It was the fifth day of the first lunar month in the thirty-third year of the Jing lunar calendar.
The spring breeze quickly turned the land that had been dead all winter into green again, and the tender green sprouts poked their heads out as if they were reborn. They looked at human beings who were different from them and were busy all year round and never rested. He shook his head and seemed to be smiling.
"boom!"
A bolt of ice shot out fiercely and penetrated into the ground, and a sprout was instantly annihilated. In the distance, Shen Hao, wearing regular clothes, was slowly concentrating his Qi and Qigong.
At chen shi, the carriage and horse that came to pick up Shen Hao were waiting outside the door, taking Shen Hao all the way to the Tongli Yamen.
As soon as he sat down, Wang Yiming knocked on the door and came in, holding a tall stack of documents in his hand. These were all things that required Shen Hao's signature. Some items that did not require Shen Hao's personal review had already been distributed by him to the deputy commanders of the Black Flag Camps in various places, or there would be many times more.
Shen Hao signaled Wang Yiming to put down his things. He had already expected the things that would pile up after his bath, so he was not surprised at all.
"Sir, the thing you ordered before has been completed, and the person was put back the day before yesterday, and it was settled later. However, the other party refused the benefit, saying that it would be easier to deal with him in the future if he left a favor."
Shen Hao was stunned for a moment, and then realized that Wang Yiming was talking about Hu Tian's previous request to him to save his nephew. Hu Tian told him about this matter two days ago, saying that he had gone home and only suffered some skin injuries in prison. He was also frightened and fell into a coma for a whole day after he came back. Come on. At the same time, Hu Tian also expressed his gratitude.
This is really just a small thing for Shen Hao. He didn't even come forward in person. Wang Yiming found someone to give a message and solved the problem directly. This shows that the matter is not too serious and there is room for maneuver.
However, the other party did not accept the benefit and instead chose to ask for a favor from Black Flag Camp, which was somewhat beyond Shen Hao's expectations. The other party was actually a thoughtful person.
"Well, this matter was done well." Shen Hao nodded in affirmation, which meant that the matter was settled. But soon I saw that Wang Yiming did not respond, and looked like he still had something to say.
"Anything else?"
"Yes, sir. There is still something behind the matter of the boy named Hu. Do you think it needs to be dealt with?" Wang Yiming adheres to the principle of doing things to perfection. After digging into the causes and consequences of this matter, I found that it was not that simple.
"Tail?" Shen Hao frowned. Asked: "What other tail?"
"Returning to your Majesty, what the boy committed seems to have indeed violated the law and sold stolen goods, and a part of the stolen goods was taken as evidence. Therefore, the local yamen wanted to behead him in public. However, if you look carefully, you will find that there are flaws in the source of the evidence and the kid's original intention, and you can get away with it if you want to dig into it. That's why this matter is relatively easy to handle.
However, I personally checked the case files of the local government office and found that the boy was probably tricked into getting in. Someone wanted to use his life to put an end to the stolen goods.
Therefore, my subordinates were worried that if he didn't clean up, the boy would be silenced. Do you see? "
Wang Yiming's words surprised Shen Hao. It's just a frame-up, but it's possible that the frame-up fails and then people are killed and silenced?
The "honest boy" in Hu Tiankou seems to have gotten into more than ordinary trouble.
"Tell me in detail what happened."
Wang Yiming heard this and quickly introduced it. To put it simply, Hu Tian's nephew was greedy for petty gains and bought a large amount of old grain from a "friend" he knew at a very low price. The quantity was so much that his small winery could not use it up in several years.
It was impossible to keep Chen Liang for a few more years, so Hu Tian's nephew wanted to resell most of it and make a profit every time he bought it. Judging from this alone, Hu Tian's nephew is still a bit clever.
But things changed when Hu Tian's nephew contacted the second buyer with the help of a "friend". Not only did he receive only 20% of the advance payment, but 80% of the food was also shipped away. Then the Yamen officials He came to pick someone up and sent him in immediately.
"Has anyone found it?" Shen Hao directly asked the key. Since Wang Yiming asked if he wanted to clean up the matter, he would definitely not come to ask him without doing anything.
Sure enough, Wang Yiming nodded and said: "Yes, sir, we have found three groups of people so far. One group is the "stolen goods", that is, the sellers of low-priced grain, and the other group is the second group of buyers behind, and the whole process. A horse and carriage company involved in the transportation of these old grains.
These three parties seem to have nothing to do with each other, but by digging into the interpersonal relationship of the "middleman", we can find that in fact, all three parties have had direct contact. It's obvious that these three parties plus the middleman are all working together to deceive people. The purpose should be to transfer that part of the "stolen goods" away from the surface. "
"What does the Yamen mean?" Shen Hao understood after hearing this. However, this case was sponsored by the local government, and the other party had just sold a face to Black Flag Camp. Now it would be very unkind for Black Flag Camp to rashly interfere in other people's cases.
It can be said that Wang Yiming has become more mature in his work now, and generally everything is leak-proof. When Shen Hao asked, he quickly said: "My subordinates have asked, but the local government has no plans to dig deeper."
"Huh? No such plan? Why?" Shen Hao knew that the local government also had its own examinations. How could he give up on the investigation of a case so easily? No more credit?
"Sir, the main reason is that this case is not simple. The local government does not want to cause trouble, nor does it want to offend a big shot."
"What big shot?"
"The Qin family. The owner of the carriage and horse shop is Zhou Wang, a well-known local wealthy businessman. One of his sisters married the third son of Qin Mu, the governor of Jingbei Town, as a concubine. It was also this relationship that made Zhou Wang so successful in his short career. In just a few years, the carriage and horse shop has grown into a big business, and it is said that he also has plans to get involved in the local barbarian slave business."
The Qin family? !
Is this an accident within an accident?
Shen Hao's mouth twitched upwards. He didn't know if he was lucky or if the Qin family was unlucky. Originally, he had instructed Wang Jian to secretly investigate the various businesses of the Qin family, but he didn't want the clues to come to him on his own.
But does this matter really have anything to do with the Qin family?
After thinking about it for a while, Shen Hao felt that it might be related. Because according to the news from Feilong in the black market, the things the Qin family purchased from the black market included "grain". Now the key to the matter involving Hu Tian's nephew is also "food". It would be strange if the two were unrelated.
"Since the local government has no such idea, let's help them. However, this matter can only be carried out secretly. Don't alert the enemy, do you understand?"
"My subordinate understands!"
