Twin Brocade

Chapter 659

The catcher was carrying a water and fire stick, and a simple knife hanging from his waist. The crowd surrounded Quan Moxian, and the group left the yamen of the Ministry of Punishment.

Before he walked out of the gate of the Ministry of Criminal Justice, a fat official stood there with his arms folded, squinting his eyes and said strangely: "Oh, Mr. Quan is such a powerful official, where are you going?"

"Investigate the case." Quan Moxian said calmly without stopping.

"Excuse Jiang for his ignorance. I haven't heard of any major cases recently that are worthy of Mr. Quan's action?" The fat official stepped forward, blocking his way.

"Murder case, is it considered a serious case to Mr. Jiang?" Quan Moxian's eyes were sharp.

A group of arresting officers were not as good as the other, but their expressions did not conceal their inner disdain.Mr. Jiang was suffocated and couldn't find any words, so he had to let Quan Moxian lead people past him in a hurry.

Watching them leave, he spat on the spot and said bitterly: "Bah! You're just a mud leg, let's see how long you can enjoy yourself."

After finishing speaking, he turned around and went straight to Gu Shang's study, and reported: "Master Shang Shu, my subordinates saw Quan Moxian leading someone out of the Yamen, and said they were going to investigate the case."

"Your subordinates are watching, he is acting suspiciously."

Gu Shangshu squinted his eyes, and said: "Look where he went, let a few people follow him. I want to see, what the hell is he trying to do."

Ever since Quan Moxian came to the Ministry of Punishment, he, a majestic Shangshu, has been beaten several times.How could he swallow this breath?

In the beginning, he was ordered by Guan Jinghuan to embarrass Quan Moxian, which also made him suffer a few small losses.But in those few major events, Quan Moxian stole the limelight.

If the suppression failed, he was promoted from a sixth-rank member wailang to a fifth-rank doctor instead.

A fifth-rank official is nothing in the capital.But Quan Moxian is only in his twenties, at this age he can become a fifth-rank official, not to mention right now, even if he counts 100 years ahead, he can't count with one slap.

Quan Moxian, a young man, has a bright future.

It's a pity that he stood on the opposite side of Quan Moxian from the very beginning.At this time, he could only go one way to the dark, vowing to suppress him to the end.

Mr. Jiang got the order, went down happily, and ordered people to follow Quan Moxian.As long as it was something that would be detrimental to Quan Moxian, he would be more than happy to do it.

During this investigation, Quan Moxian did not ride a horse, but sat in a carriage.

As soon as he got out of the city gate, Haifeng rode his horse forward, leaned over the car window and said: "My lord, someone is following up."

"Slow down a little more, don't let them get lost." Quan Moxian curled his lips, and there was a sneer at the corner of his mouth.He deliberately chose to go out at this time, just to let Gu Shangshu's people see him.

When the group arrived in the southern suburbs, Steward Liu had already arranged for his servants to wait here, and said, "My lord, please follow me." The arresters were no strangers to this situation.This is not the first time that Quan Moxian's family has been able to do so.

Quan Moxian got out of the carriage and made a booing gesture.The crowd lightened their steps, led by the man, and quietly shuttled through the dense warehouse.

When they arrived at the gate of a yard that looked very remote, the leader pinched his mouth with his fingers and uttered two short sparrow chirps, and listened carefully.

After a breath, three sparrows chirped from not far away.His face relaxed, and he nodded at Quan Moxian.

"on!"

Quan Moxian waved his hand violently, and all the arresting officers shouted loudly in unison, causing the dust on the courtyard gate to fall down.

A burly policeman rushed forward with a water and fire stick, raised his leg and kicked open the courtyard door, and the crowd behind rushed up and rushed into the door.

They all had a kind of blind trust in Quan Moxian.This time, he said he was here to investigate a murder case, and with such a situation, he thought that the murderer was hiding inside.

But the scene in front of them made them stunned and stood there blankly.

They imagined various situations, such as someone committing a murder, or the assailant resisting with arms, or the people inside fled in embarrassment.In the process of arresting the murderer, what kind of situation did they not see?

But the situation in the courtyard is really normal.

A man in brocade clothes was wiping the sweat from his forehead, furiously cursing a steward in front of him.There were also a few servants who were waiting by his side, all of whom were scolded so badly that they couldn't lift their heads.

In a big family, reprimanding a servant is indeed a very normal thing.

But, is it worth their fuss?
Could it be that Mr. Quan made a mistake?Or was the person who led the way wrong?All the arresters looked at each other in blank dismay, with the same question written in their eyes.

Quan Moxian had expected this situation in his heart.

Where did he come to catch the murderer?He set a bait to lure Hong Ziliang to come to the warehouse to check in person before he could get the stolen goods.Expose this major case of privately exchanging grain through warehouses to the public.

Quan Moxian walked into the courtyard unhurriedly, cupped his hands towards Hong Ziliang who was standing in the courtyard, and said, "Young Master Hong, I'm sorry for bothering you!" His tone was warm, like an invited guest asking, "Would you like to eat?" Is it?" Pulling homely likewise.

Hong Ziliang was losing his temper at the steward, and was intimidated by such a sudden attack.

This is a secret place that even his father doesn't know.With so many people rushing in suddenly, how could he not be frightened?
He looked up at Quan Moxian, searched his memory, and remembered that he was the doctor of the Ministry of Justice who had a bad reputation.

"So it's Mr. Quan," he forced his hands together calmly, and said, "My lord is investigating the case? Maybe he went to the wrong place?"

"No mistake." Quan Moxian said with a faint smile: "Quan came here precisely for you, Mr. Hong."

"I?"

The ominous feeling in his heart became stronger and stronger, and Hong Ziliang wished he could leave this place quickly.

Do not!
He wished he had never been here.

"Master Quan was joking." Hong Ziliang's forehead was dripping with sweat, and he didn't bother to wipe it off. He tried to smile and said, "I remember, I have nothing to do with Sir?"

Quan Moxian nodded, and said, "Young Master Hong is right."

Hong Ziliang breathed a sigh of relief, and said with a smile: "Exactly! It is fate to meet you today, and we will invite you to a banquet some other day." He was getting more and more confused about Quan Moxian's intentions, and he just wanted to fool him away as soon as possible.

Quan Moxian smiled, but did not move, and said to Haifeng who was following behind him, "Go outside, and invite all Mr. Jiang's people in, and take a good look."

He wasted a moment of saliva with Hong Ziliang here, just to wait for the people who followed him.

In this case, he needs these people to testify.

Just when Hong Ziliang was stunned, Haifeng left the yard and brought in a few more people.Judging by their looks, these people are also on duty in the Ministry of Punishment.

There was an unconcealable astonishment on their faces.

He thought he was following Quan Moxian quietly, but he ordered someone to call him in.The embarrassment of this is beyond words.

"Okay, since everyone is here, let's start!" Quan Moxian said.

"You... What do you want to do?" Hong Ziliang blushed with anxiety.
