Because Zhou Laohan wants to overturn the case, he has just been to Yamen, and the neighbors have been paying attention.

Seeing Che Zhengting going out, he was looking left and right, not daring to step forward to ask about the situation, after all, this was the guard next to the county lord.

Che Zhengting was born and serious, and he usually looked like a piece of wood.

It wasn't until later that I saw him buy big bags and small bags of things and come back, they were all daily necessities, and such a cold guard would go grocery shopping?

In addition, an old woman in the alley seemed to be slipping because of ice and snow, Che Zhengting just walked to the side, and she was quickly helped in time.

The old woman was very grateful, and the neighbors next to her also saw it and came out one after another.

The gossip began.

When he spoke, he found that Che Zhengting, the little brother, didn't look serious, but he was kind-hearted and didn't have the frame of an official master.

As a result, everyone's mentality relaxed.

"Little brother, did you buy these things for Zhou Laohan?"

Che Zhengting replied, "Yes, Daddy Zhou's family is now surrounded by walls, and his life is difficult, we adults are sympathetic to the people, let me take care of Daddy Zhou's life." ”

"Huh? This new county lord is really a bodhisattva! If it can last a long time, it will be a blessing for our cold city. ”

"Well, I hope so."

……

Immediately after that, everyone asked about the case that was retried today.

Che Zhengting said everything he could say, and then inquired about the situation in Zhou Laohan's family.

"Uncles and aunts, how is Xiaochai's usual temperament that week?"

An eldest lady sighed and replied, "Xiao Chai, this child I watched grow up, he is very honest, kind-hearted, diligent in his hands and feet, he talks little, he is honest, he is a good child......"

"Does he have a gambling habit?"

Another uncle said, "No, how can there be!" Xiao Chai of the Zhou family is honest, diligent and diligent, but his father is a little spoiled, after all, he is an old man, and his mother died early, it is not easy to pull him, Xiao Chai has a little temper, and often quarrels with his father or something, but he has absolutely no habit of gambling......"

"Yes, yes, a few of us old people sometimes play a leaf card or something, ask him to come and make a corner, and he won't play. Xiao Chai was pulled to gamble, passing through the door of the gambling house, the people in the gambling encouraged him to go in, I saw it that day, he just quarreled with his father a few words, others pulled, he got angry and went in, turned around, and said that the field was lost. ”

"Alas, this is obviously a cage! Later, Zhou Laohan refused to give Tian property, and their gambling house sent people to the door every day to make trouble, and if they didn't give it again, they turned around and sent Zhou Xiaochai to the yamen, and froze people to death! Like a vampire, people don't let go of death, and when they see Tian'er coming to ask for land, they just have to enter the door and rob it......"

"It's not that he hasn't robbed it, it's that Zhou Laohan had the foresight to hide all the land contracts, and he can't let them find them if he dies, but it's useless! He's dead, isn't this property someone else's? You don't have to ask for it, just go and take over......"

……

Everyone was gossiping, and Che Zhengting understood it clearly.

Zhou Xiaochai is not a good gambler, and the number of times he enters the gambling house is only that one.

If you come out, you will lose the field, and this is a game that someone has done well in advance.

Keep an eye on the old man's field last week.

Che Zhengting knew it in his heart.

thanked the uncle and aunt and went back to take care of Zhou Laohan.

***

A day passed, and Yu Bantou did not find anyone.

Liao Qing is not too anxious, Zhou Xiaochai's matter has passed through the hands of many people, and he doesn't believe that he can't find other clues, but it's just in the long term of Zhang Zhu's book

Under the threat, everyone is reluctant to speak.

Take the gambling house as an example, Liao Qing once asked Yu Bantou and others whether Boss Bao had colluded with Master Zhang?

Yu Bantou's answer was that he had vaguely heard of it, but Zhang Zhushu has always done things safely, or secretly, and will not put some things on the surface, as long as it is something that may violate the law, it is instructed to do it by his cronies, and it is difficult for outsiders to know the inside story, so everyone has some speculation about this and cannot be sure.

If you want to say that the person who is most likely to know about this matter should be his henchman Zhao Zhutou.

Liao Qing nodded silently.

It also makes sense.

If Master Zhang is arrogant and oppressive all day long, making people angry and resentful, I am afraid that he will not be able to sit still in the cold city for so long.

This is an old fox!

And a little bit of a means.

In short, the source of everything is from Master Zhang.

Without this person, nothing else is a big problem.

Therefore, for the person Zhang Zhushu, Liao Qing must be brought down, and if it is the worst, he must be driven away and driven far away.

Otherwise, he would not be able to do anything in the cold city.

The next day, there was still no trace of Zhao Zhutou.

Liao Qing also knows that this is actually due to the lack of manpower.

Although some people came back one after another under his deadline notice, they were still very few, not even half of them were reached, and this was still counting the dozen or so people who had been left before.

All day, he stayed in the yamen, looking through the files.

As a parent official of a county, it is the most important thing to be familiar with the situation in this county, otherwise you will not be able to figure out anything. As for Zhou Xiaochai's case, although it is also important, in the final analysis, it is a major civil case to criminal case, and as the lord of a county, he can't just care about this one.

On this day, Xu Jiaojiao was not idle, and took Mo'er and Sanya to tidy up the inner house.

Master Ji Fu walked around in disguise to inspect the people's situation.

None of them were idle, they were all busy.

On the morning of the third day, an invitation was handed over.

The content is a banquet for the county lord, sent by a person named Qian Mangong, and the guest indicated that it was all the squires, but there were also a few named people, clearly written on the invitation, Qian Mangong was in the lead, and there were several names behind it.

Liao Qing glanced at it and put it on the table casually, "What is the origin of this surname Qian?" ”

Early in the morning, no one had gone out yet, Master Ji picked up the invitation and glanced at it, and said: "It is said that in addition to opening the main book, Hancheng has Zhao, Qian, Sun, and Li Si. ”

Yu Bantou had just arrived, and said: "These four families are indeed relatively famous in Hancheng, among them, the two surnamed Qian and the surname Zhao have a good relationship with the main book, and the relationship between the Sun family and the Li family is average." ”

The Qian family has a lot of industries, and because they have an in-law relationship with Zhang Zhuji, the two families have always been in close contact.

The ancestors of the Zhao family lived in Hancheng, they used to be big families, and they had been big officials, just because their homeland was difficult to leave, and they have been following in Hancheng for many years.
