Xu Ping looked at it coldly and didn't stop it.

took the prisoner, and the inspection said goodbye to Xu Ping.

Xu Ping said: "Go back and report to Master Cheng, this case implicates the three divisions, if there is any progress in the case, please move it over in time." ”

The patrol promised to take his subordinates to surround the prisoners.

Xu Ping watched the people from Kaifeng Mansion leave, and asked Liu Xin beside him: "Chongzhi, according to you, was Jinzhou Jinshi cheated by this Cui Youde, or was he himself confused and spent money to receive fake citations?" ”

"Who can say that? It is said that he is also a township tribute jinshi, and he will not accept fake handovers, and no one in his hometown should dare to deceive him like this. ”

Xu Ping was silent for a while, then suddenly turned around and ordered the soldiers around him: "Go and call Zheng Jian of Gouyuan!" ”

The soldier promised, and just turned around, Xu Ping said again: "By the way, by the way, go to the editing office and call Gao Chengduan together!" ”

Liu Xin's mind was clear, and he immediately understood what Xu Ping meant, and asked: "Deputy envoy, do you still think that Cui Youde is more likely to cheat?" Do you want Zheng Gouyuan to investigate? ”

"It's hard to say which one is bigger, but most of the Kaifeng Mansion cases will not carefully check the accounts of the goods, and they can't do this kind of thing. Let's check it out ourselves and know what to expect. ”

At this time, the central and local yamen were widely set up with Gouyuan, and in history, in the Southern Song Dynasty, because they wanted to avoid the name of Song Gaozong Zhao Gou, they were renamed the Audit Division, which is also the source of the word audit. What they did was similar to Xu Ping's previous audit firms, and they were good at checking accounts and checking the authenticity of tickets.

The reason why the three divisions are important is that this yamen is not only in charge of the country's finances, but also in charge of the auditing and other systems, integrating administrative and supervision systems.

Xu Ping thought about it, and still felt that it was more likely that the officials of the goods department were cheating. It is impossible for a cross-quote merchant to deliberately accept a fake cross-quote, because the goods cannot be passed. In the process of receiving and receiving, most of them are also guaranteed by local referrals, and the possibility of receiving fake reciprocal referrals is really minimal.

No matter how you think about this matter, it is very strange, so it is natural to send someone to carefully check it. is called Gao Chengduan because he was born in a family of public officials, and he is proficient in the way of fraud, and he can find things that others can't see.

There are more than 1,000 houses in the entire Sansi Yamen, and although they are huge, they still stretch together after all. It didn't take long for Zheng Jian to hurry over. In the past two days, the salt and iron division investigated the public officials who made trouble, and such a big case did not call Gouyuan to participate, Zheng Jian was a little anxious.

After saluting Xu Parallel, Zheng Jian said, "What does the deputy envoy have to tell his subordinates?" ”

"Just now, people from Kaifeng Mansion came, saying that Cui Youde, the director of the cargo affairs, secretly exchanged the exchange of the merchants and forced people to die. I think this thing is a little strange, you take someone to the goods department to carefully check and see if those citations are true or false. ”

Zheng Jian was a little disappointed when he heard that he didn't let himself participate in the investigation of the office officials' troubles. However, he was involved in a major homicide case, and the matter was still worth doing.

Promising Xu Ping, Zheng Jian asked again: "The case is being handled by Kaifeng Mansion, they won't have to check the account books of the goods business, right?" If there is no fake cross-reference, how can I check it? ”

Xu Ping said: "Where is there anyone in Kaifeng Mansion who can distinguish the truth from the false? I guess Mr. Cheng still uses other methods. Gao Chengduan will come in a while, and you will take him with you. ”

Zheng Jian was stunned: "Gao Chengduan is just a public official of the editing office, what to take him for?" ”

"How many generations of his family have been public officials, many things we find incredible, where he may have seen I don't know how many times. Days off, sometimes well-informed is also a kind of ability. ”

Zheng Jian nodded and didn't say anything more. As an official, it is not uncommon to use the power of public officials, but with the help of public officials who are not under his control, Zheng Jian is still a little comfortable.

After a short time, Gao Cheng came over, and Xu Ping instructed him to follow Zheng Jian to the goods and carefully inspect the delivery. In particular, the intercessions of Jinju Jinshi who have been judged to be false should be carefully examined.

The two left, and Xu Ping said to Liu Xin again: "You send a few people to Cui Youde's house to investigate the situation in his family." I always feel that a lot of things have to fall on this Cui Youde. ”

Liu Xin said: "How does the deputy envoy want to investigate?" ”

"Didn't you bring a lot of cross-dressing officials the day before yesterday? I also got a lot of news back. This time it's still like that, find a few trustworthy ones, and find out the bottom of the Cui family in detail, maybe there will be some miracle effect. ”

Liu Xin promised to go to his subordinate Xiang Jun to send people.

Liu Xin has always been chivalrous and likes to make people spy on news, which is a shortcoming that he has been criticized in history. Because officials have always been disgusted with secret agents, but I have to admit that this method sometimes works very well.

The area around Caihe is a place where the middle and lower class people in Kaifeng City live, and the housing prices are also cheap.

There was a tea shop under the big willow tree on the bank of the river, where two middle-aged men sat and ordered tea and a plate of fruit, chatting while eating, and occasionally looking at the other side.

On the opposite side is a small two-story courtyard, which looks very quiet.

A woman in her twenties at the door was holding a little girl of four or five years old in her hand and talking to a young man opposite.

The young man said with a smile: "Sister-in-law, this time Brother Cui committed a life lawsuit, and if you are not careful, you won't be able to come out alive." My sister-in-law is young, how can I endure this in the future! ”

The woman's face was full of frost, and she said coldly: "What nonsense are you talking about! My family officials are law-abiding, how can they commit crimes? Your brother usually follows him with a long brother and a short brother, I don't know how attentive you are, why do you still talk this kind of nonsense to me! ”

The young man laughed out loud: "Sister-in-law doesn't feel blushing when she says this?" As public servants, which of us dare to say that we are law-abiding? It's just that the thing I did wasn't caught! Relying on the little money of the duke, the daily food of my sister-in-law, the yard where I live in the back, and what you wear—"

The woman opened the young man's outstretched hand: "Be dignified! ”

"Sister-in-law is wearing this, can you afford it with Brother Cui's money? I am also a public man, so why should I open my eyes and talk nonsense? This time, Brother Cui's case made a big fuss, and more than 100 Luodi Jinshi blocked the gate of the Drum Courtyard, and how could Kaifeng Mansion deal with it if they didn't give their lives to the yamen? In the future, this food and clothing, sister-in-law, will be gone......"

The woman saw the young man draw closer and closer, and exclaimed, "What are you telling me all this?" ”

The young man said with a hippie smile: "My brother had an accident, and my good husband entrusted me to take care of my sister-in-law." No matter what happens in the future, there is no food at home, there are new clothes on the body, there is no money to use, I feel cold when I sleep at night, and there are fewer people around, you can come to me. Sister-in-law, don't worry, I won't chill my sister-in-law's heart! ”

Two guests sat under the tea-shop, and the young man opposite him made a move to the woman, and although the woman did not hesitate, she did not turn away, but only entangled in front of the door.

A guest asked Dr. Tea, "Are the two men and women on the other side husband and wife?" How to pull and pull on the street, if you want to be affectionate, just go back to your own home, what kind of system will you become in public! ”

Dr. Tea held the kettle and smiled: "Where are the couples!" The guests didn't know that the man in the family was a public servant in the goods business, and he didn't know how much money was moved home from the official house for the daily food and drink, and he didn't know how much money he lived happily! Today, I heard that someone committed an accident, and there was a life lawsuit, and I was arrested in Kaifeng Mansion. The floating boy is a colleague of the man in his family, and it is estimated that he saw an opportunity to tease the lady in the family. ”

The two guests laughed together: "It is often said that these people are incorruptible and shameful, but when I see them today, I know that what I said is true." But look at the little lady has a bit of color, that young man is lucky! ”

"Hey, these men are having a good life! You two don't know, I watch from the other side every day, and I see that the family's food and clothing are no worse than those of the big people in the city. The young man didn't know which yamen he was working in, and if something really happened to the man opposite, the woman would still be able to escape his hands? People who are used to enjoying it, where can they survive the hardship! ”

The two guests glanced at each other, and one said, "Dr. Tea is right, how can a woman be watery, how can she stand this young man's teasing!" By the way, what's the young man's name? So good luck! ”

Dr. Tea said: "I call him Song Xiaoyi every day, and I have a close relationship with that man. I didn't want the man to have an accident, and the young man came over like a fly smelling blood. ”

The two guests laughed together: "A man is like a cat stealing fish, how can you let it go if you have the opportunity?" ”

Seeing that a pair of men and women on the opposite side were still entangled there, the people in the tea shop burst out laughing.

In the afternoon, in the yamen of the Salt and Iron Division, Liu Xin and the three of them were still busy sweating, but they didn't find anything new. Seeing that the day is about to pass again, my heart is like frying, and I am irritable.

Xu Ping instructed two old officials to interrogate Da Da Hai and Qin San in the small black room with a few soldiers, of course, the focus was on Feng Lixing. At the end of the day, I didn't ask anything valuable, and I gradually became a little discouraged.

Looking at the sun in the west sky lying on the top of the mountain in the distance, Xu Ping sat in the courtyard, looking at the chaotic crowd in the courtyard and thinking about his thoughts. If you can't find out the mastermind behind the scenes this time, I am afraid that in the future, the three divisions and yamen will only be connected together, and it will be difficult to do things according to their own minds. Those who want to open a new field in a few days can only recruit new people, and they can't rely on the recommendation of the officials of the third division, and they don't know where to find suitable people. Do you want to transfer it from the Lingnan cane sugar business?

At this moment, Zheng Jian took Gao Chengduan and ran in from the outside in a hurry, and when he arrived at Xu Ping's side, he forgot to even salute, and said to Xu Ping: "Deputy envoy, the subordinates have found out clearly, the case is a ghost made by Cui Youde, a cargo official!" ”

"Really? Is there any real evidence? Xu Ping heard this and stood up all of a sudden. (To be continued.) )
