Since then, the matter of the "water monster" eating people in the bay at the mouth of the Beijiang cave has been broken.

The masses praised one after another: The county lord has managed well, and Zhang Shaofei has done a great thing for us in addition to a harm.

Zhang Shaofei revealed the case of "water monster" cannibalism, carrying the bag of silver, as soon as he stepped into the door, Wang Shaoxiang saw it and asked angrily: "Where have you been in the past two days?" After a few days, there was no news! You're hairy and winged, and you'll fly! Do you know how worried A-Niang is about you?! ”

It turned out that Zhang Shaofei was about to separate from the county magistrate Zhang Zhongchang in the entrance of the cave that day, and was stopped by Zhang Zhongchang in his carriage and drove Zhang Shaofei back to the county office. The county magistrate was eager to solve the case, so he warmly retained Zhang Shaofei and continued to discuss strategies in the back hall. Since the relevant items need to be prepared in advance to solve the case, Zhang Shaofei has to handle it himself, so he can only go home after the case is solved.

Zhang Shaofei saw that his mother was worried about his safety like this, so he hurriedly knelt in front of Lu Huilan and told him what had happened in the past two days. Finally, he handed the bag of silver to Lu Huilan and said, "Ah Niang, at that time, I was afraid that Ah Niang would worry about me, so I didn't come back to tell you." ”

What else can I say, Wang Shaoxiang looked at Zhang Shaofei in front of him, sighed, and muttered to himself: Alas, it seems that Fei'er has grown up, and there is a way to be "the world of boys", there are some things, you are worried, and you can't worry about it.

……

Early the next morning, after breakfast, Wang Shaoxiang took out the bag of bounty, divided it into three parts, and said to Zhang Shaofei: "Fei'er, today you take the time to go to the county government and hand over the twenty taels of silver to Mrs. Zhang; The twenty taels of silver were given to Lu Huilan as a reward, and the remaining twenty taels of silver were saved by A-Niang for you. ”

Zhang Shaofei nodded and said, "A-Niang is right, I'll go to the county government first." ”

"Go and come back quickly!" Wang Shaoxiang looked at it and repeatedly explained to Zhang Shaofei and said.

"Well, don't worry, A-Niang." After Zhang Shaofei finished speaking, he picked up a piece of money and went out.

Zhang Shaofei came all the way to the county office, and the two officials in front of the door recognized Zhang Shaofei at a glance and introduced him very politely into the back hall.

Zhang Zhongchang has not yet arrived at the point of promotion, he is eating in the back hall, and when he saw Zhang Shaofei, he immediately asked him to go over and eat first.

Zhang Shaofei said politely: "Xiaomin has had breakfast at home, Lord Zhang, please use it slowly, I will wait for you in the outer hall." ”

"No, you just sit on the chair on the table, and let's eat and chat, it's more convenient." Zhang Zhongchang said while personally pouring a cup of tea for Zhang Shaofei and putting it in front of Zhang Shaofei.

Zhang Shaofei was once again moved by Mrs. Zhang's polite and virtuous corporal.

After eating, Zhang Zhongchang looked at Zhang Shaofei kindly, and started a homely meal with Zhang Shaofei.

When Zhang Zhongchang learned that the young man in front of him was the son of Zhang Jinzhao, a classmate of his mentor Pei Zhong, he was really embarrassed, and looked Zhang Shaofei up and down.

Zhang Shaofei saw that Mrs. Zhang was looking at him fixedly, so he said straight to Zhang Zhongchang.

After hearing this, Zhang Zhongchang said a little unhappily: "Ah Fei, your aunt is too worried, assist you, this is the old man's business, this reward is what you deserve, take it back and honor your mother, she worked hard to raise you to adulthood, it is not easy!" I will visit your mother another day and thank him for raising a smart and capable man for the people. ”

After Zhang Shaofei thanked his mother personally, he was about to get up to say goodbye, when he suddenly heard Zhang Zhongchang sigh softly "sigh", and stopped talking.

Zhang Shaofei asked, "What are you sighing about?" ”

Zhang Zhongchang asked, hesitated for a moment, and then said: "Alas, it's not related to the case. This time, I was transferred to Qiu County, and a few days ago I went through the old case and found that the verdict of a rape and murder case may have been wrong. But I didn't have a clue for a while, so I sighed depressedly. ”

"Oh, I see. I wonder if the adults are suspicious of the rape and murder case? Zhang Shaofei asked by the way.

So, Zhang Zhongchang told Zhang Shaofei about the case:

It turned out that in Ding Village, near the county seat of Qiu County, there was a hunter surnamed Wu and his second name, who lost his wife in middle age and did not remarry, and only had a daughter named Feiyan under his knees.

Wu Erhan worked hard to raise his daughter, and finally, Feiyan grew to eighteen years old.

As the saying goes; Eighteen girls have a flower. Feiyan is also as beautiful as a flower, ingenious, and very filial to her father.

Wu Er regards his daughter as the pearl of his palm and loves him very much.

The matchmaker saw that the Wu family had a girl who had just grown up, and she came to the door every day to say goodbye.

But Feiyan loves her lonely father very much, and Wu Er also thinks that her daughter is still young and is reluctant to leave her, so she has not talked about marriage.

Unexpectedly, in this year, a sudden disaster struck.

One day, Wu Er went up the mountain to hunt and came home late, and when he saw that the door of his house was open, he knew that something was wrong, and immediately shouted loudly: "Ah Yan! But he didn't see his daughter respond.

Wu Er hurriedly turned on the lamp, only to see his daughter naked and tied to the bed bench.

Wu Er hurriedly stepped forward and put his hand on the middle of Feiyan's head, and found that he had stopped breathing, but half of his tongue was left at the foot of the bed.

Wu Er immediately went to the county office to report the case.

The predecessor, Tan Zhixian, was a sloppy person, who immediately ordered someone to be sent to the scene for an autopsy and ordered the search for the murderer.

A few days later, a man with a broken tongue was arrested in a ruined temple.

This man's surname is Fu, with a single name and a chong character, and he is a native of Duji Village, a neighboring village of Ding Village, and he is a person who is lazy and wanders around.

At the beginning of the trial, the man's tongue was broken and his speech was slurred.

What he said roughly meant: That evening, he passed by Wu Er's house, and when he saw that the door was not closed, he slipped in and hugged Feiyan and kissed him, but she bit off his tongue; He was in terrible pain, and he fled in a hurry without killing Feiyan.

Tan Zhixian listened to Fu Chong's confession with great difficulty, but he didn't believe it, so he waited for a heavy sentence.

Fu Chong was beaten into a trick, so he had to admit to raping and killing Feiyan.

Based on this confession, Tan Zhixian sentenced Fu Chong to death, and he will be beheaded after the autumn.

After listening to Zhang Zhixian's statement, Zhang Shaofei said: "Master Zhang has a clear understanding of everything, and it is quite reasonable to suspect that this case is an unjust, false and wrongly decided case. ”

Then, Zhang Shaofei analyzed the doubts of the case:

For example, after Fu Chong was bitten off by Ding Feiyan, he must have been in pain and rolled in place. So, what mood does Fu Chong have to be violent again?

And judging from the scene, the murderer took off Feiyan's foot strap to tie her hands, and then stripped her of her clothes and pants. According to this reasoning, there must be more than one perpetrator, and the murderer will not be the one with the broken tongue.

Zhang Zhixian listened to Zhang Shaofei's analysis and nodded frequently.

After Zhang Shaofei finished analyzing, Zhang Zhixian asked earnestly: "Is there a plan to solve the case?" ”

Zhang Shaofei pretended to be mysterious and said: "If you want to catch the real murderer, you must be so ......" After Zhang Shaofei finished speaking, he attached a clever plan to Zhang Zhixian's ear.

After Zhang Zhixian heard this, he even said a clever plan.

The next day, Zhang Zhixian acted according to the plan, promoted the case to trial, brought Fu Chong out of death row, beat 30 boards, and released him on the spot.

Fu Chong picked up the pen and wrote the words "Thank you Master Qingtian" under the court, knocked his head three times and left.

From now on, Zhang Zhixian Risheng Hall interrogated the bed bench and the two foot ties in Wu Er's house.

It was determined that the bed bench was circumstantial evidence of this homicide case, and the footband was an accomplice, and he wanted to confess these two things and make meritorious contributions.

After the news spread, people who heard such novel news from near and far felt very ridiculous.

The people who came to see the excitement whispered, saying that this new county magistrate Mo is not mentally ill, how can there be such a trial? It's a story for the ages.

A few days later, a notice was posted outside the yamen: The case of Wu Feiyan's rape and murder will be reviewed tomorrow, and men from Dingcun, Duji, and Qiu County under its jurisdiction must be present to observe, otherwise they will be punished as criminals.

Early in the morning, there was already a sea of people outside the yamen.

Due to the large number of people, the yamen hall could not accommodate so many people, and the review had to be carried out in the compound of the county ya.

As soon as the opening time came, Zhang Zhixian sat high on the seat of the county magistrate placed on the steps, patted the wood, and announced in public: In order to find out this rape and murder case, this official shocked the three worlds of people, gods, and ghosts. I have ordered the servants to tie the deceased's two foot ties to the two stone pillars in the compound, and all the men who want to go out of the yamen must automatically line up and walk with their hands in turn.

People were unprepared that Zhang Zhixian would come out like this, and suddenly became nervous and silent.

People who have nothing to do with this case believe in the gods, and one by one walks calmly.

After about an hour, the number of people left in the courtyard gradually became scarce. But the killer has not yet appeared.

The people who walked out of the yamen were unwilling to leave, and they wanted to see the county order to arrest the murderer.

Zhang Zhixian seemed to be very sure, and kept his eyes on the few people who were left.

It's strange to say, at this time, I saw two people hesitating, one after the other approached the footbands tied to the two stone pillars in the compound, and their hands trembled very much before they touched the footbands.

Seeing this, Zhang Zhixian shouted: "These two people are murderers!" Take it for me! ”

Several officials immediately went up to arrest the two people, and the scene was suddenly thunderous.

Zhang Shaofei's clever plan worked.

Zhang Zhixian went to interrogate the bed bench and foot belt, but secretly investigated and secretly visited, and mastered the clues of the two suspects.

The two suspects, one named Yan Fakui and the other Cui Defu, are from the county seat of Qiu County, and they are the two scoundrels who punched and kicked the old beggar and seriously injured Zhang Shaofei during the Mid-Autumn Festival.

Cui Defu and Yan Fakui usually get together, they are prostitutes, gamblers, and misbehaps, they are famous scoundrels and villains in this area, they are abducted, cheated, robbed, bullied men and women, and did all kinds of evil, in the days when this case happened, the two disappeared without a trace.

After Fu Chong was arrested and put on death row, the two reappeared, peeking at Zhang Zhixian's interrogation bench and interrogation belt in the crowd, and secretly laughing at the new Zhixian being a big straw bag, but they didn't know that they were arrested.

Under the interrogation, the truth was revealed.

It turned out: That day, Fu rushed into the door to kiss him, was bitten off by Feng Feiyan, and fled in embarrassment; And Cui Defu and Yan Fakui happened to pass by Feng's house, entered the house and worked together to tie up Feng Feiyan and rape him.

Afterwards, I was afraid that the East Window incident would happen, so I simply strangled Feng Feiyan to death.

Where did Cui Defu and Yan Fakui think: Skynet is restored, and they can't escape Zhang Shaofei's clever plan.
