Zhong Xun pressed and asked, "There are a lot of things, where do we start first?" ”

"Let's divide the army into two ways now, Lord Zhong investigates the corruption case in Zhangzhi County, and I am responsible for investigating the homicide case, both at the same time!" Fang Lei said.

Zhong Xun pressed and said, "Okay! Let's do as you say, let's go to the yamen office now, gather the county yamen and a group of people, conduct a unified investigation, actively cooperate with the investigation, and continue to retain those who have made meritorious contributions; Those who conceal the facts and refuse to confess will be dismissed from their posts and investigated; Those who attack and defend allies, once verified, will be severely punished! ”

When the group came to the yamen, Fang Lei saw the master, pulled him to the side, took out a portrait from his arms, and asked in a low voice, "Have you seen this woman?" ”

When the master saw the portrait, his heart was full of hesitation, as if there was something unspeakable, and he refused to say it, Fang Lei's face turned pale, and he said majestically: "This matter is very important for the investigation of the case of the destruction of Zhangzhi County, even if you don't say it, I can find out, if you actively cooperate with the investigation and have meritorious performance, we will deal with it as appropriate, but if you conceal the truth and let us find out, you will die without a place to be buried!" ”

"This woman is the concubine of Zhangzhi County, only I know in the county government, her name is Wang Guihua, she turned out to be an old virgin, she was not married in her twenties, and later hooked up with Zhangzhi County, so she was raised in an alley in the west of the city, and she went deep into Jane, and even his knotted wife didn't know about it, which can be said to be hidden deep enough!"

The master knew that the patrol envoy and his party were powerful, just like Wu Dasheng killed the court official and pretended to be Chen Zhixian, but it was hidden for three years, no one knew, and in the end it was not detected?

Fang Lei said: "You take me over now, even if you can cooperate with the investigation and have meritorious performance!" ”

"The subordinate must do what the adults instruct and strive for leniency!" The master is resigned.

The two walked through the streets and alleys and came to Wang Guihua's door, and the master went up and knocked on the door, and asked inside, "Who is it?" What's the point? ”

"Old man's voice, you should be able to hear it, right?" Master Chen said.

Wang Guihua knew that Zhang Zhixian's family was killed, and her heart was also painful, the so-called "one night husband and wife for a hundred days", why not Zhang Zhixian lived with her for nearly ten years, and also bought this property for her, furniture and sundries, gold and silver jewelry, everything is available, I am afraid that the silver taels given to her will save some frugality, and it will be enough for her life's expenses.

When she opened the door, Master Chen said: "This is the official sent from above to inspect the counties, and now he is investigating the case of the whole family being destroyed in Zhangzhi County. ”

Fang Lei said: "Master Chen! You go back to the yamen first, and cooperate with the patrol envoy to investigate, there is nothing for you to do here! ”

Master Chen hurriedly said: "Xiaguan will go back and actively cooperate with the adult's investigation!" ”

After Master Chen left, Fang Lei took out the portrait from his arms, handed it to Wang Guihua, and said: "This was found from Zhang Zhixian's side, he should be hinting to us, if we find you, we can find clues, find out the murderer, and bring him to justice!" ”

When Wang Guihua heard this, she was very excited, thinking that Zhang Zhixian put her portrait by her side, which was enough to explain her position in his mind.

Ten years ago, Wang Guihua was an actor, often singing in the "Zengjia Pear Garden" in the north of the city, Zhang Zhixian was still a clerk of the county government at that time, and also became a fan of the opera.

She looks average, twenty-five or sixteen years old, and crow's feet have appeared on her forehead, but when she puts on makeup, she looks like a young girl, with a small cherry mouth, a small waist, a pair of big eyes, full of autumn water, Chu Chu is moving, and her singing voice is very good, which is well received by the audience.

When Wang Guihua asked for a reward, it was also the most bounty in Zhangzhi County, and the two hooked up with each other, and often went out for supper and tea at his invitation at night.

At that time, Zhang Zhixian already had a wife's room, Wang Guihua didn't care, the two went out to rent a house, and lived in both rooms, this portrait was given to Zhang Zhixian after the first tryst, so it was particularly precious.

Now Fang Lei has reminded her of her good memories again, is there any reason for not cooperating?

So, she took out a package from the box under the bed, handed it to Fang Lei, and said: "Ten days ago, he handed over this burden to the concubine, saying that in case he had an unforeseen disaster, he would hand it over to the case-handling officials sent above, if others didn't let him live, he wouldn't let others live, it seems that he also predicted that something would happen!" ”

Fang Lei opened the burden and saw that it was a stack of thick account books, he flipped through them casually, and saw that the number of economic transactions with Zhu Weiping, the prefect of Duanzhou, was recorded, when, and what money was handed over to the prefect, please remember it clearly, pasted in the receipt above, and Zhu Weiping's own autograph, this account book is really a fatal blow to Zhu Weiping!

Before leaving, Fang Lei kindly admonished: "Remember! Don't show any hint about this, or you'll be in danger of your life! ”

Wang Guihua said indifferently: "There are no more people, what else is there to be nostalgic for the concubine?" I have contacted to auction the property, exchange it for silver taels, and go back to the countryside for the rest of my life! ”

Leaving the alley and crossing the street, Fang Lei immediately returned to the post house, entered Zhong Xun's room, put away the account book, and waited for them to come back.

In the evening, when Zhong Xun opened the door and found Fang Lei sitting on a chair, he asked, "When did you come back?" ”

"I'm back at noon, close the door, I have something special to tell you!" Fang Lei said.

Zhong Xun closed the door with his hand, Fang Lei took out the burden from under his bed, and said: "I have found the criminal evidence of Zhangzhi County and Duanzhou Prefect, and I am waiting for the adults to come back and deal with it!" ”

When he opened the ledger, he was startled and said: "It turns out that there are so many black market transactions between the two, and the mayor of the town is charged 5,000 taels of silver for buying a town mayor, and he actually gave the prefect 3,000 taels, and the rebate is rich enough!" ”

"Lord Zhong knows, maybe the prefect gave another 2,000 taels of Lingnan King as a salary for the mercenaries?" Fang Lei explained.

Zhong Xun said with a smile: "With these account books, it is really enough for Zhu Weiping, a corrupt official, to drink a pot, and maybe he will die because of this!" ”

"However, it's not safe to keep the ledger here, I'm also waiting for you to come back to deal with this matter, in case this dog thief finds out, I will send a killer to rob it, so I have to move to another place quickly!" Fang Lei made a suggestion.

Zhong Xun pressed and said: "Gonggong Qu said that after returning to Qingshan County, he will stay for a while, so I will work hard for you to send the Buddha to the west!" ”

"I think so too, let's leave at night and come back tomorrow morning!" Fang Lei said. (To be continued.) )
