Chapter 13: killer
Chapter 13 The Kingslayer
(To thank the big favorites for their rewards and to celebrate the official signing of the contract, a new chapter is added!)
Changshoufang, a public office in Chang'an County.
Xu Jingzong, the magistrate of the county, appeared in Qin Lang's county lieutenant's house with a smile on his face, and expressed his appreciation for his speedy solution to the case today.
This was a very perfect case-solving. The new county lieutenant made his move. In less than half an hour, the case was solved, and all the criminals involved were brought into the case. Even the stolen gold and silver were recovered.
What's even more rare is that this case made Chang'an's bad commander Wei Chang, who has always been somewhat rebellious, also admire Qin Lang's five bodies, and he praised him endlessly after he came back.
Qin Lang got up from behind the pine table to greet him. He also just came back from the outside. It took him some time to buy the empty house with two acres of land in Yong'an Square with Ya people. With the help of his bad guys, Ya The man gave the lowest price, and only asked for one hundred and eighty guan, and the house belonged to Qin Lang.
Then I went to Hucao to sign the contract, set up a file to transfer the ownership, and invited witnesses, guarantors, etc. After a round of procedures, the house deed had been changed to Qin Lang's name, and the house had officially become Qin Lang's. Now Ah Huang is already busy asking someone to make a new door plaque.
In the hot summer, I was too busy to touch the ground. I just sat down in the public room, and the sweat on my body was still gone.
"This case is actually thanks to Captain Zhang of the Yong'anfang Street Shop. He discovered the clues and notified me in time. This enabled us to find out the thief in the Guofu groom, and we were able to follow the vine and get the Silla maid and the lost one. gold together."
He said it lightly, but Xu Jingzong knew that this matter was not that simple. He had not been in Chang'an County Yamen for a long time, but he also knew that the relationship between bad people in Chang'an County and the Marquis guards on the left and right was not harmonious. If they knew the clues, they would never rush to tell Chang'an County. They would like to gloat.
What's more, after the case was settled, Wei Chang's attitude towards Qin Lang changed drastically, and he had never enjoyed the appearance of being convinced.
"Huailiang, I went to Guangdefang just now, and Gao Zhizhong is very satisfied with your performance. You really are young and promising." He took two steps closer with a smile, and lowered his voice, "The one above has agreed The plan you proposed earlier, you can go ahead and do it, if you have any needs, just ask me, if I can't do it, I will ask Gao Zhizhong for help."
Time is running out, everyone is on the boat of the King of Qin, and we must help each other at this time.
Hearing which one he mentioned, Qin Lang nodded understandingly. Unexpectedly, Xu Jingzong was so efficient that he had reported it to Gao Shilian so quickly, and had already received Li Shimin's reply.
"Please don't worry, Mingfu, I will definitely handle it well."
"Time is running out. This is the last moment of the decisive battle. We are waiting for that person. We must work hard together at this time. But I also remind you that the more critical this is, the more careless you must be. If you lose Hand, if you get caught by that time, it will not only be your fault, it will even implicate your father, and even the entire Qin Palace, understand?"
According to Xu Jingzong's words, arming prisoners has to be done, but we must pay more attention to safety, and we must not cause trouble to let the other party notice.
Otherwise, once the incident happens, everyone will have to finish the game.
"Even if there is an accident, I will learn how to ride a horse like General Zhang Liang. I will stick to the secret and bite to death, not saying that I have carried everything."
The chariot general Zhang Liang is Li Shimin's confidant. He was sent by Li Shimin to Luoyang to secretly contact Shandong heroes. He was reported by the East Palace. Emperor Li Yuan sent a secretary to arrest him and torture him. As a result, Zhang Liang remained silent after being punished. In the end, Li Shimin helped mediate was released.
"Be more careful." After Xu Jingzong finished speaking, he put a small box in front of him, "This is given to you by Tuo Gao Zhizhong."
Open it, but there are many small golden knives.
Picked up a handful and weighed it, it was about five or two, and Li Shimin gave a hundred.
Hey, good guy, what a big deal. Last time I just gave three hundred taels, and now I gave five hundred taels again. Li Shimin really went all out, and wasted money desperately at this time.
But yes, for Li Shimin, the arrow is on the line. If he can't turn defeat into victory after three days, then he will have nothing at that time, and even his wife and children will be lost. Therefore, these gold and other things outside the body should be used as soon as possible. .
"Huailiang, you are the county lieutenant who sentenced Facao. Chang'an Prison is under your control. In addition, Gao Zhizhong greets you, so you can also contact Yongzhou Prison on the grounds of handling the case. I will leave this matter to you. , I am inconvenient as the county magistrate of Chang'an, so I won't participate specifically." After speaking, Xu Jingzong shook his sleeves and turned to leave.
Seeing how slippery this guy was, Qin Lang was also speechless. At this time, he only wanted Qin Lang to charge forward and him to command from behind.
But it doesn't matter, anyway, he is a civil servant, and he doesn't expect him to go to the prison to call the prisoners brothers and sisters.
Sending Xu Jingzong away, Qin Lang put away those golden knives.
Then He San, a boy in uniform outside the door, called Wei Chang. After experiencing the case of the Guo Mansion, Qin Lang found that Wei Chang was actually not bad, the key was that he was a person who could do practical things.
Wei Chang came in and saluted with crossed hands, his attitude was much more correct, unlike the perfunctory and contemptuous one when they first met.
Qin Lang took out ten gold knives and placed them on the pine table.
"Wei Shuai, these are for you."
Wei Chang was stunned for a moment, so much gold could buy several houses in Chang'an City.
"If you don't get paid for nothing, your subordinates dare not accept it."
"Wei Shuai, do you know why I can serve as the Chang'an County Captain?"
Wei Chang thought to himself, it is naturally because you are the son of Duke Yi Qin Qiong.
"Because my father is the Duke of the state, and there are people above my father, and there are people in the court who are good at handling things, so although I am young, I am directly appointed as the Chang'an County Captain. On the contrary, Wei Shuai, you have been in Chang'an County for many years. , but it’s still just an outsider, have you thought about the reason?”
"The subordinates come from humble backgrounds, and there is no one in the court." Wei Chang said bluntly.
"I've checked your color injection experience. I don't know if I don't look at it. I was shocked when I saw it. You were originally Yu Wenshu's domestic slave, but later you were exempted and became a good man, and you became a bad handsome man in Chang'an County. Later, you were recruited as a slave. Xiaoguo of the Sui Dynasty once conquered Liaodong with the army and escorted Jiangdu. Finally, he returned to the north with Yu Wenhua and King Killer, and finally returned to Chang'an. He took off his military robe and became a bad person. After the establishment of this dynasty, you will be awarded as Bad handsome, one term is nine years, right?"
This resume can be said to be amazing.
A domestic slave of Yu Wenshu, one of the five nobles of the Sui Dynasty, and later served as the hero of the emperor's army. He also followed the old master Yu Wenhua and killed the emperor, and then returned to Chang'an to fight against Li Mi, Wang Shichong, Dou Jiande and others along the way. , After Yu Wenhuaji's defeat, he broke up and fled back to Chang'an.
Put on the soap robe again, and be bad and handsome for nine years.
In a place under the foot of the emperor like Chang'an, Wei Chang can serve as a bad commander for nine years, but he has to have some real skills.
However, Wei Changcheng was also trapped because of the Yuwen family. When the Yuwen family was powerful, he could become a bad commander in Chang'an County even as a slave. Later, he was recruited to become an officer of the Xiaoguo Army of the Emperor's Pro-Army. He was once a member of the school A sixth-rank military officer like Wei.
But because of Yuhuahua and his regicide, when Yuwenhuaji was defeated in the end, he also fell into despair.
Although after returning to Chang'an, he still became a bad commander based on his ability, and Yuwenshi, the son of the old master Yuwenshu, is now also the prime minister of the court, but the two have long since lost the relationship between master and servant. No matter how capable he is in handling cases, he still can't break through the step of being an outsider official, and he can't step into the ranks of insider officials at all.
The new dynasty is no better than the old dynasty, and Yuwen Shiji will never take care of an old servant of his father's back then.
"Actually, based on Wei Shuai's ability, let alone Chang'an County Captain, in fact, Yongzhou Facao, or even a superior officer of a state, is completely qualified to serve."
Wei Chang shook his head, not expecting anything extravagantly.
"I'm not joking with Wei Shuai, I have such an opportunity here now, do you know who gave this gold? Tiance!"
Wei Chang's eyes widened suddenly, then narrowed again, but he didn't say anything.
"I have no reason to lie to you. You just need to know that the gold really came from that person. As long as you accept the gold today, not only will I be able to trust you in the future, but you can also become the person above. Let's do it together." Big deal, if the one succeeds the Great Reign, you and I will all be Conglong heroes, and rewards will be rewarded for the merits, maybe the post of Chang'an Thief Catching County Captain is yours, or even a higher position."
Wei Chang's breathing became a little heavy.
"I know that Wei Shuai has both ability, ambition, and courage. If no one helps him, Wei Shuai will probably stop at nothing in his life. Maybe one day he will offend a certain dignitary in Chang'an, and his end will be miserable. It’s possible, but if you put in the effort, the future will be completely different.”
Qin Lang believes that Wei Chang is not willing to be mediocre. This man was born as a slave, and it is not easy to be able to get along today. Moreover, when Wei Chang was a captain of the Xiaoguo Army, he followed Yu Wenhua and the rebellion and killed the king. Yes, so he is definitely not a person who lacks courage.
He looked directly at Wei Chang.
Wei Chang's chest heaved violently, his eyes were obviously red, especially the long scar on his face was red and purple.
"Life and death are up to fate, wealth and honor are in the sky, why don't you give it a try, win, and seal your wife and son!"
Wei Chang stretched out his hand and tore off his robe, revealing the thick chest hair. He panted heavily, and finally said in a low voice, "Whatever the Shaofu needs of me, just take my life."
"It's not what I want you to do, it's us working together for the one above."
"I listen to the Shaofu." Wei Chang finally made up his mind.
He is almost fifty years old, and if he doesn't fight, he will never have another chance. He used to be a sixth-rank captain, and he is not reconciled to the current day when he can see his head at a glance and never get his head out.
"Wei Shuai, is there any way to make the prisoners in Chang'an County Prison listen to my orders and be driven by me?" Qin Lang asked with a smile.
"It's not difficult to say, and it's not easy to say, but the Shaofu asked me, Old Wei, that's the right person." Wei Chang said confidently.
