Regarding this case, Song Zhili has his own calculations.

He knew it was a big gamble and he had to make a crucial bet of his life.

One side is betting on Qiu Batian, standing on the side of the servant of the ministry.

The other side bet on the real murderer and stood opposite the servant of the ministry.

However, the shrewd Song Zhili has seen that this gamble is not a five-to-five bet, and it seems that the bet on the latter has a greater chance of winning.

Just imagine:

If he chooses the latter, arrests Qiu Batian, and convicts him, then even if he loses in the future, he will at most lose his future because he offended the servants of the ministry.

But if he insists on choosing the former and has to go to great lengths to prove Qiu Batian's innocence, then he will be branded with the crime of colluding with criminals, bending the law for personal gain, and maliciously killing people.

If you lose, you're going to lose your head!

It is clear which is more important and which is more important.

If nothing else, just saying that Li Laohan was poisoned to death in the county jail, he could not prove his innocence and justify himself.

For now, only by arresting Qiu Batian and making him and his men confess all the crimes can there be a glimmer of life.

Also, take a step back:

If you choose the former, even if you succeed in betting on Qiu Batian, then the servant of the ministry will not buy his own account, right?

On the contrary, this case will still become a stain that he will never be able to erase, and there will be no future at all.

To sum up, only by taking advantage of the trend and doing Qiu Batian can we save ourselves from being burdened in this political storm.

Of course, what prompted him to be more inclined to the latter was the most important point: that is, Qiu Batian really should not be arrogant and rude to himself, threatening and intimidating.

Since you don't appreciate it, then don't blame the official for saluting first and then soldiering......

"My lord," Cheng Xiao already understood the meaning of Song County's order, and although he was terrified in his heart, he still forced himself to reassure calmly, "I will go and study the plan if I am humiliated, and I will not disgrace my life." ”

Chen Tiefeng hurriedly followed and clasped his fists together, expressing his loyalty.

"Good!" Song Zhili nodded with satisfaction and said, "Then you can go and do things now!" ”

"Yes." The two of them turned around and wanted to leave.

"By the way," Song Zhili said again, "Call Xu Zhen over, I have another task to explain." ”

"Oh? Oh...... Yes, yes......" Cheng Xiao agreed, but it could be seen from his tone that he still had a problem with Xu Zhen.

Soon, Xu Zhen came to Song Zhili.

"Xu Zhenna," Song Zhili instructed, "The case has to continue to be investigated, before the upper authorities send someone down, I must know who the murderer of Li Laohan is, and how he killed the person in my county jail!" ”

"This ......" Xu Zhen hesitated slightly, and then nodded in agreement.

"Don't forget what we said," Song Zhili exerted pressure, "If you can't find out, then you don't have to stay in the yamen, understand?" ”

"Hmm...... Yes, it's ......" This time, Xu Zhen hesitated for a few seconds before nodding yes.

"And ......" Song Zhili thought of something again, but as soon as he opened his mouth, he saw a servant running in a hurry outside the door.

"Big lord, big lord, something happened, something happened......"

Hearing the shouts of the officials, Song Zhili and Chen Houlu invariably shook their spirits, and the last thing they wanted to hear at this moment was the words "something happened".

"What's wrong again?" Song Zhili hurriedly asked.

"My lord," the official reported, "the housekeeper of the Wei Mansion came to report that there was a murder in their mansion, and the daughter of the Wei lord ...... By...... Killed! ”

"Huh?" Song Zhili was stunned for a moment, first looked at Chen Houlu, and then asked, "Wei Mansion?" Which Wei master? ”

"Won't it?" Chen Houlu was surprised, and asked hurriedly, "Could it be Wei Yulang?" ”

"Exactly!" The official replied, "The butler is waiting at the court......

"What?" Song Zhili then remembered and said, "Wei Yulang's daughter was killed? This is...... Who is so bold? ”

Wei Yulang......

Oh......

Xu Zhen searched his mind and soon found the corresponding information.

This Wei Yulang is none other than one of the four bullies in Yanping County!

People say that the four major bullies in Yanping County are: officials, bandits, businessmen, and gangsters.

Among them, Qiu Batian is a businessman, Cui Xiaotian is black, and this Wei Yulang is the "official".

Wei Yulang once served as the Dianke Si Cheng of Honglu Temple, and then returned to his hometown Yanping County to become a rich man.

Honglu Temple was the ancient Ministry of Foreign Affairs, and this Dianke Si Cheng was mainly responsible for the reception of foreign guests and the handling of tributary items.

Wei Yulang was sleek and sophisticated, good at making friends, not only attracted many powerful people in the court, but also made many foreign friends.

This man is also very business-minded, and he can use these connections to gain access to many sought-after imports.

So, after returning to Yanping County, he used this channel to open a jewelry store specializing in imported goods.

Later, as the business expanded, he opened a number of branches in various counties and counties in Songzhou and made a lot of money.

And after that, he didn't stop at importing "dead" goods, but shifted his attention to foreign beauties.

Therefore, Wanhualou came into being.

Yes, this Wei Yulang is the backstage boss of Wanhualou!

The reason why people list Wei Yulang among the four bullies is because many of the foreign women or local women in Wanhualou were obtained by Wei Yulang through illegal means, and some of them were even quite harmful.

Moreover, I heard that his treatment of these women was also quite harsh and brutal......

"Wei Yulang's daughter......" Song Zhili frowned, "Who dares to touch his daughter?" This case couldn't have come at a better time! ”

"Isn't that right?" Chen Houlu was also full of doubts, "I heard that his eldest daughter married the son of the Tangzhou Assassin Family, and the second daughter married the captain of our Daguan County, I don't know...... Which one is this? ”

The assassin is equivalent to a high-ranking official, and the flag captain is the highest military commander within the county. It is precisely because of this that Wei Yulang can be ranked first among the four bullies of Daguan County!

"It's the youngest daughter who hasn't left the cabinet," the official hurriedly explained, "I heard...... He died at home. ”

"Huh?" The two adults were even more surprised, with Wei Yulang's great ability, how could his daughter die at home?

"Lord Song," Chen Houlu hurriedly said, "This matter is not trivial, since Wei Yulang has found our yamen, then we must pay attention to it!" ”

"Well," Song Zhili nodded, and then fell into hesitation, "But, Cheng Xiao, they still have important things to do, and it is a critical moment!" ”

When he hesitated, he saw Xu Zhen at a glance, and immediately raised his hand and said, "That's it!" Xu Zhen, you come with us, call a few more catchers, let's go over and have a look together......"
