Chapter 446

When Xia Jin's carriage slowly drove in from the east gate of Yancheng City, Zhang Chao, the magistrate of Yancheng City, who set up the prefectural government office, went to the gate to meet him.

Xia Jin came down from the carriage, and the prosperity and wealth of Yancheng came into sight.

She exchanged greetings with Zhang Chao. At her suggestion, they walked to the prefecture government.

On the way, Zhang Chao, as a governor, introduced Xia Jin to the local conditions and customs of Yancheng.

During the conversation between Zhang Chao and her, some people took the initiative to say hello to Zhang Chao from time to time. Some people even mentioned eggs, fruits, vegetables, meat and other things, intending to give them to Zhang Chao, but they refused.

Xia Jin once suspected that these people were invited by Zhang Chao to play in front of her, but after careful observation, she found that the respect and respect for Zhang Chao revealed by these people's words and deeds was not pretended.

From Zhang Chao's conversation with these people, Xia Jin learned that Zhang Chao had done a lot of practical things for the people, and took out most of his salary to help the poor people in the city.

In the short journey to zhouya, Xia Jin had a good impression on Zhang Chao.

Benevolence and love for the people are the difficulties of the refugees and the worries of the people. They are close to the people as one family.

Parents, take this as an example!

After arriving at the state yamen, Zhang Chao directly invites Xia Jin into the main hall of the state yamen, and the clever maid immediately serves tea. Zhang Chao orders people to take all the documents and evidences related to Chen's case. When things arrive, he holds back all the people in the hall, leaving him alone to face Xia Jin.

"Ai ~"

He puts the files and other things on the table beside Xia Jin, sighs deeply, looks distressed, and his tone is full of strong helplessness

"It has been more than four months since Chen's case was committed. To get to the bottom of the matter, it is just a case of greedy for other people's property, resulting in his own death. If it's an ordinary family, I can immediately investigate it in depth and decide immediately. However, the two people involved in this case have extremely complicated backgrounds, and they are even involved in the royal family, which is not what I can do. "

This is also the reason why Zhang Chao did not wait for Xia Jin to come to meet him in the state yamen, but could not wait to meet him at the gate of the city.

"Involving the royal family?"

Xia Jin eyebrow pick, the original difficulty of this case here.

Zhang Chao nodded and continued

"Chen family is a big family in Yancheng. There is always a clear distinction between the direct branch and the collateral branch, and each has its own affiliation.

But more than four months ago, Chen Ping, the leader of his family, was killed by a flash flood on his way out.

When the news came back, the collateral group headed by Chen an, his second younger brother, was ready to move. They were greedy for the family property, and they used various excuses to make provocations. Finally, they even took people to Chen Ping's house to rob him.

Chen Ping's wife, Chen Liu's, argued, but was injured by the person Chen an took with her. She pressed her foot on her face and insulted her.

Chen Ke, the second son of Chen Ping, was young and angry when he saw his mother being insulted. He took a knife to fight back and killed Chen an on the spot. Later, he killed two of the troublemakers who came with Chen an and wounded six of them... "

After the incident, the prefecture government immediately launched an investigation into the case. However, at the initial stage of collecting evidence and bringing the relevant persons involved in the case to trial, they encountered difficulties.

Chen Liu's family is engaged in the business of medicinal materials. Many years ago, the empress Rou of the palace gave birth to her. Because of her physical condition, she was in critical need of a rare medicinal material in the world.

However, even though it was in the capital city of Di at that time, there was no such medicine in the hands of the world.

Fortunately, Chen Liu's mother's family had this medicinal material. After learning the news, Chen Liu's family went to the palace and offered it to her, and finally saved her life.

When she was grateful, she became a sister to Chen Liu.

There is Chen Keyong in the palace, who has two princesses, a prince, and the empress favored by the emperor. Zhang Chao is afraid to move easily. In this case, he killed three people in succession.

After all, no matter how big the accusation is, once the concubine Rou asks for a favor from the emperor, she can wipe it out.

Moreover, Chen Liu's backstage is far more than that. His eldest son, Chen Keli, holds an important position in the Privy Council and is the red man in front of the prince.

The crown prince is the prince of the dynasty, the future son of heaven. Chen Keli's official career in the future will be boundless, and he can't easily get along with him.

In this case, although his brother killed people, he was forced to fight back. If we want to criticize him, we should not be too harsh.

But if the sentence is light, Chen's side branch is not good.

Chen An's eldest daughter is the wife of Han Xiwen, a general at the edge of the town. She has two sons and one daughter for her and is very popular.

The relationship between Chen An's wife and xuanyuanjing is a distant cousin.

……

After listening to Zhang Chao's story, Xia Jin looks dignified.

The case of Chen Keyong's murder is of a special nature. In addition, in the Eastern Qing Dynasty, the country was ruled by filial piety. Although three lives were involved here, Chen Keyong didn't have to die at all. Instead, he should be imprisoned for several years and at most be sent to the army.

In case of mercy, they can even be released in court.

However, one of the several dignitaries mentioned by Zhang chaofang had to be treated with caution.

Xuanyuanjing, the leader of Mo City!

Xuanyuanjing has a lot of soldiers in his hand, but the situation in the world today is sensitive, and there may be earth shaking changes at any time. If the final judgment of this case makes xuanyuanjing strange

"Mr. Zhang, let's call it a day. I'll go back to the post office to have a detailed understanding of the files and a bunch of evidence. I'll visit again another day for advice."

Heart read heavy miscellaneous, Xia Jin from the seat up, directed Zhang chaogong arched.

Zhang Chao understood that if he wanted to do more practical things for the people, he would have to climb to a higher position.

He loved the people like a son, which was not against his tact in officialdom.

The second grade official is better than the ninth grade official in DIDU.

Knowing the way of officialdom, he immediately got up to see him off.

Xia Jin polite with a few words, then took a side table on the file and blood knife blood clothes and other evidence, left the state Yamen.

After arriving at the post house, Xia Jin enters her room with her front foot. The next moment, Bai Lihong flashes in from the window, falls to the ground in silence, and takes a seat on the wooden stool beside the eight immortals table.

The conditions of the post house were simple. He looked at the overall layout and decoration of the room with disgust. His left hand was casually placed on the table of eight immortals. His index finger and middle finger beat the table rhythmically, and his lips were cold. His words were full of disgust

"This kind of place, in my Youming building, can only be used to make firewood."

"No longer do you look down on the environment here. As the Lord of Youming building, you are not sitting here at the moment!"

Xia Jin heavily put the files and blood knife on the table and glared at him.

After more than ten days of getting along, the relationship between her and bailihong has undergone subtle changes. When we get along, we don't need to be as careful as we were at the beginning.

Bai Lihong chokes on her and is silent for a long time. She finally chooses not to fight with Xia Jin.
