The arrival was so sudden that Capt. Li was stunned.
When you are a headhunter, your force is second to none, and your eyesight is extraordinary. With just one glance, you can tell that these people are of high status.
If nothing else, it depends on whether the horse you are riding is a horse or not an ox, and it is a war horse. This cannot be bought with money. It is only for military affairs.
The purpose of these people's arrival was unknown, and their identities were unknown. It was natural that Capt. Li would not be able to get angry.
Tan An, on the other hand, was eager to convict Su Ziji and could not wait. He stood up and said to the people who came: "Who are you? We are official officials of the county and have been ordered to arrest the murderer. You have to stop us.
It’s like being an enemy of the county government!”
This is using the tiger skin as a banner.
Captain Li turned around and glared at Tan An, scolding: "Shut up!"
He raised his hands and said to the people on the horse: "This kid is ignorant, don't take it off, I am Capt. Li from Linhua County, I don't know what I call you, and where do you work?"
"Are you asking us?" The person who spoke didn't get off his horse immediately, looked down from a high position, and said lightly, "We are from the Shanghanwan Inspection Department in Fucheng, and we were ordered to surround the Ye's Book Store. Before your Excellency arrives, no one can
No entry or exit is allowed, and no vegetation or trees are allowed to be destroyed!"
Fucheng Shanghanwan Inspection Department, this is the inspection department that guards the key points. It has fifty archers and eight cavalry. They hunt for spies and intercept escaped soldiers and prisoners.
Mr. Li's brows twitched and he smiled bitterly: "But a murder happened inside..."
"Even if there is a murder case, we will take over it!" As he said this, the man took out a badge and waved it in front of Capt. Li: "I am Inspector Ji Min. If you see it, why don't you take your people away quickly?
"
When Capt. Li took a look, he saw that it was indeed an inspection badge, and his waist was three points shorter.
Although the county does not have an inspection department, Capt. Li has dealt with inspectors before and knows that most of these people have military backgrounds, and the most common inspections are from the ninth grade, with opportunities for promotion in the future, and belong to
Among the imperial officials.
The Inspection Department is a local organization with force, which is completely different from the arresting police.
Even if their powers are similar, the weapons they are equipped with and the combat power they possess cannot even be matched by the county government officials.
In the face of inspections, ordinary tolerances are naturally lower.
"It turns out it's the inspection sir. I'm disrespectful. I'm disrespectful." Capt. Li forced out a smile: "It's just that I have been ordered by the county magistrate to leave. We have to wait here."
"Then stay outside." Inspector Ji Min said impatiently.
"Captain Li, can't we just let this matter go like this?" Tan An was keenly aware that these people from the inspection department seemed to have other motives, and was worried that Su Ziji would not be put to death. Tan An spoke again at this time.
In Li Captou's eyes, Tan An's opening had already nailed him to the pillar of shame for being a lustful person, and he immediately scolded him: "Shut up, Shangguan is talking, how can you have any room to speak?"
With that said, he ignored Tan An and evacuated to the outside with his servants.
When Tan An saw this, his teeth chattered with hatred, but he had no choice but to leave. However, in the eyes of the people around him, there was some pity.
"I'm afraid the tiger skin won't last long if I'm so ignorant," said a deputy inspector.
Inspector Ji Min smiled: "You look young and ignorant."
The two of them had more status among the group. The other patrolmen listened quietly and did not talk to each other.
"Are you Su Ziji?" Seeing a young man slowly coming out with cold eyes, Ji Min took the initiative and said, "We are inspectors from the Inspection Department, and we want to see you if we have anything to do."
"I'm Su Ziji, why are you looking for me?" Su Ziji heard the argument outside just now, and knew the identities of these people, so he asked.
Ji Min rolled his saddle and dismounted, only nodded slightly as a courtesy, and said: "No hurry, no hurry... wait until our master comes... here we come."
Su Ziji glanced around and saw a group of people coming over on horseback, but it was Fang Zhen and Gao Yaochen. They were kind to him, so they bowed quickly.
"You don't need to be polite at the end of the case. I've also read your article. It's only been a month or two, and the article has improved by leaps and bounds, clarifying the truth, which makes me very envious." Fang Zhen spoke very easy-going and smiled.
Gao Yaochen also nodded: "There is indeed a lot of progress. How did you do it?"
For Gao Yaochen, Su Ziji's imperial examination essays were nothing, but his progress was indeed very rapid. In just one or two months, it was as good as the usual two or three years.
Su Ziji turned to welcome him and invited him into the inner courtyard, saying, "I don't know. I once visited Fang Juren and felt that I benefited a lot."
Su Ziji's visit to Fang Wenshao had long since found out that Fang Wenshao's talent was just between being promoted to a Jinshi. Even if he was enlightened, he would not be able to make such progress. Fang Zhen smiled and said nothing, and he became a Jinshi in a month or two.
I can make rapid progress, but if I think about it carefully, there are some problems.
After walking a few steps, they saw the Taoist's body. The expressions of the three of them remained unchanged. Fang Zhen lowered his head and checked: "What's going on? Has it been robbed?"
"During the government examination, some villagers said that my father-in-law was seriously ill. When he came back, he saw this thief breaking into the house and committing murder. In order to defend himself, I stabbed this thief to death without thinking."
"Use a boning knife?"
Fang Zhen couldn't help but was speechless. He had already recognized who this person was. He was a former traitor who had a lot of skills. The black-clothed guards failed to catch him several times, but now he died here.
"Father-in-law?" Gao Yaochen didn't know this person, but his focus was here. He couldn't help but frown. If this person's identity was true, how could he marry the daughter of a bookstore owner?
"Buhui and I have been engaged for a long time. Now my father-in-law is seriously ill and has ordered us to pay our respects three times on the spot. Although we will make up for the ceremony in the future, it is just a ceremony in the end. We are husband and wife now." Su Ziji said: "
Don’t regret it, let’s serve tea to you two!”
As he said this, he took out the marriage certificate and pushed it on the table.
There were two dead bodies, and there was a large pool of blood on the ground. One of them had obviously been dragged along. The blood stains reached the threshold, and there was another pool of blood. Seeing the three of them talking and laughing freely, the inspector and Capt. Li who came over felt numb.
.
Adults, is it appropriate to chat and laugh with a murderer like this?
Even if you kill a thief, you still need to be investigated by the government, right?
Fang Zhen didn't say anything. He took a look at Ye Buhui and saw that she was small and exquisite. She had not yet grown up. He smiled: "I've seen her in Fucheng. She is the first in the chess competition, right?"
"Both husband and wife are the leaders of the crime. It's really a good story."
Fang Zhen was startled as he said that, and looked at Ye Buhui again. He felt that the features looked a bit familiar, but he couldn't think of who it was. He took a sip of tea, naturally took the marriage letter, read it, and touched the handwriting. He immediately understood that this writing
It has been around for at least a few years, so it is definitely not a new forgery.
When the matter was almost finished, Fang Zhen showed a straight face, suppressed his smile, and said, "Su Ziji, you are a smart man and you must have many questions. Shall we go in and talk?"
"Then please!" Su Ziji's mind changed and he thought of the dragon son and grandson mentioned by the traitor. He already had a premonition in his heart, but this should be Uncle Ye and Buhui, right?
As if he had a premonition, the whole scene became silent. Fang Zhen nodded slightly and stood up and entered. This was a study room that was elegantly decorated. The walls were decorated with mulberry paper, the bookshelves were full of books, and there were inkstones, paper and pens on the wooden table.
, a book is still open, obviously the owner has recently reviewed it.
"Su Ziji, you must have many questions, but before you speak, you have to take some blood."
