original. Zhang Qing not only checked whether Old Man Chen's son was actually injured or not. And helped him deal with the wound. He prescribed a prescription again. That's why it took such a long time to come here. Liu Xin is very satisfied with Zhang Qing's performance. Encouraged a lot. Let him back down. At this moment. Only Liu Xin, Jushou, Xu Huang, and Dianwei were left in the hall. Since they are all their own. If you have any ideas, you don't need to hide it anymore.
Jushou said, "The lord. The subordinates are asking to send someone to investigate things thoroughly. You can start with the murderer who wounded the old man Chen's son and Kuaixiu's fugitive wife. We must find out the conspiracy to provoke the lord's relationship with the Kuai family. Black hand."
The conspiracy of these people is to provoke Liu Xin's relationship with the Kuai family. This is what Liu Xin told Jushou to guess about the whole thing. But Liu Xin had a deeper thought that he didn't tell them. That is the real purpose of these people to provoke Liu Xin's relationship with Kuaijia is to weaken the support Liu Xin may receive. Especially in support of Liu Xin's proclaiming the emperor.
In fact, all of this is to blame for them. In order for Liu Xin to proclaim his emperor smoothly. They started the preparatory work very early. Too many people and things are involved. Naturally, it is impossible for the news to be leak-proof. Cao Cao and Yuan Shao are not talking about these two camps. Even where Liu Xin rules. Since there are people who support Liu Xin as emperor. Some people will oppose Liu Xin's proclaiming emperor. Now these people who opposed Liu Xin's claim to emperor have got the news. We must find a way to prevent this from happening. The worst will add to Liu Xin's obstruction.
Liu Xin had already discussed with Ma Yun. He will not appear in a ceremony carefully prepared by Jushou, Xu Huang and others. On another special occasion, he will declare himself the throne of emperor. No matter how carefully those people prepare. Liu Xin will not leave them a chance to perform.
but. After all, Jushou served as a county magistrate. He has been in charge of the Phantom Spy for many years. He keenly grasped two important clues to this case. If you can break through these two clues. It is indeed possible to uncover the black hand behind the scenes. But Liu Xin does not intend to delve into this issue further. He waved his hand. Said: "This happened in Xinye. Then let Kuai Xiu perform his duties well."
Say this sentence. Everyone was relieved. Because this sentence has already expressed Liu Xin's attitude. He will pardon the crime committed by Kuai Xiu.
Seeing everyone's relieved expressions. Liu Xin was alert. Kuaixiu represents more than just the Kuaijia. It's not just the gentry in Jingzhou. He also represents the entire meritorious class. People are selfish. These civil and military men who supported Liu Xin's victory. Perhaps it was just out of respect for Liu Xin at the beginning. But over time. They always think of shining ancestors. To live a luxurious life. At last. They also think about planning a good future for their children.
have to say. The people who planned this matter are indeed very clever. The stories of birds hiding in their bows and rabbits dying in dogs are not just legends. It has happened many times in previous history. If Liu Xin this time because of Kuai Xiu's robbing people's girls. And punished Kuaixiu. It is very likely that it has chilled the hearts of other civil and military heroes. By the time. It is tantamount to cutting off Liu Xin's right-hand man.
Fortunately, Liu Xin discovered their conspiracy in time. Fortunately, Kuaixiu didn't use Chen Yuniang strongly. Otherwise, this matter is really difficult to do well.
Just when Liu Xin thought that this arrangement was perfect. But Jushou said, "Qi confess to the lord. The subordinates think it's wrong."
Liu Xin said in surprise: "Gongyou. What's wrong."
Jushou said: "Go back to the lord. The subordinates are not not convinced of Kuai Xiu's ability. It is not that he is unwilling to give him this opportunity to exercise. But he feels that he will handle the case. No matter what the outcome is, I am afraid that it will be difficult to make it. Several people are satisfied."
Liu Xin couldn't help but look at Jushou more. Isn't this old gentleman talking about the avoidance system for later generations? Kuai Xiu is both a party in this case. It is also a stakeholder. Naturally it is to be avoided. but. Liu Xin had no intention of letting Kuai Xiu investigate this case at all. Because Liu Xin understands. With Kuaixiu's ability, he would definitely not be able to find the result. But Liu Xin must show a gesture. Forgive Kuaixiu's crimes of robbing people's daughters.
in fact. In this case. Kuaixiu was not at fault subjectively. He is also likely to be a victim himself. The most important thing is that he didn't hurt Chen Yuniang. Liu Xin decided to pardon Kuaixiu after seeing this. Not because he is the son of Kuai Liang. Of course. Liu Xin didn't mind being misunderstood by Jushou and others. Because he is a man of affection. I will never do anything horrible.
Facing the doubts of Jushou. Liu Xin smiled and said, "Gongyou. If the Chen family does not object to Kuaixiu's thorough investigation of the case. So what will happen."
Jushou said in surprise: "Master. I'm afraid it's impossible."
"Things are artificial. Don't try. How can you know that it's impossible." Liu Xin waved his hand gently. Said. "Bring Kuaixiu and Old Man Chen's family."
Came to the lobby of Xinye County again. Chen Yuniang has changed into a girl's costume. Beautiful appearance and slim figure. It's a little beauty. It's just a small blush that looks like a ripe apple. She was originally an unmarried girl. It was just mistaken for the magistrate's wife. Only then was forced to change into the woman's clothes. Today, Zhang Jie's body was checked again. Ashamed. It's strange not to blush.
Kuaixiu and Old Man Chen are not much better. The faces of the two people are equally ugly.
After learning that Chen Yuniang is still a complete body. Kuaixiu's heart sank. This is enough to prove. Chen Yuniang and his wife Fei are not the same person at all. The matter of him robbing the civic girl is really nailed.
Old Man Chen was even more dumbfounded. The so-called sitting behind closed doors. Misfortune comes from heaven. In this incident, the Chen family was the biggest victim. Who can think of it. It's just that Chen Yuniang and the county magistrate's wife look a little bit alike. Caused such a big disaster. The son was injured and bedridden. The granddaughter was also retired from the marriage. What's more annoying is. The granddaughter is clearly intact and far away. This reputation has been broken.
Liu Xin said unhurriedly: "Everyone. Now things are clear. Six days ago. Kuaixiu's wife Fei, the magistrate of Xinye County, suddenly ran away from home. Kuaixiu took a few of her servants to the street to find her. Accidentally bumped into it. I got on to Chen Yuniang who came out to buy things. Coincidentally, Chen Yuniang actually looked exactly like Fei. So Kuaixiu treated Chen Yuniang as Fei who had run away from home. She forcibly took her back to the county government office. She was under house arrest in the back office. I learned that my daughter was snatched away by the Yamen. Chen Yuniang’s father, that is, Old Han’s eldest son, took Chen Yuniang’s younger brother to the county office to ask for an explanation. As a result, he was beaten by a group of unidentified people posing as Yamen at the entrance of the alley. Injury. Chen Yuniang was trapped in the county office for six days. However, Kuaixiu did not tarnish her body. This is what we can understand about the case so far. Do you have any objections."
The facts of the case are indeed incredible. But it is true. Everyone shook their heads. There is no objection. Liu Xin nodded and said, "Quaixiu. You robbed the girl. The facts are clear. The evidence is solid. You should be cut according to the law. Liu thought that you were unintentional. Maybe you were framed by an adulterer. You are allowed to commit crimes and meritorious service."
Kuaixiu heard the first few sentences. I thought I was bound to die. Suddenly I heard Xu him committing a crime. Feeling relaxed. The whole person seemed to collapse. Slumped to the ground. It took a long time to struggle. Knocking his head: "The lower official is pleased to obey the lord's instructions."
Although there are many people in the lobby. But no one laughed at Kuaixiu. Perhaps they have experienced many battles. Countless killings. But if you encounter this kind of escape from the dead. No one can guarantee that his performance will be better than Kuaixiu. At least Kuaixiu didn't cry aloud. Nor did he pee his pants on the spot.
Liu Xin nodded. Said: "You need to do two things now. One is to find out who is the murderer who injured Chen Yunniang's father. The other is to find out where your wife Fei has escaped. Liu did not set a deadline for you. When did you find out. When did you report to Liu? You might do it."
Kuaixiu said loudly: "The official will be the mission."
The investigation without any deadline seems simple. If you can’t find it in one day, you can check it for two days. If you can’t find it in two days, you can check it for three days. But Liu Xin still has a sentence before him. It is for Kuai Xiu to make meritorious deeds. In other words. As long as Kuaixiu can't find out the case in one day. He is the guilty body. If Kuaixiu wants to improve. Also want to Guangzong Yaozu. He must go all out to investigate the case. This is a spur to Kuaixiu. It is also a good opportunity for experience.
"En. You step back aside." Liu Xin waved. Turned to Old Man Chen again. Said. "Old man Chen. You blocked the road today. There are mainly two things. One is that your son was injured. The other is that your granddaughter was snatched away. It has now been found out. Your son's injury has nothing to do with the county magistrate Kuaixiu. Now Liu has asked someone to treat the wounds for your son. All the expenses are borne by the government. In addition, Liu will give you fifty taels of silver. For missed work and recuperating injuries. You have no opinion, right."
Although the Chen Laohan family has a large population. But the expenses for a year will not exceed three taels of silver. Liu Xin rewarded him with fifty taels of silver all at once. Even if Old Man Chen has his son bedridden ever since. I can't use this lot of silver. The family is very grateful.
A lacquer tray has long been held by a guard. There are ten fine silver ingots in it. Five and two each. This is Liu Xin's carefulness. Chen Laohan's family are just ordinary people. If you give them fifty taels of big ingots. Even if they are willing to use it. A pile of broken silver retrieved by others. Fineness will definitely be greatly affected. How could it be convenient to give them five or two ingots
Liu Xin watched Old Man Chen accept the silver. Then he said: "As for your granddaughter. He has returned now. And she is unscathed. It is also delicious and lively in the county government. There are still people waiting on this matter. You have no objection to the Kuai County magistrate. Right."
Old Man Chen raised his head and glanced at Liu Xin. Hurry down again. He sighed softly.
