Chapter 212

Fang Kuan was stunned for a moment, and could not think of what level of a person who was even bigger than Zhao Gao. There were many officials in the Qin Dynasty, but Zhao Gao was the closest person to the emperor. He was really at a very high position, and he was even higher than his status. Could it be... Fang Kuan suddenly thrust his whole body, feeling like he fell into an ice hole, and he stammered: "Is it Li Si?"

"No, let's go to see the county magistrate together. He needs his help to get an idea about this matter!" Chen Xu shook his head, so the three of them rode their horses straight to the yard behind the county government.

"Why are you looking for me so late?" Jiang Beiting, who received the report, walked out of the inner courtyard with his clothes and head crown, then saw Chen Xu and Yu Wuya standing next to him, and said for a moment, "Hey, why did you suddenly appear in the city?"

"Mr. Jiang, a murder case occurred in Qinghe Town. I came here to report it!" Chen Xu bowed slightly and said.

"Murder case?" Jiang Beiting was stunned for a moment and nodded and said, "Has the murderer been caught?"

"It has been caught and is now detained in Qinghe Town Health Center!"

"Just catch it. The murderer asked You Jiao Liu Po ​​to transfer the escort to the county government office tomorrow. Why do you have to go there if it's so late? Since you're here, let me go in and explain it in detail!" Jiang Beiting felt that Chen Xu was a little bit terrible, but when he thought that Chen Xu was young, he might be a little panicked when encountering a murder case, so he walked with some relief and said, "There is no need to report it immediately when encountering such a thing. Catch the murderer, interrogate the cause, and handle the aftermath of the deceased. It's not too late to report it when all the cooking is stopped!"

Chen Xu followed behind without saying a word, walked into the living room and sat down, Chen Xu said to Yu Wuya: "Wuya is optimistic about the outside, no one is allowed to get close to you!"

Chen Xu's words made Jiang Beiting and Fang Kuan feel incomprehensible at the same time. After Yu Wuya went out, Jiang Beiting picked up his beard and said with a serious expression: "Chen Lidian, why are you?"

"Don't blame me, the mastermind of this murder case is very big. If it is not handled properly, it may cause another huge disaster!" Chen Xu said with a wry smile.

"Is it Zhao Gao?" Jiang Beiting's first reaction was almost exactly the same as Fang Kuan, and the first thing he thought of was Zhao Gao.

"No, the mastermind of the murder this time was Meng Yun, the son of the censor Meng Yi..."

"What?" Jiang Beiting exclaimed and suddenly stood up, holding a few beards that were pulled off his chin in his hand, but he felt unscathed.

Fang Kuan, however, tilted his butt and sat directly on the ground. The teacup he grabbed in his hand also fell to the ground with a clang and rolled into the middle of the living room, his face completely dull.

"Censor... Meng Yi... How could his son run to Qinghe Town to kill people?" Jiang Beiting sat down expressionlessly after murmured for a long time, and then asked after a long silence: "Who did he kill? So what's the situation now?"

"A subordinate of Meng Yun killed a helper in a workshop in the town, injured Youjiao Liu Po, and then aroused public anger and was besieged by hundreds of villagers. However, the murderer was powerful and had swords. Many villagers were injured in the melee..."

"Tell me the point?" Jiang Beiting didn't want to listen to Chen Xu's nonsense.

"Meng Yun fainted from fright, four subordinates were seriously injured and unconscious, and Ma Teng was beaten a little miserably by the villagers!"

"Ma Teng? Who?" Jiang Beiting asked in a daze.

"It's the nephew of the county magistrate Ma Boyuan, the one who planned to rob the summer grain tax with Zhao Zhe last time!" Chen Xu said speechlessly.

"It's him? Why did he get involved with Meng Yi's son again?" Jiang Beiting was also speechless.

"I haven't asked about this yet. I think Meng Yun came to Nanyang to play after hearing about the disciples of the Immortal Family and then met in Wancheng. After all, they had to have a relationship with the Meng family. They didn't have a certain status and looked down on them!" Chen Xu said for granted.

"It is not necessarily true that Ma Boyuan's grandfather Ma Boyuan's grandfather Ma Boyuan was an old acquaintance with the prime minister Lu Buwei. At that time, Lu Buwei was a merchant, in order to meet Yangquanjun, Ma Boluo made a connection with him. Then Lu Buwei met Mrs. Huayang through Yangquanjun and accepted Yiren as his adopted son. With the relationship between Mrs. Huayang, An Guojun made Yiren the crown prince after ascending the throne. There is no need to mention the details of this. Because of this, Ma Boluo was taken care of by Lu Buwei. After Yiren ascended the throne, he was awarded the position of Ma Boluo as the nine ministers. The Ma family was also prosperous and wealthy. Ma Boyuan had been serving in Xianyang for only four years and had been working in Xianyang. It was not surprising that Ma Teng and Meng Yun had known each other for a long time!" Jiang Beiting's face slowly returned to calm when he spoke.

"Mr. Jiang, what should Meng Yun be punished for indulging his subordinates to commit murder?" Chen Xu couldn't help asking.

"It is a death sentence for killing civilians at will, but the murderer is Meng Yun's servant. Therefore, Meng Yun's responsibility can be big or small. This time, there is no civil chaos. Therefore, the guilt is very small and can almost be ignored. If you want to attack this, it may not work. Besides, the Meng family's military achievements are great, and Meng Yi is highly valued by Your Majesty. Meng Yun can still be avoided even if he commits a crime. Besides, even if the servant commits a crime, even if this matter is in the Xianyang court, he will be scolded by Your Majesty at most and then left unresolved!" Jiang Beiting looked at Chen Xu helplessly when he said this, "I'm afraid you will be in trouble this time!"

"Ah?" Chen Xu opened his mouth wide and was stunned for a while, his face full of depression, and at the same time he couldn't help but tremble. Fortunately, he was stopped by Yu Wuya and killed Meng Yun in anger, otherwise he would have to wait to die.

"That... Lord Jiang, Xu, please give me some advice on a clear path, I am so grateful!" Chen Xu woke up and hurriedly bowed with a dry smile.

"Why did Meng Yun kill a helper in the workshop? Could it be that the two sides had a conflict? What is the production in the workshop? You have many workshops in Qinghe Town. Which one is it?" Jiang Beiting asked.

"Well, it's a papermaking workshop. Meng Yun led people into the papermaking workshop to ask about the papermaking method. The helpers didn't tell me, so they killed Niu Xiaosi, the helper in the papermaking workshop. When Xu arrived, Niu Xiaosi was dead, and You Jiao Liu Po ​​was also injured by Meng Yun's servants. Xu had no choice but to arrest them all, but several of them were injured by villagers and were still being treated and supervised in the health center. Because Meng Yun's special identity, Xu quickly came to the county government to report to the two adults, hoping to get a solution to this matter, otherwise if the matter is big, trouble will follow..." Chen Xu explained helplessly.

"Vice Fang, what do you think should be dealt with?" Jiang Beiting turned to look at Fang Kuan and asked.

"It's hard to deal with, and it's easy to talk about the murderer. After the prison is arrested, it's not an exaggeration to report the county magistrate to the death. But Meng Yun, as the son of the Censor, has very little involvement in it, and we can't even touch him at all!" Fang Kuan had no initial fear at this time, and shook his head and sighed.

He sat next to him and had already heard clearly that this matter had nothing to do with him and had nothing to do with the last incident. Therefore, at most he could only gloat in watching Chen Xu fall into this pit and flutter. Whether he could get up depends on Chen Xu's luck, or even Jiang Beiting's attitude. Moreover... Fang Kuan secretly glanced at Jiang Beiting who was thinking. His butt was not completely wiped clean last time. I am afraid that for his own safety, Jiang Beiting would not stand up for Chen Xu this time. Shangqing of the level of the Censor is no longer something that Jiang can compete with.

Sure enough, Jiang Beiting shook his head after half a minute of silence: "Chen Lidian, this matter is difficult to deal with. Now there are only two laws that can be feasible. Because there are murder cases, the first law is that we will handle it impartially in accordance with the Qin Dynasty's laws and orders, and the arrest of the murderer will be severely punished. As for Meng Yun, he can only scold him and let him go. Look..."

"No, no!" Chen Xu shook his head like a rattle. If he had just done it lightly, I would have done it in Qinghe Town. Why risk running to the county town at night? On the way we came just now, the roars of various beasts could be heard everywhere, and the horses were almost intimidated.

"The second method is to reach an understanding with Meng Yun. We will not pursue the murderer. The dead helper will compensate for more money and food, and then record it as a dead population. This matter will naturally disappear."

"How can I understand him?" Chen Xu asked with a bitter face. At the beginning, Niu Xiaosi was killed. He was indeed extremely angry and wanted to cut Meng Yun and others into pieces. But after hearing about Meng Yun's identity, he immediately felt that he should hold his tail up first, and he also felt that Niu Xiaosi must have died in vain this time, and there was no place in Daqin who wanted to find a place to reason.

Follow the first method of Jiangbeiting, take the regular legal route and arrest the murderer and punish them strictly, but Meng Yun will not have anything to do. He can clean this matter in one go. The servant killed himself, and he didn't have time to stop it. Anyway, this servant is about to be beaten to death, so I will cut it into pieces. But this breath, hum, sooner or later, will be reported. So by chance, Chen Xu was beaten to death by a group of people with their heads and faces and threw the body on the river beach.

As for obtaining Meng Yun's understanding, it seems very difficult. As the highest level of the playboy class in the Qin Dynasty, Meng Yun was ravaged by Chen Xu and like a pig's head. What price does it take to get his understanding? Is it...

Chen Xu thought of it and immediately took a deep breath and then sucked his cheeks a few times.

"Do you understand?" Jiang Beiting picked up the teacup and sucked it gently. He knew that Chen Xu had already understood the core of the second method.

As an official of the Qin Dynasty, he does have the obligation and right to maintain the majesty of Qin law, but if this matter is really handled according to the Qin law, Chen Xu will inevitably fall into a serious crisis in the end, and there will be no slightest left in the crushed bones. Meng Yi has a majestic personality and Ren Jingfu has never made any mistakes. He is completely a guillotine in the hands of the emperor. He squats on the heads of all officials of the Qin Dynasty all day long to watch, and see which one can be chopped off. Therefore, no official dares to offend him, let alone have any contempt. He accidentally gets the handle and will never turn around in his life. Although Jiang Beiting is optimistic about Chen Xu, he also thinks that he is a talent for being a plasticity and is even more willing to give him the daughter that others don’t want to, but facing a person that the Jiang family cannot compete with, he will never use the entire Jiang family to make such fearless bets.

Moreover, this matter is not unsolvable. Based on Chen Xu's intelligence, he will definitely figure out the joints in it instantly, and there is only one choice.

"My... understand!" After a long time, Chen Xu nodded with gritted teeth.
