Chapter 496 Tracking the Murderer (1)

When it was dark, Fang Lei picked up the account book, suddenly ascended into the air, and disappeared straight to Qingshan County, and disappeared in the vast dark night in an instant.

At the second watch, he arrived at the gate of the county office, and when he walked in, Qu Zhixian was still at the cloak table, reading official documents.

In the past few months, because he represented the magistrate of Cangsong County, he openly tried Wu Dasheng, an impostor, and caused dozens of unjust, false and wrongful cases, and gave justice to the victims.

Since it was the master who handled the affairs of the county government in his place, it was inconvenient for him to make his own decisions on some major decision-making issues, so there were a lot of things left over, and he had to hurry up and deal with them.

Fang Lei stepped forward and said: "Xiaomin has seen the magistrate, and there is an urgent report!" ”

"You're already an entourage of the patrol envoy, and you're still a small citizen!" Qu Zhixian said with a smile.

Fang Lei said: "That's just a fictitious position, Lord Zhong temporarily sealed it, and as soon as the inspection is over, it will be nothing!" ”

Qu Zhixian asked, "Young Master Fang came here this time, what are you doing?" ”

Fang Lei put the burden on Qu Zhixian's table and said: "These are the accounts of Zhang Zhixian and Zhu Weiping, the dog official, and Zhu Weiping's autograph in them. ”

"That Zhang Zhixian, isn't it also the same crime? How will he give you the ledger? Qu Zhixian asked puzzled.

Fang Lei said: "There are more than 30 people in Zhangzhi County, and they have long been wiped out, and these account books were found by me in his concubine's house!" ”

"After doing this single annihilation tragedy, Zhu Weiping must not be able to get rid of it, he saw that Zhong Xun pressed to solve two major cases in a row, and the hypocrite case is directly related to him, after all, he recommended it to the emperor, if Zhang Zhixian and his current accounts are found out, his life is about to come to an end, so the first strike is strong, before it is investigated, kill his whole family, and there is no proof of death, maybe he can escape this catastrophe!" Qu Zhixian analyzed.

Fang Lei said: "But! How can we find evidence that he hired a murderer? ”

Qu Zhixian encouraged: "Childe is a smart and wise person, and the old man believes that you can find clues and solve this case!" ”

"Who wouldn't say that? But I think that what you said is equivalent to not saying it, and it will not help the juniors at all! ”

Qu Zhixian smiled: "Who said that? Father-in-law Qu will return to the emperor in the near future, and the old man will hand over the account book to him, won't he help you? ”

"This is true, junior thanked the magistrate!" Fang Lei arched his hand.

Qu Zhixian asked: "Last time, because of the account book, the king of Lingnan was overthrown, and Gonggong Qu held the old man tightly, and wanted to help him find someone with unique skills, recommend it to the emperor, and entrust him with a heavy responsibility, this time it is the account book, and the Duanzhou prefect was overthrown, you let the old man in front of Gonggong Qu, how to say it!" ”

"This is easy, you just said that Feng Zhutou seized it, how about it?" Fang Lei asked.

Qu Zhixian said: "Yes! But you must dial Feng Zhutou a little more, so that he can improve his ability to solve the case as soon as possible, or the stuffing will be revealed that day, and the old man and Zhong Xun will not be able to get rid of it! ”

"If that day really comes, you will confess to the juniors, and I will take this responsibility, how about it?" Fang Lei asked.

Qu Zhixian smiled: "That's good! At that time, you can't say that the old man has no righteousness! ”

Fang Lei said goodbye to Qu Zhixian, returned to the post house before dawn, and walked into his guest room, he wanted to sleep back, and then continue to track down the murderer.

Early in the morning, he came to the street for a stroll, hoping that the cool morning breeze would wake up his mind, sort out the case of the murder, and find a breakthrough.

At this moment, a man who looked like a boy rode a tall horse, rampaging through the street, and with no one in sight, he knocked down a small trader carrying a tofu burden and selling it along the street, and even scattered the tofu on the ground.

A few patrolmen happened to pass by, stopped his horses, and said, "You knocked down people and ruined their business, you should pay them a little loss, right?" ”

Not only did the boy not give money, but he also scolded arrogantly: "Your eyes are blind! It was he who blocked Lao Tzu's way on the street, these rotten tofu scum stained the horse's feet, and I still don't ask him to compensate for the money for washing the horse's feet? You stinky street patrollers, nosy, do you also imagine that Zhang Zhixian was like Zhang Zhixian, and more than 30 people were wiped out? ”

The so-called "the speaker is unintentional, the listener is intentional", Fang Lei suddenly had a flash of inspiration, and felt that there was a play, why is this kid so arrogant that he wants to say such a thing? ”

After the kid left, Fang Lei hurriedly helped the peddler up and asked with concern, "Old man!" Didn't fall any injuries, did you? ”

The old man patted the dust on his clothes, and said faintly: "The old man's life is cheap, and it is nothing if he dies, but it's a pity that this load of tofu, even the capital is borrowed from others, and it was destroyed as soon as he came out of the stall, how is this good!" ”

Fang Lei hurriedly took out five taels of silver from his pocket, stuffed it into the old man, and said: "As the saying goes, life is not as good as it should be, so your hometown will consider yourself unlucky and reopen, right?" ”

The old man said gratefully: "When the old man meets the son, it is the beginning of the transfer, alas! is also a young man, one is so vicious-hearted, and the other is so kind-hearted, it is really a kind of rice, raising a hundred kinds of people! ”

"Who is this unreasonable boy? Do the old people know each other? Fang Lei asked.

The old man said: "He is the third young master of Peijiazhuang, who doesn't know the people on the street?" He relied on being a relative of the prefect of Duanzhou, sitting on a high-headed horse all day long, rampage on the street, I don't know how many people were injured, who dared to speak out? Even if he sued the county government, Zhang Zhixian was also hindered by the prefect's face, ignoring it, just now those who patrolled the street, knew that Zhang Zhixian was dead, and the patrol made the adult preside over the overall situation, and had the confidence, so he dared to say that he was scolded, and he was really scolded by him, but he didn't dare to reason, wretched! ”

"How far is Peijiazhuang from here?" Fang Lei asked.

The old man said: "It's not far, there is only three miles of road, and in order to curry favor with the prefect, Zhangzhi County also sent someone to open a road that leads directly to Peijiazhuang!" ”

"Does the old man know what kind of relationship the owner of this Peijiazhuang is with the prefect?" Fang Lei became interested.

The old man said: "I heard that the owner's wife is the prefect's sister-in-law!" ”

"Good scolding! With this scolding, that kid's Peijiazhuang no longer exists! Fang Lei said hatefully.

The old man was puzzled and asked, "Why did Childe say that?" ”

Fang Lei said with a smile: "He's just a crow's mouth, a person who gets into trouble, the old man will go back first, right?" Ben Gongzi dares to assert that in less than a month, the mansion of Peijiazhuang will not be left behind! (To be continued.) )
