Qu Zhixian said: "The most odious thing is that he actually colluded with Jiangyang thieves to rob the three ships of salt transferred by the imperial court to Duanzhou, Zhongzhou and Jiangzhou, and killed all the escort officials, scuttled the ship to the bottom of the river, checked and checked, and the result was not resolved, now, the three major state governments are under the jurisdiction of the salt shortage, the price of salt is ten times the original, some poor families, can not afford to buy salt, the body is swollen day by day, can not work in the field, this tragic situation, outrageous, but there is no evidence yet, to prove that he did it, but there is no way! ”

"Won't the imperial court bring salt over again?"

Fang Lei has not been out of the valley for a long time, he doesn't know the situation outside, so far, he has not been to Qingshan County?

Zhixian said: "Fang Gongzi doesn't know, the seaside salt field is thousands of miles away from us, and it must be transported by horse-drawn carriage for more than 200 miles before arriving at the wharf, and then changed to ship transportation, and it will take at least two or three months to reach Deduanzhou, and the distant water can't save the near fire!" ”

"I see, the junior still thinks that the salt farm is not far from here? Also, if it can be transported in eight days out of ten, will they still need to rob? ”

Zhixian said: "Tea and salt are all items controlled by the imperial court, the amount of consumption is large, and the tax revenue is also large, and the sale of illicit salt is an illegal act, and it is not difficult to thoroughly investigate the ins and outs of the case, but they have already colluded, and they can turn a blind eye to him, so that they can make a big profit for the three ships of salt!" ”

"In order to stabilize the price of salt in Qingshan County, the junior is willing to transport a part of the salt from the Immortal Medicine Valley to the Qingshan County market, and let the adults control it, how about it?" Fang Lei said generously.

The magistrate breathed a sigh of relief and said: "This time, the old man can relax, and after he goes back, he will immediately notify the Salt Bureau to send someone to transport it to solve the urgent need!" ”

"So the adults want the juniors to help you collect evidence in that regard?" Fang Lei asked.

Zhixian whispered: "First of all, the evidence of their opening of an underground ordnance factory, I heard that the emperor Lao'er has received a number of chapters, all of which are to impeach" Lingnan King "secretly build weapons, expand local strength, and vainly try to support the army and self-respect, the emperor has sent a minister to investigate, but was coerced and lured by Ma Jingkui to buy it, and went back to lie that it was groundless, there is no such thing, if there is conclusive evidence, the emperor will never spare it, and he can bring down this 'Nan Batian' who is the victim of the party!" ”

"It would be even better if he found the warehouse where he hid salt, then the evidence of robbing official salt, making huge profits, and harming Lingnan Baishi is enough to ruin his reputation and never turn over!" Fang Lei said.

When Qu Zhixian heard this, he said happily: "Can you find all this evidence?" ”

"Do your best!" Fang Lei said.

Mayor Yao said: "With Fang Gongzi's words, the magistrate can rest assured!" ”

"Good! The old man knows that Fang Gongzi is a man of his word, and he is not ambiguous! The magistrate nodded trustingly.

At this moment, the manager of Jinding Qianzhuang hurriedly pushed the door in, his face was gloomy, and he said breathlessly: "Gongzi Fang, something is wrong, Jinding Qianzhuang was pried open by thieves and stole 10,000 taels of gold, where Feng Zhutou is investigating the scene?" ”

10,000 taels of gold were stolen, and this is worth it? Fang Lei hurriedly invited: "Two adults! Please go together and find out the situation! ”

Qu Zhixian said: "When such a thing happens, how can the old man stand by and watch? ”

In the past, the magistrate of the county was mainly trying cases, and the detailed information was generally provided by the arrest room, and if necessary, he could also interrogate the prisoner at the town office and close the case on the spot.

The three of them came to Jinding Qianzhuang, Boss Jin sat listlessly in the hall, and when he saw Fang Lei, it was as if he had grabbed a life-saving straw, and said: "Fang Gongzi! You must help me this time, solve the case, and recover the gold! ”

Fang Lei hurriedly comforted: "Senior Jin, please rest assured, when the case is clarified and the murderer is determined, they will flee to the ends of the earth, and I will be able to chase the gold back!" ”

Boss Jin knows that Fang Lei has this ability, but determining the murderer is the key, can he analyze who the murderer is from the foggy case?

At this time, Feng Zhutou had already surveyed the scene, and he analyzed: "There are a total of three bodyguards in Qianzhuang, all of whom are relatively strong in martial arts, and ordinary thieves are not their opponents, but the door of Qianzhuang is opened from the inside, indicating that among the three bodyguards, at least one of them is an internal ghost, taking advantage of the opportunity of the two of them to sleep, kill them first, and then go to open the door and let the accomplices in. ”

Boss Jin added: "The other bodyguard was sent by Duanzhou Qianzhuang, who has been working here for two or three years, and his martial arts are good, slightly better than those two bodyguards!" ”

"That's right, but the bodyguard who was sent also died in the warehouse, and the index finger and thumb of his right hand were stained with blood, proving that the two bodyguards were indeed killed by him, but he was also slapped to death in the warehouse by his accomplices from behind with a 'cinnabar palm', what is the reason?" Feng Zhutou was puzzled.

Qu Zhixian deserves to be a master of solving cases, and analyzed: "There are two reasons for this, one is that I am afraid of sharing more, and the other is that I want to kill people and kill people, and there is no longer even the only clue, and it has become a headless public case, where do you go to investigate?" Aren't they at large? ”

When Boss Jin heard this, he was stupid, and hurriedly asked: "If the clue is broken, does it mean that the case cannot be solved?" Did the gold manage to catch it back? ”

"As the saying goes, people have taken pictures, geese have left voices, and according to the traces they left at the scene, they can also solve the case!" Fang Lei comforted.

Miss Jin and Yahuan Xiaohong also came to visit their father at this time, afraid that he would suddenly faint, and when they saw that Fang Gongzi was also here to help find clues, they felt quite at ease, and hurriedly said, "Dad! Don't worry too much, with Fang Gongzi coming forward, there is no case that cannot be solved! ”

"Miss Jin, please take your father to drink medicinal food to replenish the spirit, according to my estimate, this case should have happened at the fourth watch, and it will soon be dawn, they are afraid that they will not be able to escape, so this ten thousand taels of gold is still hidden in a corner of the town, as long as they send people to guard the various intersections, they will not dare to rush out, and we still have a chance to take it back!"

Fang Lei said it well, and before everyone didn't believe it, Qu Zhixian also said: "Fang Gongzi is right, 10,000 taels of gold, at least two boxes should be packed, two people carry a box, more than four people, more than one person, the shadow will be big, as long as you send someone to the hotel to check if more than four people are staying at the same time, you can get clues!" ”

Hearing this, Feng Zhutou decided to mobilize all the arrest rooms and patrol teams, set up checkpoints for checkpoints, patrol patrols, and arrest houses quickly, mainly strictly inspect hotels, stations, docks and other public places, and put psychological pressure on thieves to prevent them from transporting the gold so quickly, so as to prolong the time for solving the case.

Everyone knows: Fang Gongzi is half immortal and half human, and his intuition is the most effective, he always feels that the thief has not yet transported the gold away, and it is only a matter of time before he solves the case, so he feels very down-to-earth.

However, there is always a long distance between ideas and reality, can he solve the case?
