After three or five days, there was still no incident. Wang Hai and the three of them didn't talk to Xue Fengyi about the six counties of Yuzhou anymore, they just chatted normally, said some strange things, and made Xue Fengyi happy.

Now they already knew that it was basically impossible to change Xue Fengyi's attitude. If you continue to talk about it, it will only cause a strong backlash from Xue Fengyi, which will affect the overall situation.

Although Xue Fengyi is over half a hundred years old, her heart is like a mirror. knows the thoughts of the three of them, but she doesn't point it out, she doesn't know it, she doesn't want to cause conflicts among her relatives because of official affairs.

On the sixth day, Wang Hai and the three of them were still talking with Xue Fengyi, and Wang Mang was also beside him.

After talking for a while, it was mid-noon.

Wang Ping was about to accompany Xue Fengyi to the market and say something with the help of the people.

At this time, an official from Laishan City, not far from the General's Mansion, walked in.

This person is the "city lord" of Laishan City, who specializes in copying the case records for the city lord, checking various civil affairs, and plotting to host the case for the city.

Because this city is close to the General's Palace, this Laishan City is like an imperial city, and it is the soil under the feet of the Son of Heaven. All the documents in the city have been done relatively properly, and all civil affairs have been in good order, and there has never been any favoritism.

The lord of the city was afraid that something would go wrong, and he would be found out by the king and punished.

After all, Wang Xianzhi is not a mediocre lord, so it is not easy to fool.

Wang Xianzhi and the others were a little surprised when they saw this person coming in, and asked, "Zhang Gao, why are you here?" ”

The person who came knelt down and said: "Meet the old lady, meet Lord Wang, the second young master, the third young lady, the fourth young master, Young Master Wang Mang, and Miss Jingyan." ”

After the ceremony, Zhang Gao replied: "Lord Qiqi, there was a murder in Laishan City five days ago. Li Ao, a wealthy man in the city, was killed, and his head was missing.

After investigation, the murderer unanimously locked that it was Li Ao's wife Ye, but there was no physical evidence. Then the city lord arrested Ye for interrogation, but the woman only said that she did not do it. and cried to the city lord, asking the city lord to find the real murderer for her and clear her grievances.

Now this case has reached the ears of many people, causing a certain impact. The lord of the castle was afraid that the matter would expand, so he ordered the lord to ask the king to send a capable person to supervise the case. ”

Wang Xianzhi nodded and said, "Since there is no physical evidence, then why do you say that Li Ao was killed by his wife Ye?" ”

Zhang Gao replied: "My lord, there are three reasons why the city lord suspects that the Ye family did it. First, after Ye arrived at the scene, before he lifted the shroud, he determined that the body was Li Ao. Second, although Ye cried loudly after seeing the corpse, she did not cry as sincerely as she did, but cried falsely.

Third, it is rumored that the woman's behavior is quite disorderly. After Li Ao died, she wanted to bury Li Ao in a hurry. With these three suspicions, the city lord will decide that Li Ao was killed by her. Also, Li Aozhi's head has not been found, and the murder weapon is missing..."

Wang Xianzhi said: "According to what you said, this matter does seem to be the Ye family's doing. Zhang Gao, where was Li Ao killed? ”

"The scene of the first crime is not yet known." Zhang Gao was a little embarrassed and said, "Li Aozhi's body was found by a farmer in a well in the suburbs. The farmer was working to quench his thirst by digging water from a well, and by chance he found a body floating on the water.

At first, the city lord thought that this person did it on purpose and wanted to divert his attention. Then the city lord investigated this person under the secret visit. Of course, the man remains in prison and has not been released. ”

"The murderer is so bold!"

Wang Hai said angrily: "In broad daylight, there are still such gangsters who commit crimes, and even the heads of the victims have to be cut off, which shows the rampant murderers." ”

Zhang Gao smiled bitterly: "It is precisely because this case is quite special that the people are afraid, so the city lord does not dare to take it lightly, and orders the officials to ask the adults to quickly send capable people to investigate and handle this case." ”

Wang Mang listened for a while and asked, "Is it possible that Li Ao offended someone and was done by the enemy?" You just said that Li Ao is a rich man, so according to common sense, rich Jia has more or less several opponents in the business field. Also, how is Li Ao usually a good person? ”

Zhang Gao replied: "Li Ao has no great loyalty, but he also has no great evil, he belongs to the ordinary rich family, and he usually follows the rules." As for his opponents in business. The city lord also asked a few, but none of them were suspicious. Moreover, most of Li Ao's business leads to other places, and he rarely has business dealings with local people. ”

Wang Xianzhi said: "Recently, when the people's mood in our six counties is fluctuating, this case must be examined clearly in order to calm the people's mind. Cases should not be closed hastily, lest grievances arise and the people will be even more panicked. ”

Wang Hai pleaded: "Father, this case can be supervised by the child." ”

"My daughter would like to go too." Wang Ping also volunteered.

"You two go to supervise it, you can, but I wonder if you can be sure to find the real culprit? If so, how long will it take? The case could not be delayed for too long. Wang Xianzhi asked.

"This..." Wang Hai and Wang Ping hesitated for a moment, not easy to answer.

Xue Fengyi thought for a while, and then also spoke: "First to come, Hai'er and Ping'er volunteered to supervise it, this is a good thing, and it can be sharpened." There are a few difficulties in this case, and it is just right to train them. As for the time to find the real culprit, as long as they put their minds to it, carefully investigate it, and report the situation to the people in a timely manner, the people will not say anything if they think about it. ”

After speaking, she said to Wang Mang: "Mang'er, you also follow your cousin and cousin to study, and the province stays here every day to do nothing." This kind of extremely difficult case will inevitably come into contact with you in the future. If you have experience now, it will be much easier for you in the future. ”

"Yes, mother, the child will do his best to handle this case with his cousin."

Wang Mang guessed Xue Fengyi's intentions, and expected that she planned to let herself and Wang Hai take advantage of this matter to ease their relationship, and not to make too much trouble.

Wang Jingyan saw that Wang Mang was going to Laishan City to handle the case temporarily, and she was a little unhappy, and she didn't want to be separated from Wang Mang at this time, so she said: "Mother, I also want to go with Xianggong." ”

"You? You can't. Xue Fengyi shook her head and said.

Wang Sheng saw that the opportunity had come, Wang Jingyan left him alone in the General's Mansion, Wang Mang, Wang Hai and others were about to leave, he was secretly happy in his heart, and immediately said: "Sister-in-law, you are pregnant at the moment, where can you still go back and forth?" This matter was handled by my cousin, Brother Hai, and Sister Ping in person, and there was absolutely nothing to do. ”

"This...."Wang Jingyan hesitated for a while, and finally said to Wang Mang: "Xianggong, you have to finish the case earlier, don't delay too long." ”

Wang Mang replied: "Jingyan, I know this case in my heart, you can rest assured, it won't be delayed for long." ”

Seeing this, Wang Xianzhi ordered: "Since this is the case, then the three of you will work together to supervise this case." ”

"Yes, father (uncle)." Wang Hai and the three of them said in unison.

Wang Xianzhi said: "Hai'er, Ping'er, when handling this case, Mang'er can be the main one, and the two of you will be supplemented to assist him in handling it, and there must be no mistakes." If you have any problems, you can report them in time. ”

"Yes, Father!"

Wang Hai and Wang Ping knew Wang Xian's intention to come to this method, and although they were slightly unhappy in their hearts, they didn't say anything more, and readily agreed.
