Xiao Er was selling bedding to Bai Haohong, and before he finished speaking, he was interrupted by a cold voice: "Shut up!" ”

Lizi turned her head and saw a young swordsman standing not far away, although he was handsome, but his body exuded a murderous aura, and his cold eyes made people shudder a little, Lizi thought: "He must be Zhou Shande's 'Zhou Yixia'." ”

Liz guessed correctly, this person was Zhou Shande, and he was followed by Shopkeeper Liu. Shopkeeper Liu trotted two steps, came to Xiao Er's approach, and complained: "You have to sell these things to the object!" Lord Bai is young, has high martial arts, and has a good body, how can he want a 'golden gun that does not pour divine oil'! Introducing the introduction of 'Daitomaru' can also be ......"

Zhou Shande couldn't help frowning when he heard this, and pretended to cough, and after the shopkeeper Liu heard the cough, he immediately stopped talking, turned to Bai Haohong and said: "Lord Bai, last night on the fourth watch, the people from the state government yamen came to you, I was afraid that they would come back late at night and affect your rest, so I prepared an inner room in the backyard for you." Although the price is more expensive, it can guarantee that it is very quiet, outsiders will never dare to trespass, and the scenery is also very good, more spacious and comfortable. I wonder what you think? ”

"Then let's move to the inner room." Bai Haohong bowed his hand to Zhou Shande again and said, "It's just a change of room, why not Brother Zhou." ”

"I'm not here for this, please come with me." After speaking, Zhou Shande took Bai Haohong and walked towards the backyard.

On the way, Zhou Shande took out a gold token and handed it to Bai Haohong, saying: "There are many strong martial arts guards in the backyard, and people without tokens can't enter and exit casually." And the token has a level, and this gold medal can enter and exit all the wings in the backyard. ”

Bai Haohong took the token and said with a smile: "Brother Zhou just said hello to the nursing home, why do you need a token?" ”

"The nursing home is a shift system, and the next time you come, the nursing home on duty may not know you. And in order to prevent counterfeiting, the nursing home only recognizes the token but not the person, and even I have to show the token. ”

Bai Haohong followed Zhou Shande into the heavily guarded backyard, they came to a side room, and there was a guard with a knife standing at the door, and the two showed their tokens and entered the room. After entering the house, Zhou Shande closed the door, then led the way, walked through the living room, came to the door of the inner room, and said to Bai Haohong: "He is waiting for you, the inner room is very safe, and outsiders will never be able to enter." You can talk about it without worry, I'm out. With that, he turned and left.

Bai Haohong wondered in his heart: "Who is waiting for me?" This Zhou Shande, his speech is too brief. ”

Bai Haohong pushed open the door of the inner room, and when he entered the room, he was stunned: in the middle of the room sat Qin Cha Yan Wenshen and his housekeeper Yan Yuwang. When Yan Wenshen saw Bai Haohong, he was so excited that tears almost fell, he got up and grabbed Bai Haohong's hand, and said with tears in his eyes: "Brother Xian, I really didn't expect to see you in Chengzhou!" It's great you're here! ”

Yan Yuwang hurriedly came over to greet him, and after bringing a cup of tea to Bai Haohong, he retreated.

"Brother Xian, why did you come to Chengzhou? Aren't you committing a crime in Western Xia? Yan Wenshen asked.

"The case has been completed, and on the way back to Beijing, I received a secret order asking me to go to Chengdu to cooperate with Brother Ren in investigating the case. Did Brother Ren grasp the situation? ”

So Yan Wenshen introduced the whole picture of the case in detail.

Li Xingzhen, the prime minister of the dynasty, was a fellow villager of Wang Mingsi, the county magistrate of Ping'an County, under the administration of Chengzhou, and Wang Xianling once revealed to Prime Minister Li that Guan Shenghong, the governor of Chengzhou, oppressed the people, filled his own pockets, recklessly disregarded people's lives, and bought murder, so Prime Minister Li asked Wang Xianling to collect evidence of Guan Zhizhou's crime. Unexpectedly, not long after Wang County's family was killed, Guan Zhizhou's report to the Criminal Department of the case was: The officers and soldiers defending the city were transferred into the mountains to suppress bandits, and the bandits Wang Bao and his gang took advantage of the situation to break into the county office, killed Wang County's family, and set fire to the county office, and now Wang Bao is on the run. Prime Minister Li felt that there were many suspicious points in this case, such as: Why did the bandits transfer all the officers and soldiers of Ping'an County? Why were the bandits able to accurately grasp the movements of officers and soldiers? So Prime Minister Li sent a letter to the imperial court, requesting that the case be re-investigated.

After more than a month of investigation, it was concluded that Zhao Shou, the general judge of Chengzhou, was immoral and incompetent, resulting in rampant bandits in the jurisdictional area; Moreover, Zhao Tong was suspected of secretly colluding with bandits, and Zhao Tong was sentenced to blame for the death of Wang County. Lord Shang planned to send Zhao Tong to the capital for further interrogation, but he didn't expect Zhao Tong to commit suicide in prison.

After Zhao Tong's death, Yin Baozheng of Kaifeng Mansion recommended Liu Maoli as the new sentence, and the emperor immediately agreed. However, Li Zai was still not satisfied with this result, and he secretly wrote to the emperor, pointing out that there were still doubts about the case of Wang Xianling, such as: Why did the bandits enter the city instead of robbing the rich merchants, but they had to burn down the county government? In addition, Prime Minister Li also reported to the emperor what Wang Xianling had said to him in private, and at the end of the recital, he also emphasized: Guan Shenghong was recommended by Xiang Taishi to Chengzhou to serve as the governor, and the Qin Cha Shang who was in charge of the case was also a close confidant of Xiang Taishi, so it was difficult to find out the truth, so it should be sent again to re-investigate the case by Qin Cha who could enforce the law impartially.

After careful consideration, the emperor secretly sent Yan Wenshen to re-investigate the case of Wang County's order. Yan Wenshen also thought that only an unannounced visit could find out the truth, so he stationed the Qincha guard 100 kilometers away, and took Yan Yuwang and Zheng Yiben, the deputy envoy of the Qincha, to Ping'an County under the jurisdiction of Chengzhou in disguise.

After the three entered Ping'an County, Yan Wenshen and Deputy Envoy Zheng acted separately: Yan Wenshen and Yan Yuwang went to the teahouse to inquire about the news; Deputy Envoy Zheng went to investigate the scene of the crime that had been burned by the fire, hoping to find some clues.

After Yan Wenshen and Yan Yuwang walked into a teahouse on the side of the road, they saw someone who looked like an official sitting inside, so they didn't ask questions, just drank tea, and the tea guests in the teahouse were also cautiously talking in a low voice. After a while, I saw a team of officials passing by the teahouse, followed by some people watching the excitement, Yan Wenshen and Yan Yuwang also walked out of the teahouse and followed. Everyone stopped in front of the ruins of the county government, Yan Wenshen raised his eyes, and saw Deputy Envoy Zheng standing in the middle of the ruins, and the officials surrounded him.

Deputy Envoy Zheng said loudly: "What are you doing here? I'm a court official, do you want to rebel? ”

A person who looked like a master stepped forward and said with a smile: "Yan Qincha, I am Hu Jingzhi, the master of Guan Zhizhou." Lord Guan knew that you were coming, so he specially ordered the villain to wait for Lord Yan here. You see, Ping'an County is too small, and we have no way to guarantee your safety, so I would like to invite you to the post house in Chengzhou, where the security is high, the food is good, and you can live comfortably. ”

"This official is not going anywhere! You're all scattered! ”

"Lord Yan, the little ones also have orders. If we can't get Master Yan, we won't be able to pay the difference. ”

When Deputy Envoy Zheng saw Yan Wenshen, he deliberately asked loudly, "Where are you going to take this official?" ”

"The post house in Chengzhou. Master Guan is waiting there for Yan Qincha. ”

Seeing that Deputy Envoy Zheng was forced to sit in a sedan chair, Yan Wenshen sighed secretly: "Old thief Xiang has so many eyes and ears!" We quietly came to Chengzhou to investigate the case, and he also knew it clearly. What's next? ”

Not long after Yan Wenshen and Yan Yuwang returned to the inn, suddenly a group of masked men armed with waist knives broke in, and a leader-like person viciously ordered: "Quickly hand over the silver taels!" Otherwise, it will cost you your life! ”
