Chapter 146 - Retroactive Source (2)
The Prefect's hand that was holding the treasure shook as he asked, "What do you want to know?"
Qiu Jinzhi laughed. His charming eyes were filled with endless charm.
The Prefect said, "Young Master Qiu, please feel free to speak."
The servant brought Qiu Jinzhi a cup of water.
Qiu Jinzhi thought for a while and said. Hmm. I want to know all about the case against the Qu family fifteen years ago. "
The Prefect had prepared the baptism of the storm, but he did not expect it to be like this.
He raised his head and laughed: "You're asking about this ~" Fifteen years ago, this official had not yet entered the service. Moreover, he must have recorded this in detail in the county journal. "Second Young Master Qiu, if you don't mind, you can look through it."
Qiu Jinzhi asked: "You don't even know the details of the situation?"
"I know a little about the smuggling of salt, the envoy, and the mighty general, the Qu Residence, which was jointly handled by the minister and the envoy. They had a huge network of benefits and many people were panic-stricken at that time. The next year, I will be like this floating sea of officials. " The Prefect sighed with emotion. At the same time, he also lamented that he had already become a Prefect. No promotion for years.
Qiu Jinzhi glanced at them and said: "Then, let me see your county records."
"The Prefect waved at the Grand Master and said." "Prepare a carriage."
Qiu Jinzhi and the Prefecture Overseer walked out of the room together. Under the north wind's howl, the sky was covered in clouds, and the wind felt like sharp knives in their faces, causing them to feel pain. Qiu Jinzhi touched the furnace inside his sleeves. It was still warm.
Sitting in the carriage, under the guidance of the Grand Master, they finally saw the legendary Magistrate.
When the books in the room opened the door, there was a heavy smell of dust, and a pungent smell of ink.
Under the guidance of the Grand Master, they finally saw those things. If not for his guidance, who knew how long they would have been able to find them.
"The three of them were carrying a pile of books when the Grand Master asked in curiosity," Why did you guys suddenly want to see this? "
"I'm just a bit curious. This little official is extremely greedy, even in the State Beizhou, he is known for a few things, and this person is a prime example of a case, so I suddenly want to know who you are. " Qiu Jinzhi explained.
Bai Ze thought about it. It sounded like it was true, but she couldn't find a reason to refute.
The Grand Master pursed his lips into a smile. "I didn't think that Second Young Master Qiu would have such a free time. There aren't many people who could have as much time as Second Young Master Qiu."
Qiu Jinzhi waved his hands, indicating his modesty. Qiu Jinzhi said. To be able to be found out, there must be some kind of accident, or we did not stop when our Country was in danger, and the accident happened. Otherwise, for small fish and small prawns, our emperor would open one eye and close one eye. "
These words caused the Grand Master's eyelids to twitch. Of course, he didn't say anything else, but said, "Please take your time to look around. I've already arranged for people to guard the place where the items should be."
"We'll send someone to lock the door when the time comes." Grand Master.
"Right." Qiu Jinzhi nodded.
Bai Ze sat behind Qiu Jinzhi, and from start to finish, she did not say a single word.
After the Grand Master left, Bai Ze then asked, "I listened to what you said just now, it seems like there's something behind your words?"
Qiu Jinzhi looked at Bai Ze, and felt that he was not stupid, and had a bit of understanding towards him. To such a news, he said, "Yes, that is indeed the case." Qiu Jinzhi exhaled, and blew all the dust on the thick books away. None of this was lost.
Qiu Jinzhi looked at the large amount of dust on the ground and said: "How many years has it been since anyone has come to this place, they have frozen me to death."
Qiu Jinzhi turned to look at Bai Ze. Bai Ze was sitting not far from them, seriously flipping through the books, as if she was trying to find some clues about them.
"This is not a murder scene, don't look at the edges of the books. We are looking at the content, you don't have to look at the cover one by one. Let's just look for the big story according to the month of that year. "Looking at such a thick pile, it seems like it was the month of the Grand Recorder."
Bai Ze looked around one by one.
"That year, the mighty general returned to the west capital and brought back the Sun. Their son did not return, but only the general and the general returned. Not long after that, they went to the Luzhou to investigate the situation regarding the smuggling of salt." Bai Ze said.
When Qiu Jinzhi came out with the summary, he had just seen White General.
"Why have you experienced it? What else do you know? "
"I don't know. I don't know the specific reason. I just heard that everything has to be written in accordance with the county journal. After all, what I said isn't a big deal."
The records of the county:
The Qu Clan smuggled official salt into the city in the year 31...
Simply put...
The Minister of Government was ordered to investigate the south of the Yangtze River.
Originally, he was only passing by the Luzhou to rest, but after resting for two days, because Minister Qiu Jinzhi was wearing light clothing, he accidentally discovered that the salt prices in the Luzhou was very high, and because of the continuous torrential rain from the Luzhou, he sent his adults to rest here.
Since they were eating in a restaurant, the price was very expensive, which attracted the attention of the messenger, adults.
It had to be fifteen years ago.
A light drizzle fell from the sky. The chamberlain, who had been in a hurry to go to the south of the Yangtze, had sent you a muddy wagon on the bumpy road. This sent the carriage to the carpenter for repairs, but the minister had to delay the journey for a short time because of the heavy rain.
When he was about to leave that day, he was surprised to find that the food was very expensive. When he asked around, he found that the local salt was more expensive than gold, which attracted the attention of the Minister of Government.
So he stopped on his way to Jiangnan and began to explore why the price of salt was so expensive.
He disguised himself as a Trader and found the owner of the inn to ask for information.
