The discovery of the unknown man's body in the bamboo forest soon reached the ears of emperor Fengmo.
How can Feng Mo's violent temper tolerate someone committing a crime under his eyelids?
In a rage, Li Zhengfeng, the chief cabinet leader of the Capital University cabinet, came.
Li Zhengfeng, a native of southern Hunan, came from a poor family. Later, he studied hard in the cold window for more than 20 years.
He took the imperial examination three times before he got a place in the capital. Later, Feng Mo was promoted to the position of chief cabinet leader of the Capital University cabinet.
So Li Zhengfeng is very grateful to Feng Mo for his kindness.
Although the old guy is over seventy years old, his eyes are sharp and bright. There is always a murderous spirit on his body.
Don't laugh, don't like anger, don't like talking, only the chivalrous and murderous spirit of scholar's sword.
He has a dead face to everyone, but Fengmo emperor. He likes it very much, not because Fengmo is the real emperor.
But because Fengmo is really worth respecting.
Li Zhengfeng came to the hall, bowed down and said, "minister, Li Zhengfeng leads the order."
Feng Mo looked at Li Zhengfeng. A bunch of white beards almost reached the ground. His temples were white. Three thousand worry silk had already become gray, and he secretly regretted it in his heart.
Such an old minister should return to his hometown and enjoy the happiness of his family. When he was wondering whether he should change someone, he suddenly heard Li Zhengfeng say.
"Your Majesty, the old horse can pull cars for your majesty for several years. I hope your majesty will give the old minister this opportunity." Li Zhengfeng looked at Feng Mo with expectation.
Feng Mo nodded and said, "old Li, when can we solve this case?"
Li Zhengfeng smiled and stretched out three fingers.
Feng Mo thought for a moment, shook his head and said, "three days is a little hasty. I'll pardon old Li for seven days. What do you think?"
Li Zhengfeng smiled again and said calmly, "Your Majesty misunderstood. The old minister said three hours."
As soon as this remark came out, the sun was boiling in an instant.
Minister a: "Li Lao speaks wildly. How can he solve the case in three hours?"
Minister B: "yes, Li Laomo is old and confused?"
Minister C: "don't talk nonsense. Old Li may be quite sure."
Minister Ding: "are you sure what it has to do with us? If he doesn't solve the case at that time, it will be his sin!"
"Yes, yes..."
"Cough, silence!" the old eunuch standing next to Fengmo said.
Feng Mo was also surprised and said with a smile: "old Li, these three hours are too hasty, aren't they..."
Before Feng Mo finished, Li Zhengfeng interrupted him and said, "Your Majesty doesn't need to say much. Let's see how the old minister solved the case!" after kneeling down, he turned and left.
The time of the previous dynasty was Chenshi, which was an ancient system, similar to the current office workers who go to work at 8 a.m.
Therefore, it was not easy to be on duty in ancient times.
In ancient times, one hour is now two hours. Li Zhengfeng said that three hours to solve a case is actually about six hours.
Seeing Li Zhengfeng leaving, Feng Mo was a little embarrassed and said, "since old Li said it was three hours, let's wait for good news. No one is allowed to go!"
All the ministers complained endlessly, but they could only act according to their orders.
7 a.m. to 9 a.m..
Although Li Zhengfeng is old, he has a strong wind when he walks.
When he came to the Yamen lobby of Zhenfu division, he closed his eyes slightly and said, "it's said that a yamen official came to visit and there are witnesses who witnessed the dead."
After a while, the magistrate took Wang Ye into the lobby.
When Li Zhengfeng saw someone, he opened his eyes and asked, "who are you witnesses?"
Wang Ye glanced at the magistrate, who gave him a look.
Wang Ye hurried forward, knelt in front of Li Zhengfeng and said, "if you go back to the old cabinet, it's a villain."
Li Zhengfeng asked again, "tell me about the specific time, place and the shape of the dead."
Wang Ye replied, "yes, yesterday, the villain ate wine and wanted to urinate in the bamboo forest in Nancheng. When he went to the depths of the bamboo forest, he saw a man's body. He didn't wear clothes, and his body was full of knife wounds, beyond recognition!"
Li Zhengfeng nodded, waved his hand and motioned Wang Ye to step down.
He looked up at the magistrate and asked, "are you the magistrate?"
The magistrate hurried forward and replied, "he is the senior official of the cabinet, Ji Chenglin, and the governor of the town."
Li Zhengfeng nodded and said, "Lord Ji, did the identity of the deceased ever be clear?"
Ji Chenglin shook his head and said, "tell the old cabinet that the incident happened in a hurry. No one has come to report it."
Li Zhengfeng nodded, thought for a while and said, "there are three things you need to do. First, verify the identity of the dead. Second, check whether the knife wound was done by an official knife. Third, issue a reward for wanted. The wanted object is the dead!"
Ji Chenglin was still nodding when he heard the first two. When he reached the third one, he was obviously stunned, but he was also instructed to do so. He asked again, "old cabinet, how much is the reward?"
Li Zhengfeng smiled and said, "a quota of 1000 liang of silver!"
The magistrate gave a yes and went down.
Wang Ye stayed where he was and didn't know what to do. Then he came forward and asked, "if there's nothing else to do, the villain will go down!"
Li Zhengfeng shook his head and said, "you can't go yet. You're a witness and you're going to do something for me."
Wang Ye's face is full of questions. I'm a villain. What can I do for you?
Li Zhengfeng shouted, "come on!"
In an instant, two people came out and pulled Wang Ye to the hospital. Wang Ye was yelled and shouted, "wronged! Old Ge, the villain didn't commit a crime. Why did you press the villain up!"
Li Zhengfeng smiled and waved his hand. The other two yamen soldiers hurried away. Just when Wang Ye looked confused, a pot of pig blood came to his mother-in-law
9 a.m. to 11 a.m..
A bloody man was dragged out from the gate of the Yamen. Two yamen servants shouted: "this man falsely claimed the silver reward and was found by the old cabinet. We will not wronged a good man or kill a bad man by mistake! The old cabinet has life and the silver reward rises to 3000 Liang!"
The onlookers whispered, three thousand Liang, what an attractive fortune it is! But look at that bloody man! Thinking of wealth is also called back!
Who is this bloody man?
It was Wang Ye who was splashed with pig blood. He and Li Zhengfeng played a play, a filtering game.
Ji Chenglin also happened to be back at this time. He came to Li Zhengfeng and said, "I reported to the old cabinet that the knife wound was not caused by the official knife, but it does not rule out that the official family's children hurt people with the civilian knife. Therefore, the lower official specially checked the official knife for borrowing recently. Fortunately, no one came to borrow the knife and was rejected, so this matter should have nothing to do with the official family."
Li Zhengfeng stroked his beard and said, "it's still early to say this. Wait for it."
At this time, a newspaper came from the door, saying that there was a scholar who knew the people on the list.
Li Zhengfeng nodded and said, "the fish bite."
He got up and said, "go and try him!"
The visitor's name is sun Shanhou. He is one of the people who opened the Dynasty this time. Unfortunately, like his name, he fell into sun Shan's name.
Li Zhengfeng sat on the lobby and sun Shan knelt on the ground.
Li Zhengfeng patted the startled wood and said, "people under the hall, report your name!"
Sun Shanhou was almost frightened to cry and said, "tell your excellency, the villain's name is sun Shanhou. He is the loser of the current Dynasty."
Li Zhengfeng nodded and said, "after sun Shan, I asked you if you said you knew the people on the list. Is it true or false?"
Sun Shanhou replied, "Oh, my Lord, how dare a villain hide it? His name is Ji di. He's the son of his peers who rushed to the exam."
Li Zhengfeng nodded and said, "is he the same as you? Has he fallen down sun Shan?"
Sun Shanhou shook his head and said, "no, my brother told me that he must be the top of the high school list. He also said that he had inside information! But who ever thought that he was a bandit!"
Li Zhengfeng was surprised and said in his heart, "things are not so simple!"
But the surface did not show much surprise. Ji Chenglin was sweating like a rain. He was the top scholar. Now he is dead. This is a big event!
Li Zhengfeng shouted and said, "come on, take him to recognize the body!"
Sun Shan was stunned. Didn't he say the bandits? Why did he recognize the body again?
When sun Shanhou saw his brother's body, he fainted.
Knowing the magnitude of the matter, Li Zhengfeng immediately said to Ji Chenglin, "Lord Ji, go to the Shangshu Pavilion and get the information of the top person this time."
Ji Chenglin took orders and hurried to the Shangshu Pavilion.
Sun Shanhou came to the lobby with dull eyes. When Li Zhengfeng saw his appearance, he was shocked and patted: "after sun Shanhou, the dead man and his brother?"
Sun Shan woke up and said, "my Lord, the death of my brother has nothing to do with villains!"
Li Zhengfeng asked again, "is that man and his brother?"
Sun Shan nodded repeatedly and said, "yes, that man is and his brother. How can he?"
Li Zhengfeng asked again, "did he ever say what the inside news is?"
Sun Shan nodded and said, "he was drunk that day. He said that a rich childe named Qin Yaozong revealed it to him and said he wanted to buy his first name. At last, the two broke up unhappily!"
At this time, Ji Chenglin just transferred the information of the Shangshu Pavilion back.
The person at the top of the list impressively wrote "Qin Yaozong".
Li Zhengfeng knows it clearly in his heart. It seems that this person is highly suspected!
Startled, he ordered: "summon Qin Yaozong immediately."
Qin Yaozong is the eldest son of Qin Changlin, the richest man in the capital. He wants to get fame, but he is addicted to wine and sex, so he is not proficient in learning skills and can't learn it several times.
Finally, his subordinates gave him a notice, saying that a man named Ji Di, a poor man from a poor family, spent a lot of money to inquire. This man is the top of the list. Why not pretend to be his successor?
Qin Yaozong was excited and asked to meet his brother. They had a good chat, but when they heard the replacement, they turned their faces immediately.
Qin Yaozong thought to himself, "if you don't do it, don't stop!"! Immediately ordered someone to kill Ji di.
11 a.m. to 1 p.m..
When Qin Yaozong came to the court, he wanted to deny it. He never thought it was Li Zhengfeng. Li Zhengfeng proposed to examine the knife wound and sun Shan's testimony.
Qin Yaozong could only plead guilty and subdue the law. After three hours, a big case was solved by Li Zhengfeng. It can only be said that the network of heaven is broad and careless.
Minister Chong burst into tears when he saw Li Zhengfeng returning. Li Zhengfeng thought they were congratulating themselves. Who ever thought that these people had been kept alive for three hours!
