Chapter Twenty-Eight: Breaking into the County Government

Li Zhai secretly wrote down this area, and he planned to say a word to Kong Yilong, and then go back to rest.

Tossed in the middle of the night, even if you want to catch the murderer, you need to recuperate, right?

On the street of Beicheng, Li Zhai saw Kong Yilong, Ma Yu and others who came in a hurry.

"Brother Li, what happened?" Kong Yilong asked.

Previously, he saw Li Zhai flying in this direction, thinking that something important was happening, so he brought someone over to support.

Li Zhai did not hide it, and briefly explained the matter.

"What, there is a dark shadow man who erased Liu Yunian's soul, and Qian Zonghao may have been killed by him?"

Kong Yilong listened to Li Zhai's situation, and his eyes suddenly lit up, but then he was full of disappointment.

The other party is too difficult to deal with, and it may not be a human being, Li Zhai couldn't catch such a powerful hand, why did he arrest it?

"Brother Kong, it's not too early, let's go back and rest first, it's not too late to deal with anything tomorrow. ”

Li Zhai didn't say what was in his heart.

Because he was afraid of startling the snake, he didn't believe Ma Yu and Hou San, after all, people's hearts are separated from their stomachs, who knows what their relationship is with the murderer who disguised his identity?

"It's okay, Brother Li Dao, we'll see you tomorrow!"

At this moment, it was the second half of the night, and it was time to rest, Kong Yilong nodded.

After separating from each other, Li Zhai returned to the small courtyard of Tingyuxuan behind the Yunlai Inn.

The innkeeper promised to let them live for free for half a month, Fu Yuhe and Shen Rou's mother and daughter had already returned to Shen's house, and he was the only one in the huge courtyard.

Li Zhai entered his room, put the gossip robe, gossip hat, dust, and peach wood sword into the storage bag, and then fell asleep.

When I opened my eyes again, it was already the next morning.

Li Zhai got up and washed his face, changed back into the blue boy's robe, and walked out of the courtyard with the Taoist priest's hair bun a little, and just met Kong Yilong, who was oncoming.

"Brother Kong, you have something to worry about, you might as well talk to me. ”

Li Zhai saw Kong Yilong's frowns, and couldn't help but ask.

"Hey~, don't mention it, the county commander Zou is furious again today.

scolded me for a while, saying that I am not worthy of my name, wine bag and rice bag, if I can't solve the case tomorrow, I will go back to Dongliu Town......"

Kong Yilong sighed and said helplessly.

"How can you blame Brother Kong? You've only been in office for two days......

Li Zhai comforted Kong Yilong.

As they spoke, the two left the backyard of the Yunlai Inn and walked to an intersection where the street was full of buying and selling shops.

Li Zhai saw the main gate of the county government in the distance, and his heart couldn't help but move.

It was here that he should have met Kong Yilong, Ma Yu and the others last night, and he had just left the area where the black shadow had disappeared.

Counting it up, the inner house of the county government is also within the range where the black shadow may be hidden, but because of preconceived ideas, I didn't go to the inner house where the county lord Zou Xun and his wife lived.

This parent official of Changping County, will there be a problem with the county commander Zou Lao?

Otherwise, why would he be so harsh on Kong Yilong, is he really just eager to solve the case?

"Brother Kong, you haven't eaten breakfast yet, let's go, fill your stomach first, maybe you can have a clue in a while?"

Li Zhai smiled and patted Kong Yilong on the shoulder, and pulled him to a stall selling bean curd, buns, and fritters on the side of the street.

Also, what problems can you solve if you worry about it.

Kong Yilong quickly figured it out, and rushed to pay after breakfast.

After all, two days ago, he said that Li Zhai had done him a great favor, so why should he drink when he said goodbye?

turned out to be a meal for him last night, and I was really a little unhappy.

"Brother Kong, I'll go to visit the county commander Zou in a while, what kind of gift do you think you should bring?"

Leaving the stall selling breakfast, Li Zhai smiled and rushed to Kong Yilongdao.

"Brother Li, why did he suddenly think of going to see that Zou Xun, you have something?" Kong Yilong was puzzled, after all, he was reprimanded by the other party not long ago, but he didn't want to touch his head again.

"It's not too big, I just want to ask when the verdict will be announced in the case of Wangcai and Pan Ren, after all, I am entrusted by people and must always be loyal to people. ”

Li Zhai casually explained, in fact, any question about the case is rhetoric, and the ultimate purpose of his visit to Zou Xun is to see if the other party has any problems.

"Why don't Brother Li bring some pastries? ”

Speaking of giving gifts, if the gift is too expensive, there is a suspicion of bribery, Kong Yilong didn't want to know the law and break the law, so he said so after a little groaning.

"Okay. ”

Li Zhai nodded, bought a few packs of osmanthus cakes and pineapple cakes on the side of the road, and walked towards the county government with Kong Yilong carrying the pastry box.

At the front door of the county government, there is Kong Yilong, the head catcher, and there is no problem in entering.

However, if the county lord does not have a case to be promoted, he is usually in the backyard house, and if Li Zhai wants to see him, he must wait for the maid or master to report, and even Kong Yilong does not have the right to go straight to the inner house.

Under the guidance of Kong Yilong, Li Zhai met his master Zou Ping, who had a three-wisp goatee, looked in his forties, and was slightly thin.

It is said that Zou Ping was originally Zou Xun's companion when he was young, and later Zou Xun became a county magistrate after taking the exam, so he was promoted to master.

"Kong Yilong, you didn't go to investigate the murder case and arrest the murderer, why did you bring outsiders to the county office?"

Zou Ping rolled his eyes, and his tone was not too friendly.

"Oh, that's the case, this friend of mine has something to ask to see Lord Zou, the county commander, please report it, master. ”

Kong Yilong squeezed out a smile and handed the pastry in his hand to the other party.

"Hey, it's exactly the same yin and evil qi in that Qian Zonghao's body, is there really something wrong with this county master?"

While Kong Yilong was talking to Zou Ping, Li Zhai took the opportunity to unleash his spiritual powers, and he immediately found some faint familiar aura on Zou Ping's body.

This should be that he is often close to the real murderer, so he is contaminated with his body, and it is not self-generated.

Zou Ping and Zou Xun have a very close relationship and are often together, if he is not, then it is very likely to be the county commander Zou Xun.

"The master is not free, he will not see any guests, you let him go back," Zou Ping did not take the pastry at all, he refused directly.

Kong Yilong's face changed slightly, this Zou Ping refused him if he was good at making an assertion, he didn't give face, he was on an errand in a yamen, and he didn't see anyone looking up and looking down.

"Oh, is it not free? Or is it inconvenient to see people during the day?"

Li Zhai smiled, and the words he said made Kong Yilong, Zou Ping, and several yacha next to him all change their faces greatly.

"Boy, what nonsense are you talking about? You dare to accuse Master Zou in the county office, you don't want to live anymore?"

Zou Ping's tone became colder and colder, and he stared at Li Zhai and reprimanded.

Li Zhai was not angry at all, he said I don't want to worry about the master if I don't want to live, but you are contaminated with yin and evil spirits, if you don't deal with it for a long time, I am afraid that your life will not be long!

"Nonsense, kick this alarmist boy out of here!"

"Wait!"

After listening to Master Zou Ping's instructions, several yacha were about to rush up, but they were stopped by Kong Yilong, he looked at Li Zhai and said, "Brother Li Dao, what have you discovered?"

"Yes, this master has the same evil aura as Qian Zonghao, the son of the Qian family, and I suspect that even if he is not a murderer, he is inseparable from the murderer. ”

Li Zhai said firmly, and when he spoke, his eyes swept to the county office.

"Okay, then I'll believe Brother Li once. ”

When Kong Yilong nodded, he threw the pastry to Hou San, who happened to come from outside, quickly pulled out the saber at his waist and put it against Zou Ping's neck, and then said to a few yacha:

"Brothers, you have also heard that Master Zou is related to the frequent murders in the city, and he must be taken down first, if the real murderer is not caught today, I will bear the consequences. ”
