Chapter 10: Homicide case


   The night sky is like washing, dotted with stars.
   The tallest building in Dafeng, the Guanxing Building, the office of the Sitianjian.
   The girl in the yellow skirt climbed up lightly. When she passed the seventh floor, she heard a loud noise coming from the Dan room.
   A group of alchemists in white, quarreling with red faces.
   "Why failed again? Obviously such a simple step."
   "I said, it must be the wrong dose of salt."
   "No, I think it's water."
   "It's fire? Just now I saw Senior Brother Wan boil the salt."
   "It's too difficult, the alchemy of turning salt into silver is too difficult, I can't."
   The girl in the yellow dress named Caiwei twitched her mouth, and muttered, "These people are still making fake silver."
   Two days ago, she brought back the story of turning salt into silver to Si Tianjian, and the seniors began to believe it.
   Can salt become silver?
   Three-year-old children didn't believe it.
   But soon, the tax and silver case was solved. His Majesty felt that the counterfeit silver was very powerful and quite mysterious, and ordered Qintian Supervisor to refine the counterfeit silver.
   So, the alchemists of the Qin Tianjian started the work of exploding the liver, and devoted themselves to the blessing of 996 day and night.
   From two days ago, until now, he has been defeated and defeated repeatedly.
   "Caiwei, it is Junior Sister Caiwei." Someone shouted excitedly.
  In an instant, the haggard faces turned around, and the eyes suddenly lit up.
   "Sister Caiwei, how did you make this fake silver?"
   "Sister Caiwei, come and help me see if there is a problem with the steps? You are the only one who has successfully refined fake silver."
   surrounded the girls in the yellow skirt.
   Chu Caiwei had to enter the alchemy room to watch the process of refining fake silver by the seniors.
   "Failed again!" a white-clothed alchemist who operated on site lamented.
   "Sister Caiwei, where is the problem?" Zhong Baiyi put on an humbly asking for advice.
There is no problem. I did it in this way. Chu Caiwei pondered: "This is the alchemy passed down in ancient times. It is profound and obscure. It does not mean that it is learned by learning. It requires profound and simple teaching before it can be deeply rooted. I teach. Brothers, please remember this formula."
   The brothers put on a listening posture.
   "Hydrogen, helium, lithium, beryllium, boron, carbon, nitrogen, oxygen, fluorine, neon, sodium, magnesium, aluminum, silicon and phosphorus!" Chu Caiwei was lucky to Dantian, spitting out this amazing formula word by word.
   "This tactic is reconciled?" The brothers are not aware of the strength, and they understand every word, and they are confused when they are combined.
   I don't know what it is... Chu Caiwei pretended to smile deeply.
   "Wizard, wizard, the person who wrote this formula is really a wizard of alchemy." A white-clothed senior said with emotion.
  Where is the wizard, brother, don’t think about it! Chu Caiwei's smile remained unchanged.
   "Sister Caiwei, who told you this formula. Did you meet an expert in alchemy and get some advice?"
   Chu Caiwei said heartily, good question! Throwing the pot out lightly.
   "That person's name is Xu Qi'an, the nephew of Xu Pingzhi in the seventh grade green robe of Yudaoying, you are looking for him."
   When I heard that I was a taker, the white clothes were unhappy.
   "Joke, I'm a superintendent, and I have a lot of talents. Do I need outsiders to refine fake silver?"
   "And I'm still a taker."
   "Isn't it a joke to spread it out."
   According to different practice systems, several very interesting chains of contempt have been formed.
   Daomen look down on Buddhism, but Buddhism despise it.
  The warlock looked down on the wizard, the wizard looked down on the Gu Master, and the Gu Master looked down on the Warlock.
   Then, the Taoist wizard wizard and Gu master looked down on the martial artist together.
   As for Confucianism, I'm sorry, and with all due respect, everyone here is rubbish.
   But modern Confucianism has weakened.
   "Sister Caiwei, come and guide us."
   Plucking ‘Oh’ said: "It must be next time!"
   She forcibly squeezed out of the group of seniors in white clothes, and continued to climb up the steps.
   Actually, she doesn't understand either.
   Last time at the government office, he made fake silver in one go. Afterwards, Cai Wei tried again in private, but failed.
   completely copied the previous process, but it failed, and she didn't know why.
   The roof of the Guanxing Building is not a normal canopy roof, but an octagonal platform, which is in harmony with gossip.
   is therefore called Baguatai.
   On the edge of the Bagua Terrace, an old man in white, lying in front of the case, holding a wine glass in his hand and his head in the other, looking drunk or not, looking at the capital below.
   The girl in the yellow skirt didn't bother me with interest. Master doesn't do business on weekdays, so she likes to sit at the gossip table and drink and watch the scenery.
   I still don’t like being disturbed.
   squinted his eyes and said to concentrate on the world.
   "Is plucking coming?" The old man in white smiled.
   "Master." The girl in the yellow skirt smiled, trotting over, standing on the edge of the gossip, her skirt flying.
   "What reward does the emperor old man have?"
   "A few hundred taels of silver, a few satin pieces." The girl in the yellow skirt said, "Master, what exactly is fake silver?"
   "I don't know how to be a teacher."
   "There are still things in the world that the master doesn't know?"
   "Too much, too much." The white-clothed old man smiled and said, "Master doesn't know where the thieves went 19 years ago."
   "You always say that the little thieves 19 years ago are hateful, but you don't tell me who they are and what they stole."
   The white-clothed old man got up, stood on the edge of the octagonal platform, and sighed, "What I stole is incredible."
   "Then do you know who made the fake silver." Sitianjian is the birthplace of the sorcerer system. Alchemists in the world, even if they are not born as Sitianjian, must have a connection with Sitianjian.
   Behind the tax and silver case, there was an alchemist who participated in it, and he made such a strange thing, which is by no means a general generation.
   "Being a teacher naturally knows."
  ...
   Small courtyard, main house.
   Xu Qi'an was lying on the bed, staring at the criss-cross beams through the bright moon coming through the window.
   He was worried about his future, a little horrified, and a little excited.
   With the high-quality products produced by my nine-year compulsory education, all the knowledge in my mind is hanging.
   can easily stand out in the backward monarchy society and become the most beautiful flower.
   However, a society with the supremacy of imperial power often means that human rights cannot be guaranteed.
   This is a phenomenon that makes any modern person feel sad.
   Thinking about it, Xu Qi'an fell asleep, and when it was bright when he woke up, he wore a black tolerance suit, fastened his belt, tied his long hair, and then hung the Pudao around his waist.
   The body is straight, masculine and handsome.
   I have to admit that ancient clothing has a bonus to appearance and temperament, but it is too troublesome to go to the toilet.
   Over the wall and went to the second uncle's house for breakfast, the uncle and nephew went out to work together, Xu Pingzhiguan resumed his post, everything is as usual.
   Changle County Office is Fuguo County in the capital. The Yamen is in the city, six or seven miles away from Xu’s house. Xu Qi’an has no horses or carriages, so he had to take the No. 11 bus and arrive at the county office in two quarters of an hour.
  Changle County Government sits north and south, and at the door there are two stone lions of the same height. On both sides of the red-brown painted door, there are drums with peeling paint.
   The structure of the county government is worth talking about. The largest is of course the magistrate, called the chief official. He has two deputies, one is the county chief and the other is the chief official.
   These three are high-ranking imperial order officers, and they were established in Xu Qi'an's time.
   Under the three imperial officials, there are classic history, also known as chief officials.
   But there is no grade, not influx.
   Then there are three classes and six rooms: the third class is the soap class, the fast class, and the strong class, responsible for ceremonies, public security, arrests, etc.; and the six rooms correspond to the court six.
   Xu Qi'an is the in the fast squad, and he is called the catch fast.
   entered the yamen, and it happened that the official was at the point. Li Dianshi, who was standing in front of the hall, saw Xu Qi'an with a simple knife on the waist and was taken aback.
   That expression, as if Qingtian saw a ghost in the day.
   The servants noticed that the leader's look was wrong, and they turned their heads to look at them, and then they also had the same expressions.
   "Xu, Xu Qi'an, are you a man or a ghost?!" someone trembled.
   Li Dianshi noticed the shadow cast by Xu Qi'an on the ground, his heart was slightly relieved, and his tone was calm: "What nonsense is said in the courtroom, do ghosts have shadows?"
   Everyone heard the words, Qi Qi breathed a sigh of relief.
   Xu Qi'an thought for a while, then said: "It can't be a walking dead."
   Li Dianshi was shocked, and all the government officials were nervous.
   Xu Qi'an hurriedly clasped his fists: "Just kidding, I have seen Master Dianshi, colleagues, I am out of prison."
   Li Dianshi asked: "What's the matter?"
   Xu's family was imprisoned because of the tax and silver case, they heard about it.
   "Naturally, it is to redeem the merits, to perform the merits, to be tolerant of the saints, and to forgive the guilt of the Xu family." Xu Qi'an immediately repeated the matter, but passed the credit to the second uncle and took out the certificate given by the Jingzhao Mansion.
   At the same time, I also know in my heart. Although the tax bank has been found, the judgment has not been finalized. That is to say, the case of missing tax bank has not been settled. After all, it has to go through the process, not so fast.
   Therefore, the bureaucrats in Changle County still don't know about it.
When    is over, a few familiar catches come up immediately, UU reading www.uukanshu.com congratulations.
   "Ningyan, you can treat yourself to a drink."
  In this era, when you call friends, you don’t use words or names. When introducing yourself, use names without words.
   "Yes, if you don't die in a catastrophe, you will have a blessing, you have to treat."
   "I heard that the Goulan in Linshui Street bought a new batch of clean people, Ning Yan, go with us tonight?"
   It’s okay to entertain guests and drink. The sleeping woman wants me to ask. It’s too much... Xu Qi'an just wanted to shirk and said that he had no money. Suddenly, he stepped on a hard bump under his feet. He looked down and found that it was a grain of silver.
   Is it really a disaster if you don’t die? He immediately stepped on, calmly, pretending to look at the scenery everywhere.
   Waiting for everyone to take a few steps forward, Xu Qi'an quickly lowered his head and picked up the money bag with his face unchanged.
   After walking through the promenade and sitting in the side hall on the west side for a few minutes, Li Dianshi came in with a gloomy face and looked at Wang Catch's head: "Old Wang, the county magistrate let us go to the inner hall."
   Wang Tutou's expression turned bitter, and he went out without saying a word.
   Xu Qi'an watched Wang Datou disappear from the back, and asked: "What's the matter, the boss's face is not very good."
   "You have been in prison for the past few days. There was a murder case in Kangping Street. The man who died was a wealthy merchant. The county magistrate was furious, and every day he caught Wang Shu and cursed him."
   "It's just that a merchant has died, the county magistrate doesn't need to be furious." Xu Qi'an nibble on the seeds.
   Since ancient times, human life has been a major case, but as the magistrate of Fuguo County in the capital, from the fifth grade, it is not like this.
   "Oh, the merchant has a relationship with an adult in the affair. I think it is the pressure from that side." The servant said, "And, this year is the Year of the Boxer."
   "Geng Zi Nian?" Xu Qi'an did not react.
   "Beijing Cha!" The Ya Ya pointed out.
