"Li Dingyi, the chief clerk of Dongyang, and Huang Ziming, a judicial officer."
Du Bixing pulled out two pieces of tissue paper from the archives and handed them to Li Xuan with a serious expression.
The thin paper clearly records all the history of Li Dingyi, the chief registrar of Dongyang, and Huang Ziming, a member of the judicial army.
"It was these two people who took charge of the responsibilities and powers that Sihu should have been involved in after Sihu joined the army and died of illness." Du Bixing said it very directly, and even his views were equally direct.
Whoever is the biggest beneficiary is the most likely murderer.
"It's also possible that Sihu joined the army and offended other people outside. After all, Sihu's position in joining the army is too important. If he is a little biased, he will be killed." Wang Bo raised his eyebrows slightly, such a direct conclusion of the case He did not approve of this method.
Wang Bo put his hand on the table, looked at Du Bixing and said: "I know that this situation may not be serious, but it must be considered. Maybe this is someone who knows the current situation and deliberately framed it for Tianyin Sect to divert attention. .”
"Mr. Zian's words make sense." Du Bixing actually nodded in agreement, looked at Wang Bo with admiration, and said, "Mr. Zian's years of experience have yielded results, but Mr. Zian may have overlooked one thing."
As he said that, Du Bixing turned to look at Li Xuan and said with a serious face: "The person who killed people at this sensitive moment was Sihu Junjun. No matter whether it was related to Tianyin Sect or not, no matter whether the purpose was to divert attention, as long as If you take action to kill people, it will definitely destroy the imperial court's summer tax collection plan. Anyone who dares to take action or knows how to take action is already treason."
Li Xuan nodded calmly. Du Bixing's words sounded reasonable, but they smacked of sophistry.
However, in Li Xuan's view, Du Bixing has been staring at the Tianyin Sect for many years, so he naturally has his own way of doing it.
In this case, Du Bixing may have some unknown evidence, but it's just that he has just met Li Xuan for the first time, so it's hard to bring it out.
"Regardless of whether this case is related to the Tianyin Sect, we must detect it, and then use this case as an excuse to directly control the entire Dongyang, eliminate all hidden dangers, and completely make Dongyang a place where we can pacify the Tianyin Sect's counter-case , the most solid foundation." Li Xuan's ambition was clearly revealed in this sentence.
"Here!" Yu Ze, Wang Bo, and Du Bixing agreed at the same time.
"Dongyang, the county magistrate, the county captain, the chief secretary, the sihu, the sibing, the sicang, the judiciary, the sigon, the shishi, the six cao army officers, as well as the recorders and assistants all need to be identified one by one. However, the most important thing is The one who figured it out was Huang Jin, the magistrate of Dongyang County.
The county magistrate is the leader of the county. No matter what the problem is, he is the one who has the most insight into everything. "Li Xuan looked up at Du Bixing.
"The prince wants to know what Huang Jin is like. It's simple." Du Bixing nodded calmly, and then said: "To be honest with the prince, Huang Jin, the magistrate of Dongyang County, is my sister-in-law. The only thing that will disappoint the prince is that he died in two months. He was seriously injured in the previous assassination. Although he is getting better now, he usually rests in the manor outside Dongyang City, and the daily government affairs are left to the county magistrate Gu Tan." Chinese website
"That's it." Yu Ze and Wang Bo understood now.
No wonder Du Bixing knew everything about Dongyang. It turned out that his sister-in-law was the magistrate of Dongyang County.
"The Dongyang County Magistrate was injured, why was it not mentioned in the official documents of the court?" Li Xuan's brows suddenly frowned.
Could it be that the Dongyang County Magistrate's injury was concealed?
"Your Majesty may not have noticed that in the list of official documents from the imperial court, there is also the word "etc."" Du Bixing showed a wry smile, then spread his hands and said: "That day, the governor was seriously injured, the chief governor died on the spot, and many officials They were injured at the same time. Among them were Huang Jin, the magistrate of Dongyang County, Ning Yi, the magistrate of Jinhua County, and a group of police officers and soldiers. However, the only people the court paid attention to were the governor and Sima."
"Is that so?" Li Xuan frowned slightly. The several official documents he had read were all similar.
The contents of official documents from the Secret Guard, the Ministry of Secretariat, and even Dali Temple were all very similar. No one mentioned the assassination of the Dongyang County Magistrate and the Jinhua County Magistrate.
"As long as you can still manage politics, the DPRK and the Central Government will naturally not care." Yu Ze suddenly
After speaking, Li Xuan understood immediately.
After all, he is a county magistrate. If he describes his injuries as too serious, it will inevitably make the court think of replacing him.
"In this case, after arriving in Dongyang, we still need to visit Magistrate Huang. They were assassinated in Zhoucheng that day, and I also need to find out the reason." Li Xuan pressed his forehead slightly.
The reason why he didn't go to Zhoucheng as his first stop was to avoid falling into the trap that others had set.
It has been more than two months since the governor Wang Fanglin was injured. Whatever layout the Tianyin Sect has in Wuzhou has been completed.
This can be seen from the sudden rise in prices in Dongyang before.
The opponent's tentacles have already crossed Wuzhou City, even encountered Yiwu, and directly reached Dongyang. It can be seen that the situation in Zhoucheng is serious.
If he reaches Zhoucheng, there is no chance that he will be imprisoned and killed in Zhoucheng. It is better to start from Dongyang, cut off the chaos quickly, and capture Dongyang directly.
Then it goes up the Dongyang River, heading straight to Yiwu, and finally to Zhoucheng.
"I heard that Your Majesty has a lot of experience in solving crimes. I'd like to learn more today!" Du Bixing looked at Li Xuan, slightly cupping his hands, with a serious look on his face.
"The matter of Wuzhou can be settled by taking Dongyang, Yiwu and the city. The rest is not a worry. However, we need to know the location of the Tianyin Sect's main altar in the mountains and their troop dispatch routes. How to intercept is the most important thing." Li Xuan looked serious. He was confident enough to win the Wuzhou matter, but once the Tianyin Sect raised troops, he had to respond.
Once there is a delay, it will be a passive situation.
"Your Majesty is extremely worried." Du Bixing nodded seriously, then took out a piece of paper from his body, picked up the brush, and simply drew a map of Wuzhou on it.
Finally, Du Bixing pointed directly at the Wu River and said with a serious face: "This is Sanhe Pass. It is the first pass from Tonglu to Wuzhou. If the construction is not done well, then Sanhe Pass will be in danger." risk."
"Jiande!" Li Xuan sighed with emotion, shook his head and said, "Chun'an and Jiande counties were captured by bandits back then. Although there have been many recurrences since then, their love is very deep!"
Since the Tianyin Sect uprising, the imperial court implemented strict tax laws in Muzhou, causing many people in Muzhou to flee.
The population of Wuzhou, Hengzhou, Quzhou, and even Shezhou has skyrocketed, but today the population of Muzhou is indeed declining. This is the imperial court's punishment for the people of Muzhou who followed the Tianyin Sect in revolt.
"The second is Meiling Pass, which is the only way to reach Longxi from Jiande. The third is Zhitang Town, which can be reached from Jiande over the mountains." Du Bixing took his hand away from the picture, and then parallel Pointing to the left, he said softly: "This is Quzhou, the land of Quzhou plain. If they are willing to attack Quzhou, that is what we would like. After all, the fields are wide and open, so it is easy to kill."
Although this is the south of the Yangtze River, infantry and cavalry are still the most lethal weapons of the imperial court. This is something Tianyin Sect cannot catch up with even if it develops for a hundred years.
What they can really do is to fight in the mountains and fields. This is their advantage.
If they abandon their own advantages, they are seeking death.
Li Xuan previously recruited a group of mountain hunters from Hangzhou who had left Wuzhou over the years for this purpose.
"After taking Dongyang, we have to go straight to Zhoucheng, but it is best to send people to capture these three places directly when it is best to go to Zhoucheng again, especially here, Zhitang Town."
Li Xuan said coldly: "I will also completely close the passage between Wuzhou and Muzhou, and completely close the passage between Muzhou and Hangzhou. The people of Tianyin Sect will either wait to die in Wuzhou, or they will have no choice but to flee to Quzhou. Then he was chased to death while on the run."
Li Xuan's hand gently drew a circle around the entire territory of Wuzhou, and finally he closed his five fingers. In the blink of an eye, it was as if there was a heart tightly grasped in his hand.
Seeing this scene, Du Bixing's face suddenly became solemn, and he raised his hands and said, "Your Majesty is really a generous man. Once successful, the entire Wuzhou will be completely pacified in a short period of time."
