Not far away, Wu Zheng and his entourage met Ma Shiying's four guards, and Huang Po was indeed unhindered.

So Wu Zheng and his party of twenty-two people went to the wine shop where they had been sharpened before.

After meeting with the six entourage, in order to prevent safety, Wu Zheng ordered to quickly withdraw to the outside of Xiushui City.

Fortunately, Wu Zheng saw the opportunity quickly, and not long after the twenty-eight people left the east city gate, the city gate was closed by a group of people dressed as nurses.

Seeing this scene, Wu Zheng had lost confidence in the county government and Zheng Youde in his heart.

In case of emergency, Wu Zheng ordered to retreat again.

ran out of thirty miles, and has entered the border of Jiaxing County, which is considered safe.

At this time, the group stopped.

Wu Zheng's face was already gloomy and dripping.

It was obviously a bloody murder case, but now it has suddenly become a case of rebellion.

This has far exceeded Wu Zheng's expectations.

If the crazy attack of the previous group of officials can barely be regarded as a misunderstanding, then, when leaving the city, the city gate is closed, it is absolutely impossible to be a misunderstanding.

He has already revealed his identity, even if Xiushui Zhixian can't be sure of the authenticity, he should personally bring someone to confirm it, instead of directly ordering the city gate to be closed.

Just a county magistrate dared to rebel so boldly, which really shocked Wu Zheng.

Wu Zheng refused Ma Shiying's invitation to go to Jiaxing City to rest for a while, but ordered Ma Shiying to immediately send people to Jiaxing City to transfer troops.

After the order, Wu Zheng stared at Ma Shiying and said, "Now you can say, why are you here to appear?" ”

Ma Shiying hesitated for a long time, and then knelt down again.

Seeing this, Wu Zheng's heart was cold.

Ma Shiying said: "Lord Wang, the lower official is guilty, and the lower official has been in the past year...... received a lot of silver from Zheng Zhixian. ”

Wu Zheng sighed in his heart, and sure enough.

"But Xia Guan also thought in his heart that the prince had started from scratch over the years, and he didn't have enough money, so he wanted to raise some silver and give it to the prince."

Wu Zheng sneered, "In this way, this king still has to thank you?" ”

"No, no...... Xia Guan didn't intend to bend the law for personal gain, but when Zheng Zhixian sent the silver, he said that he wanted to sell some ...... with Suzhou Mansion The goods, Xia Guan thought, this is not contrary to the law, so he agreed. ”

Wu Zheng said coldly: "So, you acquiesced in Zheng Zhixian's official document on the Yellow Camel murder case, stamped your big seal, and sent it to the General's Mansion?" ”

"No, no...... Xia Guan really didn't know that the two would be implicated. Ma Shiying hurriedly denied.

Zhang Huangyan persuaded: "Lord Wang, and let Lord Ma explain the matter clearly." ”

Wu Zheng said in a deep voice: "Okay." This king will allow you to make things clear. ”

Ma Shiying hurriedly bowed: "The lower officials will never dare to deceive the prince." ”

"Here's the thing, as soon as the next official came to Jiaxing Mansion to take office, Zheng Zhixian came to visit me with silver, the first time it was 20,000 taels, I originally wanted not to accept it, but I listened to Zheng Zhixian's request, just let me turn a blind eye to the business and trade of Jiaxing and Suzhou, and I could get a dividend every month, I thought this was a good thing...... I agreed. ”

"But later, I found that the amount of silver sent was getting bigger and bigger, at first one or two thousand taels a month, and by the beginning of this year, it had exceeded ten thousand taels a month. I can't ask anything from Zheng Zhixian's mouth, and since the beginning of the year, I have sent someone to Xiushui to conduct a secret investigation. ”

"But no matter how you check, you can't find it, and the results of the investigation are that the Zheng family and several wealthy businessmen in Xiushui have partnered to resell grain and other things in Jiaxing and Suzhou, which are not illegal, so although I doubt it, I haven't investigated it deeply."

"Until the Yellow Camel Murder Case happened, I felt wrong as soon as I saw the official document presented by Xiushui. If the deceased were only Zheng Rong and Pan, it could be said that the yellow camel killed people at night, and Zheng Rong and Pan were caught off guard and killed by the yellow camel. But if you kill a whole family, there must be something wrong with it...... You must know that the Zheng family is in Xiushui City, and the house has three entrances, and the old lady Zheng and his wife live in the third entrance...... cough, after the lower officials took office, they were invited by Zheng Zhixian to come to Xiushui, and they were entertained by Zheng Rong ....... ”

"The Zheng family has no less than ten people in the nursing home, Zheng Rong, Pan and Zheng Rong's sons are in the second, and the nursing home is in the first. Not to mention, the time it takes to go back and forth into the yard, let's talk about the hospital, it is impossible to let the yellow camel get it so easily. ”

"Therefore, on the one hand, the lower officials recognized the official document of Xiushui County and presented it to the General's Mansion to stabilize Zheng Youde, and on the other hand, they personally came to Xiushui to investigate the real situation."

Wu Zheng's face was blank, but his heart rolled up, and he asked, "Then what did you find?" ”

Ma Shiying shook his head and said, "No." Xia Guan visited no less than dozens of households in the city this time, and he didn't ask anything strange...... There is just one point, the Zheng family's cargo volume in and out of Jiaxing and Suzhou is very large, every two days, there are ten ships of goods in and out, which is a big ship of 800 stones. ”

Eight hundred stones, that is, seventy or eighty tons, ten ships, seven or eight hundred tons of goods at a time.

Wu Zheng was a little surprised, every three days and a round trip, is there really so much grain trafficking in Jiaxing and Suzhou?

"How much silver did you receive from Zheng Youde?"

Ma Shiying secretly raised his eyes to look at Wu Zheng's face, and replied cautiously: "No less than ten times before and after, totaling nearly 200,000 taels...... The lower officials did not move a penny, and they were all hoarded in the government office, and they could be dedicated to the prince at any time. ”

Wu Zheng didn't say anything, but just asked: "Zheng Youde and Zheng Rong are relatives?" ”

Ma Shiying shook his head and said, "Although the two of them are surnamed Zheng, they have nothing to do with each other. Zheng Rong is a local, while Zheng Zhixian is a native of Yangzhou, and according to the law, officials are not allowed to be officials in their own country. ”

Wu Zheng turned to Zhang Huangyan and asked, "Brother Xuan, did you think of anything?" ”

Zhang Huangyan frowned and shook his head.

Wu Zheng also frowned and said: "Since this is the case, we will wait for the deployment of troops to arrive, and then make a decision." ”

Zhang Huangyan suddenly pulled Huang Po and asked in a harmonious voice: "That night, you saw your father escape from the Zheng family, how many people chased after him?" ”

Huang Po shook his head and said, "I can't see clearly, anyway, I only see clearly that Zheng Youcai is the leader." ”

Zhang Huangyan looked at Wu Zheng and said, "Maybe what Huang Po saw was not Zheng Rong's father, maybe it wasn't true." ”

Wu Zheng thought for a while and said, "You mean, Zheng Youcai took the opportunity to kill his Aya and Aniang?" This doesn't make sense, what is the benefit of killing your grandfather and grandmother? Besides, Zheng Youcai led people to chase the yellow camel, obviously the yellow camel had already alarmed the Zheng family's nursing home, how could he kill people in full view? You must know that according to Ma Shiying, the Zheng family is the third courtyard, Zheng Youcai led people to chase the yellow camel, and then returned to the third courtyard to kill his grandparents, which obviously cannot avoid the eyes and ears of the Zheng family's nursing home. ”

Zhang Huangyan groaned: "Maybe from the Zheng Family Nursing Hospital, you can learn the truth of the case." ”
