I don't know if it's because he was stimulated by the divorce when he was young, Xiao Tingan had no room to do things later, and he didn't say anything about it, and he didn't show mercy.

Many people who competed with him in business ended up inexplicably disappearing in Fan County.

Gradually, Xiao Ting'an seemed to become the overlord of Fan County, and he didn't even take the county order of Fan County at that time into his eyes, and he climbed on top of his head several times as a blessing.

Zhang Ci knows these things, and the county magistrate of Fan County doesn't know how many letters he has written.

But he is just an imperial doctor, not to mention that he is still staying in the capital thousands of miles away, and his heart is more than enough but his strength is insufficient, which coincides with the internal turmoil in the court at that time, and rumors about the treason of the eldest grandson Cheng are spreading, and he happens to be good friends with the eldest grandson.

He was afraid that if he moved at this time, he would bring disaster to his family.

Above the court, the factions are clear, the party is full of henchmen, the deputy prime minister faction doesn't know where to get the evidence, and the eldest grandson prime minister is covered in sewage, and the chapter remarks chose to keep silent.

Mingzhe protected himself, watching the eldest grandson end up in embarrassment, Zhang Ci felt ashamed, but he couldn't do anything.

All he could do was save the lives of his eldest grandson's children.

On the day of the beheading of the eldest grandson, Zhang Ci hid in his room, in a daze. And on that day, Xiao Ting'an stabbed a colleague who was unwilling to join him on the spot in Fan County, and the man's blood was all over the ground. Someone reported to the yamen, but when the yamen people arrived, none of the people present dared to tell the truth.

The case is closed.

At that time, the county magistrate of Fan County, surnamed Mu, was honest and upright, but because there was no physical evidence and no witnesses, he failed to arrest Xiao Tingan in prison, which was a stain on his life.

Three days later, Mu Xian Ling wrote a letter and sent it to the capital, and soon after, he was transferred, and I don't know where he was transferred, and no one has talked about it so far.

And Zhang Jiusheng is the next successor county commander.

On the first day Zhang Ci came back, he showed Zhang Jiusheng all the letters written by Mu Xianling, and those letters are still in the partition of Zhang Jiusheng's study. Over the years, he has known Xiao Ting'an's power in Fan County, and although he seems to be following the rules on the surface, he doesn't know what he is doing behind the scenes.

The things that Xiao Ting'an did in the past, with the passage of time, the people and evidence have long disappeared in Fan County, Zhang Jiusheng can't find out, but that Mu County Ling is indeed a good official, and he left a lot of useful things for Zhang Jiusheng before leaving. But he never expected that before Zhang Jiusheng could really open up those old cases, Xiao Tingan had an accident.

He had a sense of grievance that he couldn't do anything.

When standing at the door of the Xiao Mansion, Zhang Jiusheng thought about the efforts he had made over the years, and in an instant they were in vain, and he was so angry that he almost cried.

"Fuck it!" He cursed.

Xiao Ting'an's personality is known throughout Fan County, and Xiao Hengyan is even more deeply rooted in his father's essence, and he wanders around the streets and alleys of Fan County every day when he has nothing to do, so that no one in Fan County has never seen him.

Zhang Jiusheng took the portrait and knocked on the door of the house closest to Xiao Mansion.

The one who opened the door was a middle-aged strong man who looked like he was in his thirties, in this little cool weather, he was shirtless, his body seemed to be hot and red, steaming, Zhang Jiusheng glanced behind him, only to find that this was a blacksmith.

"Big brother, I'll ask you personally." Zhang Jiusheng has a good voice and is angry.

The blacksmith said in a rough voice, waved his big hand, wiped the sweat on his face, and said, "Who do you ask?" ”

"Have you seen this person?" Zhang Jiusheng did not name names, but just opened the portrait and pointed to the person in the portrait.

The blacksmith had thick eyebrows and big eyes, and when his face moved slightly, he looked a little fierce, he had lived here for decades, and naturally knew Xiao Hengyan, and he had also suffered a lot of losses from Xiao Hengyan, so he spat on the ground and said, "Who doesn't know this kid?" You're here to tease me, aren't you? ”

Zhang Jiusheng hurriedly put away the portrait and said with a smile: "No, no, no, I just came to ask, there is no malice." ”

"Humph! Don't come looking for trouble! The blacksmith spat on the ground again and glared at Zhang Jiusheng: "It's good that this kid is dead!" ”

After saying that, he turned around and closed the door directly, Zhang Jiusheng wanted to say something, took a step forward, and almost hit his nose with the door panel. He sighed, he knew that this would happen, but he didn't expect the first person to be so difficult, it was really a disadvantage.

Holding the portrait, Zhang Jiusheng quickly knocked on the door of another family.

This time it was a gentle-looking woman who opened the door, holding a child in her arms, her pink little face was extremely cute, Zhang Jiusheng smiled and spread out the portrait: "Have you ever seen the person on this portrait?" ”

The woman was still smiling at first, but after seeing the person on the portrait, the smile on her face disappeared instantly, her face turned cold, she looked Zhang Jiusheng up and down, and sneered at the corner of her mouth: "Xiao Hengyan, the young master of the Xiao family?" I heard that his family was wiped out, his whereabouts are unknown, and I don't know which hero did it, who are you? What are you asking him for? What's wrong? Do you still want to find the hero who eliminated harm for the people? ”

The woman asked again and again, and Zhang Jiusheng retreated again and again.

He really didn't expect that looking at such a gentle and amiable woman could suddenly become so fierce in the next second, the woman is really a tiger!

"Not ......"

"Less nonsense! Tell you, even if the people here know the whereabouts of the hero, they won't tell you, the Xiao family doesn't have a good thing! They are innocent! The woman roared angrily, turned around and took out a broom from the corner of the door, waved it at Zhang Jiusheng a few times, and said, "Get out!" If I don't roll and beat you to death! ”

Zhang Jiusheng was blasted out, and as the door slammed shut, he ate a mouthful of dust.

Licking his lips, Zhang Jiusheng rolled up the portrait, sighed lightly, and looked up to see an oncoming uncle, who seemed to have inconvenient legs and feet, and was still on crutches.

He slowly greeted him: "Uncle, I will ask you about someone." ”

The uncle seemed to have some ears behind his ears, looking at Zhang Jiusheng with a pair of cloudy eyes, extremely unfocused, and a word came out of his hoarse voice: "Huh? ”

Zhang Jiusheng sighed, and shouted again in a loud voice patiently: "Uncle! Ask you personally! ”

Unexpectedly, the uncle frowned and rubbed his ears: "I'm not deaf, why are you shouting so loudly?" ”

Zhang Jiusheng stroked his forehead a little helplessly, spread out the portrait, or leaned into the uncle's ear, and shouted a little loudly: "Uncle, do you recognize this ......painting?"

Before Zhang Jiusheng could finish speaking, the uncle pushed him away, and by the way, he picked up the crutches in his hand and put it on Zhang Jiusheng's leg, and shouted loudly, his voice was extremely hoarse: "Who are you this bastard?" What to do with him? It's good that he's dead, pay for my grandson's life! Death for my grandson! ”

The uncle shouted loudly, and after a while, the people along the street looked over, and some of them heard the movement in the house, and they also opened the door and walked out, Zhang Jiusheng's leg was hit by the cane, and it hurt badly, and he didn't know if it was broken, and he saw that the person he had asked came over, and his face was a little unkind.

He secretly said "not good", if he didn't leave, he was afraid that he would be beaten up here, and hurriedly bowed to the uncle, and ran away with the portrait in his arms. Finally rushed out of the crowd, Zhang Jiusheng never felt that he had run so fast, and in a blink of an eye, he couldn't see the person chasing him behind him.

Leaning against the wall, Zhang Jiusheng gasped, holding the portrait, quite sad, he thought about it was difficult, but he didn't think it was so difficult, this Xiao Tingan and Xiao Hengyan father and son can be said to have done all the evil things in Fan County, and now thinking about it, Xiao Hengyan lives in his house, and Yunsheng is still taking care of him, Zhang Jiusheng feels uncomfortable again.

"Aggrieved! He's so fucking aggrieved! Zhang Jiusheng wiped a handful of sweat and scolded: "When did Lao Tzu suffer such a grievance? When I turn around, I must be survived! ”

Cautiously glancing outside, and finding that no one was looking for him, Zhang Jiusheng quickly slipped into another small alley, and turned a few corners to Baishitang.

Zhang Qiye happened to be inspecting the medicinal materials in the front hall, and saw Zhang Jiusheng rushing in like a thief: "What are you doing?" Stealing from other people's stuff again? ”

"Brother, what nonsense are you talking about?" Zhang Jiusheng straightened up, rubbed his nose, took the portrait out of his arms, and carefully examined it to confirm that it was not damaged before rolling it up.

"And what are you doing here?" Zhang Qiye said, glanced outside the door, and looked at Zhang Jiusheng again: "Look at your current appearance, you have been beaten during the visit?" ”

Zhang Jiusheng flattened his mouth and nodded aggrievedly.

Zhang Qiye sighed, walked out of the counter, and motioned to go to the backyard with his eyes, Zhang Jiusheng took the picture scroll and obediently followed.

"Where's the injury?" Without waiting for Zhang Jiusheng to stand firm, Zhang Qiye turned his head and grabbed his arm to check left and right.

"No, no, I'm fast. It's just that I didn't expect that the reputation of the Xiao family in Fan County would be so shouted and beaten by everyone, and even the innocent people who worked in the Xiao family were said to be as if they were doing all kinds of evil. Zhang Jiusheng was a little frustrated.

Zhang Qiye patted him on the shoulder: "There is a saying that the husband is not guilty, but he is guilty." Although they only worked in the Xiao family, the evil things done by the Xiao family's father and son were enough to bring other innocent people who stayed in the Xiao family into it, regardless of whether they had done harmful things or not. ”

"A rat droppings spoils a pot of soup."

"Yes."

"Sheng'er, this case is different from what you have encountered in the past, the murderer may be holding on to the things that the Xiao family has done in the people, it is expected that even if something happens to them, the people will not help them speak, let alone feel that the Xiao family is pitiful, but will feel that the murderer is a hero and a hero, and he will eliminate harm for the people. If the government intervenes in the investigation of this case, it will inevitably be attacked by the people. ”

Zhang Qiye is right, the embarrassment on the street today is the best evidence.

But if he gave up like this, it wouldn't be him Zhang Jiusheng, he clutched the portrait in his hand tightly, and said: "I still have to try, I trust my intuition, if the house is really not Xiao Hengyan, then where is the real Xiao Hengyan?" What is the real purpose of this person? Is it Yunsheng? I just have to think about it and I'm scared. ”
