Chapter 315 Found some things
Since Shan Li started working at the Ministry of War, he has been very diligent every day.
There was no phenomenon of being late or leaving early.
This meant that anyone who wanted to laugh at him didn't find a suitable opportunity.
However, today, after Shan Li met a man who looked like a servant, he asked for leave early and went back.
This finally gave those who wanted to cause trouble an opportunity.
Qiu Jincheng, who was also the commander of the Ministry of War, took the opportunity to say, "Shan Zhangling, are you leaving? But it's not time to go off duty yet, is it?"
Qiu Jincheng originally thought that he could take charge of both the Siyu and Siku.
There were precedents when the Ministry of War was short of manpower before. However, Shan Li suddenly came to the Ministry of War and directly became the treasurer. How could Qiu Jincheng not hate him?
It's just that I never found the opportunity.
"Captain Qiu, there are some matters at home that need to be dealt with. Shan will ask for leave from the Minister." Shan Li did not want to get entangled with Qiu Jincheng, so he left after saying this.
However, Qiu Jincheng took two steps forward and stopped him directly, saying with a fake smile, "That's wrong, Single Chief. You and I are both Chiefs, in charge of things in one area. If you leave now, where can we find you if something happens later?"
"Or is it that Shan Zhangling is relying on the power of the General's Mansion and is just holding a position in the Ministry of War as a formality?" After saying this, Qiu Jincheng looked at the other people.
As if looking for an ally.
Many people caught Qiu Jincheng's gaze and expressed their agreement.
Shan Li's position was filled by parachuting.
Qiu Jincheng is not the only one eyeing his position.
There was another person with more experience in the Ministry of War who was also eyeing this position. However, he never expected that it would end up in Shan Li's hands.
Overtly or covertly, these people are unwilling to accept the result.
It's so hard to find someone who can speak up, so naturally they'll follow suit and say a few words.
"Whether Shan is just a formality, you will make your own judgment." Shan Li looked around and stared at these people. After saying this, he ignored them.
When he passed Qiu Jincheng, he deliberately bumped into him.
It directly knocked Qiu Jincheng so hard that he staggered.
Qiu Jincheng looked at Shan Li's departing back, feeling angry and furious! He pointed in the direction he left, unable to speak for a long time.
The onlookers originally thought they could do something, but who knew they didn't even have a chance to play. They all dispersed.
In Shan Li's eyes, Qiu Jincheng's difficulties were too trivial.
It's not worth his concern at all.
When Shan Li returned to the general's mansion, Li had already been persuaded to leave by Song Qingci.
"Why did you come back so early today?" Song Qingci was very surprised when he saw him.
Since he took the job, he always gets home after dark every day. How come he is back just after noon?
"I heard about the incident at the Moon Viewing Tower, so I asked for leave to come back and take a look." The servant who brought him the message was the one he left in the mansion to pass on messages for him.
"Have you sent anyone to investigate?" Shan Li asked directly.
"I've asked Feng Yi to check, but he hasn't come back yet." Song Qingci was not panicking, "Lord Zhang of Jingzhao Prefecture has sent a message that Manager Zheng and Song Xin will be fine for now. Let's wait until Feng Yi comes back."
Seeing that Song Qingci was calm, Shan Li felt relieved.
In this kind of situation, he was afraid that A Ci would lose his balance, so he took leave and came back early.
While Feng Yi was still here, Song Qingci told Shan Li everything that Li had said.
Just as he finished speaking, Feng Yi came back.
"How is it? What information did you find out?" Shan Li asked.
"Reporting to the master, I have found out that the first person to file a complaint in Jingzhao Prefecture was the owner of Xiaohuilou and a man named Wang Lei. His wife was a worker in our Liangpi shop. She is now dead. The body is still in Jingzhao Prefecture and is being examined by the coroner. Wang Lei sued Shangyuelou for stealing the recipe of Liangpi and forcing his wife to death."
"What was the cause of death?" Song Qingci was more concerned about this.
"He died from a cut throat." Feng Yi went to see the body himself, and it was indeed a cut throat. The wound was bloody and horrifying.
"Did you only mention the recipe for cold noodles?" "Didn't Li also mention the recipe for spicy hot pot?"
"Not only that, according to Wang Lei, his wife Wang Zhang is very good at making food. She had previously figured out a secret recipe for spicy hot pot, but was lured by Shopkeeper Zheng at a very low price. They were insignificant and could not afford to offend Shopkeeper Zheng. So they thought of giving up. Recently, Wang Zhang figured out a recipe for cold noodles. Shopkeeper Zheng knew about this again, so he wanted to use the same trick again. Wang Zhang and Wang Lei were on guard, so Shopkeeper Zheng did not succeed."
"Later, according to him, Shopkeeper Zheng changed his approach and arranged for Wang Zhangshi to work in the Liangpi shop, and said that she could take 50% of the income from the Liangpi shop. Wang Zhangshi and Wang Lei believed it. Wang Zhangshi worked in the Liangpi shop and gave the secret recipe of making Liangpi to Shopkeeper Zheng."
"But when it came time to divide the profits in the first month, Shopkeeper Zheng changed his mind. Not only did he not want to give 50% of the shop's profits, he also wanted to drive Wang Zhang away. Wang Zhang was naturally unwilling to do so, so Shopkeeper Zheng became malicious and hacked Wang Zhang to death with a knife from the shop."
"Wang Lei said that he was delayed by something and was not with his wife, so he escaped. That's when he had the opportunity to report the case to Jingzhao Yin."
Feng Yi told everything he had found out in one breath.
"Have you checked this Wang Lei?" Shan Li believed in Feng Yi's ability.
"Reporting to the master, Wang Lei is a refugee who fled from the northwest ten years ago. His wife, Wang Zhang, was married to him after he arrived in the capital. In these years, Wang Lei has been idle and almost relied on Wang Zhang to work everywhere to earn money to support him. As for Wang Lei's origin, it is too short and it is impossible to find out, but I have sent a pigeon to the Fengxue Tower branch in the northwest to ask them to help verify it."
"Then how is this matter related to Xiaohui Building?" Song Qingci asked.
If she remembered correctly, it was the people from Xiaohuilou who went to Jingzhao Prefecture to file the complaint.
"Madam, this is what happened. After Wang Lei learned that his wife had died, he was scared and wanted to leave. He accidentally met the shopkeeper of Xiaohuilou. The shopkeeper of Xiaohuilou learned about his situation and wanted to make a decision for him. Therefore, the shopkeeper of Xiaohuilou filed the lawsuit on behalf of Wang Lei."
"What do you think?" Shan Li looked at Song Qingci. Feng Yi had done his best to find out so much in such a short time.
