The days when I ransacked the house in Jinyiwei

Chapter 188
Chang Feng stared at Shen Zhou.He didn't believe that Shen Zhou, a master of calligraphy and painting, would seek refuge with Li Guang as his inner ghost.

Shen Zhou told an old story: "You know that in addition to officials' private files, there are files of major cases in the archives."

"In the 18th year of Chenghua, Zhu Ji, the governor of Beizhen at that time, handled the murder of an official. The official who was killed was a head of the Ministry of Officials, surnamed Yuan."

"I drew a portrait of the criminal according to the description of the servant of Master Yuan's family. Beizhen Fusi arrested a suspect according to the portrait, and beheaded him after being convicted after interrogation."

Chang Feng nodded: "I know that many big cases in Weili were solved by the portraits you painted."

Shen Zhou said: "But, this case seems to be an unjust case! Last month, Shuntian Mansion caught an old thief."

"The old thief is terminally ill with consumption. When a man is about to die, he speaks well."

"He voluntarily confessed that he entered Chief Yuan's house to steal 13 years ago, and was caught by Chief Yuan, who stabbed him to death with a dagger in desperation."

Chang Feng was surprised: "That is to say, the criminal who was killed before was wronged?"

Shen Zhoudao: "It was wronged. Human life is at stake! I want to find out whether the portraits of those years were not the same; whether the people who were wronged died because of my brush."

"So I went to the archives for two days to find the old portraits in the files."

Chang Feng asked: "The result?"

Shen Zhou replied: "The old portrait is exactly the same as the real murderer. I think it was back then."

Shen Zhou's words stopped abruptly.

Chang Feng asked: "What happened back then?"

Shen Zhou said hesitantly: "It's not easy to speak ill of a deceased person. I think it was Wantong who urged Zhu Ji to solve the case as soon as possible. Zhu Ji randomly arrested someone to take the blame."

Chang Feng asked: "Can the origin of the unjustly killed person be found from the case files?"

Shen Zhou replied, "We can find out."

Chang Feng said: "If you are wrong, you are wrong. You can't let the grievances go unresolved just to protect the reputation of the deceased."

"You go to the San Judicial Department. Turn the case over and let the real culprit be brought to justice."

"In addition, if the parents, wives, children, or relatives of the unjustly murdered person can be found on the household registration, they will be compensated with 500 taels of silver. The money will come from Wei Li's private treasury."

Shen Zhou cupped his hands: "I thank Master Chang on behalf of the unjustly killed."

Chang Feng said: "Okay, you go out."

After Shen Zhou left, Fatty Xu rubbed his belly and said, "I don't think Shen Zhou is an insider."

Chang Feng nodded: "He has been a painter all his life and has never participated in power struggles. How can such a person who is indifferent to fame and fortune attach himself to powerful officials and frame important officials?"

Fatty Xu said: "There are three people left, who will be next?"

Chang Feng said: "Call Wang Miaoxin to come in."

Wang Miaoxin, a player from the small country, is worthy of entry.

Chang Feng cut to the chase: "Brother Wang, you went into a stall three days ago, what did you do?"

Wang Miaoxin replied without thinking: "I went to check the secret files."

In the case of the Condor Club, Chang Feng found the secret file in the ruins of the teahouse.Since then, the hidden pile secret file has been stored in Jinyiwei's stall.

Chang Feng asked: "Oh? You checked the secret file of the hidden stake, are you going to activate the hidden hidden stake?"

Wang Miaoxin replied: "Exactly! In the first month of last year, Turpan leader A Heima invaded Hamiwei. The imperial court sent Liu Ning, the general soldier of Suzhou, to lead troops west to repel them."

"However, the so-called 'repelling' is nothing more than killing eight hundred enemies. Turpan's vitality has not been damaged."

"In the past year, Ahema has been busy fighting with Chijin Mongolia, and has no time to invade Hami again."

"But recently, Nansi's hidden stake in the Western Regions sent back news that A Heima has defeated Chijin Mongolia."

"So I plan to use the secret posts of the Zhonghui, Hacihui, and Uighur tribes in Turpan to closely monitor the movements of Amahei."

"The contact information, hidden identities, and secret words of the three clans' secret piles are all in the secret pile list. So I went to the stall three days ago."

Chang Feng admired: "Those who don't plan for the world will not plan for a while. Brother Wang is worthy of being a national player, and his thoughts are really meticulous."

"The imperial court is still immersed in the joy of winning the Western Expedition last year. You are already planning for the next war."

"At the beginning, I recommended you to do the right thing and also serve as the governor of Nanzhen. It was really the right choice."

Chang Feng's praise was sincere.Nanzhen Fusi cannot do without Wang Miaoxin, a man who is good at planning.

Wang Miaoxin said with a smile: "Master Chang is too famous."

Chang Feng suddenly asked, "Brother Wang, what is your relationship with Eunuch Li, Supervisor Bingbi?"

When he asked this sentence, Chang Feng kept staring into Wang Miaoxin's eyes.

Wang Miaoxin replied: "I have seen it a few times. It is purely the relationship between the superior and the subordinate. There is no personal relationship."

Chang Feng could not see deceit from Wang Miaoxin's eyes, only sincerity.

Wang Miaoxin asked: "Why did Master Chang suddenly ask about my relationship with Eunuch Li?"

Chang Feng replied: "Oh, it's nothing. It's just a random question. You go down first."

After Wang Miaoxin left, Fatty Xu said: "You won't easily rule out the little national player, right?"

"After all, he is a national player of the fourth rank. In terms of intelligence, there is probably no one in Jinyiwei who can match him."

"If a person like him wants to lie, he will definitely be able to keep his face from blushing and his heart beating."

Chang Feng said: "His suspicion cannot be ruled out. But at least there are no loopholes in his words. How should I put it? The probability that he is an insider is at most [-]%."

Fatty Xu said: "There are two more people. Who's next?"

Chang Feng said: "Ask Black Maitreya to come in."

Black Maitreya Zhao Xiangfo walked in.He held a string of prayer beads in his hand.

Chang Feng believes that those who believe in Buddhism have nothing to do with the world.During the Chenghua period, Zhao Xiangfo lurked in the bitter cold of Wusi Tibetan Snow Mountain for ten years without any complaints.

At the beginning, there were three thousand households in Nanzhen Fusi, Sun Guishou was promoted by Chang Feng to become You Tongzhi, and Wang Miaoxin was promoted by Chang Feng to become Youqianshi and Nanzhen Fushi.Only Zhao Xiangfo was not promoted in his original position.

Chang Feng smiled slightly: "Zhao Qianhu. What are you up to recently?"

Zhao Xiangfo replied: "Back to Master Chang, recently I am training the hidden stakes sent to Annan."

Chang Feng asked: "Oh? Annan has been provoking troubles on the border for the past few years. It is indeed an important matter to grasp the information on Annan."

"By the way, is that why you went to the stall for two days?"

Zhao Xiangfo replied: "Exactly. The new hidden stakes must be recorded in the hidden stakes register. Otherwise, if someone sends them out, they will become kites without identity."

Chang Feng nodded: "Yes. By the way, now our private treasury in Weili has a surplus every year. I plan to increase the salary of the hidden piles of expatriates. What do you think?"

Zhao Xiangfo bowed to the Buddha: "Amitabha, Lord Chang is very kind. I have been a hidden stake for foreign missions, and I know all the sufferings of hidden stakes for foreign missions."

"It's very kind of you to be able to raise their wages."

Chang Feng said: "Success. You can go to the accountant Baihu Ding to make a calculation. Tell him to increase the salary by [-]% for the hidden posts of expatriates."

Zhao Xiangfo left with a thousand thanks.

Fatty Xu said: "Yes, another plausible one with good reasons. There is the last one left. I'll call Gao Wenze."

Gao Wenze, who was in charge of a hundred households, entered the duty room, his eyes flickering, as if he had something on his mind.

Chang Feng asked: "Gao Baihu, why are you so sad?"

Gao Baihu said: "There is something strange, I forgot to tell Master Chang."

Chang Feng became interested: "Oh? What's the matter?"

Gao Baihu told this strange thing.

The Jinyiwei stalls are divided into three stalls, A, B, and C.

The roster of hidden piles in charge of the Fusi of Fangnan Township in District A, and the intelligence of the enemy country collected over the years.

The official in charge of Fusi of Fangbei Township in District B, Xungui's private file.

District C stores the case files of Qin cases handled by Beizhen Fusi over the years.

Two days ago, Black Maitreya, Zhao Xiangfo, wanted to enter the archives, saying that he wanted to add his name to the roster of hidden stakes.

Gao Baihu unlocked the door of the stall for Zhao Xiangfo and let Zhao Xiangfo in.He himself sat in the external value room of the stall.

Coincidentally, a rat-proof fat chrysanthemum cat raised by Gao Baihu ran into the stall.

Gao Baihu remembered that the fat chrysanthemum cat hadn't had lunch yet, so he called it back.

The fat chrysanthemum cat didn't listen to him, and went straight into the back of the stall.

Gao Baihu left the external value room and looked into the stall.But he saw Zhao Xiangfo standing in District B.

If it is to add a name to the hidden pile roster, Zhao Xiangfo should go to District A, why stand in District B?Area B is where officials' private files are stored.

Seeing Gao Baihu looking at him, Zhao Xiangfo smiled awkwardly: "I haven't entered the stall for a long time, I went to the wrong place."

Speaking of this, Chang Feng frowned: "He is the old Feiyu in Jinyiwei, how could he not be able to tell the difference between the three stalls?"

Gao Baihu said: "Master Chang, don't worry. There are even more strange things!"

Chang Feng asked, "Oh? What's the matter?"

Gao Baihu replied: "At noon that day, the waiter in Weili brought me a cup of tea, saying that it was the pre-rain tea that just fell this year for me to try."

"I was just about to drink, and I happened to be full of feces, so I went to Gong's room."

"When I came back, I saw my fat chrysanthemum cat, licking my tea."

"People can't drink the tea that cats have drunk. I drove away the fat cat and spilled the tea."

"After about two moments, the fat chrysanthemum cat twitched and foamed at my feet, and died!"

Chang Feng was surprised: "Someone wants to poison you? Why didn't you say it earlier?!"

Gao Baihu smiled wryly: "At that time, I thought that the fat chrysanthemum cat was playing around crazy, and went to the Liubu yamen across the street to eat grain bait mixed with rat poison."

"I didn't take it seriously, so I buried the fat cat."

Chang Feng sighed: "This unlucky fat chrysanthemum cat! It is likely that it died for you. Where did you bury it?"

Gao Baihu replied, "It was buried under the crabapple tree outside the stall."

Chang Feng said: "Okay, this time we have to do an autopsy on a cat. Fatty Xu, go and call Taoist Zhang under the crabapple tree."

Daoist Zhang made a fuss about resigning from office for ten years, but he didn't resign in the end.Now that he has been promoted to a thousand households, he is still in charge of autopsy.

Chang Feng followed Fatty Xu, Zhang Daoshi, and Gao Baihu to the base of the crabapple tree.

Fatty Xu dug up the cat's corpse with a shovel.

The cat's corpse was already stinking, and the water flowed from the corpse.

Daoist Zhang held his nose: "It's my routine to examine human corpses. Examining cat corpses is really the first time a little nun got on the sedan chair."

After speaking, Taoist Zhang took out a fragrant towel and covered his nose.He also took out the set of household items for autopsy.

Taoist Zhang first stabbed the cat's corpse with a silver needle, but the silver needle did not turn black.

He said: "It seems that he did not eat ordinary poisons such as Hedinghong."

After speaking, he opened the cat's mouth with his hand and took a look.

It doesn't matter at this point, he was shocked: "It turned out to be a strange poison from outside the territory?"

Chang Feng quickly asked, "What strange poison?"

When asking this question, Chang Feng saw the teeth in the cat's mouth turning green.

Daoshi Zhang didn't answer, but took out some powder and soaked it in a bowl of water.Another cat tooth was pulled out with a pair of small pliers and thrown into the water.

The green cat's teeth entered the water, and small bubbles began to bubble up.

Daoist Zhang stood up: "Master Chang, I can determine what kind of poison is in this unlucky cat. It's the strange poison in the snowy land, green aconitum!"

"Green aconitum is a kind of flower. It grows in snowy regions. When it is ground into powder, it is a poison that can kill people. It is colorless and odorless when dissolved in water."

Changfeng took a breath.

Gao Baihu saw that the black Maitreya Zhao Xiangfo went to the stall B area where he should not have gone.

Someone planned to poison Gao Baihu that very day.Fortunately, the fat chrysanthemum cat was thirsty and drank the poisonous tea for him.

Taoist Zhang said that the poison was a strange poison in the snowy region.Zhao Xiangfo also hid in Wusi Tibetan Snow Mountain for ten years.
The inner ghost gradually became clear, it turned out to be him!
Chang Feng lowered his voice and told Fatty Xu: "Go and arrest the waiter immediately."

Chang Feng returned to the duty room, ready to interrogate the waiter who delivered tea to Gao Baihu.

Unexpectedly, it took Fatty Xu an hour to go.

An hour later, Fatty Xu left and came back: "Master Chang, General Banner of General Affairs said that the waiter has not been on duty for two days."

"I went to the tea house. His old wife said that she hadn't seen him for a day and a night."

"Did the waiter abscond in fear of crime? Do you want to go to sea to arrest documents?"

Chang Feng shook his head slightly: "No need. The emperor asked us to clear Li Dongyang and Xie Qian before the court tomorrow morning. It's too late to go to sea to arrest the documents and arrest them now."

"The inner ghost is a person who is proficient in assassination and secret control. It is not difficult to make a waiter disappear out of thin air."

Fatty Xu said: "You mean, the waiter has silenced that person?"

Chang Feng said: "Nine out of ten."

Fatty Xu suggested: "I think the inner ghost must be Zhao Xiangfo. Can't you arrest him and use the memory recovery technique?"

Chang Feng smiled bitterly: "He has always made great contributions to the country. We have no proof, just suspicion."

"Put him to death, if he is wronged, wouldn't it chill the hearts of the old brothers in Weizhong?"

Fatty Xu said, "Then what should we do?"

Chang Feng asked: "Fatty, do you think I have treated Zhao Xiangfo badly in recent years? Does he have resentment in his heart?"

Fatty Xu sat on the chair: "Cough. How do you say this? If you didn't promote Sun Guishou and Wang Miaoxin, you wouldn't treat Zhao Xiangfo badly."

"Originally they were all from thousands of households. If you promoted grandson and king, but didn't promote him, it would be a mistreatment."

"I'm afraid of comparing people to others. Comparing people to others will make people angry! Can he have no resentment in his heart?"

Chang Feng said: "I didn't promote you either. Why don't you complain?"

Fatty Xu said: "I am like an idle official in Jinyiwei. If I have nothing to do, I will sneak away to visit Yihonglou to try new products."

"I haven't suffered for Jin Yiwei in these years. Besides, I still have the duke title to inherit. It doesn't matter if I get promoted or not. I don't have any resentment in my heart."

"Zhao Xiangfo is different. He suffered a lot in Wusi Zang Snow Mountain for the imperial court!"

"That damn place is said to be so cold that you can freeze half of your shit. You have to bring a shit stick when you go out to shit."

"Zhao Xiangfo returned to Wei Li and worked as a thousand households for nine years in a row without being promoted. It's strange if there is no resentment!"

Chang Feng said: "You are right. I can't expect everyone to be indifferent to fame and wealth."

Fatty Xu asked, "What should we do now?"

After Chang Feng thought hard for a while, he said, "I'm going to start a fight."

　I recommend my elder brother Que Jinxishui's courtyard house book "Siheyuan: Don't Mess With Me, I Just Want to Be a Free Fish".There are nearly [-] high-quality books in the Siheyuan category, and the quality is harder than my hemorrhoids.If you like courtyard books, definitely don't miss it.
