"That's a good job! Wang Cheng, in the evening, the county will send someone to send your reward silver to your home, and you know that although you have earned a glorious amount of silver, it should not be too bright in itself! If the county rewards you with great fanfare, won't all the things about Zhang Ge be exposed? Go home and wait! The county's words are absolutely real! ”

Wang Cheng and his wife guarded the thousands of taels of silver in their hands, and they were rewarded with 500 taels of silver in the high county order, and their hearts couldn't help but be sweet. Soon after the second watch drum sounded, the person sent by the Gao County Order really appeared at the door of Wang Cheng's house.

But it wasn't here to give Wang Cheng a silver reward, it was two brocade guard killers dressed as bats in black, people from the "Bat Army". Wang Cheng and his wife did not wait for the reward of silver, and even the silver that had been obtained was taken away, Wang Cheng began to be a little frightened at this time, whether it was shocked or shocked, he did not save his life and lost his life.

After the second watch, Gao Cai spent the night in the study, accompanied by Xia Er, one of the four maids beside Lord Jing. There was a soft sound outside the window, and three people fell in turn, one in front of the other, and in front of them was Zhao Long, the captain of the guard of the Jingjun Lord, who was also the captain of the high-ranking guard. Behind them were the two killers sent to Wang Cheng's house, dressed as a servant, who were actually two soldiers of the Jinyi Guard.

Gao Cai leaned on the small wooden couch, and Xia Er generously hammered his shoulder for him. Zhao Long hurriedly told him that Wang Cheng's matter had been dealt with properly, and there was another important matter to report.

"The body is deeply buried? To give people the illusion that the couple got a thousand taels of silver and flew away, you know? Gao Cai shouted.

The two killers saluted forward and said, "The subordinates will do what they have arranged and promise not to arouse the suspicion of others!" ”

"It's not to arouse suspicion! It's to mess up Wang Cheng's house, take away some things, and lock all the doors from the outside! The key is that the bodies of his husband and wife must be buried in a very, very hidden place, so that no one can find them, and they cannot be picked up and eaten by wild dogs or something. ”

"Absolutely not! Lord County! Our brother found a place in a very, very inhospitable valley and dug for an hour before burying it, not two people deep, but one and a half deep. After Gao Cai waved his hand to let the two killers go, Zhao Long reported to him another important matter, that is, Hong Guang, the lord of a thousand households, sent a letter saying that the activities of Xichang Fanzi in this area were too rampant, and we wanted to find a way to combat their arrogance.

"Which is so easy? Last time, I wanted to borrow the power of a few Fanzi to destroy the Gu family in Gujiabao, but as a result, a small commander didn't eat our wooing, and in the end, we had to do it ourselves? Three brothers died! ”

"That's because they are careless, and they are greedy for the eldest lady of the ancient family...... What is the beauty of the ice? Carrying out the task is also half-hearted, and there is more than enough to die! After saying that, Zhao Long quickly left.

By the time Gu Feng, as the governor of Lingzhou, saw the file of Zhang Ge's old case in Sanhe County, it was already half a year later. Gu Feng did not forget that when someone talked about the strange things of Zhang Ge Lao frequently marrying his daughter-in-law, Gao Cai's eagerness to try and want to handle the case independently, such an ending and closure, Gu Feng always felt a little strange in his heart.

There is nothing to be seen in the case file, but the people inside are dying one by one, which is too light. In particular, the disappearance of Wang Cheng and his wife, the former head catcher in Sanhe County, came strangely.

Gu Feng secretly sent people to contact Jiang Hua, Cheng Yi and Ah Si, Ah Si did not get in touch, Jiang Hua and Cheng Yi said that they did not know about this, they had never participated in official business since they came, and they had no part in arrest and interrogation, it seemed that the Gao people of Kochi County were unwilling to hand over anything to the two of them, that is to say, both of them were actually idle vacancies, but when Master Gao traveled, they walked in the guards, and when Master Gao lived, they stood guard and put a sentry.

"How can this be?" Gu Feng was a little puzzled, "Do you trust it, or don't you need it?" ”

"Distrust!" The eldest lady Gu Yun came over and patted Gu Feng's shoulder and back and said affirmatively. She has already observed that Gu Feng has begun to pay attention to Gao Cai's work, and it doesn't matter whether he believes that Gao Cai is not a gentleman in his mind, the important thing is to make Gu Feng start to care about Gao Cai's behavior and work, and it is a big improvement to be able to observe and experience it in person.

"Sir! The person who investigated the identity of the two corpses in the dry well has returned......" Someone suddenly shouted, pulling Gu Feng back from his memories to reality.

"Let them come to see me directly!" Gu Feng ordered a little anxiously, and there were already two people in men's clothes, Yuhu and Yuni, who were beside him.

Liu Qing and others came back to report that the man and woman were husband and wife, the man's name was Qiu Qi, and the woman's name was Tonghua. It is said that the couple is very responsible and hardworking, and they have no children, nor have they seen the elderly or relatives and friends.

"But, junior master! There is a thing that is not normal, I inquired from Qiu Qi's neighbors, their rice business is not very good, but the daily life of the couple is very luxurious, the two not only wear silk and satin, wear gold and silver, and go in and out of the luxury sedan chair, spending silver like flowing water. ”

"That's not right! How could a superior life make Qiu Qi dark and thin, and Tonghua's skin was rough, and he didn't look like a pampered person? Gu Feng couldn't help but be puzzled.

Liu Qing immediately said: "Some people say that they are often not at home at night, and it is common for them to sleep during the day while doing business......

"This is not a pair of good people! Could it be a thief couple? Speaking of this, Gu Feng suddenly remembered that the Gu family was involved in the harm caused by the Black Lotus Inn, and Qiu Qi and his wife should still be doing things that hurt the heavens and reason.

Who killed such a wicked couple? Is it infighting after the uneven distribution of spoils? Gu Feng decided to start with the "Poisonous Lotus Inn", because this kind of inn had already appeared on the official road from Langzhong County to Langhou County.

Gu Feng was still secretly wondering: "The original criminal experience in this area, here and often do not return at night, the smell of poisonous lotus powder on the body, and the collusion with the people in the government, is this kind of sign interpreting that Qiu Qi and Tonghua are related to the child loss cases in these counties?" ”

When discussing the case with his senior brother and wife, Gu Feng decided that regardless of whether the double corpse case was related to the child loss case, they would all be investigated together.

"Sir! There are no clues for the time being, we might as well wait for the rabbit and waste time from Cheng Sanqiu's line. Jade Fox said that this coincides with Gu Feng's thoughts.

Therefore, more people were sent to nearby counties to find and monitor Cheng Sanqiu. It didn't take much effort to find it, and it was only a few days before someone found Cheng Da Fat in Langqian County.

Just when Gu Feng was making every effort to solve the double corpse case and the lost child case of Qiu Qi and his wife, Gao Cai Zhizhou sent someone to send an urgent official letter, and the messengers were Jiang Hua and Cheng Yi.

An official document from Kochi Prefecture was sent from Futai, ordering Gu Feng to suspend all the affairs at hand and make every effort to organize armed forces to join forces with neighboring counties to intercept and eliminate a large Miao rebellion that had entered Langzhou from the southwest.

"Thousands of people have entered the border of Langzhou?"

"Hmm-"

This really makes Gu Feng unbelievable, the war to pacify Dongmiao Ganba Pig has just ended, where do these Dongmiao people still have the strength to rebel again?

Military orders are like mountains, and it is obvious that Gao Cai does not want to apply for the transfer of troops, which is not beneficial to others or himself. Gao Cai thought of the local army in his jurisdiction, it is still beneficial and harmless to use these people, and Zhizhou should not pay a penny.

Gu Feng did not dare to slack off, and immediately ordered the mobilization of the regimental joint camp in Langzhong and Langhou counties, and now there are 1,500 people. He also recruited some servants, fast catchers, family members, darts and so on, and soon Gufeng had an army of 2,000 people, and his combat effectiveness was not very weak.
