After rebirth, the Queen and I are on the run.

Chapter 577: Driving Away the Corpses of the Dead

Jiang Dalang: "If they are here to support you, it's fine, but if they have other purposes, such as using their identities to cover up the evidence, so that the evidence is insufficient and the suspect is released without guilt."

"What?!" Liang Zhi was shocked. He was only fifteen years old. Even if he had been on the battlefield, how could he know such a trick?

Jiang Dalang looked solemn and nodded to Liang Zhi: "There are many cases of people using power to cover up evil in this world."

Jiang Dalang thought of the case of Fenfangyuan in Xiangnan Town again. At that time, the people in charge of the investigation were also County Lieutenant Yang and Captain Gao.

Now that I think about it, I wonder if the two of them took advantage of their positions to cover up certain clues to the Fenfangyuan case, preventing the government from finding out who was the mastermind behind Fenfangyuan?

Liang Zhi was frightened and broke out in a cold sweat. He looked at Jiang Dalang and felt that he was closer than his own brother. He said gratefully, "Brother Jiang, it's a good thing you reminded me, otherwise I'm afraid that Gao would have used his power to destroy the evidence."

He then said, "Let's go and meet the man surnamed Gao. With me, Liang Zhi, here, he won't be able to enter the ghost village!"

"Yes." Jiang Dalang responded. After County Magistrate Kang, Guan Shuli and others arrived, the group went to the village entrance.

"Your humble servant greets the magistrate." County Magistrate Kang bowed, scolded himself bitterly for his incompetence, and apologized again.

Judge Luo said hurriedly, "The bandit problem existed decades ago and has nothing to do with County Magistrate Kang. It is County Magistrate Kang's good governance that has enabled the people under his rule to be brave and resourceful, and successfully fight against the bandits, which is a great achievement. The government office will commend County Magistrate Kang and the heroes who fought against the bandits."

"I am ashamed and in tears thank you all for your insight." County Magistrate Kang used all his acting skills and finally passed the hurdle of welcoming the superiors in the government office.

Liang Zhi was impatient to watch their show, so he stepped forward and asked the soldiers directly: "There is no one in the Dongming Prefecture Army Camp? Didn't we clearly inform the camp that Gao Baihu's good brother Yang Xianwei was a suspected accomplice to the bandits? Why did you send Gao Baihu to take charge of this case?"

"Is Captain Gao here to help solve the case and kill the bandits, or is he using his power to help County Lieutenant Yang erase the evidence of collusion with the bandits?!"

He loudly shouted out Jiang Dalang's guess without any hesitation, and everyone who heard it changed their expression.

Captain Gao's heart was pounding, and he knelt down hurriedly and swore: "I swear that I have no intention of helping County Lieutenant Yang. If I have such intention, I will make my descendants extinct and I will not die a good death!"

Liang Zhi waved his hand and said, "Alright, alright, who can't talk nonsense? You should hand over your military power and I will go to the government office to detain you."

This?

"Captain Liang, even if you are the son of Lieutenant General Liang, you cannot treat an old veteran with military merit like this!" General Zhou, a subordinate of Captain Gao, shouted angrily.

How could Liang Zhi be afraid of him?

"My father once blocked a knife for His Majesty, but His Majesty also said that even if he had the merit of saving the emperor, he could not use his military merit to bully others after arriving in Northeast Province!" Liang Zhi shouted in a voice as loud as a bell: "So, does Captain Gao still want to do whatever he wants with his military merit?!"

Your father hates this kind of second-generation rich the most, especially those who have helped their family save the country and are being given important positions.

"Besides, avoiding suspicion is an iron rule that must be followed in handling cases from ancient times to the present. Moreover, we have clearly informed the government army, but they still sent Captain Gao to assist in the investigation. Those who know will think that General Chen trusts his old subordinates, while those who don't will think that the entire government army is in cahoots with the bandits!"

Aha, I have to say, after quarreling with Huang Yanglong for several months, Liang Zhi’s ability to argue with others has greatly improved.

"You, you, you!" Mr. Zhou was so angry that he couldn't speak.

Even the judge Luo was frightened, fearing that Liang Zhi would provoke the prefectural troops present to mutiny, and hurriedly said, "Second Master Liang, be careful with your words. Our Dongming Prefecture's official army is all clean and upright, loyal to the court, and no one is colluding with bandits... Captain Gao was just worried about his old brother, so he asked General Chen to accompany him to see County Magistrate Yang. As for the one who assisted in the investigation, it was actually Captain Tang."

Liang Zhi looked around and asked with a chuckle, "Where is Captain Tang? He came with the troops to help with the investigation, so why is he missing? How could the commander-in-chief be lost? What kind of absurd story is this?"

Judge Luo Tong really wanted to poison Liang Zhi and make him mute... This kid was just a tiger before, how come he became so fierce after not seeing him for a few months?

"Captain Tang leads 50 soldiers to guard the county town to protect the safety of Baofu County." Luo Tongpan explained, and then hurriedly said: "Captain Gao, General Zhou, and fellow soldiers of the prefectural army, in my opinion, it is better to let Captain Gao replace Captain Tang and let Captain Gao guard the county town."

Mr. Zhou snorted coldly and said nothing.

After Captain Gao and other generals showed their dissatisfaction, they pretended to scold Zhou: "Don't be rude, this is the best arrangement."

He bowed to Judge Luo and said, "I will obey your orders."

"Okay, then Captain Gao will set off back to the county town now." Magistrate Luo was afraid that the government army would fight with the Liang family army, so he immediately let Captain Gao go.

"Wait." Liang Zhi said, pointing to a Liang Family Army soldier beside him, "You escort Captain Gao to the county town. By the way, General Zhou seems reluctant to let Captain Gao go, so let's go to the county town together. Otherwise, if Captain Gao gets hurt, General Zhou will be so worried that he won't be able to eat in the village."

Judge Luo wiped his sweat and thought to himself that it was because the weather was too hot and he was hot, not because he was afraid of a fight between the Liang army and the government army.

Luo Shiye, Miao Shiye, Zhao Bantou and Chen Bantou were also sweating with fear... Who could understand the hardships of their government office? Who could? !

Nearby, the people from the Linshan County government office who were watching the show: “…” They lowered their heads and pretended to be invisible, hoping not to be dragged into it.

Captain Gao also lowered his head to hide the murderous intent in his eyes.

But for the sake of the greater good, he could only smile bitterly and said, "Old Zhou, follow me to the county town... We are soldiers of the imperial court, and everything must be done according to the imperial court's laws, without any personal feelings."

"...Yes!" General Zhou responded with a sigh, took a small flag of his trusted soldiers and horses, and went to the county town accompanied by Liang's army soldiers, Chen Bantou and ten other government servants.

A servant of the Guan family also went with him, taking away a letter from Guan the clerk to Old Madam Guan.

The letter was about keeping an eye on Gao Baihu and Qijin's group of assassins.

As for the matter of the assassins, Guan Shuli did not hide it and told Luo Tongpan and others as soon as possible.

After hearing this, Judge Luo Tong and the people from the government office broke out in cold sweats.

The bandits are already troublesome enough, and you also sent out a group of assassins to kill innocent people?

We are just a government office, not the Ministry of Justice in the capital, nor the imperial guards commanded by Your Majesty. We cannot handle this kind of case!

But even though the clerk had said it in public, Liang Zhi was still beside him and said, "President Luo, you must investigate the matter of the assassins teaming up with the bandits to enter the village and massacre innocent people. You must find out who the assassins' master is and bring him to justice!"

Pan Luo: Haha... I'm just an assistant official in the government office. I'm not God. I can't fulfill the wish you made.

And find out the master behind the assassins?

The master of the assassin might be some nobleman in the capital, and you still want to bring him to justice? Just live your life in a muddle-headed way, don't try to get to the bottom of everything, it will do you no good.

But Liang Zhi had already shouted, so Luo Tongpan could only respond: "Take us to see the body."

"Please come in, Lord Tongpan." County Magistrate Kang immediately took the lead and went to the bodies of the dead men. He was almost overjoyed... He finally passed this hot potato to Tongpan Luo. May the ancestors of the Kang family bless him!
