Fang Lei said: "The junior accompanied the patrol envoy this time, inspected the officials of the eight counties under the jurisdiction of Duanzhou, whether there was corruption or not, and brought two dog officials in Cangsong County and Hanshan County, this time to Qingcheng County, Zhong Xunzhi is responsible for the open investigation, and the junior is responsible for the secret visit, so as to know the real situation, once it is found that they have fish and meat people, and the conclusive evidence of looting the people's fat and people's ointment, those corrupt officials will be brought to justice, and they will not be spared!" ”

"During this time, the old man has been escorted to Cangsong County and Hanshan County many times, and the common people applauded the cracking of the fake county case and the hypocrite case, saying that these are all poor supervision by the imperial court, and the bad guys have taken advantage of the loopholes, so there are such ridiculous things happening, it turns out that these cases are broken by the son, which is really admirable!" Hong Dart Head said.

Fang Lei said: "This also depends on the determination of the Patrol Envoy, if it is those who only seek the form, not the actual effect, it is impossible to find out the truth!" ”

"I heard that someone in the county government revealed that the county of our Qingcheng, surnamed Zhang, is not a good official, when the king of Lingnan was in power, he had a close relationship with the prefect of Duanzhou, and was his right-hand man, since he took office, all kinds of taxes have doubled, in addition to filling his pockets, he also bribed the king of Lingnan and the prefect of Duanzhou, and made a big set of donations, buying a town mayor, it costs five thousand taels of silver, but unfortunately the old man can't find out his true evidence and hand it over to Fang Gongzi!" Hong Dart Head said.

Fang Lei said confidently: "If you want people not to know, unless you don't do anything, the sky net is magnificent, negligent but not leaky, I will definitely be able to find his real evidence and bring him to justice!" ”

The two of them talked while drinking, said a lot of goodbyes, and drank a lot of wine, until the evening, when they said goodbye and went back to rest.

Early the next morning, when Fang Lei went to the street, he heard a lot of discussions among the street people, saying that last night, the whole family of Zhangzhi County was destroyed, and more than 30 people died everywhere, even the housekeepers and servants did not let go.

This made Fang Lei anxious, he was trying to investigate the evidence that Zhang Zhixian colluded with the Duanzhou prefect, embezzled and corrupted, sold officials and bought officials, and filled his pockets, but he was killed, which is really unreasonable.

He didn't dare to slack off, and immediately came to Zhang's mansion, and saw Zhong Xun, Zhang Yang and Feng Zhutou were also there, and hurriedly asked, "Brother Feng!" Have you surveyed the site? ”

"Just now, I will work with the county arrest house He to catch the head, and I have inspected them in detail, they were all killed with a sharp knife in the middle of the night, judging from the messy footprints on the ground, it seems that there are four or five people, the technique is very professional, a knife is fatal, it should be a professional killer!" Feng Zhutou said.

Fang Lei said: "This should be buying murder, but who wants to kill his whole family?" ”

"Yes! Zhang Zhixian's study was turned into a mess, and all the books on the shelves fell to the ground, as if he was looking for something! Feng Zhutou said

When Fang Lei heard this, he immediately said: "Then you take me to inspect it and see if you can find some clues, which is very important for solving the case!" ”

Feng Zhutou had observed in detail in the study and did not find any important clues, but he knew that Fang Lei was sharp-eyed and could find situations that ordinary people could not find.

The two came to Zhang Zhixian's study, and saw that the ground was messy, he was lying straight on the bed, and there was no trace of a fight, and there was a deep scratch on his neck, which seemed to have been killed by someone with a sharp knife when he was asleep, and the blood had coagulated.

Fang Lei found that there were a few books under his head, but they had not been turned over, he pulled it out and shook it a few times, and a portrait of a woman fell out of it, he immediately picked it up and put it in his underwear pocket.

He observed in detail in the study again, and did not find any clues that were useful for solving the case, Fang Lei said: "Brother Feng! Let's go through the corpses of the women and see if there are any people who are similar in the portraits! ”

The two slowly looked at the female dependents of Zhang Zhixian's family, and did not find the woman in the portrait, he knew in his heart, this woman is the key to solving the case, find her, maybe you can find out the black hand behind this murder case.

Zhong Xunzhu saw Fang Lei and Feng Zhutou coming out of Zhang's Mansion and asked, "Is this murder case already known?" ”

Fang whispered, "Lord Zhong! Let's go back to the inn! ”

When the group returned to the inn, Xia He and Xiaoxi greeted them and asked with concern, "Young Valley Master!" As soon as you go out, everyone is worried about you, and Lord Zhong is even more restless, I hope you will come back soon! ”

Fang Lei joked: "Then have you two ever worried about me?" ”

"We both know that the young valley master has a special skill, what is there to worry about?" Xia He said shyly.

Fang Lei said: "It's true, although there are many obstacles, there are also thrills, it's just a delay of some time!" ”

Zhong Xun whispered: "That's fine!" didn't meet with Gonggong Qu, he still remembered the master who broke into the Lingnan palace and obtained the account book under Ma Jingkui's nose, saying when he would find him, when he would send someone to inform him, so that he could try his best to protect this master in front of the emperor! ”

"If I am not a person who likes to travel the rivers and lakes and is willing to take care of the injustices in the world, I should really be this high-ranking official and glorify my ancestors!"

He admired Gonggong Qu very much, and he was able to raise people to be virtuous, and he was also glad that the emperor Lao'er could have such a loyal servant by his side.

Zhong Xun pressed and said: "A few of us entered the room to discuss matters, and Miss Xia and the catchers patrolled the corridor to prevent anyone from eavesdropping!" ”

Fang Lei asked, "Xia He!" Just now, Lord Zhong went to Zhang's Mansion to inspect the case, why didn't you two follow him to protect him? ”

"I asked them to stay in the post house to prevent someone from sneaking into the room and stealing confidential files, and besides, in broad daylight, there are Feng Zhutou and the three catchers to protect themselves, who dares to act as a thief?" Zhong Xun said.

Fang Lei said: "It's better to be careful, this murder case doesn't seem to be simple!" ”

After the four of them entered the room, Xia He immediately closed the door, and then stood outside, vigilantly watching the movements around him.

Zhong Xun pressed and asked, "Young Master Fang! What is the reputation of Zhangzhi County among the people? ”

"Zhang Zhixian is another corrupt official, he colluded with Zhu Weiping, the governor of Duanzhou, not only to be corrupt, raise taxes, fish and meat merchants and the common people, but also sell officials and buy officials, a town is a town with 5,000 taels of silver, wantonly amassing wealth, bribery, lawlessness, but unfortunately no evidence has been found, and they can be brought to justice!" Fang Lei said.

Zhong Xun pressed and said: "This is not difficult, although Zhang Zhixian is dead, there is still a group of people from the master below, send someone to check the accounts, and you can find out!" ”

"The first task now is to solve this case in order to know the reason!" Fang Lei said.

Who's behind this? Can this case be solved? (To be continued.) )
