Chapter 146
Xu Ping looked at him coldly, but did not stop him.
He took the criminal and the inspector said goodbye to Xu Ping.
Xu Ping said: "I went back to report to Mr. Cheng. This case involves the three departments. If there is any progress in the case, please transfer the certificate in time."
The inspector agreed and took his subordinates to surround the criminals.
Xu Ping watched the people from Kaifeng Prefecture leave and asked Liu Han beside him: "Chongzhi, according to you, was the Jinshi in Jinzhou cheated by Cui Youde, or was he confused and paid for fake transfers?"
"Who can tell this clearly? In theory, it is also a Jinshi in the village. He will not be able to accept fake gifts. No one in his hometown should dare to deceive such a thing."
Xu Ping was silent for a while, then suddenly turned around and ordered the soldiers beside him: "Go and call Zheng Jian from Gouyuan!"
The soldier agreed and just turned around, Xu Ping said again: "By the way, go to the editorial office to call Gao Chengduan together!"
Liu Heng was very thoughtful and understood what Xu Ping meant at once. He asked, "Deputy Envoy, do you still think that Cui Youde's cheating is more likely? Do you want Zheng Gouyuan to investigate?"
"It's hard to say which possibility is greater, but Kaifeng Prefecture probably won't carefully check the accounts of goods when handling cases, and they can't do such things. We check them ourselves and have a clear idea."
At this time, there were widely set up gouyuan in various yamen in the central and local governments. In history, in the Southern Song Dynasty, it was renamed the Audit Department because it wanted to avoid the name of Emperor Gaozong of Song Dynasty, Zhao Gou, which was also the source of the word audit. What they did was similar to the auditing agency in Xu Ping's previous life. Their expertise was their expertise.
The reason why the three departments are in power is that this yamen not only manages the national finance, but also manages auditing and other systems, integrating administrative and supervision systems.
Xu Ping thought about it and still felt that the possibility of fraud by the public officials who defrauded goods was higher. It was impossible for the merchants to deliberately accept fake transactions because they could not pass the time for defrauded goods. In the process of receiving and transfer, most of them also had local transfer shops as insurance. The possibility of receiving fake transactions was very slim.
No matter how you think about this, you naturally have to send someone to check it carefully. The reason is that he was called Gao Chengduan because he was born in a family of public officials and was proficient in fraudulent methods, so he could find things that others could not see.
There are more than a thousand houses in the entire Sansi Yamen. Although they are extremely large, they still last together. Without much time, Zheng Jian rushed over. In the past two days, the public officials who were making trouble were investigated by the Salt and Iron Department. Zheng Jian was a little anxious because he did not ask the Gou Yuan to participate in such a big case.
After passing the courtesy to Xu Ping, Zheng Jian said, "What order should I give to the deputy envoy asks me to come down?"
"Just now, people from Kaifeng Prefecture came and said that Cui Youde, the head of the goods affairs department, secretly exchanged the merchant's contact and forced him to death. I think this is a bit strange. Take someone to check the goods affairs carefully and see if the contact is true or false."
Zheng Jian was a little disappointed when he heard that he was not asking him to participate in the investigation of the case of troubled officials. However, he was involved in a major life case, and the matter was still worth doing.
He asked Xu Ping and Zheng Jian again: "The case is handled by Kaifeng Prefecture. They will not check the accounts of the goods, right? If there is no fake transfer, how can I check it?"
Xu Ping said: "Where can anyone in Kaifeng Prefecture tell the authenticity of the connection? I guess Mr. Cheng should use another method. Gao Chengduan comes later, and you can take him with you."
Zheng Jian was stunned: "Gao Chengduan is just a public official in an editorial office. What should he do?"
"He has been a public official for many generations in his family. We find many things incredible. He has seen them many times. Tianxu, sometimes it is also a skill."
Zheng Jian nodded and said nothing. As an official, it is not uncommon to rely on the power of public officials, but Zheng Jian still feels a little comfortable with the help of public officials who are not under his control.
Not much time passed, Gao Chengduan came over, and Xu Ping ordered him to follow Zheng Jian to go to the goods service and carefully check the transfer there. Especially those Jinshi Jinshi who were judged to be fake, they should be carefully checked.
When the two left, Xu Ping said to Liu Ying again: "Send a few people to Cui Youde's house and check the situation at his house. I always feel that many things will fall on Cui Youde."
Liu Ying said: "How should the deputy envoy investigate?"
"Didn't you bring a lot of public officials who pretended to be troublemakers the day before yesterday? You also got a lot of news. This time you're still the same. Find a few trustworthy ones and find out the Cui family's details. Maybe it will have some miraculous effects."
Liu Ying responded to the promise and went to find his subordinate Xiangjun to send people.
Liu Han has always regarded himself as chivalrous and liked to spy on information. This is his fault in history that he has been criticized. Because officials have always been disgusted with spies, but they have to admit that this method is sometimes very useful.
The Caihe area is a place where the lower class people in Kaifeng City live together, and the housing prices are also cheap. When Shi Yannian was still working as a low-level little military officer in the capital, he also lived here.
There is a tea shop under the big willow tree on the bank of the river. Two middle-aged men sat there, ordered tea and a plate of fruit, and chatted while eating, occasionally looking at the opposite side.
Opposite is a two-story courtyard that looks very quiet.
A woman in her twenties held a little girl of four or five in her hand and talked to a young man opposite her.
The young man smiled and said, "Sister-in-law, this time Brother Cui was a life lawsuit. He couldn't come out alive if he was not careful. Sister-in-law is young, how can she bear the rest of her life!"
The woman's face was covered in frost and said coldly: "What are you talking about? My official family is abiding by the law, so how can you make trouble? You usually follow him with your brother and you are so handsome, so why do you still say such nonsense to me!"
The young man laughed out loud: "Don't my sister-in-law blush when she said this? Who among the public dares to say that she is obeying the law? It's just that what she does is not taken away! Relying on the salary of the public, my sister-in-law's daily food, the yard she lives in behind, and the things you wear."
The woman opened the young man's hand and said, "You are more solemn!"
"My sister-in-law can afford it with Brother Cui's salary? I am also a public servant, so why bother talking nonsense? This time, Brother Cui's case was a big deal. More than a hundred failed Jinshi blocked the gate of the Guyuan. If you don't give your life to the yamen, how can you pay for the Kaifeng Mansion? In the future, my sister-in-law will be gone."
The woman saw the young man getting closer and closer when she saw him talking, and shouted, "Why are you talking to me about these things?"
The young man smiled and said with a smile: "What happened to my brother, and the good-looking man asked me to take care of my sister-in-law. No matter what happened in the future, there was no food at home, I had to change my clothes on my body, I had no money to use it, I felt deserted at night, and I had few people around me, so I could come to me. Don't worry, I will definitely not be so cold to my sister-in-law's heart!"
Two guests sat under the tea shop and met the young man opposite him touched the woman. Although the woman did not say anything, she did not turn around. The two were just entangled in front of the door.
A guest asked Dr. Cha: "Are the two men and women opposite each other husband and wife? Why do you pull and pull on the street? Just go back to your home if you want to be intimate? What kind of decent thing is it to be in public?"
Dr. Tea smiled with a kettle and said, "Where is a couple? The guest doesn't know that the man in the family is a public servant in the goods service. He has delicious food and good food. He has moved home from the official business. He lives a lot of life! Today I heard that someone had committed a crime, had a life lawsuit, and was arrested in Kaifeng Mansion. The rogue boy was a colleague of his man. I guess he had a chance to tease the wife of the family."
The two guests laughed together: "I often say that these honest and shameless men are not guilty. I only realized that what I said is true when I met today. But seeing that little lady is a bit too beautiful, the young man is very lucky!"
"Hey, these people are living a good life! You two don't know. I watched from the opposite side every day, and I saw that the family's food, clothing and use were not worse than those in the city's official. The young man didn't know which yamen he worked in. If something happened to the man opposite, the woman could escape his hand? Those who are used to enjoying it can stand the hardships!"
The two guests looked at each other, and one said, "Dr. Tea said, how could a woman be so hot that she could withstand this young man's teasing! By the way, what's the name of this young man? Such a good luck!"
Dr. Cha said: "I always call him Song Xiaoyi, and I have a close relationship with that man. I don't expect that when something happened to that man, the young man came over like a fly smelling blood."
The two guests laughed together: "A man is like a cat stealing a fishy fish. How can he let go of a chance?"
Seeing the pair of men and women opposite each other still entangled there, the people in the tea shop laughed.
In the afternoon, Liu Weng and the other two were still sweating profusely in the Yantioxue Yamen, but they didn't find anything new. They saw that the day was about to pass again, and their hearts were as if fried and they were very upset.
Xu Ping ordered two old officials and took a few soldiers to interrogate Pang Dahai and Qin San in the small dark room. Of course, the focus was on Feng Lixing. After a day, he did not ask for anything valuable, and gradually became a little discouraged.
Look at the sun that was so depressed in the west, lying on the mountaintop in the distance, Xu Ping sat in the yard, watching the messy crowd in the yard thinking about his thoughts. If the commander behind the scenes cannot be found this time, the three officials in the future will probably be connected, and it will be difficult to do things according to their own thoughts. Those newly opened venues that have to be opened in a few days can only recruit new people, and they cannot rely on the recommendation of the public officials of the three officials, and they don’t know where to find the right person. Should we transfer from the Lingnan sugar service?
At this moment, Zheng Jian and Gao Chengduan ran in from outside in a hurry. When they arrived at Xu Ping, they even forgot to salute him. They said to Xu Ping: "Deputy envoy, my subordinates have found out that the case is a trick of Cui Youde, the official official of the goods affairs department,!"
"Really? Is there any real evidence?" Xu Ping stood up all of a sudden. To be continued.
