"Oh, you're Zongjicai,"

Manager Zhao looked at him a few times and said,

"This one is from the Yamen of Liaodong County, and he said that he had something to take you out for a few days...... Oh, by the way, how many days? ”

Speaking of this, Manager Zhao remembered this question, turned to Zong Jiyuan again, and asked.

Zong Jiyuan thought for a while and said,

"It takes about three days to come and go."

"Then give you four days,"

This manager Zhao is really a very cheerful person, and he made a decision immediately.

"In this case, leave some time to spare, and save yourself from being busy chattering, just send him back on the fifth day."

"Xiao Sheng thanked Mr. Zhao here."

Zong Jiyuan still thanked him very respectfully, but he didn't look at Zong Jicai.

Manager Zhao waved his hand, and asked the guards next to him to open the heavy handcuffs on Zong Jicai's body, and said,

"I'll leave this kid to you."

"Okay, then, Xiaosheng will leave."

Zong Jiyuan got up, arched his hand to Chief Zhao, and motioned for Wang Yu to take Zong Jicai with him, and walked out of the quarry together.

After leaving from there and walking out of a distance, Zong Jiyuan stopped, looked back at the clan brother in front of him, and saw that his face was darker than before, although he was still so thin, but his muscles and bones seemed a little stronger, until Zong Ji was a little weaker by her, and then said slowly,

"How are you doing, are you okay?"

"How can it be good,"

Zong Jicai smiled bitterly and shook his head, but looked up at her again and said,

"But it's better than losing your life, so that although you are tired and suffer some crimes, you are still alive after all...... After two years have passed, I have to be a good man......"

"I wish you were speaking from the heart,"

Zong Jiyuan smiled lightly and said,

"But now there is an opportunity for you to make meritorious contributions, if you can grasp it, I promise you that you can reduce the period of hard labor to one year, what do you think?"

"Is this true?!"

When Zong Ji heard this, he was so surprised that he couldn't even close his mouth, he really never dreamed that there would be such a good thing, he was stunned for a moment, and suddenly fell on the ground and cried bitterly,

"Thank you, I know you're helping me...... Brother, I will definitely do what you have given me......"

"Alright, get up,"

Looking at the other party's appearance, Zong Jiyuan really couldn't cry or laugh, stretched out his hand and pulled him up from the ground, and said,

"It's not me helping you, it's you helping yourself, how about it, can you walk?"

"What's a little bit of walking compared to working in the quarry every day, where are we going?"

Zong Jicai wiped his tears, looked around, and asked.

Seeing that he had calmed down, Zong Jiyuan said,

"You follow me back to the county office for the time being, and after you rest for the night, I'll tell you what you need to do."

"Okay, I'll do what you tell me."

Zong Jicai nodded again and again.

This matter is done, Zong Jiyuan can be regarded as having completed one of the plans, if those two people are really "Lin Shiming", although they can't find out the ongoing conspiracy, they can be regarded as sorting out a clue.

When he returned to the county office, he arranged for Zongji to rest first, and found a suitable dress for him to change into, and of course, it was indispensable to let the servants look at him for a while, and then he came to report to Lord He and ask for instructions.

At this time, He Ruichang had already heard Diao Sanlang's reply, and also learned that the recent cases involved a wide range of cases, and even involved neighboring counties, so when he saw Zong Jiyuan coming, he couldn't wait to ask,

"Ji Yuan, what the hell is going on? What's going on? ”

"My lord, according to the students, this is a serial murder case that has been going on for a while,"

Sitting down at the head of He Ruichang, Zong Jiyuan said,

"From the previous year, the eldest brother of the Hu family was killed, the abduction of the full house, and the later June Hong's abduction and even murder, and the murder of her husband Feng Jiu, these are not independent cases, they are connected by a certain conspiracy, and they happen one after another."

"Really? But what is the purpose of all this? ”

He Ruichang's face was very serious, after all, as a parent official, such a major case would happen under his rule, of course he couldn't sit here peacefully, so he asked very anxiously.

Zong Jiyuan thought about it again and said,

"What is the conspiracy behind this, the students can't guess it for the time being, but the students speculate that the person killed in the two murders in Anping County is likely to be the person who once instigated Zong Jicai to go to the Hu family to make trouble and secretly killed the eldest brother of the Hu family, that is, one of the real murderers who claimed to be called 'Lin Shiming'. Therefore, the student plans to take Zongji to Anping County early tomorrow morning to identify it, and now I have come to ask you for instructions. ”

"Oh, what else do you ask for such a thing, Ji Yuan, you can go and handle it,"

When He Ruichang heard this, his face gradually soothed, and he smiled slightly,

"If Zong Jicai can really help in this matter, of course he can be appropriately tolerant, and you can be in charge of this."

"Thank you, sir."

After getting the affirmation of the adults, Zong Jiyuan's heart was naturally a lot easier, after all, Zong Jiyuan had a special relationship with himself, and it was not good to take the initiative to reduce his guilt. But right now, the adult has already mentioned this matter first, and Zong Jiyuan really thanked the adult from the bottom of his heart.

Early the next morning, Zong Jiyuan and Wang Yu, accompanied by Lu Hong, Ke Yi and other seven messengers, took Zong Jicai and Zheng Youyi out of the city and came straight to Anping County.

Just after breakfast, Zong Jiyuan had already told him the details of the matter, and told Zong Jicai that the real murderer of the eldest brother of the Hu family had been found, but he was killed, and now he needed to recognize the person. However, Zong Jiyuan also made it very clear to him, he must take a closer look, whether it is the "Lin Shiming" he knows, and don't be perfunctory because he wants to reduce the duration of hard labor, Zong Jicai also nodded again and again, indicating that he understood.

Everyone walked quickly and slowly, just after noon, the day was about to expire, and the group rushed to the county office of Anping County.

Zheng Youyi got off the horse first and led the way in front, Zong Jiyuan asked Lu Hong and Ke Yi to take Zong Jicai to the side to rest, and he and Wang Yu followed Zheng Youyi to the lobby to meet Lord Shi, the county commander.

Knowing that this county lord of Anping County is a jinshi at the same time as his own Lord He, and the relationship has always been very good, so Zong Jiyuan really wants to meet him.

However, when I met and found that Master Shi was much older than He Ruichang, not to mention that he was over ten years old, he was born with a smile and a face full of kindness When he saw Zongji Yuan courtesy himself, he hurriedly held her up, and said,

"The great name of the grandmaster and the official have also heard of it, Lord He has such a young and promising subordinate, it really makes the official envious, hahaha......"
