When the four of them entered the county seat, it was already noon, Fang Lei walked into the inn with the three girls, and when he was about to register the room, he happened to encounter more than a dozen catchers, escorting a weak scholar down from the upper floor, and the scholar shouted loudly: "Wronged!" The emperor testifies that I really didn't kill Miss Zhao! ”

"Humph! There are all the human and material evidence, do you still want to deny it? Zhang Dashan, the head catcher, shouted. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info

Fang Lei heard it familiarly, and shouted loudly: "Zhang catches the head!" I haven't seen you for more than a decade, are you okay? ”

"It turned out to be Fang Gongzi! Have a heart! There are too many people who have committed crimes now, and they can't even be tried, isn't it? The old case has not been solved, and a new murder case has been encountered, what is the reason why the son entered the city this time? Zhang Zhutou asked.

Fang Lei invited: "Zhang Zhutou!" We haven't seen each other for more than ten years, so let your subordinates take the prisoner back to the yamen for detention, and retry it at a later date, why don't you go to the restaurant to drink two glasses to catch up with the old days, how about it? ”

"Okay! There are still a few unsolved cases on the desk, let's chat while drinking, help me analyze the case, and it is also a good thing to take care of public and private! Zhang Zhutou gladly accepted the invitation.

After Fang Lei booked a room, he took the three girls to follow Zhang Zhutou, came to the Chengnan Restaurant, found a private seat, and sat down around the table.

The boss recognized that this was the chief catcher of the county arrest room, and he didn't dare to slack off, so he immediately asked the guy to bring fragrant tea and wait carefully, but Fang Lei was also very generous, and ordered more than a dozen famous dishes in one go, all of which were seafood and mountain treasures, even deer antler velvet and leopard tendons were moved out, as well as the famous wine Lingnan Chun.

When the guy brought the wine and food, Zhang Zhutou first saluted Fang Lei and said, "Master Fang! On that day, you assisted in cracking the big smoke case here, smashed more than 30 big smoke houses, so that the people applauded, and I was also famous, until now, I changed several governors, and I didn't dare to dismiss me, the old catcher, today the old man will borrow flowers to offer Buddha, toast you! ”

Zhang Zhutou was originally a martial arts person, and he was very good at fist and foot kung fu, but his thinking and logical ability to solve cases were somewhat lacking, so there were often many big and important cases, and he had to invite experts from Duanzhou Mansion to come over to help, so as to clarify his thoughts and solve the case, but this is already very rare.

"Don't be polite, Zhang Zhutou, we are all from the rivers and lakes, punishing evil elements and cracking down on criminal activities is the responsibility of our generation, and it is incumbent on us!" Fang Lei said.

Zhang Zhutou said: "Fang Gongzi is really a gentleman, righteous and heroic, still like back then, full of enthusiasm, which is admired by the old man!" ”

"It's a pity that the emperor listens to and believes partially, the gelding dog controls the government, the Hakka family picks it up, and the eunuchs around the country are dependent on the power, rampant for a while, vigorously sing praises for the gelding, wantonly collect money, and honor this eunuch, for a time goblins and ghosts are infested, bullies and thieves are rampant, and the people are living in dire straits!" Fang Lei sighed.

Zhang Zhutou also felt the same way, and said: "Since Qu Zhixian left the Yamen, the new Zhixian has changed several times, and his ability is not as good as the first, but the land is scraped layer after layer, and now even the funds for handling cases are also stretched, and the arrest is decreasing year by year, and the detection work is difficult to carry out, so the cases left behind are also difficult to detect!" ”

"It seems that even if a wrong case is handled, it is difficult to correct it!" Fang Lei said.

Zhang Zhutou said: "That's true, the old man's ability to solve the case is limited, you know, in order to save money, the yamen rarely applies to the Duanzhou government to send someone to assist, I also do my best to investigate the case in detail and minimize misjudgment, as for how the county judges the case, it has his own opinion!" ”

"The scholar you arrested just now looks like a gentleman, has no power to restrain a chicken, doesn't look like a murderer, and is as timid as a mouse, and dares to shout that he is wronged, there may be grievances in this!" Fang Lei said.

Zhang Zhutou said: "This is the deceased's maid and his family came to report the case, and I just want to take him back to the yamen to assist in the investigation, and I haven't interrogated him yet?" Wait a minute, come back to the arrest room with me, and interrogate the suspect together, how about it? ”

"Okay! I came to the county seat this time, firstly, to track down the whereabouts of the three goblins, and secondly, to see what kind of situation Qingshan County was like after Quzhi County left! ”

Zhang Zhutou asked in surprise: "There are goblins who have run to the county seat?" ”

"These goblins, mainly aimed at us and the people of the Immortal Medicine Valley, have been beaten away by us, if they are not completely exterminated, they will be a scourge after all, and along the way, we have also encountered a lot of alien creatures that have become essences, such as mink spirits, who have become human-like, and have robbed other people's marriage contracts and bride prices, and become sons-in-law?"

Zhang Zhutou said: "Such a thing, the old man has lived for fifty years, it is really unheard of!" ”

"Along the way, we've also eliminated grasshopper spirits, bamboo locust spirits, lizard spirits, crab spirits, rat spirits, and praying mantis essences, and the list goes on!" The little raccoon said.

Zhang Zhutou knew Xia He and Xiaoci, and said admiringly: "It's really difficult for the two girls, for more than ten years, following the son's side, going south and north, being born and dying, and making great contributions, which makes my generation of martial arts people ashamed!" ”

"This time I came out, and I took in another girl, and my son has another assistant!" Fang Lei said excitedly.

Yingzi hurriedly stood up and said to Zhang Zhutou: "I've seen Zhang Zhutou!" The concubine is polite! ”

"The girls under Fang Gongzi are all good girls who know how to be polite, it's really enviable!" Zhang Zhutou hurriedly replied.

Although Xia He and Xiaoxi don't like this goshawk very much, but it can help the senior brother's hand, so they accept her, every day in their spare time, teach her to learn etiquette and righteousness, treat people in the world, and don't let her be rude to others, so that the senior brother's face is gloomy, which is also what they don't want to see, Yingzi also worked hard to learn, so now he has also learned some etiquette.

Fang Lei hurriedly introduced: "Her name is Yingzi, and she is a character with unique skills, she is a good hand at killing demons and monsters!" ”

The five people pushed the cups, chatted while drinking, and talked very happily, until the evening, when the banquet was dispersed, Fang Lei settled the account, and said: "Three girls! You go back to the inn to rest first, and I will go back to the arrest room with Zhang Zhutou to interrogate the suspect, thoroughly investigate the case, find out the murderer, and give justice to the deceased! ”

After the three aunts left, Zhang Zhutou said, "Son! You will help the old man solve a few big cases, so that the county will not dare to underestimate me, an old man! ”

"Yes, but you are in the light, I am in the dark, and I can't reveal my identity, just like Quzhi County did back then, the credit is all yours!"

Fang Lei commanded in a low voice.

Zhang Zhutou said: "After solving these big cases, I also want to retreat, this is my greatest wish, I hope that the son will be fulfilled!" ”
