Chapter 330 Helper
Guo Xiong was stunned, staring at Xu Huaiyi. He almost wanted to stand up and run out immediately.
It's terrible. It's like a trap. Otherwise, why would everything be so logical?
Guo Xiong said: "How...how do you know, sir?"
Xu Huaiyi said calmly: "The Feng brothers and sisters came to Beijing to complain, and they also want to beat the drum. There are many cases in Bianjing that have resulted in human lives, but not many Feng brothers and sisters came to complain."
"I have read all the cases in Bianjing in recent years, and I have some impressions about them."
There is no impression here, I clearly remember it clearly.
"I also know something about the conflict on the Bian River you mentioned. You didn't tie the sticks with cloth from the beginning. You only did so after you were framed and beaten."
"You said you are looking for the Feng brothers and sisters. I believe it is true to save Feng Erniang," Xu Huaiyi raised his eyes and looked at Guo Xiong, "But... have you really never transported spices?"
Guo Xiong is a person who has seen big scenes. If he was timid, he would not make a living on Bianshui River. Anyone else would have looked ugly when seeing Xu Huaiyi's power.
Xu Huaiyi was interrogating cases in Dali Temple and the Ministry of Punishment, with a solemn expression. When talking to him, it always seemed to be somewhat interrogated and cross-examined.
Makes people nervous involuntarily.
Guo Xiong was panicking, but luckily he calmed down the expression on his face. However, he thought for a long time before nodding: "I was lucky once."
As he spoke, he hurriedly said: "It's just a small amount, I only made two hundred cents."
Xu Huaiyi's eyes softened slightly.
Guo Xiong pursed his lips before asking again: "Sir...how do you know?"
Xu Huaiyi said: "Since I want to lure you into taking the bait, I naturally have to throw out some bait first. If you don't really get the benefits, you won't be fooled." Only when Guo Xiong admitted this matter did he believe what Guo Xiong said.
"How many spices have been transported and how much money have been taken must be clearly stated. If there is any stolen goods, please hand it over to the Yamen."
The spices had naturally been sold a long time ago, but it was not difficult to replenish them. Guo Xiong was glad that he had found Mr. Xu, otherwise he would really have no way of turning back.
Guo Xiong said: "The man asked us to meet in two days. Now it's been one day. It's time to go find him tomorrow."
"Then you go," Xu Huaiyi said, "but before that, you have to go through the paperwork with me and leave the case file."
With the case and documents, handing over the spices and five taels of silver together is equivalent to having evidence. Unless Master Xu colludes with those people, no one can accuse them.
Xu Huaiyi took Guo Xiong to the government office. For the past two days, the Criminal Department was busy with cases in Daming Mansion. Many people came in and out every day, so no one noticed Guo Xiong's situation.
Guo Xiong deliberately lowered his head, and Xu Huaiyi opened the way, and he met the civil servant smoothly.
After writing the paperwork and signing the pledge in front of the clerk, Guo Xiong's heart finally fell.
The two of them returned to Xu Huaiyi's yard all the way, and Guo Xiong couldn't help but ask about the Feng family's case: "Your Excellency, after seeing the Feng family's case, do you think there is anything fishy in it?"
A good cloth shop suddenly lost a large sum of money, and the owner was forced to commit suicide. Old man Feng is a good man. When he made an appointment with his father for his second brother's marriage, he was just a street vendor. Later, when he became rich, he did not deny his family ties. That's why they wanted to help when something happened to the Feng family. .
Xu Huaiyi was silent for a moment and said: "I only read the case and never tried the case myself, so I can't make a conclusion." He can make guesses when investigating a case, but he cannot reveal the unconfirmed results to others.
Guo Xiong was a little disappointed. It would be great if Master Xu could be asked to try the Feng family's case together. Maybe Feng Erniang could get away with it.
The two people were talking when they heard a knock at the door.
"Is Brother Xu here?"
Hearing this familiar sound, Xu Huaiyi knew who it was. Cai Zheng of Dali Temple.
Xu Huaiyi nodded to Guo Xiong, indicating that it was okay, then ordered someone to open the door, and went to the door to greet him.
When the door opened, he saw Cai Zheng, who looked a little haggard. Without waiting for Xu Huaiyi to speak, Cai Zheng entered the door familiarly, turned around and locked the door again, shaking the food in his hand.
"I stayed up all day and all night before walking out of the office. I couldn't sleep when I got home, so I decided to have a drink with you. I won't talk about business today and will just drink."
Cai Zheng dragged Xu Huaiyi into the house, and then he discovered that there was another person in the house. He was stunned there: "This is..."
Before Xu Huaiyi could speak, Cai Zheng looked apologetic: "I don't know if you still have people here, so I'll come back another day and leave these for you. My mother at home doesn't allow me to drink, and she will beat me and scold me if she sees it."
After saying that, he put down his things and walked out.
How could Xu Huaiyi let Cai Zheng go out like this? He grabbed him and said, "We've already finished talking. Just wait."
Cai Zheng obviously didn't believe it and was afraid that Xu Huaiyi would be in trouble.
Xu Huaiyi knew Cai Zheng's temper and did not hide it immediately: "He came to report to the government and wrote a lawsuit at the government office. He has other things to go back to arrange now."
Please...you...Collect_6Ⅰ9ⅠBookⅠ(Six\\\Nine\\\Book\\\!)
He said and looked at Guo Xiong: "I will give you a name card. If there is news over there, come to the government office immediately with the name card."
Guo Xiong responded and immediately saluted Xu Huaiyi and Cai Zheng.
After Guo Xiong left, Cai Zheng looked at Xu Huaiyi: "What do you mean? It doesn't sound like an ordinary case. Why do you need to arrange it in advance?"
"Even if someone is arrested, it won't be the Ministry of Punishment's turn. They can just file the case with the county government."
Xu Huaiyi sat down with Cai Zheng and then said: "If we really go to the county government, this case will be over."
Cai Zheng frowned: "Do you suspect that someone tipped you off? What kind of case is this...?"
Having said this, Xu Huaiyi told the whole story: "It's about Bianshui River."
Xu Huaiyi explained what Guo Xiong said in detail.
Cai Zheng said with a deep expression: "They are becoming more and more unconcealed. How many cases have been pointed at those four families in the past two years? Some even caused deaths. Now Bianshui River is simply a place harboring filth and evil."
Xu Huaiyi had known about what happened on Bianshui River for a long time, but he had no evidence in his hand, so Guo Xiong came to visit him, and he decided to let Guo Xiong continue the drama to see who in the government office was colluding with the merchants.
"There are also problems with the Feng family's case," Xu Huaiyi told Cai Zheng the Feng family's case files, "Maybe we can solve them together."
Cai Zheng said: "Then Feng Erniang became a nvqi? I have an informant in Wazi, so I can ask him to check it out."
Xu Huaiyi looked at Cai Zheng: "You came to drink with me, but now I want you to help."
"I have been eyeing those people for a long time, and I am worried that I have nowhere to start. Now that I have this opportunity, I cannot miss it. If I can find out who is behind these families, I will find out all the cases in Dali Temple for many years. , we must not let him escape easily.”
Having said this, Cai Zheng was silent for a moment, showing some worry: "You have to be more careful. Once this kind of thing is leaked, I'm afraid someone will do something bad to you."
Xu Huaiyi is not afraid of this: "I hope to solve all the cases in Bianshui at once."
Even though Guo Xiong was there as bait now, something was still missing.
