Qingchuan History

Chapter 622

Shangguan Yan was injured all over his body, with broken ankles and elbows, and his brocade robe was torn to pieces. After a night of diagnosis and treatment, he was carried to the Yamen of Luzhou Mansion.

The Dengtanggu rang for the third time this month, and the beater with a big belly was none other than Mrs. Ru, the eldest son of Shangguan.

Broken brocade robes were placed in boxes with the lids open; dead horses and battered carts were pulled by huge carts and stopped in front of the yamen.

Near midsummer, the smell wafted away, and the onlookers covered their noses and frowned.

Yang Xuzhi did not go to the hall as usual, but stood in front of the mansion and waited quietly.

Fu Yin An Duan arrived after half a stick of incense, with a round face, broad forehead and big ears, saw the horrific Shangguan Yan lying on his back, approached to express his condolences, and wept bitterly while listening to Jingting's song:

"My lord, please make the decision for our master!"

The frame of the dead carriage was too tragic, and only the tattered brocade robes were left as physical evidence in the hall.

Panting heavily, Shangguan Yan recounted how he went out yesterday, how he found out that the route was different when he was about to leave the city, and how he was robbed and killed the moment he realized——

They are all masters of the rivers and lakes, and there are arrangements, they don't appear at the same time and they don't chase after them. One person misses, and the next person waits a mile away before making a move.

He himself had some kung fu and had a weapon at his side, struggling to resist.The coachman lost his life so early that the carriage lost control and drove all the way out of the city. When he was attacked for the fifth time, he and the carriage fell off the cliff.

There are indeed five sword wounds, which have been tested by the doctor.All kinds of physical evidence and on-site inspections can also support the statement.

A resident outside the city was summoned to court and asked if he had seen carriages running wild and fighting yesterday at that time, and he replied that he had never seen them.

The matter of robbery and murder was not caught at the time, and they were all masters. How could they find someone after that?In addition, Shangguan Yan said that they were all masked guests, and there was no way to draw a list.No matter how short the witnesses are, it is really difficult to track down.

"Our master accepted Jun's kindness and moved to Luzhou, and it was only more than three months. Where did the enemy come from? He ran to some places and wanted to do a few small businesses, but he also hit a wall—"

"Talk out." Shangguan Yan was lying on the hall in gauze, miserable.

Jing Tingge wiped away tears, "The baby is almost going to have no father! The master won't let the concubine tell me!" She knelt down and struggled against her round belly, feeling pity for anyone who saw it,
"There are no enemies recently, but in the early years there were—"

"Hugh is talking nonsense!"

Jing Ting Song is still incessant, "Master Wen Ju has been in charge of the rice and grain business in Luzhou City for many years. Our master wanted to get in touch two years ago, but we didn't make an agreement, so we ended up at that time! Last time, we burned paper and pressed the victory." about it," she bit her lip, tremblingly,

"I also have a relationship with Mr. Wen, I thought, this robbery, isn't it?"

The point is not to stop talking at the end.

In the sentence "in charge of the rice grain business in Luzhou City".

There are official warehouses for hoarding grain, and all transactions in the rice grain market are also done by individuals, with the permission of the government. How can it be controlled by warm officials?
Or is it that the rice shop of Yingliang Village in Luzhou City is the property of the Wen family?

Shangguan Yan was robbed and murdered, and he entered the government office with bruises all over his body. In addition to the previous two rounds of narration, all the spectators understood:

I'm afraid there really is an old enmity, and it's not the kind of petty fights and desperate ones.

——How can enmity be worth fighting for?

If it's not human life, it's money.

The finger of rice grain trading really seemed a little credible for a while.

The Wen family is not limited to Wanqing Academy, but also involved in money and food, and helps people run the fireworks factory.

It's not a crime, but it was an accident after all, and the reputation will be damaged again after many years.

Wen Juer was summoned and came very quickly. When he went to the hall to see the tragedy of Shangguan Banquet, he was also quite shocked. He and An Duan sternly denied the robbery and murder, and went to the wounded:
"Shangguan's son's country was ruined and his family was destroyed, but he lived in Luzhou but was not treated by the people. Wen Ju understands the pain a little bit. Not to mention the old grievances between what the son said and the old grievances, there is nothing; just talk about the king's kindness." He cupped his hands. facing north,

"My lord is kind enough to forgive you for murdering your father, but you are ungrateful. You have only been in Luzhou for more than three months, and there have been frequent incidents, and you have even accused my Wen family of being black and white. "He continued to arch his hands and turned to An Duan,

"Your Majesty Fu Yin has learned a lesson. The Wen family has been standing upright for a hundred years. Before the Shangguan family entered Luzhou, there was never even a word of gossip. My Luzhou has also been stable for many years, and there are few murders and arson. How can Jiusixiang's family mansion As soon as it opened, the city was full of troubles? Who is responsible, whether he harbors hatred for the family and the country, and uses the benevolence of the emperor to mess up our Luzhou, and then mess up Daqi, and please, sir, judge it impartially."

He was indeed well-dressed, and he couldn't tell he was a drunk.Jing Tingge has been staring at Wen Ju ever since he came to the court.Compared with Shangguan Yan's former gaudy and gaudy style, this man is also elegantly dressed, with an appearance of knowledgeable manners.

The eloquence is even better, every sentence is reasonable, and two of them almost hit the joints of her Jing Tingge Laizhou.

"Mr. Wen has been framed all the time! Didn't you recognize the business of Qunfangyuan? Our master said that he had done rice and grain business with you, which is naturally true. Otherwise, how would we know that you have Qunfangyuan under his command? How did you know each other? The concubine speculates based on this, it's not too abrupt!"

Wen Ju finally turned to Jing Tingge, walked over a few steps, still maintaining his demeanor, "This is Mrs. Ru, Mrs. Shangguan, I've admired him for a long time."

When they first entered the city, many people saw her, and there were a lot of comments, saying that this woman was not beautiful, and somehow she fell into the eyes of Mr. Shangguan.

It is said that it is because of the stomach.

In short, she has two points of fame in Luzhou.

Saying "Jiu Yang" is over.

Jing Tingge nodded weakly, protecting his stomach and retreating slightly, looking scared.

"It is rumored that Mr. Shangguan's property is all over Qingchuan, and he must have seen countless people, but he only keeps his wife by his side. If he wants to come to his wife, he must be superior. Today's ability to slander nonsense has been perfected."

Hearing this, Jing Tingge's legs went limp, and he immediately fell to the ground.Sweeping it out of the corner of the eye at the Shangguan banquet, he thought he didn't need to work so hard, right?Shock the kids!

"Fu, Lord Fu Yin," Jing Tingge stammered, pointing at Wen Ju, "Master Wen, are you threatening this concubine at this time? Concubine, if something unexpected happens to this concubine," he hurriedly stroked his stomach again,

"Or if there is a problem during childbirth, I am afraid that I will be killed by an adulterer! Please also, my lord—"

"Ma'am has such a sharp mouth." Wen Ju closed his eyes for a moment, then turned to An Duan, "The accusation is being made, and Caomin refuses to admit it. If your lord has any doubts, you can imprison Caomin and investigate."

He didn't say whether he didn't admit to robbery or killing, or he didn't admit to both of them.In this way, raise your hands flat and wait for capture.

Wen Fei's nephew, Wen Ju, was suspected of robbing and killing the owner of Jiusi Lane, Shangguanyan, due to business grievances. He declared his innocence in the hall and was willing to be imprisoned pending trial. It has been a long time since such a major incident has happened in Luzhou.

The defendant was frank and not afraid of investigation, and as a child of the Wen family, he took the initiative to go to prison, and he also saved some face for this wave of reputation damage——

"I'm afraid it's a false accusation. We are not happy that the Shangguan's family came to Luzhou. There are righteous people in the world who can't see it, and they want to vent their anger for the first king and the prince!"

"Then what Mr. Wen said is really reasonable! I am in Taiping, Luzhou, and the government and the people have a blind date. Mr. Wen has led the academy to teach countless heroes! Why did the house in Jiusi Lane come, strange things happened again and again, and I sued again and again! "

"At that time, I was in front of the government office and watched Mr. Wen get off the car. A man with a very good manner started a business and did some business. There is nothing wrong with it. If he is in charge of the whole city's rice and grain business, I'm afraid it is an exaggeration. It is really a false accusation. stop!"

The people in the city were discussing endlessly, Jing Tingge leaned against the bed of the Shangguan banquet at home with his stomach in his hands,
"It's not easy. The person was half-injured, and he only scratched his reputation a few times and threw out the fire line. The ignition is far away."

The Shangguan Banquet was really injured, mainly from the sword, but the bone injury from falling off the cliff was actually not serious——

He explained it in class, because he had to work hard in the car.

"It's ok. You said it yourself. The centuries-old family has deep roots and a great reputation. It's not easy to pry it open. With such a big commotion, Luzhou City, which has been in peace for several years, has since opened a gap. It's worth it."

"Isn't it you who arranged and acted by yourself?" Jing Tingge raised his eyebrows, "I see that Wen Ju's response is quite skillful, how can such skill attack you when six people have already died in the government office?"

"There is a saying called cutting grass and root. In the first round, I pointed out that he ran Qunfangyuan, but he dared not deny it. Just as you said, it was to prevent me from having evidence in hand; in the second round, we still used burning paper to make a fuss, and he would have a lot of it." Well, we don't have any evidence of his property behind him. The only evidence is my dealings with him in the past. In other words, I am the witness. I may find out Wen's secrets one day. That will wait What."

Jing Tingge had a face of "Who said earlier that the Holy Grace blesses them and they dare not kill you".

Shangguan Yan lay upright, unable to move anywhere, "There is another saying that there is no fear. It seems that they really covered Luzhou City, or joined hands with big shots to cover Luzhou City, and half of the radiated This Qi Nan, he is sure that no matter how he kills people, he will not be caught. The most important thing is," he paused,
"It seems that they didn't realize that I was thrown in by Gu Xinglang on purpose. If they realized it, they would have made a mistake, thinking that the kid was trying to humiliate me with the whole Daqi's resentment towards the Shangguan family. The so-called death penalty is exempt. There is no escaping the crime. I and the whole mansion were repeatedly humiliated before, but the kid didn’t respond at all, so he just set off smoke bombs to make them feel that my good or bad or even my life is not important.”

The concealment of the holy grace was shouted to thousands of people, and it was also the method of the last round. Naturally, there are many court songs.However, Shangguan Yan has no shortage of enemies for more than ten years in business, and now Qi Min resents it, and being robbed and killed is nothing more than normal.

It's really not stupid to make a move this time.

The only omission is that they did not smell Gu Xinglang's suspicion.

"His Majesty Qi Jun is satisfied now, and there is indeed a problem with the Wen family. It is wise to let you come here."

"It's time for me to rest too." Shangguan Yan said in a long voice, "This round of business, that kid will not let me recuperate. The matter of the next round will be discussed in the next round."

"There's nothing to rest." Seeing that he wanted to move, Jing Tingge leaned forward and pressed down, and then checked whether the wound dressing was intact, "I'm afraid not only you, but also me." Then he remembered what Wen Jutang said yin and yang weirdness,

"It's so fast and ruthless that you can cover the sky with one hand. I'm afraid our mother and I will die in Luzhou together with you."

Shangguan Yan snorted lightly, "Holy Grace blesses you, what are you afraid of?"

Jing Tingge was about to retort, but immediately responded, "That's right. Where are his hidden clues? He didn't find out the reality of this city, and I want you to poke it."
