The dispute between the Tofu Brain Sweet Party and the Salty Party is a joke in Fang Xiaopang's opinion.

She ate a bowl of sweet tofu brain, a bowl of salty tofu brain, and a drawer of steamed buns this morning, if it wasn't for Tang Ning to stop her, she would also like to try what sweet tofu brain and salty tofu brain taste like mixed together and added with some vinegar.

The breakfast shop's business has declined in the past two days because there is another big case in Lingzhou City.

The impact of the case was very great, and almost the whole city of Lingzhou was full of soldiers, and the assassination of the Shifu, Yi'an County, and Yong'an County were all dispatched, which made the people in the city panic.

The movement is so big, but in fact, the case itself is just a small theft case.

It's just that the person who stole it was an envoy of the Chu State, and he was led by someone on the street of Lingzhou, and in addition to the silver, he also lost a very important thing.

Tang Ning didn't know what the envoy of the Chu State had lost, but he knew that this thing was very important, otherwise Lingzhou Assassin Shi would not be so unable to sit still and solve the case within three days.

If someone else loses something, the local government can check it slowly, but if it can't find it, it will be gone after a long time.

The person who can lose things is the envoy of the Chu State, and the envoy of the Chu State was stolen by someone on the territory of the Chen State, and it was the face of the Chen State that was lost.

That's bad news, but there's good news.

The good news is that the envoys of the Chu State lost something on the boundary of Yi'an County, and it was Zhao Zhijie, the commander of Yi'an County, not Zhong Mingli, the commander of Yong'an County, who was ordered by Dong Assassin Shi to solve the case for three days.

There's nothing to worry about, Tang Ning hasn't been idle enough to others, there is still half a year before the provincial test, and the time seems to be sufficient, but excluding the time delayed on the road, as well as all kinds of miscellaneous things, there is not much time left for him.

In the past two days, the arrest of the fast government officials has been vigorously dispatched, and in Lingzhou City, the people are panicked, and what is more panicked than them is the gangsters in the city, who are accustomed to stealing and robbers.

The habitual thieves who left a criminal record in the yamen, none of them were missed, and they were all caught in the Yamen of Yi'an County.

A catcher walked in briskly from outside, looked at Zhao Zhijie, and said: "My lord, the two of them have also ruled out, when the envoy threw things, they were not on that street, and there were witnesses to testify." ”

Zhao Zhijie picked up the pen and crossed out two names on a piece of paper in front of him, he counted them and said, "There are five left." ”

As soon as the words ended, someone came in from outside and said, "My lord, it has been ascertained, and the other two are not present. ”

Zhao Zhijie crossed out the first two names and looked at the last three people.

The catcher looked at him and said, "My lord, these three people are brothers, and they are often caught in prison for stealing things, but they are all sure that the envoy's things are not stolen by them......

"What thief would admit to stealing?" A man who looked like a fast catcher snorted coldly and said, "Give them the same punishment as they are, I don't believe they won't recruit!" ”

Zhao Zhijie looked at him, frowning slightly.

This person was sent by Dong Tingshi from the Yamen of the Assassin History to assist him in solving the case, even if he was not too lazy, he frowned and said: "It is not appropriate to repair the head of the arrest, several envoys of the Chu State are outside, if it is torture to extract confessions, it will inevitably make them see jokes, it is good to find the lost things of the envoys, if they are not found, the Lingzhou government abuses the punishment and beats it into a trick, and it will be known to the whole country." ”

Since a year ago, the imperial court has made a decision to rectify the cool officials, and has made clear provisions on the implementation of punishments, and there is no basis for it, and the punishment cannot be used arbitrarily......

Another arrester quickly approached him and whispered, "My lord, this case is a very important matter, it is a special circumstance, as long as those kinds of torture are not used, the above will not blame." ”

Zhao Zhixiu looked outside, pondered in his heart, and nodded: "Use the punishment." ”

Xiu Zhutou nodded and said, "It's long overdue!" ”

The catcher quickly answered, and after retreating, several people waited patiently in the hall.

"How's that case going?" Just then, a voice came from outside.

Zhao Zhijie looked at Zhong Mingli, who walked in from outside, and said lightly: "It's about to break, don't bother Lord Zhong." ”

As soon as his words fell, the catcher who had just left walked in from outside, his face was a little ugly, he looked at Zhao Zhijie, shook his head and said, "My lord, they still haven't made a move, is it really not them who did it?" ”

There was still some worry on the face of this fast catcher, the ones they caught were all well-known habitual thieves in the city, but it could only show that they were more likely to commit crimes than ordinary people, but they were not necessarily them.

If these last three are not, the case will immediately reach a stalemate.

There is only one last day left before Dong Tingshi's three-day period, and after one day, Dong Tingshi will not blame, and the envoys of Chu will not give up, and there is a great possibility that the case will be stabbed.

Zhong Mingli ignored Zhao Zhijie, but looked at the catcher and asked, "To what extent has this case been investigated, tell me the truth." ”

"Yes, Lord Zhong!" The catcher looked at him, nodded immediately, and said, "We have checked all the habitual thieves in the city......

The county jail.

In a certain cell, three people were leaning against the wall, their faces extremely pale.

One person wiped the cold sweat from his forehead, looked around, looked at the man beside him, and said in a low voice: "Big brother, what should I do?" ”

The man gritted his teeth and lowered his voice: "If you want to live, remember it for me, this case has nothing to do with us, and we didn't do this vote!" ”

The two men had extremely remorseful expressions on their faces and nodded with difficulty.

If they knew what kind of envoy that person was from the Chu State and stole his things, the government would turn over the entire Lingzhou, and they wouldn't have done that vote if they said anything......

It's just that it's too late to say anything now, it's okay if you don't confess, once you confess, I don't know what the government will do with them, compared to losing your head, what is the pain of just a little flesh and skin?

In the county office, Zhong Mingli had already listened to the description of the arrest and understood the progress of the case.

Of the suspects who were caught, there were only three people left in the end, and these three people were not necessarily real criminals, if this case was in his hands, the current situation would not be much better than Zhao Zhijie.

There is still one day left before the three-day period, and if the case cannot be solved at this time tomorrow, the Lingzhou local government will not be able to hold this matter.

Zhong Mingli looked at him and asked, "There is still one day, can you do it?" ”

Zhao Zhijie glanced at him and said, "If you come to see the excitement, go back where you came from." ”

Zhong Mingli glanced at him lightly, turned around and walked out.

Walking to the door, his steps paused, did not look back, and whispered: "You wait......"

……

During lunch, Tang Ning found that his father-in-law was a little strange, and he wanted to speak several times, but he didn't speak.

He felt a little strange in his heart, Yong'an County Ya these days, but nothing major has happened, and he doesn't need to worry about anything.

And since the Luming banquet, Dong Tingshi's side has also been much quieter, not only did he not embarrass him, but he expressed his goodwill many times, so smooth, what else can make him so entangled?

"Ning'er ......" Zhong Mingli had already put down his chopsticks, looked at him, and said, "There is a case that needs your help." ”

Tang Ning thought that his father-in-law had encountered some case again, but he didn't expect him to say the theft case of the envoys of the Chu State.

The direct person in charge of this case should be Zhao Zhijie, the commander of Yi'an County, and it is nothing if the case cannot be solved, and the dead friends are not poor and poor, I don't know why my father-in-law asked him to help.

However, since he had already spoken, Tang Ning was not easy to refuse, so he did not hesitate, and directly nodded and agreed.

After all, there are no outsiders here, he doesn't need to be modest, and he doesn't need to be like perfunctory Li Tianlan, he is familiar with all kinds of detective dramas, and some of the ancient and modern interrogation methods he understands are indeed more scientific and advanced.

After lunch, he accompanied his father-in-law to Nghe An County.

As soon as I entered the county office, I saw Li Tianlan standing in the courtyard.

Li Tianlan looked at him and asked, "What is Tang Jieyuan doing here?" ”

Tang Ning thought for a moment and said, "Just go shopping......"
