Chapter Seventy-Eight: Difficulties
Chu Xian only arrived in Fengcheng later, joined the banquet halfway, and also met Kong Qian, the old magistrate of the Criminal Division, and Shi Zhao Renze, the governor of the Criminal Division, and after meeting with Cui Huanzhi, of course, he also knew about Zhao Renze's surrender before.
After dinner, back to the official post house, Cui Huanzhi called Chu Xian to the study alone, in the room, there were only the two of them, and outside the house, Li Yanji and Qi Chengxiang were guarding with knives.
Cui Huanzhi looked at Chu Xian, nodded, and said: "Before, I introduced you to the official position under pressure, and I was even promoted to the official position of the ninth grade, to be honest, I was sweating in my heart, because I was afraid that I would see the wrong person, and I was afraid that you would not be able to bear this burden at a young age." But now, I'm relieved, Chu Xian, you didn't disappoint me. ”
Just one sentence that didn't disappoint me already shows how satisfied Cui Huanzhi is with Chu Xian at the moment.
Can you not be satisfied?
In just three days, Chu Xian found out a lot of key clues and evidence, and even arrested the key person Fang Shun, at that time it was said that the other party had dispatched the Chijin Army, Chu Xian and several people, against the two hundred Chijin Army, in exchange for Cui Huanzhi himself, I am afraid it will be difficult to deal with.
Although Fang Shun was robbed later, the fault was not Chu Xian, and Cui Huanzhi was also very clear about this.
In the face of appreciation, Chu Xian just smiled faintly, and then said: "Lord Cui, the matter of Fengcheng is far from being as simple as what is said in the dossier, in addition to the clues mentioned in the previous letter, the student still has some questions. ”
At this time, Chu Xian expressed the doubts in his heart.
For example, in the Imperial History Mansion, it was found that the grass and trees and gardens may have been neglected more than three months ago, such as the candles in the bedroom, such as the tidiness of the study, in addition, Chu Xian found that among the blood stains on the ground at the scene of the crime, there were some traces of smudge that seemed to be wet by the rain, but during these days, it was not raining in Fengcheng.
Cui Huanzhi listened carefully, and it wasn't until Chu Xian finished speaking that he looked at Chu Xian and said, "Since you have made a discovery, you might as well guess it, because of what, I see that in your strategy test paper, the method of deduction is perfect, and I think you must have guessed something." ”
Chu Xian smiled: "I can't hide anything from Master Cui, yes, the students do have some guesses." Wang Yushi's last book is to say that a year ago in Fengcheng that tragedy, the Ding family of 15 people who were wiped out, none of them were spared, all were killed by gangsters, the case was later characterized as a thief, because the perpetrator was not caught, so it became an unsolved case, and it was over. Wang Yushi revisited the old matter, thinking that it must have been discovered, and after that, Wang Yushi was assassinated. I have been to the Ding family, after investigation and Fang Shun's confession, it can already be determined that it was Zhao An who committed the murder, because Zhao An is lustful, and the daughter of the Ding family was extremely beautiful, so Zhao An was interested in seeing the color, sneaked into the Ding family and forcibly raped the daughter of the Ding family, unfortunately was bumped into by the people of the Ding family, Zhao An was afraid that the matter would be exposed, so he killed people and killed them, and the result was out of control, these, Fang Shun has already explained clearly, the file of the Ding family at that time was forged by him, and he is also very clear about the specific details, and some of them are said by Zhao An himself and Fang Shun, I don't think there will be any fake。 ”
Cui Huanzhi's expression was serious, this matter is not trivial, Zhao Ana is the son of Changshi, raping people and girls is already a big crime, and later he actually slaughtered the whole family, which is already inferior to a beast.
Will Zhao Renze not know about this?
As a governor, it is impossible for Zhao Renze not to know, and even the person who robbed Fang Shun later may have been arranged by Zhao Renze, but if this is the case, why did Zhao Renze kidnap and surrender?
I'm afraid it's not that simple.
"Zhao An can wipe out the Ding family, has he cultivated martial arts?" Cui Huanzhi asked at this time.
Chu Xian nodded: "Although I haven't seen Zhao An make a move, but Wang Zan, the east gate of Fengcheng, has seen Zhao An make a move, although the other party's martial arts cultivation has not yet reached the acquired realm, but it is not easy to deal with ordinary people." ”
"Wang Zan, is that the upright city gate official you told me?" Cui Huanzhi turned his head and asked.
Chu Xian nodded and said: "Exactly, when I was in the Hazy Moon Pavilion, if it wasn't for this Lord Wang's help, the student might not have been able to catch Fang Shun, and then he suddenly interrogated Fang Shun overnight, and Wang Zan also helped a lot." ”
"Okay, there are still righteous officials in the land of Fengcheng, and because of this, the Holy Dynasty was able to stand a few years ago, by the way, I heard that Wang Yushi's daughter is now the commander of the cavalry?" Cui Huanzhi asked, Chu Xian nodded, and told him about Wang Ruoyu's divine soldiers descending from the sky last night to relieve the siege for him.
Hearing this, Cui Huanzhi sighed: "Wang Yushi is afraid that he already knew that someone would be unfavorable to him, so he made plans in advance, but unfortunately, he still did not escape the poisonous hands of the gangsters." It's just that when Fang Shun was interrogated, the other party didn't explain the case of Yushi at all?"
Chu Xian has already had a paper crane to pass on this matter, so Cui Huanzhi knows about it, and Chu Xian is also helpless at the moment: "Fang Shun should indeed not know the hidden story of the Yushi case, if he knows, there is no reason not to say it, now that Zhao Changshi has surrendered to him, Zhao An can be regarded as under control, but because there is no crucial witness of Fang Shun, I am afraid it will be difficult to convict Zhao An based on his previous testimony." ”
"Yes, so Zhao Changshi is a good chess hand. Cui Huanzhi slammed the teacup in his hand on the table at this time, splashing some tea.
It can be seen that he is very angry in his heart, because if there is no accident, Zhao An will admit some innocuous crimes at most, as for any major murder crime, it must be impossible to convict, because Fang Shun is nowhere to be found, just a confession is not enough, and even Cui Huanzhi can't take out the confession during the court trial, which is where he is most aggrieved.
The current situation is that Wang Yushi was killed, probably because of the case of the Ding family's extermination, if Zhao An can be convicted, maybe he can ask the truth about Wang Yushi's murder from Zhao An's mouth, but he knows it clearly, but he can't do it, because there is no witness, there is no physical evidence, and the only testimony may also be bitten back by the other party, saying that it is made up.
However, Cui Huanzhi was not too anxious, he asked Chu Xian to rest first and recuperate, now that he has arrived in Fengcheng, the next step is the critical moment to wrestle with the forces behind Fengcheng.
When he went out, Chu Xian met Kong Qian, the old magistrate of the Criminal Department of the Criminal Department, Chu Xian knew this old magistrate in his dream, Kong Qian, this person, is upright and upright, but he is also a little competitive, especially in the matter of investigating the murderer, he never convinces people, and estimates the big case of the murder of the imperial history, this old magistrate is also holding back a lot of strength in his heart, wanting to overpower the inspection department and Cui Huanzhi.
However, in terms of morality alone, Chu Xian still respects this old pusher very much, so when he meets Chu Xian, he respectfully salutes, of course, this old pusher is the official position of the sixth grade, which is several levels higher than Chu Xian.
I thought that Kong Qian didn't recognize him, but I didn't expect that after the old magistrate saw Chu Xian, he stopped and said, "You are the inspector who writes Chu Xian?"
