Chapter 7: Letter from the Prefect

The appearance of the Hou River has undoubtedly set off a few waves on the calm surface of the lake, allowing people to find a new direction.

However, Chen Feng did not immediately let Zhou Fu go, because he still had several important questions to verify Cao Zhen.

That is, whether Hou Jiang has anything to do with Wutong Mansion.

The result disappointed Chen Feng, Cao Zhen didn't know, or he couldn't be sure.

Zhou Fu was about to set off with the officials, but unexpectedly, Zhang Bogui, the county lieutenant, took the initiative to come to the door and inquire about the progress of the case.

Chen Feng didn't hide it from him, not that he had completely trusted this new county lieutenant, but told him Hou Jiang, a new figure, that Huang Anfu would definitely know that Chen Feng would have a connection with Huang Anfu and Wutong.

In this way, if there is really Lu Jinan's shadow behind the scenes of this matter, then in this way, Lu Jinan should also know.

Maybe the other party will do something else from the original ignorance.

"The adults really gathered capable people, and they found the key to the case in just a few days,"

Zhang Bogui bowed and saluted, and said with a straight face: "It's just that the lower official has a request, you see that since the lower official is the county lieutenant of this county, can you let the lower official also make this arrest..."

"County Lieutenant Zhang doesn't have to say this,"

Chen Feng interrupted him, the smile on his face was like a spring breeze, and said: "This matter is the responsibility of Lord Zhang, even if you don't come, I have to pass, and these people under me will also have some fists and feet, where do you know how to arrest people, this professional matter naturally needs to find professional people." ”

Xu Weiyang, who was in the back, heard this, glanced at Chen Feng, and muttered that deceiving the dead would not pay for his life.

Fortunately, Zhang Bogui didn't hear it, but was overjoyed because of Chen Feng's words, "The lower officials don't dare to call themselves professional, but if they can win the favor of adults, the lower officials will definitely do their best to catch the thief." ”

"Hmm,"

Chen Feng stretched out his hand and patted him on the shoulder, and then looked at Zhou Fu: "Ayou, Zhao Feng, you two have to obey the dispatch of County Lieutenant Zhang, do you know?" ”

"Yes!" Zhou Fu and Zhao Feng responded in unison.

……

"Hey, aren't you afraid that the surnamed Zhang will let Ayou catch people and tie his hands and feet like this?"

After Zhang Bogui left, Xu Weiyang asked about the worries in his heart.

Chen Feng looked at her and explained: "Since the imperial court has sent someone newly, we can't treat others as enemies without any understanding, just like Ruxuan said, I also think that Master Zhang is not a person with a small belly, and you must not spend the belly of a gentleman with the heart of a villain." ”

"Moreover, I arranged it this way, and it just happened to let Ayou understand the other party's personality, and everyone will work together in the same place in the future, and I don't want to have a second Huang Anfu."

"Yes,"

Shen Ruxuan came out and said: "Big brother is right, we have to do so much, it is best not to intrigue like before, waste time and energy." ”

"It also makes sense,"

Xu Weiyang agreed, and put the topic on the right track, "In my opinion, this Hou Jiang Bacheng was involved in the silver robbery, but whether he can catch someone is not sure, you go back and quickly let that Tian Xiucai arrange to check whether there is a shadow of Hou Jiang in Wutong Mansion." ”

"That's what I mean,"

Chen Feng looked at the girl's thoughtful appearance, couldn't help but reach out and gently tap the tip of the girl's nose, and said with a funny smile: "When you encounter a case, you have become very positive." ”

Yu Guang inevitably wanted to pay attention to Shen Ruxuan, Xu Weiyang pushed Chen Feng away with a palm, and pursed his red lips, "Don't think about it, I'm not here for you, I just think it's fun to investigate the case, if only there were a few more cases." ”

"This case is not over yet, don't say such things," Shen Ruxuan's expression was normal, and she didn't seem to be affected much, or maybe she was used to it.

"What's there,"

Xu Weiyang was as confident as ever, "This case that you are confused about has not yet found a breakthrough point. ”

"Words can't be said like that,"

Chen Feng raised his eyebrows lightly and said: "Of course, this time is your first achievement, if it weren't for Ruxuan's proposal to expand the scope to the surrounding counties, would you go to Anmu County?" Then you can't catch Cao Zhen, right? ”

"Hmph," Xu Weiyang snorted coldly, stepped forward and hugged Shen Ruxuan and said, "That's also the credit of the two of us, and it has nothing to do with you." ”

"Words can't be said like that,"

Chen Fengzhen had words, "If I hadn't scared Cao Zhen just now, would he have been able to confess Hou Jiang obediently?" ”

Xu Weiyang ignored it, just hugged Shen Ruxuan and said, "He will play tricks, Xuanzi, you must not believe him in everything, he is a person who deceives the dead and does not pay for his life, and he will not feel a little guilty when he tells lies, just look at how he deceived Zhang Bogui just now." ”

……

Two days later, Chen Feng received a letter from Zhang Bogui and Zhou Fu.

In the process of chasing Hou Jiang, Cao Zhen did exert a lot of strength, and several of Hou Jiang's usually hidden nests were found by them, and they found traces of Guanyin in Hou Jiang's mansion.

"It is certain that Hou Jiang did participate in the silver robbery, and he must be one of the masterminds."

Xu Weiyang played with the silver in his hand and said, "It's just that, how can it appear in the hands of those subordinates?" It stands to reason that even if you share the spoils, you shouldn't be able to share them in the hands of those subordinates, right? ”

"There may not be any spoils at all,"

Shen Ruxuan stared at the silver, "These silver are obtained by Hou Jiang's greed for ink behind his back." ”

"There's one more thing I still can't figure out,"

With a bang, Xu Weiyang dropped the silver on the table, "It's the name written by Cheng Wu, if Cao Zhen really didn't participate, why did Cheng Wu write this name?" ”

Chen Feng was also thinking about this problem, two days ago he lied to Cao Zhen and said that Hou Jiang was planting it, but this was obviously not a clever planting method.

Because Cao Zhen had seen him and almost became a partner, framing Cao Zhen would also implicate himself, just like now that they have tracked down Hou Jiang, it doesn't make sense.

"Big brother,"

Shen Ruxuan remembered Chen Feng's previous guess, and now the more he thinks about it, the more likely it is, and said solemnly: "Could it be like what the eldest brother said before, when Cheng Wu wrote this name again, he didn't finish it at all?" ”

Hearing this, the two of them looked shocked.

But in the next moment.

Wang Yunchao's voice suddenly came from outside, "My lord, the county magistrate is here." ”

"Huang Anfu?" Chen Feng stared and exchanged glances with the two.

"Lord Chen,"

Huang Anfu bowed to Chen Feng when he came in, but the bitterness on his face could still be seen.

"Lord Zhixian, please take a seat,"

Chen Feng got up and gave way, and asked, "I don't know if the county master is coming, what instructions do you have?" ”

"Zishi, don't say this kind of thing, you and I have come all the way to the present, and I am also anxious about what you are anxious about, what instructions to talk about,"

While speaking, Huang Anfu took out an official document from his sleeve with a bitter expression, "This is an official letter issued by the prefect, take a look." ”

Xu Weiyang and Shen Ruxuan got up at the same time, staring at the so-called official letter.

Chen Feng took it slowly, his face didn't change much during the process of reading, and he laughed out loud after closing it, "Master Zhixian, are you not happy to see this official letter?" ”

"This is given to you by the prefect, I haven't seen it,"

Huang Anfu sighed: "But I think it should be inseparable from the silver robbery case, then, don't worry, I heard that you have found the bandit leader, I believe that the case will be solved in a few days." ”

"Alas," Chen Feng also sighed, and said, "I'm afraid that even if this case is solved, it will be difficult to preserve the black gauze hat of the lower officials." ”

"How so?" Huang Anfu was very puzzled and anxious.

Chen Feng handed over the official letter, "It seems that the county master really doesn't know, so take a look." ”

Although the official letter is vague, the meaning is obvious, one is to Chen Feng to solve the case as soon as possible and recover the silver, and the other is to repair the post road is a matter that Gao Zhan personally explained, and there is no room for error, if the construction is not completed within the construction period, then Chen Feng will be mainly responsible.
