Chapter 67: Tianliang Lake Murder Case
Along the way, nothing happened that made Changle worry.
It was evening when Qin Wenyuan and his team finally arrived in Kailin County.
The financier who placed the order was named Li Sheng, a well-known wealthy businessman in the area.
They arrived at Li's residence exhausted and saw that Li Sheng had already called over a dozen servants to wait there.
As soon as he saw Qin Wenyuan arrive, Li Sheng stepped forward and said with a smile: "Oh, Boss Qin, you are finally here. You have worked hard on the way."
Qin Wenyuan smiled and bowed, "It's not a hardship. It's all thanks to Boss Li that my Changyuan Tea Shop business has been able to move to a higher level and not go bankrupt."
Hearing this, Li Sheng rolled his eyes and said, "Boss Qin, you are too modest. In this Chang'an area, as long as you are doing business, everyone knows the name of your Changyuan Tea Shop."
"With his own efforts, he has made the declining tea ceremony a new path of his own, and even made tea, which was not valued before, enter everyone's field of vision again."
"This ability won't let you go bankrupt."
"After all, even the tea used in my Li residence, which is far outside Chang'an City, is from your family."
"Liao Zan, Liao Zan." Qin Wenyuan still smiled and bowed.
The two of them pretended to be nice to each other again, and Li Sheng began to invite Qin Wenyuan and others to stay and rest.
Because it was indeed too late, Qin Wenyuan did not refuse and agreed directly.
Then, the group entered the mansion, and Qin Wenyuan saw an unexpected person.
"Examiner Liu Wen?"
The man was also startled. He turned around and saw Qin Wenyuan, who had refreshed his worldview three days ago.
"Mr. Qin...Mr. Qin, why are you here?" Liu Wen said stiffly.
I guess he felt a little restrained because he was facing such a talented person that even Wei Zheng had to treat him with caution.
"Husband, do you know him?" Changle raised her eyebrows.
Qin Wenyuan smiled and nodded, "Yes, ma'am, this is the examiner Liu Wen from my area during the imperial examination."
"Examiner Liu Wen, this is my wife, Li Changle."
"Examiner Liu Wen, thank you for your care for my husband these days." Changle bowed.
Liu Wen glanced at Changle, and was immediately frightened by Changle's extraordinary temperament.
This made him feel that Qin Wenyuan was not an ordinary person.
He took a deep breath and said with a shameless face: "Hello, Madam Qin, there is no need to take care of me. Young Master Qin has great talents, and it is not my turn to take care of him."
This...
Thinking of my husband leaving the examination room for a long time...
Changle found it a bit harsh and didn't know whether it was a compliment or an insult.
But Qin Wenyuan asked at this time: "Examiner Liu Wen, why are you here?"
"I remember correctly, the imperial examination ended at midnight today. Why did you come to Kailin County?"
After all, Qin Wenyuan was a great talent for governing the country that Wei Zheng valued. Liu Wen did not dare to hide it and replied truthfully: "Master Qin, you don't know this."
"There are about ten Jinshi candidates admitted in the imperial examination every year. This is the official number."
"But secretly, we will also contact some talented people who are only half a point away from becoming a Jinshi, and ask them if they are willing to serve as officials in the court."
"Otherwise, if we only admit a dozen Jinshi candidates every year and ignore other great talents, the number of talents will be far from enough for the construction of the Tang Dynasty today."
The words fell.
Qin Wenyuan understood.
According to Liu Wen, there is another talented person in the family of his financial sponsor Li Sheng?
Qin Wenyuan was thinking, and the next moment he saw a graceful man approaching, "Sir Liu, I have just discussed with my father, and I am willing to become the advisor of the current county magistrate Wei Liang in Kailin County."
"You can give Lord Wei Liang a definite answer to your words. As soon as the imperial decree comes down, I will be able to give him advice."
As soon as he finished speaking, he saw Qin Wenyuan and his wife, and was slightly surprised at how handsome and beautiful they both were.
"Master Liu, these two are..."
"Mr. Li, we are from Changyuan Tea Shop. We are here today to escort the tea." Qin Wenyuan said with a smile.
Although the young man in front of him did not reveal his family background, his features were somewhat similar to Li Sheng's. Coupled with the title of "father" just now, Qin Wenyuan also understood the other party's identity.
It must be Li Sheng’s son!
The young man frowned slightly, thinking that there was indeed a big deal today, and replied: "Hello, both of you. My name is Li Liu, and I am the only son of my father Li Sheng."
After both parties introduced themselves to each other, Liu Wen said in surprise: "Mr. Qin, I never thought that you...you are actually a famous businessman."
Mr. Qin, you...
Now, Li Liu became even more curious about Qin Wenyuan.
What kind of person is worthy of such respect from officials of the dynasty?
A mere businessman can't do this.
At this moment, just as Qin Wenyuan was about to answer, hurried footsteps were heard outside.
"Master, Master, something terrible has happened!!"
The person who ran in was a servant of Li's house. As soon as he ran in, he squatted down, supported his knees with his hands, and kept gasping for breath.
"What happened?" Li Liu asked.
The servant gasped and replied: "Master...Master, there was a murder over at Tianliang Lake!"
"Murder?" Li Liu raised his eyebrows.
Suddenly I was curious: "What is going on?"
The servant said, "Over at Tianliang Lake, it is said that two people have agreed to come to the river to fish."
"But one person caught more fish, while the other person caught nothing. That person also said a few sarcastic words, which made the other person angry."
"Then the man got angry and found a stone on the ground. He wanted to take advantage of the fact that the fisherman was fishing seriously and walk up from behind to kill the fisherman."
"The man who was fishing happened to spot the man's shadow on the water and saw him coming with the big rock. He knew the man was going to kill him, so he turned around and grabbed the rock."
"Then, during the struggle between the two, he grabbed the stone and hit the man on the head. Who would have thought... the stone would actually kill the man."
"So now our county magistrate Wei Liang is trying to adjudicate the case. Because the deceased was the one who tried to kill someone first, and the person who accidentally killed someone was just defending himself, he is going to adjudicate the case and sentence the murderer not guilty."
"But this is just his preliminary judgment. He asked me to come back first and inform you to come over to discuss it."
"After all, Lord Wei Liang said that you are the smartest person in the county, and you will be his advisor in the future."
Hearing this, Li Liu's lips curled up slightly with a smile.
Putting aside the murder case, he was already very happy just to be given such a great honor by the county magistrate Wei Liang.
"Let's go and take a look!"
Li Liu was about to leave when he suddenly thought of something and turned back to say, "Master Liu, please go first."
