Chapter 350: Certain compensation
After another half an hour, Wang Xun came forward.
Meng Changqing heard in the study, "Zhou Xing, is Mr. Meng in the study?"
"Sir Wang!" Zhou Xing greeted the other party happily, "Yes, you are here. Your Excellency is just about to send me to find you."
When Wang Xun walked in, Meng Changqing stood up and poured tea for him, "Sit down, sit down, thank you. Brother Wang has been busy for two days. The trip went smoothly. Did you find out any news?"
"Let me tell you, people have been dead for several months, what else is there to investigate?" Wang Xun complained to Meng Changqing as soon as he opened his mouth.
Meng Changqing thanked him again and again. Although Wang Xun had a bad temper, he calmed down quickly. He was quickly coaxed to calm down by Meng Changqing and told the news about Song Xiyu and his grandson.
"I went to the state capitals in Liangzhou and Hongzhou, but it took so long that even if there was something hidden inside, it would be difficult to find out now." Wang Xun said: "According to the local county government, those two people should As soon as they arrived in their county, they encountered bandits on the Xilin Road section
When they did the autopsy at that time, the bodies were still fresh, and it was obvious that they died of stab wounds, and apart from the clothes they were wearing, they had nothing else with them.
However, because of the stick wounds on their bodies, it was obvious which official house they had been tried in.
People from the county government said that they reported the matter to the state government at that time. I saw that the county government had archives, but when I asked the Hongzhou government office, the state government said that they had not received any records reported by the county government. , and excused himself by saying that the person working below accidentally lost it.
I asked them again who had lost it, and the answer given by the government office was even more ridiculous. They actually said that the person was no longer in the house and could not be found. ”
When Wang Xun said this, he was laughed at by those people again.
Meng Changqing is not a god. After listening to these few words, he doesn't know who the problem is. He can only accept the information in general and then analyze it step by step.
"Does the local county government have banditry problems?" Meng Changqing asked.
"I also asked about this." Wang Xun took a sip of tea and continued: "It was said that there were a few crackdowns last year and things were much better. But for some reason, this fall, the number of robbers increased again. ”
Meng Changqing knew that robbers were a very useful term, and they could be blamed for anything.
But then I thought about it, those two people were injured and running away. If there were really robbers in the area, it would be easy to target those two people.
What the facts are, it’s hard to tell at this point.
Perhaps Mr. Wei knew that this matter could not be explained or investigated, so he did not speak.
But why did Sun Xiang tell her this?
After further analysis, there are only two possibilities: someone wanted to make a fuss about this matter, and Sun Xiang knew it, and he reminded her out of good intentions; there was someone else behind Sun Xiang, who dug a hole and waited for her to jump into it.
Regardless of the source of the information, just looking at the fact that the two people were hacked to death on the road, the worst frame-up to her was to fabricate evidence to prove that she was the one who killed them, in order to drive a wedge between her and her soldiers. Or accuse her of excessive punishment and disregard of human life.
The point is, who would do such a thing?
Meng Changqing thought about it and couldn't figure it out for a while, but he still sent Wang Xun away with a smile.
After Wang Xun left, Bafang came in to clean up the used teacups on the small round table.
"Master, don't drink this tea. Lai Cai made pear soup. It should be ready by now." Meng Changqing sat on the stool and did not move. It seemed that he did not hear what Bafang said, and even his eyes were fixed on One place.
"Master?" Bafang went over and pushed her.
Meng Changqing frowned, but quickly took another breath, relaxed the expression on his face, turned to Bafang and said: "I won't drink tea anymore. Bring me the soup when it's ready."
"Hey."
After Bafang left, Meng Changqing kept mumbling to herself. It was still the same as before. Since she heard something, she couldn't pretend that she didn't hear it. She investigated the matter and found no results, but she couldn't let it end here.
Since she couldn't investigate further, she had to come up with an attitude.
Immediately, he spread out the paper and started writing.
When Bafang came back with pear soup, Meng Changqing had just written two letters and was sealing them.
When Bafang saw it, he asked, "Why is there no address on this envelope?"
"I was about to trouble you. Go to the information room and get the roster of soldiers. Also, go to the back office cash box and get forty taels. Remember not to take any silver. Take two twenty-tael banknotes."
No one in Bafang understood this series of things, "Do you have any banknotes of such a small denomination in your cash box?"
Meng Changqing thought about it, maybe there really wasn't any, "You may have Lai Cai. Come to my place and get a fifty, and I'll give you two twenty."
When Bafang heard that he could make a profit, Le Dian Dian immediately went out to prepare.
It didn't take long for him to come back with the banknotes and roster.
Bafang saw that the address Meng Changqing checked turned out to be the address of Song Xiyu and Sunzi Xiao's home.
Obviously, the letters and banknotes were intended for their families.
"When did you become so generous? Those two people made a mistake and were driven away. Even if they died on the way back home, it would not be our turn to provide them with compensation." Bafang said, "You wrote a letter and gave money. You are really generous. To save their face, those who didn’t know it thought they died in the line of duty.”
"Do you know what is written in the letter?" Meng Changqing asked him.
Bafang: "You haven't shown it to me, how do I know?"
"I have written down the mistakes they made in the letter, and also informed them that they have been kicked out of the military camp." Meng Changqing wrote the address. "The letter didn't say anything nice. It was just to tell their families why they were killed." Died, where is he buried?"
Meng Changqing clicked on the letter, "This is a warning." Then he looked at the banknotes on the table, "This is my kindness."
"You take this letter to the post office and ask them to send it to the address. Give these two banknotes to Fang He and ask him to go to the bank to exchange them for silver coins and send them to the two houses in person according to the address."
