"Come, I'll give you a drink." Chen Yunhai raised his glass and said.

"Don't dare, don't dare." Zhao Yuan hurriedly returned the salute.

After the two clinked glasses, they drank it all.

"Lord Chen, tomorrow will be the twenty-eighth day of the lunar month, and it is getting closer and closer to Chinese New Year's Eve." Zhao Yuan said.

"Zhao Zhutou has something to say."

"That's right."

Zhao Yuan said what was in his heart, "If Lord Chen doesn't mind, Zhao is willing to serve you and arrest the murderer."

"Oh?"

Chen Yunhai glanced at Zhao Yuan with interest and said with a smile, "Are you sure you can catch the murderer?"

"Fifty percent sure."

Zhao Yuan said confidently: "As long as we pursue with all our might, we will definitely be able to capture the murderer smoothly."

"Fifty percent?" Chen Yunhai pondered for a moment and said, "Since Zhao Zhutou is already sure, then the capture is disrespectful."

"Thank you, Lord Chan, for your trust." Zhao Yuan arched his hand.

After a pause, Zhao Yuan changed the topic and smiled, "By the way, Lord Chen, when are we leaving?"

"Wait a minute."

Chen Yunhai took out a copy from the drawer and handed it to Zhao Yuan.

"This is the information about the skeleton that I asked the Ministry of Industry to sort out, you bring it, and be sure to find out his life background."

Zhao Yuan stretched out his hand to take the copy, and after reading and browsing it, he couldn't help but sigh with emotion: "It turned out to be a distant nephew of the Liu family in Jiangling City."

"What? Do you know this man?"

"Ugh. I guess I know each other."

Zhao Yuan smiled and said, "The Liu family's shop in Jiangling City is the most wealthy man in Jiangling City."

"This old man Liu is an incorruptible, upright, and iron-blooded official, so he is famous in the entire Nanling County."

Chen Yunhai bowed his head and said, "Old Man Liu is a character, and he is not easy to fool."

"So I hope that you can do it without leaking a drop of water here, and don't be found abnormal by Old Man Liu, otherwise the consequences will be very serious."

"Lord Chen, don't worry. I will not fail in my mission."

Zhao Yuan assured, then put the document in his arms, ready to take it with him tomorrow.

"Hmm."

Chen Yunhai smiled and nodded, "This matter is up to you. In addition, if there is an opportunity, we will try to try to bring them to justice."

"Humble duty understands." Zhao Yuan hugged his fists and said, "Farewell."

After Zhao Yuan withdrew from the hall, Chen Yunhai stood alone for a long time, exhaled a long breath and said, "It seems that this capture division still underestimates the Qin family."

Wannian County, the county order Yamen.

"Zhao Zhutou." Qin Fan hurriedly ran into the county office and beckoned to Zhao Yuan.

"Come on, I just learned the news that there is a group of black-clad masked men near the murder scene, suspected of bandits."

"Bandits?"

"That's right." Qin Fan said in a deep voice.

"What?"

Zhao Yuan's body shook slightly, and he said in shock, "Are you sure you're not mistaken?"

"No mistake." Qin Fan nodded affirmatively, "I saw him kill Qin Fan with my own eyes."

"Then let's get over now."

"Later." Qin Fan frowned and said bitterly.

"Zhao Zhutou, although I am not afraid of this group of bandits, I can even subdue them."

"However, those thieves are armed with bows and crossbows, and they have gunpowder arrows, so we may not be able to bargain for any of them in the event of an engagement."

Zhao Yuan's brows tightened, and after thinking for a while, he asked abruptly, "Qin County Order, do you think it is possible for us to borrow a knife to kill someone?" Like a fake murderer?"

"Murder with a knife?" Qin Fan was stunned for a moment, and suddenly realized.

"I see. I'll arrange it right away."

Saying that, Qin Fan immediately wrote down a secret letter and handed it over to Zhao Yuan for safekeeping.

After Zhao Yuan left, Qin Fan immediately went to the county treasury.

In the warehouse, Qin Fan stuffed a silver ingot onto the counter,

admonished.

"Uncle Zhao, please check a batch of goods for me, this is a silver ticket, I will pay the bill after the matter is completed."

"Qin County Order, look at what you said."

Uncle Zhao grinned and said, "You and I have been friends for so many years, and it hurts to talk about money. Don't worry, I'll take care of this deal for you."

Uncle Zhao opened the box, checked it carefully, and after making sure that there was no problem, he began to count the money.

After a stick of incense, the amount is clear.

Qin Fan glanced around and made sure that there was nothing missing, so he turned around and left the warehouse and went straight to the western suburbs, preparing to distribute the silver tickets and form a professional team.

"Big brother."

In a mountain forest in the western suburbs, a group of seven people gathered together.

The leader is Zhang Hu.

Zhang Hu's eyes burned, and he said in a deep voice, "According to the news sent back by the spies, more than 500 people were dispatched by that gang of bandits last night."

"We only have sixteen brothers in total now, can we do it?"

"Don't worry." A young man said coldly, "It's just a bandit, what's the difficulty?"

"That's it." A man next to him said.

"Of our ten brothers, which one is not a hero who has experienced a hundred battles and countless battles?"

"Big brother, you can relax, ten of us, we can easily deal with those more than five hundred."

"Haha."

The crowd laughed.

Zhang Hu nodded with satisfaction, patted his chest and said, "All brothers are good."

After a pause, Zhang Hu continued, "However, this operation must be kept secret. Don't let anyone notice us."

"Big brother, don't worry. We are reliable, and we will never leak the slightest rumor."

Zhang Hu nodded, "Okay, you guys go and prepare first."

"Why?"

A group of brothers brushed together.

Immediately, this ten-person team quietly dispersed.

"Zhao Zhutou."

Qin Fan took Zhao Yuan and headed towards the mansion, "Zhao Zhutou has worked hard for you in the past few days."

"Qin County Ling is too polite."

Zhao Yuan said modestly, "This is also what a humble duty should do."

Qin Fan sighed lightly, shook his head regretfully, and said, "Zhao Zhutou, I have wronged you."

"Qin County Ling laughed."

Zhao Yuan smiled indifferently.

The two chatted for a few words, and Qin Fan suddenly lowered his voice and said, "By the way, has the county government gained anything recently?"

"Lord Xianzun has been recuperating behind closed doors during this time, and he has no time to take care of this case for the time being."

Speaking of this, Zhao Yuan's face was a little strange, he hesitated for a moment, and said.

"But this morning, I heard. Our county lord sent someone to secretly investigate this tragic case."

"Why are you investigating such a trivial case?" Qin Fan was puzzled.

"Who knows? Maybe the county lord wants to find some excitement." Zhao Yuan shrugged and smiled.

Qin Fan smiled dumbly.

The county magistrate and the county lieutenant are unlucky, and as the county honor, they don't forget to investigate this kind of trivial matter.

"No matter, my mission is done anyway, now I'm waiting to see the excitement."

Qin Fan smiled and walked side by side with Zhao Yuan.

The two arrived at the county office and went straight to the main courtyard.

In the hall of the main courtyard, Zhao Yuan was reporting the situation to Qin Fan: "Qin County Order, according to your orders, I have already given three thousand taels of silver to Uncle Zhao, and he promised to help investigate that group of bandits."

"Good."
