Xu Taiping suppressed the killing intent.

Patiently talking with Wang Gang.

When Wang Gang relaxed his vigilance, he suddenly asked, "Why do you want Wang Mingqiang to be the head catcher?" ”

Wang Gang smiled bitterly: "No way, he is not a business material, he doesn't like to study, and he doesn't want to be a soldier, thinking about it, only being a head catcher is still a way out, at least close to home, and he can take care of the family's business to some extent......"

Speaking of this, he hurriedly apologized: "The villain really doesn't know what Xu Ye also wants to do, otherwise, the villain won't be able to -"

Xu Taiping waved his hand.

Interrupt Wang Gang.

"When did your son enter the Tao?"

"Half a year ago."

"Huh? Is it a worship of the pure mountain? ”

"That's right, an inner disciple of Qingjing Mountain."

"What kind of fate?"

"It's also a coincidence, when the villain went to Annan Prefecture to transport grain, he was entrusted to go to Qingjing Mountain to have a little something, and the dog went along, and was accepted as an apprentice by the disciple of Qingjing Mountain, and gave a jade Jane, which is the one you use, Xu Ye."

When Wang Gang said this, he said with a smile: "Speaking of which, you can also be regarded as a disciple of Qingjing Mountain. ”

Xu Taiping continued to ask: "Sending Wang Mingqiang as a head catcher, is it really from the heart?" ”

"Yes."

"Haven't anybody dialed?"

"Nope."

"Are you sure? Haven't heard of it once? ”

Wang Gang hesitated a little at this time: "This ......"

Xu Taiping drank lightly: "Say." ”

Wang Gang hurriedly said: "If you really want to talk about it, I had this idea somewhat because of the shopkeeper in the store. ”

"What's going on?"

"Half a month ago, when the store encountered a little trouble, I asked the catchers of the fast class to come forward, and spent a lot of silver, and he said that it would be good if Ming Qiang was the head catcher."

Xu Taiping narrowed his eyes.

That's the thing.

It's just a few small ruffians who come to the door to blackmail, stay at the door of the Jufu and don't leave, but they don't fight or do illegal things, just rely on it.

Later, the shopkeeper of the Jufu found the fast catching class, and spent five taels of silver to ask Zhou Dafu and a dozen other fast catchers to come forward to drive away those ruffians.

At that time, he was already running Xu Qing's relationship to plan for the position of catching the head, and he didn't participate, but he knew about it.

Unexpectedly, this incident also led to such a plot.

So.

The old shopkeeper's words, is it really a casual feeling?

Or is it specifically for Wang Gang?

It's like...... The old monkey who ordered Sun Wukong to enter the Dragon Palace, go to the underworld, go to the heavenly court, and cross the ocean to study and apprentice.

There is no evidence.

But it's too much of a coincidence.

It's hard not to be suspicious.

But.

Xu Taiping didn't ask again.

Ask too many questions, and it's easy to arouse suspicion.

Xu Taiping nodded slightly, and changed the topic: "It's all in the past, don't talk about it, don't talk about it, Boss Wang, I have a private matter to ask you." ”

Wang Gang hurriedly said, "Xu Ye ordered." ”

"I don't have a place to live now, I'm going to rent a house, do you know where there is a good small yard for rent, it doesn't need to be too big, it's clean and tidy."

"You can ask the right person about this, yes, yes, there is such a small courtyard in the west of the city, six zhang long, four zhang wide, seven or eight rooms, there are gatehouses and warehouses, there are front and back yards, very elegant, very clean."

"For rent?"

"Yes, rent, the rent is not high, only twenty taels of silver a year, everything, with a set of bedding you can move in."

"Who's the landlord?"

"A friend of mine."

Xu Taiping smiled when he heard this.

Friend?

How can it be such a coincidence.

Needless to say, it must be Wang Gang's own industry.

So, nodding tacitly.

took out twenty taels of silver and put it in front of Wang Gang: "This is a year's rent, please transfer it to your friend, and then write a receipt." ”

"Hey, Master Xu, the silver is not in a hurry......"

"I'm in a hurry, I'm going to move in tonight."

"That's good, the little one will clean it up, and then let someone lead Xu Ye to recognize the door."

"Thank you."

"It should be, it should be."

Wang Gang finished speaking.

Pick up the silver and turn around three times to say goodbye.

Wu Liuyi and the others saw Wang Gang leaving, and then they rushed out: "Master Xu, old man Wang ......"

Xu Taiping interrupted Wu Liuyi's words: "Did you buy the enlightenment book that you bought?" ”

"Bought it, Master Xu."

"How many people would like to be literate with them?"

"Seven or eight."

"Okay, I'll be a literacy teacher for you, so you don't even know how to write your name."

Prefectural Order's Study.

Zhou Yucheng held a landscape painting in both hands and admired it carefully.

Long.

casually asked, "What did Xu Taiping do?" ”

Xu Qing hurriedly replied: "The owner, Xu Taiping has been basking in the sun since he came back from the east of the city, and he seems to be scared a lot, so he should use the sun to calm down." ”

"What else?"

"I saw Wang Gang, accepted the title deed sent by Wang Gang, and spent 20 taels of silver to rent Wang Gang's small courtyard in the west of the city.

Zhou Yucheng sneered: "If you don't solve the case, you have done the work of studying politics." ”

Xu Qing whispered: "Xu Taiping once promised Wu Liuyi to teach Wu Liuyi martial arts. ”

Zhou Yucheng sneered: "Start teaching from literacy, and you can't teach it until the Year of the Monkey, Ma Yue can't teach it, really when martial arts exercises can anyone practice?" ”

"Indeed, there is no transmission of martial arts, teaching martial arts in words, it is too difficult, a "Xuanmen Zhou Tiangong" has tens of thousands of words, mixed with a large number of meridians, acupuncture points and Taoist metaphysics exclusive vocabulary, is a scholar who has read poetry and books, but also has to study for many years to understand, and then practice, and to explore step by step, the difficulty of cultivation can be seen."

"Don't worry about him," Zhou Yucheng snorted lightly: "It almost ruined my good thing, but fortunately, it's soon, there are still fourteen days." ”

Xu Qing peeked in.

Seeing that there was excitement on the owner's face.

There was a little nervousness in the excitement.

I couldn't help but get nervous.

After following the owner for five or six years, I know that the owner has been laying out, but I don't know what I am planning, and I have never heard a word in the owner's mouth.

Even, it wasn't until the past two days that I found out the clues, and I found out that the owner was going to do something big.

But.

As a master who advises the owner.

But I don't know the owner's plan.

It's a terrible feeling.

It's that feeling of losing control of the situation.

So, I couldn't help but ask, "Boss, what are you planning?" ”

Zhou Yucheng quickly restrained his expression: "You are a smart person, you can do your duty, and when it is done, you will know." ”

Xu Qing was awe-struck and nodded hurriedly: "The villain understands." ”

Zhou Yucheng directly changed the topic: "Assign another task to Xu Taiping, don't let him be idle, it's still the original plan, help him solve the case, and make a name for him." ”

"Yes, host."

Catch fast class.

Xu Taiping led the crowd to catch quickly, and saluted respectfully: "I've seen the master." ”

Xu Qing nodded slightly.

put a file in front of Xu Qing: "This is also an old case, you can take someone to see it, it is best to solve it, if it can't be solved, just seal it, if you don't solve the case, the victim's family will be gone." ”

Xu Taiping's expression was solemn: "My subordinates must work hard to solve the case." ”

Xu Qing nodded, turned around and left.

Xu Taiping hurriedly followed and presented the title deed sent by Wang Gang.

Xu Qing accepted it, still didn't say a word, and left directly.

Xu Taiping narrowed his eyes and watched Xu Qing return to the county office, and then opened the file.

It's really an old case.

The case from two years ago.

Before the crossing, the case of two years ago was really not old, and it was almost the same for more than ten years.

But in this feudal era, the case two months ago was an old case, and the probability of cracking it was very low.

Two years?

As Xu Qing said, two years later, the victims' families may be gone.

In these years, a slight headache and brain fever are gone.

The family of the victim in this case is in a much worse situation than a headache and brain fever.

The case is

Dossier records.

Nature of the case: homicide.

Time of the case: August 15, 25th year of Xuanning, the night of the Mid-Autumn Festival.

Facts of the case: Wang Laogen reported the case overnight, saying that his son Wang Shuisheng hacked his mother-in-law Wang to death with a kitchen knife in the kitchen, and then fled.

After repeated examination, Wang Shuisheng did not have the motive and time to commit the crime.

The dossier is also recorded.

Wang Shuisheng had a conflict with his father Wang Laogen because of family property in his early years, and he has not been in contact with him for more than ten years, and even severed the father-son relationship under the witness of the government.

Therefore, some people suspect that the murderer is Wang Laogen himself.

suspects that Wang Laogen killed his wife and married his son to get out of his evil spirit.

But it's just suspicion, no evidence.

Thereupon.

The case had to be put on hold.

It's just that Wang Laogen is old, and he was tortured, leaving a serious disease, his body deteriorated rapidly, and he suffered for two years, and he didn't have a few days to live.
