"Actually, I don't have any eyebrows. I don't know if it counts as eyebrows. It was my father who figured it out. After he got this notice back then, he carefully studied every item proposed by Wen Songhou. Doubtful. First of all, he felt that there must be something wrong with the assistant officer who approved the grain."

"The officer has a problem, why? What?"

"Because if there is a real rebellion in Yanlu County, Cen Zhi will definitely take all the grain to Honglu County and throw himself into the trap. In fact, he only brought a small part of the grain first, and hurried to Honglu County to appease. Most of the remaining food was left behind. Even if the servants did not deliver the letter, why did they know that there might be a rebellion in Honglu County, and the chief detainee, Cen Zhi, had no news? Did they dare to send grain to Honglu County? Aren’t they afraid that Cen Zhi had been killed by the rioters and that they themselves would fall into the trap? Afterwards, they all said in unison that they were instructed by Cen Zhi. This? Explanation? What? What? Explanation? Either? There is an inner ghost in the assistant officer, or? Someone pretended to be Cen Zhi's servant and passed false news.

We all know that the queues for depositing food are generally very long, and the queues behind follow the queues in front. If the first release is false news, then all the news from the back to the bottom will be false news.So the position of the leader has always been very important, he is equivalent to the snake head of a team.If you want to control this group of food-depositing teams, you only need to control the snakehead.

My father said that he has seen people in the Yamen try cases, and some confessions can be guided.Those assistant officials said in unison? They said in unison that they were instructed by Cen Zhi, really? They must be lying.The key is that the first person to release the news, that is, this snake head, the fake news he released drove the entire team!If it was him who died? Biting was arranged by Cen Zhi, other adjutants would insist that it was arranged by Cen Zhi, the superior, in order to shirk responsibility.The presiding officer only needs to ask them if they have received instructions from Cen Zhi to transport grain directly to Honglu County, and they only need to answer yes.

And this snake head is the most important thing. As long as he insists on it, and Cen Zhi has an explanation, Cen Zhi will talk to everyone.Because he did? Said that misleading sentence, 'No? Trust the government, you should trust me, Cen Zhi, right? '

And the presiding judge only needs to know the fact that the food was delivered directly to Honglu County, without leaving the official warehouse.Then guide the confession according to the "facts", and it is easy to get such a result that is very unfavorable to Cen Zhi.It seems to be full of doubts, but in fact it cannot be refuted.In contrast, Cen Zhi's confessions are all based on false news, with neither witnesses nor physical evidence, so how? How to argue? "

Bao Siniang thought along her train of thought, "I understand, no matter how Cen Zhi argues, most of the presiding judges and jurors are from Sijiang, and they just want to lead to such a result , so that Cen Zhi can be put to death."

Banquet answer: "That's right, Cen Zhi was transferred to escrow grain in that year. It's not unusual in itself. He is the censor of the Metropolitan Procuratorate. Is there no one else in the imperial court's household department? A censor is going to be sent. Escorting grain? Think it over, and you will understand. Cen Zhi was sent to escrow grain, presumably, there must be a secret investigation. Although it was only the investigation of the Tu family, all four borders are prosperous, and all are damaged. They are worried about Tu The Cheng family, the Zhou family, and the Wen family are the next ones, so they unite to deal with Cen Zhi! Maybe from the very beginning, this is what the four Jiangs did together."

"So you probably understand the context of the whole thing. First, the Tu family killed civilians indiscriminately on the north bank, and was sued by Cen Zhi? The court, the Tu family pushed Fei Zhong out? He pleaded guilty and tried to cover up his crime. But Cen Zhi borrowed it again. Follow-up errands for grain, continue to secretly investigate the case in the disaster area. At this time, a conspiracy against him was launched. It is now certain that the mastermind behind it is the Tu family, and all four Xinjiang are involved. First, someone falsely reported a rebellion According to the news, Cen Zhi was led to Honglu County, and then the inner ghost among the officials escorted the grain, and the food was transported to Honglu County through the official warehouse, falsely claiming that he had received Cen Zhi's instructions. After that, what did Cen Zhi say? It's all? No? It's important. A three-division trial led by Sijiang is waiting for him in Beijing! During this process, the emperor's attitude was very subtle, as if he believed in Cen Zhi, so he was sent to continue investigating the case, but he seemed to doubt Cen Zhi Zhi, so I believed him to distribute food without permission to buy people's hearts. But Cen Zhi chose to commit suicide when he had no way to clear his innocence! This unsolved case in Cen's mansion finally won an all-round victory at a very small price for the Tu family. !"

Bao Siniang's ears were buzzing, as if she heard a huge bell ringing from the peak of Qixia Mountain 23 years ago.What kind of world is that where black and white are reversed and evil spirits run rampant!It's no wonder that Cen Zhi became the Son of Heaven in the lower realm. Probably only the sinful realm of the Netherworld can illuminate the right and wrong in the human world, and he is innocent.

Poor Cen Zhuo, her family has been ruined since she was a child, don't you know how she escaped back then?She lowered her head? She used her sleeve to moisten the corners of her eyes.

"When you mentioned eyebrows just now, did you mean this?"

"That's right," Yan Hui took a sip of tea, lowered his head and thought about what? Sergeant! Maybe we can find out the inner ghost!"

"You're right." Bao Siniang nodded. It's just that more than 20 years have passed since this incident. Those grain guards back then were either demoted or abandoned. Finding out? It's not easy .Just like this, I checked for more than half a year, with little gain.

But at this moment, a big event that caused a sensation in Yurui reached her ears.The owner of Zhengyan Zhuang who harbored the Yan Luo Gang gangsters was escorted to Beijing!It is said that she is Cen Zheng, the daughter of Cen Yanluo who escaped 23 years ago!

Bao Siniang's whole head thumped, "Why? Yes?" She had received a letter from Cen Zhuo a month ago, and heard the blueprint she had planned for Zhengyan Zhuang for the whole year. It was the time when I was full of ambition and ready to put it into practice, why? I was suddenly arrested?

When I went out, I collided with Yan Hui, who came to meet me,

"where do you want to go?"

Bao Siniang went up? Are you out of breath? Take it up, and said directly: "Go to Beijing!"

"I knew you would do this! But you can only watch the excitement when you go to Beijing. What? I can't help you. Let me tell you, more than 20 days ago, I was by the Ruijiang River I met Cen Zhu once, she seemed to have a premonition that she would be arrested, and she told me about the future? No matter what happens, you don't act like you know her. What does this mean? Does that mean she doesn't want to let you intervene."

Bao Siniang was taken aback for a moment, "Is this true?"

"Ok!"

"What happened? What happened?"

"No? I know, but what is known so far is that no one has discovered that she is the consort of the country!"

"Not found? This? How? Possible?"

"Have you forgotten? She is a cunning rabbit with several identities. She is very smart! I admire her to death. Remember to change into a woman's clothes when I was arrested! If I had been in a hurry!"

Bao Siniang is still worried.

Yanhui was helpless: "You listen to me and finish one thing, and then decide whether you want to go to Beijing?"

"What's up?"

"Do you remember? Remember what I told you last time about the ghost in the official's prison? Now it's a bit of a clue."

Bao Siniang was stunned for a moment before she was overjoyed, "Really?"

She motioned Bao Siniang to sit down? She spoke slowly,

"You know that the imperial court has always suppressed those officials with bad records. Most of the grain detaining officials involved in the case back then no longer served in the imperial court, and some even became ordinary people and started our business. , selling food.

A few years ago, I got acquainted with a food security officer in the team at that time by chance. His name was Lao Wu, and I called him Wu Bo.Although he is a warrior, he does business in a rough and meticulous manner, and he is very honest. I went to Lingnan half a year ago, and I even stopped by to see him.No? I know, right? It was the gang of Yan Luo Gang who made the fuss. At that time, he had drunk too much and felt it, so he mentioned to me the miserable situation of those people back then.He said that he worked in the infantry yamen in those years, and he was in charge of fifty or so brothers. He was ordered to accompany Cen Yushi to escort food to the disaster area.

After the case of Cen Zhi was discovered, he was also called to the Ministry of Criminal Justice for questioning.He said that they did not give false testimony at the beginning. At that time, his team was in the rear, and they all followed the instructions of their superiors. What happened in the front? They just followed.The result was messed up inside and out? No? It was people.People in the imperial court said that they were bought by Beijiang, framed Zhongliang, and had no good positions. What do they do? Their official careers were basically blocked? , come down? Do some small business and support your family?I asked him if he still remembered who his superiors were at the time. He said he remembered that his superior's centurion was named Lin, and his commander's surname was Xu.Other than that, everything else is vague.I waited for him to wake up and then asked him, but he didn't want to say anything! "

"Last time when you asked me, I thought I had to go to Lingnan again to clarify the matter. As a result, he went out to visit the mountains and rivers, and came back two months later. He looked at my heart So, sincerity, you told me a little more."

"He said that at that time, Chief Xu Zongbing went to another county to hold grain separately, and their team was directly led by Cen Zhi. At that time, there were four centurions in the team, and the first centurion What is his surname? What is his name? He forgot, and only remembered his nickname was Gibbon. Because his arms are so long that they can touch his knees, just like a gibbon. I was only in my thirties at the time, and later I heard that this person was sent to the southern border for garrison, and he died soon after, and his family members are nowhere to be found.”

"No? I don't know where? Could it be that he was bought by the Tu family? He framed Cen Zhi, and was murdered afterwards?!"

"Very likely! I'll tell you one more thing, and you might be pleased. What a coincidence, after all!"

"When I was traveling with my father back then, I met a lot of people. I'm born with a vivid memory of the places I've been to and the people I've made friends with! In my impression, I happened to have seen this? A man in his [-]s and [-]s, with arms stretched nine feet long, who sells tea in the high mountains along the upper reaches of the Ruijiang River."

There was a ding in Bao Siniang's head, "Could it be that person? Is he still alive?"

"It's possible. At that time, my father happened to be discussing business with Boss Liang. That guy rushed in and asked Boss Liang to pay back the money. Later, when he saw someone outside, he left in a hurry. I saw him slapping the table. The strength, the kind that can crush a person's spine with a slap! At that time, I was terrified and cried loudly. In order to coax me, Boss Liang told my father this? He has a weird personality and never Would you like to meet strangers, especially strangers from the capital? Don’t my father take offense? My father said that this man’s arms are amazing, and his mouth has thick calluses. Just remember him! Thinking about it now, he doesn't want to meet strangers, so does he have enemies in the capital? Or is he hiding from someone?"

Listening to the strange words "crying" and "coaxing me" in her mouth, Bao Siniang suddenly asked, "How old were you then?"

"About three or four years old! Me neither? I remember too much!"

Bao Siniang almost suffocated.

"No? But you have to trust my memory. My three-year-old memory is better than that of a hundred-year-old!"

Bao Siniang was a little hesitant, didn't she? She knew whether she should put her treasure on the memory of a three or four-year-old child.Even if she is seven or eight years old, three or four years old is not enough? It is reliable!

"When you were three or four years old, he should have just escaped from the capital. Don't you know? Will he be there?"

"Yes, definitely!"

"How do you? This? Yes? Sure?"

"Because I went back to that place to meet him again! And I brought back a portrait for Wubur to identify! Wubur said that the portrait is a bit old, but it looks, looks a lot like him, and it is likely to be him! He probably thought that The Tu family has collapsed, and no one can kill him, so there is no need to avoid anyone." After speaking, he took out a portrait from his cuff.

After seeing the portrait, Bao Siniang was both surprised and delighted: "No? Needless to say, it must be him! Back then, he faked his death in order to avoid being murdered and silenced! The stallion has been rehabilitated!"

"Rehabilitation? Don't talk too early, this gibbon may have nothing to do with this case? Nothing! I'm afraid to scare the snake, what? I didn't dare to tell him, and I didn't dare to ask him. I have to ask this question clearly. That's good."

But Bao Siniang is obviously already in high spirits.

"Yanhui, do you know why your family? What? From the beginning to the end? No? Can you make a fortune? Because you have not found your strengths from the beginning to the end. Your family has an amazing memory and is good at analysis. You should do intelligence business, say no? Surely you can make a name for yourself? ”

"Are you praising me or hurting me? Implying that I will never succeed in the grain business?"

"No, I mean it."

Yan Hui curled his lips and pointed to the portrait, "Let me tell you, even though he is a little older now, his strength is still amazing. If you want to go find him, or even catch him, I won't be with you , so as not to be beaten to death?"

Bao Siniang shrank her pupils, "You and Cen Zhu are considered friends, and you can solve problems for your friends? No? No excuses? Is that right?"

"Friends? No? No? No, it's enough for friends to drink and eat meat. You can go through life and death? You don't have to."

"..." Fortunately, she just talked about it, but in the end she went without hesitation.Of course, this is something for another time.
