Zhao Xuance returned to Suzhou, thinking that Qi Zhen's actions had successfully affected Suzhou Mansion, so that he finally did not have to bear the pressure of clearing the Mulberry Snake in Yuemeng Mountain.

Liao Xunli thought that Zhao Xuance had come back because Suzhou Mansion Yin had finally received instructions from Qin Cha to arrive in Suzhou immediately.

However, neither of them guessed correctly.

But when Zhao Xuance saw Suzhou Mansion Yin, he had already guessed it.

"Xuan Ce, the festival mourns and changes."

Liu Fang walked down the hall, took Zhao Xuance's hand, and said bitterly.

"My lord, what are you ......" Zhao Xuance knew, and he needed to ask knowingly at this time.

The relationship between the shopkeeper of the clothing shop and Zhao Xuance, Liu Fang naturally knows.

Not only that, Liu Fang also knew that the shopkeeper of the Garment Workshop collected Yuemeng silk at the beginning, and he took the path of this younger brother.

Back on the day when the Suzhou Mansion began to line up to file a complaint, the first case was not a case of stealing chickens.

Instead, the exterior wall in front of the house was splashed with red paint.

The most effective catcher under his command is naturally not to go to any other person's house to investigate the smashing matter.

When it comes to the face of the court, it is naturally the top priority.

Since it was a joint investigation, it was natural to find Yiyuanzhai.

Then it is natural to sort out the social relations of Yiyuanzhai.

So I found the clothing shop.

The clothing workshop and Yiyuanzhai are competitors in the Suzhou embroidery competition, not to mention the officials of Suzhou Prefecture, I am afraid that the whole city knows it.

Because the tribute for the first place in the Suzhou embroidery competition will be sent to the palace.

However, what everyone does not know very well, the embroidery of the second place will be sent to the yamen of the governor's palace.

What is the concept of a governor? A first-class official, a feudal official, and must be a close confidant of His Majesty.

The so-called county officials are not as good as the current management, which is also a very honorable thing.

After finding the garment shop, Lord Liu Fang sensitively discovered the unusualness, and he specially instructed his subordinates not to come to the door as an official, but to investigate the situation in the form of an unannounced visit.

Who knew that there was no one in the house.

I asked the neighbors left and right, and learned that no one had entered or left the shopkeeper's house.

When I returned to the garment shop, I found that the garment shop had not opened the day before.

Under normal circumstances, the garment shop picks up the goods twice a month, and now it is not time to pick up the goods, so where did the shopkeeper go?

I went to the private school of the shopkeeper's son, and the shopkeeper's son's husband also said that he thought he was sick, so he didn't pay too much attention to it.

Catching fast is a character who has become a fine character, of course, at this time, he already feels that something is wrong, so he is about to break in, but at this time he finds that the street door of the shopkeeper's house is not locked, and he hurriedly leads his subordinates to break into the shopkeeper's house.

The result was not much different from the scene they saw, a family, lying together neatly.

The arrester quickly reported the matter to Liu Fang as soon as possible, and Liu Fang also felt that the matter was a little tricky, so he immediately sent a post-mortem officer.

The verdict of the shopkeeper was no different, the shopkeeper's family of four died of poisoning, and Liu Fang had a plan in his heart.

Then someone called Zhao Xuance back at this time.

Zhao Xuance's face was sad, even though he had heard the news from Qi Zhen, he couldn't help but feel sad when he heard it again.

It's not all acting.

"Lord Zhao, this is ......," Liao Xunli asked.

"The shopkeeper of that type of clothing shop is my brother." Zhao Xuance said sadly.

"Hey, that's really ......," Liao Xunli sighed.

"I wonder who did it?" Zhao Xuance asked knowingly.

"I'm afraid it's not human." Liao Xunli said at this time.

"Not necessarily, it's too hasty to jump to conclusions now." Liu Fang said slowly at this time.

"My lord, those mulberry snakes have a long-standing hatred for humans, and since they were poisoned and died, this matter must have been done by those beasts." Liao Xunli affirmed.

"But so far, we have not received any cases of the snake poisoning humans, and there has not been a single thing, how can we draw a hasty conclusion?" Liu Fang touched his beard.

"Then why not hurry up and continue the investigation?" Liao Xunli asked.

"Naturally, I checked it, so I didn't get Xuan Ce back until now." Liu Fang said.

"Oh?" Zhao Xuance frowned.

"The official found a secret passage leading to the rear office of your city patrol division, how do you explain it?" Liu Fang asked.

The matter of the secret passage, even Liu Fang was concealed to death, although he could understand Zhao Xuance's thoughts, but it was difficult to accept this deception.

Zhao Xuance knelt on one knee and clenched his fists without any explanation.

"Please forgive me!"

"Forget it, Siren is gone, and your loyalty to the court is well known, but don't do it again in the future." Liu Fang was very satisfied with Zhao Xuance's attitude and waved his hand.

"Lord Zhao, you have never told your subordinates about this." Liao Xunli said at this time.

Zhao Xuance lowered his head, and a hint of fierceness flashed in his eyes.

Liao Xunli didn't react when he saw him, turned his head to Liu Fang and said, "My lord, I'm afraid this matter is related to the foreigner who suddenly appeared in Suzhou Mansion that day. ”

Liu Fang was interested, and hurriedly asked Liao Xunli what the situation was.

"You better ask Lord Zhao, he has more contact with those outsiders." Liao Xunli looked at Zhao Xuance and said.

Zhao Xuance did not hide anything, and reported the matter to Liu Fang.

It's just that he concealed the matter of Yuemeng Mountain.

"It seems that these thieves came to the shopkeeper of the clothing shop through the secret passage and killed the family of four." Liao Xunli saw that Zhao Xuance had finished speaking, and added lightly, which can be regarded as a conclusion on the coffin.

Liu Fang was furious when he heard this, and immediately issued a wanted notice for Qi Zhen and the six people, and at this time, Li San, who had been wandering outside the team before, was naturally excluded.

After the murder of the shopkeeper of the clothing shop is over, the next thing is naturally the arrival of the Qin Cha and the current chaos in Suzhou City.

Since the Qincha is about to come to Suzhou, the matter of searching the mountains and catching snakes must also be accelerated, because within three days of the Qincha's arrival, the Suzhou embroidery conference must be held in Suzhou.

However, disturbing the chaos in Suzhou today, it is difficult for the government to free up manpower to go into the mountains to catch snakes.

Therefore, the rebellion with Suzhou was actually a matter of one and two.

Liao Xunli was very active in this matter, and it can almost be said that he was fanatical.

Liu Fang and Zhao Xuance both know why.

Liu Fang knew better, and Lord Qincha was going to come to Suzhou the next day.

The time is definitely not in time, so we must first maintain the security of Suzhou Prefecture.

And then we will talk.

On the one hand, Liao Xunli was excited that Lord Qincha would arrive immediately, because he knew which Lord had come to Suzhou City this time.

On the other hand, he was very annoyed that the snake catching work was progressing slowly, and he was pitiful that he was only an adjutant, if he could be the commander of the city patrol department, where would there be these troubles.

Then, there is always an agenda to be discussed.

When he left Suzhou Mansion, Zhao Xuance had no expression on his face, and Liao Xunli had a faint gloomy face.

Wine bag rice bag! What is the purpose of the imperial court raising you officials? How can those untouchables be as important as the affairs of the court?

Liao Xunli cursed Liu Fang and Zhao Xuance in his heart.

The City Patrol Division intensified its efforts to patrol the city, and announced the incident at the door of every wealthy shop, and a notice was also posted at the entrance of the government office.

Roughly speaking, someone stole the paper and ink from the paper shop and spread rumors, and the spreaders of these rumors have been imprisoned by the Suzhou government.

Order in Suzhou City was gradually restored, and the Suzhou government issued an official document on sea arrest, chasing down the suspects in major cases, Qi Zhen and six people, and those who provided clues would be rewarded.

Before sunset, the Suzhou government issued another announcement, and the next day the Lord Qincha arrived, and the whole city was under martial law......

In short, when Zhao Xuance raised his head from behind the bookcase of the Yamen of the City Patrol Division, it was already dark.

Relying on the manpower who came back from the support of Yuemeng Mountain, after a day of hard work, Suzhou City basically returned to normal order.

However, the successive announcements caught the people of the city a little off guard.

But fortunately, I believe that tomorrow the arrival of Lord Qincha should not go wrong.

When Zhao Xuance was thinking about these things, a voice suddenly sounded in Zhao Xuance's heart.

"Lord Zhao, please dismiss the left and right and open the door, let's talk."

It was Qi Zhen's voice.

Qi Zhen is now in the room, but the guards of the City Patrol Division at this time are different from before, and there are really a lot of guards, Qi Zhen is not sure that he can not alarm them to see Zhao Xuance, so he has to use this way.

But to tell the truth, Qi Zhen really liked the feeling of flying eaves and walking on the wall.

Zhao Xuance opened the door and walked outside the house, sent his subordinate soldiers away, and then returned to the house.

When Zhao Xuance returned to the house, Qi Zhen was already waiting for him inside.

The two looked at each other, and Zhao Xuance nodded at Qi Zhen.

"I suspect a person." Qi Zhen said straight to the point.

"I know, and I doubt him." Zhao Xuance said.

"You can kill him." Qi Zhen knew that Zhao Xuance had guessed something and expressed his opinion.

Zhao Xuance shook his head at this time.

Qi Zhen was stunned: "Why? ”

"I am an official of the imperial court, how can I careless of human life? And I have no proof. Zhao Xuance insisted.

"I'll do it." Qi Zhen said.

"Then I'll definitely arrest you." Zhao Xuance stared at Qi Zhen and said.

"But you don't have proof." Qi Zhen spread out her hand and said indifferently.

"You're in a hurry." Zhao Xuance said, with an undoubted affirmation in his tone.

"When you guessed that the murderer was a mulberry snake before, you didn't see Lord Zhao so indecisive." Qi Zhen did not answer Zhao Xuance's question directly, but said lightly.

"Of course, after all, they are some monsters, and now the target is the official of the imperial court, how can it be so?" Zhao Xuance said.

Qi Zhen nodded, he could understand Zhao Xuance's attitude at this time.

Zhao Xuance is an official of the imperial court, with a sense of responsibility and justice that is different from ordinary officials, and at the same time brave and courageous, and above board.

But no matter how ordinary he is, in the final analysis, he is still an ordinary person.

Ordinary people naturally hate monsters, and naturally pay attention to the rules, since they are people who have been impregnated in the big dye vat of the imperial examination, they naturally respect the laws of the imperial court, and their attitude towards people and demons naturally cannot be compared.

"But, Lord Zhao, I want to ask you, even if you really find evidence that he is the culprit of your brother's family, what can you do?" Qi Zhen asked this question from a different angle at this time.

"Naturally, sin is punished according to the law." Zhao Xuance's answer was categorical.

"But Lord Zhao, who will cure this crime?" Qi Zhen said softly.

Zhao Xuance was silent.

Qi Zhen knew that the heat was almost over, and the difficulty of this matter should be imaginable with Zhao Xuance's position.

"That's it, Lord Zhao, I just want a chance." Qi Zhen continued his "follow the good temptation".

"You haven't answered me yet, why are you in such a hurry." Zhao Xuance asked.

"I'm afraid it's too late." Qi Zhen replied.

There was another silence, Zhao Xuance lowered his head, knowing that what Qi Zhen said was not wrong, Lord Qincha was coming tomorrow, and tonight was even his last chance.

"So what are you going to do?" Zhao Xuance raised his head and asked.

Where is the shadow of Qi Zhen in front of him?
