Zhao Bu gave up his hands and groaned, his brows furrowed. The big case that occurred in Sanyuanfang last year is vivid. Nine people died in one night, which is already a rare major case that has occurred in Lin'an City for many years. Although in the end, various evidence showed that it was a group of unknown bandits who had infiltrated the city and were preparing to launch an attack on the Prime Minister of Qin's mansion. They themselves had an internal strife, which led to the death of nine people in the fire. In the end, he also closed the case with this kind of evidence, after all, such a big case must be solved and closed as soon as possible, otherwise it will be very disadvantageous to himself. However, there are actually many doubts in this case.

When he was about to close the case, Song Xiang tried his best to oppose it, believing that the case had not been clarified. He listed several key pieces of evidence, such as doubts about the identity of the bandits, such as why the informant who reported the crime to the patrol soldiers survived the conflict, and the fact that the dead bandits were unrecognizable after the fact, and there were suspicions of deliberately concealing their identities, and that the wounds of the deceased had been forged. Song Xiang believes that there must be inside information about the case, and hopes to continue to investigate. However, due to the pressure of public security and other considerations, Zhao Buqi still forcibly closed the case with the existing evidence to close the matter.

However, at this moment, when he heard from Song Xiang that the fire case and the Sanyuanfang case actually involved the same person, Zhao Buqi immediately realized that something was wrong. The same case of multiple deaths, the same people involved, and the same unreasonable suspicions. It's hard not to be confused. The intuition that Song Xiang said was by no means his own whim, and it was obviously because of reasonable suspicion in this situation.

"My lord, why do the two major cases have the figure of Fang Zi'an, is it just a coincidence that after the fire the day before yesterday, that Fang Zi'an ran to the fire and said some suspicious words to cover up. Xia Guan went to see him in his yamen yesterday, and tried to find clues with some words and knocks on the side. Although it was said that Xia Guan did not find conclusive evidence, Fang Zi'an also coped with it. But it is this calmness and impermeability that makes it even more suspicious. Moreover, Xia Guan could see that Fang Zi'an cautiously responded to Xia Guan's questioning, and it seemed that he had already set up a psychological line of defense. In the eyes of the lower officials, this is actually a fox's tail. Xia Guan was excited, and he finally said that he leaked his mouth, and Xia Guan deliberately expressed his suspicion of him, and he said that he wanted Xia Guan to take evidence to get him, which was a flaw. He did not try his best to deny the crime, but asked the officials to get evidence, which shows that he psychologically admits that he is the mastermind, but he himself is not aware of it. Just imagine, if anyone is wrongfully accused of doing such a big case, isn't he angry and arguing with all his might, how can he say that if you use evidence, the lower officials can conclude 100% that Fang Zi'an must be related to this case. The case of Sanyuanfang must also be related to him. Song Xiang said in a low and firm voice in Zhao Buqi's ear.

Zhao Buqi nodded slightly, and slowly said, "Your words are very reasonable, this case is indeed a bit strange, maybe"

Before Zhao Buqi's words were finished, Master Li Shi hurriedly came in from the door and reported, "Lord Fuzun, Lord Zheng of the Fire Administration Yamen has arrived." ”

Zhao Buqi heard the words and hurriedly said: "Oh, this is here, please hurry."

The master took the order and left. Song Xiang said in a deep voice, "My lord, do you want to avoid it?"

。 ”

Zhao Buqi thought for a while and said, "No need, Zheng Xie must have come here for this case, so it's okay for you to listen to it." ”

Song Xiang nodded yes. Zhao Buqi tidied up his crown robe and walked under the porch. Under the wooden corridor not far away, Zheng Xie was followed by several people who were hurrying over.

"Oh, Lord Zheng, what kind of wind blew you here today" Zhao Buqi smiled and stepped forward to salute.

Zheng Xie walked a few steps forward and saluted, "Lord Zhao, I came to visit in the Tang Dynasty, and I also looked at Haihan." I gave a salute to Lord Zhao. ”

"Be polite and polite, hehehe, so polite, what do you say abruptly, you Lord Zheng is a busy person, and you can't see it when you usually want to see it." Zhao Buqi smiled and waved his hand.

Zheng Xie smiled, turned to the person behind him, and said, "Lord Fang, this is Lord Zhao, the parent official of our Lin'an Mansion, don't you want to salute Lord Zhao?"

The man behind him stepped forward and hurriedly bowed and saluted, "Go down to the official Zi'an, I've seen Governor Zhao's mansion." ”

Zhao Buqi was stunned, he had seen Fang Zi'an, but Shicai didn't recognize it, because Fang Zi'an was wearing an official robe, which was a little different from the appearance when he saw him. Hearing that Fang Zi'an actually followed Zheng Xie, Zhao Buqi was a little surprised. However, he quickly returned to normal, and said with a smile: "Lord Fang doesn't need to be polite. I have heard the name of Lord Fang for a long time, and I am a big Song Xinke Tanhualang, and I am really a talent. ”

Zheng Xie smiled and said, "Lord Fang is indeed a young talent, and now he is serving as the chief of my Lin'an Yujun Yamen. ”

Zhao Buqi nodded and said, "I know, I know, two adults, please sit inside." ”

Zheng Xie nodded, Zhao Buqi stretched out his hand and entered the public house side by side with Zheng Xie. Fang Zi'an followed behind and approached the house.

Entering the house, Fang Zi'an saw Song Xiang standing at the bottom at a glance. The eyes of the two made a brief exchange, Song Xiang's eyes were sharp, but Fang Zi'an only smiled and nodded.

The two adults sat down, and Zhao Buqi pointed at Song Xiang and said to Zheng Xie, "Lord Zheng, this is Song Tixing of my Yamen Criminal Division." Lord Song was stunned and even gave a salute to Lord Zheng and Lord Fang. ”

Song Xiang walked slowly thousands of times and saluted Zheng Xie. Zheng Xie smiled and said, "This is the famous Song Ti who is like a god in the capital, and the official has already heard of it, it is powerful, powerful." ”

Zhao Buqi said with a smile: "Lord Song does have a hand in judging cases. Since he took office, many cases have been cracked in our capital, and the public order situation has greatly improved, all of which are due to him. But it's not worth bragging, this is what Lord Song should do. ”

Zheng Xie nodded and said, "Having said that, with a capable subordinate official, wouldn't Lord Zhao have a lot of peace of mind." ”

Zhao Buqi smiled: "That's natural." ”

After the greetings, the tea was brewed, and Zhao Buqi smiled and said, "Lord Zheng came to see this mansion today, I don't know what is going on, Lord Zheng is busy with official business, I'm afraid I didn't come to visit the door to greet you." ”

Zheng Xie smiled and said, "If you don't have anything to do, you won't go to the Three Treasures Palace, of course this official won't come to disturb you for no reason." I still want to discuss with the prefect about the case of the fire in Zhangjia Restaurant that occurred the day before yesterday. A lot of people died in that case, and the emperor kept urging the official to inquire about the situation and the progress of the case. Originally, such a case could have been closed by the official very quickly

, but I heard that the Criminal Division of Gui Yati was investigating the case, so I came to confirm it. Lord Zhao should also know that this matter involves the security of Lin'an Mansion, so the Yamen of Lin'an Mansion has the right to investigate. Only after the investigation on your side is completed, can my side carry out the next step of pension adjustment and playing. The emperor and the court are waiting for the result, so the official took the liberty to come today. ”

Zhao Buqi nodded and said, "This mansion guesses, it must be for this matter." How Lord Zheng characterizes this matter, the government wants to know. ”

Zheng Xie smiled, "This matter is very simple, it is just a sad accident. No one wants this to happen, but since it has happened, it needs to be resolved as soon as possible to deal with the aftermath. Because of this, the people in the city talked a lot. We have to settle this matter as soon as possible, so as not to cause a storm in the city and cause panic in the people. ”

Zhao Buqi frowned and said in a deep voice, "Lord Zheng, do you want to close the case with an accidental fire?"

Zheng Xie said, "Yes, isn't it?"

Zhao Buqi twisted his beard and said, "That's the case, Lord Zheng, don't be in a hurry in this matter." At present, many doubts have not yet been clarified, and I mention that the Criminal Division is making every effort to investigate this case. Although there are many pressures, there is still a need for a detailed conclusion that can withstand scrutiny. After all, it's about twenty-five lives. It is a big case in Lin'an Mansion in the past three years. ”

Zheng Xie smiled and said, "What Governor Zhao means is that you think this is not an accident, what is the survey, it is just an accident." ”

Before Zhao Buqi could answer, Song Xiang said in a deep voice, "Lord Zheng, this is not an accident, this may be a big case of murder and cremation." ”

Zheng Xie was stunned for a moment, and said with a smile, "Lord Song, do you have any evidence for saying that?"

Song Xiang thought for a while, shook his head and said, "The evidence is not complete yet." But there will be. ”

Zheng Xie smiled and said, "Governor Zhao, are you kidding?"

Zhao Bu gave up and said, "This official is not joking. This official respects Song's opinion. ”

Zheng Xie laughed out loud and said in a deep voice, "Lord Zhao, you think too much. It was just an accident. You don't have to check it anymore, it's also a vain check. Stopping the investigation and closing the case quickly is good for you and good for me. ”

Zhao Buqi smiled: "We're not kidding. ”

Song Xiang said on the side, "Lord Zheng, human life is at stake, we can't jump to conclusions at will." ”

Zheng Xie smiled and said, "Lord Song, this official understands your mind and knows that you are an official who is good at investigating cases and is very responsible for your duties. But I'm afraid it's not what you think. It was just an accident. I have to agree on this, so why do you want to do useless things, you say."

Song Xiang said, "Lord Zheng, you can't take it for granted, it was your Huozheng people who died, and the officials thoroughly investigated this matter in order to avenge the death of your yamen." How can you not find out this, I am afraid that it will be difficult for the victims of your yaya to look at it. ”

Zheng Xie nodded slightly, reached out and took out a folded piece of paper from his sleeve, and then handed it to Zhao Buqi.

"What is this," Zhao asked after taking it.

"Adults will know it at a glance." Zheng Xie said with a smile.
