Return to the city from the cemetery and return to the inn. The two of them took a good shower and threw away all the clothes they were wearing. Fang Zi'an is actually nothing, but Shen Ling'er, she has to do this to feel at ease, Fang Zi'an had to obey her wishes.

The two of them slept until noon, and then woke up. Go to the inn lobby and sit down for tea and dinner. The store was empty, and the old shopkeeper sat on the cabinet alone shaking a fan and thinking about his thoughts. Seeing the two of them seated, they hurriedly stepped forward to pour tea.

The shopkeeper smiled and asked, "Have you two had a good time these two days?" Seeing that you go out early and return late, you must have played a lot of places. Let's Wuhu County, right? ”

Fang Zi'an said with a smile: "The people of Wuhu County are simple, the food is delicious, the mountains and rivers are beautiful, and it is very good." ”

The old shopkeeper of the inn smiled: "That's good, that's good." However, don't mess around these two days. The county government has just come to tell me that someone in the capital has come in the past two days, saying that he wants to search for someone. I'm afraid it's inconvenient for the two of you to go out. ”

Fang Zi'an was stunned for a moment and said, "There is such a thing? ”

The old shopkeeper said, "I lied to you." ”

Fang Zi'an thought quickly for a moment in his mind, and said with a smile: "Don't worry, the old shopkeeper, we are leaving today." I ate and played, and I didn't plan to stay longer. ”

The old shopkeeper said with some regret when he heard this: "This is gone?" Also, there is really nothing fun in our small county. ”

Fang Zi'an smiled: "The old shopkeeper takes good care of us, and I will give you more silver when you check out." ”

The old shopkeeper hurriedly waved his hand and said: "Don't you dare, you have to behave in business with rules, how dare you ask for more money from guests." ”

Fang Zi'an said: "That's nothing. Shopkeeper, I beg you of one thing. ”

The old shopkeeper said, "What's the matter?" But it doesn't hurt to say that. ”

Fang Zi'an said: "If the people in the yamen come to ask about the situation of the guests in your inn, don't tell them that the shopkeeper has come to live here." Good no good? ”

The old shopkeeper said suspiciously: "Why is that?" ”

Fang Zi'an smiled: "It's nothing, but I don't want to cause trouble." In the past two days, we have also heard some things about Zhang Zhuangyuan's family in your county. We heard that Mr. Zhang seems to be suspected of collaborating with the enemy. You see, Zhang Zhuangyuan and I know each other, and we are going to come to him this time, and now that there is such a thing, we ...... Hehe, to be honest, I don't want others to know that we have come to Zhang Zhuangyuan. So as not to cause trouble for yourself, don't you? ”

The old shopkeeper suddenly realized that these two guests were afraid of getting into unnecessary trouble because of the Zhang family's affairs, which is also human nature. After all, there is such a big thing in the Zhang family, and it is said that the people who have been in contact with relatives and friends before have all been cleared up, who would dare to go up at this time. It is common for them to protect themselves, and it is no wonder that they are.

"Old shopkeeper, how much is our house money and meal money?" Fang Zi'an asked.

"Oh. It's only been less than three days in total, and all of them are together, less than 800 Wen. The old shopkeeper was busy.

Fang Zi'an took out a silver ingot and handed it over and said, "This is five taels of silver, please accept it from the shopkeeper." No need to look for it. ”

The old shopkeeper was stunned and said, "That's unacceptable, how dare you accept so much silver." ”

Fang Zi'an smiled: "Five taels of silver is nothing, the shopkeeper remember not to tell me about the two of us." Our two brothers are not afraid of spending money, but they are afraid of getting into trouble. ”

The old shopkeeper hurriedly said: "Don't worry, rest assured, but there is no need to give so much silver." ”

Fang Zi'an smiled: "Don't worry, take the back guest room to repair and repair, your small inn is really good, but it's a little old." It's been repaired, next time we come to Wuhu County to play, and we will live in your house. ”

The old shopkeeper smiled, not knowing whether to take the silver or not. Fang Zi'an stuffed the silver into his hand and said with a smile: "Put it away, it's not good for people to look at it." Remember to erase all the records of our stay, and tell the guy in your store to stop talking. Let's have two bowls of noodles and we'll eat them and leave. ”

The old shopkeeper thanked him again and again, happily put the silver in his arms, and said softly: "The shopkeeper is my nephew, he won't talk nonsense." I'll cook noodles for the two of you. ”

When the old shopkeeper went to cook noodles, Shen Ling'er couldn't help but ask in a low voice, "Childe, are we going to leave now?" We're not done yet. ”

Fang Zi'an said in a low voice: "Didn't you listen to him? Someone from the capital came. I estimate that this matter is related to the case of the Zhang family. We can't stay in the inn anymore, I even doubt it...... Our whereabouts were revealed. If people from the capital come to us, we won't be able to stay in the hotel anymore. ”

Shen Ling'er was stunned: "How can our whereabouts be exposed? We've been careful. ”

Fang Zi'an thought for a while and said, "It's not necessarily that we have a problem here, it is likely that there is a problem in the capital." For example, if the prince suggested to the emperor to delay the trial of the Zhang family's case, it is likely to arouse the suspicion of the gang of people who secretly framed the Zhang family. They will definitely suspect that the prince wants to meddle in this case. It is natural to think that the prince will send someone to Wuhu to investigate secretly. Therefore, it is not impossible to send people to search the whole city here and find the people sent by the prince. ”

Shen Ling'er was stunned and speechless. According to Fang Zi'an's speculation, this is not impossible. The other party is not a fool, and if the emperor speaks to postpone the trial of the Zhang family's case, it will indeed arouse suspicion.

"So what do we do?" Shen Ling'er said.

"Of course, it's to find out the situation and continue to investigate. Now that we've figured it out, we can't give up. Fang Zi'an said.

Shen Ling'er nodded and didn't ask any more, anyway, following the child's actions is to do it, and she doesn't have to worry about it.

After eating the generous portion of beef noodles, the two of them packed up their bags and led their horses out of the inn. According to Fang Zi'an's idea, it is safer to live in the city than outside the city, anyway, it is convenient to enter and exit the small county town, so as not to be harassed if you live in the city. However, when they came to the gate of the northern city, they found that there were many more people at the gate of the city, and everyone who entered and exited the gate had to be examined and questioned. Only then did the two realize that the investigation had actually begun.

"It seems that my prediction was correct, this is the blockade of the city gate, and the next step is to check the whole city. We have to hurry up and find shelter, and lead two horses down the street, isn't that a bright and conspicuous sight? Fang Zi'an said.

"But where are we going?" Shen Ling'er said.

Fang Zi'an thought for a while and said, "The trees in Nancheng's Zheshan Mountain are lush, let's hide the horse in the woods, so that it won't attract attention when it comes out again." Walk. ”

The two of them turned around and walked towards Nancheng. Soon after, I arrived at Zheshan Mountain in Nancheng, saying that it was a mountain, but in fact it was just a small hill that was not high. Fortunately, the trees are lush, and in addition to the paths that have been opened, there are quite a few dense woods. The two tied the horses to a small puddle in the woods, and piled the bean cakes and horse feed aside, so that even if they were away for a few days, the horses would eat and drink, and would not die of hunger and thirst.

The two men did not leave in a hurry, and stayed in the forest until dusk. Fang Zi'an and Shen Ling'er carefully analyzed the clues found so far. At present, it is completely certain that what happened to the Zhang family is definitely caused by someone. Ding's death was deliberately murdered, and then blamed Zhang Xiaoxiang's father, Zhang Qi. According to what Mrs. Zhang and Mrs. Zhang said, Fang Zi'an basically sorted out the context of the matter.

Zhang Xiaoxiang played a recourse for Yue Fei to avenge his grievances, advocating that the imperial court could not settle down here and should prepare for the Northern Expedition, which may have been the fuse of the whole thing. Naturally, the Qin Party faction could not tolerate this kind of thing happening. Whether it is the main battle or the grievance of Yue Fei, in fact, they have committed Qin Hui's taboo. But after all, Zhang Xiaoxiang is the champion of the new department, his identity is extraordinary, and he will be reused in the future, so Qin Hui still wants to win over, so he let his in-law Cao Yong, the servant of the household department, go to propose marriage. If Zhang Xiaoxiang can become Cao Yong's son-in-law, he can be co-opted and controlled.

Zhang Xiaoxiang's categorical refusal completely angered the Qin party, and they were about to attack Zhang Xiaoxiang. is still because of Zhang Xiaoxiang's status as the new champion, and because he has not been in the office for a long time, there is nothing worth criticizing, so there is a poisonous plan to implicate Zhang Xiaoxiang by framing his family. A treacherous plan to kill his sister-in-law and collaborate with the enemy began.

Killing my sister-in-law is already a great crime of both murder and funeral. But that wasn't enough to finish Zhang Xiaoxiang. So he came up with another charge of so-called collaborating with the enemy. First send someone to stab Ding to death and disguise the scene. Later, in the name of discovering Zhang Qi's collaboration with the enemy, Ding's death was planted on him. Zhang Qi collaborated with the enemy, and Ding learned about it because her husband died in Jinguo. It is completely logical to carry out exhortation. Zhang Qi's revelation of the murder is also completely reasonable. Coupled with the testimony of Ding's personal maid Xiaomei, it was confirmed that Zhang Qi had gone to Ding's room to see Ding the night before, and with the follow-up verification, there may be evidence of collaborating with the enemy. All these designs bite all the evidence together, forming a seamless chain of death, and no matter how Zhang Qi argues, it is useless. Even if it is escorted to the capital for interrogation, all this evidence will be locked in the case. Zhang Qi is dead.

The crime of collaborating with the enemy is confirmed, and Zhang Xiaoxiang will be implicated. The future is ruined, and it may be necessary to go to prison for questioning, or even be implicated in death. This is a poisonous plan that you know must be a little strange here, but you can't argue with it at all, and you can only watch things develop to the point of being out of control. This is also the usual trick of the Qin Party, if they want to kill a person, they will give you no chance to refute and turn over, they will press you into the mud, control your hands and feet, block your eyes, ears, mouth and nose, and let you be suffocated to death.

Fang Zi'an's analysis made Shen Ling'er's heart tremble, although she also participated in the whole process, but she actually didn't understand the context of the whole thing. So far, she only knew that Ding was stabbed to death, not hanged by Master Zhang. And Fang Zi'an has almost completely understood the development of the entire case and showed it in front of him.

"Childe, you're really amazing. I'm still confused in my head, you know so much. Shen Ling'er praised from the bottom of her heart.

Fang Zi'an smiled: "This requires comprehensive analysis ability, and of course, some imagination. I can't guarantee that this process is completely restored, but I can guarantee that at least seven or eight percent of it is right. You now know how I knew it was you when you attacked me outside the city, I didn't need to see you to analyze it. ”

Shen Ling'er blushed and said, "Childe, don't mention that incident again, Ling'er was ignorant before, and she didn't know how thick the sky was." Don't blame me, Childe. ”

Fang Zi'an reached over, pinched her buttocks and smiled: "How can I blame you, it's too late to cherish you now." ”

Shen Ling'er blushed and lowered her head, her heart was extremely sweet. Fang Zi'an said again: "Do you know what we should do next now?" ”

Shen Ling'er sighed and shook her head blankly.
