Early the next morning, Ren Tianxiang and his entourage left the inn room and went to the prosecutor's office in Jincheng to meet Hu Yaoyu and others.

What happened last night, Hu Yaoyu and the others had already learned about it from their colleagues in the Jincheng Criminal Prison Division. After seeing Ren Tianxiang, he also sighed vigorously that Ren Tianxiang's strength was excellent, and he was able to kill the killer.

For Hu Yaoyu's flattery, Ren Tianxiang also accepted it with peace of mind, but he didn't let everyone mention this matter, especially when they were about to go to Linshi City, don't take the initiative to mention this matter, so as not to provoke fire.

However, to Ren Tianxiang's pity, the commissioners of the Criminal Prison Department investigated the killer's body all night, but still did not find anything.

Whether it was the identity of the killer or the organization he belonged to, the commissioners of the Criminal Prison Department had no clue about this information.

The killer did not even carry a storage ring other than his own dagger when he was on duty, which undoubtedly greatly increased the difficulty of the investigation of the commissioners of the Criminal Prison Division.

But this doesn't matter anymore, Ren Tianxiang actually expected such a situation when the killer died.

Since this killer dared to kill himself decisively when he was cornered, it meant that he was absolutely sure that Ren Tianxiang would not find anything from their corpses.

After hearing Hu Yaoyu tell him about the progress of the investigation on the Jincheng Prison Division, Ren Tianxiang took his group and set off for Linshi City.

According to the previous arrangement, the group was ready to arrive at Linshi City, but An Youqing did not go with them.

Her task is to find out Zou Chang's loan in Jincheng Jinpu, and Jincheng's gold shop is in Jincheng, so she doesn't need to follow Ren Tianxiang and them to Linshi City. However, after she checked this item, she would immediately rush to Linshi City to join Ren Tianxiang and them.

When Ren Tianxiang and the others dealt with last night's affairs, it was already around nine o'clock in the morning, and after they left the city, it was already half past nine.

According to Hu Yaoyu's estimate, Ren Tianxiang and their arrival in Linshi City should be around five or six o'clock in the afternoon the day after tomorrow.

They did not inform Zou Chang of this trip, in fact, Ren Tianxiang also wanted to catch Zou Chang off guard, so he specially instructed the relevant personnel not to reveal their whereabouts to Zou Chang.

However, Ren Tianxiang guessed that since Zou Chang was able to hire killers to assassinate him, it was very likely that Zou Chang would be able to grasp their whereabouts.

In fact, this is also Ren Tianxiang's temptation of Zou Chang, if Zou Chang knows his whereabouts, then it can only show that Zou Chang's suspicion is a little bigger.

In fact, Ren Tianxiang has not grasped the evidence that can completely prove that this series of things is Zou Chang's doing. If they really can't find out Zou Chang's problem, then Ren Tianxiang might as well consider whether someone is framing Zou Chang.

......

Linshi City is the farthest city in Jincheng from all the cities in the entire Xifeng Province, and the establishment of Linshi City was still because the imperial court found ore veins here, so it was a stronghold set up here.

Later, the veins were dug up, but those who came to work here stayed here for generations, and gradually established cities here.

The establishment of the City Lord's Mansion in Linshi City was about five or six thousand years ago, and it should be regarded as one of the relatively late cities in the Southern Continent.

Linshicheng is built in the Xifeng Mountains, surrounded by mountains on three sides, the traffic is very inconvenient, and it is the farthest away from Jincheng, so in the past, Linshicheng has always been the poorest city in Xifeng Province.

It wasn't until more than ten years ago that Zou Chang, the deputy city lord, became the lord of Linshi City, insisting on building a winding mountain road that runs through the entire Xifeng Mountain Range in the Xifeng Mountain Range, opening up the trade route from Linshi City to neighboring provinces, and Linshi City gradually became a commercial hub in the surrounding area.

The Linshi City that people see today is very different from the appearance of more than ten years ago. After the economy developed, Zou Chang presided over the overturning and reconstruction of the old city wall of Linshi City, and expanded the edge of the city wall to a place very close to the mountain wall of the Xifeng Mountains, which almost doubled the area of Linshi City.

However, even if Linshi City expanded by such an area, the newly expanded area was still quickly filled with all kinds of buildings, and countless inns and chambers of commerce settled here, further promoting the economy of Linshi City.

Since then, Linshicheng has finally relied on its own strength to get rid of the limitations of geographical location, and the lives of the people have improved.

In this process, Zou Chang's merit is naturally the greatest, after all, he presided over the construction of Panshan Road, and it was also he who went to Jincheng Jinpu on behalf of the Linshicheng City Lord's Mansion to take out a loan to alleviate the urgent need for funds on Panshan Road.

Therefore, Ren Tianxiang's investigation in Linshicheng was actually very difficult to advance, and most of them could only rely on the information provided by the Linshicheng City Lord's Mansion and the audit office set up by the Jincheng Procuratorate in Linshicheng to conduct an investigation.

If they went to the private sector to investigate, then the only answer they got could be "How could someone as good as Zou Chang City Lord do such a thing as corruption".

After listening to Hu Yaoyu's introduction, Ren Tianxiang can fully understand that the people of Linshi City have such emotions, after all, it was indeed Zou Chang who brought Linshi City to get rich, and it was he who made the lives of the people of Linshi City better.

From the days when he was hungry and needed relief from the court every day to the life of being fed, clothed and warmed and with a lot of benefits, Zou Chang has made great contributions.

For Zou Chang's ability, Ren Tianxiang really admires it, and he is an official who can seek his own government and the welfare of the people in his position, which is not to say that he is not a good official. But his merits are merits, and if he does something wrong, then he should be dealt with separately, and he cannot be allowed to take advantage of his position because of his merits.

However, no matter how Hu Yaoyu described it, Ren Tianxiang only imagined what Linshi City had become, and imagination had limitations after all.

When they approached Linshi City and saw a city built on the gap in the Xifeng Mountain Range from a distance, they really understood what Hu Yaoyu said before.

Linshicheng was originally mainly agricultural, because it was built at the foot of the mountain, so there is a large alluvial fan plain in front of the mountain in the suburbs outside the city, and the land is fertile, which is very suitable for agricultural development.

However, agriculture depends on the weather for food, and because of the blockage of the Xifeng Mountains, the rain here is not abundant, and most of the water for agriculture and domestic use depends on the river water and groundwater left from the Xifeng Mountains.

There is a lot of distance from Jincheng, it is difficult to transport agricultural products, and there is no shortage of agricultural land in the surrounding cities, and the agricultural products of Linshicheng do not occupy much of the market.

There was neither a means of transportation nor a special agricultural product, so Linshicheng lived almost a self-sufficient mode for a long time.

After the opening of Panshan Road, because of the different climates on both sides of the Xifeng Mountains, the agricultural products of Linshicheng and the surrounding cities were welcomed in the southern Shifeng Province, and the goods of Shifeng Province were also circulated into Xifeng Province, and both sides greatly profited.

It is also because of this that many chambers of commerce have taken a fancy to this, so in the past few years, many large chambers of commerce in the Star Emperor have established branches here.

And it is worth mentioning that if you pass through Panshan Road, Linshicheng is far from Licheng, the capital of Shifeng Province, even if you count the time of passing through Panshan Road, it is a day faster than going to Jincheng from Linshicheng.

Therefore, after the construction of the winding mountain road, the things of Linshi City can also be sold to the entire Star Emperor Kingdom through the teleportation array of Licheng.

After so many years of commercial development, Linshicheng has become the only city in Xifeng Province that can compete with the capital Jincheng.

For such a result, Ren Tianxiang was also moved by some compassion, and also understood why both Li Siming and Xingheng had repeatedly reminded him that there must be conclusive evidence to do something to Zou Chang.

Otherwise, the public opinion of these people in Linshi City alone will be enough for the imperial court to have a headache.

......

Walking into Linshi City, Ren Tianxiang could also see those caravans that were constantly heading to Linshi City from all directions or coming out of Linshi City in all directions.

Linshi City, a city that has become the commercial center of the southern part of Xifeng Province, just at first glance, showed Ren Tianxiang its huge commercial throughput.

Because in order to hide the whereabouts of their group, when they set off from Jincheng a few days ago, Ren Tianxiang asked everyone to change into their civilian clothes, and at this time they walked in the caravan, just like the guards of the caravan, inconspicuous.

Ren Tianxiang was also observing the appearance of the people around him, and found that these people were indeed happy, and many people enjoyed the benefits of the development of business in Linshi City.

The poor life in the past has changed, because of Zou Chang's governance, not only the people of Linshi City, but also the people of the surrounding cities have also lived a good life.

Unlike a cosmopolitan city like Star City, a sense of dynamism emerges from all aspects of the city, where the people have expectations for the future that the people of Star City do not have, and everyone in the city is doing their best to become better.

Although there are many commercial centers in the Star Empire, this place has a completely different atmosphere from other places, and even Ren Tianxiang can't help but be full of energy just under this atmosphere.

I have to say that Zou Chang has a lot of means, and he can turn the originally dying city into this in just a dozen years, I'm afraid that even those officials in the Prime Minister's Mansion who have passed the court examination can't do it to such an extent.
