At night, Fanning excused himself to go for a walk, lit an incense stick behind his dormitory, and waited patiently.

Fan Ning thought that Wang Anshi was secretly protected by bodyguards at first, but Wang Anshi was just as surprised when he saw this arrow, which overturned Fan Ning's initial guess that it was not Wang Anshi's bodyguard.

Who would that be?

Fanning thought about it for almost a day, and he finally thought of someone, although Fanning felt that this possibility was unlikely, but it did exist.

While Fanning was pondering, a medium-sized figure appeared from afar.

"Sure enough, it's you!"

When the visitor approached, Fan Ning laughed, "I thought you would go back to Wujiang last year, but I didn't expect you to still be in Wu County?" ”

The person who came was Xu Qing, although he was not tall and not burly, but Fan Ning knew that he had real kung fu.

True kung fu does not mean that he breaks Yang Du's legs, but that he can carry two hundred catties of gold cornices to walk on the wall, which is by no means something that ordinary martial arts practitioners can do.

Xu Qing's face was like frost, and he said coldly: "I only obey the master's arrangement!" ”

Fan Ning found that these martial arts practitioners were all the same face, the big sword picking plum was cold to him, he had never seen her smiling face, and this Xu Qing was the same, as if he owed him hundreds of dollars and didn't pay it back.

But this is just a joke, Xu Qing has been silently protecting himself for two years, this time he came to Yin County, he was also secretly following and protecting, although this was Zhu Pei's arrangement, but the wind went to the rain, and the hard work in the rain fell on Xu Qing's body.

Fan Ning bowed, "Thank you Brother Xu for always secretly protecting my little brother!" ”

Xu Qing's face softened slightly, without the coldness just now, but he was still expressionless.

"What do you have to say about the petty officials, please say!"

Fan Ning took out a short crossbow arrow made of pig iron from the leather bag he was carrying, handed it to Xu Qing, and asked with a smile, "I returned it to its original owner, right?" ”

Xu Qing took the short arrow, lifted the short placket, and inserted the short arrow into a leather bag, Fan Ning saw at a glance that there were two other short iron arrows that were exactly the same.

This made Fan Ning amazed in his heart, it was really a hidden weapon thrown out with his hand, and it could actually shoot through the bull's head, and the strength was breathtaking.

Fan Ning said again: "I invited you here to ask you to help me track down the murderer of the cattle case, this person is called Qiu Yong, and there is an entourage, I don't know what he looks like, I only know his name." ”

Xu Qing was silent for a moment and said: "There are three murderers who hurt people by herding cattle, after the accident, they ran away separately, I have been following two of them, and then they found out that I was following, they ambushed me in the woods and tried to plot against me, but I killed one of them, and the other person was still tied up in the woods, I don't know if they were eaten by wild beasts." ”

Fan Ning was immediately overjoyed, and hurriedly said: "I'll go and inform the county gentleman, you will take us to the woods outside the city!" ”

．．．．．．．．

The person who was really overjoyed was Wang Anshi, he was still waiting for the news of Yang Dutou in the county office, and he was like a year, seeing that Governor Li would come back early tomorrow morning, if this case was not solved, he would have to hand it over to the state government, and he would really be passive.

Unexpectedly, at this critical moment, Fanning brought news that the murderer was caught by his guards, one dead and one wounded.

Wang Anshi wanted to look up to the sky and roar at that moment, and he didn't care about asking about the origin of Fanning's guards, so he personally led more than a dozen archers to the woods outside the city.

Fan Ning naturally followed, but Xu Qing did not follow, he just gave Fan Ning a map.

With this map, Wang Anshi easily found the place where the murderer was bound.

"That's him!"

Wang Anshi recognized at a glance the person tied to the tree, who was Qiu Yong, the murderer of this cattle shocking case.

Qiu Yong was hungry and thirsty, his whole body ached, and he had been tortured to the point of dying.

But when the county commander Wang Anshi appeared in front of him with a group of archers, Qiu Yong's eyes suddenly showed a look of despair, and he would rather continue to be tied to a big tree.

"Shut him up and take him away!"

Wang Anshi shouted the order, and the archers re-tied Qiu Yong, gagged him again, and pushed him into an ox cart, and the body of Qiu Yong's entourage was also found, and he was thrown into the ox cart with a piece.

Wang Anshi said apologetically to Fan Ning: "I have to interrogate Qiu Yong overnight tonight, so I can't accompany the virtuous brother more, the righteous brother of the virtuous brother will remember it in his heart!" ”

Fan Ning hurriedly smiled and said: "It's too late for me to be happy if I can help my brother, but I want to remind my brother that although Qiu Yong is a murderer, he may not be the mastermind, and my brother should be optimistic about this person, don't let people kill him." ”

A sentence reminded Wang Anshi, Wang Anshi showed a trace of coldness in his eyes, he nodded, "Thank you for reminding, I asked people to send you back to the county school, and I won't accompany you." ”

．．．．．．．．．

There is an official residence covering an area of about 10 acres about 10 steps away in the south of the county government, the courtyard wall is tall, the green trees are shady, and the pavilions, gardens and ponds in the mansion are readily available.

This is the home of Zhang Qilin, the county leader, Zhang Qilin's hometown is from Huiji County, but in fact, his parents moved to Yin County to do business 40 years ago, and he can be regarded as a local in every way.

Zhang Qilin was about forty years old, with fair skin and a slightly chubby figure, wearing a white robe and a gauze hat, and he was very bookish.

Although his eyes were slightly squinted, the cold light in his eyes flashed dimly, and he looked extremely shrewd and cunning.

At this time, Zhang Qilin was sitting in the guest hall drinking tea with half-squinted eyes, and next to him sat an old man with a white beard.

The old man was on crutches, looking old, but he begged Zhang Qilin in a low voice.

"I beg the county to help my son, give him a life, and I am willing to repay the county as a cow and a horse."

The old man is Qiu Li, the father of the three Qiu brothers, he just got the news that his youngest son has been caught by Wang Anshi, and he heard that his son is the murderer of the cattle case, and his legs are weak with fright.

Seven lives!

Qiu Li knew very well in his heart that his son was just being used, and it was true that his son was the murderer, but what about the mastermind? Hum! Can this guy across from him get out of business?

Zhang Qilin sighed and said in a tone of pity: "Qiu Yuanwai, I sympathize with you and am willing to help you, but this matter, hey! Seven people died, the matter is too big, I am just a small county man, don't say it's me, I'm afraid even if it's Wang Anshi, he can't keep your son, I'm sorry, I really can't do anything about this matter. ”

Qiu Li was furious in his heart, paused heavily with his cane, and said viciously: "Zhang Xiancheng, don't think I'm an old fool and can't understand the bureau here, my family San Lang left a letter saying that it was the Longda shopkeeper of Jinfu Qianzhuang who planned and arranged for him to do this, who is the proprietor of Jinfu Qianzhuang, don't you know yet?" ”

Zhang Qilin's face changed, he threw the teacup on the table, and said coldly: "Serve the soup!" ”

He turned around and brushed his sleeves away, Qiu Li froze, for a while, his eyes showed a fierce light, and he said to himself: "Use my son like a dog, and finally kill the dog to blame, Zhang Qilin, you are so powerful, so powerful, then we will see!" ”

He stood up and walked away trembling.

……….

Zhang Qilin returned to the study and immediately wrote a note and handed it to a confidant, "Go and hand over this note to the third master immediately!"

"Obey!" The henchman took the note and hurried away.

Zhang Qilin snorted coldly, and he also said to himself: "Wang Anshi, I want to see how you end up this time?" ”

……….

Jinfu money shop is the largest of the seven money shops in Mingzhou, everyone knows the money shop shopkeeper Long Jun, Long Jun is very famous in Yin County, he is almost the face of the gold money shop, when it comes to the gold money shop, you will think of the big shopkeeper.

But no matter how famous he is, he is only the shopkeeper, and the real owner of the money shop is the proprietor behind him, but few people know who the proprietor of the rich money shop is.

This low-key and forgotten proprietor is none other than Zhang Qilin's third brother Zhang Sheng.

Of course, the Zhang family took over the Jinfu money shop not after Zhang Qilin became the county minister, but before Zhang Qilin became the county leader, Zhang Qilin's father bought the Jinfu money shop.

It's just that at that time, the Jinfu money shop only ranked sixth among the seven money shops, and after Zhang Qilin served as the county leader, the Jin Fu money shop expanded rapidly, and in just one year, it became the leading boss of the seven money shops, and it has been far ahead in the past two years.

Everyone said that the Jinfu Money Shop was lucky and recruited an extremely capable Long Da Shopkeeper, as if this was the secret of the rapid expansion of the Jinfu Money Shop.

But who would have thought that Zhang Dongzhu of Jinfu Qian Shop was actually Zhang Xiancheng's younger brother.

Zhang Sheng doesn't look like his eldest brother Zhang Qilin at all, he looks like his mother and has a handsome long face, while Zhang Qilin looks more like his father, a typical Chinese face.

So these two people stand together, if they don't know the inside story, no one dares to believe that they are actually brothers.

A person from the county government handed Zhang Qilin's note to Zhang Sheng, Zhang Sheng opened it and looked at it, his face was a little embarrassed, he thought about it and asked, "What else did the county Cheng say?" ”

Zhang Qilin's henchman replied calmly: "The county said that it must be implemented, and it must be implemented to the letter. ”

Helpless, Zhang Sheng had to nod and say: "You go back and tell the county, I will execute it immediately!" ”

Zhang Qilin's henchman turned around and left, Zhang Sheng took a few steps with his hand, turned around and ordered: "Let Erlang and Sanlang come to see me!" ”

After a while, two seventeen or eighteen-year-old young men walked briskly, their names were very simple, one was Zhang Erlang, the other was Zhang Sanlang, Zhang Sheng's righteous son.

is nominally a righteous son, but in fact he is Zhang Sheng's henchman, the two are strong in martial arts, and they specialize in doing some shady things for Zhang Sheng.

"The child sees the father!" The two knelt down and saluted.

"One thing for you?"

Zhang Sheng said gloomily: "Long Jun is now hiding in the Xiaoyuezhou Inn outside Dongcheng, kill him, and commit suicide in fear of crime, understand?" ”

"The child understands!"

Zhang Erlang and Zhang Sanlang saluted, got up and walked, looking at the two of them going away, Zhang Sheng sighed, although he was reluctant to give up the talent of Long Jun, but he also knew that the eldest brother was right, in order to protect the Zhang family, he could only throw Long Jun, a pawn, out.
