Wei Chang felt the seriousness of the matter on the first day he came to Pingkangfang, and the pressure on his shoulders suddenly increased a lot.

The pressure came from two sides, one about the complexity of the case, and the other from the competitor, Zhang Wuxiang, a bad guy in Wannian County.

Zhang Wuxiang doesn't look tall, but his muscles are strong and his spirit is very full, so he is not a good stubble at first glance.

At the same time, Zhang Wuxiang also saw Wei Chang and handed Wei Chang the same gaze.

There are four people in both groups, and the only difference is that there is a girl on Wei Chang's side.

But Qi Qi did not drop the price, but added color to the bad people in Chang'an County. Qi Qi is not shorter than ordinary men, with big eyes, a long face, a touch of heroism between his eyebrows, wearing a very bad military uniform, looking heroic.

A middle-aged eunuch handed them the dossier and just said, "The saint is waiting for your news, don't mess things up." As soon as there is news, notify me as soon as possible, I am the eunuch Zhang Bench of the Ministry of Internal Affairs, can you remember? ”

No matter how difficult the case was, he must speak in such a urging tone. The eight people in front of him, in his eyes, were a group of sesame mung beans.

Eight people saluted and said yes, and the bench swaggered away.

These two groups of people were not originally from the same unit, and the emperor deliberately sent them two sets of files.

This seems to have shown the emperor's intention - you all do your own thing, you don't have to be involved.

If it were another dynasty or an emperor, this kind of thing would never happen, because the emperors were asking for a quick decision, and since they had sent eight people, they should fight together with the enemy.

But Li Heng would not think about it like this.

Everyone also understood Li Heng's work habits, so the two groups of people very tacitly ignored each other, and even separated with a touch of hostility.

The competition between the two groups of people began at this time.

At first, Wei Chang felt a little unfair.

Because this case happened in Wannian County, then with the bad marshal of Wannian County taking the lead, the bad people of Pingkangfang will definitely assist Zhang Wuxiang.

But soon after, Wei Chang was relieved.

It turned out that the original two bad people in Pingkangfang had an accident.

For this matter, one died and one went to prison. Now there are only Qianniuwei and officials in Pingkangfang, and there are no bad people.

"It's fun." Wei Chang looked at the map of Pingkangfang and said, "The location of the incident is actually in the back street of Li Xian Feidonkey's express, so it seems that we can save some of the cost of accommodation." ”

Qi Qi continued: "No. 17 Sanhui Lane, which was originally a warehouse of a restaurant, was all coarse fabrics or sundries, and there was nothing valuable,"

Qi Qi seems to have been able to memorize the dossier, "The deceased are three right Qianniuwei, namely Li Daotong, Han Jianyun, and Jiang Jingzhe. They were all three-year soldiers.

Li Daotong is the leader of their team, he has no military rank, and they found this place when they were carrying out routine inspections.

Suddenly the enemy appeared and killed them.

There were no eyewitnesses to the whole thing. Only one of the hall maids heard a sound behind her, and when she came here, two of the three people had died, and Jiang Jingzhe was not dead, but he only said three words, 'Go east'. ”

"In other words, in the whole case, no one has seen the criminals, and I don't know how many criminals there are, but the only clue is the three words 'go east'?" Chen Bao's eyebrows were tightly locked, in his opinion, this case could not be solved at all.

Tang Hu rubbed his forehead and scolded: "What kind of dossier is this?" It's like he didn't say anything. ”

"No," Qi Qi continued, "there are clues. That is the original two bad people in Pingkangfang, Lang Yangming and Fang Hengjiu. The one who died was called Lang Yangming, and it is said that he was close to the truth of the matter, so he was killed. ”

"That said, it's dangerous to get closer to the truth." Chen Bao said with a wry smile.

"Perhaps." Qi Qi shrugged: "But we still have to investigate, don't we?" ”

"Of course." Wei Chang closed the map: "I think we should not delay our efforts here." Listen to me, let's go our separate ways. Chen Bao, you are responsible for contacting the local snakeheads; Tang Hu, you are responsible for Qi Qi's safety, take her to the scene of the crime to check first, and then go to Lang Yangming's house to have a look. ”

"So what are you going to do?" Qi Qi asked.

"I'm going to see a friend and talk to the bad guy in the dungeon."

"Oh yes," Qi Qi said to Chen Bao and Tang Hu, "The bad guy who was locked up, named Fang Hengjiu, was killed because he was drinking on duty. In the end, he was imprisoned in a dungeon for dereliction of duty. ”

"Okay Qi Qi, after talking for a long time, there is a useful name, that is Fang Hengjiu." Wei Chang grasped the key point and said: "In the future, don't say so many names at once, do you think the three of us can remember it?" patted Tang Hu on the shoulder: "Especially your brother Hu, he can remember three names now, count me as losing." ”

"Oh! Lao Wei, who do you look down on! Tang Hu said dissatisfiedly.

"Forget it, let's hurry up, at nine o'clock in the evening, meet at Li Xian's. Oh yes, you can understand the time when the new emperor invented it, right? Wei Chang said.

Chen Bao and Tang Hu were stunned.

"Hey!" Qi Qi said.

……

Everyone acted separately, Chen Bao went to contact the local snakehead;

Tang Hu took Qi Qi to No. 17, Sanhui Lane, Pingkangfang;

Wei Chang ran to the Drunken Red Mansion.

He will never tell everyone about his actions, otherwise he will definitely be scolded to death by everyone. But he still came, and came directly to see Miss Yu Qiao.

I haven't seen Wei Chang for half a month, and the moment I saw Wei Chang, Yu Qiao couldn't control her tears and cried with makeup.

"The slave family still thinks that Brother Wei will never come again." She simply went to wash her face and came to see Wei Chang with a plain face.

The girl is good-looking, even without makeup, she is not weaker than those women with heavy makeup.

Wei Chang nodded and said, "I've been busy lately. ”

"I've heard that you have a big case in Kaihuafang. I heard it's dangerous, and you're injured. "It seems that Yu Qiao has been picking up customers a lot during this time, otherwise she wouldn't know so much information. Her beautiful eyes wandered, staring at Wei Chang's eyes, as if she wanted to find some answer in Wei Chang's gaze.

Wei Chang didn't speak.

She continued: "Where is the injury, is it serious? ”

"It was almost better, but I took an assessment and opened the wound again." Wei Chang didn't tell anyone about it.

"Oh, does it still hurt?"

"Don't talk about that." Wei Chang waved his hand.

Yu Qiao immediately lowered her head, as if she had made a mistake.

It's really a girl who is easily hurt, Wei Chang said in a comforting tone: "I don't want to say it, it's not because I hate this topic, I just feel that it's delaying." Because I came to you to ask you for something. ”

"Oh, what's the matter?"

"Recently, I will be investigating a case in Pingkang Fong, and this case is very tricky. I need to get some clues as soon as possible, I know the restaurant has the most news, if you've heard about the murder at 17 Sanhui Lane, please help me keep an eye out for it. Deliberately slowed down his tone: "You just need to try your best, you don't have to force it." After all, I don't expect to solve the case with you. ”

Yu Qiao smiled: "Brother Wei always leaves room for me to speak. ”

In Yu Qiao's gaze, Wei Changneng saw a hint of pleading, and for some reason, he was a little afraid of this gaze, and a little resistant.

However, he didn't show anything, and then he took out dozens of dollars and threw them in front of Yu Qiao. "Big brother doesn't have a lot of money in his hand now, so let's buy you some snacks for this little money."

"Brother Wei, don't go."

"No, you can't go. Official business. ”

"Then you take the money, I won't take your money." Yu Qiao looked anxious, and if Wei Chang didn't take the money away, it seemed like she was slapping her in the face.

Wei Chang took a deep breath and said, "This is not money for the restaurant, but for you." ”

After speaking, Wei Chang strode away. He didn't look back all the way, he didn't want to see Yu Qiao's gaze, for some reason, that gaze made him feel a little guilty. It's as if you've made a mistake.

Walked out from the south gate of Pingkangfang, came to Xuanyangfang, just walked in, turned right and arrived at Wannian County.

Come here, take out the gold waist card, and the road is unimpeded.

came directly to the county jail and said to the prison captain: "Fang Hengjiu, who is a prisoner, I will interrogate him." ”

"I'm sorry, you can't see him." The rank of the prison captain is higher than Wei Chang, in fact, any official with a product is higher than Wei Chang now, because ordinary bad people have no quality. Because Wei Chang was born with a touch of arrogance, he seemed to offend him, so the prison captain looked a little uncertain.

"Why?" Wei Changla said with a heavy face.

"Because he's being treated now."

"What disease?"

"Tuberculosis."

"And when will I see him?"

"I don't know."

Wei Chang slapped the table and said, "What's your name?" ”

The prison captain was stunned for a moment, stood up and said, "What kind of thing are you, dare to question me!" ”

"Don't think I don't know, you're covering for the bad people in Wannian County and deliberately delaying my time." Wei Chang took out the golden token: "This token was issued by the emperor, now I order you to bring Fang Hengjiu out for me." I don't care if he's being treated or not, he's a dead man, and you have to bring it out for me. ”

"I can tell you Wei Chang, if you delay treatment and cause the death of the prisoner, you are responsible."

"What's the responsibility, wait until someone is dead." Wei Chang grabbed the prison captain by the neck and said, "Tell me, what is your name?" ”

"If I don't tell you, what?"

"Then I'll use this token to smash you in the face!"

This Wei Chang is really muddy, the prison captain was actually stopped by him, patted Wei Chang's hand, and motioned for him to let go of his hand. And then he said again. He thought that Wei Chang would definitely agree, but he didn't expect Wei Chang to lift his whole person up with force: "Say it quickly." ”

"My name is Yu Youmin." The warden was strangled by his neck and spoke in a low voice.

Wei Chang let go of his hand, and the warden fell to the ground all of a sudden, his feet slipped, and the whole person fell to the ground. He didn't stand up immediately, but sat on the ground and said, "People like you can't be an official at all." ”

"I'm not an officer, I'm a soldier." Wei Chang picked up the token.

Not long after, Wei Chang saw Fang Hengjiu, in fact, he was not sick at all, just a little coughing.

It was impossible for Wei Chang to discuss the illness with Fang Hengjiu at all, but asked directly: "How much do you know about the case of No. 17 Sanhui Lane in Pingkangfang?" ”

"I don't know anything." Fang Hengjiu said, and after speaking, he actually smiled bitterly.

"And what are you laughing at?" Wei Chang asked.

"Brother, there are no outsiders here." Fang Hengjiu looked a little decadent, and he didn't know if it was the prison that made him like this, or if he was originally so virtuous: "I want to tell you, I admire you for daring to investigate this case." ”

"Looks like you know a lot." Wei Chang looked at Fang Hengjiu calmly and took out a cigarette: "Su Cao, you won't dislike it, right?" ”

"Of course not." Fang Hengjiu looked a little anxious, and hurriedly stretched out his hand.

"Tell me about it." Wei Chang helped him light it.

Fang Hengjiu took a sip, shook his head and said, "Actually, I can tell you that there is nothing that can't be said," he raised his head, "But I have to remind you that the more you know, the faster you will die." ”
