Although Wei Zheng didn't know much about the family of the Ling Mansion, he knew that since ancient times, the deep courtyard of the mansion was a place of right and wrong, if the palace with the most right and wrong in the world was the palace, then it was followed by these wealthy houses.

With just a few words from Ling Yi, he figured out the key, and he really felt that his mind had never turned so fast.

But it's one thing to understand, this is the family affair of the Ling Mansion, although the Zou family is now the head mother of the Ling Mansion, Ling Yi is still the daughter, so it is not difficult for her to hold a grudge and want to get rid of the latter. But how could this allow him to intervene as an outsider. Moreover, the relationship between the Zou family and the Gong family does not seem to be shallow.

Wei Zheng was very embarrassed, and it was no wonder that Ling Yi came to warn himself, maybe the latter had already known the truth of this matter, and then wanted to use his own hand to eradicate dissidents.

She sent Zeng and Huzi over to An Yuancheng's heart, just to let Yuancheng not be threatened to tell the truth.

Wei Zheng was shocked in his heart, if this was the case, then this woman was too vicious, and even women and children had to be used, and he seemed to have a new understanding and understanding of this Ling Yi who was gentle like water on the surface.

The attendant cautiously asked him, "My lord, now that we know the truth, how can we solve this case?" "After all, Emperor Qinglong personally sent a message to let Wei Zheng solve the case.

On one side is the Zou Mansion, and on the other side is the Ling Mansion, Wei Zheng felt that one head was two big, and in desperation, he could only raise his head and sigh: "Hey, for the time being, there is really no way, someone has to bear the consequences." ”

The minerals of Northern Qin are jointly managed by the Ministry of Household Affairs and the Department of Salt and Iron, and now something has happened. Naturally, the two departments had to work together, and the military department was responsible for the entire investigation of this matter.

Since you have to handle the case, you naturally have to go to the scene. After more than ten days of turbulence day and night, after finally arriving at the so-called Wu County, what can be seen is harmony.

The faces of the people of Wu County were full of smiles, which was not at all like the miserable scene that Luo said in his mouth.

Quanzhi went to Songyang Village again and saw the same harmonious and happy scene.

He did not believe in evil and found a dilapidated thatched hut to enter. I'm going to ask about Songyang Village.

There was only one old woman in the thatched house, her old eyes were dim and her face was wrinkled, and she looked seventy or eighty years old.

"Old man, I'm from the capital. Ask you something. Allwinner asked aloud.

The old woman's ears were not good, her eyes were cloudy, her mouth opened to reveal a toothless mouth, and she said vaguely, "What do you say?" ”

Allwinner repeated. This time the old woman finally understood. He smiled and said: "If the adult asks, the villain will tell the adult what he knows." ”

"I heard that there was an accident in Songyang Village, someone opened a mine here, and all the men in the village were caught working as coolies, and finally the mine collapsed and everyone was buried alive, but is there such a thing?"

The old woman asked several times before she fully understood what he was saying. Puzzled: "The villain doesn't know that there is such a thing, the villain has lived here for decades." I haven't encountered anything like this.

Songyang Village is a remote place, and many people are reluctant to stay, so they are all gone, gone, and only we old women are left. ”

Allwinner became more and more suspicious in his heart, could it be that Roche was lying? But the latter shouldn't be so bold, not to mention what good is it for Roche to fabricate this matter? Not at all.

"Does the old man know that there is a woman surnamed Luo in this village? I heard that it is the village chief's family, but where is the village chief's house in Songyang Village? ”

The old woman pointed to the east and said, "The village chief's wife is Luo, and the family lives in the east. It's really strange these days, there are several groups of people who come to ask, and you're not the first to ask. ”

Quanzhi knew that Jin Wei had arrived in advance, but he and Jin Wei were two different departments, and the two teams checked their own affairs and did not interfere with each other.

He was about to go to meet the village chief, but he suddenly felt anxious and asked where the toilet was.

The old woman pointed to the door and said, "Just go out and turn left." ”

Quan Zhi looked puzzled and asked uncertainly: "When I came in, there seems to be a field on the left, could it be that the old man wants me to pay tribute in the field?" ”

The old woman's face was obviously stunned, and then she laughed and said: "The villain is old, his brain is not bright, he always forgets, don't blame the adults, the toilet is turning right when you go out." ”

Quanzhi nodded, and went out with his entourage.

When I went out and turned right, it was really a thatched toilet, but I saw the straw shed, and before I got closer, there was a pungent and unpleasant smell coming, and Quanzhi instantly lost the intention of going to the toilet, covered his nose and turned around and walked to the east.

At the end of the east side there was a drilled tile house, which looked much better than the ordinary peasant's house, and it was the village chief's house.

Quanzhi stepped forward and knocked on the door, and it was a middle-aged woman who came out to open the door, with a fair face, and asked who it was.

Allwinner introduces himself and is finally greeted into the house by a woman who claims to be Roche.

The village head, Wu Zai, looked a little rich, slightly chubby, and heard that Quanzhi was a senior official in Beijing, and his smile was respectful and polite.

Allwinner also asked the same question as the old woman, and received the same answer as the old woman. He didn't get any useful news, so he got up and left to go to the county seat for one night and plan for tomorrow.

After leaving Songyang Village, the entourage was puzzled: "My lord, could it be that we have been deceived?" This Wu County and Songyang Village, no matter where they look, are very normal, not to mention that this Luo is fundamentally different from the Luo we have seen, there can never be two Luo Clans. ”

"So one of them must be lying." Quan Zhi said lightly.

The little guy muttered to himself: "It can't be that every county is lying, it seems that it is indeed the fake Luo clan in Beijing who is lying." ”

Quan Zhi sneered instead: "You think too simply, this Wu County is very ordinary everywhere, but it is weird everywhere."

The old woman claimed to have lived in Songyang Village for decades, but she didn't even know the direction of her latrine.

There is also the village chief and his wife, I don't think they live very well, it can be seen that they are not very rich, this kind of family should work in the field all year round, how can they not have a cocoon on their hands, that Luo's skin is as white as snow, and it is obvious that they are used to enjoying it all year round.

There is also Wu Zai, who is rich and speaks smoothly, and he is not the posture that a cropper will have. ”

The entourage stared at his master in astonishment, and couldn't help but give a thumbs up in his heart, sure enough, the secretary of the military department was not in vain, he had never thought of these questions.

"Since the adults are suspicious of Songyang Village or even the entire Wu County, then you might as well go and meet the magistrate of Wu County, the villain inquired about this county order Zhu Hua before he came, and he has also seen the portrait, so he may be able to ask something."

Quanzhi also planned to meet this Zhu Hua, so he ordered someone to drive directly to the Yamen of Wu County.

But it was said that when Zhu Hua heard that Jingzhong was going to come to the military department, he rearranged the county government inside and out, and after Quanzhi arrived, he was a little surprised, Wu County was not a rich city, but it was able to get everything to the layout that was not inferior to the capital.

Although this kind of treatment made him satisfied, on the other hand, it had already revealed Zhu Hua's nature.

Allwinner also asked Zhu Hua some questions, and the latter answered without leaking water, saying that he did not know about Allwinner's question.

"Although Wu County is not richer than other counties, but the people live and work in peace and contentment, adults don't look at our small county, but there are no villains and gangsters to make trouble, neighbors also get along harmoniously, businessmen have a profit in all trades, women and children will not be deceived in trading.

Adults can also see that this town is really harmonious. ”

It is precisely because it is so harmonious that it makes people suspicious.

Quanzhi was impassive and accepted the accommodation arranged by Zhu Hua, which was in the best inn in Wu County.

After nightfall, Allwinner couldn't fall asleep tossing and turning in bed, when he suddenly heard a few rhythmic beats on the window, and he hurriedly got up and asked his attendant to open the window.

Entering the room was a young man dressed in black, whose face was as pale as ink and expressionless, as if someone owed him.

Although he didn't know Quanzhi, he knew the serpentine tattoo on the man's forehead, which was the hallmark of all Jinwei.

Quanzhi also knew that he would definitely meet Jin Wei here, but what he didn't expect was that the latter would take the initiative to show up to find him, once Jin Wei appeared, I am afraid that the case would not be so satisfactory.

Sure enough, as soon as Jin Wei spoke, what he said made Quanzhi's heart tremble slightly.

"Everyone in Wu County, including people from Songyang Village and several other villages, was killed."

Quanzhi's face was sluggish, and it took a long time to react, Jin Wei couldn't talk nonsense casually, he must have found some evidence, in fact, he also had some doubts in his heart, but he didn't expect it to be such a truth.

"Are you sure? There are so many people in Wu County, at least thousands, can they kill them? Allwinner asked, a little incredulous.

"There are not many people left in Wu County, only a few hundred people, those people are more vicious than you think, only a few hundred people, they don't pay attention to it at all. If you have been to Songyang Village, I am afraid that you are also suspicious, those people are all replacements found by the people behind the scenes. ”

Quan Zhi had already thought of it in his heart, but he still couldn't help but be surprised by the half-sound, from Emperor Qinglong to now, it has only been more than ten days, could it be that in such a short period of time, they can disappear everything? So, how much power do you need?

Jin Wei was good at observing words and colors, and saw the shock and confusion in his eyes, and nodded: "The person behind this curtain must have a high status in the court."

We have been searching in Wu County and Songyang Village for several days, but we have not found any evidence at all, and even the so-called mine cave has become a small mountain. There is no way to find out. ”

Quanzhi didn't expect things to be so complicated, he looked at Jin Wei in astonishment: "The emperor stipulates that the results must be given within a month, and now there is no way to investigate, what can be done?" ”

Jin Wei's face was indifferent, "What do you think I'm here for?" Although Jin Wei never cooperates with others, he only handles cases for the emperor, but now this matter is no longer allowed for us to divide each other, and everyone's purpose is the same, all in order to solve the case as soon as possible and give the emperor an explanation as soon as possible. ”

"So, you mean, we're joining forces?" Allwinner was a little uncertain.

Jin Wei looked impatient, "I won't repeat the words a second time, in fact, I have already found a flaw, but I still need the cooperation of the Ministry of War and the Salt and Iron Division of the Ministry of Households." ”

Quan Zhi thought about it for a while, he didn't have the confidence to solve the case alone, it seemed that joining forces with Jin Wei was the best way, so he nodded and said: "Those two people are slow for a day, it is estimated that they will arrive tomorrow, and then contact Jin Wei." ”

Jin Wei threw him a bamboo whistle, said "contact", and left through the window. (To be continued.) )
