Chapter 105 A Murder Case(1/2)
The world is full of chaos and chaos, and such peaceful days are really rare.
Being sleepy in spring and tired in autumn, I couldn't help but yawn.
Green trees and red flowers, full of vitality.
The street is bustling with people and a few children are playing. I want to keep this moment. It is so beautiful.
It was rare for the Ming Dynasty to have such a peaceful situation, with Japanese pirates invading the border in the south and Mongolian plunder in the north.
Wealth and prosperity always make people miss it, but it may disappear in the blink of an eye.
The same is true in this county. There is a group of bandits named Liu Ruyan here all year round, causing harm to everyone.
I have been here in Longzhi County for three years, and I have also followed and handled countless cases, large and small, that Liu Ruyan has worked on for three years.
My heart can never let go for a day. If I can find a moment of peace, it can only be in a dream.
But I am sleepy in spring and tired in autumn, and my dreams during the day are still disturbing and unforgettable.
I put away the thread-bound book "Water Margin". Because I was snoozing, I had accumulated a lot of things that needed to be dealt with. The various cases, large and small, were already one foot high.
I brought a petition, but when I read it horizontally I couldn’t read the reason why. It was because the Chen family’s duck fought with the Lin family’s big white goose, and both the duck and the big white goose were injured. Both the Chen family and the Lin family handed over the petition to express their grievances, and asked the county magistrate to
Do justice.
Since Long Zhixian is not here, it is up to me to make the decision. I have looked over and over again, so what can be considered fair?
Is it possible that the ducks of the Chen family and the geese of the Lin family should be sentenced to fight and cause trouble and be thrown into prison?
However, both the Chen family and the Lin family submitted second petitions. The Chen family's duck and the Lin family's big white goose had unfortunately died in the past few days, which must have been related to the fight. It seemed that in their eyes, this would be upgraded to a murder case.
The Chen family and the Lin family are both well-known poor families in this county. When I look at this piece of paper, I will know why they are where they are today.
The duck and the big white goose are both murderers and victims. They died well and by chance. I couldn't help but make up my mind: I sentenced the Chen family's duck and the Lin family's big white goose to death, and they were executed immediately.
This is really a happy thing. Longzhi County has done a lot of good deeds.
I planned to draft a letter of praise praising Longzhi County early, for fear that the Chen family and the Lin family would not know how to express their gratitude, and would instead make their jealousy sour.
However, I saw another urgent report. Sima Xiaoguang, the richest businessman in Liaodong, will come to this county to do a big event in the near future. They can come as they come. Who is this bullshit report from? So disgusting!
I'm very angry. Is my master very idle?
Next, there was a tip. Ma Qianli, the leader of the Northwest Caravan, was coming to this county to handle a big event. I felt incredible. The Northwest Caravan was not someone to be trifled with. Why did they come all the way to Jiangnan?
Liu Ruyan, Northwest Caravan, the richest man in Liaodong!
Is there any connection between them?
Maybe these people who wrote the whistleblower were very busy and I was too lazy to pay attention to them. They were bored.
Longzhixian was not at home, so I was Longzhixian, but Longzhixian’s third concubine was still his third concubine. I looked up and saw her graceful back.
She walked away slowly. These ladies were extremely chic, and they had business on their hands. They were very lucky.
I felt very bored for a moment, and I was about to stretch my legs when I suddenly found my old partner Li Kui rushing over.
Li Kui is a detective in the county government of the Ming Dynasty who is extremely quick-thinking and extremely skillful.
His image is like the black whirlwind in "Water Margin". I don't know whether it is a trick of fate or a mental connection. His parents named him Li Kui, and he also grew up to look like Li Kui.
He and I worked together to solve major cases committed by Liu Ruyan, but Liu Ruyan's leader has still not been found in the past few years.
I shouted: "Black Tornado!"
He said anxiously: "Something bad is going to happen!"
I couldn't help but cheer up and asked mechanically: "What's the matter?"
"There was a murder in Chenjiazhuang!"
"Homicide!" This is not a trivial matter. How can it be tolerated under the rule of the Emperor of Heaven? Hasn't Liu Ruyan done enough?
"Yes! A murder case, the second young master of Chenjiazhuang was killed!" Li Kui was sure.
I stared at him, trying to discern some clues from his eyebrows and expression, but he didn't look like he usually competed with me.
Was there really a murder?
Longzhi County is away and a murder case has not been reported. What should I, a master, do to deal with it?
"We might as well go take a look, maybe we can find some clues!"
The so-called clue is where Liu Ruyan's traces are hidden. Li Kui is asking me for instructions!
I walked away from the desk, still tired, but I was also very strong.
I said: "Have a look!"
We hurried away, and his feet were like stepping on hot wheels. He was walking very fast, and I was not slow, following closely behind.
I said: "How could there be a murder in Chenjiazhuang?"
Li Kui said: "I guess Liu Ruyan must have done this!"
Liu Ruyan is an extremely powerful criminal gang, committing murder, stealing goods, stealing and robbing... They do all kinds of evil.
Liu Ruyan did not commit the crime alone, they were organized and premeditated criminals.
How abominable!
I asked: "What methods will they use to commit the crime this time?"
I hope to kill Li Kui's arrogance. He is always smart, especially when he sees his features, he shows off to me, as if he is afraid that the world will not know that I am not as good as him.
He seemed to know what I was thinking, looked at me with extremely contemptuous eyes, and said, "How have you been reading "Water Margin" lately?"
I asked: "What does this have to do with this matter?"
He snorted and sneered, and said: "It's very relevant. I'm not that Li Kui."
I looked at the ax in his hand and said, "You are not, but you are probably his reincarnation."
He said: "Let me tell you, I, Li Kui, am not a burly Kui. I am the Kui of Jia Kui, a famous minister of Cao Wei in the Three Kingdoms!"
He subconsciously waved the two axes twice!
I said: "This is really a trick of fate. Your parents originally wanted you to be the second Jia Kui, but you happened to be the second Li Kui."
He said firmly "No!"
He said: "I am the number one Li Kui, and everything in the book is fiction."
Faced with his strong words, I felt a little pressure. He has indeed grown a lot, and there is indeed something better than me.
Chenjiazhuang is a village on the outskirts of the county. It was originally inconspicuous, but a great kind man came out of it.
He is Chen Shiheng, the owner of Chenjiazhuang!
He has two young masters. The eldest master, Chenzhuang, went to high school for imperial examination and is now the prefect.
The second young master, Chen Yan, is not doing his job properly and always hangs out with a group of bad friends. Fights all over the country are always attributable to him or his friends.
His friend's share is actually his share, he is the big brother who takes the lead!
I said: "His death may be due to a vendetta!"
Li Kui smiled, with sarcasm in his smile.
"There is no opponent for him in these ten miles and eight towns!"
I said: "The murderer can do it secretly!"
He shook his head and looked at me with his chin in his hands. He stopped and I stopped too.
He said: "You look like an idiot!"
It turns out that Chen Yan is a big shot. He and his brothers roam the countryside and are notorious. Everyone is afraid of him.
But no one seems to hate him!
This is really incredible.
Li Kui said: "He is a ruthless man, so ruthless that no one can match him. It is hard to hate such a big gangster!"
I was very confused and asked: "He should be bold and generous, and he has helped some people."
Li Kui said: "No! People just respect him as a ruthless man and worship him like a god!"
I snorted softly and sighed: "They are simply crazy!"
Li Kui said: "The more you are bullied by him, the more you respect him."
I couldn't figure it out for a moment, how could there be so many strange things in the world.
"You know so much!"
He was very arrogant and said: "A lot of big things have happened recently, but you have been reading idle books, so you don't know many things."
"Did you already know about this murder?" Even though I am wise, I sometimes make mistakes.
Li Kui said: "My master, if I had known earlier, I would have been a god."
Unknowingly, we came to a fork in the road, should we take the main road or the small road? This situation was so familiar to me, like in a dream.
