Chapter 54 The Clues
It was bright and Jiang Anyi slept beautifully for a while. At this time, Governor Feng returned to the government office with his people exhausted. The change last night was changed. Early in the morning, the government office was filled with officials of all sizes and big and small, talking and inquiring about the news.
Governor Feng sat down in the middle of the lobby, and all the officials came forward to pay homage. Everyone looked up and saw that Governor looked as if they were ashen, and they all felt dark in their hearts. They dared not speak for fear of being bad.
Feng Shaojun was very depressed. After a melee, he killed twenty-seven Yuantian sect bandits, captured eleven people, and fled a few. Fifteen soldiers he brought were killed and more than thirty people were injured. The most important thing was that the chief culprit Guo Jingshan ran away, and half of the great contribution he received flew away.
Captain Qin stepped forward to sue the order. Zhang Hongchong, Zhang Bojin and several servants were arrested and temporarily detained in prison. Many people knew Zhang Hongchong. When they heard that he was arrested, everyone was shocked and looked at each other, with fear in their eyes.
Feng Shaojun was cheering up and briefly introduced the incident of discovering that Yuantian Sect was inappropriate and that he and Shang Sima had quelled the chaos overnight. Everyone was shocked. Unexpectedly, Yuantian Sect was lurking in Wenping Mansion, and Guo Jingshan and Zhang Hongchong were both acquaintances.
Wang Xinggao, the Sihu Army (also known as the military affairs officer), replied respectfully: "Sir, according to what you said, the first culprit Guo Jingshan escaped, and some Yuantian sect bandits were not caught. Do you want to close the city gate and search the city?"
Governor Feng shook his head and scolded: "I'm confused, the provincial examination is about to be held. There are constant candidates coming to take the exam. At this time, closing the city gates will cause panic. In this way, fifty soldiers from each of the four city gates will conduct strict inspections and preventions, and send a hundred people to patrol the city wall day and night. Guo Jingshan and others will not have the opportunity to escape from Wenping Mansion. Don't relax in the city. Wang Chanjun, you send yamen runners to investigate along the streets and notify the people to assist the government in arresting fugitives. The whistleblowers will reward them with heavy rewards. If there is any concealment and failure to report, the same crime will be given to the fugitives."
With the sound of boots, the three of them walked into the lobby, pressed their knife with their right hand, stalking with their heads raised, wearing green clothes, embroidered with blushes, and were decorated with fire clouds around them. The three of them arrived in front of the case of governor Feng, and said to the leader: "Yang Shaoliang, the governor of Longwei Prefecture, met the governor."
Feng Shaojun owed his body, which was considered a return of the gift. Although Longweizhou Tong is a sixth rank, Feng Shaojun dared not underestimate him at all.
The Longwei Mansion of the Great Zheng, the Duke of the Prefecture is the Qiansui of King Ning, and the chief and deputy chief magistrates. Under the commander and deputy chief magistrates are the fifth-rank governors. Miss Xinfei, who once came to Dezhou, is one of the four governors. Under the governors, there are eight governors, and the prefectures of each prefecture are at the same level as the prefectures of each prefecture. There are also Dianjie, official magistrate, guard, Lishi and others. Only the emperor and Ningwang know how many people there are in the entire Longwei.
Yang Shaoliang said loudly: "Mr. Feng, the incident happened suddenly. Can you tell me the story to the officials?" The matter was confidential. Feng Shaojun took Yang Shaoliang out of the lobby to the flower hall, handed Yang Shaoliang the report letter and wooden sign to Yang Shaoliang, and told him the situation in detail.
There was no one else in the flower hall, and Yang Shaoliang said bluntly: "Mr. Feng, you should notify Long Wei immediately when you receive the letter. How could Guo Jingshan and others escape if we were present?"
If this is an ordinary official, it would be unimaginable to speak to a fourth-rank official in a tone. However, Longwei inspected and arrested illegal people and also had the responsibility of supervising all officials. Officials under the fourth-rank can be arrested first, which is extremely powerful.
Although Feng Shaojun was unhappy, he did not dare to show his face. He explained with a wry smile: "I am afraid that it is a false accusation, which is not beautiful to alarm Long Wei. When I arrived at the Guo family, I saw that there was defense in the house, so I immediately ordered someone to notify Long Wei. Unexpectedly, the thief was fierce and so many officers and soldiers could not hold them. It was because I was careless. Brother Yang, you should take care of him."
Yang Shaoliang's tone calmed down and said with a smile: "When the officials came, they had already sent out their personnel. I believe there will be rewards soon. The Lord of the Secretariat has arrived on his way to receive the report. It is estimated that he will arrive at Wenping Mansion tomorrow morning. There are still a few hours left. Master Feng will work hard to make the matter perfectly resolved before the Lord of the Secretariat comes. Don't forget to give me the reward according to the merits."
"You are welcome, this contribution is naturally bound to you, brother." The two of them smiled at each other.
Jiang Anyi didn't know what happened in the government office. After breakfast, he rode charcoal to pick up Guo Huaili. When he left the city gate, he checked it very carefully. He searched the person for his body and it took him a long time to let him go.
When he was about to arrive in Guojiazhuang, he saw the officers and soldiers escorting a long group of people to Wenping Mansion. Laer and his daughter cried loudly. He said that this was his own sin. Jiang Anyi couldn't bear to be noticed and turned his head past. He hoped that Governor Feng could distinguish right from wrong and let innocent people go.
As soon as he approached the village, he saw Guo Huaili jumping out of the forest beside the village, raising his hands and shouting: "Xiaojiang, Xiaojiang, here."
Jiang Anyi jumped off his horse near, and Guo Huaili asked nervously: "How is it? I was so worried that I couldn't sleep that night. I'll wait for you here as soon as the sky dawns."
"It's okay." Jiang Anyi briefly wrote a letter to complain. Now the government is arresting Guo Jingshan and others and told Guo Huaili: "Brother Guo, this matter is of great importance. You have to keep your mouth tight, and you can't even say it. Otherwise, if you get involved in the Yuan Tian Sect, your life will be difficult to protect."
Guo Huaili shivered, nodded repeatedly, and said, "I won't say anything if I beat you to death."
Jiang Anyi thought about it and said that it was not suitable to stay in the place of right and wrong for a long time, so he simply went to the escort shop to ask two people to protect him and go home. Guo Huaili was also scared and nodded in agreement.
Seeing that Jiang Anyi was going to invite someone, Guo Huaili hurriedly said, "Just go and invite someone, we have a carriage." As he said that, he pointed to the forest. The carriage they snatched yesterday was still parked there.
When he arrived at the store to get the things, Jiang Anyi told the shopkeeper that he had paid the money and Guo Huaili had been put back, asking him not to talk too much. The shopkeeper wanted no one to know, so he naturally agreed and told Brother San that he would not talk too much after getting the money.
After seeing Guo Huaili away, Jiang Anyi had no worries anymore and was at ease to study and prepare for the exam in the inn without giving up.
The next day, before dawn, more than ten fast horses rushed over to the north city gate. The officers and soldiers who looked at the city gate had already received a notice. When they opened the city gate, the sound of horse hooves stopped in front of the government office. The lights in the front of the government office were brightly lit, and Yang Shaoliang stepped forward and grabbed Xinfei's horse. Xinfei jumped off the horse and asked, "What's the situation? Did Guo Jingshan catch it?"
Yang Shaoliang did not dare to neglect the slander who was more than ten years younger than him, and reported respectfully: "Guo Jingshan is still on the run. All the other four people in the letter of complaint have been arrested. Except for Guo Jingshan who fled outside Guo Jingshan, all the bandits who fled. When raiding Guo Zhai and Guojiazhuang, several evidence of the Yuantian Sect, as well as swords, guns and other objects, it has been confirmed that Guo Jingshan and others are members of the Yuantian Sect."
Xinfei kept walking straight to the lobby, Yang Shaoliang followed closely behind and continued to report: "The arrested Yuantian Sect bandits have begun, but the gains are not great, especially Zhang Hongchong, who claimed that he was wronged. Because he was a doctor in the Ministry of Justice, his subordinates dared not use a major punishment."
"If you need it, use the means you should use, don't be afraid, you will take care of yourself if you have any problems."
"yes."
Governor Feng has come out. From last night to now, Feng Shaojun has only snatched a short time. Feng Shaojun is nearly fifty years old and can't stand it. He is a little shaking when he walks. If it weren't for the belief in promotion, he would have fallen down long ago.
Xin Fei came to Wenping Mansion for the last time when he was in Changchun Temple. She met Governor Feng, but she didn't politely say to him. She said straight: "Thank you for your hard work, please give me the letter and evidence, go and rest, I'll lend it to your lobby."
The candles were bright in the lobby. Xinfei looked at the letter of complaint carefully. Four maids stood behind her to guard. Siyu was standing behind Xinfei, glanced at the letter paper, and saw that the words were written in a slant, and couldn't help but laugh: "This person hasn't read a few days ago, and the words are so written that they dare not approach them. They can be sold as talismans."
Xinfei silently handed the letter to Sifeng behind her. After reading it, Sifeng transferred it to Siqing and the others. Sifeng and others named Xinfei are actually senior sisters, and they are like brothers. Xinfei debuted early, and the master asked four junior sisters to follow her to experience it. When something happened, Xinfei of course had to listen to their opinions.
Sichen and Siyu are the youngest and have the same views. They smiled and nodded, "Sister Siyu is right. I have never seen such ugly words before. How could he write them?"
Siqing thought something, and Sifeng handed the letter back to Xinfei. Seeing Xinfei looking at her, she thought for a while and said, "This word is ugly, but maybe the person who wrote the letter intentionally wrote it like this, so that people can't see his handwriting."
Siqing took the conversation carefully and said, "From the words in terms of words, they express the meaning clearly and concisely. This person has not only read books, but also has excellent writing styles."
"Where is it?" Sichen and Siyu returned to the two little heads, and read the letter of information. Sure enough, the words were compact and smooth, and the three passages clearly expressed the time, place, characters, and relationships.
Siyu stuck out her tongue and said in admiration: "Sister Siqing is so amazing, you can discover this."
Xinfei patted Siyu's little head lovingly and said angrily: "Who told you to know how to play all day long? Now I won't say that I'm biased and won't let you do things."
Sifeng walked forward and said, "Miss, Guo Jingshan is still running. I just heard from Yangzhou that Guo Jingshan has the ability to do it, so why not let me go and take a look."
Xinfei nodded and said, "I don't have to worry about doing things, but this matter is not urgent. You and I are tired from coming overnight. Let's take a rest for a long time to maintain our energy before going. Yang Shaoliang."
"I am in a humble position."
"Arranging our accommodation for us, and come to report to me the results of the trial at noon. Don't relax when arresting Guo Jingshan, especially at the gate of the city. Send more people to keep an eye on him and don't let him leave the city."
After pausing, Xinfei continued: "Guo Jingshan's wife and children have been arrested. Can you tell me where Guo Jingshan will hide from them?"
"promise."
Somehow, Jiang Anyi's figure suddenly appeared in front of Xinfei's eyes. Could it be that he wrote this letter? Will he be in Wenping Mansion? Sometimes I feel that this thing is really hard to explain, so I have a saying that it is in harmony and mutual understanding. When Xinfei thought of Jiang Anyi, Jiang Anyi happened to wake up from his dream.
The tense atmosphere in Wenping Mansion did not affect the students who were taking the exam. Everyone gathered together enthusiastically, discussing Ma Jingxuan, the chief examiner of the current subject, and inquiring about the life preferences of the examiner. Whoever got an article written by Ma Zheng’s examination was as precious as a treasure. They kept the door closed and repeatedly pondered it.
Jiang Anyi was also unable to avoid being a commonplace. He changed his name and participated in the lectures several times, but it disappointed Jiang Anyi. He listened to the deeds of Ma's chief examiner, but he didn't know whether it was true or false. Jiang Anyi remembered that when he was in the Fan Mansion, he had asked Mr. Fan inadvertently who might be the chief examiner. As a result, Mr. Fan cursed, "My disciples of Fan also wanted to do these crooked ways?"
