A little weak chicken came to Dali Temple

The night was dark and the wind was high, and the whole courtyard was quiet except for the whistling of the north wind. It was so dark that even the arresting officers like Zhang Jin felt eerie.

Teng Chong couldn't help asking: "Didn't you say that everyone has gone to the ancestral hall? Why are there no lights?"

Yeats also felt strange, wondering if the girl noticed that they were following her?Escaped from a side door or basement?

Yang Fuquan said with certainty but uneasy: "I went to the side door to meet you when I saw them going to the ancestral hall at the back."

Yeats patted the restless Xiao Quanzi lightly, "Don't worry."

After a while, several people touched the ancestral hall. Through the moon cave gate, a white lantern was hung at the gate of the ancestral hall.

"It's so quiet, it looks like there's no one there!" Teng Chong wanted to go over to have a look, and asked Yeats if he could show up now?

The north wind brought a smell of blood.

Yeats called out: "Not good." He rushed towards the ancestral hall.

The dim light of the lantern shone into the dim and dark interior of the small ancestral hall where the tablets were placed. On the ground of the ancestral hall, the woman kneeling on the side of the futon was bleeding from all seven orifices. Yeats hurried over to check her breath, but she was already out of breath.

She first touched the middle-aged woman's hand, which was cold, and then touched the neck near the heart, which was still warm. She had just passed away for about ten minutes, which was the time when Xiao Quanzi went to the side door to lead them in.

Yeats quickly got up and looked around, "Brother Teng, hurry up and take people to chase after those four people."

"Yes."

Before Teng Chong ran out of the Moon Cave Gate, Pei Jingning arrived with someone.

"My lord..." Yeats was neither surprised nor surprised.

Teng Chong hurriedly saluted and wanted to chase after the door, but was stopped by Pei Jingning, "I have arranged for someone to chase after him."

"My lord..." Yeats thought for a moment, "Is this woman related to the case you are investigating?"

Pei Jingning looked at the deceased on the ground, "I'm investigating another case, and the person involved is involved with her."

Yeats pursed her lips, "I didn't expect that another group of people would be alarmed by fishing with a line, my lord..." She looked at Pei Jingning apologetically.

"What should come will always come." Pei Jingning said, "The key now is to find the motive and evidence for Lei's stepmother to hire a murderer to kill, and close the case quickly."

"Yes, my lord."

Lei's stepmother's motive is to kill the first wife and take over the position of head of the family. As for the evidence...

Yeats looked at the memorial tablet in the ancestral hall, but it was not Lei's surname, "Lei's successor's surname is Liu, why is neither Lei nor Liu surname on the tablet, this Dong surname..."

Qiu Ju, who was 'framed', interrupted suddenly and said loudly, "This is Lei's first wife's surname."

A stepmother enshrining the tablet of Yuan Pei in another courtyard?No matter how weird he thought, Yeats suddenly thought of the two soul-suppressing charms, "Could it be... this is not an ancestral hall?"

Yeats hurriedly ran to the tablet, picked it up, and there was a ghostly drawing talisman on the back of the pitch-black tablet. It probably either cursed people or calmed souls. Anyway, it was not a good talisman.

Teng Chong said angrily, "This woman is too vicious!"

No wonder when I came in, I felt that this small ancestral hall was square and small, not like a ancestral hall, but it turned out to be a room for preaching and alms. Yeats looked at the small room again, and felt that it was the same as the reception room in Shanmiao Temple, as if it was another room. There is a mystery.

She hurriedly exited the small room, took the lantern from the guards, held it up high, and looked at the pattern of the spell casting room. Obviously, the spell casting room was not big, but the whole building looked huge from the outside.

Is there really a mystery?

Pei Jingning followed Yeats with his hands behind his back. When Yeats understood something, he understood it too, and immediately arranged for someone to inspect the rooms in the back row.

Half a quarter of an hour later, Bai Lang came out and called out, "Master Ye, we have torn down the sealed door, do you still want to see it at night?"

Don't investigate the case at night?
Yeats felt that what the white guard said was strange, but when she entered the back row of rooms, she was shocked. In the square room was a dark coffin. There were no real people in the coffin, but there were clothes and hats. There was a spell on the face, and the name on it was the name of the eldest son of the Lei family——Lei Honghao. Not only that, but all kinds of spells were pasted on the walls around the room, which was eerie and terrifying. .

No wonder the white guards don't recommend going in at night to watch it. If you don't have a strong mentality, you will really have nightmares when you go back.

In the other three rooms, respectively, the second son of the Lei family, the first wife of the Lei family, and the current head of the Lei family were respectively cursed.

Proper cursing and sorcery, so vicious!
Lei Liushi's poisonous death before Lei's yuan matching tablet, it is also what he deserved!
On the second day, Pei Jingning, as the young secretary of Dali Temple, arrested the relevant people around Lei Liu's family. Under the joint trial of Dali Temple and Pinghu Yamen, Lei Liu's most capable steward finally couldn't bear the pressure and confessed. The story of how Lei Liu, a ghostly ghost, passed through the alchemist of the rivers and lakes to cast spells and alms, and how he found professional killers in the rivers and lakes to kill the two brothers of Lei's family.

Yeats said coldly: "Liang Qiufu and the other three invested in Lei's brothers' silkworm release in spring, which is also one of Lei Liu's arrangements."

The master is dead, there is no need for the steward to hide, he nodded and admitted.

Yeats took out a portrait of a middle-aged man with white beard, "Who set you up with him?"

The steward shook his head, "This is really not a small person to look for, this man directly went to his wife, I just helped her."

Yeats looked dignified.

Seeing that the people in Dali Temple were going to be tortured again, the steward hurriedly argued for himself, "Everything that the young one said was the truth, so the young one hooked up with Mr. Liang and gave him 5 taels of silver to attract three other real men." The investor of the old man released silkworms for the elder and young master, and the younger one had to borrow a bank note to have a chance to have a look at him, otherwise, even if the elder took out the portrait today, the younger one would not know him."

Yeats could tell, the white-bearded middle-aged man was very cautious, but so cautious, would the housekeeper who saw his face live?

What if the face he showed was a disguised one?
Yeats understood that the case of the two corpses was over, but the case of the middle-aged man with white beard had just begun. Did Pei Shaoqing come to Jiangnan to handle the case for this case?
The Patriarch of the Lei Family did not react when he learned that his step-wife had killed his first wife's two sons, and even passed on the position of Patriarch of the Lei Family to the son of his step-wife. uneven.

"Is there no such thing as fairness in the world?"

Yeats was also annoyed, but there was no evidence to prove that the vicious step-sister's son was involved in the case, "Man is doing it, and God is watching. I believe in retribution, but the time has not yet come."

As a law enforcement officer, I hope that the reincarnation of heaven will reflect fairness and justice, which is actually a tragedy in itself.

The Pinghu County Government celebrated the achievements of Dali Temple officials and practiced it. Jiangnan delicacies did not make everyone in Dali Temple happy, and eating a meal was extremely depressing.

The county magistrate thought he had failed to entertain Pei Shaoqing well, so he was frightened and tried to find compensation, either to give silver or beauties, but he was blocked by Mr. Zheng who was next to Pei Shaoqing every time.

"Lord Fang, as long as you are a good parent, that is the best repayment to the Holy Majesty and Pei Shaoqing."

"Yes, yes, yes..." The Grand Master of Pinghu County is not very old, he was the first Jinshi after Emperor Longqi ascended the throne, he was sent to the south of the Yangtze River, and he was promoted to the Grand Master of the County within five years from a small county boss.

He heard the words in his ears, and he was a little unsure whether he should give this gift or not?

Mr. Zheng did not come with his master. He came to Pinghu by land. He came to Pinghu only two days ago. He saw that the master and Ye Pingshi at the dinner table were not very interested. There is a lot of care in my heart about the matter of the second wife.

He smiled and gave the county magistrate a look.

Fang Zheng was overjoyed, and glanced at Pei Shaoqing, who was in the main seat, and seeing that he was not paying attention, he leaned over quickly, "Sir, please tell—"

"Although the case of the Lei family's stepmother is closed, this woman is too vicious and unfavorable. As a parent official, Mr. Fang should be treated properly!"

"..." Fang Zhenghuai seemed to understand but also didn't understand, he had to try to figure it out.

Seeing Mr. Fang thoughtful, Mr. Zheng decided to pull out everything that should be pulled out, and it depends on how he will deal with it later.

After the celebration and practical banquet, everyone went back to the inn.

The winter in the south of the Yangtze River is gloomy and cold, and riding a horse is really hard for ordinary people.

Pei Jingning stood by the carriage with his hands behind his back, and looked at Ye Zhi.

Yeats wanted to pretend not to see it, and wanted to move to Teng Chong's side and walk with them.

After a period of time, Teng Chong discovered that Pei Shaoqing had no dirty thoughts about Yeats, but simply wanted to be nice to him. Although they were all men, what's wrong with someone being nice to him?

With a smile, he immediately moved three steps away from Yeats, and gave his immediate superior a smile of "See if I have eyes and ears".

The corners of Pei Jingning's mouth curled up slightly, and he was in a good mood to accept the subordinate's kindness.

"..." Yeats was almost taken aback by Teng Chong's tricks, couldn't it be, brother Teng also knew that she was a woman?

The cold wind was blowing, Mr. Zheng held back his smile, and hurriedly asked Teng Chong and others to take his carriage. Several guards and officials also had a carriage arranged by Fang County Magistrate.

Yeats was the only one, she lowered her head and pretended to be an ostrich and got into Pei Jingning's carriage, but she didn't even notice that before, Mr. Pei got into the carriage first, and she followed.

At this moment, Pei waited for her to get in the car first, and then followed.

If Yeats noticed this detail, he would definitely say that the feudal scholar-officials actually understand that women are first and full of gentlemanly sense?

There is a saying in later generations that people who like and love you will be full of love in every detail, and if they don't love you, they will show it vividly in every detail.

There is a charcoal stove in the carriage, and the cool body blown by the wind gradually warms up.

Pei Jingning poured a cup of tea and handed it to her, "Tomorrow, we will go to Jingling."

"The middle-aged man with white beard is in Jingling?"

"No, but to solve an unsolved case last year."

"Is it related to the middle-aged man with white beard?"

"Ah."

Yeats took the tea, took a sip, thought for a while and asked, "My lord, how many cases are there related to the white-bearded middle-aged man?"

The winter was dry, so Pei Jingning poured himself a cup of tea and took two sips before he replied, "There are currently five incidents."

"My lord, may I have a brief understanding?"

Pei Jingning said: "Five years ago, the old minister Qian Shi returned to his hometown in Shanyang after supporting the Holy Majesty to ascend the throne. When he was fifty miles away from his hometown, his whole family was killed and all his belongings were looted. The Holy Majesty heard about this. Outraged, Dali Temple was sent to investigate the matter thoroughly.

At that time, Dali Temple sent the Prime Minister of Jiangnanbu Temple to Shanyang to investigate the case in person. As a result, the Prime Minister of Jiangnanbu Temple stayed in Shanyang for nearly a year but failed to find the murderer. The case was investigated personally, but the case has not been resolved.

Until two months ago, before his death, a small trader in Shanyang County told his grandson about the murder he encountered on the road that day. At that time, he was anxious and just hid in the grass to relieve his hand. He rolled into a ditch overgrown with weeds on the spot, and he saw a group of men in black murdering people and stealing goods from beginning to end. In the meantime, when the wind lifted the veil of one of the masked men, he remembered the appearance of that man, a white-bearded man. middle-aged man. "

"The grandson of the small businessman brought this matter..."

"He secretly told the magistrate of Shanyang County that Mr. Qian's murder at the door of his house was a major case. In the past five years, every adult serving as the county magistrate of Shanyang County has been investigating. After receiving the news, he immediately passed the news to When I arrived at Dali Temple, the day after I presented it to the Holy Majesty, the case of the Lei brothers came out, and within a few days, you found a middle-aged man with white beard."

Yeats analyzed, "My lord, do you mean that middle-aged men with white beards specialize in robbing and defrauding rich people?"

"It should be a group of criminal gangs who specialize in robbing rich people."

"A middle-aged man with a white beard..." Yeats recalled, "My lord, a middle-aged man's beard is actually white. This is not malnutrition, it should be a disguise."

"Why don't middle-aged men deserve black beards, why should they have white beards?"

It's intriguing.

Yeats analyzed, "Perhaps it has the same meaning as the murderer in Beijing who pulled out the two front teeth of the deceased every time he killed someone. He told the Yamen and Dali Temple clearly that this case was handled by Lao Tzu. If you have the ability, you can arrest me. This is provoking the authority of the law enforcement agencies of the Great Wei Dynasty."

Pei Jingning looked cold and calm, "That's why the Holy Majesty asked me to take you south. We must find out the murderer behind this case and catch the white-bearded middle-aged man who disregarded the laws of Wei."

The Holy Majesty asked him to take her...

Yeats was surprised, "Your Excellency... Holy... Your Majesty knows this subordinate..." She is just a small investigator, how did the emperor know about it?

Pei Jingning raised his eyebrows, "Don't disappoint the Holy Majesty's expectations."

"My lord..." Suddenly, Yeats felt a lot of pressure, "What if... what if I can't solve it?" She is just an ordinary person, how could she solve any case.

There is no such possibility!

Seeing Ye Xiaozhi's pressure doubled and his pitiful appearance, Pei Jingning's eyes were soft and his voice was gentle, "With me, what are you afraid of." The corners of his mouth were raised with a bright smile.

"My lord—" Well, Yeats was suddenly very moved.

In an organization or group, it is not so important whether a leader knows a certain skill, or whether he understands a profession. A good leader is one who possesses specialties, develops his own ambitions, and realizes the maximization of personal value and group value.

Among them, taking responsibility for employees and letting them move forward without any scruples is an essential quality of a good leader.

The young Pei Jingning possessed such qualities, and being able to occupy a high position may have benefited from her status as a princess, but being able to convince others with virtue in a high position is a personal charm, which cannot be possessed by a princess's face.
