Chapter 55
The newly appointed Chang'an County Fa Cao Jiwen looked at the corpse in front of him with a gloomy face.
Someone has already judged the other party's identity from the items on the deceased, and now he has sent someone to inform the Xianyi Prince Consort's Mansion, just waiting for the people from the Prince Consort's Mansion to recognize the body.
No matter who this person is from the Prince Consort's Mansion, his death is not a good thing for Ji Wen. He was just transferred to Chang'an County to serve as a law minister because he went out to do something that satisfied the current prime minister Li Linfu, and Li Linfu intended to promote and reuse him.
But Ji Wen also understood that if he wanted to be further promoted and reused, he had to show his talents and be useful to the right prime minister.
"What is the relationship between Li Xiang and Princess Xianyi's house? It is the key to this case!"
Ji Wen stroked his beard and thought expressionlessly. He stood beside the corpse full of flies, as if he was unaware of the stench of the corpse, his eyes focused, as if he was looking for clues to be detected, which made the servants admire him very much: this new Master Fa Cao is really a character.
"Two arrows shot from behind, one arrow breaks the lungs, one arrow penetrates the heart, and the arrow that penetrates the heart is a fatal blow."
The prickly snatched his hand from the untied corpse and reported carefully. Someone next to him recorded the results of the prickly snatch.
"Arrow is the key." Someone was whispering.
Arrows are naturally the key. These two arrows are extremely well-made. They are not those small arrows that are not far-range, which are commonly used by hunters, but long arrows that can be used for strong bows. This is the standard arrow used by the officers and soldiers of the Tang Dynasty, but the tail feathers of this arrow are somewhat different. Ji Wen is an expert in expert and can judge that this arrow should be the arrow used by warriors among the Hu people in the north.
The Hu people shot and killed the officials of Princess Xianyi's mansion in Chang'an County. Among them, they all felt the conspiracy.
"Here, the princess's house manager is here!"
He waited for a while and finally saw someone coming over, and someone knew the horse and shouted. After a while, the man appeared in front of Ji Wen with a calm expression and bowed slightly: "Fa Cao, Yang Jian, the princess's mansion is in charge."
"Does Manager Yang know this person?" Ji Wen raised his chin.
"Yang Fu is also the manager of the Princess' Mansion." Yang Jian just glanced at it: "Two days ago, I left the city with someone and said I was going to see the village outside the city, and then there was no news."
"Who is it with people?
"The man claimed to be a scholar who went to Beijing to take the exam in Yangzhou. His surname was Wang, his name was Qi Nian, and his courtesy name was Xinzhi."
"Wang Qinian..."
This name is so popular that Ji Wen feels very familiar. He seems to have seen it in many places, and he seems to be everywhere.
"Since Yang Fu is the manager of the noble lord's mansion, how can he make friends with scholars from Yangzhou, and how can he go out of the city to see a village with him?"
Ji Wen asked almost habitually, Yang Jian's face darkened. The Chang'an County Dharma Cao was really eye-catching. How could he be asked at will! But when he thought of the prince-consort's order before he came, he forced his anger: "Wang Qinian rented Yang Fu's outer house. When he came, the prince-consort sent someone to Yang Fu's outer house to see, but the person was gone."
Ji Wen cursed, it was obvious that it was a scammer who deceived Yang Fu out of Chang'an City and then committed the murder. As for how the scammers colluded with the Hu people in the north, that was the next problem to be solved. He glanced at the servants around him and saw the people shrinking their necks and brains, and felt irritated.
After asking a few more questions, he couldn't get any favorable clues. Ji Wen decided to go back to the city and take a look.
The group entered Chang'an City from Yanping Gate. Just when the city gate was looking at it, Ji Wen saw a group of men playing football in the field beside the road. He frowned. At this time, someone among the men shouted, "Hao Qi, are you on duty today?"
Hao Qi was just a slap, because the activities he was engaged in were really bad, so he rarely had friends. Hearing the man shouting, Hao Qi raised his head and said in a hoarse voice: "With the case, it is naturally worth it. Cat, when will you change to play football and stop playing with birds?"
"Playing with your mother's bird, grandpa, I've now kicked your uncle's ball." The man known as a cat laughed loudly, his bald head was particularly conspicuous.
"Who is it?" Jiwen asked.
"Now there are merchants in the city who invest 500 yuan. They want to run a football league, and each party will produce one. Therefore, many rogues regard this as a livelihood. The person who spoke was Jia Maoer, who was originally a husband in our Chang'an County government office. Now he has quit playing football. He is almost forty years old and has an old mother at home, but he has not married yet, so he actually does this."
The servant who wanted to flatter him whispered about Jia Maoer's situation, and finally added that Jia Maoer was the relative of Jia Chang, a cock-fighting prodigy. This news slowed down Ji Wen's gloomy face slightly. He also squeezed a smile to Jia Maoer who was looking here.
"You are almost forty now, and you still jump a ball, you're almost the same as being kicked by the ball." Hao Qi said.
"I can't play on the court at 40, but I can be a coach. I play Cuju well and know how to fight cocks. The principles of playing football and fighting cocks are interrelated."
"Then you don't mess around in the western city, why do you come outside this city?"
Hao Qi's question came out casually, but Ji Wen's pupils suddenly shrank.
Indeed, why do these rogues fail to play football in the West Market or the surrounding open spaces, and have to run out of the city?
"The city is so hot that it's so hot, how can it compare to this place? If it's hot, just go to the water and take a shower."
The place where they played football was indeed very close to the water, and there were mountains to the west, blocking the afternoon sun, so it was cooler. Ji Wen was not a person who could easily believe it. He gave a low command: "Let those who have seen Wang Xinzhi recognize whether there are Wang Xinzhi's companions among these players."
The officer was his confidant. He slipped away quietly when he heard this. Ji Wen was not in a hurry to go back, so he pretended to watch the ball and stayed there. Immediately, he noticed someone: "Huh!"
Ye Chang smiled at him and bowed from afar, while Shanzhi beside Ye Chang stared at him angrily.
These two people were actually here, which made Ji Wen's heart suddenly become suspicious. He went out to do something for Li Linfu, and confirmed whether there was a gold mine in Huashan. After the matter was completed, Li Linfu transferred him to Chang'an County to serve as a law caucasian. From Xinfengcheng to Chang'an law caucasian, it seemed that the transfer was even or even slightly reduced, but in fact it was transferred from a foreign official to a capital position. And just under Li Linfu's eyes, it was much easier to promote it.
When he met at the middle school, Ji Wen believed that Shanzhi was the murderer who killed his ward. As a result, Mrs. Chen, who was beside Mrs. Gongsun, was in charge of his crime. With Mrs. Gongsun's guarantee, Ji Wen could only let Mrs. Chen surrender to Beihai - this was also the result of his important matters and unwilling to cause trouble. But at that time, he looked at Ye Chang and Shanzhi.
"Ye Chang...Ye Chang... It turns out that Ye Shiyilang is the 'the sunset is infinitely good'." Ji Wen walked over slowly, pursed his lips and smiled, which made his eagle-hook nose more obvious. In his gloomy eyes, it seemed like a vulture saw food.
Ye Chang didn't expect to meet Ji Wen here.
This is Li Linfu's right-hand man, a famous cruel official in the Tang Dynasty. It feels very bad to be targeted by him.
He and Jia Maoer have been playing football here these days to facilitate entry and exit of Chang'an City, and are still here after the matter is done. On the one hand, it is to avoid suspicion, and on the other hand, it is also to find out the movements of the government here. However, no matter how rich Ye Chang's imagination is, he would never have expected that his acquaintance Ji Wen would become a Chang'an County Law Cause and were ordered to investigate Yang Fu's murder case.
"How can Mr. Ji have some leisure?" Although he muttered in his heart, Ye Chang still saluted Ji Wen on the surface and said politely: "I wonder if Mr. Ji is willing to kick him a few times?"
"I won't go to kick it anymore, but... Will Langjun Ye want to go with me?"
Ye Chang suddenly felt a sudden stern. He took a towel from the monk and wiped the sweat stains on his body, using this action to conceal his anxiety.
Could this Ji Wen be... doubting himself?
"I wonder what Ji Gong ordered?" My thoughts turned and he came to Ji Wen, followed Ji Wen and took a slow walk around the stadium.
"Ji knows his own nature and is disgusting. On the way back to Chang'an, he has had a conflict with Ye Langjun... People like Ji are afraid of avoiding him wherever they go, but Ye Langjun does not care about past grudges and takes the initiative to greet Ji."
Ji Wen said slowly, smiling again on his face, but Ye Chang's heart sank.
He understood what his flaw was.
Who would be willing to take the initiative to greet someone like Ji Wen? Just like Shanzhi, staring at him with a big angrily eyes. It is actually abnormal to laugh and salute him like himself!
Things are abnormal and will be evil!
"If it were others, it could be said that because Ji was an official, the people were the people. When the people saw the official, they had to pay tribute and salute, and only then could they be at ease. But you are Ye Langjun, who is famous in Chang'an. Even I, a small official who had just arrived in Chang'an for a long time, also heard that Ye Langjun had two vitality, five poems moved Princess Yuzhen, and football dramas were popular in Chang'an City. With Princess Yuzhen, Princess He Zhizhang and others, how could you smile at me, Chang'an County Fa Cao?"
Speaking of this, Ji Wen's smile turned into a ferocious smile: "Ye Langjun, Ye Chang! I said at the beginning that you must be an illegal person. Now I still want to say that you, an illegal person, will eventually fall into my hands!"
Ye Chang's heart was surging: I didn't expect that just a small matter would make Ji Wen come up with so much content!
He was really careless, or, after hitting Yuan Zai and Lu Qi's face turned into a football game and avenged his brother initially, he was too arrogant and underestimated the heroes of the world at this time.
Although Yuan Zai and Lu Qi became more famous later than Ji Wen, they still lacked experience and had not reached the height they could reach in their original history. However, Ji Wen had been experienced for many years, and was deeply scheming and terrible. They were completely beyond the reach of a sincere person like He Zhizhang and Zhang Xu!
His heart was pounding, and his first thought was to ask the monk to come and get Ji Wen to silence him, but this place was not a wilderness forest, but a traffic outside Chang'an City was a must-have, and there were so many people coming and going!
The second thought was to run away. The monk was very loyal and would definitely help him block the pursuers. For a while, Ji Wen and his gang would definitely not be able to catch up with him. But Ye Chang understood in a blink of an eye: Where can he escape from the world?
"Ye didn't understand what Mr. Ji said..."
No matter how he was ready to deal with it, he could not remain silent all the time. Therefore, Ye Chang's thoughts were on the verge of the sound of the word. While talking, he paid attention to Ji Wen, but found that when he looked at him, Ji Wen turned his head, as if he was deliberately avoiding it.
"Why did he avoid it? Yes, yes, what he said just now was just his guess and reasoning. He had no real evidence at all. Moreover, he was afraid that he would not have thought of Yang Fu's death as I thought of, he was just cheating me!"
"As he said, now I am in Chang'an City, and I am a celebrity of all sizes. Not to mention He Zhizhang behind it, Zhang Xu valued it, even Princess Yuzhen, Twenty-Nine Niang and other royal nobles are also famous. What's more, the city's powerful people are planning to build football teams, and many people are waiting to ask me to help with the construction. If he had real evidence, he would have ordered the officers to arrest people. Because there was no real evidence, he came to cheat me!"
After consciously guessing Ji Wen's thoughts, Ye Chang smiled bitterly: "Mr. Ji thought I was, and the entanglement with Ji Gong on the road was due to misunderstanding. Ji Gong was devoted to the court. Although I was not talented, I was not the kind of person who forgot justice because of small grievances."
This made Ji Wen's face twitch. He knew that after Ye Chang chanted "The sunset is extremely beautiful, but it's almost dusk", He Zhizhang, who had always taken care of him, directly claimed that he was sick and stopped talking.
"What's more, although I was lucky enough to be famous in the capital and I was valued by all the nobles, it was not that I had any skills, it was just that I loved me by all the nobles. If I didn't know how to advance and retreat, and I was arrogant and neglected by this, it would not only disappoint you, but also bring disaster to myself. Ji Gong... is not a generous elder."
When this sentence was said, Ji Wen was not angry, but laughed: "It's no wonder that Princess Yuzhen calls you a wonderful person. Sure enough, it's a wonderful person!"
As soon as he finished speaking, the smile on his face was completely removed, and he returned to the coldness of the Yinqiu. He lowered his voice and said in Ye Chang's ears: "I will bring you to justice one day!"
His suspicion of Ye Chang was not weakened at all. On the contrary, he became more and more convinced that Ye Chang must be an illegal person. Even if he was not today, he would become a traitor and evil person in the future!
After saying that, he turned around and left, but shook his eyes at a confidant. The confidant knew it and only thought he was interested in football. He stayed there, and the rest followed him and returned to Chang'an City.
Ye Chang looked at his back and frowned: It seems... he can't stay for so long in Chang'an.
As long as you stay in Chang'an, you must deal with Ji Wen. Being stared at by this poisonous snake is not a pleasant thing.
You have to leave Chang'an as soon as possible!
