Chapter 80: Zhang Zhongbao

The arrangement of the ghost gate array naturally fell on Ning Chonghua and a few people.

As for Qin Yu and Mo Qiyuan, they set off for Zhangqiu County, Qingzhou early the next morning.

After several days of running day and night, he finally arrived in Zhangqiu County on the fifth day.

It seems that due to the relationship between mother and son in Yanzhou, many people are afraid that it will affect Qingzhou, so many people have begun to migrate to the south.

But even so, there are a lot of people in Zhangqiu County.

At least Qin Yu and Mo Qiyuan watched the desolation of Qubu for a few days, and it was still very touching to see this kind of prosperous county again.

The two of them converged into the main road, not rushing to the man's residence first, but preparing to go to the county office here.

After all, if you run to the territory governed by others to arrest people, you still have to make a noise, otherwise if something happens, it will be more than worth the loss.

When he came to the county office of Zhangqiu County, Qin Yu showed the gold medal given by the Holy Emperor when he left Beijing.

The officer guarding the palace saw the gold medal, and his face, which was still a little arrogant, immediately showed a flattering smile and walked into the yaya with the two.

Soon, the magistrate who received the notice also hurriedly trotted out from the resting place in the backyard.

The posture is very low, which can be described as groveling.

Although this feeling of being held by people is very comfortable, Qin Yu didn't come here to shake his majesty, and he will soon explain his intentions.

This magistrate is also a sleek person, and when he heard Qin Yu's request, he didn't ask much at all, and immediately arranged more than ten messengers to arrest people with the portrait and address given by Qin Yu.

Since someone did it for him, Qin Yu was naturally happy, so he waited with Mo Qiyuan in the main hall accompanied by this magistrate.

During this period, the magistrate also asked Qin Yu about the identities of the two people, where the gold medal in his hand came from, and what happened to arrest this person.

Regarding these, Qin Yu didn't deliberately hide it, but he didn't explain it carefully, just "Yanzhou is a child." These five short words made the magistrate tremble, and he didn't dare to say a word more.

The time of the half-pillar incense passed.

The yacha who had left before had already pressed back with a richly dressed and handsome middle-aged man.

However, the middle-aged man looked a little embarrassed at this time.

Qin Yu and Mo Qiyuan saw that the person had brought, so they got up and walked to the door, their eyes looked at this person, and focused on his appearance.

I found out that it was indeed the person in the portrait, and I was relieved. Fortunately, I didn't escape, otherwise, it would be really hard to find the one at the end of the world.

"My lord, this person's name is Zhang Zhongbao, a local squire. When I entered the house to get the people, the subordinates were packing up and seemed to be preparing to leave. ”

The captured officer took two steps forward and said respectfully.

When the magistrate heard that this person was about to leave, he secretly breathed a sigh of relief in his heart, fortunately he had caught someone. Otherwise, it won't be a good deal.

Zhang Zhongbao is also calm, and he has been very calm from the beginning to the present.

I saw that one of them was a parent official, and the other two had never seen it. But judging from the attitude of this magistrate, the origin is definitely not small.

It's just that Zhang Zhongbao doesn't have much impression of the looks of these two people, and he has definitely not seen them before.

Seeing that he had arrived at the county, Zhang Zhongbao said: "My lord, I don't know what crime I have committed, and I need to be treated like this." ”

"I don't know what crime you have committed, but these two are sent from the current Holy Lord, and you can ask."

Seeing that the person had been caught, the magistrate didn't want to cause any trouble, so he dropped this sentence, took a step back, and handed over the next word to Qin Yu and the others.

Hearing this, Zhang Zhongbao looked at the other two, looked up and down, and asked:

"I have a good memory of asking myself, but the two of them are so eye-catching, they don't seem to have seen each other before."

"It's the first time we've met you." Qin Yu replied.

This time, Zhang Zhongbao was a little puzzled.

"Since we have never met, why is this move?"

"Although we haven't met you yet, you should know Zhang Xiaomei."

Hearing this name, Qin Yu and the two keenly noticed that each other's eyes flashed slightly, and they reacted to this.

"Acquaintance."

"So on the seventh day of the fourth lunar month, Zhang Xiaomei was strangled to death by the river, do you know?"

"Zhang Xiaomei is dead?"

Zhang Zhongbao looked very surprised, with a blank expression.

Qin Yuke didn't care about the other party's expression, and continued:

"We suspect that you have something to do with this matter, so we are ready to bring you back to Yanzhou for investigation."

Hearing that he was going back to Yanzhou, Zhang Zhongbao's expression was obviously a little panicked, but it was only a moment, and it was difficult to detect, but his reaction was a subconscious refusal.

"What does Zhang Xiaomei's death have to do with Zaixia. What's more, now that the people in Yanzhou are troubled by their mothers, wouldn't they be sent to death if they ran over at this time!

If there is no evidence to prove that this matter is related to me, I will never go to Yanzhou with you! ”

"It's not up to you to decide whether you agree or not." Qin Yu smiled coldly.

Mo Qiyuan also said at this time:

"Zhang Xiaomei was killed when she was pregnant, so she became angry because of resentment. Because of this, how many people have been mutilated and died in the past few months.

Regardless of whether Zhang Xiaomei's murderer is you or not, as the biological father of the child in her womb, it is impossible for this matter to be separated from you. ”

When the other people present heard this, they actually had something to do with this Zhongbao, and the expressions on their faces changed greatly.

They all looked at him unkindly.

Seeing Zhang Zhongbao's speechless appearance, Qin Yu didn't bother to pay attention to him, but turned around and bowed his hand to the magistrate.

"Zhang Zhongbao, we will take it back to Yanzhou, about his family, I'm afraid I need adults to explain. However, it's best not to spread the word about what happened just now, so that some other things can be avoided. ”

The magistrate nodded hurriedly, promising that he would not leak this matter.

Because of the evil of the son and mother, many of them in Zhangqiu County came from Qubu City. If they were to know what had just happened, it would inevitably cause anger among the people. Those people whose families and loved ones died tragically, once they find an outlet, the consequences are very terrifying.

At that time, I am afraid that the Zhang family will instantly become the target of public criticism. If it is a fatal event, then it will be a disaster.

Zhang Zhongbao was escorted away by Qin Yu and the others.

The county magistrate of Zhangqiu County immediately issued a gag order, and asked people to go to Zhang's house to inform Zhang Zhongbao that he was suspected of a murder and was to be investigated.

The people of the Zhang family are local squires, which can be regarded as a task with a head and a face, and Zhang Zhongbao was arrested inexplicably like this, it is impossible for them to forget it like this, and immediately go to the county government to ask for justice.

However, in the face of this situation, the county magistrate is also very single-minded to lock the door of the government office, and he is out of sight and out of mind.
