After Su Ziang and Chu Tian entered the Jingzhao Mansion, Tian Wenlin, the lord of the mansion, has repeatedly emphasized that the handling of cases in Luodu must be done in accordance with the law, and the old catcher Song De has also been paying attention to various rules for handling cases.

"Brother Chen said the word 'fraud', my brothers and I don't understand, please give me detailed guidance to understand?" Su Ziang asked.

"In a big case, the arrest and the offender are basically in the fog before the middle stage, and the arrest is not able to see the situation of the criminal, and the offender also does not know how much information the arrest has mastered. Chen Bufan said with a smile: "Both sides are doing everything possible to pay attention to each other and spy on intelligence, and strive to know the other side, grasp the opportunity, and achieve the final victory." ”

He pinched the wine glass in his hand and turned it around, and said, "But you can borrow the power of the imperial court and use all the resources of the dynasty to 'deceive' information." ”

"Brother Chen, how to implement it. ”

Chen Bufan said: "This needs to be operated according to the actual circumstances of the case. ”

"Then what does Brother Chen think about the case of the remains of the girl in the butterfly garden?" Su Ziang said.

"This is a big case, and the perpetrator has great powers, but I am afraid that there are people involved in it in the government and the opposition. Chen Bufan sighed and said: "Now this case is just a peep in the tube, for us and others, it is best not to participate in the investigation of this case." ”

"Don't you participate in solving the case?" Su Ziang said: "Isn't arresting fast just to uphold justice, catch thieves and thieves, and eliminate violence and peace?"

"Cough, cough," Song De coughed twice, and then answered: "When Lord Chen and I first started to catch fast, our idea was to seek justice for the people, but catching thieves in Luodu is like pulling weeds in the garden, and poisonous snakes are often hidden behind the weeds, so we must first consider our own safety." ”

"For example, in this butterfly garden bone abandonment case, who can quietly mutilate more than 100 girls in a few years? What is the purpose? What kind of people are involved?" Chen Bufan asked a few sentences, his face was slightly red, and said: "This case is best taken over by Jin Wuwei, and our ordinary arrest is to solve a small case, patrol the streets, eat and drink......

The four of them dispersed before the curfew and parted ways by the Jiukong Bridge, while Su Ziang and Chu Tian walked side by side along the river.

"Senior Brother Su, what are your wishes and dreams?" Chu Tian suddenly asked.

"When I have a little fame, I find my sister and mother, and I haven't thought about the rest yet. Su Ziang asked rhetorically, "Senior Brother Chu, what about you?"

Chu Tian said with a smile: "I have no intention of becoming famous, I just want to become a Xuanmen monk like Jin Zhenren." ”

Thinking of Jin Kunzi's Taihua Heavenly Trick, the kind of majestic majesty that shook the earth and the mountains, Su Ziang suddenly admired it, and said: "It seems that it is not easy to be a small catcher, I just hope to find Maitreya Buddha as soon as possible, and I can return to Taihua Mountain to concentrate on cultivation, and I don't know if Senior Sister Jin is now in the Yuan Infant Realm." ”

"Does Senior Brother Su like Senior Sister Qingyao more, or Senior Sister Jin more?"

"Who do you like?" Su Ziang shook his head and said, "Senior Sister Qingyao and Senior Sister Jin are both fairy-like existences, I never dared to think about this. ”

"The fairy doesn't dare to think about it, so let's take a look at the folk girl in Luoyang. Chu Tian chuckled: "Luodu is a prosperous place in the world from all directions, there are many giant thieves and bullies, there are many strange people, and there are more beautiful women from all over the world. ”

"The orchid wine shop is one of the best in Luodu, just now we have a table of wine and food in Yongle Building, I spent ten taels of silver when I went to pay the bill, if I go to the orchid wine shop, I am afraid that the silver is not good, so I have to use gold instead. ”

"Senior Brother Su doesn't want to go to the orchid restaurant to open his eyes?"

"Yes. Su Ziang said briskly: "The two of us have made meritorious contributions this time, according to Lord Tian's promise, most of them can be crowned a petty official, and then let's go to the orchid restaurant to celebrate." ”

"Good. There was more expectation in Chu Tian's eyes.

The news of the discovery of a large number of girls' skulls in the butterfly garden spread among the Luodu government and the public like wings, and rumors immediately spread throughout the city, becoming more and more mysterious.

A few days later, there were rumors that a group of evil spirits were seen haunting the butterfly garden at night, eating girls, and for a time everyone in Los Angeles was in danger.

"Knock, knock......"

The drums of Jingzhao Mansion, which had been sleeping for several years, rang out one afternoon, and Liu Xichu, the young Yin who was taking a nap in Jingzhao Mansion, was unhappy and shouted: "Who doesn't have long eyes? Dare to disturb the master and let me take a nap." ”

An errand officer rushed in like a gust of wind and shouted, "Lord Shaoyin, it's Lord Tian who is beating the drum, and he is losing his temper in the lobby and throwing things." ”

"The drum beaten by Lord Tian?" Liu Xichu was excited, jumped up with an arrow, put on an official hat, put on an official uniform, and rushed towards the lobby of Jingzhao Mansion with a smoke, and heard Tian Wenlin's roar outside the hall door.

"The silver of the imperial court has raised a group of waste, and when the official goes up, he will exempt you and others from being ordinary people, and go home to sell straw shoes, who should be on duty today?"

"Lord Yutian, the next official is on duty today. Liu Xichu was in the official hat outside the hall, touched the official uniform, stepped into the lobby of Jingzhao Mansion, and saw Tian Wenlin's black face, his eyes flashed fiercely, and he was immediately frightened.

"The general Zhu Jiuzhi and the seven soldiers shouted to him, and those who can't see anyone for an hour will be dismissed. Tian Wenlin didn't say a polite word, threw down a cruel word, and brushed his sleeves into the inner hall.

An hour later, seven people from Jingzhao Mansion joined the army, and the two young Yin gathered in the lobby of Jingzhao Mansion with sweat on their heads.

"Smack. Tian Wenlin was shocked, and shouted angrily: "Do you know what day it is?"

The officials in the hall looked at each other, not knowing what Tian Wenlin was angry about, why he asked, no one would answer first, and after a moment of silence, Liu Xichu said boldly: "Please show Lord Tian." ”

"Today is the first day of the countdown to your official duties. Tian Wenlin roared loudly: "Luo Du is under the governance of you, the people don't even dare to go out of the door, the thief who stole the jade pendant has not been caught, the red-clothed flower thief can't be caught, the life and death of the rich businessman and the giant are unknown, and the white-clothed female ghost who eats people has come out.

"Lord Otada. Liu Xichu said cautiously: "The female ghost in white is dressed as a human being, and there are two newcomers who have cut off the two arms of the female ghost, and a strange dress as physical evidence. ”

"Is there such a thing?" Tian Wenlin's face turned slightly pale, and he said, "What is the name of the catcher who cut off the arm of the ghost pretend?"

"Su Ziang, Chu Tian, is the person who was sponsored by General Qianniu Weizhuo, and he is also the person who found the jade pendant and folding fan for Tian Gongzi. Liu Xichu replied quickly, and said: "Lord Tian was anxious to find the jade pendant and folding fan at that time, and he promised to give the meritorious person a first-class official title, but now what position should he be awarded?"

"The sealing commission is guarding the military academy, and Lord Liu will hand over the declaration documents to the officials today, and the official will send a message to Li Shangshu again, and he will do this as soon as possible. Tian Wenlin was stunned for a moment, and said in surprise: "Su Ziang? This name is so familiar, it seems that I have heard it there before." ”

After a moment of silence, this Lord Jing Zhaoyin didn't seem to understand for a while, and asked again: "These two people have different surnames, what is the relationship with General Zhuo?"

"Xia Guan once inquired, according to General Zhuo's assignment, it is only after making old friends. Liu Xichu said.

Tian Wenlin asked: "How is the progress of the case of the red-clothed flower thief?" Lord Lin of Dali Temple also asked about this case yesterday. ”

"Jin Wuwei has sent someone to investigate the case with a head catcher in this mansion, and the flower thief has not been seen for nearly a year, and he has already escaped from Luodu. Liu Xichu said.

"It must still be in Luodu, this red-clothed flower thief has a different mind than ordinary people, most of them suffer from heartlessness, and he will go crazy when he sees the red skirt. Tian Wenlin said: "In the past few years, seven or eight cases have occurred in Luodu one after another, and this person must have a family and a job in Luodu. ”

Liu Xichu immediately flattered: "Lord Tian is wise. ”

"Let's all go down and get our things done. Tian Wenlin said earnestly: "Jingzhao Yin originally had the saying of 'Jingzhao on the fifth day', and you will open your eyes for a while, if there is one more big case that makes the people's feelings boil, the officials of Jingzhao Mansion will be heavily responsible by the imperial court." ”

"No, the subordinate officer takes the order. "The two Jingzhao Shaoyin and the seven soldiers bowed down together to receive the order.

"Wait, since this mansion can quickly cut off the two arms of the ghost pretend, it means that this person still has some ability, and this official has decided that this case will be investigated by our Jingzhao Mansion, and just ask Jin Wuwei's people to assist. Tian Wenlin commanded.

The officials in the palace whispered together again: "No, the lower official will receive the order." ”

When Su Ziang received a green robe, his mood was very complicated, and he had a feeling that life was like a dream, he was a fugitive, and with the support of the Taihua faction, he coincidentally became an eight-grade official of the Great Xia Dynasty, and he could receive five taels of silver and six stones of rice grain every month.

"Chutian, what kind of official is the person in the red robe?"

"According to the regulations of the Ministry of Rites of this dynasty, the green robe under the fifth grade, the red robe on the fifth grade, and the purple robe on the third grade. Chu Tian straightened his robe and said: "Civilians mostly wear round-necked robes, high-quality officials wear cross-collared shirts, and merchants and butchers must wear round-necked black shirts. ”

"I'll remember slowly, I don't know how to ask you again, let's go, Chen Zhutou is waiting for the two of us." Su Ziang hurried out.

Half a day ago, the Criminal Department issued a strict order;

With Chen Bufan as the mainstay, Su Ziang and Chu Tian led the Jingzhao Mansion officials to fully cooperate, and the deadline was three months to investigate the case of the girl's bone abandonment in Butterfly Valley.

Chen Bufan, the new official, immediately burned three fires.

1. Order all the servants of Jingzhao Prefecture to thoroughly investigate all shops, houses, and most importantly temples and Taoist temples within the Luoshui area, with the butterfly garden as the center, and mainly investigate the number of girls who have disappeared about three years old in recent years.

2. Hire water ghosts to thoroughly investigate all the creeks and branch rivers within a radius of more than ten miles from the butterfly garden, mainly to find out if there are any abandoned bones of girls under the water.

3. Send Su Ziang and Chu Tian to wear neat belts, ride white horses, beat gongs and drums, and parade along the main streets of Luodu to praise officials.

Regarding the above three points, Su Ziang and Chu Tian did not know what they meant, and they had consulted Chen Bufan.

"The first two are called casting a wide net, carefully examining the evidence to see if we can find some further useful clues. Chen Bufan explained.

"What is the purpose of the street officials?"

"First, to stabilize the hearts of the people, there is an enemy's arm as proof that it is not a ghost, and secondly, the strength of the criminal is very high, seeing the two brothers parade the street with two arms, they will be furious, if they rush out to kill Lord Su and Lord Chu, is our opportunity to come?"

"Brother Chen, it turns out that the two of us are parading the streets fake, and when the bait is real?"

"The Taihua faction is famous all over the world, how can the two young heroes be afraid of the demons. Chen Bufan praised him bitterly, and said: "The Criminal Department has named us to solve the case, we can only solve the case, come to eliminate harm for the people, and make a name for ourselves." ”

Su Ziang and Chu Tian were covered by the Taihua faction of young heroes, eliminating harm for the people, and making a name for themselves, so they could only look at each other and laugh.
