Chapter 391 The Jiangnan Murder Case (4)
Seeing that He Tixing was just wiping his sweat with a veil but without saying a word, Jiang Yanzhi touched his chin, "Since you don't say it, let me speculate on the truth of the whole thing."
He looked at the people in the room, paced and walked around.
"It was September, neither the year nor the end of the year. However, the Song Transport Author suddenly performed his supervisory duties and wanted to investigate the salt affairs in Yangzhou? Mrs. Zhou, is this matter unrelated to your family, right?"
Yao was stunned and looked at Jiang Yanzhi in surprise. The capital said that Jiang Yanzhi's case was like a god, and that he was the master of Qingtian. After He Tiexin's first trial, he wanted to convict her son Zhou Xianguang. She used all her family relationships and delayed it hard until Jiang Yanzhi returned from the northern expedition, and then pushed the case to Dali Temple.
If her family hadn't been the apparent salt merchant, then her son Zhou Xianguang would have died unjustly.
"The three kings have a clever idea. Once when I went back to my parents' home, I saw my father and brothers frowning, saying that this year the lion above said that he would be slashing a layer of skin. I am a married daughter and I have no business involved in the family. After I got home, I complained to my husband a few times..."
"My husband is in good condition with the Song family. Song Zhuanyun is specializing in salt taxation and wants to help my parents go around. However, Song Zhuanyun is ignorant of what happened."
Min Weixiu suddenly realized that what the Chen Dynasty wanted to say was the most profitable thing, it was nothing more than iron salt wine and tea...
The salt administration is the most likely place to cause corruption. It was probably because the Zhou family complained a few times, but the Song Zhuanyun envoy became concerned and turned around and went to investigate the secretly.
After all, this is his duty. If something really happens, he will be the first to be removed from his hat.
But Song Zhuanyun never expected that she was a traitor in her heart on her pillow. He just started to investigate this one, and others knew about it.
Song Zhuanyun's face changed drastically, "It turned out to be because of this... Brother Zhou, and I, before this, were indeed investigating the Yangzhou salt affairs. Because the matter was extraordinary, we dare not be disrespectful and did not dare to disclose it at all before we obtained the evidence."
He said, laughing bitterly, "I wanted to check the salt business at that time, and only said that the superiors hinted that the Northern Expedition used a large amount of silver and money this year. The government wanted to transfer silver from Huainan East Road. In order not to make people notice, I not only checked the salt tax, but also checked the taxes. Not only Yangzhou, but also other states."
"But I never expected that I thought it was too simple. They had a ghost in their hearts, so they were naturally very sensitive!"
Jiang Yanzhi nodded, "If this king is not wrong, you have found some clues, right?"
Song Zhuanyun nodded, "That's true, but this matter is of great importance and involves too wide... To be honest, we were also hesitant, hesitating not to know when to submit the memorandum."
The Northern Expedition had just failed and the prince was not good. If the official earthquake in Yangzhou was at this time, the official family would be furious and might be like what they would be.
Whether it is a human being or an official, ordinary people think that they should protect themselves first. They can't be a clean official, but instead make their family ruined. This is not a precedent.
It is understandable that the Song and Zhou families are cautious and cautious.
Song Zhuanyun said, and his old face turned red, "In the end, Brother Zhou and I decided to jointly submit a secret copy to the official family, submit the evidence, and wait for someone to come to the capital... However, before I started writing the copy, something like that happened..."
Jiang Yanzhi sighed, "This is the murderer's purpose."
"In order to stop you two from verifying, the murderer set up such a bureau to make your two families turn against each other. Not to mention the joint statement, even the mood for verification will be gone. When you come back to your senses, they will block the huge holes and the wrong accounts will be cleaned up."
"In the Song Mansion, it's like a sieve. Are you still investigating the case? Even if you read the banned book today, everyone who should know it will know it."
Song Zhuanyun made his old face blushed and black, and he did have this hobby. Did the three kings squatted in his mind and peeked at it? Why did he know everything!
Jiang Yanzhi looked at him with contempt. It is just you, an old man who can find a lustful son-in-law for your daughter, which shows that she is a bird of a feather!
"I said before that the murderer used his left hand and his left hand was injured. I see your face changed. Why, did you think of who it is?"
Song Zhuanyun nodded, "Yes... it is my wife's accompanying the house Yu. I am busy with official duties, and the affairs of the Hou's house are fully handed over to the wife. This Hou's house is her right-hand man, and she often goes to the Hou's house on weekdays... His mother is my wife's housekeeper."
Min Weixiu suddenly realized that when Jiang Yanzhi asked this, even if she had a elm-head like her, she would understand what was going on.
Obviously, Yang Furong's father had a big problem. His wife's family relied on beautiful women to marry nobles. Whether it was Song Zhuanyun or He Tixing, they were all trapped in the beauty. Once they became in-laws, it would be difficult to get rid of them.
Song Zhuanyun was still quite upright and found out that he was investigating the case. The people immediately took decisive action to block his pace.
Mrs. Xiao Song was just a firework woman he was looking for, so she naturally became cannon fodder. She said that she was in charge of the inner house, but the real director was the dowry nanny.
The person who wrote the note, the maid who accidentally sprinkled his face on Zhou Xianguang's body, later served the bathing and changing clothes, and even took away the articles written by Zhou Xianguang in the study, were arranged early in the morning. In order to make what Zhou Xianguang said really become fake. If he had written such a long article, he would naturally not have time to do a slut with Mrs. Song.
But if you don't write it, then there will be time left.
While taking a shower and changing clothes, someone took his jade pendant. After the murderer Yu raped and killed Mrs. Xiao Song, he placed the jade pendant beside his bed.
Zhou Xianguang arrived as promised, and Mrs. He Tixing came over there with him and brought He Tixing to arrest people.
He Tixing said it cleanly, but if it weren't for the fact that Mrs. Zhou Yao had had contact with the capital, then Zhou Xianguang would have been sentenced to death. He was the only son of the Zhou and Song families. If he died, then the Zhou and Song families would not have been dead... By then, the officialdom pattern of the entire Huainan East Road would change.
The Zhou and Song families broke the head, who is still in the mood to pay attention to Yangzhou salt affairs?
They made great efforts and underestimated Yao's ability.
When he found out that the case was forcibly pushed to Tokyo, He Tixing was panicked and took out the autopsy picture there. There were many officials in Dali Temple, and they might not be able to find something wrong. After all, Mrs. Xiao Song has already been buried. Isn’t the autopsy result based on the report they sent from Yangzhou?
But I never expected that Jiang Yanzhi was a serious and nitpicking person!
