Chastity Layman 2

Chapter 9 Silla Maids Poison and Steal Gold

The east chamber of the county government office.

The county magistrate Xu Jingzong wore a scarlet robe with a silver talisman on his body. He was listening to the report from his followers when he heard that Qin Lang summoned his subordinates, such as Facao and Bad Shuai, and even offered 20 taels of gold as a reward for the people below to drink tea. , and couldn't help but be amazed.

"This Qin Sanlang is really eclectic."

The entourage said, "Ah Lang, I think it's a dude. He thought that if he threw some gold, then an old official like Wei Chang would bow his head and obey his ears? Or is it too young, and Wei Chang is not even a county magistrate like Alang?" Not very honorable."

"Young people act in an eclectic manner. Just by the boldness of throwing a lot of money, you can see that Qin Sanlang has the style of a general like his father. Not to mention, this kid might really be able to make a splash." Xu Jingzong laughed. .

Chang'an City is full of deep waters, even if it is a small county government, there are intricate forces from all sides.

Everyone is Qin Wang's party, and Gao Shilian specially asked to take good care of him, so Xu Jingzong will still take good care of this kid.

"Shouzhong, is there any important case in hand in the county?"

"Yesterday, servants in Guo Yi'an's mansion, a member of the ceremonial department of Huaiyuan Fang, poisoned the master and stole more than a dozen gold and silver wares. Their whereabouts are still unknown."

Xu Jingzong nodded, this is considered to be a major case in recent days, but a servant girl dared to poison the master, steal gold and silverware and escape into hiding. The Yongzhou government has issued an order to solve the case and arrest the culprit within a time limit.

"This matter was handed over to Li Facao and Wei Chang before, and there is no clue yet."

Xu Jingzong smiled, "Then hand over this case to Qin Sanlang, let him be in charge of supervising the handling, and say that the Yongzhou government is pressing hard, and give him three days to solve the case."

"Ah Lang, Li Facao and Wei Chang have no clue, so Qin Sanlang is probably also helpless?"

But Xu Jingzong held his teacup and said, "Qin Sanlang is very motivated, we must give him a chance, if you don't try, how will you know if it will work or not!"

······
Facao Li Kai and bad handsome Wei Chang acted very quickly, and they immediately converted the gold collars Qin Lang gave them into silk, and then distributed all of them to the subordinate officials below.

As soon as the new official took office, he ended up giving generous rewards of money. All the subordinate servants had a great affection for Qin Lang, the new boss, and they all came to thank him after receiving the money.

Qin Lang sat on the porch, watching groups of people coming over, reporting their names, crossing their hands in thanks, feeling good.

He also found that Chang'an County deserves to be the Jing County that manages half of Chang'an City. There are more than 100 sex slaves.

Fa Cao is only one of the six Caos.

And among the nearly [-] people, that doesn't even count the non-staff helpers, informants, etc. of the bad guys.

The main duties of the Fa Cao are criminal justice, arresting robbers, and law and order. Therefore, the number of Yamen servants under the Fa Cao is relatively large. Not only are there more than 100 delinquents on a regular basis, but there is also a white straight squad that is responsible for patrolling and guarding the prison. There is also a Baizhi squad that is in charge of interrogation stations and executions.

There is also a women's class here, they are in charge of the women's prison in Chang'an County Prison.

Facao Li Demo led the six people over with a smile.

Two teenagers about thirteen or fourteen years old, and four young people in their early twenties.

"Young Mansion, here are the two Zhiyis and four Baizhis that Ba gave you."

In the Tang system, the sons of good families who are not of humble origin are middle-aged males aged 21 to [-]. They need to go to the local government to serve four months of hard labor for officials and take care of the internal affairs for officials. Therefore, it is called Zhiyi. To put it bluntly, it is equivalent to an orderly. .

Thinking back, Qin Qiong's good brother Luo Shixin started out as a clothes-handler for Zhang Xutuo, while Qin Qiong started as a tent for Lai Nuer.

And Bai Zhi, an adult son of a good family, worked in the yamen in rotation. However, their labor was not included in the official Yao service stipulated by the imperial court, so they were also called sex slaves or miscellaneous Yao.

Just from the eighth-rank official, there are six free labors in the end. The treatment of this official is really good.

"Young Mansion, there is a difficult case. Xu Mingfu ordered me to hand it over to the Young Mansion for supervision, and to solve the case within three days."

"What case?"

There was an important case just after taking office, Qin Lang was still a little excited.

"I'm sorry to ask Wei Shuai to report to the Shaofu in detail." Although Li Kai has been a law officer for two years, as a general's son, he actually doesn't have much control over specific affairs. general situation.Lack of experience, so it is easy to be excluded.

"Report to the Young Master's Mansion, Guo Yi'an, a member of the Ministry of Rites, reported the case, claiming that the servant girl in the mansion poisoned the master, and also stole gold and silverware and fled."

"Then grab it."

"But we searched for a long time, and found that this maid seems to have disappeared suddenly." Wei Chang said.

Qin Lang smiled, "Didn't they all say that bad people are scattered throughout Chang'an City, and that hidden eyeliner is everywhere in every corner of One Hundred and Eight Square?"

"The rumors in the market are exaggerated. We and other bad people are just servants. How can we have such supernatural abilities. Young mansion, this case is not only urgently urged by Xuming mansion, but also urgently urged by Yongzhou mansion. The government instructed how to investigate." Wei Chang looked at Qin Lang and said.

He is obviously the most professional bad guy with rich experience, but now he asks Qin Lang like this, it is clear that he wants to take the opportunity to make things difficult for Qin Lang.

It seems that the twelve taels of gold really had little effect.

Qin Lang remained silent. In fact, before entering the Chang'an county government office, he was already thinking about one thing.

That is, he has completely sided with Li Shimin, and even offended his father Qin Qiong, and the change of Xuanwumen only took three days.

History tells Qin Lang that the winner in the end is Li Shimin who is currently at a disadvantage. Even if he does nothing for three days, he will still be the winner in the end, and he will ascend to heaven with one person.

But just this is not enough, the old horse has already told him that as Qin Qiong's concubine, no matter how high the official rank and wealth of Qin Qiong are, it has nothing to do with him.The eldest son can inherit the title of honorary officer, and even the future must be boundless, and the other sons will also have a good future.

But the son of a concubine has no future, even if he is the son of the Duke, if he has no real skills in this life, relying on his father's shadow, at most he can be a school captain of the sixth or seventh rank, or join the army, a county captain, etc. It's over.

Now that he seized the opportunity, he became a county lieutenant directly, which can be said to be a very high starting point, and may even be the apex of many bastards' lives, but Qin Lang was not satisfied.

How to use these three days, how to use the current official position of Chang'an county lieutenant, and do something, to seize this most precious three days, to help Li Shimin when he is the weakest, is very important of.

As long as you stand on this outlet, even a pig can fly into the sky, and even a bastard has a chance to soar into the sky.

The lawyers he assigned were only two to three hundred servants, and the bad guys were a group of extremely powerful people. If they were used well, they would be an important help.

However, he was young, and he came to serve as a county captain at the age of 16. Wei Chang, a treacherous old official, might not be willing to obey him, and might not be willing to be controlled by him.

Just like now, Wei Chang directly asked himself a difficult problem.

If you don't show some ability, it is estimated that the ten taels of gold will be for nothing, and will only be despised or even ostracized by this old official in the future.

"Bring all the files of this case immediately, I want to review the files!"

Qin Lang did not refuse.

"Young mansion, half of the time has passed, I'm afraid it's too late to read the file now, and the file doesn't record much useful information." Wei Chang laughed.

"That's not necessarily true. Every piece of information is useful, and the more information collected, the more useful things can be extracted. In many cases, a little clue has actually revealed the truth of the case to us. Copywriting!"

"Big cases?" Wei Chang was surprised. As a bad guy, he has rich experience and has handled countless big and important cases. He relied on decades of experience and intuition, and a lot of bad guys under his command. Not by sitting in the house and flipping through some files and letters.

"Wei Shuai, why don't we wait and see?"

"Okay, I'll ask someone to send all the relevant records and evidence and testimony of this case." Wei Chang laughed, looking like he wanted to see a good show.

After a while, several items were placed on Qin Lang's office table.

Because of the short time, the records are actually very limited, mainly the notes made by bad people in the Guo Mansion.

Qin Lang flipped through everything, and finished it in a while, and had a general understanding of the case.

Guo Yi'an is Wailang, a member of the Ministry of Rites, a sixth-rank official, but his family is a family of officials and eunuchs. They have a big house in Chang'an, and there are many servants in the house.Among them was a young and beautiful maidservant named Oksu from Silla.Because this Silla maid was too beautiful and gentle, she was favored by Guo Yuanwai, not only accepted by him, but even arranged for her to manage his gold and silver warehouse.Even when he was hungry at night to eat supper, Guo Yuanwai never let other people cook it, and only ate supper cooked with jade.

The night before yesterday, Guo Yuanwai asked Yusu to cook porridge for him as usual, but Yusu took the opportunity to poison the porridge. , which allowed him to escape from death.

But in the rush, Yusu disappeared, and even the gold collar and silver cakes in Guo Yuanwai's small treasury disappeared.

Guo Yuanwai reported the case, and the Yongzhou government ordered Chang'an and Wannian counties to try their best to arrest Yusu.

"Young mansion, both Chang'an and Wannian counties have been ordered in this case, whoever gets the person first will have to overwhelm the other."

The two counties of Chang'an and Wannian are both in Chang'an City. One is in charge of the east of the city and the other is in charge of the west of the city. Therefore, the two counties handle this case together. Naturally, whoever gets it first will have a good face. This is also a secret contest between the two counties. .

"I don't know if the Shaofu found something?" Wei Chang asked, but he never believed in his heart that a 16-year-old dude could find any clues after just a few glances at the file.
