Nan Huairen's assassination and death was like pouring a ladle of cold water into a pan full of boiling oil and emitting green smoke, causing the seemingly calm situation in the capital to explode with a bang!
Everyone knows that Nan Huairen was convicted by Oboi because of the calendar dispute, and that his companion Tang Ruowang died in the prison. Luckily, only one of them stayed in the capital temporarily due to illness; at the same time, because of the dispute over the calendar, Nan Huairen greatly offended Yang Guangxian, the chief inspector of the Qintian Supervisor, and Wu Mingxuan, the deputy supervisor, and forged a mortal feud! Right now, these two masters are living happily under the protection of Aobai's wings. The case of Nan Huairen's assassination, even if they don't want to become complicated and sensitive, can't do it.
Compared with the background of the case, the case itself is not complicated at all. It was just past noon on the 21st day of the twelfth lunar month in the sixth year of Qingkang Mazi, and it was almost the same time when Fatty Lu was just fished out of the pond in Suofu garden. , because Nan Huairen didn't come out to eat, Li Fugui, a handyman who was helping in the Xuanwumen Church, ran to Nan Huairen's room under the observatory to call him, but Li Fugui called him at the door for a long time, but Nan Huairen didn't agree , Li Fugui saw that the door of the room was ajar again, so he opened the door and went in. He saw Nan Huairen lying on his back on the bed, covered with a quilt, as if he was fast asleep. Li Fugui went to the bedside and yelled again, but Nan Huairen still refused to move. When Li Fugui went to shake his body again, he realized that Nan Huairen's body was freezing and cold, completely frozen.
Shocked, Li Fugui yelled and rushed out to call people. As a result, a large group of believers and priests rushed into Nan Huairen's room, and then lifted Nan Huairen's quilt for a while. When I looked at it, I realized that priest Nanhuairennan, a loyal child of God, a devout follower of Jesus, a good son of the European people, a good friend of the people of Luocha Kingdom, and a good teacher of Emperor Kangxi, has been called by the Lord and will be forever Leaving this filthy secular world¡ªto be precise, there was a dagger stuck in the vest of Priest Nan, and he was killed by a knife in the heart.
Such a big incident happened, of course the people in the church had to report the case to the government, so that the government could arrest the murderer, and coincidentally, the current Governor of Shuntian was none other than Fatty Lu¡¯s good friend Lin Tianqing, Master Lin in Yunnan. Li Tianyu, a contender for the position of governor! In this way, the matter inevitably became a little more complicated, because when Li Tianyu led the autopsy and investigation of the case with the yamen servant and Wu Zuo, he found that Nan Huairen had received two waves of guests on the first day. In addition to the mysterious guest who was headed by a little pockmark, there was also a wave of Zhishi governor Lin Tianqing and a seventh-rank sesame official named Lu.
In this way, it is difficult not to hear Li Tianyu, who is about to be promoted and grab Lin Tianqing's job, not to murmur in his heart¡ªcouldn't that old bastard Lin Tianqing intentionally make this matter disgusting to me? Nan Huairen happened on the ground that I was in charge of, and his status was very special. Could it be that the old man wanted me to be accused of being incompetent and ineffective in governing the situation, and ruin my promotion to the governor of Yunnan, right?
Fortunately, Wu Zuo's autopsy results diverted poor Master Lin's suspicion. During the autopsy, Wu Zuo found that there was no wound on Nan Huairen's body except for the fatal knife. A guard's badge from Ao Bai'ao's Zhongtang Mansion was found¡ªanalyzed from the location where the knife was inserted, priest Nan probably tore it from the murderer when he was stabbed in the back with his mouth covered. Maybe he didn't realize it in the rush, so he just moved the corpse of Nan Huairen to the bed, covered it with a quilt to pretend to be sleeping, so that the people in the church could not quickly find out that Nan Huairen was dead, so as to gain time to escape.
After coming to this conclusion and seeing this waist badge, Lord Li was completely dumbfounded. He hurriedly ordered the government officials to protect the scene and arrest suspicious suspects, and personally brought this waist badge to the palace to report¡ª¡ª There was no way, as Kang Mazi's confidant, Li Tianyu knew some inside information, and knew that Kang Mazi trusted and valued Nan Huairen extremely. Li Tianyu, who was about to be promoted to governor of Yunnan, would be a fool if he didn't report to Kang Mazi and ask for instructions.
The result was very natural. After hearing the news, Kang Mazi inevitably became furious, and ordered Li Tianyu to find out the murderer within three days, bring the real murderer to justice, and avenge his Western teacher. Li Tianyu said tremblingly: "Your Majesty, it's not that this slave doesn't try his best, it's just that this case is so special that it has already been involved in Ao Bai's Ao Zhongtang's house. If the slave wants to investigate the case, he must pass the test of Ao Zhongtang." ah."
"No matter who is involved, you have to investigate for me!" Xiao Mazi slapped the dragon case and roared.
"Thatthat slave is bold." Li Tianyu trembled, Lin Tianqing said happily again with a smile on his face: "There is another good thing. The old man just heard the news that Li Tianyu was beaten in front of the emperor! Yesterday we went to visit the priest of Nanhuairennan, and I don't know who was caught in the church. He was assassinated, and a badge of a guard of the Aozhong Hall was found on the body. The case is extremely complicated. Li Tianyu happens to be the current Governor of Shuntian Prefecture. He should be in charge of this case. This old boy, I am afraid that he is already in the Cry your nose!"
"Hey, it turns out that the current Governor of Shuntian Mansion is Li Tianyu. Lin Tianqing is really lucky." Fatty Lu sneered in his heart, but said in surprise on his face, "What? Father Nan was killed? Who did it? ?¡±
"How do I know?" Lin Tianqing shrugged his shoulders, and then said with a smile: "Master Lu, if you are not in his position, don't seek a position. This matter has nothing to do with us, so let's ignore him. Anyway, this time, it is enough for Li That kid from Tianyu has drunk a pot, he wants to be the governor of Yunnan, in his next life!"
"Why is it none of our business?" Fatty Lu said in a hurry, "Father Nan is dead, what about my English version of "Elements of Geometry"?"
"Lord Lu, what are you in a hurry for? He is not the only Western missionary in the Qing Dynasty!" Lin Tianqing patted his chest and said, "Don't worry, Master Lu, as long as the old man can get his wish and serve as the governor of Yunnan again, I will definitely help you get a set of English missionaries." This version of "Elements of Geometry" is for you to fulfill your long-cherished wish!"
"But, why did Father Nan die?" Fatty Lu frowned, sighed again, and said, "Forget it, let's talk about it slowly. Tomorrow, I will ask someone to buy some money for paper candles and incense, and go to his grave to pay homage. I'll ask you later." After finishing speaking, Fatty Lu sighed again, and then said: "Master Lin, I have invited you here because I have some good news to tell, the emperor has issued an order to summon me tomorrow. "
"Really? Congratulations to Mr. Lu!" Lin Tianqing was overjoyed, and couldn't wait to say: "Master Lu, what about the old man? The emperor appreciates you so much. When you meet the emperor tomorrow, how do you plan to recommend him to the emperor?" old man?"
"I have already thought about the solution." Fatty Lu said seriously: "I have invited Lord Lin over tonight, just to ask Lord Lin one last time, have you made up your mind? You plan to sacrifice Prince Pingxi's military salary in exchange for your Yunnan The position of governor, this step is going forward, but once the bow is fired, there will be no turning back!"
"Lord Lu, there is no one else here, so let me tell you something from your heart." Lin Tianqing gritted his teeth and said, "Prince Pingxi and Prince Pingxi are really kind to this old man, but they are just princes, not emperors. There is a way to change the decision made by the emperor! As for the old man, he will be sixty next year. If he misses this opportunity, he will never have a chance to come back in this life. Prince Wang once."
"However, as you said, Master Lu, this old man wants to please the emperor and not offend Prince Pingxi, so this old man will follow your instructions and report to the emperor that the minimum salary of Prince Pingxi is 3.5 million. Two grains of silver¡ªthis point, Lord Lu, please rest assured that this old man, no matter whether it caused the loss of Prince Pingxi¡¯s military salary or not, the old man has also done something against the Lord, and the emperor will never let the old man go In the future, I will definitely force the old man to do countless things to offend the lord. This old man is very clear in his heart!"
"In this way, the old man's handle is in your hands, Mr. Lu, so you can rest assured, Mr. Lu, that the old man will never sell you. And so, Mr. Lu, the old man also hopes that you can do your best to help the old man get it. After this position is completed, this old man will never treat you badly."
"Since my lord has made up my mind, I understand the humble position." Fatty Lu nodded, and said solemnly: "Master Lin, please rest assured that if you get the post of governor of Yunnan as you wish, the humble position will work under you. Life will be easier, and I will do my best."
"Then, please!" Lin Tianqing was overjoyed and clasped his fists at Fatty Lu.
Fatty Lu returned the salute, and said: "Master Lin, you can just wait for the good news, the humble job is ready, and there will be news within a few days."
Lin Tianqing was even more delighted, and had a long private discussion with Fatty Lu before he got up to say goodbye and went back to his room to rest. But after Lin Tianqing left, Fatty Lu didn't rush to call Xiao Erlang, who was eating wind and snow outside, to wait for his dog legs to enter the room, but got up and pushed open the door of the inner room. smile.
