Getting to the point in one step, the communication between the two quickly became harmonious. Feng Ziying and Fang Kezhuang both liked this style.
Feng Ziying simply thought that talking to whomever she wanted to talk to and doing things together would be enough, while Fang Kezhuang felt that the other party was not just a wasted reputation, but really had a lot of tricks up his sleeve.
"I have studied this case carefully after I took office. It is simple to say that although it is impossible to say who is the murderer at present, we can rule out some things first. Two of the brothers of the Su family have been ruled out. There are witnesses, and more than
one."
Fang Kezhuang is not strong at all and has a thin body, but he is very elegant in his actions and words. "The remaining Fourth Su can be traced by us in Tongzhou. I don't believe that he came out of the casino and was by the firewood pile."
If my son goes to sleep, no one will see him? The area around the Dafa Casino is famous for its privy houses. There are no less than a hundred prostitutes, and Mr. Su is also a well-known person here and knows them all..."
Fang Kezhuang acted vigorously and did what he said. He immediately recruited three teams of police officers and execution room officials. After all, these people were local gangsters. The incident was also a big deal in the local area at that time, and the memory is still fresh.
, this kind of thing should have been implemented a long time ago, but the result was the discord between the state and the government, and the two sides were pushing and shoving the blame.
“It seems that Brother Yangchu and my younger brother have basically the same views. I wonder how you will deal with Zheng’s incident?”
After some contact, the two gradually became familiar with each other. In addition, they had a meal and a few drinks in the morning. They were both fellow Shandong fellows and northern scholars. Even though Fang Kezhuang originally had some opinions about Feng Ziying,
But with Feng Ziying's ability to make friends, they quickly melted away and became closer.
"Ziying, don't come and set me up. Don't you know who is behind the Zheng family?" Fang Kezhuang glanced sideways at Feng Ziying, "Even Lord Fu Yin is not willing to provoke him, do you just want to see him?
Fang is going to get into trouble?"
"That's not the case. Even if Mrs. Zheng is involved with Concubine Zheng, I'm thinking that Concubine Zheng doesn't want this matter to continue fermenting like this, right? One day, the news will spread to the palace, or for a certain royal family member
What we know finally reaches the ears of the emperor, so we can’t live without it.”
Feng Ziying said with a smile.
"What you said makes sense, but who can tell a woman's mind clearly? Once she becomes unreasonable, it will be really troublesome. Fang has just arrived in Tongzhou and doesn't want to cause such trouble." Fang Kezhuang.
He shook his head repeatedly.
“Brother Yang Chu, this is not your style. You can kill two people with a stick just after you arrive. How can you be a timid person?” Feng Ziying continued to wear a high hat.
"Okay, those are two different things, how can they be compared? Don't talk about this, Ziying, this should be your Shuntian government office's business. You are the famous Xiao Feng Xiuzhuan in the capital. I believe you have the skills to get through.
Don't make it difficult for your brother." Fang Kezhuang leaned on the official hat chair, picked up the tea cup and took a sip, "Everything else is easy to talk about, it's your turn to come forward in this matter."
Seeing that Fang Kezhuang was unmoved, Feng Ziying also laughed, "This case involves the dock worker who said that Zheng was having an affair with outside merchants. I think this situation is very important and must be investigated. This case
Brother Yangchu should be shouldering the responsibility for the matter, right?"
"Ziying, are you going to touch this?" Fang Kezhuang glanced at Feng Ziying and said meaningfully: "This is very personal and taboo. In fact, you and I both know that even if the Zheng family is...
There is adultery among outsiders, but the possibility of killing Su Daqiang is not high..."
"Brother Yang Chu, I know this, but if this possibility is not ruled out, I will never feel at ease. I can't just ignore it for this reason, right? What if? Isn't it a possibility that I have missed?
"Feng Ziying shook her head, "I don't have such a habit."
Fang Kezhuang secretly praised Feng Ziying's persistence. As a government official, he should have such persistence and responsibility. When human life is at stake, how can he let it go? He was just a temptation before. Take a look at this famous person.
Whether or not the reputation of being a scholar from the same hometown as Da Lou is worthy of his name, now it seems that he is not in vain.
“Then what are you going to do?” Fang Kezhuang asked.
"Well, there is always a way." Feng Ziying saw Fang Kezhuang's worry, "Don't worry, brother Yang Chu, I am just a young kid who just debuted. I still know the pros and cons, and I must find a way to make everyone happy.
The path to acceptance.”
“You want to do well, but I don’t want to see the whole city making a fuss over this matter and making countless enemies. Wouldn’t that make Mr. Qi Ge and the others very disappointed?” Fang Kezhuang reminded.
With the honor and disgrace shared, we have no friendship, but they still know how to weigh things that are related to the overall situation.
"Brother Yangchu, don't push it. It's still up to you to do the work in Tongzhou. Lifu must be investigated, but there is no need to make it public. Ask again to see if there is anything else that can be recalled. We must find this clue.
, after verification, I can negotiate with Concubine Zheng..."
Fang Ziying's words surprised Fang Kezhuang, "Ziying, you have to be careful. When it comes to palace matters, don't get involved at will. Don't think that because the emperor values you, you have no scruples. Such things are like a pillow."
Once it blows, that’s..."
Fang Kezhuang was a civil servant and had been in the local area for a long time. He was originally in Dingzhou and was actually somewhat unfamiliar with the capital city. He had only arrived in Tongzhou not long ago and he still had a rough idea of what was going on in the court. However,
The matter of being banned is far less understood than a character like Feng Ziying, who has a martial arts background and is well-connected in the court.
Most of the outside world thinks that the new concubines must be favored by the emperor, and they may not indulge in pleasure every night. How many people know that the emperor has actually given up sexual relations with men and women, and has lived a long life with a pure heart and few desires?
These new concubines are even just decorations. Like Jia Yuanchun's Fengzao Palace, the emperor only visited it briefly during the day and never visited it at all. The other concubines are probably in a similar situation, but they are just
It just pretends to be magnificent on the outside, hiding people's ears and eyes.
Not to mention foreign ministers like Fang Kezhuang, except for a few big shots and important ministers among the ministers of the court, those few officials who were well-informed and had contacts with the imperial ministers knew something about it.
This kind of thing is no different from other things. It is rarely leaked. Even the imperial servants will not make fun of their own heads, and the big guys are not interested in this kind of thing. Their targets are the old concubines with princes.
As well as their princes, they have no regard for these new concubines at all. If you have no heirs, what is your value?
“Brother Yang Chu, don’t worry. I’m so powerful and do not know the heights of the world. Naturally, I have to find a safe strategy.”
Seeing Feng Ziying’s solemn words, Fang Kezhuang felt relieved and asked, “How do you think we should investigate this Lifu matter?”
“If possible, please ask Brother Yangchu to come out, I’m afraid I’ll have to go to Hangzhou...”
Fang Kezhuang frowned. A business trip in this era is no better than the high-speed train in later generations. It can be reached in one day. To go to Hangzhou, you just need to take the canal, and you can't get back and forth in a month or two.
“Ziying, can’t you use the official delivery service?” Fang Kezhuang hesitated.
“If Brother Yangchu has friends or acquaintances over there, he can naturally deliver the documents via official mail, but I’m worried that they will be perfunctory and fail to achieve our goal.” Feng Ziying explained.
Fang Kezhuang understands what Feng Ziying means. The clues are not very clear. He needs a capable person to lead someone to verify it and leave it to someone over there. Will they take notice?
"If that's the case, then I will immediately arrange for someone capable to do it." Fang Kezhuang agreed readily without any hesitation.
The two discussed the investigation of Jiang Ziqi again. Similar to Feng Ziying's point of view, Fang Kezhuang also felt that Jiang Ziqi was the biggest suspect, but he was also the most difficult to start with. Jiang Ziqi had been to the case several times and had made everything clear.
The only thing was that he stayed in the warehouse for at least two hours that night, and no one confirmed his whereabouts.
Another biggest doubt is that he overslept. I have never heard of a businessman who would oversleep when it comes to such a big trip. Moreover, he lives in a dock warehouse just for the convenience of going out. How could he oversleep?
This explanation is too far-fetched.
But Jiang Ziqi's explanation is not unreasonable. In addition, the previous use of the rat-throwing weapon led to this situation. By now, Jiang Ziqi is afraid that he has already stabilized his mental defense line. If he wants to break through it by interrogating instead of using severe punishment, he will only
I'm afraid it will be difficult.
“Brother Yang Chu, what do you think should be done with Jiang Ziqi?”
"Ziying, do you plan to use severe punishment?" Fang Kezhuang laughed, "I'm afraid this won't work. Jiang Xuchuan and Jiang Ziliang are not that easy to deal with. If Jiang Ziqi really gets their advice, I'm afraid he will be beaten to death.
Those who want to be punished, even if they were recruited in the lobby, will definitely retract their confessions once they arrive at the punishment department, saying that they were beaten into submission."
Of course Feng Ziying understood this, "Well, so I don't plan to do this. I still have to check the details. I guess Jiang Ziqi probably didn't live in the warehouse that night. His appearance was just a cover. With Su Daqiang's powerful force
With his figure, even a sneak attack would be difficult for Jiang Ziqi. He must have helpers. But knowing that Jiang Ziqi might be embezzling his own money, Su Daqiang couldn't help but be on guard when he went south. Because it was a chartered ship, I heard that the owner of the ship should be Su Daqiang's friend for many years.
Friend, that’s why he dared to go south alone with Jiang Ziqi. If Jiang Ziqi brought a stranger Wei Ye to see Su Daqiang, Su Daqiang would not be able to avoid it..."
Fang Kezhuang's eyes lit up, "You mean, if it was Jiang Ziqi who did it, then the helper could only be someone close to Jiang Ziqi and familiar with Su Daqiang, so that Su Daqiang would not be so defensive..."
"Brother Yang Chu, this is just a possibility." Feng Ziying smiled bitterly, "We can only try various guesses. If it is someone close to Jiang Ziqi, then helping Jiang Ziqi kill someone will either make him closer to Jiang Ziqi, or he will disappear temporarily to take shelter.
Head, there will always be some clues, and now you have to investigate to find out."
