In the past three years, there have been three changes to the governor's envoy, which obviously had a considerable impact on the Beizhen Fusi - although the power in his hands has not shrunk much, the situation is not as good as before.
Recently, there are even rumors that the emperor wants to set up another special agency to replace and check the balance of the North and South Zhenfu Divisions who always have problems.
Therefore, this way, although the morale of the Fusi Li in Beizhen is not low, it is already full of twilight.
If in the past, this Beizhen Fusi Yamen was a 'depressed', now I am afraid that it can only be described as 'depressed'.
"Master Sun."
Just as he was secretly sighing at Shi Yi Shi Yi, Xiao Qi who was leading the way in front of his head suddenly stopped, turned around and said cautiously, "Excuse me to wait here for a while, Rong Beiqi will go in and report..."
"No need."
Before he could finish his words, a short and stout man was greeted in the front courtyard. He hurried a few steps to the front, and bowed to Sun Shaozong to the end: "I have seen adults before!"
"Zhao Qianhu doesn't need to be too polite."
Sun Shaozong returned a salute and smiled: "Sun is not allowed to go to the Three Treasures Hall today. If there is anything rash, I'm afraid I will ask Zhao Qianhu to bear with me."
"Where, if it wasn't for the Lord's righteous action, I, Zhao Chiayi, wouldn't have been able to eat prison meals in Zhao Prison - if you have anything to say, just say it!"
Zhao Chiayi, who patted his chest, was the commander of the former enemy when Qingxu watched the bandits.
At that time, because of his hundred households, Zang Liang, who cooperated with the enemy, not only did he escape many of the White Lotus sect bandits, but Zhao Chiayi himself was also involved and served as a prisoner for more than ten days.
Later, it was not until Sun Shaozong found out the real spy that Zhao Jiayi was released, and he was ordered to take over the follow-up investigation work.
And Sun Shaozong came here because he wanted to use his past sentiments to access those surveillance records.
The book does not go into details.
Zhao Jiayi welcomed Sun Shaozong into the hall. After the two of them were seated separately, they asked about Sun Shaozong's intention for coming. His eyes flashed, and he couldn't help but blurt out and asked: "So, your lord has already discovered the fish that slipped through the net. ?!"
"I can't tell right now."
Sun Shaozong shook his head and said sternly: "Zhao Qianhu, I have just arrived at Dali Temple as an official, and I have not yet established a firm foothold. I am afraid that the case I am handling is not easy to fake."
"If Zhao Qianhu can make it convenient, Sun will naturally be grateful; but if it is because of the rules, Sun will never complain."
When he told his intentions before, he only said that he wanted to check the records at that time, and he never brought up the specific case, because he was afraid that the Beizhen Fusi would be in the crosshairs.
This case is obviously a provocation to him. If the investigation is finally completed, the Beizhen Fusi will pick the fruit, how will Sun Shaozong convince the public in Dali Temple in the future
However, Zhao Jiayi immediately waved his hand when he heard this: "Your Excellency is joking, that rule is for outsiders, but this case is the clue that you found out, how can it be considered an outsider?"
After a pause, he patted his chest and said: "Besides, I, Zhao Jiayi, aren't the kind of person who plays favors and benevolence. Come on, let's quickly transfer all the records of the case of the white lotus sect bandit two years ago. For Lord Sun to check!"
Sun Shaozong couldn't see for a while how much of his impassioned enthusiasm was true or false.
But even if it is fake, it doesn't matter, as long as the case is investigated first, Sun Shaozong doesn't care who will fall on Su Xingfang afterwards.
Therefore, when Zhao Chiayi finished speaking, he showed a smile and cupped his hands again: "Mr. Sun thanked Zhao Qianhu first - if it turns out that the White Lotus Sect is at fault, I will definitely ask the imperial court to hand over the case to him. Beizhen Fusi will investigate."
Zhao Chiayi was overjoyed when he heard the words, nodded and said, "If that's the case, naturally it's the best!"
After that, the two chatted for about a quarter of an hour, and then they saw two small schools come in with four book boxes, take them out one by one, and pile them on the coffee tables on both sides.
This roughly scans the amount, at least there are more than 100 copies.
Fortunately, Sun Shaozong already has a clear goal. Otherwise, if he wants to find clues from the inside, I am afraid it will take at least ten days and a half to achieve.
"Master Sun, please do it yourself."
After the books were piled up, Zhao Jiayi immediately got up and took his men out of the living room, leaving Sun Shaozong to read it alone.
After confirming that they had all left, Sun Shaozong immediately moved two chairs as a place to move the books, and then rummaged through them one by one.
Excluding the records of the initial investigation, the more than 100 pamphlets that followed were basically surveillance records of suspects.
And this first record is not someone else, it is his own cheap elder brother Sun Shaozu.
It seems that Lu Hui said he would not doubt the Sun family back then, but secretly he showed no mercy.
Sun Shaozong opened it and found that the half-records in it were all the affairs of the eldest brother, and occasionally mixed with the trivial life of Jia Yingchun and many concubines.
After a few glances, Sun Shaozong couldn't help but feel scared.
Fortunately, he went south to quell the rebellion, otherwise there is a real chance that these idiots will take advantage of his shortcomings!
After reading it carefully, he found that there was nothing prohibited. Sun Shaozong breathed a sigh of relief. He placed the booklet in the most conspicuous position and continued to search.
After a quarter of an hour, he finally found the surveillance records of the Su family from the pile of old papers.
Opening the frontispiece, the first thing that catches the eye is the composition of the Su family, as well as the origin and life of Su Xingfang's parents for the next three generations.
Naturally, there would be no problem with these, otherwise Su Xingfang should have been taken down long ago - after all, the Beizhen Fusi is handling the case, and the trumped-up charges are enough.
Turning back, it is the surveillance record marked with the date.
Su Xingfang's every move is naturally the top priority, but Su's mother can be regarded as a power grabber.
This old lady has a quirky personality, is tolerant and strict with others, and she is stubborn about her daughter-in-law, but she is pampered by her grandson.
Usually, it is commonplace to win people to let out their anger.
So much so that the records related to her occupy the largest space.
As for Xiaoqi, who was in charge of monitoring and recording, it only took a few days for him to be sure that Su Xingfang's mother was indeed his biological mother—not his biological mother, and he definitely couldn't stand her strange temper!
Then the surveillance gradually loosened, and on the eve of Su Xingfang's wife giving birth, the surveillance was completely withdrawn.
This is probably because the monitors at the time felt that such a filial son would definitely not put his mother in the enemy camp.
However, if Sun Shaozong's inference is correct, these two sisters, Su's mother and brother, are the real hard-core religious bandits - on the contrary, it is Su Xingfang, the son, who may not care much about the White Lotus Sect.
When I read the second half of the page, Su Xingfang's uncle Cao Chiuji also became a frequent visitor to this record. He also moved into Su's house temporarily because his wife died and he had no one to take care of.
Compared with his eccentric sister, this uncle is very kind, but he has a 'quirk': he can't see other people's waste of water resources.
The water used for washing on weekdays can only be used in a shallow basin. If he uses too much water, even his own sister will nag a few words.
Tea is not allowed to be left over; the water used to wash rice must be reused; it is said that he has set a quota for how much water the dog raised at home drinks every day.
And no matter where he goes, he always carries a big water bag by his side.
Such quirks naturally caused the Su family to complain quite a bit at first.
But with the strong support of Su's mother, even Su Xingfang could only submit, and others were naturally powerless to oppose it. Fortunately, over time, it gradually became natural.
Seeing this, Sun Shaozong hurriedly turned back to the origin and place of origin on the first page.
Like the Su family, this Cao family also came from a land of fish and rice. It stands to reason that they grew up by the water, so they shouldn't be so sensitive to the issue of water use.
in addition…
The name Cao Chiuji always feels as if there is something strange about it.
Sun Shaozong closed his eyes and pondered for a while, then suddenly closed the pages and mixed up several irrelevant surveillance records in disorder.
Then he stepped out of the living room and cupped his hands: "Zhao Qianhu, please call up the record of the 31st year of Jianping, Shaanxi and Gansu's suppression of rebellion."
Thanks to book friend 'amireux' for the tip.
