Xu Chong squatted down and slapped Zhang Youde twice, forcibly sobering him up.

"Zhou Ze uses this means to control you, isn't he afraid of violating the taboo of the imperial court?"

The cost of this kind of enslavement is too low, in addition to the selection of targets, there is only the payment of lip service, if the court is laissez-faire, is it not afraid of shaking the foundation?

"Taboo... Taboo? Hahahaha. ”

Zhang Youde was stunned, and suddenly laughed when he heard this question: "What kind of taboo is this?" Even if you officials enslave many people, aren't you still enslaved by the court? Can it still be turned upside down? ”

“……”

Xu Chong was silent.

"I know you're right, even if it happens, I'm probably going to die."

Zhang Youde laboriously moved his body to make himself lie down more comfortably: "But I'm not reconciled, I'll just do it myself, but I don't want Shunyi to be like me, a mess all my life, to be the lowest ant." ”

“…… It seems that Zhou Ze has a lot of things that he has not told you. ”

Xu Chong stood up and looked up at Mingyue, "If you can be a high school jinshi, you will have the opportunity to be knighted and noble, and with Shunyi's talent, you don't need to do anything." ”

"What?!"

Zhang Youde's eyes widened suddenly.

"This is what the county school taught me personally, believe it or not."

"I ......"

Zhang Youde didn't want to believe it, but he had to believe it.

Because in his impression, in addition to the county commander Wu Wenjing, Wang Hezhi is the only person Zhou Ze is afraid of.

Why would a real power master be afraid of mere teachers?

The answer is obvious.

"Shunyi is my friend after all."

Xu Chong said, turned around and walked away slowly, "Ling...... Don't make it hard for me. ”

Don't make it difficult for me?

Zhang Youde muttered and repeated, and when he came back to his senses, he suddenly laughed.

"Hahaha......"

"Okay, don't make it difficult for me!"

"With such a hero, what else can I not let go?"

Zhang Youde shouted at Xu Chong's back: "Over there, the dog, I bother the adults to take care of one or two......"

………

Xu Chong quickly returned to his previous position, just standing at the corner of the street and waiting quietly.

About another two quarters of an hour passed, and gradually some officials began to walk out of the alleys.

"My lord, I haven't found anything in Hongshi Hutong."

"Crescent Alley too."

"Old Tree Lane ......"

After everyone finished reporting, Xu Chong nodded and said, "Brothers, you have worked hard, and there is the last place in the black water dock, everyone cheer up, and when you catch someone, this official will take credit for you." ”

With Xu Chong's order, the team began to rush towards the black water dock.

What followed was a normal manhunt.

Since there was no serious road at all in Heishuiwu, it was not until the early hours of the morning that someone found Zhang Youde, who had been dead for a long time.

It is worth mentioning that Zhang Youde's body is far away from the ancestral home.

………

County office.

The lights are bright, and there are plenty of people.

Rao is Wu and Zhou Erren pretended to be calm, but Xu Chong still caught a touch of shock on their faces.

Wait, it will be your turn soon.

Xu Chong sentenced the two to death in his heart, and said with a cold face: "Lord County, the lower official led the crowd to chase down late at night, and finally killed the suspect, but why, didn't find the so-called evil book?" ”

“……”

Wu Wenjing and Zhou Ze glanced at each other, and their faces were ugly.

This is originally a trap, how can there be any evil books.

The question is... Killed?

How could a group of ordinary people kill Zhang Youde, who was twice enlightened.

Even if Zhang Youde is injured, at least there is no problem in escaping.

"Lord Xu, your duty is only to arrest."

Zhou Ze stepped forward, his eyes glowed coldly, and said, "As for the details of the case, I won't bother with it." ”

Xu Chong glanced at Zhou Ze deeply, flicked his sleeves and went to the Dianshi Office.

After he left, Zhou Ze immediately looked at the official on the side: "I want to know the complete process!" ”

"This..."

The official hesitated for only a moment, and then honestly told the matter from beginning to end.

Including Xu Chong's division of troops into the alley, as well as the large-scale search at the Black Water Dock.

Wu Erren did not believe it easily, but separated the officials and asked them separately, but in the end they got almost the same answer.

"Don't say it, you dare to ask us for exercises, this Xu Chong is really bold!"

In the county hall, Zhou Ze had a gloomy face.

"It's just a trifle, it's the same for anyone."

Wu Wenjing shook his head and frowned: "The question now is who killed Zhang Youde. ”

"Who else?"

Zhou Ze sneered, "Just one blow broke Zhang Youde's heart, so that he couldn't even resist, and the murderer was at least more than five enlightened." ”

"Do you suspect it's Wang Hezhi?"

Wu Wenjing pondered for a moment and said, "What went wrong with that, so that he could see your and my plan?" ”

"Only you, me, and Zhang Youde know about this, there is no doubt that Zhang Youde must have exposed his feet to his precious son."

Zhou Ze said without hesitation, "Old Ghost Wang is extremely cunning, and it is not surprising that it can be deduced to Zhang Youde according to some clues. ”

"That seems to be the only explanation."

Wu Wenjing nodded, and suddenly lowered his voice and asked, "Do you think he has any evidence against you and me?" ”

"This can rest assured, I have checked Zhang Youde's pupils, excited, apprehensive, and greedy, but there is no panic, it is obvious that he was killed instantly, and he did not see the face of the murderer."

Zhou Ze paused after speaking, and said: "And even if Zhang Youde reveals something, everyone is already dead, and there is no evidence, you and I are not afraid at all." ”

"That's good."

Wu Wenjing's hanging heart let go, and he immediately looked ruthless: "This old thing, if it weren't for the old man and him, how could he keep him to this day?" ”

"I'll talk about this later, the most important thing now is, what about Xu Youan's black money?"

Zhou Ze was not in a good mood, but he was more concerned about interests, "Without Zhang Youde, a martial slave, you and I can only take action in person." ”

"No, absolutely not!"

Wu Wenjing rejected the proposal without thinking about it, "At least not now, with Wang Hezhi staring at it, I can't consider it until I resign." ”

“……”

Zhou Ze wanted to turn his face very much, but he knew that he couldn't convince Wu Wenjing.

The atmosphere froze for a moment.

At this time, someone came to report: "Lord County, the old master of the county school asks to see you." ”

Wang Hezhi?

What is he doing here?

Wu Wenjing's complexion changed suddenly and he stood up.

Even Zhou Ze, who was still very determined just now, began to be shocked.

Could it be that Wang Hezhi really has any actual evidence?

Wu Wenjing pondered for a long time, flicked the sleeves of his robe and went out.

"It's a blessing or a curse, and let this official go and meet him for a while."

Soon, the two met in the main hall.

Zhou Ze hid alone in the dark to observe, ready to cooperate with the forcible killing.

"The old man is here, I guess the county lord has already guessed it."

After sitting down, Wang Hezhi did not greet each other, and spoke directly.

"Oh? Forgive the official for being stupid, what is the matter with what the master said? ”

Wu Wenjing played Tai Chi.

Wang He didn't like it in his heart, and said coldly: "Three years ago, the old man guessed that Zhang Youde was a martial slave, why should the county lord hide it anymore?" ”

"Wunu? What is this? Why has this official never heard of it? ”

Wu Wenjing looked surprised.

"That's fine."

Wang Hezhi suddenly lost all patience, and went straight to the point: "Other old men can turn a blind eye, but Zhang Shunyi, like Xu Chong, is a student of the old man, if there is no tangible evidence, the old man doesn't want Zhang Youde's case to involve him." ”

Wu Wenjing's heart sank, and he said with a smile: "The master is too worried, this official handles the case impartially, and will never wronged a good person, nor will he let a wicked person go." ”

"It's so good, the old man won't stay long."

Wang Hezhi nodded, and immediately left.

Come fast, go faster.

"I'm sure it's him."

Zhou Ze walked out of the shadows, his face was extremely ugly: "Zhang Youde's corpse was sent back to the yamen with his front foot, and he came up with his back foot, threatening us both inside and out. ”

"Although it's a threat, it's not a bad thing, I'm afraid that he won't be able to rub sand in his eyes."

Wu Wenjing smiled, his expression was more relaxed than before: "As long as we don't move Zhang Shunyi, with Wang Hezhi's character, we will never continue to fight with us in this matter." ”

"What about black money? Don't forget, he just specifically mentioned Xu Chong. ”

"No hurry, no hurry, let me think about ......"
