Qingyuan County, Shen House.

Shen Yunshan paced back and forth in the reception hall in the front yard uneasily, he never expected that Yang He would let those gardeners go so easily, which made him a little unbreathable for a while, and the glimmer of expectation that had finally risen in his heart came to naught.

As far as Shen Yunshan knew, Li Hongyu and Zhao Xin had already found a lot of clues, but now they had made those gardeners retreat, which made him suspect that the two had no intention of investigating the case, which made Shen Shaoqiang unable to clear up his grievances.

"Big brother, the magistrate is invited." Just when Shen Yunshan was nervous in his heart, Shen Yunyu walked in quickly from outside the door and said urgently.

"Hmph, I'm going to look for him to see how he can give me an explanation." Shen Yunshan sneered when he heard this, and walked towards the door, he wanted to see what kind of medicine was sold in Yang He's gourd.

When Shen Yunshan rushed to the back hall of the county government in a huff, he found that Master Zhang was already there, chatting with Yang He while drinking tea.

"Lord Zhixian, I don't know what happened when I came down?" Shen Yunshan was slightly stunned when he saw this, and then quietly saluted Yang He.

"Brother Shen, Brother Zhang, the reason why the county invited the two of them today is because there is something to inform the two of you."

Yang He made a gesture of invitation to Shen Yunshan and asked him to sit down on the seat opposite Master Zhang, and then glanced at the two of them and said in a deep voice, "Two, the county already has a clue about the bloody case of Zhang's mansion, and before tomorrow, I can give you a satisfactory answer, and before that, please stay in the county government for the time being." ”

"My lord, can you clear the case before tomorrow?" Master Zhang's face suddenly turned happy when he heard this, and he hurriedly asked in a deep voice, in his opinion, since those gardeners have been released, Shen Shaoqiang is undoubtedly the murderer.

Shen Yunshan's face turned pale in an instant, and he looked at Yang He with a shocked expression, just like Master Zhang, he also realized that Shen Shaoqiang was going to be unlucky.

"This official is ninety percent sure that the case can be closed tomorrow." Yang He noticed the change in the expressions on Shen Yunshan and Master Zhang's faces, so he smiled slightly and said, "It's inconvenient for this county to disclose the facts of the case, the only thing I can tell the two of you is that you don't need to be nervous, just wait and see." ”

Shen Yunshan and Master Zhang's brows suddenly furrowed slightly when they heard this, Yang He's words did not reveal any useful information, which seemed a little unfathomable, and the two of them couldn't guess what kind of medicine he was selling in the gourd.

Although he was puzzled in his heart, Yang He had already opened his mouth, so Shen Yunshan and Master Zhang could only press the doubts in their hearts to see what Yang He was doing.

At dusk, at the foot of a remote mountain outside Meng Shi's village, Li Hongyu and Zhao Xin sat on a big rock and talked softly, while a group of big men in civilian clothes stood not far away.

"Li Xie Yuan, Zhao Yayuan, this is a food box sent from the county restaurant, the two masters eat it while it's hot." Not long after, a big man came over with a food box and said to Li Hongyu and Zhao Xin on a flat hill on the side.

"Luo Bantou, I have worked hard for you this time, and when the case is over, I will definitely report to Yang Zhixian, and let the magistrate reward the meritorious people this time." Li Hongyu smiled at the big man and said, "Come, let's eat together." ”

"Li Jieyuan, the little one is with the brothers, so I won't bother Li Jieyuan and Zhao Yayuan to discuss the matter." Luo Bantou smiled when he heard this, bowed to Li Hongyu and left.

He is not the head of the county government of Qingyuan County, but the head of the arrest team of the Taiyuan government office, and he has asked Yang He to recruit and transfer personnel from the government office before Li Hongyu promised Yang He to try the case, after all, the county government officials are too familiar with the Zhang family and the Shen family, and it is easy to leak secrets when used, so it is safer to transfer people from other places.

After Luo Bantou left, Li Hongyu opened the food box and took out the food, and chatted with Zhao Xin about the case while eating, tonight will be the night of the decisive battle with Meng Shi, Meng Shi could not have imagined that the reason why Li Hongyu let him go was not because of the gambling contract with Yang He, but because he wanted to capture him and win by surprise.

The night was dark, and the noisy village gradually fell silent, Li Hongyu and Zhao Xin stood outside the village with serious expressions, looking at the village shrouded in silence, and the starlight in the sky poured on the two of them, shining with a cold light.

Behind the two of them, Luo Bantou and the other officials who had rushed from the Taiyuan Mansion stood there silently, they naturally knew that the case of Miss Zhang's murder was very important, otherwise they would not have been sent here by the prefect, so no one dared to be careless.

"Brother Li, the time is almost up." After a while, Zhao Xin looked up at the stars in the sky and said to Li Hongyu in a deep voice.

"Luo Bantou, you can do it, fight quickly, don't entangle with the people in the village, and don't hurt people." Li Hongyu bowed slightly, then turned around and said in a deep voice to Luo Bantou behind him.

"Li Jieyuan rest assured, the small ones have their own proportions." Hearing this, Luo Bantou bowed to Li Hongyu, and then waved to the servants behind him, half of the officers took out black scarves and covered their faces like him, and strode towards the village under the leadership of Luo Bantou.

Li Hongyu and Zhao Xin stood there looking at the figures of Luo Bantou and others who disappeared into the night with serious expressions, and soon, there were dogs barking one after another in the village, and it was obvious that Luo Bantou and they had alarmed the dogs in the village.

Under the gaze of Li Hongyu and Zhao Xin, the village gradually became bright, and the barking of dogs alarmed the people in the house, causing them to light the lamps to check.

Then, there was a faint noise in the village, and Li Hongyu and Zhao Xin's brows furrowed in unison, it seems that Luo Bantou and they have already made a move on the target, hoping that they will not hurt anyone.

It didn't take long for the sound of messy footsteps to be heard at the entrance of the village, and a group of black shadows ran out of the village at a rapid pace, followed by a noisy shout, and many people chased after them with torches.

"Ready to leave!" Li Hongyu couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief when he saw this, judging from the situation in front of him, Luo Bantou had already succeeded, so he asked the remaining servants in a deep voice.

When the servants heard this, they did not dare to be careless, so they hurriedly brought the carriage and horses, and prepared to leave here, waiting for the first person to arrive.

It didn't take long for the group of figures to rush in front of Li Hongyu, and it was really Luo Ban and the first person, but there was an extra person in the team wearing a hood and being tied up by five flowers, carried by several panting officers, who were struggling desperately there, making a whining sound in their mouths, as if something was stuffed in their mouths.

"That's it!" Luo Bantou pulled down the mask on his face, glanced at the man wearing the hood, and whispered to Li Hongyu quietly.

Li Hongyu nodded when he heard this, waved his head to Luo Ban, and everyone got on the horses and carriages parked there one after another, and disappeared into the night with a puff of smoke.

Soon after, the group of people with torches chased after them, they were villagers in the village, holding hoes and shovels and other things, watching Li Hongyu and his party disappear into the night, they naturally couldn't catch up with the four-legged horses.

Li Hongyu and the others galloped all the way, and soon came to the county seat, and the leader of the soldiers on duty on the city gate tower hurriedly ordered the city gate to be opened and let them in, and then closed the city gate again.

For tonight's big drama, Li Hongyu can be said to have mobilized all the forces he can to ensure the smooth implementation of the plan.

Li Hongyu did not go to the county office, but went to a warehouse in the city and asked Luo Bantou to bring Meng Shi into one of the warehouses.

"Is the plan clear?" Before entering the warehouse, Li Hongyu asked in a low voice, because of the importance of the matter, he did not dare to relax in the slightest.

"Li Jieyuan rest assured, the small ones have been written down, and Meng Shi will definitely be settled for you." Luo Bantou smiled slightly when he heard this, and said confidently, he has been on an errand in the government for many years, and acting on the scene is a piece of cake for him.

Li Hongyu breathed a sigh of relief, entered the warehouse with Zhao Xin, and hid behind a pile of goods after glancing at Meng Shi who was hanging on the beam, ready to enjoy the next good show.

"Take off his hood!" Luo Bantou followed Li Hongyu and Zhao Xin into the warehouse, and went straight to Meng Shi, who was hanging, and commanded.

A big man immediately stepped up and ripped off Meng Shi's hood and the rags in his mouth.

"Who are you?" Meng Shi glanced around, and found that he was in a warehouse, and there was a group of big men with indifferent expressions standing around him, and he suddenly felt a burst of horror, and hurriedly looked at Luo Bantou who was standing in front of him and asked, Obviously, this group of people who robbed themselves from their homes are not good.

"Say, didn't you kill Miss Zhang." At this time, a big man standing beside Luo Bantou pointed at Meng Shi and asked in a deep voice.

Meng Shi felt that this big man was a little familiar, and then his face suddenly changed, he remembered, he had seen this person in front of the gate of the county government jail this morning, when a group of Shen family members wanted to find trouble but were blocked back by the messengers who maintained order on the spot, and this big man was the one who took the lead, and he remembered this vividly.

It seems that the people who kidnapped him were the descendants of the Shen family, which made Meng Shi's heart can't help but rise, after he came out, he learned a lot of news from the outside world, knowing that Li Hongyu and Zhao Xin suspected him of being the murderer, and most importantly, suspected that the person who slept in the grass shed on the night of the crime was not him.

However, it is obvious that Li Hongyu and Zhao Xin could not find who replaced him in the grass shed, and because the time was tight and it was not good to use heavy punishment against him, so as not to cause future troubles, so they had to let him go.

But the Shen family can't manage so much, Shen Shaoqiang is still in prison now, and the people of the Shen family can do anything to save him, and they will definitely come to him for trouble.

"I didn't kill the person, you found the wrong person." Of course, Meng Shi would not admit to the murder, so he hurriedly shouted to Luo Bantou, and he realized that this person was the leader of this group.

"Didn't you kill it, did our young master kill it?" At this time, the big man from before sneered and said, "Don't think that we don't know, Li Jieyuan and Zhao Yayuan have already found out that you are the murderer, but they have to let you go because they haven't found evidence yet, we won't be as gentle as the two masters, if you don't confess, don't blame us for being polite." ”

"This uncle, you are really mistaken, I really have nothing to do with this case." Meng Shi's face changed, and then he said in a panic.

"It doesn't matter if it's not, as long as you take your confession, then my young master can come out of prison." Luo Bantou sneered, took out a piece of paper full of words from his chest, handed it to a big man next to him, and instructed in a deep voice, "Go, let him put his fingerprint on this confession." ”

Hearing this, the big man took the piece of paper and ran to Meng Shi, with the help of the two big men, he broke Meng Shi's clenched fist, pulled his thumb and dipped it in ink, and pressed the handprint on the paper.
