So I play chess

Chapter 232 Rumors
Although the official ranks of Northern Yu are not exactly the same as those of Southern Chu, they are both inherited from the previous dynasties, and they are all based on the original foundation, based on some specific and detailed reasons that involve the overall situation. Just made some adjustments.

For example, Beiyu did not have the title of "Great General of the Shangzhu Kingdom", but "Great Sima" was assigned to perform military affairs. Although the guards also had the title of "Great General", it was actually a false title.

In Southern Chu, the "General of the Shangzhu Kingdom" was set up at the beginning, but it was abolished after Du Xing forced the palace. Later, due to various reasons, Emperor Shizu of Southern Chu finally gave up the codes of "Great Sima" and "Great General" which were similar to those in Beiyu. The idea of ​​martial arts was changed to be temporarily supervised by Zuo Xiang. However, with the passage of time and changes in the Southern Chu court, this matter has not been put on the agenda again. Without the most important control in the court, each gradually has a tendency to grow stronger.

Now there is also a guess, that is, the new imperial edict issued by Lord Ling Guang has something to do with this situation.

There are also such things as: Beiyu and Southern Chu are each based on Fubing, while Beiyu has more than [-] Zhechongfu in each county to undertake the function of recruiting and training Fubing and transporting them to each county.

At first, Southern Chu assigned the same functions to several gentry clans whose foundations were not too deep, and they had always been the prefects of the Southern Chu Bingyuan County. Now it is actually completely in the hands of all armies.

Another example is that Southern Chu has two prime ministers, the gentry is valued, women can be officials, and there is a Lingguang Lord behind the court, all of which are different from Beiyu.

As for the specific counties, not to mention the irrelevant ones, there are inspection departments in both Northern Yu and Southern Chu.Therefore, for such a major case committed by Li Hengzhou, it is reasonable to say that the inspection department will definitely intervene, and will mobilize all relevant forces in the county and even the surrounding area to investigate.

The clue of buying things in the marketplace is too obvious and easy to find out with such strength, so Tang Mingyi asked this question logically.

But Wen Liang didn't know about these things, and now he was going back and forth: "It's not difficult in theory, but in reality, there are some situations that no one thought of in advance."

Tang Mingyi was naturally curious, and Wen Liang also explained his doubts.

First of all, after Fu Jingting was assassinated in Hengzhou, the inspection department of Hengzhou didn't pay much attention to these things left in his house, just because it was too simple, and this Hengzhou paper was too common in Hengzhou.

Then something happened to the Gu family, and the same thing must have been found at the scene at the time. Otherwise, no matter how dull Beiyu's inspection department is, they should understand that it is not a coincidence.

It was Nan Chu who discovered this rule first. After Li Hengzhou committed two cases in Nan Chu, the inspectors of Nan Chu State Middle School and the two counties, including Guangyang County, clearly knew about this. feature.

The Southern Chu inspection department wanted to find out privately whether there were the same rules in the two cases of Beiyu, but it suddenly dawned on the Beiyu inspection department who didn't know about it at the time, and then went to question the Gu family.

The youngest son of the original head of the Gu family who survived the disaster, that is, the new head of the Gu family at that time hurriedly mobilized people to do a thorough questioning and search, and finally found out that there was indeed such a thing in the house of the head of the family at that time. Yes, but there is no way to hand it in.

Hearing this, Tang Mingyi was finally puzzled, so he had no other scruples, and asked directly: "I saw it, but I didn't say it at the time, and I couldn't hand it in later. Is there any relationship between the new head of the Gu family and Li Hengzhou?" ?”

Seeing that he dared to think and ask, Wen Liang must have seen some such things. Then he thought again that Tang Mingyi didn't need to visit other fathers and sons, he had a deep understanding of it.

I wanted to think about it, but I didn't show any unnecessary expression, I just shook my head and said: "If it really has something to do with it, and I cover it up, I will naturally bite to death."

Tang Mingyi said: "But since the inspection department has intervened, I'm afraid ordinary people can't stand it if they use some means. If you don't say it at the beginning, it's common to say it later."

Wen Liang didn't deny him directly, but said: "If you think about it at the beginning, there is indeed such a possibility, but since they said it, the inspection department of Hengzhou didn't take any action against the Gu family afterwards, which means that Not for that reason."

After Wen Liang finished speaking, he was obviously not convinced by Tang Mingyi's appearance. After all, there is a cause and a consequence, and there may be more unknown involvements and relationships in the middle. This result may not reflect the truth, so he added some knowledge to him.

"However, there was a saying later that from the time the head of the Gu family was killed to the time when he notified the inspection department, many members of the Gu family entered the head's room, took away or covered up some unknown things, Disposing of these objects is actually a convenient act, it is his own care of the Gu family, and has nothing to do with the case."

When Wen Liang said this, Tang Mingyi understood and recognized it even more, so he said "So that's the case", and then asked the original question: "But this is less than a day since Fu Jingting's death. It’s only been a year, so it might not be too late to investigate at that time, not to mention that there are many cases of supporting evidence, and new cases will continue to come out later, there must be a way to verify.”

"This is what makes Li Hengzhou even better." Wen Liang sighed, but without a trace of helplessness on his face, he asked Hua Ji instead, "Have you heard of the follow-up of this ink brush?"

Just now, when Wenliang and Tang Mingyi were speaking, Hua Ji roughly inferred the eldest lady's current attitude towards Tang Mingyi from Wenliang's words. At this time, when Wenliang came to ask, he didn't hesitate, but just made a little effort in the spirit of being consistent. Some cover-ups: "Mr. Wen was right when he asked me. I often hang out in restaurants and teahouses, so I naturally heard about it from friends from all walks of life. After the accident in Guangyang, Li Hengzhou's reputation spread, both in the world and among the people. Forget it, although there are different attitudes towards him, most of them are admirable."

Tang Mingyi knew about this, but he didn't understand the reason. He only knew that the folks didn't know the specific situation of the person he killed, and the people in the market added fuel for various purposes, which eventually led to Such a result.

There was also a hint of playfulness in Hua Ji's tone, and he continued: "Actually, whether it's in the world or among the people, I don't know the details, but there are always people who think that his actions are quite legendary, and they always talk more lively in the chat. , Bizarre, can attract the listener's admiration, and the next one said, there is always something different than the last one. Slowly, it spread like this."
