When the words landed, two burly men dressed in the uniforms of government soldiers escorted a middle-aged clerk into the lobby.

Fang Haoran heard the prestige, the middle-aged writer was beardless, dressed in a cloth robe, full of bookish atmosphere, only the pair of horizontal eyebrows destroyed the harmony of the picture.

The middle-aged clerk walked into the lobby with a figure-eight step, and the two government soldiers behind him wanted to follow up, but were stopped by Fenghua.

"The lobby is heavy, and no one is allowed to bring weapons inside."

The two government soldiers snorted coldly and glared at Fenghua.

Fenghua held the horizontal knife in his hand, stared at the two government soldiers, and did not back down a step.

Seeing this, the middle-aged clerk waved his hand and said, "You guys are waiting outside, and the master book will recruit you again." ”

The two government soldiers glared at Fenghua again, and then bowed down and said, "Yes!" ”

The middle-aged clerk entered the lobby, and before he could speak, he heard Feng Hui frowning and said, "Shen Wenlin, why don't you stay in the prison mansion and go to the county hall to do something." ”

Shen Wenlin? Surname Shen! Thinking of a government soldier who broke into Fang's Mansion at night, Fang Haoran knew that this matter was not simple.

Shen Wenlin stepped forward and arched his hand: "Shen Wenlin, the chief secretary of the Pizhou Supervision Military Mansion, has seen Fengzhi County. ”

Shen Wenlin, the master of the Prison Military Mansion, doesn't even have a grade, and Feng Hui is from the Seventh Rank Xinping Zhi County, which is the same level as the Supervisor of the Military Mansion, Shen Wenlin doesn't dare to put up a stand in front of Feng Hui.

Fenghui looked at Shen Wenlin like a fly, "If you have something to say, get out of the way if you have nothing to do, don't delay the county to judge the case." ”

Since the past dynasties, the civil and military have been fighting fiercely, especially after the opening of the martial arts and liberal arts in this dynasty, the camp of civil officials and military generals has been more obvious. Fenghui was very disdainful of Shen Wenlin, a scholar, who went to work in the prison military mansion, so he didn't want to see him.

Shen Wenlin glanced at Fang Haoran intentionally or unintentionally, and arched his hand to Fenghui: "Fengzhi County, I heard that there was a murder in Xinping County, which involved the soldiers of the prison army, and the lord of the prison army sent a small one to inquire. ”

Feng Hui raised his eyebrows, he had just finished inspecting the case and was about to announce the verdict, and the people from the Military Supervision Mansion came over, I'm afraid this matter is not so simple.

"Shen Wenlin, since you mentioned this matter, this county wants to ask, the dignified superintendent of the military and government soldiers, after nightfall, it is not good to stay in the camp of the superintendent army, wearing night clothes, sneaking into the homes of ordinary people to commit murder under the pretext of committing murder, when this county is a decoration."

"My lord is serious, after Shen heard about this, he specially investigated, and one of the soldiers of the prison army and government was indeed missing. Presumably this person was the one who broke into the house at night. Lord Feng is aware of everything, and everyone in Xinping City knows about it, so Lord Feng must have known the identity of this person. ”

Feng Hui's eyebrows furrowed, he really didn't know the true identity of the man in black, but with the existing evidence, he was able to prove that this person did trespass into a house after nightfall, and the case was decided as usual according to the laws of the Red Song Dynasty, and now listening to Shen Wenlin's words, could it be that this man in black has another identity?

"Fenghua!"

Fenghui had doubts, and hurriedly recruited Fenghua into the lobby, let Fenghua get closer, crawled in Fenghua's ear and muttered a few words, Fenghua immediately understood, and hurriedly ran to the Xinping County Ya Hall.

As soon as Fenghua left, Fenghui sat in the lobby and said in a deep voice: "The identity of the man in black will be found out by this county, but no matter what the identity of this person is, this county has the emperor's grace, and the law of our dynasty shall prevail, and the judgment will be Haoran..."

"The county is respectful and slow, and it is not too late to judge after finding out the identity of the man in black." Seeing that Feng Hui was about to judge Fang Haoran not guilty, Shen Wenlin stopped him.

Feng Hui stared at Shen Wenlin coldly, and said coldly: "Shen Wenlin, are you going to teach the county how to judge the case?" ”

Shen Wenlin shook his head and smiled, bowed slightly and said: "Shen doesn't dare, it's just that the cause and effect have not been ascertained at this time, and the motive of the man in black entering the Fang Mansion at night has not been investigated, so the case is hastily closed, I'm afraid it's not appropriate." ”

"Humph!" Feng Hui snorted coldly, "Shen Wenlin, this county will let you lose a convincing mouth." ”

Shen Wenlin smiled but did not speak, staring at Fenghui.

After a moment, Fenghui turned his head away and said nothing.

Only then did Shen Wenlin look at Fang Haoran again, "You are Fang Haoran?" ”

Fang Haoran raised his head, staring at Shen Wenlin without fear, when Fenghui called out Shen Wenlin's identity, Fang Haoran guessed that the incident of the man in black breaking into Fang's mansion at night last night must be related to Shen Wenlin.

"I am Fang Haoran!"

Shen Wenlin smiled coldly, "At a young age, domineering, and unscrupulous, you must know that the person you offend is the one you can offend?" ”

Fang Haoran smiled calmly, at this moment, all the mustard in his heart after killing people dissipated, in the face of these shameless faces, oppressing people's faces with power, even if it was a thousand times, it would not be too much.

"Insist that the green mountains are not relaxed, and the roots are in the broken rocks; Thousands of blows are still strong, and the wind blows from east to west, north and south. I walk right, sit upright, why be afraid? ”

Fang Haoran's words were generous and powerful, his eyes stared at Shen Wenlin, bursting out with dazzling sparks.

"Good! Good! I never thought that a young man like you could appear in Xinping County. Feng Hui was pushed by Shen Wenlin just now, and now as soon as Fang Haoran's words came out, Feng Hui felt comfortable listening to it.

Shen Wenlin's face turned pale, and he scolded angrily: "Huangkou Xiaoer, don't measure yourself. ”

Fang Haoran still wanted to ridicule him, but he saw Fenghua hurriedly coming in from outside the door, and he should have verified the identity of the man in black.

"Fenghua, how is the verification?" Fenghui was in a happy mood, and when he saw Fenghua coming in, he hurriedly beckoned Fenghua over and asked loudly.

Fenghua bowed down and said: "Lord Qiyu, the humble position has been verified, and the black-clothed man's name is Xu Qing, and he is from Lin'an Mansion. ”

"Hmph~"

Shen Wenlin snorted coldly, with a sarcastic expression.

Feng Hui raised his eyebrows and asked, "What else?" ”

Fenghua glanced left and right, and said in a deep voice: "Then Xu Qing is currently the guard of the left army of the Pizhou Supervisory Military Mansion. ”

Feng Hui's brows furrowed even tighter, because he knew that these were not the point, and the point would definitely be later. There must be some identity on the man in black that Shen Wenlin relied on, otherwise Shen Wenlin would not have been able to run to Xinping County.

"Xu Qing's news is gone. However, he found out the news of Xu Qing's cousin. ”

Fenghui pricked up his ears and asked, "Who is his cousin?" ”

Fenghua said in a low voice: "Xu Jie, the superintendent of Pizhou! ”

Hiss~

No wonder Shen Wenlin is so arrogant, it turns out that the man in black, Xu Qing, is the cousin of Xu Jie, the superintendent of Pizhou.

This matter actually involved Xu Jie, the superintendent of Pizhou, so the situation was different.

Fenghui is not afraid of Xu Jie, because the two of them are of the same level, and they belong to two different yamen of the Ministry of War and the Ministry of Officials, even if there is trouble, he is not afraid of Xu Jie.

It's just that if the two of them fight and have a civil and military disagreement, it will definitely affect his reputation and career.

Xu Jie is a military general, and his promotion and fortune depend on the suppression of bandits, and he doesn't need to pay attention to the impact of wind reviews. He is a civil official, and the promotion of civil officials depends on political performance and reputation, in fact, sometimes wind evaluation is more important than political performance.

Xinping County is located in the northwest of the Chisong Dynasty, it can be said that the mountain is high and the emperor is far away, and if he really wants to do something, the bigwigs in the capital can't see it, all they can hear is some wind comments.

The bigwigs are not stupid, but a very shrewd bunch. Wind evaluation is a kind of voice fed back to the court by the people, whether an official will be an official, whether he can be a good official, you can see one or two from the people's wind evaluation.

Of course, it is not excluded that those officials who brush up their prestige. For these officials, the bigwigs also turn a blind eye, because the official who can brush up his reputation is not necessarily a good parent official who asks for the people's life, but he must be an obedient and good subordinate, and these people are also worthy of promotion.

Fang Haoran's heart was also up and down at the moment, and it suddenly broke out that the man in black was the cousin of Xu Jie, the military supervisor of Pizhou, which made him feel a little wary in his heart.

As the saying goes, officials protect each other, in case Fenghui of Xinping Zhixian County convicts himself of murder in order to give Xu Jie a face, what should it be?

Fang Haoran began to deduce in his mind, all this should be Shen Wenlin's poisonous plan, it is very likely that Shen Wenlin secretly investigated the Fang Mansion, and then found out that the Fang Mansion sold the Fire Burning Cloud, and then encouraged Xu Qing, the cousin of Xu Jie, the Prison Military Mansion of Pizhou, to visit the Fang Mansion at night to find out the secret of the Fire Burning Cloud.

This plan is a win-win plan for Shen Wenlin, if Xu Qing is not discovered, then Shen Wenlin will be able to get the money-collecting machine of Huoyun through Xu Qing. If Xu Qing is discovered, then Xu Qing will riot and kill the people of the Fang Mansion, and when the time comes, there will be a prison army mansion to cover it, and the people of the Fang Mansion will die in vain.

The only thing he didn't calculate was that Fang Haoran was at home, and Fang Haoran's kung fu was one line higher than Xu Qing's, so he actually killed Xu Qing on the spot.

In fact, things are more than that, since Fang Haoran was admitted to the Xinping Martial Arts Academy, Shen Lin's family has been blowing the pillow wind by Shen Wenlin's side all day long. Shen Wenlin found the Xinping Martial Arts Academy once, and reported to a steward in the Xinping Martial Arts Academy that Fang Haoran was likely to cheat and be admitted to the Xinping Martial Academy, but this matter seemed to be suppressed in the end, and then it was over.

Shen Wenlin didn't dare to go to the Xinping Martial Arts Academy to ask, although the Xinping Martial Arts Academy was not a yamen, but there were many fierce people in the Xinping Martial Academy. Some of these people are retired officials, and there are also some people who are unwilling to become officials in the court, but they have meritorious fame. The strength of these people alone is enough to despise the entire Bizhou Prison Military Mansion, not to mention the power behind these people.

Therefore, Shen Wenlin could only find another way to find trouble with the Fang Mansion.

Coincidentally, Shen Wenlin noticed the burning cloud when he was having dinner with his colleagues in Hongde Building, and learned from his wife that the Fang family, who was poor before, seemed to have made a fortune recently. So Shen Wenlin sent someone to monitor the guys in Hongde Building, and finally confirmed that the fire cloud was from the Fang Mansion.

Faced with the money-collecting machine of Huozhuoyun, Shen Wenlin naturally refused to let go, so he instigated Xu Qing to go to the Fang Mansion at night.
