I am happy to be a mother in a famine year, I have a system to farm the land

Zhang Siyuan nodded, "He is indeed not from the gambling house, and shopkeeper Zhang didn't want to let him do anything at first."

"It's just that Wu Gang lost money that day, and when he was thrown out by the gambling house, he happened to meet the foreigner."

"The other party may think that Wu Gang is desperate and will listen to whatever he wants."

Magistrate Han understood.

"So that's it. I was wondering why Wu Gang suddenly became so close to the people in the gambling house."

"Even so, Wu Gang's death..."

Magistrate Han was a little confused, if the person who committed the murder behind this was really that Fanbang person.

Why was Wu Gang, the person he personally selected to work for him, killed by the other party now?

And in this cruel way?

Although they have never found Wu Gang's head so far, after comparing the fingerprints, the fingerprints on the body were indeed the same as those left by Wu Gang in the county government.

There was just one thing that Magistrate Han didn't understand: the fingers of the corpse could only be matched by one hand. The skin on the other hand was uncovered, making it impossible to compare fingerprints.

"I'm afraid there is another reason for this matter. Please ask County Magistrate Han to pay more attention these days."

Magistrate Han nodded, "Please rest assured, General Zhang, I will have people investigate this matter carefully."

Even if Wu Gang is a bastard, he is still from their Zhou Dynasty, and it is not the turn of a foreigner to take action.

Zhang Siyuan told Magistrate Han to take good care of the people in the gambling house.

Although County Magistrate Han didn't know why Zhang Siyuan valued these people, since Zhang Siyuan had spoken, Magistrate Han would naturally not let anyone embarrass these people.

Compared to yesterday's sour food, shopkeeper Zhang and his friends' food today was pretty normal.

Someone came close to shopkeeper Zhang.

"Shopkeeper, do you think this is General Zhang's order?"

Shopkeeper Zhang nodded, "Who else could it be if he wasn't General Zhang? He is the only one who still remembers the brothers."

Although everyone was a little afraid of Zhang Siyuan after knowing Zhang Siyuan's identity, everyone was still very grateful for Zhang Siyuan's care for them.

After Zhang Siyuan left, County Magistrate Han handed over the matter to Master Xu and asked Master Xu to take people to investigate the matter in person.

Master Xu also knew that something was wrong this time, so he agreed and tried his best to investigate.

After Zhang Siyuan returned, he did not hide anything and told everyone everything shopkeeper Zhang said.

When Xuanyuan Ke heard Zhang Siyuan's narration, his brows immediately wrinkled.

"So, is that Fanbang man really related to those people on the border?"

Zhang Siyuan shook his head, "The matter is still unclear, County Magistrate Han has already gone to investigate. If nothing happens, this person may really be related to the border."

Pei Yuan put down the tea cup in his hand heavily and couldn't help but curse in a low voice.

"Those bitches from Fanbang, grandpa will sacrifice their heads to the flag one day!"

Pei Yuan's words were not a joke. When Pei Yuan was on the battlefield, he was really a killer weapon that harvested the lives of foreigners.

"It seems that we still have to be careful. If it is exposed, I'm afraid things will be a little tricky."

"Pei Yuan, go to General Li tomorrow and ask him to guard the city gate and conduct strict inspections."

Pei Yuan nodded, "Your Highness, please rest assured, I will definitely bring you the message."

Xuanyuan Ke didn't doubt Pei Yuan, but he didn't know how to break this situation for a while.

After all, the foreigner has been in Qingshui County for a month, and he may have already found out the situation in Qingshui County.

What can be done now is to find the other party as soon as possible.

But just in case, the city gate cannot be opened.

But on the third day, people from the county government suddenly came to the Zhang family.

Zhang Siyuan saw the panic on the visitor's face and knew something might have happened at the county government.

"What happened?"

Pei Yuan saw someone getting off the horse and asked quickly.

The yamen servant looked at Zhang Siyuan, and Zhang Siyuan also stood up.

"Why is it in such a hurry?"

"Reporting to General Zhang, a headless corpse appeared again in the county. It was a widow."

Zhang Siyuan was stunned. He didn't expect that the person who died this time was actually a widow.

If this is the case, wouldn't all their previous speculations be overturned?

Thinking of this, Zhang Siyuan's expression became serious.

"Let's go, let's go to the county government office first."

Zhang Siyuan greeted everyone and followed the yamen servant out.

He hasn't found out the specific details yet, and it's hard for him to draw conclusions at will.

Xuanyuan Ke also saw Zhang Siyuan's thoughts, nodded and let him go.

When Zhang Siyuan came back again, his expression was even worse than before.

"Siyuan, what happened?"

Seeing Zhang Siyuan like this, Xuanyuan Ke's heart jumped suddenly.

Zhang Siyuan has always been a steady person, and now that he can show such a look, Xuanyuan Ke naturally knows what might be going on.

Zhang Siyuan did not hide anything, "I went to the county town to check the funeral home today. The person who died this time was a widow. The way he died was the same as the previous two. Both had their heads cut off."

When Xuanyuan Ke heard this, he always felt that there was something strange about this matter.

"If that's the case, it's possible that the foreigner was not involved in this matter."

Pei Yuan on the side was unwilling to give in, "But he did appear in the gambling shop, and it was he who had people do things to the pharmaceutical workshop and Jishi Hall."

Pei Yuan's words made everyone fall silent, and there was no movement for a while.

Zhu Qiuqi saw that Zhang Siyuan had been unable to sleep at night. Even when he lay on the bed, he was tossing and turning, unable to sleep.

Not only that, even the atmosphere in their home these days was a little off, even slightly depressing.

"Siyuan, what happened?"

Knowing that Zhang Siyuan and Xuanyuan Ke were busy with their personal affairs these days, Zhu Qiuqi did not get involved.

Now seeing Zhang Siyuan like this, she finally asked.

Zhang Siyuan originally didn't plan to tell Zhu Qiuqi, but now she saw Zhu Qiuqi staring straight at him, as if she wouldn't give up if he didn't like it.

Seeing Zhu Qiuqi like this, Zhang Siyuan sighed helplessly.

"It's nothing. Do you know what happened to Wu Gang a few days ago?"

Zhu Qiuqi nodded, "Of course I know that Zhou's mother wanted to come to see my sister-in-law for this matter, but she was driven away as soon as she entered the village."

Zhang Siyuan and Zhou Mei, "If something happens to Wu Gang, what will she do to her sister-in-law?"

When Zhu Qiuqi heard this, she couldn't help but snorted coldly.

"She is worried that after Wu Gang dies, her sister-in-law's sister-in-law will go back to her parents' home. Then her son will probably follow her to the Wu family. Will her son still be her son by then? She is afraid that he will become the son of the Wu family. .”
