Chapter 12 Xinyuan Inn Murder Case ([-]) Second Watch

Yu Shicheng had already woken up when he was thrown into the cell, and his mind was befuddled: what time is it today?Sunny and cloudy?who I am?where am I?
Suddenly a big brown-gray mouse ran past his feet, he screamed, and remembered everything.

He crouched on the ground with his head in his arms, crying uncontrollably.

This crying called the jailer: "What are you crying about! Shut up!"

Yu Shicheng raised his head suddenly, as if thinking of something, he quickly took off the jade pendant on his waist, and rushed to the edge of the wooden fence of the cell, holding the wooden fence with one hand, and stuffing the jade pendant into the jailer's arms with the other.

The jailer took the jade pendant with a smile, put it in front of his eyes for a closer look, put it into his arms and asked, "Tell me, who do you want to see? I'll help you bring them."

"Let me go!"

The jailer's smile was fixed on his face and before he could take it back, he reached into his arms and took out the jade pendant and threw it into the cell, and then shouted: "I'm afraid your head is sick!" He turned and left quickly.

……

When Qin Wubing stood outside the wooden fence with his hands behind his back, Yu Shicheng was pacing back and forth in the cell like a headless fly.

"I was wondering..." Qin Wubing deliberately prolonged his voice, and said with a smile: "Can you survive until the autumn queen? If it's just a human life, you can live steadily until the autumn queen, but this case I am afraid that many people in the court will be involved, who would be willing to let you live an extra day?"

Yu Shicheng was taken aback by Qin Wubing's sudden appearance, and after listening to Qin Wubing's words, his hairs stood on end. He was stunned for a moment, thinking that Qin Wubing knew everything about him. Kneeling on the ground with a plop, he rubbed his knees in front of the wooden fence, his nose and tears seemed to open the gate, and begged bitterly: "Little Qiye, I was blinded by lard for a while, and I just wanted to make some money." Yin Zihuahua, whose family members don't know about it, never thought of killing him!"

"But, you are still harmed! People cannot be resurrected after death."

"He forced me! I didn't know that he was down and out. If I had known in advance, I wouldn't have looked for him! Xiao Qiye, Fan Wenjin was not a traitor, but a Gongsheng who bought it with money, 1000 taels of silver!"

"So you think he will definitely be willing to do your business."

Yu Shicheng nodded madly: "How could he not only ask me to advance the money for him, but also ask me to borrow the money. Where can I get 5000 taels? Since he refused, he threatened me that he would bribe me." Publicizing the matter of the examiner is a crime of beheading, Xiao Qiye, I have no choice but to..."

"5000 taels?" Qin Wubing raised his eyebrows, this is quite a lot, even if he wants to withdraw it at once, he still needs to inform his mother, it is not necessary to pay thousands of dollars.

"The 5000 taels is what the person in Beijing wants, and there are still some people in the middle who need to take care of it. All kinds of people need 7000 taels..."

"Okay! I just don't understand the twists and turns. Let's not say that I don't know who the examiner is right now. Even if I know, I heard that the paper is sealed, and you are not allowed to draw a bastard to mark it. How can the examiner identify which test paper was spent?"

Yu Shicheng sighed, slumped on the ground, and said, "It doesn't matter who the examiner is, this is a common practice. As long as the words that were agreed in advance are used in front of the article, the examiner will know it at a glance."

"The money must be paid to the examiner first? Are you afraid that the examiner will renege on the money after taking the money?"

"How could it be! There are still such fools nowadays. The money is not handed over to the examiner, but someone who the examiner trusts will help to collect it. He will write down the IOU. If he wins, he will naturally tear up the IOU. If he doesn't If you get it, you can go to that person to ask for money by virtue of the slip, and there is no one who refuses to give it, and I dare not refuse to give it. This is because I am afraid that those poor students will take advantage of the loophole..."

"Ha, there is a third party!" Qin Wubing muttered, and then he felt a little heavy.

Just now he was telling Fang Rushan that this Yu Shicheng was very likely to be deceived by others, now hearing what he said was very logical, Qin Wubing understood in his heart that it might be true!

"I'm curious, you are running back and forth between Shicheng Mountain and Jinghai, relying on your own workshop to make a living, why do you have to participate in this kind of thing? Do you have relatives in the capital?"

Yu Shicheng sat paralyzed on the ground, with no strength left in his body, but the tears still flowed uncontrollably: "I also went to the casino to play a few times in my free time, and I owed some debts. If my family finds out, I will never let me leave Shicheng Mountain again! Qin Xiaoqi doesn’t know something. Every house in my house wants to fight for the line of Jinghai. It’s close to home, less up and down, and the business is easy to do. If... I can’t help it. Participating in it, and thinking that they have been doing it for so many years without incident, who would have thought that I just did it..."

"Who will help you connect?"

"A friend I knew in the gambling shop, he also advised me not to gamble again, saying that if I don't have his skills, I should not enter the gambling shop."

"His ability is to have a way to bribe the examiner?"

"Yes, he said that when he first started doing it more than ten years ago, it was very difficult. No one would believe it. He was also afraid that he would find the wrong person and cause trouble for himself. Now he doesn't have to look for it by himself at all, and someone will prepare money to find it. He, he only went to the casino to play a few games when he was bored, and he didn't care about the money at all."

"Isn't he afraid of losing his family and life if he fails?"

"He said that he was willing to spend money to do this. He was more afraid of things being exposed than he was. As long as you have a good eye when you first look for someone, don't look for those poor and pedantic students. It would be better if you have someone who knows the basics."

"So you thought of Fan Wenjin!"

Yu Shicheng lowered his head and said nothing.

Qin Wubing really didn't expect the government officials in the court to be so corrupted and so dark, he couldn't help but feel worried.

……

Next, Qin Wubing put away his anxiety of worrying about the country and the people, and thought about how to scare Fatty Fang into bringing this case to the light as soon as possible, so that as many people as possible can know about it, the better!

If there are still a few good officials in the court, or if the emperor finds out, it would be a good thing to investigate and clean up a group of moths. If everyone knows about the noise but nothing happens, Qin Wu If you think about it, then quickly find a place of idyllic beauty, and take your family to pick chrysanthemums and go down to the east fence, so as not to suffer from wars and chaos in the future!
……

Contrary to Qin Wubing's expectations, Fang Rushan was more troublesome than he wanted, so everyone knew that there was no need for Qin Wubing to say anything else. Obviously, he took the reason Qin Wubing helped him find before, and he took it for granted. He ordered the two The staff said this and that, and the two staff nodded frequently.

Concealment is a brain-intensive thing, but dissemination is a piece of cake.

Fang Rushan wanted to show that there was nothing he could do about it, and he was worried that others would be deceived again, so he reported it truthfully. As for the truth of the matter, Fang Rushan didn't care, he didn't even listen to Qin Wubing's deduction, so he was very Resolutely and neatly pointed out ten yamen servants, escorted Yu Shicheng to the Mingzhou government overnight, and went to find Cai Youkun, the governor of Caifu.

When Qin Wubing realized it, the county office was empty and quiet.

Qin Wubing thought to himself: This is really burning Fatty Fang, so hurry to throw it out!
