On July 27, Fuliang County, Xiao Yi and the three of them just left, and the county government hall.

"My lord, my subordinates found two corpses in the Tang Mansion that had been collected but had not yet been buried, and they were two old servants of the Tang City Commander's family. Song Zhutou said to the county lord.

Uncle Wu and his wife have been in the Tang family for many years, Tang Yuan's family has long regarded them as relatives, the old man is old, and there is a possibility of leaving the west at any time, as early as a few years ago, Tang Yuan prepared a coffin for the two, and Tang Xuejun only pretended to be the two of them last night.

"My lord, there is a murder case in the county, you see?" Song Zhutou asked.

"Report it to the county!" Fuliang County Commander said lightly, many people already knew about Tang Yuan's family, and it was impossible to hide it. Besides, he doesn't want to hide it, if the gods want to fight, let them fight, and he should stay honestly as a little ghost.

"Yes!" The attitude of the county lord made Song Zhutou stunned for a moment, he was really afraid that the county lord would hide this matter, and even if he didn't fight to catch the head properly, he would have to poke this matter up, otherwise how could he live his own Tang brother!

On the afternoon of 27 July, Song Zhutou finally rushed to Poyang County, the seat of Poyang County, before the yamen was closed, and handed over the file of Tang Yuan's murder. On the 28th, Shi Shi, the magistrate of Poyang County, who was in charge of the prison, sealed the file in the afternoon, affixed a seal, covered his own seal, and sent it to the post soldiers, who set off for Chang'an on the same day.

This is also the practice of the imperial court, and all local counties must send the file to the criminal department for retention as soon as they encounter a murder case. Of course, in fact, the local counties will not have such a high efficiency, and if there is a murder, the magistrate can hide it, after all, it will be counted in the evaluation of the term of office in the future. It's just that this time, in order to avoid having too many dreams at night, Song Zhutou entrusted his relationship in the county, and sent the file to Changshi as soon as possible.

Song Zhutou looked at the soldiers who were going away, and silently thought in his heart, "Brother Tang, Song can only help you get here!"

The simple Song Zhutou just did what he thought was right according to the simple truth that if he killed someone, he would pay for his life, but he didn't think at all how much his behavior would make waves, and he couldn't imagine how much his kindness would change the fate of Tang Yuan's family, anyway, for now, Song Zhutou still did a good thing.

What happened in Poyang County on the 27th, the bigwigs of Yuzhang City knew nothing. But they were on their nerves when it happened.

On July 29th, Xiao Yi and the three of them meditated hard all night and still had no gain, Wan Shijun was also taken home by his father yesterday, Wu Bo was healing at this time in the small town outside Yuzhang City that went back to Chai Qiye to explore, his leg was very heavy, and it was estimated that he would not be able to appear for a while.

The fuse of a big drama is being staged in front of the county government in Yuzhang County, Yuzhang City!

"Yuelai Inn" is also on the street where the county government of Yuzhang County is located, and in addition to the secret tasks, the internal guard always likes to choose the best place to live to show its nobility. Since Xiao Yi has decided to be born, he will naturally not be difficult for himself and the two teenagers in life, so such a play is also in response to the planner's plan and has an excellent audience.

Wu Yin, the county commander of Yuzhang, is busy in the county government at the moment. Tomorrow is the mid-day holiday, and the day after tomorrow is the New Year's Day, and a lot of things are waiting to be dealt with today.

On a hot day, Wu Yin was only wearing a single coat, busy in the inner hall, and the officials who came and went around him did not dare to come out of the atmosphere, and the day at the end of the month was always the busiest. But fortunately, tomorrow is the tenth holiday, survive today, and you will be able to rest tomorrow.

It's just that...... As if God couldn't get along with them, the officials in the outer courtyard of the yamen rushed in in a panic.

"My lord, it's not good!

"What are you talking about! If you have something to say, you can call something!" Wu Yin's head sat a man in his fifties and reprimanded the officials who rushed in, this is Yuzhang County, a high-quality official from the eighth grade.

Today is the last day of work this month, and for these high-ranking officials, the next day's row is just a formality, and it is not necessary to walk through it in one morning, and then it will be a half-day vacation in the afternoon, which is equivalent to a one-and-a-half-day vacation after being busy today. Oh, no! It's two days! Because as usual, this afternoon is the time for the county lord to clean up the county government, and these officials don't use it!

If you can have two days off in a row, everyone hopes that this morning can pass well, otherwise something big will happen, and it is estimated that you will have to work overtime in the afternoon and tomorrow! In such an era when there is only one day off every 10 days, if you want to rob the official's vacation, he will not be in a hurry with you!

"My lord, there's a fight outside!" the official still said this, because there was nothing more general than this one!

"Why are the officials fighting?" Wu Yin asked lightly, if something happened to these people, it would be good to let the head catcher go, and even the county lieutenant didn't have to go out, who wanted to dress neatly and run outside on a hot day?

"It's not that we're fighting! It's the two teams of people who are fighting, saying that they're here to sue the officials!" the official finally finished speaking.

Now everyone in the inner hall looked at Wu Yin, the meaning is obvious, people are here to find the boss, so you should go up!

"Damn!" Wu Yin scolded secretly in his heart, "Change the official's clothes!" No matter how you hear this, there is a sense of anger.

Wu Yin put on the thick official mansion and came to the front yard, only to see that in the courtyard in front of the lobby, a man and a woman were beating, followed by a group of people who were fighting, but they obviously did not work hard, let the two of them fight together, and there was a group of citizens standing outside the gate to watch the excitement.

Wu Yin disgusted and asked the officials to separate the two who were fighting, and did not let anyone close the door, so he sat directly in the lobby and began to ask questions. This is also the rule of this dynasty, the yamen trial should not avoid everyone, in order to show openness and justice, Wu Yin knew at a glance that it was not an unsightly case, so he was naturally too lazy to break the rules.

"Tell me, what the hell are you doing with the other two?" Wu Yin asked.

"Big man, you have to be the master of the old woman!" As soon as the middle-aged woman saw the county respect's question, she didn't care about the man, and directly opened her throat and howled.

"If you have anything to say, just say it! This official will handle it impartially!" Wu Yin frowned, and the mother-in-law's voice was a little louder!

"The old woman was widowed at an early age, alone and alone, and worked hard to pull her two children!" The woman not only howled but also cried, and suddenly she was really hoarse, and she smelled moved, but there was no smell of cuckoo crying blood, and the sound was at most like a pig to be slaughtered.

"Don't howl! get down to business!" Wu Yin said in an accentuated tone as the last bit of patience was polished away.

The middle-aged woman saw that the county lord was angry, and she didn't dare to scream anymore, so she lowered her head and said honestly: "Lord county zun, the old woman lives by selling some daily goods, pots and pans on weekdays, which is a small profit business. But who knew that these black-hearted traders would even lose the old woman's living money! The porcelain bowls and pots sold to me were all kinds of goods, and after carrying them for less than two steps, there were cracks everywhere on the porcelain!

As she spoke, the middle-aged woman took out a porcelain bowl from her pocket, and Wu Yin took it and saw that it was indeed full of cracks.

"What about you, what do you say?" Wu Yin said to the middle-aged man with a porcelain bowl in his hand.

"Back to the eldest lord, there is no such thing! I saw that this woman was pitiful and sold her some porcelain cheaply, but I didn't expect this woman to be so greedy that she dropped some tattered porcelain and wanted to blackmail me!

"You're lying, sir, he's lying!" the middle-aged woman pointed at the man and cried out again.

"Master, this mother-in-law framed me ......"

Seeing that the two were about to fight again, the officials hurriedly stopped it.

"You said that this porcelain was sold by his family, but is there any evidence?" Wu Yin asked the middle-aged woman.

"Yes, sir, do you see that there is a 'Tang' character at the bottom of the porcelain bowl? That is the sign of the porcelain sold by their family, everyone in the market knows it, the old man does not believe it, you can go and ask!" said the middle-aged woman.

Wu Yin flipped over the porcelain bowl and really found a red "Tang" character at the bottom.

"Is there anything else you have to say?" Wu Yin asked the middle-aged man.

The word 'Tang' indicates that the porcelain was produced by Tang Yuan and the Tang family porcelain kiln in Fuliang County. Who on the market doesn't know that the porcelain of the Ling family in Tang City, Fuliang County is the best! How could such a defective product appear? This must be forged by this mother-in-law!" the middle-aged man said firmly.

Come on, the case is almost over, both sides insist on their own words, and there is no favorable evidence, and now the focus of both sides is on the porcelain of this Tang Yuan family. That's easy to do, go to Fuliang County, let Tang Yuan send someone to identify it, and naturally know the authenticity. Fuliang County is another county, and it won't take a few days to come and go, so let these two people wait. Today's case is over!

Wu Yin announced his decision, and the original defendant had no choice but to accept the decision of the county lord. When Wu Yin returned to the back hall, he immediately wrote a request for Fuliang County to assist in the investigation of the case, because it was a cross-county collaboration, he had to first hand over the long history of the county in charge of the prison, and then the county magistrate would hand over the history of the magistrate of Poyang County.

Outside the county office, watch the lively crowd disperse.

A teenager said to a young girl, "Xiao Jue, why did you stop me from going up just now?"

"Didn't you listen to Uncle Xiao, the situation is unknown now, and you can't expose yourself!" said the girl.

"But are they talking about Uncle Tang?" said the young man.

"That's not going to work!" said the girl, shaking her hand vigorously.

The two are Xiao Yan and Tang Xuexue, today Xiao Yi went out again to inquire about the news, Xiao Yan saw that there was a bustle on the street and pulled Tang Xuejun out to take a look, thinking about diverting the girl's attention and being happy, but I didn't expect to see such a scene. When Tang Xueying heard that it was about her father, she was naturally very anxious, but Xiao Yi said that she was currently unclear and must not expose herself.

On the afternoon of the 29th, Duan Zhang was busy in the official office, and an official brought in the official document that needed his approval today.

After reading a few photos, Duan Zhang saw the official document sent by Wu Yin, was silent for a long time, and sighed: "It's finally here!"

After more than two days of suffering, Duan Zhang actually felt a little relieved when he said this.

Quickly approved the remaining official documents and handed them to his subordinates, Duan Zhang took the copy in his hand out of the official office and walked to the north of the city.

In the north of the city, in the courtyard of the Lu family's house in Yuzhang City, the two sons of the Lu family are playing against each other. There are no old people in the Lu family! No! It can only be said that there is no older generation in this branch sent by the Lu family to Yuzhang County, only two juniors, Lu Zongtai and Lu Zongbao. Their branch failed in the struggle for power in the north, and the older generation died, and the elders of the Lu family couldn't bear to see this branch cut off the inheritance, so they decided to move their branch to Yuzhang County in the south, and separated a part of the forces that originally belonged to this branch to go south, which can be regarded as leaving a group of Miao descendants for the Lu family. A few years ago, when the two brothers grew up, they were completely separated from the main family and came to this Yuzhang County.

It is said that the hundred-legged insect is dead but not stiff, and the Lu family was originally a strong branch within the main family, otherwise it would not be qualified to fight for anything, even if it was only a part, it could be regarded as a big family in this Yuzhang City, and the heritage of the thousand-year-old family could be imagined.

"The eldest son, the second son, Duan Changshi is out asking to see you. "The butler has come to report.

"Oh, Zhihui is here!, please let him in!" said the boss Lu Zongtai, this Duan Zhang was also left to them after the decision of the main family, and now that they are separated from the main family, there are not many officials who can be used in their hands, and Duan Zhang is the highest official among them.

Alas, life is not good! The servants who used to be able to call and drink must now be the ancestors, and if the strength is not enough, the control of the opponent will naturally be weakened, and Duan Zhang's idea of relying on nobles to speculate is naturally related to the fact that Lu Zongtai's strength has declined and he can no longer restrain him.

"The eldest son, the second son!" Duan Zhang said to the two of them.

"Zhihui is here! Sit down! I'm tired after a busy day. Butler, go get some ice to cool off Zhihui!" Lu Zongtai said with some courtesy.

"Eldest Prince, Duan Mou has come to ask Gongzi for his guilt today!" After speaking, Duan Zhang knelt down towards Lu Zongtai.

Lu Zongtai was also shocked when he saw Duan Zhang's behavior like this, although Duan Zhang was still respectful on the surface in the past two years, Lu Zongtai could still feel Duan Zhang's inner coldness, which was also inevitable, it was difficult to bring the team when the people's hearts were scattered! Lu Zongtai didn't care about anything, but treated Duan Zhang more diligently. But when Duan Zhang came out like this today, something must have happened!

"Get up and talk slowly!" Lu Zongtai also put away his smiling face, sat up straight, and said lightly.

"Yes!"

After Duan Zhang straightened up, he told the matter as it was, from the news of the noble person he got when he entered Beijing last year, to the theft of the letter from the death of the housekeeper, to Wei Chao's failure to return, and Xiao Yi's visit yesterday, as well as the documents he had just received, 1510 said it in its original form, Duan Zhang has no choice but to rely on his own master now. That's right, the reason why Duan Zhang was able to complete his studies back then, was recommended by the envoy to enter Beijing to take the exam, and finally became a high school jinshi, as well as the help of the Lu family in the past ten years, otherwise how could he have today's achievements as a poor student.

"Vertical!" After listening to Duan Zhang's words, Lu Zongbao had already flipped the chessboard angrily.

Duan Zhang lowered his head and said nothing.

"Big brother, we can't wait any longer! we must get rid of that girl of the Tang family immediately!" Lu Zongbao said loudly.

"Wei Chao didn't kill anyone!" Lu Zongtai emphasized.

In fact, the eldest Lu Zongtai is better at long-term planning, plus he is good at cultivating qi and kung fu, and he is gentle and polite to everyone, and he is a good material to be the boss! But these ad-hoc decisions are not as fast as the second Lu Zongbao's response, and the second child also knows that he has a bad temper, and there are already two of them left in the family, and they have depended on each other since childhood, so naturally they will not fight with the eldest brother anymore. So over the years, the two have worked together to break out of this strange Yuzhang City.

"Big brother, what are you still thinking! That's the internal guard! You don't know what the internal guard and the civil officials have been fighting like these years, in the past few years, the leaders of the internal guard have all been whitewashed and stuffed into the court by the emperor, which is clearly to suppress the power of the ministers who have grown crazy in recent years, and the old emperor wants to play and weigh the lice on the monk's head, obviously! There is such a thing, and it is hooked up with the internal guard, Duan Zhang is a civil official, and they have to fight to the death! The party fights together, who cares who killed the person at this time?" Lu Zongtai said quickly, without the slightest fear of the emperor.

"Today's incident I think the Eight Achievements were done by the Wan family, let's test them last time, they are good, just come to a big one, today's play is good! From darkness to light! All of a sudden, they reversed their disadvantage, forcing us to make a ruthless move!" Lu Zongbao praised and said.

"This is definitely not Wan Shijun's kid who did it! Those messy things before seem to have been done by him, killing people with his own hands, this Wan Er Gongzi is really cute! If Duan Zhang, you come to sue us a day earlier, we can stab it immediately, and two lives are enough for ten thousand families to drink a pot!" Lu Zongbao glared at Duan Zhang viciously and said.

"Now...... Can't we?" asked Lu Zongtai.

"Big brother, it's still a fart to do this now! We have lost the opportunity, it must be the old thing from Wanjia who shot today, and the old thing must be a serial move, let's just run behind his ass if we do it again!" Lu Zongbao said hurriedly.

"Then what should we do now?" Lu Zongtai didn't ask anymore, since his younger brother had already figured it out, let him decide.

"What else can I do now? The old thing uses Yangmou, and if it comes out like this today, tomorrow will be the tenth holiday, and then it will be a day later when the official document arrives in Fuliang County. It is estimated that the county magistrate of Fuliang County has already reported the murder case to Poyang County, and he doesn't know if he will send it away or not, so he can't pin his hopes on it! The old thing's method must definitely be to poke the case up, and then take out Duan Zhang's letter when the time comes, and if there are internal guards to mix it up, the case will definitely make a big fuss, and then it will be an endless party dispute, and the emperor Lao'er will definitely take Duan Zhang's knife in order to calm the matter!"

"No! If the old thing moves fast enough, he will spread the party dispute before August 15, and when the time comes, for the sake of Yang Taizhen's canonization of the concubine, the emperor will definitely stop the turmoil in advance, and the biggest possibility is to dismiss Duan Zhang!" Lu Zongbao suddenly thought of the news that Duan Zhang just said, that noble person is Yang Yuhuan, and he doesn't know where Duan Zhang's friend got the news, although this news has been noisy in recent years, but it has not been believed, but it seems that this time it is true! The old thing is really ruthless enough! He killed someone, but he wanted to take advantage of the emperor's reluctance to do much trouble before canonizing the concubine and deliberately provoke a party dispute, so that the emperor could directly deal with Duan Zhang without asking the facts when he was impatient, which is almost certain!

"So what do we do?" Lu Zongtai asked.

"One word, drag! Don't kill anyone, the method just now is not good, since we are clean, then we will always be clean, Tang Yuan's murder case to the capital also has to have a bitter master, now Tang Yuan and his wife are nowhere to be found, only one daughter is left, the old thing will definitely find a way to send this girl to the capital before the fifteenth, and the letter! We just need to send someone to drag them, after the fifteenth, the emperor's canonization is completed, how to make trouble in the party and love, the longer the trouble, the safer we are! Wei Chao didn't seem to be dead, and as soon as Wei Chao appeared with Tang Yuan and his wife, the rumors about Duan Zhang's murder would be self-defeating. Since we didn't do anything bad, and we rescued two innocent people from the gangsters, Shilin will naturally praise us, and when the time comes, let's let the family send someone to turn the spearhead and target these unscrupulous families who are careless about people's lives, and we will have a chance to deal with the Wan family in an open and honest manner!" Lu Zongbao became more and more energetic, and just now he was still thinking about how to defend himself, and he could seize the opponent's loophole and start fighting back in an instant.

Lu Zongtai looked at his excited younger brother and was also a little happy, his younger brother's brain was spinning fast! A crisis was just lifted for him, and maybe he could seize an opportunity to fight back.

"Big brother, let's do this now, Lao Duan, you go back now, what should you do during tomorrow's mid-year holiday, but you can't go out to have fun, stay at home and pretend to die, don't go there the day after tomorrow, ask for a leave, the old thing will definitely find a way to send out the official documents." It's okay!Don't care!" came up with a way, and Lu Zongbao's attitude towards Duan Zhang became polite.

"Yes, Second Son. Duan Zhang also relaxed.

"Big brother, Tang Yuan's daughter is estimated to be with that internal guard now, the day after tomorrow at the latest, the old thing will send her away, will she take that letter, whether the letter is true or not, we don't care about it, the old thing must want to turn our attention to this letter, it is estimated that the letter in the girl's hand is eighty percent fake, and when the time comes, he will send the real letter to Chang'an, and we will be busy in vain! The first half of the song, when you are about to arrive in the capital, you can go to the master's house to help, the north is our territory, and it is impossible for the old people to go anywhere, just stop the people! As for this internal guard, the idea is to leave him in Yuzhang City, saving more variables, I think the old thing will do the same, after all, in his opinion, there is such a master, it will be difficult for us to attack the girl, in order to reduce the difficulty for us, he will definitely do this, hehe!" Lu Zongbao said at the end, and actually laughed.

Who said that ginger is old and spicy, and the small one is not bad!
