Chapter 238 Controlling Hangzhou County

At the beginning, after Li Taishou received the news from Marquis Cheng'an, he discussed with the county magistrate Wang that after the embankment was destroyed, the disaster must be [expanded], and the responsibility for the severe disaster should be shifted to the eldest princess.

Even if the imperial court investigates, it can only find out that the officials of Hangzhou County, big and small, have tried their best to fight the disaster and save the people without any slack.

The severe disaster was caused by insufficient funds for the river.

When the public complained, the news was released that it was the Eldest Princess who had harmed the country and the people, aroused public indignation, and submitted a letter to request His Majesty to punish the Eldest Princess. It is impossible for His Majesty to protect the Eldest Princess.

The downfall of the eldest princess is just around the corner.

At that time, Marquis Cheng'an suggested that the third prince should come to Hangzhou County for disaster relief. They only need to do their best to help the third prince solve the disaster. Not only will they not be guilty afterwards, but they will even become "great heroes" for all-out disaster relief.

The third prince will definitely be grateful for their help, and his official career will be smoother in the future.

They did all the bad things, and they got all the good things.

But he never expected that the eldest princess who was imprisoned in the palace would quietly come to Hangzhou County before the arrival of the imperial supervisor Shi.

All plans fell through.

He even got in by himself.

Li Taishou was imprisoned, Jiang Fuguang entered the county office, posted the 24 urgent documents she had previously submitted to the gate of the county office, and asked General Xuanwei to leave for Xin'an County immediately, control the officials of the county office, and follow the contents of the documents As mentioned above, organize the people to prevent floods and fight disasters.

Habayashi Wei sent the results of the investigation of the destruction of the embankment.

There is a thick stack, all of them are Taishou Li and County Magistrate Wang, who have all contacts in Hangzhou County within the eighteenth generation of their ancestors.

Jiang Fuguang checked carefully and found that Wang County Magistrate was not from Zhejiang Province. He was transferred to Xin'an County for three years and had no deep roots in Hangzhou. If he listed and connected his interpersonal relationships in Hangzhou, everything was clear at a glance, and there was really nothing to check.

But Li Taishou, the interpersonal relationship is much more complicated than that of Wang County Magistrate.

Jiang Fuguang took Li Taishou as the center and drew a simple diagram of the relationship between the characters. He found nothing wrong, and Habayashi Wei did not find any clues.

Does she always feel that something is wrong?The relationship between the characters was drawn over and over again.

"Prefect Li is from Dali Village, Anyang Township, Xin'an County."

"My first wife, Wang Shi, is from Wangjia Village, Anyang Township. Her mother's family has more than ten acres of fertile land. It is the Wang family who support Li Taishou to study and become an official."

"The confidante of the Wang family died of illness shortly after Li Taishou entered the court as an official. Li Taishou was grateful for the kindness and righteousness of his deceased wife, and mourned for his deceased wife. Married to a daughter of the Su family, a small family in Hangzhou City."

……

Because of his wife Wang's early death, and because of her humble background, her interpersonal communication is also very simple, which can be understood at a glance.

After Habayashi Wei checked and found nothing wrong, he focused on the Lin and Su families.

Anyone with a discerning eye knows that Li Taishou and Lin Su's family are very involved, and it is very likely that Li Taishou will not be involved in the destruction of the embankment.

So……

Jiang Fuguang focused his eyes on his dead wife Wang, and suddenly asked: "Wang's natal family also has an elder brother named Wang Youcai, have you checked this person?"

Habayashi Weidao: "The relationship between Wang Youcai and Li Taishou is very bad. After Wang's death, Wang Youcai went to the Yamen several times to beat drums and complained, suing Li Taishou for murdering his wife Wang in order to climb up to the Su family. Li Taishou studied and became an official, and this incident once ruined Li Taishou's reputation."

"But not long after, it was reported that Wang Youcai became addicted to gambling. He not only ruined his family business, but also extorted money from Prefect Li several times. reputation."

No one would believe a bad gambler's words, and the murder of his first wife, Wang Shi, was easily resolved.

Jiang Fuguang thought so deeply: "Is the death of Mrs. Wang related to Li Taishou?"

"There is indeed something strange about Wang's death. Due to the age, it cannot be verified in a short time. However," Habayashi Wei changed the subject, "While Wang was still alive, Li Taishou had an affair with his stepwife, Su."

From this point of view, Wang's death is probably related to Li Taishou.

How can a peasant wife who can't stand on the stage compare with the daughter of a family?
Everyone knows how to choose.

Jiang Fuguang frowned: "What is the relationship between Wang Youcai and the Wang brothers and sisters?"

"Wang Youcai has always been kind to the Wang family, and the relationship between brother and sister is also very good."

Many years later, Habayashi Wei could still find out in a short period of time that there was something strange about Wang's death. Wang Youcai cared about his younger sister Wang, so he must have discovered something strange, so he sued Prefect Li several times.

"When did Wang Youcai become addicted to gambling?" Jiang Fuguang asked again.

"Not long after Mrs. Wang's death, someone set up a trick to deliberately induce him to become addicted to gambling."

In this way, everything is connected in series.

In order to gain access to the Su family, Li Taishou murdered his wife, Wang Shi. Wang Youcai found out about it.

In order to get rid of Wang Youcai, Li Taishou deliberately set up a trick to make Wang Youcai addicted to gambling. No one would believe what a bad gambler said. Not only did he save his own reputation, but he also harmed Wang Youcai. His methods were despicable and clever.

Jiang Fuguang frowned: "Besides this, are there other clues?"

Mrs. Wang has been dead for many years. No matter how deep the feelings are, no matter how much hatred, they will be worn away at the gambling table day after day. There are only eternal interests in this world, and there are no eternal enemies.

Habayashi shook his head: "We checked Wang Youcai's interpersonal relationships. This person has some skills. He worked as a thug in the casino. He mostly stayed in the casino and gambled when he had money. For the time being, we haven't found any other clues."

Wang Youcai's reputation is well-known, and the casino needs such a messy person to control the place, send out troublemakers, and help the casino collect debts. These people often help the casino collect debts, use debt collection to make private money, and they are not short of money.

Jiang Fuguang rubbed his forehead: "Continue to investigate deeply."

Habayashi Wei took the order and left.

Yingluo came over to report Mr. Ji's injury: "Mr. Ji's injury is not serious, and the wound is not deep. The doctor has treated the wound for him."

Jiang Fuguang frowned: "He is dizzy, how could it not be serious?"

After returning to Hangzhou, Habayashi Wei was surrounded by eyeliners, and he couldn't go to see Ji Ruxuan's injury in person.

In addition to the serious situation in Xin'an County, she couldn't escape for a while.

"The archer is dying to fight back, and the power of this arrow is also greatly reduced. Mr. Ji's internal energy is too exhausted, and because he is too tired, he fainted."

Jiang Fuguang frowned, but he still didn't relax, and asked about the injuries of several guards. Wei Jiu was the most seriously injured. Fortunately, he dealt with the injuries in time and escaped smoothly.

Wei Twelve was chased by the killer and rescued by Ji Ruxuan who rushed over. His injuries were not serious and he would be back after a few days of recuperation.

Wei Si, on the other hand, was seriously injured and needed to be raised for a while to recover.
