Chicken, duck, fish
Liu Qingping was stripped of his position?
He laughed awkwardly and immediately changed the topic with a smile. "Yunshu, I heard that when you went to the capital, you solved the missing persons case that the Supreme Court and the Ministry of Justice couldn't solve for several months. You also solved the Qujiang General's murder case. Now, you received the Emperor's imperial decree to investigate the 'Lin Capital Case' from fourteen years ago. Yunshu, you're going to be famous, really …"
"Stop." She interrupted him harshly, "Don't worry about me first. I'm asking you now. Why was your official position revoked?"
Liu Qingping didn't want to talk about it at all. He turned his fat body around, and after a while, the back of his hand touched his palm, and he slapped it weakly.
A muffled sound.
He sighed and frowned.
Ji Yunshu pressed, "Tell me, what's going on?"
He said, "Actually, I don't know."
"You don't know? If you didn't do anything wrong, why would the imperial court remove you from your position for no reason? There has to be a reason. "
"Yunshu, you know me. Even if I suffer, I won't let the common people suffer. Why would I make a mistake?" "Not long after you went to the capital, an official document from the imperial court came and removed me from my official position. There was no reason for it, they just said that I was incompetent. I had no choice but to accept it. Not long after, a new official took office, the current county magistrate, Liu Qian. This person used to be a military general on the Yumen Road. He only started to walk the path of officialdom in the past few years. This time, he was transferred here from Liaojiang. As the saying goes, 'a new official makes three changes'. As soon as he arrived, he immediately replaced all the officials in the yamen with his own people. I don't know what he's up to. Moreover, the cases that happened recently were solved in less than two days as soon as they entered the yamen. Their efficiency is very high. Therefore, Jinjiang has been very quiet during this period. Anyway, I'm just an idle person now, playing with the birds every day. I've really become uncorrupted. "
The last word was dragged out!
Liu Qian?
Ji Yunshu did not recognize this person.
Did they say that he was efficient? Ji Yunshu didn't think so. Previously, when the officials came to the memorial hall to arrest people, each of them looked like fiends. It was clear that they wanted to torture Fu Bo into confessing.
Liu Qian's subordinates were no pushovers!
She thought for a moment and said, "There are only two reasons why the Imperial Court removed you from your official position and chose a military general to replace you. One, you made mistakes during your time in office, which resulted in the consequences. Two, you offended someone who secretly sent a letter to the Ministry of Personnel and used his power to suppress it. The Ministry of Personnel had no choice but to issue an official document to remove you."
"What? Offend someone? Who would be so wicked? " Liu Qingping flared up. "Yunshu, you know my temper. Who among us Jinjiang's citizens doesn't think well of me? How did I offend anyone? "
Yes, it's all because of you!
All Daos!
You, Liu Qingping, are a well-known official who loves the people like your own children!
Otherwise, the commoners wouldn't send chickens, ducks, and eggs to your residence during the holidays!
Ji Yunshu also knew in her heart that even if he did something stupid in his daily life, it wouldn't be enough for the imperial court to remove his official rank. Then …
Who was the person who pulled him down from his horse from behind?
"Forget it, I can't explain it now. I came here today for another matter. It's about Fu Bo's case. How much do you know?"
"You're asking about Fu Bo's murder case?"
"It seems like you haven't been idle all day. Tell me, what happened in the end?"
Liu Qingping said in all seriousness, "This case is quite strange. It has been raining for the past few days. Yesterday afternoon, a corpse suddenly rushed out of the forest next to the memorial hall. It was a female corpse in her twenties. The cause of death was that she was raped and then murdered. The female corpse held Fu Bo's belt in her hand. Later, someone came to the yamen and said that he saw Fu Bo burying something in the forest a few days ago. Only then did the yamen conclude that Fu Bo was the murderer."
"What did the coroner say?"
"He said that after the victim was raped, the belt was strangled around her neck and suffocated her to death."
Impossible!
Ji Yunshu didn't believe it. "You and I both know what kind of person Fu Bo is. It's impossible for him to do such a thing."
"That's right, but … but the evidence is there. It's reasonable for the yamen to arrest Fu Bo. Unless we can find evidence to prove that Fu Bo didn't kill her." He immediately leaned forward and asked tentatively, "Yunshu, you purposely came here to ask me about this. Are you planning to take on this case?"
"If Fu Bo was wrongly accused, I can't just stand by and watch. I'll go to the yamen later."
"You should go tomorrow. Liu Qian has said that the case will be heard in court tomorrow. If you really want to help Uncle Fu, you should take advantage of tonight to gather some evidence. If you need my help, I'll be waiting for you."
"Is that female corpse still in the yamen?"
"It should be."
"That's good."
Liu Qingping reminded her, "But you're not a member of the yamen now. It's not right for you to conduct an autopsy."
Ji Yunshu nodded. "I'll think of something."
"So you're not leaving this time?"
She shook her head.
"I'm just passing through Jinjiang. Prince Rong came with me and is currently at the Wei Mansion. There's still a case in Yufu, so we'll go together." She looked out the window and saw that the sky was already dark. "It's getting late. I'll be leaving first. I'll go to the yamen tomorrow."
Liu Qingping was disappointed to hear this.
His eyes widened. "Yunshu, since you're here, why don't you stay for dinner? I've already ordered someone to prepare a table full of chicken, duck, and fish. You can leave after eating."
"There's no need. You should eat less greasy food. It's not good for your health because it's high in cholesterol."
This …
She had already left the hall with her umbrella.
Liu Qingping gazed at her frail figure from afar. His heart ached and he was reluctant to part with her.
His heart was filled with sorrow, but he didn't know that …
His little ear was pulled by someone again.
"Ouch …"
Madam Liu was still fuming. She placed one hand on her waist and said, "All you know is to eat. Once Yunshu comes, you find an excuse to prepare chicken, duck, and fish. I think you have nothing better to do. We don't have much food to feed you now, and you still want to cook? I think you're asking for trouble."
"Madam, I know I'm wrong …"
Ji Yunshu, who had already walked far away, could faintly hear the voice behind her. She couldn't help but smile.
Idiot, still that idiot …
The Wei Mansion.
Jing Rong stood in the corridor under the night sky. His gaze fell on the misty drizzle, and he remained silent.
No one knew what he was thinking.
The heavy rain at night became even more ferocious and showed no signs of abating.
