At dawn the next day, Fang Lei landed on a small hillside in the west of Hanshan County, and waited until dawn to inquire about the city, knowing that the imperial court had sent a new magistrate, and Zhong Xun had already gone to Qingcheng County.

Because it was daytime, he didn't want to go up into the sky and fly around like a bird, which would frighten the villagers working in the fields and easily reveal his identity.

So, he rented an open-top carriage and galloped straight to Qingcheng County, and rushed to the county seat in the afternoon, found an inn to live in, and after putting away his luggage, he went to the street to find the accommodation of Zhong Xunji and his party, and prepared to meet them again in the evening.

When he came to the front of the county yamen, he found that Feng Zhutou and the three catchers were walking back and forth in the corridor on the second floor of the post house, protecting the safety of Lord Zhong, Fang Lei glanced at him, Feng Zhutou nodded knowingly, and walked over to the other side, so as not to attract the attention of others and ruin his secret visit plan.

When it was dark, he came to the post house again, and found that Feng Zhutou was leaning on the railing of the corridor on the second floor, looking over, Fang Lei jumped up, Feng Zhutou immediately took him into Zhong Xun's room, and then closed the door and stood in the corridor to control the wind.

Zhong Xun was overjoyed when he saw Fang Lei, and asked, "Is the matter done?" ”

Fang Lei nodded and said with a smile: "I'll do something, don't worry, I'll return to Zhao after the wall!" ”

As he spoke, he took out the gold medal from his arms, carefully handed it to Zhong Xun, and after taking the gold medal with both hands, a big stone hanging in his heart finally fell to the ground, and said: "You have been going for such a long time, I am worried about death, and in the past few months, it has been difficult to sleep and eat!" ”

"Actually, I also went through many hardships and dangers to find the person who left the note, it turned out that he also came up with this strategy in order to invite me to exterminate the demons and monsters in the Ghost Valley, but the intentions are good, the master has already instructed me, after the success, I will go thousands of miles away to eliminate those harmful spirits, but I have delayed everything, which is also my fault!" Fang Lei regretted it a little.

Zhong Xun pressed and said: "Is there someone in the world who first stole other people's deadly things before he invited? ”

"People in the rivers and lakes are a little extreme, but like Wu Dasheng, who killed the imperial court official, and pretended to be Chen Zhixian, and Hong Tao, a dog official who sells his reputation and reputation, the evidence is already conclusive, and he goes down with a knife, cleanly, and how much trouble is saved?" Fang Lei said with a smile.

Zhong Xun said with admiration: "You are really a god, this time Gonggong Qu personally came down with the emperor's secret decree, and in Cangsong County, Wu Dasheng was publicly beheaded for public display after three days of parade on the streets; As for Hong Tao, the dog thief, he favored Zhu Weiping, the prefect of Duanzhou, deceived the emperor, and humiliated him, and secretly ordered Father-in-law Qu to order someone to do him in prison, claiming that he died of a violent illness, and he did not dare to make the truth public, for fear that the people of the world would ridicule him for listening to slanderous words, deaf and blind! ”

yes! Is there an emperor and general in the world who dares to take responsibility for doing something wrong?

Fang Lei asked, "When did Zhong Xunji come to Qingcheng County?" ”

"This patrol is a group, and it also arrived yesterday afternoon, if you don't send away Gonggong Qu, who dares to leave?" Zhong Xun said.

Fang Lei said: "Lord Zhong should praise Zhang Yang and Feng Zhutou more in the recital of the emperor Lao'er, saying that they have made great contributions in cracking the case of true and false magistrates and hypocrites. ”

"Actually, the most recommended to the emperor should be you, if you are willing to help me by your side, the world will be peaceful, this inspection of the counties, if it weren't for you helping me in secret, solving two big cases, and recovering the royal gold medal, this patrol is not only difficult to move an inch, I'm afraid even my life has been frozen!" Zhong Xunpress said sincerely.

Fang Lei jokingly said: "That's good! When the adult becomes the prefect, he will be named the chief catcher of the Duanzhou prefect's arrest room, but he is a secret action! ”

"You are dark, so who is light?" Zhong Xun asked.

Fang Lei said seriously: "Feng Zhutou! He has also been doing fast arrest for ten years, and has accumulated rich experience in handling cases, and his son has assisted him from it, and there is no case that cannot be solved! ”

"Okay! As long as you are willing to help solve the case, this patrol will dare to use him! Zhong Xun clicked the board.

He learned from the mouth of Gonggong Qu: The emperor was very angry at Zhu Weiping, the former prefect of Duanzhou, and strongly recommended Hong Tao to deceive the plaque of "filial piety touching the sky", it seems that he returned to the dynasty this time to report on his work, it is the southern snake that has crossed the bamboo tail, and he has to shed his skin if he does not die, Zhong Xun is only a matter of time before he becomes the prefect, so he is also choosing his subordinates, if Fang Lei is willing to help him and appoint his subordinates, he will be the master!

Fang Lei proposed: "This time to inspect Qingcheng County, it is better to use the method of open investigation by adults and secret visits by my son, so as to find out the truth of the facts!" ”

"This patrol press is still the same sentence, the things on the scene, I will deal with it, and you have to worry more about the secret visit!" Zhong Xun said.

The two chatted for a long time, and then Fang Lei left the inn and went back to the inn to rest.

In the afternoon of the next day, Fang Lei came to the "Hengwei Dart Bureau" in the south of the city, found Hong Darthead, and greeted: "Senior Hong! How's it going? ”

When Hong Dart saw Fang Lei, he couldn't help but be overjoyed, and arched his hand and said: "Childe has a heart, the old man is very good, I have only come back in the past few days, and I took another dart, and I set off after two days, when did Childe come to Qingcheng?" ”

"The junior only arrived yesterday, thinking about coming to visit the senior, and sure enough, at home, if he has already darted, then he really has no chance to meet!" Fang Lei said.

Hong Dart took Fang Lei's hand and invited: "Young Master Fang!" I haven't seen you for three years, we should still go to the restaurant to drink two glasses and get together! ”

Fang Lei happily agreed: "It's been three years in a flash, and it's rare for juniors to come over, let's talk while drinking, it's also a great pleasure!" ”

The two came to the Chengnan Restaurant, walked in hand in hand, and looked very affectionate, the boss motioned to the man to take them to a private seat, sat on the chairs respectively, and Hong Darttou immediately ordered the wine.

After three rounds of wine and five flavors of food, Hong Darttou asked, "Young Master Fang!" What are you doing when you come to Qingcheng County this time? ”

"Junior, this time it's a business business!"

In order to inquire about the reputation of Zhangzhi County among the residents of Qingcheng, Fang Lei did not hide his identity, he knew that Hong Daotou had opened a dart bureau in Qingcheng County for more than ten years, and he was familiar with the place, had wide popularity, had many contacts with the street people, and was well-informed, so he might be able to understand the governance of Zhangzhi County.

Hong Darttou asked in surprise: "Young Master Fang! You're a well-known character! What kind of business are you doing? (To be continued.) )
