Chapter 9 Silla's Maid Poisoning and Stealing Gold

The east wing of the county government office.

County Magistrate Xu Jingzong was wearing a silver talisman in a blazing robe. He was just listening to the report from his followers. When he heard that Qin Lang summoned officials such as the Dharma Cao, the bad general and others, and even directly gave twenty taels of gold to the people below for tea, he couldn't help but be amazed.

"This Qin Sanlang is really unconventional."

The follower said, "Alang, I think he is a playboy. He thought he would throw some gold, so an old official like Wei Chang would bow his head to his ears? He was too young, so Wei Chang doesn't even respect you, the county magistrate."

"Young people act unconventional. Just by spending a lot of money, you can see that Qin Sanlang has the style of a general of his father. Not to mention, this kid might be able to make some trouble." Xu Jingzong laughed.

Chang'an City is full of turtles. Even if it is a small county government, it is still complicated by various forces.

Everyone is the King of Qin, and Gao Shilian specifically instructs him to take good care of him, so Xu Jingzong will still take good care of this kid.

"Shouzhong, what are the important cases in the county now?"

"Yesterday, a slave in Guo Yi'an's mansion, the Ministry of Rites of Huaiyuanfang, poisoned the owner and stole more than a dozen gold and silverware. His whereabouts are still unknown."

Xu Jingzong nodded. This was a major case in recent days. However, a slave dared to poison the master and steal gold and silver utensils and escape from the hidden danger. Yongzhou Prefecture has issued an order to Chang'an County to solve the case within a time limit and catch the thieves.

"This matter was left to Li Facao and Wei Chang before, and there is no clue yet."

Xu Jingzong smiled, "Then transfer the case to Qin Sanlang and let him be responsible for supervising it. Just say that Yongzhou Prefecture is urging him to help him solve the case three days."

"Alang, Li Facao and Wei Chang have no clue at all. I'm afraid Qin Sanlang is helpless, right?"

Xu Jingzong held the teacup and said, "Qin Sanlang is full of energy. We have to give him some chance. If you don't try it, how can you know whether it's OK or not!"

······

The law-cao Li Kai and the bad general Wei Chang acted very quickly. The gold Qin Lang gave them was immediately transferred to money and silk, and then distributed them all to the clerks and servants below.

As soon as the new official took office, he generously gave money and rewards. The servants below all increased their favor towards Qin Lang, the new boss. After receiving the money and silk, they all came to thank him.

Qin Lang sat in the corridor and watched group of people coming over, reporting his names, crossing his hands to thank him, feeling good.

He also discovered that Chang'an County is worthy of being a Beijing county that manages half of Chang'an City, with a large number of people. For the Dharma Catholics alone, there are more than 100 bad people in the work, and there are more than 100 varied servants such as Bai Zhi, holding clothes, tyrants, and strong men.

Dharma Cao is only one of the six Caos.

Among these nearly 300 people, there are not yet any bad people who are not included in the non-staff gangs, informants, etc.

The main responsibility of the law master is to be judicial and arrest theft and public security of the criminal prison. Therefore, the number of yamen runners under the law master is large. Not only are there more than 100 bad people often assigned, but there are also Bai Zhishi who is responsible for patrols, Bai Zhishi who is responsible for guarding the prison, and Bai Zhishi who is responsible for interrogation stations and executions.

There is also a female class here, who are specifically responsible for the female prison in Chang'an County prison.

Fa Cao Li Demo smiled and led six people over.

Two young men in their thirteen or fourteen years old, and four young men in their early twenties.

"Shaofu, these are the two robes and four scattered white straights that I have pulled for you."

The Tang Dynasty was a good son who was not a lowly family. He was a middle-aged man from the age of 11 to 21. He needed to go to the local government to serve officials for four months and handle the internal affairs of the officials. Therefore, this is called a silly family. To put it bluntly, it is equivalent to a serviceman.

Thinking about Qin Qiong’s good brother Luo Shixin, he started his business by making Zhang Xutuo’s clothes, while Qin Qiong started his business by Lai Huer’s account.

Bai Zhi was an adult good son and was on the turn of duty to serve in the yamen. However, their labor service did not belong to the official service of Yao as stipulated by the court, so it was also called Seifu or Miyao.

Just from the eighth-rank official, there were six free laborers, and the treatment of this official was indeed good.

"Shaofu, there is a tough case. Xu Mingfu ordered me to hand it over to the Shaofu for supervision and solve the case within three days."

"What case?"

Qin Lang was a little excited when he had an important case as soon as he took office.

"It's a blessing that Wei Zheng told the Shaofu in detail." Although Li Kai had been a legal chief for two years, as a general, he actually didn't care much about specific affairs, which was also a common situation when many noble families first took office. He lacked experience, so he was easily undermined.

"Reported to the Shaofu, Guo Yian, the Minister of Rites, reported the case, saying that the maid in the mansion poisoned the owner and stole gold and silver tools and ran away."

"Then catch it."

"But we searched for a long time and found that this maid seemed to have disappeared suddenly." Wei Chang said.

Qin Lang smiled, "Don't it be said that bad people are spread in Chang'an City, and their eyeliners are spreading everywhere in every corner of the 108 yards?"

"This rumor is an exaggeration. We are just a few servants, so we have no such ability to do so. Shaofu, not only Xu Mingfu urged this case, but also Yongzhoufu urged it urgently. I also asked the Shaofu to instruct how to investigate." Wei Chang looked at Qin Lang and said.

He was obviously the most professional and poor handsome man with rich experience, but now he asked Qin Lang this way, making it clear that he wanted to take the opportunity to make things difficult for Qin Lang.

It seems that the ten taels of gold really have little effect.

Qin Lang remained silent. In fact, before entering the Chang'an County Government, he was already thinking about something.

That is, he had completely stood on Li Shimin's side, and even offended his father Qin Qiong, and the Xuanwu Gate Incident only took three days.

History tells Qin Lang that the winner in the end is Li Shimin, who is currently at a disadvantage. Even if he does nothing in these three days, he will eventually become the winner and follow one person to the heavens.

But this is not enough. Lao Matou has already told him that as Qin Qiong's concubine son, no matter how high Qin Qiong's official title or property is, it has nothing to do with him. The eldest son can inherit the title and the great official, and even the future will be immense, and other legitimate sons will have a good future.

But even if the son of a prince has no future, even if he does not have any real skills in his life, he will be at most a sixth or seventh rank captain, or a county lieutenant, or a military officer, or the like.

He seized the opportunity now and became a county lieutenant. It can be said that he has already had a very high starting point, and may even be the pinnacle of many concubines for their entire lives, but Qin Lang was not satisfied.

It is very important to use these three days, how to use the current position of Chang'an County Magistrate, and do something, and to help Li Shimin hard when he is the weakest.

As long as you stand at this vent, even a pig can fly into the sky. Even a concubine's son will have the chance to soar into the sky.

The judiciary he ordered was only 200 to 300 people, and the bad guys were a group of people with extremely wild and powerful means. If they were used well, they would be an important help.

However, he was young and came to serve as a county magistrate at the age of sixteen. A treacherous and sly official such as Wei Chang may not be willing to submit to him, nor may he be willing to be controlled and mobilized.

Just like now, Wei Chang has directly asked himself a difficult problem.

If you don’t show your skills, you probably will be despised or even underestimated by this veteran in the future.

"Give all the files of this case immediately, I want to review the cases!"

Qin Lang did not refuse.

"Shaofu, half of the time has passed, and it is probably too late to read the file now, and the file has not recorded much useful information." Wei Chang laughed.

"That's not necessarily. Every piece of information is useful, and the more information you summarize, the more useful things can be extracted. Many times, a little clue is actually revealing the truth of the case to us. This is a big case technique!"

"Major case art?" Wei Chang was surprised. As a bad coach, he had rich experience and had handled countless major cases. He relied on decades of experience and intuition, and his group of bad guys and brothers were not sitting in the house to read some archives and letters.

"Wei Shuai, why not wait and see?"

"Okay, I'll send all the records and evidence related to this case." Wei Chang smiled, looking like he wanted to watch the show.

A moment later, a few things were already placed on Qin Lang's public room table.

Because of the short time, the records are actually very limited, which mainly involves some records made by bad people in the Guo Mansion.

Qin Lang looked through it all, and after a while, he finished reading it, and he had a general understanding of this case.

Guo Yian is a member of the Ministry of Rites and a sixth-rank official. However, his family is a family of officials. He has a large mansion in Chang'an and many slaves in the house. Among them is a young and beautiful maid from Silla, named Yusu. Because this Silla maid is too beautiful and very gentle, it is deeply favored by Guo Yuanwai. Not only is he taken over by him, she even arranged for her to manage her own warehouse where gold and silver. Even when she is hungry at night, Guo Yuanwai never lets others cook, but only eat Yusu's midnight snack.

The night before yesterday, Guo Yuanwai asked Yu Su to cook porridge for him as usual, but Yu Su took the opportunity to poison the porridge. Guo Yuanwai got poison on the spot after drinking it. Fortunately, he immediately struggled and called, and the people in the mansion hurriedly fed him feces and induced vomiting, which allowed him to escape from death.

But in the midst of the turmoil, Yusu disappeared, and even the golden and silver cakes in Guo Yuanwai's small vault disappeared.

Guo Yuanwai reported the case, Yongzhou Prefecture ordered Chang'an, and Wannian County all made every effort to collect Yusu.

"Shaofu, Chang'an and Wannian counties have both received orders in this case. Whoever gets the person first will have to suppress the other party."

Chang'an and Wannian counties are both in Chang'an City, one in the east and the other in the west. Therefore, the two counties handle this case together, so naturally, whoever gets the light on his face first is also a secret contest between the two counties.
