Biquge www.xbiquge.cc, the fastest update of the latest chapter of Sun Moon Fenghua!When Meng Zimo and Niu Zhi came to the gate of Junshoufu's government office, it was already when the black lights were blind. Fortunately, two lanterns were hanging under the porch, but they could see clearly.

Several officials have whispered whispers outside the county guard house, and Mencius at a glance saw that these people were all officials of the criminal.

Both Zhenjun Liucao and Duwei Mansion are nominally under the jurisdiction of the Junshou Mansion, but everyone knows that there is not much power in the hands of the master of the Shoushou Mansion.

The reason for the establishment of Junshou Mansion in Zhen County was to make Zhen Jun at least nominally belong to the territory controlled by Datang, and half of the next six Cao were nominal.

Hu Cao is nominally responsible for taxation, but in fact, Zhen Jun’s taxes are collected by Zhen Hou’s government. He cannot pay even one or two dollars, but he often has to send someone to help Zhen Hou’s account calculation. , To Ruobingbing, Li, Gong, and Li Cao, it was nothing more.

Among the six Cao, the only one with real power is the criminal Cao.

However, as everyone knows, the criminal officer Cao Cao Lu Siyuan was directly recommended to the court by Zhen Hou Fu. This person was originally from the Xiling Gate Valve. Although Zhen Hou Fu’s posture did not directly use the Zhen family, the Lu family is also strong in Zhen Jun. The family's gatekeepers were directly attached to the foot of Zhenhou Mansion. The criminal Cao controlled by Lu Siyuan was also equivalent to Zhenhou Mansion's own territory.

Mencius saw a sneer on his lips when he saw the criminal officer whispering in front of the county guard.

The criminal Cao people saw that Mencius had brought a few people, and they naturally recognized that they were people in Duwei Mansion, and they didn't have any good looks. If they were in the early years, they might deliberately provoke a few words, but today's Han Yunong was in town in Duwei Mansion, and Han Yunong was also famous in Zhen County. Zhen Hou Man should be a little scared, and the people who punish Cao naturally did not dare to provoke Du Yu Mansion easily.

Mencius went up and saw that the gate of the county guard house was open, and four guards with swords lined up in front of the gate. They arched and said: "Meng Zimo of Duwei House, ordered to bring the jailer Niu Zhi back and forth."

The guard of the county guard house apparently received an order long ago, when he heard Niu Zhi’s name, he immediately made a way. Mencius was about to step forward. A guard reached out and stopped: “Niu Zhi went in, you are waiting outside.”

Mencius did not argue, turning around and nodding to Niu Zhi.

Niu Zhi was so embarrassed that he dared not look directly at the guards and entered the house. Someone led directly through the front yard to the main hall.

The lights in the main hall of the prefectural palace were brightly lit, and Niu Zhi walked outside the door of the main hall.

"Let him come in!" There was a voice in the hall.

Niu Zhijian led the man making a gesture to himself, he arched his hand quickly, half bowed into the hall, and saw the adult on the main seat leaning on the chair in the official mansion, knowing that he could sit in that position. It was Du Hongsheng, the county guard, who stepped a few steps forward and knelt down to the ground: "The villain Niu Zhi, meet the master of the county guard."

"Niu Zhi, I ask you, Qin Xiao left the job, what is the reason?" The voice did not come from the front, but from his left head, which made Niu Zhi turn his head to look over and saw only one official Zheng was staring at himself with a chill, and recognized that it was Lu Siyuan, the criminal officer.

Before Niu Zhi answered, he heard the voice of Han Yunong from the right first: "Master Lu, the master of the county guard is here to preside over this case, please be restless."

Han Yunong has a high reputation in Duwei Mansion, and one of the reasons is his short-term protection.

Niu Zhi saw Han Yunong on the side and calmed down. He saw Lu Hong and Qin Xiao standing under Han Yunong, thinking he was there

Be careful with every word spoken here.

The county guard Du Hongsheng coughed, and then asked: "Niu Zhi, the officer asked you, did Qin Xiao leave the Jiazi prison in the early morning yesterday?"

"Looking back to Master, this is indeed true." Niu Zhi replied respectfully.

Du Hongsheng nodded: "Where did he go?"

"He went out to chase after Lu Lutou."

"Why should Lu Lutou be chased?"

Niu Zhidao said: "Lu Shaotou took away the prisoner Wen Jiao who was detained in the Jiazi prison yesterday. Although he signed, but when he left, he forgot to take the escort documents with him." He looked at Qin Xiao before continuing. Tao said: "Without mentioning the escort document, even Lu Shaotou escorted the prisoner to Fenggan, he could not prove that the escort was Wen Budao, unable to hand over. Qin Xiao worried that Lu Shutou would run in vain, so he took the paperwork ."

"Really?" Du Hongsheng said in a deep voice.

Niu Zhi knocked his head on the ground: "The villain dare not lie."

Lv Siyuan sneered: "Sir, this person's words are not enough to believe. It must be that the people in Duwei House confessed to each other in private, so they made up lies."

"Master Lu, you are a torture officer, you should understand that there is no evidence, you can't spit on people." Han Yunong said lightly: "If you think Niu Zhi's statement is untrue, you have to come up with evidence."

Lü Siyuan was about to speak. Footsteps were heard from outside. Everyone looked at the sound and saw that Zhen Yujiang, the young son of the Zhen family, who was in Jinyi, strode into the hall with many people.

Everyone was taken aback.

Lu Siyuan's face immediately showed a look of joy, and the first one greeted the archer: "Young Master!"

Du Hongsheng also got up and stepped down.

Zhen Yujiang has no official status, but his father is Chang Xinhou, who is the governor of Zhen Jun. As a matter of fact, Du Hongsheng, as the guard of Zhen Jun, does not have to salute Zhen Yujiang, but he is obviously very afraid of the Zhen family and dare not dare. Lost courtesy to Zhen Yujiang.

"Master Du continues to examine the case." Zhen Yujiang said with a smile: "I heard about this case, so I came over to see what happened."

Han Yunong didn't pretend to Zhen Yujiang, but said: "Young Master, this case involves Duwei Mansion and Xing Cao, and has nothing to do with Zhen Hou Mansion, so...!"

"Han Duwei was wrong." Lang Shenshui, the staff member, stepped out from behind Zhen Yujiang, took a copy of the deed from his arms, and raised it to shake: "This is the deed of the Golden Hook Casino. A few months ago, Qiao Leshan had already delivered the Golden Hook Casino to Hou Fu."

Everyone was surprised.

"Don't misunderstand, it's not that Houfu wants a gambling house." Lang Shenshui laughed: "In order to facilitate the circulation of silver and silver, Houfu opened a bank in the city many years ago. The gambling house is used as a mortgage, so the Golden Hook gambling house is now actually owned by Hou Fu." After glancing at Han Yunong, he continued: "I heard that this case involved Qiao Leshan, and Hou Ye was worried about Qiao Leshan's loan. The money is not repayable, so come over and figure out what is going on."

Lu Hong couldn't help but say: "We just returned to the city, and just explained to the county guardian what happened last night. How did Hou Fu know that Qiao Leshan was involved so quickly?"

"Zhenhou Mansion was entrusted by the saints to guard the people of Zhenjun." Lang Shenshui sneered: "This morning, some people found many corpses near the post, and some people recognized that one of them was the golden hook. Qiao Leshan of the casino, these horrific murders, since

Then someone immediately reported to Hou Fu."

Qin Xiao sneered under his heart, knowing that Lang Shenshui's pretext was nonsense.

Although Golden Hook Casino is famous in Guicheng, not many people really know Qiao Leshan.

A few corpses were near the post, and it was not surprising that they were seen, but someone could recognize Qiao Leshan, which is really incredible.

He knew about Qiao Leshan's actions last night. Zhenhou House must know very well in advance. However, Qiao Leshan did not come back to report the results. Zhenhou House would naturally send someone to investigate what was going on.

Although it takes a day to walk from Guicheng to the station, if you ride on horseback, the speed is much faster.

When returning from the post, he and Lu Hong also returned on foot. If the other party sent someone to ride back and forth, it would naturally let Zhen Yujiang get the news in advance.

"Come here, show your seat to Young Master!" Du Hongsheng ordered Ya Yan to bring a big chair and invited Zhen Yujiang to sit down, and then said: "Young Master, yesterday the Du Wei Mansion sent someone to escort the prisoner Wen Wendao to Feng Gan , Halfway through, he encountered a rogue and hijacked the prisoner."

"Captive prisoner?" Zhen Yujiang asked lightly: "Master Du, I don't understand this."

Du Hongsheng said to Lu Hong: "Lu Hong, in the end, you should clearly explain to the young master."

Lu Hong arched his hand: "Young Master, we arrived at the post last night. Because we were tired on the way, we drank some wine. After everyone fell asleep, I watched the prisoners alone. At midnight, Qiao Leshan suddenly led someone into the post."

"What do they break into the post?"

"Qiao Leshan wants to press Wen Budao about the whereabouts of a piece of silver." Lu Hong's face didn't change color: "Wen Budao's mouth was hard and he didn't give in."

"You are the escort who escorted the prisoner, and let Qiao Leshan do something wrong?" Lang Shenshui said in a deep voice: "How can you prove that Qiao Leshan is going to force Wen Budao?"

"Because I am also a participant." Lu Hong said calmly: "Qiao Leshan found me in private a few days ago, and asked me to ask the whereabouts of that silver from Wen Budaokou together. Once successful, he will give I made a fortune, and I was confused for a while and promised him."

Han Yunong apparently just knew this and his face changed slightly.

Du Hongsheng was also surprised, Shen said: "You have a private agreement with Qiao Leshan?"

"Exactly." Lu Hong said: "The salary of Du Wei Man is meager, and the hardship of my family and young people, so when Qiao Leshan made a lot of money, I was interested and promised to push Wen Wendao with him. We planned in advance, No matter whether Wen Budao tells the whereabouts of the silver, we will kill people and exterminate us. Then I will make up an excuse to say that a thief attacked and killed Wen Budao, then this matter can be covered up."

Zhen Yujiang laughed in the corner of his mouth: "Then you now say that Wen Dao is hijacked by thieves, and naturally it is also fake."

"This is exactly what we didn't think of." Lu Hong sighed: "We pressed for a long time, Wen Budao never explained, so Qiao Leshan started to kill. Also at that time, we heard the sound of horseshoes, immediately I guessed it might be a thief infested, Qiao Leshan and I escaped from the post, holding Wen Budao together."

"No." Lang Shenshui immediately said: "As far as I know, the chalet in the post was burnt. Why?"

Qin Xiao took a step forward and raised his hand: "I burned it."
