Chapter 81

In the southwest corner of Huai'an City, on the Xingbu Street, today ushered in the busiest day since the establishment of the Judicial Office.

If Xu Ming is still alive, he must be proud of today's ostentation——Cao Kaihe, the highest-ranking lord in Huai'an City and the commander of the water transport, personally led more than [-] people, and directly overturned the criminal yamen, just to carry Xu Ming away. Go back and have a decent funeral.

This master-slave feeling is really moving.

When Qian Yushi arrived in a hurry, Cao Kaihe's men had already carried Xu Ming's body out of the back hall, followed by Liu Yun who was staggering and chasing with the support of the guards.

Liu Yun's head was wrapped with a thick bandage, which was very eye-catching, so the official hat could only be held in his hands. If others made a mistake, they would think that Liu Yun was a dutiful son and grandson who was struggling to cry.

"What's the style? What's the style!"

Qian Yushi's face turned livid, strode over, and shouted, "Master Cao, what do you mean?"

"Master Qian came just in time, he can tell right from wrong, and give Xu Ming justice!"

Cao Kaihe looked sad, holding a stretcher in his hand, and said sadly: "There was an explosion in the city last night, and the suspect fled to the river. I saw it with my own eyes. When Xu Ming died tragically, Cao’s heart ached, and he came here to welcome him back to the mansion for the funeral, but he didn’t expect that the punishment would be so ignorant that he would not release his body, what’s the reason for that?”

Last night, the killer pretended to be a cavalry soldier, one after another, and everyone was in danger and surprised. Xu Ming died, and the killer was wearing his badge. Suspicion was revived. At that time, Liu Yun ordered his body and his entourage to be brought back. Qian Yushi is supportive.

But in the end Xu Ming is Cao Kaihe's subordinate, and there is no conclusive evidence to prove Xu Ming's treachery. It is reasonable for Cao Kaihe to be so angry. Qian Yushi knew it well, and his face turned pale.

"Master Cao, please be safe and don't be impatient. There was a lot of movement last night. If you want to come to the punishment office, you will deal with it carefully, and it is not a detention..."

"The body is lying in the back hall, and the family members are not allowed to see each other. Why is it not considered a seizure?"

Cao Kaihe observed his words, but he didn't give him a smooth answer, and immediately continued: "He followed me to serve the imperial court. He was immersed in the army for a long time, and he put life and death aside. He tied his head to his trouser belt. This is the time. If you are unlucky, you will have no complaints if you are killed by bandits."

All the soldiers behind him claimed it was true and were filled with righteous indignation.

Cao Kaihe suddenly changed the tone: "But he risked his life and forgot to die, and there was no reward behind him, so he was put in this prison together with his left and right. This is so embarrassing. If I don't find justice for him, How will you explain to Cao Jun in the future? Wouldn't it be chilling!"

The ethos of the army has always been very different from the ethos of civil servants. Cao Bing specializes in water transportation, and is less disciplined than the frontier army, but more gangster. Respond lightly.

It's just that Qian Yushi's function is where he chooses a rule of law in advance, whether it's the hidden weapon piercing Xu Ming's throat, the Linqing Bofu waist card on the killer, or the convenience of the killer hiding in the Cao army. However, upon further investigation, the general officer of the water transportation is by no means without suspicion.

Thinking of this, Qian Yushi's heart moved. It is normal for Cao Kaihe to have no one under his command, but he is also the general officer of the water transport who has the same responsibility for water transport. Therefore, you should know that Liu Yun's affairs are still within the regulations, but his current state of anger is far beyond expectations. Could it be that such a battle...?
Thinking of this, Qian Yushi glanced at Liu Yun, and suddenly said in surprise: "Master Liu, your head..."

Liu Yun smiled wryly and said, "Master Cao and Xu Ming have been friends for many years, but now they lost their arms in pain, so I can understand."

Qian Yushi immediately looked bad, "Master Cao did it?"

"Lord Cao!" Qian Yushi was really shocked this time, "The positions of imperial court officials are all delegated from above, and they have their own dignity. Following the law, is Uncle Cao putting honorable privileges above the king's law?"

He really deserves to be an official of the Metropolitan Procuratorate who swears, Qian Yushi immediately blew a wisp of beard like a cloud, beat his chest and stamped his feet, and quoted scriptures, linking the deeds of Cao Kaihe and Uncle Cao with the nobles. , and mentioned the excessive arrests in the three prisons in Huai'an Mansion before, scolding Cao Kaihe until his face turned pale!
Cao Kaihe was aloof in Huai'an mansion, and he changed his power, how did he go through this battle?It didn't make sense, Qian Yushi caught him in the wrong place, and was actually stopped for a while, unable to carry Xu Ming's body away.

Liu Yun watched from behind, anxious secretly, he had already got Shen Huai's original words brought back by his personal entourage, and was awakened by a single word, he actually wanted to release water this morning, wishing that Cao Kaihe would snatch Xu Ming's body away, but Qian Yushi firmly insisted , so that the plan in his mind was blocked, Liu Yun couldn't help secretly worrying, but he couldn't speak clearly.

Yushi impeaches hundreds of officials, the more impolite Qian Yushi is, the more reasonable it is, who can dissuade him?

Seeing the heads of onlookers starting to pile up in the corners inside and outside the yamen, Cao Kaihe, who was pointed and scolded by Qian Yushi, became impetuous, "Old man Qian Gang, are you scared of being an old man? Bullying me will not be unreasonable." ?"

He winked, and immediately three or five seniors appeared behind him, swearing and swearing, and one of them shouted, "Ladies, we punted the boat and went into the water last night. We picked up a life from the pile of hidden weapons. Who is offended? Will be locked up in this large punishment prison and slammed into the pot of shit? Brothers, whoever wants to suffer from this useless person will suffer! I would rather die than surrender!"

As he said that, he actually set up Qian Yushi directly and led him out of the right path, and the rest of them rushed out carrying Xu Ming's body immediately.

The so-called "a scholar meets a soldier, there is no reason to explain it", Qian Yushi was furious, but he had no martial arts, and immediately stared helplessly at the group of soldiers, seeing that they were about to leave the punishment office!
"presumptuous!"

With a loud shout, I saw a group of hula-la people blocking the gate of the yamen, and they were all dressed in military uniforms, and they immediately mixed together.

One person was dressed in an official uniform, and the more people came out, he shouted: "It's a mess, what a mess!"

This person's face was ordinary, but he was upright, with a pair of thin lips where there was almost no flesh between them.

When Cao Kaihe saw the person coming, he couldn't help being startled, his eyes stared like copper bells: "Hu Xing, what do you want to do?"

The person who came was Hu Xing, Li Cao who participated in politics, Hu Xing, who was thinking of replacing the Governor of Water Transport at that moment, Hu Xing, who hugged the skinny old man Xie Youlin's thigh in the Sanqing teahouse.

"Uncle Linqing, why are you so confused?!"

Hu Xing seemed to have just seen Cao Kaihe clearly, and immediately broke through the crowd out of breath, first went straight to Qian Yushi, and shouted at the soldiers who were still supporting Qian Yushi, "Don't let Master Qian go quickly? No matter how reckless you are, you shouldn't act like this, don't harm Uncle Linqing!"

As Hu Xing said, he pulled the soldiers away with his hands, supported Qian Yushi and asked if it was all right.

There was nothing wrong with Qian Yushi, apart from being angry, in fact, those cavalry soldiers had different subordinates, which made his old arms and legs quite uncomfortable.But how could he talk about such minutiae?He snorted heavily at the moment, and even said that Uncle Linqing is arrogant enough, and that the Huai'an Mansion hides dragons and crouching tigers, today is an eye-opener.

Hu Xing then turned to Cao Kaihe: "Lord Cao, Qian Yushi is known for his integrity, and we shouldn't be rejoicing at this time: Why worry about being unfair when a rich man sits in charge? Even if you are angry and sad, you should also think about it." For the overall situation, be more patient!"

With his back to Qian Yushi, his tone was sincere, but he winked at Cao Kaihe as he spoke.

Cao Kaihe was sprayed by Qian Yushi for a long time, and his face was not good-looking. He flicked his sleeves and snorted.

Hu Xing's eyes loosened, "Master Cao, if you believe in me, then wait a few more days until you find out the whole story and get to the bottom line, then Xu Ming will surely be buried in a grand manner, and the Cao Bing brothers will be treated with justice. "

Then he turned around and raised his voice: "Lord Caodu is not here, so I will temporarily handle this matter on behalf of Lord Qiu. Although Xu Ming and his followers are not charged with any crimes, they must cooperate with the investigation when it comes to last night's big case. Do not leave this criminal justice office for a while. Come, take over Xu Ming's body and its surroundings."

Cao Kaihe was still furious just now, but now he seems to be calming down, he actually recalled everyone, returned Xu Ming's body, and told the soldiers: "Go back to the camp quickly, I will explain to everyone." .

After the group of soldiers who had brought them retreated with a whimper, Cao Kaihe said in a low voice, "Then interrogate immediately."

After Hu Xing praised him, he asked Liu Yun: "Master Liu, do you think that you should go up for interrogation right away in front of all your lords?"

From the very beginning of his appearance, he took over the control of the scene, settled all parties in a few words, with reasons and evidence, and some of them reacted slowly and were even in a daze at this moment.

I have to say - this play is really well acted!
If Liu Yun hadn't known them for a long time, wouldn't he have believed this right away?

In fact, as one of the former members of the Cao Party, Liu Yun was very clear about the relationship between Hu Xing and Cao Kaihe. Uncle Xie Youlin is here, how could he be dragged by Xu Ming again and again?
And because of this relationship, even though Liu Yun no longer had any hope of going the way of Xie Youlin to get promoted and get rich, he didn't dare to offend Hu Xing too much.

Therefore, Liu Yun secretly speculated: Hu Xingduan has no reason not to turn to Cao Kaihe, but he came here in a hurry at this time, and he pretended again, not sure what he was planning?
Liu Yun was vigilant, but holding the official hat in his hand, he bowed and responded repeatedly, saying: "It's not that there is no trial, but there is still an important witness who was seriously injured last night. I don't know if the diagnosis and treatment are properly bandaged at this moment. , The interrogation has been delayed so far, it is indeed not intentional.”

As if in response to his words, there was the sound of wheels rolling on the bluestone slabs in front of the door, and a simple carriage stopped in front of the criminal justice office.

Shen Huai is here.

Cao Kaihe had a big belly and squinted his eyes, facing the sunshine of early spring, watching the young man walk out from the light source and step into the yamen calmly.

This was the first time he met Shen Huai face to face after receiving Zhao Qing's news.

With this face-to-face meeting, the anger and heartache in Cao Kaihe's heart that had been simmering since the early morning suddenly gained direction.

Without it, it's just that after Shen Huai entered the door, he came straight to him, saluted casually, and then asked plainly:
"Master Cao, last night Shen escaped from the dead with pain all over his body. I don't know who he offended and pursued him so hard. After thinking about it, I can only think of one person in the end... I heard that Master Cao and Zhao Qing acquaintance?"
