Chapter 31: Conquering

The next day, Xu Zhen was even busier, running around the county all day long, continuing to collect information about Qiu Batian through various means.

This Qiu Batian is really a perverted bully, robbing men and women in Yanping County, bullying the township, and doing bad things.

Moreover, this person is violent and arrogant, and he has a perverse personality, and he doesn't need a reason to bully people at all, as long as he is in a bad mood, he will inevitably vent loudly.

On that day, the two girls who were ravaged and tortured by Xu Zhen in the carriage were just the norm for Qiu Batian.

Although it is true that Ailian's affairs were not his doing, the bad things he has done are not much worse.

In order to get more information, Xu Zhen also deliberately found the old butler who had his leg discounted by Qiu Batian.

The old butler had now become a beggar, living in a thatched hut at the base of the south wall of the city, lonely and pitiful.

Although the old housekeeper is old and his mind is a little confused, he still remembers Qiu Batian's affairs and will never forget it for the rest of his life.

He told Xu Zhen that the reason why his leg was discounted by Qiu Batian back then was because Qiu Batian had to kill the original boss's family after forcibly occupying the Zuixianju Restaurant.

I couldn't bear it, and quietly let go of the boss's family, which attracted Qiu Batian's anger, discounted his legs, and expelled him from the Qiu family.

Hearing the old housekeeper's words, Xu Zhen instantly understood a lot of things.

First, the Drunken Immortal Residence was not created by Qiu Batian, but forcibly occupied, and the same is true of several other restaurants.

Second, what happened to this old housekeeper is very similar to that of Xiao Catch Kuai Xu Zhen, because he was soft-hearted and saved people, which caused trouble.

Next, Xu Zhen asked the old housekeeper a lot of things, and the old housekeeper also knew everything and told Xu Zhen without reservation.

Anyway, he is already an old beggar who is on the verge of death and no one cares, and he is not afraid of attracting Qiu Batian's revenge.

Unexpectedly, Xu Zhen listened to it and got an extremely critical piece of information from the old housekeeper.

It was precisely because of this information that he felt more and more that the case of Li Laohan's father and daughter was wrong, and it seemed that behind the known facts of the case, there was a huge conspiracy......

After that, Xu Zhen became even busier, first went to the Splendid Study to talk to his second cousin, and then went to the Xuanwu Academy to understand the situation.

Xuanwu Academy is the best academy in Yanping County, and it has produced many scholars, and it is very famous in the entire Daguan County.

Therefore, there are many talented people from other counties who come here and spend a lot of money to study here.

Xuanwu Academy and the splendid study are separated by a wall, the handsome man in the east of the wall, and the beautiful woman in the west of the wall.

The absolute face of Xu Zhen yesterday was specially made by a certain scholar for the beautiful girls, and its purpose was to take advantage of the opportunity to embarrass the beautiful girls to increase their attention.

Unexpectedly, this pair was mistakenly matched by Xu Zhen.

Today, it just so happens that Xu Zhen's next link has spread in Xuanwu Academy, and scholars are vying to discuss this matter.

It's just that they don't know that the person who can face such an absolute person is the little catcher in front of them.

It's a pity, Xu Zhen had a good opportunity to pretend to be forced, but he came to Xuanwu Academy this time to do business, and with his identity as a fast catcher, he quickly found useful information.

Next, Xu Zhen rented a carriage and went to a suburban post house with his second cousin......

It was getting late, and Xu Zhen finally got everything done, and then returned to the county government to report.

As soon as he entered the county yamen, he felt that the situation was not right, and the entire yamen was filled with a rare aura of slaughter.

When I entered the fishing room, I saw that there was a crowd of people, and almost all the catchers were here, and their faces were extremely solemn.

"Senior brother," the voice of the tiger girl Shen Yu came from the group of fast catchers, "You are here!" Where the hell have you been? Something's wrong, there's an accident! ”

"What's wrong?" Xu Zhen checked left and right and found that there were two people missing, and Cheng Xiao and Chen Tiefeng, who were headhunters, were not present.

"You don't know yet, do you?" Shen Yu hurriedly pulled Xu Zhen aside and said, "Senior Brother Chen was beaten by Qiu Batian's gang, and his legs were discounted!" ”

"Huh?" Xu Zhen was surprised, "Which Senior Brother Chen?" ”

"It's Chen Tiefeng!" Shen Yu replied, "I heard that Senior Brother Chen went to the Jiaofang Division to investigate the case, but somehow, he was beaten indiscriminately by a group of people, and later I learned that those were Qiu Batian's subordinates.

"Alas, poor Senior Brother Chen, if only you had taken me with you at that time......"

Oh......

Xu Zhen's brows tightened slightly, and he quickly thought that Chen Tiefeng's beating had something to do with him, because he had stolen Chen Tiefeng's name for several days.

I'm afraid, Qiu Batian also recorded the account with cold water on Chen Tiefeng's head, right?

This Qiu Batian is really good enough, and he really dares to make a quick move.

"Oh, yes!" Shen Yu remembered something, and hurriedly reported to Xu Zhen, "Senior Brother Xu, we have completed the task you gave me and Fu Bin, and we have persuaded more than ten people who are willing to testify in court!" ”

"Oh? So much? Xu Zhengang wanted to like it, but when he saw Fu Bin's embarrassed expression on his face, he immediately understood that Xiaoyu's words might have moisture.

"It's a pity that ......," Shen Yu added, "After I brought these people to the Yamen, Cheng Zhutou asked me to let them all go." ”

"Why?" Xu Zhen was puzzled.

Cheng Zhutou said, saying...... said...... "Shen Yu was a little shy.

Cheng Zhutou said, "Fu Bin couldn't help it, and then said, "It's ...... persuasion."

Fu Bin didn't dare to say the latter words.

But Xu Zhen already knew that it must be: "The one who is convinced does not count!" ”

Alas, what a cute tiger girl......

"Xu Zhen!"

At this moment, there was a sudden loud shout at the door, which shook the fast hunters in the house and immediately stopped their voices.

turned his head to look, but saw that it was Cheng Xiao, the head catcher, who was shouting violently, he walked in angrily and came directly to Xu Zhen.

Looking like that, it seems that he wants to eat Xu Zhen.

And just behind Cheng Xiao, the county magistrate Song Zhili and the county magistrate Chen Houlu also appeared one after another.

The two adults also had solemn expressions and angry faces.

"Xu Zhen, what the hell are you doing?" Cheng Xiao asked, "Let you investigate the case, but you can't even find a figure?" ”

Xu Zhen had long expected this scene, and immediately replied unhurriedly: "Returning to Cheng Cheng to catch the head, I'm just going to investigate the case?" ”

"Don't pretend to be garlic here," Cheng Xiao said angrily, "You instigated Shen Yu to arrest the witness, what kind of heart is this, you know that those people can't go to court to testify, isn't this obviously adding to the chaos?" ”

"That's it...... That's it," Fu Bin whispered on the side, "We were so miserable by him, we were arrested for a day in vain......

"Xu Zhen," Cheng Xiao continued to question, "Didn't you say that it wouldn't take three days to find out about Li Laohan's murder?" It's the second day, what exactly have you found?

Originally, Cheng Xiao felt that Chen Tiefeng's beating might also be related to Xu Zhen, but there was no evidence, so he had to bring up the old story again.

"Oh," Xu Zhen replied with a serious face, "I'm here to report this now, isn't it just to report this?" ”

"How?" Cheng Xiao narrowed his eyes, "Did you really find the murderer?" How did I hear that you didn't even go to the Southern Prison? ””

"Hehe......" Xu Zhen smiled faintly, turned to the county commander Song Zhili and said, "Actually, when the eldest master gave me the order, I already knew who the murderer was!" also knows what method he used to kill Li Laohan. ”

"Oh?" Song Zhili wanted to keep his posture, but when he heard Xu Zhen's astonishing words, he couldn't help but ask, "Then don't you say it quickly, who is the murderer?" ”

As a result, after asking, Song Zhili saw Xu Zhen's flashing eyes, and then he understood that Xu Zhen wanted to take a step to speak.

Seemingly......

Song Zhili couldn't help frowning, because he already had a premonition that the truth about Li Laohan's murder might not be suitable for too many people to know......
