The First Yamen of the Great Song Dynasty

Gao Ming knew that Zhu Chong would never believe that Jiang Yan was not dead unless he tied Jiang Yan, a living person, to him.

"Let me tell you, I'm going to send someone to find Jiang Yan, can you tell me where he is from, can you? It can also save some time."

"You, you are really crazy, I can't explain it to you!" Zhu Chong completely felt that Gao Ming was making trouble out of no reason, pretending to be crazy and foolishly muddling the water, "You want to find a dead person?"

"You tell him what family members he has and how you know him. I will be able to find him." Gao Ming was about to say, I want all the information on this man in a short time.

Zhu Chong gouged him out with his eyes, but he didn't speak at all, showing his lack of cooperation.

Gao Ming said: "Forget it, I will check it myself." To Tengfu Yin: "If you believe me, send someone to look for it."

Tengfu Yin was skeptical, and did not directly say that he would not look for him, "Well, I will order people to keep an eye on suspicious persons."

Zhu Chong pointed to Gao Ming and said, "Hehe, let's wait and see!" Angrily leading his followers, he walked out of Kaifeng mansion.

He didn't even say goodbye to Teng Fu Yin, obviously he no longer took him seriously, and wanted to find another place to bring justice to him.

Gao Ming snorted at his back, greeted Teng Fu Yin, and left Kaifeng Mansion.

An Daoquan stood where he was, seeing that everyone was leaving, he hurriedly followed Gao Ming and left.

Standing on the road in front of Kaifeng Mansion, he nervously asked Gao Ming, "What am I going to do now?"

"It's none of your business, just do what you have to do."

Gao Ming pedaled away, An Daoquan looked around, saw that there was nothing wrong with him, and walked away with his hands behind his back.

When Gao Ming returned to the Imperial City Division, he sent a personal follower, no matter what method he used, he had to find out the three generations of Jiang Yan's ancestors and find him.

Live to see people, die to see corpses.

In the evening, a relative came to report: "My lord, I went to the Imperial College to get the document registered by Jiang Yan, and I also looked for it according to his current address, but that place is a deserted vegetable field, and there is no one there." The names of his registered parents were checked in Kaifeng Mansion, and they died many years ago. And the neighbors also said that they don’t remember that the couple had children.”

Gao Ming was not surprised. Zhu Chong must have made a full set of false identities to get Jiang Yan to study in the Imperial College. For him, it was easier than making a pot of tea.

Who is Jiang Yan's true identity?

Could it be that it was brought back from some advocacy hall, and it is shameful?

This is not surprising, the entertainment culture is developed in this dynasty, the singers make money, and the men are vying to imitate them, which led to the emperor's special order that the men fine and punish the female offenders.

However, since there are consumers, the suppliers will not disappear, they just go underground.

If so, it will be troublesome. There are dozens of people with fake identities and names, and no one except their parents knows who they really are.

It seems that the only way to start is from Zhu Chong.

Gao Ming took a deep breath and said loudly, "Shi Qian—where is Shi Qian?"

The people next to him heard this and hurried to find Shi Qian.

Shi Qian quickly came to Gao Ming, "My lord, what are your orders?"

Gao Mingping retreated from the others, and said to Shi Qian, "Go and squat on the beam in Jiangyan's room in Zhu's house, and tell me everything you saw that night. Go, and report back after dawn."

For Shi Qian, Liangshang was as comfortable as his bed, and it would be no problem to squat for a few days or nights, let alone just one night. "Don't worry, my lord, take care of me."

Gao Ming thought in his mind that he and Zhu Chong were arguing in Kaifeng Mansion today, Zhu Chong would definitely be emotionally unstable, and he might go to Jiang Yan's room to see things and think about others, nostalgic for the past.

Maybe he will say something important to himself.

So he asked Shiqian to squat on the beam, and he might gain something.

After Gao Ming arranged these things, it was late, and he returned to his home.

As soon as he entered the door, the old Du Guan surrounded him, "Taiwei and General Hua are waiting for you."

Gao Qiu was busy with military affairs yesterday, and when he came back, he found out that something serious happened at home: Yin Tianci killed the old man's male favorite of the Zhu family, and was arrested by Kaifeng Mansion.

Hua Rong said that his son had already gone to the Imperial City Department to ask someone to help with the investigation, and he was waiting at home for his son to come. This wait lasted for a day.

As soon as Gao Ming entered the study, Gao Qiu asked, "How is it?"

Gao Ming announced directly, "Don't worry, Jiang Yan is probably not dead." He described in detail what happened in Kaifeng Mansion during the day.

Gao Qiu was a little skeptical at first, but seeing Gao Ming's swearing, he didn't doubt it at all, "My son is really good at solving cases. It is indeed right for the officials to ask you to join the Imperial City Division."

Hua Rong found that he was no match for Gao Qiu when it came to praising Gao Ming, "I'm afraid Jiang Yan is not that simple. What he did was clearly to make the Gao family and the Zhu family enmity, otherwise, why should he be a male favorite?" so."

Zhu Chong let him study and gave him money, even if Zhu Chong didn't want to see him one day, but before that, he had already earned enough, and he didn't have to worry about it in his life.

Now that he is feigning death and escaping, he has nothing left, which male favorite would do this.

Gao Ming kept nodding, "Go with me, this guy is definitely not easy. If his body hadn't disappeared, maybe we were really put together by him. Fortunately, he faked his death. If he really died, It's really difficult for us to deal with the real corpses there."

The three chatted with Jiang Yan for a while, but now there is too little information, and there is too much information to analyze, so they went back to rest.

Gao Ming even fell asleep, and when he opened his eyes again, it was already the next morning, so he hurried back to the imperial city to see Shi Qian.

Shi Qian didn't sleep all night, but he was still full of energy. A professional is a professional.

Shi Qian began to talk about what he saw last night, "After I sneaked into Zhu's house, I waited in Jiang Yan's room."

Gao Ming nodded while listening, listen, this is a professional, going to Zhu's house is like going to the vegetable market, only two words "sneak in", so easy.

"Not long after, Zhu Chong came in." The servant girl called him the master, so it must be Zhu Chong. Li tidied up briefly, followed by two sneaky young men who rummaged through boxes and boxes and stole things, and when it was almost dawn, a boy came, looked around the house, spit and left."

"are these all?"

Shi Qian nodded and said disappointedly: "That's all, it seems that there is no important information, so Master Zhu didn't mutter to himself."

"Uh..." Gao Ming looked at Shi Qian, "It's not that there is no gain, I think there is someone here who can provide us with information."

"You mean the sad maid?"

Gao Ming shook his head, "It's the boy who came in to spit at the end."

"Why?" No matter how you look at it, it must be that the maid has a good relationship with Jiang Yan.

"Although that servant girl shed tears, as a servant girl, she may just have a secret crush on Jiang Yan. At least Jiang Yan didn't tell her, otherwise she wouldn't be so sad. Simply put, she is an outsider." Gao Ming analyzed.

Shi Qian was taken aback when he heard that, "So the boy who didn't cry in the end knows that Jiang Yan is not dead?"

"No, he probably didn't know that Jiang Yan was feigning death. But he spit into Jiang Yan's room, indicating that the relationship between the two of them is very bad, so bad that they can't understand their hatred even if they die."

Shi Qian was a little confused, "Let's not look for a good relationship, but a bad relationship with Jiang Yan?"

"Sometimes, your enemies know you better than your friends." Gao Ming said, "Especially this kind of rivalry, I'm afraid he has secretly investigated Jiang Yan hundreds of times."

It is estimated that Jiang Yan has some black material, he has already collected a basket.

Shi Qian nodded again and again, "That's right, that's right, that's how it is." Colleagues are enemies, and enemies understand enemies, and all trivial and bullshit things are clear.

Gao Ming was gearing up, "This guy is the only one, quickly call a few people and arrest him!"

-

Peng Xin was in a great mood. He booked a room in Cuiyun Building by himself, ordered a table full of food and wine, and even called five girls in one go.

That disliked Jiang Yan was dead, making him feel ashamed all day long like someone owed him [-] yuan.

Now it's all right, it's really dead.

"Come on, drink it." Peng Xin was pouring a glass of wine into the girl's mouth when the madam came in and smiled at him apologetically, "My lord, the guest next door said they heard that your girl sang beautifully and wanted to call Go girls, look..."

Peng Xin was immediately annoyed, and laughed angrily, "Is this how you do business? The girl came into my room, can she still call her out?"

The madam said in distress: "This, this..."

Peng Xin took a sip of his wine, "I want to see who is so rampant." Taking advantage of the alcohol, he strode to the door of the next room, kicked the door open, and walked in, "You—uh— —”

Immediately afterwards, his mouth and nose were covered by someone, and he was brought to the table and held down tightly.

Peng Xin saw a handsome young man on the opposite side. There was no drink on the table, and there were four capable thugs standing around him. They didn't come here to drink flower wine, and it was clearly for a purpose.

Could it be that the gambling shop came to him to collect the debt, he blindly begged for mercy: "Give it a few more days, and I will definitely pay back the money."

Hearing the other party chuckle disdainfully, "We are not from the casino, but you seem to be short of money. If you answer my question honestly, I can give you a sum of money and ask you to pay it back."

"What do you want to ask?"

"You belong to Mr. Zhu, right? Then you must know Jiang Yan, what is his real name, and what is his origin?"

Peng Xin's face froze, and he said with an apologetic smile, "There are too many people in front of Mr. Zhu, and I'm not familiar with Jiang Yan." Who knows who the other party is, he dare not talk about Zhu's affairs outside.

Gao Ming raised his hand and gave him a slap, and said with a sneer: "Don't do this! We are from the Imperial City Department. If you tell what you know, I will let you go safely and give you a sum of money. If you don't Cooperate, then..." Even the cold smile gradually disappeared, and he said in a tone that could freeze people: "I will tell Zhu Zhuchong that you stole Jiang Yan's body for the Gao family."

Peng Xin gasped, this was too cruel, if Zhu Chong heard the news, he would not bother to care about the truth, he must be the one to watch, "Don't, don't be like this, Grandpa, what do you want to ask, just ask, as long as I Know."

"As I said just now, Jiang Yan's real name, what is his origin, and how did he get to Zhu Chong's side?"

Peng Xin said with a bitter face, "Okay, let me tell you, Jiang Yan came to the mansion last summer. It was brought back from Jiangnan by Zhu Xi, and it was specially given to his father as a gift. Zhu Chong likes him very much. When he comes, no one else will see the old man."

Peng Xin served Mr. Zhu just for money, not to mention he liked the old man, he didn't even like men, he only liked money.

Most of the male pets around Zhu Chong are doing this for money.

But Zhu Chong didn't care, he had plenty of money, so he didn't care what the other party really thought, as long as he was happy with him on weekdays.

Before Jiang Yan came, Peng Xin could always get rewards from Zhu Chong, big or small, enough for him to win or lose in gambling, but since Jiang Yan came, he dominated Zhu Chong.Peng Xin couldn't even see Zhu Chong, so naturally he didn't have any good rewards, his income decreased, and he gradually owed a lot of foreign debts.

"Zhu Xi brought it back from Jiangnan?"

"Well. I heard from a follower next to Zhu He that Jiang Yan's father, in order to curry favor with Zhu He, dedicated his son to the Zhu family when he heard that Mr. Zhu liked good-looking teenagers. But I heard that he originally He was born to a singer, so he can't be regarded as a serious son."

Gao Ming said in his heart, anyone can be a father, but a man will do anything to get promoted and get rich. It's trivial to sacrifice a son born to a singer.

In the Spring and Autumn Period, a man named Yi Ya cooked his son to the princess to eat in order to curry favor with Duke Huan of Qi, and he got the reward as he wished.

"Why did Zhu Shi's cronies tell you?"

Peng Xin was a little embarrassed, "It doesn't matter why he told me, but I swear to God that I never lied. Jiang Yan's real name is not Jiang Yan, his name is Yan Ran."

In order to investigate Jiang Yan's details, he also paid a lot.

"Does he have something in your hands?"

"I'd like to, but I don't. If he had anything, I wouldn't bother him so much."

"Does he have any hobbies?" A person's hobbies can be suppressed in a short period of time, but they will not be quit.For example, Jiang Yan likes cricket fighting, so there may be news of him in the cricket fighting venues along the way.

"Hobbies? No! Really not!" Peng Xin said with a bitter face, "Maybe he hid it so deep that I didn't find it. Anyway, I looked for it before, but I couldn't find it."

If there is any reason for bad habits, you can also sue him.

Gao Ming thought to himself, anyway, knowing Jiang Yan's real name is already a big gain, and asked someone to fetch a gold bar and throw it to Peng Xin, "If you think of anything, go to the Imperial City Division to find him, his surname is Shi." The time shift next to the eye.

Peng Xin gained a lot today, and said happily: "It must be, and suddenly I remembered something, that, Jiang Yan doesn't eat meat or drink, and doesn't drink at all, does that count?"

He is a vegetarian, Gao Ming raised his eyebrows, "That's right, just tell us if you think of anything."

Since he doesn't eat meat or drink alcohol, it proves that his excuse to invite Yin Tianci to drink that day is an excuse, and his purpose is to touch porcelain.

If what Peng Xin said is true, then Jiang Yan was sent by his own father to be a male favorite, and the physical and mental injuries can be imagined. He came up with a trick to escape the shell, and by the way, provoke the Zhu family and the Gao family, and made the Zhu family suffer head, it makes sense.

Gao Ming knew Jiang Yan's real name: Yan Ran.

Soon, based on his father's desire to curry favor with Zhu Chong, an official surnamed Yan was found from the files of Zhu Zhi's cronies held by the Imperial City Division. Judging by his age, this person should be Jiang Yan's father and did not run away.

Gao Ming immediately issued a reward notice and asked people to post it in the state capitals along the way to Hangzhou.

And that night, Gao Ming got news from Liang Shicheng that Zhao Ji would go to Cui Niannu's place at night, so he hurried to Cui Niannu's place to "ambush" the official's house.

When Zhao Ji arrived, he heard Cui Niannu say that Gao Ming was also there, and he couldn't help thinking, just in time, he was also looking for him.

Cui Niannu saw that the time was almost up, so he got up and opened the bead curtain to let Gao Ming in.

Gao Ming walked to the official's house with his head down.

Zhao Ji said with a slightly reproachful tone: "You let my Wanbo Hall not be built, what have you been busy with these two days? Cai Jing told me today that your relatives killed the people around Zhu Chong, and you still hinder The Kaifeng government investigated and even sent someone to steal the dead body, so is that what you are busy with?"

Cai Jing didn't serve as prime minister for nothing for so many years. Naturally, he also has the ability to turn black and white, add oil and vinegar, and add fuel to the flames.

In Cai Jing's description, Gao Ming appointed Hua Rong to teach Yin Tianci, his relative, to violently wound someone to death.

Gao Ming and Hua Rong are guilty of abetting, while Gao Qiu is not strict in teaching his children, so he is also jointly and severally liable.

Gao Qiu was not there at the time. If he had been, he would have been so angry that he wanted to play the cuju demeanor of his youth and kick Cai Jing's Tianling Gai away.

In short, it was Yin Tianci who committed the crime, but there were no good people in Gao's family, and even Hua Rong, the queen who lived in his house, was black.

"Official, please listen to my explanation... Cough! Cough!" Gao Ming suppressed his cough and raised his head in panic, "I am afraid that the official will misunderstand, so I have been busy these days proving my innocence."

As soon as Gao Ming raised his head, Zhao Ji was startled. Gao Ming had two dark circles under his eyes, and his lips were pale without blood.

Looking at it under the light, it looks like a ghost.

Cui Niannu also acted frightened, "Yanei, have you not closed your eyes for a few days? Take care of yourself, your appearance is too scary, you should take a good rest."

Cui Niannu cared about Gao Ming, Zhao Ji didn't feel anything, he had already known about Gao Ming and Hua Rong through King Yun, "Look, even Niannu can tell, how many days have you not rested?"

After all, he is his favorite minister, Zhao Ji still feels a little uncomfortable seeing him like this.

"I'm fine." Gao Ming said "strongly" to Zhao Ji: "Officials, I really didn't send anyone to steal the body. I want to do an autopsy the most, because I suspect that Jiang Yan is not dead."

Zhao Ji also learned about it from Cai Jing, but in Cai Jing's description, this is Gao Ming's method of destroying corpses and eradicating traces in order to shirk responsibility, "Oh? Will the dead be resurrected?"

So Gao Ming took the forensic doctor for the time being, and told Zhao Ji the knowledge about suspended animation he heard from An Daoquan, and said: "The first deceased Jiang Yan was forcibly dedicated to the Zhu family by his father. He has resentment in his heart and wants to fake death." He has a motive to escape. Second, I suspect that there is a big conspiracy behind Jiang Yan. He wants to instigate the Gao family and the Zhu family, causing us both to lose. How vicious are your intentions."

I'm sorry, King Yun, I dragged you into the water again, but who knows that only when you are involved can your father be cautious.

Zhao Ji didn't want to see the crown prince, and was planning to make the third son, the third son, King Yun, the king. The Gao family and the Zhu family, who were good at speculating on the holy will, naturally supported King Yun.

Gao Ming said: "Don't you think it's strange that a male favorite suddenly started to get angry and instigate between the two families? Perhaps Cai Taishi wanted to bring justice for the deceased, so he ignored the strangeness."

If he slanders the Zhu family in front of the officials and exposes the faults of the Zhu family, it will prove that he is "vicious", so he puts himself in the same innocent situation as the Zhu family, implying that they are all innocent people who were framed up.

Cui Niannu cooperated on the side, "Yes, the official family, there are all kinds of wonders in the world. If Jiang Yan really cheated and ran away, leaving Mr. Gao and the Zhu family to hurt each other, the relatives and enemies will soon be hurt."

The matter has risen to the national level, and it is not a small Jiang Yan who is running, but a conspiracy.

Seeing Zhao Ji's serious face, Gao Ming knew that his words had worked. Zhao Ji would only allow him to investigate slowly and deeply only if he described the gaffe seriously.

"Are you sure Jiang Yan is not dead?"

Gao Ming nodded, "Give me time, and I will definitely find him by digging three feet deep."

"Well, I'll give you three months."

Gao Ming hurriedly said: "Thank you, Lord Long En." It was more time than he imagined.

"Okay, you go back and rest, don't forget my guild hall."

"My minister retire."

Gao Ming backed away in small steps, then touched the underside of his eyes, rubbing some gray down.

He noticed that Cui Niannu's light was covered with a thick lampshade in order to create a hazy atmosphere, and the light was very dark, so he pretended to be haggard in advance and turned a little "shape".

Of course, these are all small tricks, what really works is Zhao Ji's fancy to Zhao Kai.

Sitting in the carriage, Gao Ming wiped his eyes with a handkerchief, and said to himself, "The government will give you a three-month lenient time, Cai Jing and Zhu Chong, if you know, your noses will be crooked." Bar."

Sure enough, the next day he heard the news that the Kaifeng Mansion told Zhu's family that Yin Tianci's first interrogation would be three months later.

Master Zhu was so angry that he went to the Ministry of Criminal Justice to ask, and the Ministry of Criminal Justice also said the same thing.He went to Cai Jing again. He didn't know what Cai Jing told him, but when he came back, he fell ill, probably because of the pain of losing Jiang Yan, and being angry by this "dark court without seeing the sun".

Black, it's too dark, the officials don't uphold justice for themselves, what a fool, they actually believe in Gao Ming's nonsense.

Zhu Chong lay on the bed with tears streaming down his face, thinking.

-

Gao Ming took a two-pronged approach and used all the power in his hands. In addition to the Taiwei Mansion and the Imperial City Secretary, he also had the power of the underworld.

As the former boss of Liangshan, Gao Ming issued Jianghu No. [-] hunting order, offering a reward of [-] guan to capture Yan Ran alive (this person used to be named Jiang Yan).

The details of this person are attached below.

He wanted to capture Jiang Yan in the Jianghu to make it as deeply rooted in people's hearts as the goblins knew that if they ate Tang Seng, they would live forever.

It was sent to the interior of Liangshan Army as quickly as possible, and placed on the desks of Song Jiang and Wu Yong.

Although Gao Ming is not in the arena, there are still legends about him in the arena.

Song Jiang and Wu Yong discussed it and came to a conclusion.

The matter Gao Yanei ordered not only to be done, but also to be done well.

Immediately called all the leaders of Liangshan together, "Gao Yameni is looking for a man named Yan Ran. Those who can read can read it for themselves. Those who can't read can listen to Wu Xuejiao to read the characteristics of this person."

Li Kui muttered, "I'm no longer the owner of the village, and I'm still playing the role of the owner of the village."

Dai Zong scolded: "You black man, after the yamen's speech, the Xiang officials have never confiscated wine and meat, and you are the one who eats the most!"

Li Kui bowed his head and said nothing.

"Although Gao Yanei is not the owner of the village, he has always helped us. Now that he is in trouble, how can he not help?" Lu Zhishen said.

Others echoed aloud, and nodded silently.

-

after that.

"Timely Yu Song Gongming is looking for a man named Yan Ran, who of you know? Have you ever met?"

"Isn't Song Gongming an officer?"

"It's to be an officer, but was the money he gave you fake?"

"That's right, come on, tell me what it looks like."

-

"Timely Yu Songjiang offered a reward of [-] yuan to find a man named Yan Ran..."

"Wu Song offered a reward of [-] to find a man named Yan Ran..."

"Jiangjiang Dragon Li Jun offered a reward of [-] yuan to find a man named Yan Ran..."

"Urge judge Li Li to offer a reward of [-] yuan to find a man named Yan Ran..."

"It didn't stop Mu Hong from offering a reward of [-] yuan to find a man named Yan Ran..."

-

If there is a bulletin board in Jianghu, it must have been swiped by the news of looking for Yan Ran recently.

Gao Ming was in Tokyo eagerly waiting for the news to come to his door.
