Chapter 112 Big Surprise
The seat of Qinghe County is Nha Trang. Generally, according to the system handed down from the Ming Dynasty, locals cannot serve as local officials.
Li Yuanqing's family was originally from Shandong. When he was young, he came to Jiaozhou Province with his father to do business, and then took root in Qinghe. Precisely because his ancestral home was in mainland China, when Li Yuanqing was sent to serve as an official, the Ministry of Civil Affairs did not consider coming here. Therefore, he can be the magistrate of Qinghe.
According to the Ming Dynasty official system, starting from the county magistrate level, all houses are provided by the county government. Because Li Yuanqing's family worked hard in Qinghe, their family purchased a seaside house in several key places along the sea in Nha Trang. His villa is also considered a prominent figure in the local area.
Marrying a daughter of the Li family was a big deal, and the local black and white figures in Qinghe paid great attention to it. However, according to the rules of the country, Li Yuanqing did not receive the slightest benefit from these people. He was indeed a rare honest official in the local area.
What's more, the daughter of the Li family is not married to an ordinary person, but to the son of the current associate minister of the cabinet. Although he is not the eldest son, in terms of his status as father-in-law, the Li family is considered to be on a high branch.
This is also a topic of conversation in Qinghe.
Before entering the door, Tang Dong turned to look at Song Boxian and said: "Brother, I don't know if your information is accurate. If there is any deviation, I will inevitably offend the people above me this time. I'm a lot older. It doesn't matter. No." Do you know if you can bear it?"
The names have all changed, which proves that Tang Dong regards Song Boxian as one of his own. Song Boxian felt relieved a lot and said with a smile: "If nothing goes wrong, this is the time. If something goes wrong, I will quit at worst." Jin Yiwei is here, go to the Imperial College to study honestly."
"Imperial Imperial College?"
Tang Dong's expression changed. Looking at the back of Song Boxian who was already walking forward, he murmured: "There are so many talented people in China. The great talents from the Imperial Academy actually come to do the work of Jin Yiwei?"
Li Yuanqing's expression was a little deserted, but Song Boxian was more understanding. Anyone else would feel uncomfortable.
"Li Zhixian, I don't want to ask any other questions, but I want to ask you one thing. According to the local custom in Jiaozhou, when a woman gets married, the groom's family must give a jar of old wine as a gift to the bride's family in return. , according to the custom, the wine is buried underground for three years and then returned to the husband’s family after the expiration, is that true or not?”
Of course Li Yuanqing knew about this custom, but did Song Boxian know about it?
he does not know...
Time goes back two hours.
When Song Boxian and Tang Dong set out, they happened to meet a group of people knocking and carrying things in the other direction as they passed by the street intersection.
Song Boxian asked curiously: "Brother Tang, which wedding is this or what? Why don't you see the groom and the bride?"
Tang Dong glanced at it and laughed: "Brother Song, I don't know. This is our local custom in Jiaozhou. Anyone who marries a girl will receive a gift from the groom's family when he returns home on the third day after the marriage. return gift."
Song Boxian said oh, and then he saw two people among them carrying a wine jar. Song Boxian asked again: "What does the wine jar mean?"
Tang Dong looked at it carefully and then said: "That's called Zhentan wine. In Jiaozhou, it's also called wine for women. It's also one of the men's gifts in return. However, this wine must be brought to the woman's house when she returns home. Wait for it. It will be returned to the man after five years.”
Song Boxian looked at the gift-giving team that was gradually going away, and at the wine jar that was being carried, and suddenly there was an explosion in his mind, and his whole body was nervous.
"If the wine jar is not filled with wine, but..."
When Song Boxian thought of this, he immediately called Wei Xinlan and asked to find out in detail what route the Xie family took in return gifts to the Li family and what they contained.
A few minutes later, Wei Xinlan called: "Jinyiwei's internal investigation revealed that the Xie family rented a small passenger and cargo plane from Jinling Airlines in the form of a charter flight. Because of the Xie family's identity, the airline company did not have one at the time. Carefully investigate what goods the Xie family put on the plane."
After ending the call, Song Boxian took out a copy of the gift list that Li Yuanqing showed him. There was indeed a jar of 1855 aged wine from the Dukang Group on it.
Song Boxian laughed twice, then patted Tang Dong on the shoulder and said, "Old Tang, if things are handled smoothly this time, everyone in your small flag team will be rewarded."
.
Song Boxian and Li Yuanqing stood side by side on the edge of a flower garden in the back garden of his villa. Everyone who belonged to Li Yuanqing looked warily at the Jin Yiwei who was busy digging out wine jars in the flower garden, for fear that they might do something to it.
Song Boxian was surprised to find that Li Yuanqing's secretary-general took out a recorder at some point and pointed it at a group of them.
Song Boxian smiled slightly, and then asked the Tiqi around him to turn on the recorders: "Video the entire situation. After all, this is Li Zhixian's private residence. If something goes wrong, none of us can afford it."
"found it..."
Tang Dong turned his head, and the people responsible for recording the video stepped forward, while some stepped back to record everyone present.
Four Tiqi took action and took out the wine jar buried in the soil.
"Oh..." Tang Dong sighed: "As expected, this family is from a wealthy family. This jar of wine is probably worth a lot of money."
Song Boxian looked at Li Yuanqing and said leisurely: "That's natural. The Dukang in 1855, for such a large altar, according to the current market value table, is no less than 1.3 million yuan."
Li Yuanqing's expression changed, but then he thought that the wine was a gift from the man in return and did not belong to him at all, and his expression immediately became much more natural.
Song Boxian walked towards Li Yuanqing: "Li Zhixian, come on, I will give you a big surprise today..."
Song Boxian turned to look at Tang Dong: "Bring the things over here..."
The weight of the wine jar is estimated to be fifty kilograms, and it would be quite laborious for four people to carry it.
"Open the mud seal..."
"Wait a minute..."
Li Yuanqing stopped his men's movements and looked at Song Boxian: "This little brother of Jinyiwei, I am not the kind of person who holds grudges, but there are many people here and you need to know that if this wine does not convince after opening, It’s my thing, then you go and explain it to the Xie family yourself.”
Song Boxian had never expected that Li Yuanqing would talk to him like this before the opening of the forum, but later he figured it out that Li Yuanqing's original intention was for Song Boxian to open the forum with him privately, not in public.
Now Song Boxian didn't understand this meaning at all. Instead, he thought that Li Yuanqing was thinking about him. He couldn't help sighing in his heart, then softened his heart and said in a calm tone: "President Li, my concubine met me once in Nanjing. It's just a pity. I entrusted you." Inhuman..."
Li Yuanqing frowned. He really didn't know how his daughter knew Xie Wenhui. Her daughter was studying in university in Nanjing, so maybe they met at that time.
"There are some things that little characters like you and I can't get involved with. Even if you and I meet today, we have to do it out of necessity." Song Boxian looked at the sea in the distance and sighed with his hands behind his back: "Li Zhixian doesn't like me waiting. , I don’t hate Li Zhixian with all my heart. If it weren’t for the clever methods and good luck of the people in Jinyiwei, we wouldn’t have the opportunity to talk about these words here today..."
Song Boxian chuckled: "Li Zhixian, the person who killed me was your famous local gangster organization in Qinghe. The bandit leader Xu Laoyao was captured by the Xichang people on the high seas and died in the battle. You can't help him." I know, and besides, the battle last night was so fierce and gunshots rang out in the quiet streets of Nha Trang. I don’t believe that no other people called the police;
Maybe you, Zhixian Li, really don’t know the inside story about these things, but..."
Song Boxian turned to look at Li Yuanqing: "Li Zhixian, I, Song Boxian, am a villain who holds a grudge..."
"Come on, Li Zhixian, let's see if there is anything good in this wine jar..."
Song Boxian looked at Tang Dong. Tang Dong stepped forward and knocked off the sealing mud of the wine jar, and then carefully removed the sealant around the mouth of the jar. After completion, the wine jar could be opened. But before that, Tang Dong turned to look at Song Baoxian.
Song Boxian nodded lightly, and Tang Dong opened the red cloth blocking the mouth of the altar in full view of everyone.
When the wine jar is opened, the aroma of aged wine instantly overflows...
Dozens of people among them all smelled the aroma of the wine, and they all secretly sighed about the good wine.
"Captain Tang, take a closer look. Is there anything else in the altar?"
Because the wine jar was relatively large, the mouth of the jar alone was almost fifty centimeters long. It was full of wine and the light was a bit dim, so Tang Dong took out a strong flashlight, turned it on and shined it absentmindedly into the jar.
Under the eyes of everyone, Tang Dong exclaimed, then sat down suddenly on the ground, turning his head to look at Song Boxian with a horrified expression.
Just looking at Tang Dong's eyes, Song Boxian was convinced that the cause of this incident finally had a good explanation.
So he stepped forward, took the flashlight from Tang Dong's hand nonchalantly, and said with a smile: "It's okay, I'll see if it's a good thing first."
Song Boxian calmed down and shined the light. Even though he was prepared, he was shocked by the scene in front of him.
Fortunately, he had already taken precautions, so after seeing this scene, his whole body only trembled slightly before returning to normal.
In the altar, Han Juan's head is at the bottom of the altar. Due to time issues, the tissues on her head and face have slowly melted away, and all the cortical tissue textures are clearly visible. The only scary thing is that Han Juan's eyes are protruding and her mouth is Da Zhang looked like he was determined to die.
Song Boxian was ecstatic in his heart. He found Han Juan's head in the return gift from the Xie family to the Li family. The truth of this case has been revealed...
Song Boxian took a deep breath, squinted his eyes and said, "Whoever takes a sip of this wine will lose three years of his life..."
I don't know who said in the crowd: "Such a good wine is exposed, let's see how Jin Yiwei will end up."
Just as Li Yuanqing was about to ask, Song Boxian turned to look at Li Yuanqing and smiled slightly: "President Li, come and take a look..."
