the wickedness.
At this moment, the door of the hall suddenly rang twice, and Feng Tai said with a sound of entering. A guard hurried in. After politely, he arrived at the case and whispered to Feng Tai.
Feng Tai looked at Zhang Ping: "Magistrate Zhang, what's going on when you asked the yamen runners to catch someone in the street?"
Wang Yan said: "Oh, I finally arrived. The headquarters happened to meet them when they were on the road. It was so difficult to catch someone."
Zhang Ping frowned and walked to the hall: "Report to the master, the official thinks that this person is suspicious."
Feng Tai said: "What's suspicious?"
Zhang Ping lowered his head and said, "The official thinks that there may be someone else who arsons."
Eunuch Wang looked up at Zhang Ping, his eyes full of surprise.
Feng Tai narrowed his eyes and before he could speak, Zhang Ping said again: "The Xiaguan said it may be, but there is no evidence to confirm it. It is indeed the Xiaguan's speculation."
Feng Tai's face was gloomy. Before he could speak, Wang Yan spoke first: "Presumably, it is also a step in determining the case. How did you push it? Let's listen?"
Zhang Ping still said in a flat tone: "The official thinks that the purpose of the arsonist is a bit strange. Fires occurred on the mountain and the yamen, and the yamen are not very much."
Wang Yan said: "The mountain is not big. A piece of grass and a few trees are burned."
Zhang Ping said: "Well, the one who caught fire at the yamen was an incense and ceremonial warrior. Only some curtains were burned, and even the prayer flags were not damaged."
Wang Yan said: "Ah, this can be said to be the blessing of the Empress Dowager, and it can also be regarded as someone setting fire but not daring to burn important things."
Eunuch Wang trembled again.
Zhang Ping said: "So the officials think that on the surface, it is easy to speculate that someone in the government is taking action."
Wang Yan nodded: "Yes, it seems that someone wants to use the reason for catching fire, and the Empress Dowager's incense is temporarily staying. Lord Feng, Eunuch Wang and everyone in the county government are suspected. The headquarters stayed at the foot of the mountain yesterday, and I am afraid that it will not be related to the fire on the mountain."
Zhang Ping said: "However, just as Eunuch Wang said..."
Wang Yan interrupted him: "In short, the fact is that the fire in the yamen must not be opened by Lord Feng, Eunuch Wang or you Zhang Ping. It is even more impossible for the headquarters to set fire on the mountain. So you infer that the arsonist intentionally made us strife and delay the investigation of the case."
Zhang Ping nodded, and when he was about to speak, Wang Yan said again: "And then you guessed that the arsonist wanted to see if the yamen was really fighting in the internal strife and would definitely return to the scene. So you let someone follow him secretly?"
Zhang Ping nodded again: "Yes."
Feng Tai said coldly: "Shilarious Minister Wang knew Zhang's heart. He joined together, and he was all right."
Wang Yan smiled and said, "Old Feng, don't be so sad. This is something you can see through at a glance. The headquarters doesn't want to listen to it too much."
Feng Tai narrowed his eyes again: "Magistrate Zhang, after you imagined these things, you asked the yamen runners to arrest people on the street?"
Zhang Ping bowed again: "Return to the words of the Lord, the lower officials also felt that the sacrifice ceremony was fired on the mountain and the arson might be related to the case being investigated. Judging from the corpses on the top of the mountain and the stolen books by Mr. Yao's family, the murderer was a man who believed in Feng Shui. The incense ceremonies caught fire, and the precious things were almost not damaged. One was that the murderer was in order to blame others, and the other was that the murderer was also very superstitious and unwilling to damage too much? As Lord Wang said, the lower officials speculated that the murderer would have to return to the scene. So the lower officials..."
Lan Jue spoke in a gentle voice: "It turns out that County Magistrate Zhang still did not forget to investigate the case when he was celebrating disasters and praying for blessings and rituals. He was really determined."
Zhang Ping looked up at Lan Jue.
Feng Tai sneered in his heart again. The one named Lan felt that he was so obedient that he could stop him quickly. He didn't let the second Lengzi tell the fact that he was fake and he would be done together.
"So you sent someone to stare at the blessing rituals, and follow people secretly when you see something strange, right?"
Zhang Ping nodded: "Sir, right."
But the fact is that Wumei did many things wrong in doing the ritual. Ordinary people only watched the excitement, but those who truly understand the Tao can tell at a glance.
Since this person is extremely superstitious, the government will do things like this and will not be able to bear it. More or less, there will be any expression in his expression.
Feng Tai said: "The county magistrate Zhang, how can you tell our government that in addition to your imagination, there is any real evidence that can allow you to capture a good citizen from the street and return to the yamen?"
Zhang Ping lowered his head: "Secretary, there is no evidence that he can convict this person for the time being."
Feng Tai attacked the table: "Bastard! Do you dare to arrest people at will without any evidence? Which law in the court is right for you to act so recklessly?!"
Zhang Ping knelt down silently.
Wang Yan glanced at him and said, "I saw that the yamen runners who were holding people were wearing casual clothes. It seems that magistrate Zhang didn't ask them to get people at first. Later, he caught this person, or for other reasons, why should I ask the yamen runners to ask?"
Feng Tai said with a blank expression: "Why is it that the yamen servants do not wear public uniforms when they are on duty?"
Zhang Ping said: "It was the official who issued an order to let them take care of themselves and make it easier to follow."
Feng Tai stared at his head with a cold look: "This can be considered evidence collection, but it cannot be excused for the matter of being a person in the street for no reason. This mansion will keep you on top of the black veil for the time being. After asking those yamen runners, you will make a decision. You are no longer worthy of standing in this hall, so get out."
Zhang Ping saluted silently and left the hall door.
The sun was just right outside, and he walked through the yard silently, sat down by the stone table under a big tree, staring at the floor tiles in a daze.
After a while, a figure fell on the corner of his robe. Zhang Ping turned his head and stood up: "Sir."
Lan Jue walked to the stone bench on the other side of the stone table and sat down: "The hall involved some details of the case, but it was inconvenient to hear much about it, so he came out first. Why are you sitting here? I even thought you were going to go to the trial before the arrested person was released. But you were not allowed to go?"
Zhang Ping said: "No, the students are thinking about how to judge."
Lan Jue said in a gentle voice: "Although I don't know how to investigate the case, you asked the constable who followed me to wear casual clothes. I thought I didn't want to arrest anyone."
Zhang Ping said: "Actually, the student thought that he might arrest people. He also told the constable that he could arrest him if necessary."
A fire broke out on the top of the mountain and the yamen, indicating that there was more than one criminal.
Follow one person or find clues about other criminals.
But Zhang Ping could only move the county yard's constable. The county town was so big that everyone recognized the constable in the yamen. I'm afraid the more disguised the passers-by knew that they were investigating the case, the faster they were exposed. Zhang Ping could only set up a countercondom accordingly, so that the constables could follow in casual clothes without having to hide too much. Once the suspect found out that he was being followed, in desperation, he might take some measures to notify his accomplices.
Feng Tai wanted to ask the constables about arresting people, and several constables had already gone to the inner hall. Zhang Ping saw that the constables he sent were all there.
In other words, they only followed one person.
Just now in the hall, Wang Yan said that the constables arrested people very hard. That was not because the criminals were indeed exposed, but because of other reasons.
Such reasons can only be detained for a while.
Whether this person is the criminal is still not sure. It will not take long.
Is it a trial or not? How to examine it?
Lan Jue said: "But your original intention is not to arrest, but to follow. Only arrest when you have a reason to arrest, right?"
Zhang Ping nodded.
Lan Jue said: "That's not to arrest people for no reason. Lord Feng also said that if you just ask for followers, you are collecting evidence. There is no need to worry."
Moreover, when Feng Tai nodded and asked Zhang Ping to do the ritual, he must have felt that Eunuch Wang could not burn sacrifices by himself, and there was someone else to set fire to him, and he had already seen Zhang Ping's intention.
Just now, Feng Tai seemed sharp, but in fact he was pursuing why Zhang Ping wanted to catch the person back.
I won’t say these Lanjue out loud.
Zhang Ping looked at the ground with his eyes hanging down: "What Mr. Feng blamed is indeed the students' lack. Students may not be worthy of investigating the case and wearing this official uniform."
