Chapter 348 Dead Man
Su Qing rolled her eyes, and after pondering for a while, she had a decision on her face, "I don't dare to make a choice, but I am willing to obey the emperor's arrangement. I will go wherever the emperor tells me to go."

Hearing Su Qing's answer, Hua Yueye smiled slightly, "Then you come to our Imperial City Division. The Imperial City Division needs talents like you."

Su Qing's favorite is to be an official.But with his current level, he must be a big official in the frontier.And the big officials in the frontier must be the emperor's confidants.

This is why it is necessary to obtain qualifications among the six films before it is released. What is obtained is not the qualifications, but the trust of the emperor.

The degree of trust belongs to both parties. As a minister, no matter how loyal you are in your heart, it is useless. You have to convince the emperor that you are loyal.As a monarch, your trust in a subject must be established between the monarch and his subjects working together again and again.

For about ten years, the emperor and his ministers waved their fingers like arms, and then released it to make the emperor feel that the land far away from the emperor has not left the emperor's control.

Since it is impossible to release it to the outside world, the next best thing to do is Huangcheng Division.Su Qing might be willing to change her qualifications in the six parts three years ago, after all, she didn't have that strength at that time.Now, Su Qing can't guarantee whether she will blow up the sixth part.

Although I like the Secretary of the Imperial Court, but the way of answering has to be strategic.If he directly said that he wanted to go to the Imperial Court Division, the superiors might think too much.The reason why Su Qing dared to say that it was all based on the emperor's arrangement was because she guessed that the emperor would like to put him in the imperial court department.

Otherwise, it shouldn't be Hua Yueye, the commander of the Imperial City Division, who made an appointment with Su Qing today, but one of the three elders of the cabinet.

After hearing Hua Yueye's words, Su Qing quickly bowed and bowed down, "If the emperor asks me to go to the imperial court department, I am willing to serve under the commanding seat."

"So good!"

On the back of the teahouse is the inland river of Jingzhaofu.The inland river was manually excavated and extended in all directions. It is the largest waterway transportation in Jingzhao Mansion, and it is also the river of life for the people at the bottom of Jingzhao Mansion.

In the middle of the river is the channel for cargo ships, and on the bank of the river is the channel for hawkers sailing along the river.They would sell while rowing.The singing of the sellers has a beautiful tune, and the high-pitched singing attracts the attention of the people on the river bank.

By the stone steps on the river beach, seven or eight women gather to wash clothes.Although the clothes are patched, they must be washed clean.

A cargo ship slowly passed by.The boatman stirred the rope and drew up the anchor.Something seemed to be hooked to the cargo ship's stern anchor.The crew pulled up the chain to lift the anchor, and it turned out to be a lock of long hair wrapped around the anchor.

"Ah—dead—"

"dead?"

In an instant, the inland river outside the window became noisy.The sudden noise also attracted the attention of the two people in the room.

The two turned their faces away and looked out the window at the same moment. The river bank was already crowded with people.

"Isn't it just dead people? What's there to see? When will the capital be free of dead people? Make a fuss."

"If you feel like making a fuss, don't squeeze, what are you squeezing?"

"It's a woman, and it's still a young woman. I don't know if it's an outrageous thing."

"I don't know. It would be a pity if a girl who was not out of the cabinet fell into the water. A big girl, how tight she was, just disappeared..."

Su Qing's gaze fell on the river through a space of hundreds of feet. Although the distance was very far, Su Qing could still see clearly at this distance with Su Qing's eyesight.

The woman who was slowly lifted by the iron anchor should have been killed by him.

hum-

In his mind, the case recorder sent a reminder, flashing blue light.The blue glow meant the case wasn't that big of a deal.And this is the capital city, of course it is impossible for Su Qing to do it for her.Without hesitation, he pressed down the case record.

Seeing this scene, Hua Yueye showed a teasing smile on his face, "I heard from the people below that Mr. Su likes to solve cases, and his eyes light up when he sees a case. That's true."

"There are many kinds of pastimes and entertainments. Some people love to play chess, some people love calligraphy and painting, and officials only love to solve crimes. They like the feeling of fighting criminals with wits and courage, just like fighting with people on a chessboard."

Hua Yueye nodded, "It's a good idea. The difference is that it doesn't matter whether you win or lose in chess, but you can't lose in solving a case. I've finished what I want to say, and I will arrange for you to meet the saint another day. You can go back and wait for the news."

Hua Yueye ended the conversation.

"Yes, then the officer will leave."

Bowing to leave, Su Qing took Xiaoya and walked home slowly.Along the way, Xiaoya kept looking around.

The bustling streets of the capital city and the exquisite goods everywhere are not comparable to Lingxi Mansion.Although Lingxi Mansion is also very prosperous, but not so much.

By the time she strolled to the door of the house, Xiaoya already had no less than seven or eight items in her hand.Happily, his eyes narrowed into a crescent moon.

Entering the yamen, passing by the outer courtyard, I saw Qian Yong standing in front of a corpse in official robes, and beside the corpse were several arresters and chief arrester Lin Wei.

Su Qing glanced at it casually, and found that the corpse was the female corpse fished out of the river.

Back to a quarter of an hour ago, Lin Wei took the body back to the government office and returned to Qian Yong.

Jingzhao Mansion is Zhili Mansion, which is different from local mansions.Local government offices have Tongzhi in charge of civil construction and general judges in charge of criminal law and order.It seems that they each perform their duties, but in fact it is to limit the prefect's monopoly.

But the Jingzhao Mansion is different. Although it is the chief official of a mansion, there are too many bigwigs in the territory and there is no possibility of monopolizing power.Therefore, Jingzhaofu not only did not have a general judgment, but also did not have a co-judgment.

Qian Yong is responsible for all civil, criminal, and national policies.What's even more sad is that there are only two counties under the Jingzhao Mansion, one is Chang'an and the other is Taiping!Together they are called Taiping Chang'an.

Very meaningful, isn't it?There is also an inner city in Jingzhao Mansion, named Huangcheng.Half of the imperial city is in Taiping County and the other half is in Chang'an County, spanning Taiping and Chang'an.

It is conceivable how obedient the two county magistrates under Qian Yong's rule are. It cannot be said that the subordinates violated the superiors, but they can definitely be regarded as having no superiors.

Qian Yong is the magistrate of Jingzhao Prefecture, a fourth-rank official, but his power is not as high as that of Su Qing, who was the county magistrate of Qingle County.

"My lord, according to the preliminary judgment, the deceased should have committed suicide. The corpse was originally sunk at the bottom of the lake, but was dragged out by the anchor of the ship. Because it was soaked in water for too long, there are almost no clues. And there is no way to find out where the corpse was thrown. The case has been solved. Extremely difficult."

"I just asked how long it will take for you to solve this case?"

Lin Wei silently lowered his head and dared not answer.

"Ten days?" Seeing Lin Wei's embarrassed face, Qian Yong asked tentatively, "Half a month? One month..."

"My lord, my subordinates will do their best."

Doing your best is a euphemism, how could Qian Yong not hear it?The actual meaning is that I will try my best to investigate, but there is no guarantee that I can solve the case.

"Forget it, let's hand it over to the Ministry of Punishment."

"My lord, this is the fourth case handed over to the Ministry of Criminal Justice this month. If there are more than four cases, it will be extremely detrimental to your lord's Beijing exam."

Qian Yong's face darkened, "You don't know if you are an official? If you can solve the case, I will hand it over to the Ministry of Criminal Justice?"

"My lord, this case is over. The identity of the deceased has been checked. This person is Ma Qiuniang, who was redeemed five years ago, a prostitute from a lowly family background. If he dies, he will die anyway, no one cares."

Qian Yong stared.

"What place do you think this is? The most important place in the capital, at the foot of the emperor, even a little bit of trouble can't be hidden from the eyes and ears of the Holy Majesty. How dare you neglect your duties? The death of a dusty girl is nothing, but it can kill you and me!"

At this moment, Su Qing walked slowly from outside.

Qian Yong looked up and saw Su Qing, his eyes lit up immediately.

"My nephew!"

Su Qing hesitated slightly, and stepped forward.

"Nephew, you came at a good time. You are the general judge of Lingxi Mansion, and you have the reputation of investigating cases like a god. I have encountered a difficult case here, can you help me with the details? All the manpower and material resources of Jingzhao Mansion, How about you just call it?"

At this time, the case record popped up again in my mind, and the blue light flickered slightly.

Su Qing was a little moved, and the reason why he didn't want to accept it was because he was afraid that it would be disliked if he overstepped it.And it's really boring to come to the capital for so many days.

This case is not high-level, it is very suitable for killing time, just treat it as a pastime.

"Since Uncle Qian has orders, my nephew will obey."

"Hahaha...With the ability of a good nephew, this case is not easy to catch. Lin Wei, you need to fully cooperate with Mr. Su, his orders are my orders."

"Yes!"

Qian Yong was overjoyed, dangling his embroidered robe and was about to turn around and leave.Su Qing suddenly stopped Qian Yong.

"Uncle Qian, my nephew has one more matter."

"Oh? What's the matter?"

"My nephew is going to move out later, let my uncle know."

"Why is this?" Qian Yong's face changed drastically, with a little panic on his face, "Is it because Uncle didn't treat him well? Or was he wronged somewhere? Just tell me."

"It's nothing. My nephew originally had a house in the capital, but it was a bit messy because no one lived in it all year round. Before my nephew came to Beijing, I ordered someone to clean it up. After coming to Beijing, it was still a little bit unfinished, and now it's cleaned up. Just moved over."

"So that's how it is! But you'd better live here. There's no one living there for a long time and it's not very popular. Even if it's cleaned up, it must be old. How can uncle live here comfortably?"

"Uncle's kindness is appreciated by my nephew, and my nephew's decision to go is decided." As she said, Su Qing folded her hands and bowed.

In this way, Qian Yong can no longer try to persuade him to stay.

He sighed regretfully, "Since you've lost your mind, then I won't try to keep you. But you can come to Uncle whenever you want, and you don't need to notify him, just treat it as your own home."

"My nephew has just taken over the case, so he must come to bother uncle from time to time."

Then he smiled at Lin Wei, "Captor Lin, can you tell me the general case?"

"Okay! The name of the deceased is Ma Qiuniang, she was originally a prostitute. Originally, with her beauty, it was absolutely difficult to stand out, let alone to redeem herself.

Five years ago, a group of envoys from the Kunlun Kingdom came to the capital.These people have hideous and ugly faces, resembling evil spirits.His skin is as black as carbon, his lips are as thick as a donkey's, and his body stinks.

Although extremely ugly but extremely rich, the country is rich in gold and gemstones.If I, Dayu, establish diplomatic relations with him, there will be a steady stream of gold income.

They have come to the capital for a long time, food and clothing, thinking about sex.But no one in the capital city dared to meet this group of Kunlun people who looked like Rakshasa.In the end, Ma Qiuniang broke her heart and stayed with these envoys for a month.It can be described as a battle to fame.

Since then, Ma Qiuniang has moved the capital in the name of debauchery, only you can't think of it, there is no one she dare not play.Gradually, fame-seekers gathered, and she also made a lot of money. Last year, she successfully redeemed herself from her humble status. "
