Chapter Seventy-Nine: Interrogating Zhao An

"Yes!" Chu Xian was stunned for a moment, it seemed that the old magistrate had something to say.

Kong Qian smiled slightly, looked Chu Xian up and down, and then said, "I heard Zuo Xiong mention you, you are very good, and the future life is terrifying." ”

After speaking, he reached out and patted Chu Xian's shoulder, and then walked into Cui Huanzhi's room.

Chu Xian didn't know why, and then he thought about it, this old pusher wouldn't be a trick for himself, right? At the moment, he was using official skills to find out if there were any tricks like the Thousand Miles God Capture Seal on his body, but the result was naturally no, the old pusher really just said those words because he admired him, Chu Xian really thought too much.

Chu Xian naturally didn't know, he arrested Fang Shun in three days, and found out a lot of clues, this matter is not only in the Inspection Division, even in the Criminal Division, it is also talked about by many people, after all, Chu Xian is just a newly appointed penman, and he can actually arrest Ren Zuoxiong more than the experienced Jiupin God in the investigation of the case, in fact, Ren Zuoxiong and Chu Xian almost arrived in Fengcheng on the front and back. In the end, Ren Zuoxiong also stumbled and was robbed of an important prisoner, and in his career, this mistake can almost cut off the possibility of Ren Zuoxiong's continued promotion.

On the contrary, no matter what the final outcome of this big case is, Chu Xian has already made a great contribution, and it is impossible for the Inspection Department or even the Procuratorate to erase this merit, coupled with Chu Xian's age advantage, everyone knows that Chu Xian will have a great future in the future.

"Brother Li!" Chu Xian saw Li Yanji and Qi Chengxiang and stepped forward, this time, it was Li Yanji who looked at Chu Xian with a look of appreciation, because he knew that Chu Xian had no fear in the face of the two Red Gold Army, if he didn't have the courage, who would dare to face the murderous spirit of the army?

This is what the warriors admire and appreciate the most.

"Brother Chu, you go to rest first, and later, I will invite you to have a drink. Li Yanji's words have already indicated that he has officially recognized Chu Xian.

This kind of recognition is not a so-called friendship, but a real friendship, and even to some extent, it is even closer than the relationship between Li Yanji and Cui Huanzhi.

Chu Xian smiled, he knew that Li Yanji still had something to do, so he took Qi Chengxiang to rest first.

Because soon, Zhao An will be arraigned.

Although Chu Xian knew that the other party was prepared, and it was likely that he would not be able to interrogate anything at all, but this time when interrogating Zhao An, Chu Xian did not want to be absent, he wanted to speculate the other party's intentions and thoughts from Zhao An's answer.

Many times, the seemingly disadvantage is not necessarily bad, just like now, someone robbed Fang Shun with the front foot, and immediately Zhao An took the initiative to surrender, it seems that the other party has dominated the whole situation, but the situation has always been ever-changing, the other party can cover up for a while, but it is absolutely impossible to cover up for a lifetime.

When Zhao An was interrogated in the court, the presiding judges were Cui Huanzhi and Kong Qian, because of avoiding suspicion, Zhao Renze, the long history, naturally did not come, but he sent Fengcheng Mansion to supervise the trial.

The Fengcheng Mansion Order is from the fifth grade, and the official position is higher than Cui Huanzhi and Kong Qian, and it is very likely that this Mansion Commander is also a person from the side of Zhao Renze in the long history.

Chu Xian is the pen and is responsible for recording the court trial.

As Chu Xian expected, Zhao An was obviously confident, but he only admitted some innocuous crimes, such as forced buying and selling, and the most serious thing was to injure others, according to the laws of the Tiantang Holy Dynasty, at best, he would be imprisoned for half a year and fined one hundred taels of silver.

And in the end, Cui Huanzhi didn't mention Fang Shun's confession before, because it didn't make much sense to mention it, but it would fall into the inferior, be grabbed by someone, and bite back casually, which was a trouble.

Cui Huanzhi has also been up and down in officialdom for more than ten years, and he will not fail to understand this truth, especially in such a big case and such a complex environment, he must be cautious.

As a result of the court trial, Zhao An was imprisoned for half a year and fined 500 taels of silver.

However, Chu Xian knew that this would definitely not be the end of Zhao An, and now, it was just the beginning.

......

Chu Xian took Wang Ruoyu and the city gate to order Wang Zan to meet Cui Huanzhi.

Wang Ruoyu, as the only daughter of Wang Yushi, is naturally valued by all parties, and Zhao Renze, the long history, knew about it, and he also came to condole.

Wang Ruoyu hid in the Red Feather Cavalry Camp before, and no one knew about this matter, and even in the file, it was noted that Wang Ruoyu was missing.

Wang Ruoyu is also worthy of being the daughter of an official family, and she is also very self-contained in dealing with people, even in the face of Zhao An's father Zhao Renze, she has not lost her temper, but she obviously looks like she rejects people thousands of miles away.

Wang Ruoyu told Chu Xian that she had specifically asked Master Cui, who specially allowed her to participate in the investigation of the case, but she could only watch from the sidelines and could not intervene, which was already an exception, of course, the main reason was not only because she was the daughter of Wang Yushi, but also because at the critical moment, it was Wang Ruoyu who led the troops to relieve Chu Xian.

Wang Zan has his own official position, so he can't often come to help, but as long as there is any news about the Yushi case, he will also tell Chu Xian as soon as possible that there are some clues that are really useful. For example, Wang Zan told Chu Xian that he had heard an old farmer who often bought vegetables in front of the Imperial History Mansion say that he had not seen the Imperial History come out for a while before the accident in the Imperial History Mansion. It turns out that Wang Yushi has a habit, that is, as long as the weather is good, he will go out early in the morning, dressed in casual clothes, with only one guard, walking along Dongmen Street, one to move his legs and feet to bask in the sun, and the other to observe the people's feelings.

There is also something that is not a clue, that is, Wang Zan got a record of entering and leaving the city gate for three years, which is one of the responsibilities of the city gate order, if it is ordinary people entering and leaving, naturally there is no need to record, but if it is an official entering and leaving, they will record it in the book, and the time will be marked on it.

Wang Zan told Chu Xian that he thought that this record might help Chu Xian, but he didn't take it out before, and he forgot about it.

Chu Xian was also unwilling to hit Wang Zan's self-confidence in assisting in the case, in fact, this record of entering and exiting the city gate was really meaningless, and it was impossible for the gangster who committed the murder to have a record on it, but Chu Xian would not say this, and he still thanked Wang Zan for his enthusiasm.

So Chu Xian didn't look at the entry and exit record carefully, just glanced at it, and put it in the study. In the next few days, under the auspices of Cui Huanzhi, the Inspection Department visited many places where the imperial history often frequented, and also asked the guards of the former imperial history mansion and the officials under the imperial history.

In short, they are seizing the time, hoping to find a breakthrough in the murder case of Yushi, and there are already several books recorded by Chu Xian in the past few days.

In the past few days, Chu Xian has also met Zhou Fang by chance.

Zhou Fang, as the head of the small officials of the inspection department, led the horse and delivered food, he was responsible for these small things, every time he saw Chu Xian, he deliberately ignored it, and it could be seen that the hostility towards Chu Xian in his eyes had not been reduced in the slightest, but Chu Xian would not be as knowledgeable as a small official, although Chu Xian knew that as long as Zhou Fang had the opportunity, he would secretly make a stumbling block for himself. It's like you need to use a horse, other officials are on call, and when it's your turn, they often have to wait for a long time, and it's like eating during the investigation process, everyone's lunch box is three dishes and one soup, but Chu Xian, there are often one or two things less, and a few times even the meal is cold.
