"Of course." Zhu Song said as a matter of course, "he is Bai Keqi who should be nervous and guilty right now. All I have to do is wait for him to show his flaws."
"Yes!" Han Qingshan nodded and turned to invite Bai Keqi.
In the Qianhu House of Fufeng County, in the living room of the main hall.
Zhu Song sat down on the chair facing the door, squinting his eyes slightly, waiting for Bai Keqi.
"The magistrate of Fufeng County, Bai Keqi, kowtowed to Han Wang Qiansui!" Not long after, Bai Keqi entered the main hall with a few gift boxes in his hand, and saw Zhu Song sitting on the grand master's chair at a glance.
"Well, County Magistrate Bai is not polite." Zhu Song hummed lightly, opened his eyes and looked at Bai Keqi, and said, "I don't know why County Magistrate Bai came to visit early in the morning?"
Bai Keqi smiled at first, didn't say anything, just opened several gift boxes in his hand one by one, and said: "Your Highness, I got a few gadgets a while ago, and I heard that you always like to collect some small things. So I specially brought these gadgets to you."
Zhu Song glanced down, and his eyes lit up involuntarily:
Don't look at those small boxes, but the things inside are priceless:
Hetian seed jade beads the size of a thumbnail, a necklace with red and sapphires, and even a vividly carved Tianhuang Pixiu handle.
There are only three things, but they are priceless. Even if he is a small county magistrate, even if he achieves the position of Sangong in the future, he will not be able to afford any of these three things with ten lifetimes of court salary.
No matter how Bai Keqi obtained it through corruption, bribery, and extortion, after all, he was thinking about it. Zhu Song could see Bai Keqi's determination from these few gadgets.
"What's the meaning of County Magistrate Bai?" Of course, there are plenty of things like this in Zhu Song's Palace of the King of Han. Just a few pieces of jewelry are not enough to make Zhu Song lose his temper.
"Your Highness, I just heard that the lord was exhausted on the road. Except for three days in Qinghua County, he has never rested!" Bai Keqi rubbed his hands and said, "These little The stuff is all for the officials to show respect to you and let you play with it when you are resting your mind."
Zhu Song curled his lips, and said: "Magistrate Bai is being polite. I just came to visit because I heard that there is a treasure in Famen Temple. You don't have to send such a precious object just to please me."
"Your Highness, it's just three gadgets, you don't have to worry about them."
Bai Keqi smiled obsequiously, and said: "You can spend a few days in Fufeng County with peace of mind. If you want to go to Famen Temple, I can accompany you there anytime."
"Oh?" Zhu Song responded, and said, "So, there is the County Magistrate Laobai."
"Your Highness, you are being polite. I am just doing what I should do." Bai Keqi replied.
"Ok!"
Zhu Song nodded, and simply stopped talking.
The hall suddenly fell silent, neither of them spoke, Zhu Song closed his eyes as usual, Bai Keqi just kept drinking tea, and in a short while, he drank the whole pot of tea .
He couldn't bear it any longer, he would suffocate to death if he drank any more, Bai Keqi spoke first: "My lord, I have something to ask you."
"Speak." Zhu Song said without even opening his eyes.
Bai Keqi glanced at Han Qingshan first, and then said: "Your Highness, have you ever heard that a murder occurred in the city yesterday, with more than forty people killed or injured?"
"After all, I can't bear it anymore!"
Zhu Song laughed in his heart, but his face showed an extremely surprised expression, and said: "Oh, there is such a thing? Who is responsible for such a big murder?"
Bai Keqi shook his head, then nodded again.
"Magistrate Bai, since the founding of the Ming Dynasty, there has never been such a large murder case in any county except when the emperor ordered the arrest of imperial criminals!"
Zhu Song knocked on the armrest of the grand master's chair, and continued: "If this matter is not handled well, it will definitely alarm Ying Tianfu. County magistrate Bai should solve the case as soon as possible!"
"Your Highness is right." Bai Keqi nodded respectfully, and said: "The officials have already investigated this matter, but this matter involves Jin Yiwei, so..."
"Jin Yiwei!" Zhu Song opened his eyes, pretending to be surprised and said: "There is no Jin Yiwei's guard station in Fufeng County, how could this matter be handled by Jin Yiwei? Could it be the Jin Yiwei from Fengxiang Mansion?" (To be continued.)
Chapter 198 The troubles in Fufeng County
It is true that Fufeng County does not have the garrison conditions of the Jinyi Guards, but it does have a secret contact point for the Jinyi Guards.
According to the relocation of the Ming Dynasty, Jinyi Guards can only be set up in the government. Although the entire Ming Dynasty only governs 5 guards with a quota of 5600 people, Jinyi Guards has 17 guards, and the number of registered members even exceeds 6. Ten thousand.
"Your Highness, aren't those Jinyiwei your entourage?" Bai Keqi asked directly.
Zhu Song shook his head and said: "This king did not bring Jin Yiwei with him when he traveled this time, and the soldiers accompanying him were just ordinary soldiers. Why did County Magistrate Bai ask such a question?"
"Please forgive me for taking the liberty!" Bai Keqi replied with some embarrassment, "It's just that the soldiers under his command said Jinyiwei, but the official thought..."
"Those who don't know are not to be blamed!" Zhu Song waved his hands and said, "But if this is really what Jin Yiwei did, wouldn't it involve a holy case?"
"The lower officials will ask Mr. Zhang, Jinyiwei of Fengxiang Mansion!"
King Han refused to admit it, so what else could Bai Keqi say, he could only leave this sentence and go back to the county government office.
……
Bai Keqi left full of doubts and worries, but Han Qingshan said to Zhu Song, "My lord, let him go like this?"
"So what if you don't let him go?" Zhu Song couldn't help laughing: "Zhang Peng hasn't recruited anything yet. He is still the county magistrate here, and he is still the parent officer of a county. Taking a step back, even if Zhang Peng confessed to Bai Keqi So what? He can be said to be slandering, and he never admits it. Without evidence, there is still no way to arrest him?"
"Evidence is needed to catch him? I didn't see you asking for evidence when you killed those bandits?"
Han Qingshan rolled his eyes and said, "My lord, just these three precious jewels and jade ornaments are not something that a county magistrate can take out. We can charge him with a crime of corruption and give him to... "
"Arrest him?" Zhu Song said with a slight smile: "Then let's not call ourselves up! Isn't it just telling the people in Fengxiang Mansion that what happened yesterday was done by me?"
Han Qingshan was slightly taken aback, shook his head, and did not speak again.
"Okay, I walked around the city for a long time yesterday, and found that there are many merchants, officers and soldiers, people, and tourists in the city. Presumably, they all came to the treasure of Famen Temple. There are so many people from Jinyiwei, and the news has not been collected yet. It seems I have to use you!"
Zhu Song changed the subject and said, "Qingshan, tell me what you think?"
"Your Highness, judging from the future, the current situation in the city is very chaotic."
Han Qingshan thought for a while, and said: "Not to mention the situation of Famen Temple, the officers and soldiers in the city alone are very suspicious. I heard that many military officers and soldiers appeared in Fufeng County recently. They are soldiers from the guards of the surrounding counties and counties, and it is said that they came to strengthen the defense of Fufeng County under the order of their superiors, but in fact they are doing the same thing as Baike Banner."
"En!" Zhu Song nodded, and said thoughtfully, "Is there a specific list?"
"Jin Yiwei gave a list of generals, but the names on it are not comprehensive. After all, Commander Ji has not many Jin Yiwei stationed in Fufeng County." Han Qingshan replied.
"That's it!" Zhu Song thought for a while, and said: "Qingshan, now you go and pick out a hundred soldiers from the three hundred soldiers who came to Fufeng County with me, and I want to order them to do something. "
"Yes!" Han Qingshan nodded, he knew that his prince must be holding back some bad idea again.
……
When fifty elite soldiers carefully selected from various guards came out of the main hall of the Qianhu Office in Fufeng County, bitter looks appeared on the faces of all of them.
There is no way, it is really too difficult to complete the order of King Han.
It turned out that Zhu Song asked Han Qingshan to find these one hundred soldiers, not to let them go directly to the underground palace of Famen Temple to steal the relics of Buddha bones, but to let them grab the business of Jinyiwei... as a meticulous work!
