Kowloon wins

Chapter 83
Sure enough, there was a suicide note, and it was placed on Ru Fu's corpse. It was just a piece of paper, and there were only a few lines of words written on it. There is not much difference. As for the content of what he said, there is naturally no thorough explanation that the third master expected. Nothing else, to the third master, it is of no value at all.

"Third brother, what's the matter? How did your old man die? Grandma is a bear, and my father was still drinking with this guy at noon, but he turned up at night, it's evil!"

The granary was burned, and Ru Fu died for no apparent reason. The third master was naturally very angry, but even if he got angry again, he could only follow the rules and sent someone to urgently summon Kong Tongru, the magistrate of Jining (Jining is Zhili Prefecture, No magistrate, the highest officer is Zhizhou) led three classes of yamen servants to inspect the scene, but did not expect that Yinyu, who had not been seen for a long time, also appeared with Kong Tongru, but seeing that this guy didn't care what the occasion was, just now Turning around the screen wall of the Hou Ya, loud voices started to chatter.

Listen, look at how skillful Master Shi said. Inadvertently, he blamed Ru Fu's death on the third master. He was telling everyone that Ru Fu was forced to death by the third master. Since these days, the third master has really sent Heda to urge Ru Fu frequently, the "hard evidence" seems to be a bit overwhelming.

"Where did the tenth brother go, why did he come here at this time?"

How can a person who is so smart as the third master not be able to hear the meaning of those bastards in the words of the tenth master, but he can hear it and hear it, but it is absolutely impossible to speak out and defend it. Fortunately, the more you argue, the more you describe it. The third master will not do such a stupid thing that asks for trouble. No matter how angry he is, the third master can only pretend that he doesn't understand the tenth master. meaning, frowned, and asked a question with displeasure.

"Ha, it's nothing, the younger brother is not on the errand so that the job goes smoothly, isn't he in a good mood, so I went into the city and found a place to have a good time, well, the coolness is not in a hurry, so I listened to the yelling outside Water, the trousers that the younger brother just took off have to be put on again, grandma is a bear, it is really unlucky, you said that this old man of yours has never died, and he died when he was having fun, isn't it embarrassing What the hell, so that I had to run back in a hurry, no, I met Lao Kong halfway, and came together, neglected, neglected, the third elder brother has a lot of people, I think he will not be as knowledgeable as the younger brother let's go."

The third master just asked casually, but the old ten was fine, he yelled a lot with one mouthful, so vulgar that everyone else was shocked, but he didn't dare to lose his manners in front of the two imperial envoys, They could only hold back their smiles bitterly, and all their faces turned purple.

"Kong Zhizhou."

Knowing that the old ten is full of nonsense, but the third master can't do anything about him, he can't reprimand his brother in public for not doing business properly, you must know that such public tearing of face is a big taboo in the heavenly family, if you really want to If it got to the ears of the old man, he would definitely not praise his third master for killing his relatives righteously. He would only blame the third master for his mishandling of things. Probably because the face of the Tian family still needs to be talked about. Even if the brothers are actually fighting to the death, on the surface However, the harmonious attitude of the tenth master must never be lost. Because of this, the third master was very annoyed, but he could only pretend that he didn't hear the nonsense of the tenth master. The place is named.

Kong Tongru, the queen of the sage, even though he is not a direct lineage, his identity as a child of Confucianism is true. He was born as a Jinshi in the 33rd year of Kangxi. The blessing——According to the system of the Qing Dynasty, officials were not allowed to take office in their hometowns, with the exception of Jining. Probably because of the respect for the saints, the magistrates of Jining were generally appointed by people from the Confucian government.

"The subordinate is here!"

Kong Tongru was laughing secretly at the old ten's nonsense, when he suddenly heard the third master call his name, he didn't dare to neglect him, so he quickly calmed down, came out from the side, and answered loudly.

"Kong Zhizhou, since this case happened under your jurisdiction, you should be in charge of the investigation, so let's start."

The third master had no intention of talking nonsense with Yinyu, so he put on the airs of an imperial envoy and gave a reserved order.

"Xiaguan Zun..."

Kong Tongru has a special status among the officials in Shandong, and she always prides herself on being the successor of Confucius, and is less involved in the dirty work of Shandong officialdom. However, as an official, she is willing to do things. As soon as he bowed, he would agree to this.

"Wait!"

Before Kong Tongru could finish speaking, he saw Du Moliang, the inspector of Shandong, stood up from the side, and interrupted Kong Tongru's words with a cry.

"What is Master Du's intention?"

The third master was in a very upset mood. Seeing that Du Moliang had appeared, his mood immediately became worse. Although he never reprimanded Du Moliang for his rudeness, the gloomy tone clearly showed the extreme pain in the third master's heart. Big dissatisfaction.

"Reporting to my lord, it's not because I'm a low-ranking official, it's because I have a different opinion on the jurisdiction of this case. Please ask my lord, Haihan."

Du Moliang obviously didn't care too much about the third master's dissatisfaction. He cupped his hands and apologized slowly, but this kind of apology obviously didn't have much sincerity.

"Oh? If Master Du has any advice, you might as well come and listen to it."

After all, the third master is not an ordinary person, the city is deep enough, even though he was extremely bored at this moment, he did not burst out, but nodded his head calmly, and continued to ask questions in a calm manner.

"Returning to the prince, according to the system of our dynasty, the prefect of Jining only governs the civil affairs of Jining prefecture, while the Yamen of Hecao is the land of the emperor, and no one can intervene with the prefect of Jining. Today, the governor of Hedao, Mr. Ru, was killed in the yamen. Theoretically, it should be thoroughly investigated by the emperor, but now, even if it is done in accordance with the authority, it should be done by the inspector's yamen in Shandong.

Du Moliang is an old criminal name, he is very familiar with the law, he can tell the reasons, and he can speak clearly and logically, so that people can't pick out the slightest flaw.

What is Du Laoer going to do?What's the benefit of grabbing the right to solve the case?Is it possible to take this opportunity to cover up the truth of the matter?No, how could it be possible for the Eighth Master to make a move and leave an obvious loophole? If you go directly to investigate, you will definitely have a bloody head. If this is the case, there is absolutely no reason for Mr. Du to pull such a hot potato into his arms. , there is no doubt that this old man is trying to lure our old man into the bait!

Since arriving at the Hecao Yamen, although Hongqing has been standing by and watching without saying a word, in fact, her mind has been running at high speed. After repeated deduction, she has already noticed the strangeness of this case. Now, on the one hand, he didn't intend to show off too much, and on the other hand, there's no need to rush to point out the problem at this moment, but when Du Moliang intervened, he dug a hole in his words to let the third master jump However, Hong Qing could no longer stand still.

"Humph……"

Hearing Du Moliang's eloquence there, the third master, who was already in a bad mood, really got angry, his face sank, and he snorted heavily, planning to reveal the secret decree given by Mr. Kangxi to persuade him Shandong officials.

"Father, my son thinks what Lord Du said is very true. It is really a blessing for our country to have such a minister who understands etiquette and responsibility like Master Du. My son believes that if Lord Du is responsible for this case, the truth will be revealed. , It will definitely not cause your lord to die in vain, this child is so shallow, please let the father make a clear judgment."

Before the third master got mad, Hong Qing came out from the side, praised Du Moliang loudly, and took advantage of the opportunity to place the responsibility of the presiding judge on Du Moliang.

"Well..., whatever, since that's the case, Lord Du is in charge of this case. I believe that there will be nothing wrong with Lord Du. Lord Du, please go ahead."

Although the third master couldn't figure out the reason why Hong Qing suddenly stood up to speak well for Du Moliang, but he felt in his heart that Hong Qing's move was definitely not as simple as it appeared on the surface. After hesitating for a while, he decided to support Hong Qing. With secret intentions on the left and right, the third master is sure that he has the absolute certainty of turning the tables, but he might as well see what kind of tricks Du Moliang is going to play.

"Ah, oh, thank you, my lord, for being enlightened. Then Meng Lang will be the next official."

The case of Ru Fu's death is not a small case, and the entanglements involved are extremely huge. Whoever gets involved will be a big trouble. How could Du Moliang fail to see this? The reason why he used words to force the third master The fundamental purpose is naturally not to snatch the right to hear the case, but to take this opportunity to test the third master's cards, and by the way, take advantage of the opportunity of the third master to go crazy, and push all the responsibility for the case to the third master. Waiting for the calculation is not bad, but he didn't expect to be disturbed by Hong Qingsheng. Now, when he heard the third master's words, Du Moliang couldn't help feeling depressed in his heart. However, he had spoken so full of words in public before, and when he said it, there was nowhere to turn around even if he wanted to turn around. In desperation, he had no choice but to hold his nose and admit it.

"It doesn't matter, investigate carefully, and we must find out the truth. This king believes that Mr. Du is capable of this."

Although the third master still had some doubts in his heart, he didn't bring it to his face. Instead, he took Du Moliang to death with words, leaving no room for him to evade.

"My lord is too famous, I will do my best."

This has been forced into the corner by the third master. Du Moliang has nothing to think about, so he can only give a forced thank you, turn around, cast a cold glance at Kong Tongru, and squeeze out the In a sentence: "Kong Zhizhou, my official ordered you to immediately mobilize competent staff to investigate everywhere, and there must be no mistakes!"

"Subordinate to obey!"

Looking at Du Moliang's stinky face, Kong Tongru felt refreshed for a while, not because of anything else, but because the responsibilities that should have been borne by him, Kong Tongru, are now all transferred to Du Moliang's head, and nothing happened. The answering voice was crisp and clear...
