In Meng Shenshuang's view, Cui Erlang is just a county order of Liupinjiangdu, is it useful to smear and weaken the reputation of the other party? It's just an itchy effect across the boots, which is just a superfluous move.

However, the middle-aged man's statement reminded him: What if Cui Geng was not beaten to death with a stick this time under the pretext of disobeying the slaughter ban? Then the struggle between Lijingmen and Cui Geng will have to be sustained for a long time.

That's when a person's prestige comes into play.

If Cui Geng is notorious in Yangzhou, then can the officials of Jiangdu County still listen to him? And the wealthy gentlemen under the jurisdiction of Jiangdu County will still obey his dispatch from the Jiangdu County Order? Once everyone is alienated from him and everyone betrays his relatives, can he just rely on a few hardcore subordinates brought by him Cui from Lingnan Road?

As for why Cui Geng said that big thing after drinking at Jiang Siniang's house, it must be spread all over Huainan Province, and the entire Huainan Prefecture and counties will know about it, not just in Jiangdu County, the middle-aged man's reason is even more vicious, and the prevention is to be benevolent in case of benevolence, and Cui Geng will be demoted to other states and counties, and his back road will be blocked in advance, so that he will never have a chance to turn around!

……

"Yes, yes, Liming, it's really a humiliation to let you be a small team leader in the Yali of Jiangdu County." Meng Shenshuang praised again and again.

That's right, the person who came to report the news was none other than Song Liming, the head of the Jiangdu County Ya's fishing team.

Song Liming is ostensibly the head of the Jiangdu County Ya, but secretly he has always been a peripheral member of Lijingmen. If it weren't for this opportunity, with his status in Lijingmen, I am afraid he would not even have the opportunity to meet Meng Shenshuang alone.

Song Liming listened to Meng Shenshuang's praise, and even said that he didn't dare to be unyielding.

Meng Shenshuang smiled, patted him on the shoulder a few more times, and said, "Okay, spread his big words and spread the affairs of the counties in Lingnan Dao, and I will leave it to you to handle." If it's done, the manager will be rewarded. It's not impossible to come to Ruyi Building to live for a few days. ”

"Mr. Xie!"

What is Ruyi Building?

That is the sale of Lijingmen's collection of the world's fine wine, food and beauties~ Soul Cave, although I dare not call it the best in the world, but it is not a lie!

In the past, those who could go to and from Ruyi Building were at least seven-grade officials, where was what he could hope for as a Song Liming and a Xu official?

For a while, Song Liming felt that his bones were a little lighter, and he got out of Ruyi Building and began to handle this matter in a hurry.

As for his own work in Jiangdu County, he was completely left behind.

……

……

Song Liming, who was the head catcher of a county, did not show up for a few days, which naturally attracted Cui Geng's attention, so he brought the county governor Yongguang for questioning.

Yongguang didn't seem to mean anything about Song Liming's sudden non-arrival at the yamen on duty, so he pouted and said: "My lord, don't worry about him, this bastard turned out to be just a small catcher in our county government, and then he became the head of the catcher team by relying on Lijingmen." In the past, this guy didn't do a lot of bad things for Li Jingmen in secret. In the past few days, I may be helping Lijingmen do some dirty work. ”

Song Liming is a person from Lijingmen?

Cui Geng frowned slightly, and said: "The official originally thought that Song Liming was afraid of the power of Lijingmen, and he didn't want to set himself on fire, so he went out to hide for two days. I didn't expect him to have such a relationship with Meng Shenshuang, so it would be even more difficult to keep him. ”

"What do you mean by opening Song Liming?" Yongguang asked.

Cui Gengdao: "A small squad leader who doesn't get into the miscellaneous stream, can't the official open him?" ”

"No, no, no, that's not what Xia Guan meant."

Yongguang persuaded: "When the adults first came to Jiangdu to take office, they first fired Zhao Mingyu, the criminal officer, and then they had to reform and arrest Song Liming, the head of the fast team, in two days... What's... After all, Lijingmen obeyed the orders of Zuo Su Zhengtai, who was also in charge of Junchen. If the adults dismiss Song Liming on the grounds that he has a relationship with Lijingmen, I am afraid it will be difficult to convince the public, please think twice. If you can't carry it, you will be grabbed by Meng Shenshuang's braid and beaten upside down. ”

Not?

Also yes ha.

Cui Geng nodded secretly, although Li Jingmen did all the dirty things, it was the Son of Heaven who asked Lai Junchen to secretly take the lead in re-forming. The imperial court did not say what kind of cult organization Lijingmen was, nor did it say that Lijingmen was an illegal organization.

If Song Liming opened him just because he was a person from Lijingmen, maybe he would really be used to make a big fuss.

He had just fired Zhao Mingyu and asked Zhou Xing to replace him as a torturer. Now that Song Liming is opened, and then let his people go up, those who don't know think that he is taking the opportunity to install his cronies, of course, that's what he thinks.

But it is inevitable that those officials in the county government will be in danger, and when the time comes, the people will be discouraged, and it will be difficult to bring this team.

It's my own negligence, but I know it slightly, Yongguang reminded me right!

He suddenly smiled and said, "It's rare that the county lieutenant Yong can still think about the county at this time, and the county is very pleased." ”

"Uh......" Yongguang's face turned pale, and he wanted to cry without tears in his heart, big brother, I was also forced to be helpless, okay? I've already stood in line and tore my face with Meng Shenshuang, I don't expect you to be good, is it possible that I still hope that Meng Shenshuang will kill you?

Seeing his expression, Cui Geng guessed the probability, and asked: "As soon as the lieutenant of Yongxian County agreed to stand on the side of the official, there was such a thing as being caught by Meng Shenshuang because of the slaughter ban, is he very disappointed in the official?" ”

"......" Yongguang opened his mouth, he wanted to speak and stopped, he couldn't stop being disappointed, he hated himself now why he was rushing, he didn't take Cui Geng to Jiang Siniang's house to eat flower wine that day. Otherwise, there wouldn't be such a thing.

Cui Geng didn't care, and said: "The county lieutenant of Yongxian can guess one or two without saying that the official, so ah, Meng Shenshuang's thorn, whether it is for the official himself or for the big guy, I will have to pull it out sooner or later!" ”

Yongguang said: "That is, if you want to make some achievements in Jiangdu County, then Meng Shenshuang is a tumor in our Jiangdu County, and it is better to pull out the tumor as soon as possible!" However, for now, adults should think of a way first, how to deal with the trouble of him talking about the slaughter ban! ”

Cui Geng smiled and said, "Isn't there still half a month, and wait." Now it is imperative that this official first pull out Song Liming, a small tumor of Lijingmen in our county! ”

"Although Song Liming is a small catcher, he has been on an errand in the county government office for many years. It is inevitable that everyone in the county government is in danger, and the adults also need to find a legitimate reason to remove him. ”

Yongguang muttered: "However, this evidence is not easy to find. ”

Cui Geng said: "Is it that difficult? Song Liming has colluded with Li Jingmen for many years, and he must have done a lot of bad things, as his chief official, don't you have evidence of his crime? ”

"This ...... The adults looked down on the lower officials. Yongguang shook his head and smiled bitterly, and said, "Do you think about Zhao Mingyu, the criminal officer, when he did something bad, he didn't pick himself clean?" Song Liming has the same virtue as him, even if he does something bad, it is difficult to fall into any position. ”

However, Yongguang still recommended Xia Rong, the chief bookkeeper of Jiangdu County, to Cui Geng, saying that this person was very interested in the privacy of the officials and officials in Jiangdu County, and maybe he could find some black accounts about Song Liming from his mouth.

Thinking of Xia Rong, who is the head of a county, but plays fortune-telling feng shui all day long, and chatters about not doing his job, Cui Geng's brain really hurts. There are a lot of wonders in this Jiangdu County!

In the end, Cui Geng still found Xia Rong for questioning.

Sure enough, Cui Geng just showed a little bit of a mouth, and Xia Geng was concerned about him, but he boasted about showing how well he knew yin and yang and knew Yili well.

For example, an inexplicable headache for a certain official is because there is an unknown corpse buried under the house.

For example, the wife of the former master of the book had a strange illness because of the ghost of the servant girl who was killed a few years ago.

At that time, a certain Sima in Yangzhou suddenly lost his official position because he inadvertently killed a magpie.

There are many stories that come out of his mouth, but in the end, they are all the same, and the result is that he Xia Rong showed his skills, found out the truth, and solved the mystery.

Cui Geng listened to it, and his brain hurt again, how can he be an official in these years?

But thinking that he, who was born in winemaking, can be the county magistrate of Jiangdu, and Hou Sizhi, who was born in selling cakes, can be the servant of the political platform, it is not surprising that a freak like Xia Rong can be the master of Jiangdu.

After he finished showing his stink, Cui Geng asked about Song Liming again.

After Xia Rong was addicted to the magic stick, he finally said: "There is really a case about Song Liming in the hands of the lower officials, do you want to hear it?" ”

", I don't want to hear it, why am I looking for you?"

Cui Geng smacked him, his good temper was about to be driven crazy, and he asked, "What is the case?" Say it quickly! ”

Under Xia Rong's chatter, an old affair of Song Liming slowly surfaced......

It turned out that although Song Liming was short, fat, dark, and ugly, he didn't fall behind at all the problems that men should have, such as ...... Good ~ lustful.

Especially after becoming the head of the fast hunting team, he relied on Lijingmen to earn a lot of money with a bad conscience, and his good ~ lustful heart that has been silent for a long time and has low self-esteem because of his appearance is even more intense, and he really wants to accept a few beautiful concubines and get over the addiction of the official master.

But it's a pity that his wife Yang is not only five big and three thick, but also has a lot of power, and he has always been a thief but not a thief.

In the end, Song Liming found Xia Rong and said Master Xia, you can help me calculate, in my life, do I have the life to marry a concubine.

Xia Rong immediately pinched his fingers and pointed out that Song Da Zhutou should have one wife and three concubines in his life.

Song Liming was overjoyed, and hurriedly invited Xia Rong to his house and chatted with his mother-in-law.

Xia Rong was still quite enthusiastic about this kind of thing to show his fortune-telling attainments, and immediately agreed and came to Song Liming's house.

But as soon as the Yang family heard his intention, his face immediately sank, and he picked up the stick and said, "Get out!" Get the hell out of here! I, Yang Guihua, have been wronged enough to marry him Song Liming, and I still want to take a concubine in his appearance, unless the sun comes out of the west! ”

Xia Rong also received a little money from Song Liming's tea, which was naturally a matter of taking people's money and being loyal to others, and persuaded Yang with bitter words: "Mrs. Yang, don't think so, this matter is not only related to Song Zhutou, but also related to you." It is the will of heaven for him to marry one wife and three concubines, if you go against the will of heaven, I am afraid that God will condemn you! ”

"That's ......"

The fierce Yang naturally sneered, and said, "Master Xia, let me tell you this, unless I die, he Song Liming Xiuxiu wants to invite the concubine to enter the door!" ”

As a result, in less than a year, Yang really died.

After the death of his wife, Song Liming's black guy was naturally overjoyed, so he almost set off a cannon battle to celebrate.

Soon after the Yang family entered the soil, he immediately married a three-room concubine, and he has enjoyed a lot of happiness in the past few years.

Cui Geng listened to it, but he couldn't help but wonder for a while - it can't be such a coincidence, right? Is it really providential retribution? Say death and die, and it will be fulfilled within a year.

Is Xia Rong really powerful? Fart!

Cui Geng didn't believe it when he was killed, if this guy had this magical power, could he still be the master of Jiangdu County? With his urine sex that he likes to show, he has already flown to Chang'an to pretend to be forced!

If it weren't for the accident, the blind cat met the dead mouse, then Yang's sudden death is very likely to be inseparable from Song Liming!

If this case is really investigated, and it can really be proved that Song Liming and Yang's deaths are inseparable, then won't this nail planted by Lijingmen in the county government be solved?

Thinking of this, Cui Geng couldn't help but be overjoyed, and said, "Master Xia, how long has this case happened?" ”

"It's not a short time coming, it can be more than a year."

"Uh......"

People have been dead for more than a year, and they have turned into a pile of dry bones, right? How can you investigate a case that has been going on for such a long time?

Cui Geng sent Xia Rong away, and hurriedly called Zhou Xing, who was good at criminal matters, over to discuss matters.

After hearing this, Zhou Xing couldn't help but smile bitterly again and again: "My lord is also embarrassed and humiliated." Now that people have been in the ground for more than a year, how can you let me check? Who knows if she was poisoned, beaten to death, or really died of a violent illness? ”

Cui Geng said: "Can't you open the coffin for an autopsy?" ”

Zhou Xingdao: "Open the coffin for autopsy? That's impossible! The law of the Great Zhou Dynasty has been determined, and when the coffin is opened for autopsy, there must be a family member to file a complaint and redress the grievances, and the government can open the coffin. Otherwise, even if the government is suspicious, it is not allowed to open the tomb without permission. ”

Cui Geng was surprised: "There is such a rule?" ”

Zhou Xingdao: "Yes, in order to prevent local officials from blackmailing the people with the bones of their ancestors, the imperial court caused a civil uprising. That's why we have this rule. ”

The implication is that in Yang's case, first, her husband Song Liming does not think that there is a grievance to be claimed, and second, his mother's family also accepts the cause of his daughter's death, so the government cannot make extraneous troubles.

In the end, Zhou Xing persuaded again: "My lord, don't insist on going your own way, what if you forcibly open the coffin?" Let me ask you, what if Yang really died of a violent illness? Is it worth taking such a big risk? ”

Cui Geng is right to think about it, the medical conditions in these years are just like that, Lu Lihua is a yellow flower girl, her father is a state Sima, and her aunt is a powerful Shangguan Wan'er, no one will harm her, right? In the end, it was not silent, and he died of a sudden illness.

It can be seen that the possibility of Yang's violent illness and death is also very large, and it may not necessarily have anything to do with Song Liming.

He couldn't help but say a little depressedly: "According to your analysis, this official still can't get rid of Song Liming?" ”

Zhou Xing shook his head and said: "If you want to use Yang's death as a reason to start Song Liming, it will not work according to your humble position, so you can only think of another way." ”

Since the criminal case experts have said so, Cui Geng can only admit it, so he has to give up on solving Song Liming's black guy from Yang's death.

Just when he was depressed, an errand outside the yamen came to report, and Cui Xiaoniang came to visit.

Cui Xiaoniang?

Isn't it Cui Xiufang who left angrily a few days ago and returned to Renshoufang with a small temperament?
