The death of Gui Xinshu in the Dongcheng vegetable market is very strange, and he died after drinking with someone once. There is a death of a head catcher, which is also a big deal in Shenwu County. Long Xiao sent someone to investigate, and Zhang Cheng was also an old head catcher, so he took the order and left, so he asked him to check his body, it turned out to be suffocation and death, not like a natural death, Zhang Chengcheng suspected that he killed. So, an investigation was launched.

After an interview and investigation, Zhang Chengcheng showed another strange thing, the green skin Wang Liu, who collected the accounts for Zhang Santou, suddenly disappeared, and Zhang Chengcheng wondered if there was a connection here. Zhang Chengcheng investigated Wang Liu's home, and now Wang Liu is alone, there is no one in the family at all, and there are a few green skins that are usually good with Wang Liu, and there is no abnormality. Zhang Chengcheng interrogated Zhang Santou and asked Zhang Santou what he knew, Zhang Santou categorically said that he didn't know, Zhang Santou was in Nancheng, and Gui Xinshu was in Dongcheng, and the two seemed to have no connection, so the matter became a headless case.

Zhang Chengcheng reported to Long Xiao, Long Xiao knew when he heard it, this was a premeditated case, there must be a reason, so let Zhang Cheng re-investigate, Zhang Chengcheng asked Gui Xinshu a few catches, and now, a few days ago, Zhang Santou once asked Gui Xinshu to contract Dongcheng, Dongcheng caught the head of Gui Xinshu and Gui Xinshu was unwilling at all, the two of them quarreled, Gui Xinshu scolded Zhang Santou for being a little deflated three, and Zhang Santou just brushed his sleeves away.

As soon as Zhang Cheng heard it, he felt that there was something strange at this time, so he launched an investigation on Zhang Santou, and this investigation showed that Zhang Santou had a lot of power, not only in Nancheng, but also in the four city gates of Shenwu County, especially in the meat selling industry, the daily share of the money was more than 12oo taels, and Zhang Santou also controlled the vegetable market in Nancheng, with nearly 10,000 taels of cashier every day, Zhang Cheng was surprised, there was such a bully in Shenwu County, he was a canonical history, he didn't know, but it was a little too scary.

Zhang Chengcheng reported to Long Xiao, Long Xiao thought about it, and guessed the truth of the matter, at this time, it must have something to do with Zhang Santou, even if it was not killed by Zhang Santou, it has a certain connection with him. Long Xiao decided to arrest Zhang Santou and interrogate him. Zhang Chengcheng led the people, and immediately surrounded Zhang Santou's residence, and arrested Zhang Santou without accident, although Zhang Santou himself raised dozens of thugs, but the evil did not suppress the right, and the county was arrested, although the number was not large, there were only dozens, and they were obediently arrested, and none of them resisted, because if they resisted, they had the right to kill them on the spot, and no one dared to take this risk.

Zhang Santou came in, but he was not honest in prison, he didn't admit it at all, Zhang Cheng was soft and hard, Zhang Santou just didn't admit his guilt, Zhang Cheng had no choice, it seems that the key is on Wang Liu, who escaped. So, Zhang Chengcheng asked Long Xiao to go to the sea to catch papers, put a bounty on him and draw an image, and hunted him all over the country.

As the saying goes, there must be a brave man under the good reward, and the fetish county goes to the sea to catch documents, and the bounty is 1o thousand taels, which is a lot of money. In this way, Wang Liu was arrested by the local arrester, and after interrogation, he committed the crime and absconded, just like the sea capture paperwork, and Wang Liu was escorted back to Shenwu County.

After Zhang Cheng interrogated Wang Liu, everything was understood, it was all instigated by Zhang Santou, and gave Wang Liu 1ooo two silver, poor Wang Liu for a mere 1ooo two silver, he embarked on a risky way, and after getting Gui Xinshu drunk, he killed him, and because he was afraid, he immediately took the 1ooo two silver given by Zhang Santou and absconded to the field. Wang Liu also had never seen the world, so he did not run away, but hid in Linxian, dreaming that one day the wind would be calm, and he wanted to come back and follow Zhang Santou. Wang Liu truthfully pleaded guilty, Zhang Santou was difficult to quibble, Long Xiao sentenced the two to death after the trial, and after the execution, the two were put on death row.

Long Xiao asked Zhang Cheng to rectify the vegetable markets of the four city gates, and ordered Zhang Cheng to arrest him to the county government without authorization, and beat the 5o big board, deprived the head catcher of his position, cut his post for the people, fined a few silver, and gave the family members of the head catcher in Dongcheng a bereavement and rewarded 5o taels of silver, which was considered a consolation to the deceased. Then, Zhang Santou's home was raided and liquidated, and 8o taels of silver were copied, all of which were confiscated, and his family was also ordered to leave the city and returned to his hometown.

Long Xiao asked the history of Zhang Cheng to redeploy the four major vegetable markets, replace the original head catcher who didn't care about anything, and replace it with a bold head catcher, the people of the four major vegetable markets can also report, if the catch is fast or the individual bullies the market, the county yamen will severely sanction it, and the four major vegetable markets have regained their initial prosperity, and all the people raised their hands and said that the county has done a great thing. Long Xiao finished doing this, he also felt full of ambition and was very proud, and he often went to the vegetable market to see the orderly trading of the vegetable market, Long Xiao was also proud in his heart, although he was only a county, but he was also an example of being the master of the people.

One day, Long Xiao called Zhang Cheng, and the two of them didn't wear the official mansion, so they came to the vegetable market to walk around and feel their achievements. Zhang Cheng is also very complacent and proud: "Lord Long, you see, the order in the vegetable market is definitely good, no one is bullying and dominating the market, and there is no one like Zhang Santou, which is also your credit." Zhang Cheng said this, firstly, to confess his merits, and secondly, to put a high hat on Long Xiao, and flatter him by the way.

Long Xiao also felt good, and praised Zhang Cheng: "Zhang Cheng, your errand is good, as long as you follow this order, Shenwu County will become the most stable county in Dalu County after a few years, this is what we expect, and the people in the future will not forget our good." The two of them also had a bit of a taste of touting each other, and after shopping for a long time, they also felt hungry, Zhang Chengcheng suggested that they find a tavern to drink some wine, and Long Xiao hadn't eaten with Zhang Cheng for a long time, so he agreed.

The two of them came to a restaurant, ordered four side dishes, and asked for a jar of Mufu imperial wine, and the two of them drank it. Long Xiao felt strange that a small restaurant actually had Mufu Imperial Wine, but the ex-factory price of this wine was 75 taels of silver per jar, and it was sold for 1oo taels of silver in the hotel. "Boss, I see that your restaurant is not big, but it is very powerful, you can actually buy Mufu Imperial Wine, I heard that this wine is not easy to buy." The boss looked at Long Xiao and the two, because Long Xiao did not wear the official mansion, the restaurant owner mistakenly thought that he was a rich businessman from other places, otherwise he would not buy Mufu Imperial Wine, this wine is not something that ordinary people can afford to drink, a jar of 5 catties is 1oo taels of silver, which is not enough in an ordinary people's home, even a year's income is not enough.

The boss was a little proud: "You two are foreign merchants, I don't know the local situation, this Mufu Imperial Wine is the wine produced by Mufu Winery, which is exclusively for the capital and the palace, and the reason why I can buy it is because I have a relationship, and you don't understand it." Long Xiao was very interested, the winery was his own, so he naturally paid attention to the affairs of the winery, so he wanted to hear it: "Boss, what do you have to do with it, can you get me a little, I am a foreign merchant, I have long heard that Mufu Imperial Wine can't be bought at all, only high-priced wine, the factory price can't be bought, if you get it for me, I will definitely give you a lot of benefits."

As soon as the owner of the winery heard that it was beneficial, he was overjoyed: "How much do you want?" How much rebate do I get? Long Xiao: "I want 2ooo altars, how about giving you one or two silver per altar?" As soon as the boss heard this, he had the benefit of 2ooo taels of silver, which was more than his annual income, so he was naturally happy: "Okay, then you can prepay me 1ooo taels of silver first, ...
