Daxianguan

Chapter 93

Seeing that it was the pen-holder of the inspection department, the steward hurriedly bowed in fright, Chu Xian didn't talk nonsense, and said directly: "Is there a record book for the paintings and calligraphy auctioned here?"

The steward said: "Yes, there are records of less than five years from the opening to the present."

"Is there an item and the buyer's name on it?" Chu Xian asked again, and the steward smiled, "Of course there are!"

Chu Xian was overjoyed, and immediately asked the other party to fetch it, but thinking about the five-year records, there must be dozens of books, many and heavy, Chu Xian simply asked the other party to lead the way, and went directly to check.

Wang Zan didn't know, so out of curiosity, he followed Chu Xian in.

There is a booklet for storing records at the back of Wen Yixing, because Chu Xian has to look at all of them, so many of them were taken down from the wooden shelf, and there was already a thick layer of dust on it, blow it, and the room is full The house is full of dust.

Chu Xian didn't care about the dust at the moment, but picked up one by one and flipped through them quickly.

Others saw that Chu Xian was flipping through the file too fast. A record book with dozens of pages was finished in just a few breaths. He couldn't even read the words clearly, but in Wang Zan's eyes, Chu Xian's seemingly nonsense behavior had a different meaning.

The manager here doesn't know Chu Xian well, but Wang Zan and Chu Xian have been in contact for so many days, and they already know the writer quite well. It is absolutely impossible for the other party to be someone who has nothing to do and came here to mess around.

There must be a purpose for Chu Xian to do this, and who said that he can't see clearly when he flips through so fast?

Some people are superior.

It took Chu Xian less than a quarter of an hour to read through dozens of volumes for five years, and he only read each volume once.

If it were someone else, I'm afraid I won't be able to remember anything, but Chu Xian has already memorized all the contents of these dozens of books in the Shenhai library.

"Thank you, I'm going to take one away!"

Chu Xian thanked the steward, and the steward did not dare to refuse Chu Xian's request, so after seeing Chu Xian took out one of the record books, he praised Wang: "My lord, let's go, Come with me somewhere."

Wang Zan was very curious, but he knew that now was not the time to ask, so he nodded. The two of them went out of this Wenyi trip, and Chu Xian actually walked towards the city government office.

It's just that Chu Xian went to the evidence department.

The evidences of major cases over the years are all here, so the Evidence Department is a large warehouse, which is divided into dozens of partitions to store items separately.

Of course, this is only the Evidence Department of the local city government after all, and don't expect to find all the physical evidence, especially some old cases, many of which are actually impossible to find.

But Chu Xian didn't expect to find the real thing, he just needed the records.

Every case will have detailed records, just like the tragedy of the Ding family, the items in the Ding family will be recorded, from as small as a vase to as large as a wooden bed screen, recorded in the record, maybe it will be used, This is what the city government yamen must do.

Chu Xian was a little apprehensive, he was afraid that the records of the Ding family's items would be lost or be 'destroyed' by others, but fortunately, Chu Xian's worries were a little unnecessary.

This kind of record book is of little significance in most cases, so Chu Xian managed to find the document file of the Ding family tragedy a year ago.

Next, Chu Xian still flipped through it quickly.

This time, there was only one book, so Chu Xian flipped through it faster, but finished it in a while.At the same time, the sound of the drum of Shengtang was also heard not far away.

The roar of the drums is shocking.

Chu Xian closed the document in his hand with a solemn expression.

"I've been promoted!" Wang Zan said next to him.

Chu Xian nodded: "That's right, I've been promoted."

……

In the lobby of the city mansion, Shen Ziyi was judged.

When Chu Xian arrived, the outside was already surrounded by people from the inner three floors to the outer three floors. There were common people and some small officials. In the lobby, the presiding judge was the order of Fengcheng Mansion. In addition to Shi Cuihuanzhi's two supervisors, there were military Sima Shen Jingzong, his wife Xiao Pingxuan, and Governor Shi Zhao Renze.

The soldiers inside occupied two rows, all armed with knives and sticks, extremely mighty, Chu Xian did not go in, but found Qi Chengxiang outside, and asked Qi Chengxiang to find Li Yanji.

Soon, Li Yanji came out from behind and said, "Brother Chu, it's the court trial now, what are you going to do?"

Chu Xian said seriously at this moment: "Brother Li, I want you to do something, immediately, immediately."

"Nonsense!" Li Yanji frowned, apparently in his opinion, nothing is more important than the current court trial, and he wants to be by Cui Huanzhi's side.

Chu Xian was helpless, and then said: "Brother Li, this matter is extremely important. Master Cui is inside, so I can't report it to him, but if he knows, he will definitely agree. If you are not willing, then I can only use In the name of the inspector general, I order you to do something."

Li Yanji still wanted to talk, but Chu Xian had already stepped forward and said something in a low voice. Li Yanji was taken aback when he heard it, then thought for a while, nodded and said, "Okay, I'll go and investigate this person, and you have to call The matter of the city guards is not a child's play, have you thought about it?"

Chu Xian smiled and said: "Brother Li, don't worry, I have a good idea about this matter, Qi Daochang, you just go to inform Wang Dutong, remember this matter is very important, you must inform her, she knows it is As I said, I will definitely bring troops to come.”

Hearing what Chu Xian said, Li Yanji didn't say anything, and immediately took Qi Chengxiang and the two of them to leave.

At this time, Chu Xian looked around and saw Wang Zan standing not far away, looking lost in the lobby, Chu Xian stepped over and stood side by side.

"Master Wang, when you helped me capture Fang Shun that day, the martial arts you used were very similar to the hand-to-hand wrestling techniques from the Hussars of Mengzhou. I don't know if Chu guessed right?" Chu Xian looked at him at this moment. Asked like usual.

Wang Zan's eyes showed surprise, he stared at Chu Xian for a long time, then looked into the lobby again, and said, "Master Chu is really knowledgeable and has strong eyesight, which is admirable."

"So, Chu guessed it right." Chu Xian smiled and said nothing. At this time, Shen Ziyi had already started to be interrogated in the lobby.

Seeing Shen Ziyi who was in a rather embarrassing situation, Chu Xian had a helpless expression on his face. This dandy young man has suffered a crime this time, but that's good too. Shen Ziyi's nature is not bad. With a little polishing, he can become a weapon in the future. This time Experience may not be a bad thing.

In the Tang Dynasty, kneeling was not mandatory, so even if Shen Ziyi was not a top student, he didn't need to kneel in the lobby. Of course, there were no seats, just standing was fine.

Today, the presiding judge of Fengcheng Cheng Ling is also under a lot of pressure at the moment. Those present today include the inspector censor, the commissioner of punishment, the county magistrate, and the governor Shi, almost every one of them has a higher official position than him. , so he didn't waste any time and started the trial directly. After bringing Shen Ziyi up, he started the interrogation.

This city order was nothing more than trying to draw Shen Ziyi into the case of Yushi's murder. Shen Ziyi was not stupid, he knew that the other party was digging a hole for him, so as long as it wasn't done by him and he didn't know, he would deny everything.
