Nanxia and Ying's Search for Zhao Ji

As the night darkened, Zhan Zhao walked towards the county government office alone, but Zhan Zhao was not alone.At this moment, Zhao Qingxue was already in the government office, Ping Yuan performed the ceremony of a scholar, and asked: "I don't know what is the reason for the girl's late-night Taoist visit?"

"Master, my senior sister did go to the Salt Gang, but she did not kill Lu Ping, so Qingxue came to ask the Lord to let her go." While Zhao Qingxue was speaking, she took out a golden token from her waist. Yuan was taken aback for a moment, and hurriedly pulled Hu Tu to kneel down, but Hu Tu didn't understand what he meant, and after struggling twice, Ping Yuan pulled him to his side, and said in a low voice: "That is the gold medal bestowed by the royal family, this person must be Ordinary people don't kneel down yet."

When Hu Tu heard this, his legs trembled and he fell to his knees on the ground, not knowing what to say for a while.Zhao Qingxue saw it in his eyes, pursed his lips and smiled, put away the token and said, "Is it possible to release him in this way?"

"There are indeed doubts about this case. However, Senior Sister Zun once said that she would stab Lu Ping in class, so I forgive you for not being able to indulge her for the time being. However, the girl can rest assured that no one in the government office will embarrass her. " Ping Yuan got up and said.

"Lu Ping's injuries were not fatal. There must be something strange about it. How can you conclude that my senior sister is the murderer."

"Whether the stab wound is fatal or not, there should be someone to confirm it. If it is just like what the girl said, the government will release him."

"Why are you so stubborn..." Zhao Qingxue hadn't finished speaking when she heard a servant in the government office shouting: "It's not good, Su Hong has escaped from prison!"

"My lord, please send Chai Chutou to chase after him quickly." Ping Yuan said, glanced at Zhao Qingxue, shook his head and said: "Young lady is doing her harm, isn't it?"

"I..." Zhao Qingxue didn't know about this, and didn't know how to reply for a moment.

"My lord, why don't you play hard to get?" As soon as the words fell, a man in a blue shirt jumped out of the room and walked like a back hall.

"Brother Zhan." Zhao Qingxue hurried to Zhan Zhao's side when she saw Zhan Zhao entering, as if she had found a life-saving weed.

In fact, Zhan Zhao had already arrived at the government office, but before he entered it, he felt a strange movement under his feet, smiled in his heart, and said to himself: "It seems that there should be a night rat visiting the Changping county government office tonight." Thinking of this, one He jumped up to the eaves of the yamen, looked from a distance, and saw three men in white crawling out from the ground, running towards the inn.Zhan Zhao wanted to go after him, but he also saw Zhao Qingxue visiting, he knew that this person would lead him to find Bai Yutang, why should he be in such a hurry, so he quietly followed behind him, looking on the beam outside the room, listening to the two of them carefully. Dialogue, thought: "This person Pingyuan is comparable to an adult, he only seeks the truth in everything, but it is not difficult to see from the words, this place should be the master's decision! As for this girl, she should not be an ordinary person, otherwise how could she Visiting at night, asking to release him." Thinking of this, he heard a commotion in the distance, it was the guards who reported that Su Hong had escaped from prison, and Zhan Zhao got off the roof beam and walked into the inner yamen.

"I wonder if this brother is..." Ping Yuan asked.

"I'm going down to Kaifeng Mansion, Zhan Zhao." Zhan Zhao's mouth curved slightly, and he cupped his hands and replied.

Ping Yuan looked at Zhan Zhao, there seemed to be a trace of doubt in his eyes, Zhan Zhao took out a letter and handed out the token for entering the palace.Seeing this received in his hands, Ping Yuan hadn't opened his mouth when Hu Tu knelt down on the ground, Zhan Zhao took a step back, stretched out his hand and said, "My lord, there is no need to perform such a great gift."

Ping Yuan was about to explain to Hu Tu, but saw Zhao Qingxue waving behind Zhan Zhao to signal not to speak too much.Pingyuan understood immediately, helped Hu Tu up, and said to Zhan Zhao: "Master Zhan, this place is a small town, and it is rare for high officials to visit. Therefore, the adults in my family feel happy for a while, and there is a little disrespect, and I hope Mr. Zhan will not make fun of it. .” Zhan Zhao lowered his head and suppressed a smile, and didn’t say much.Pingyuan opened the letter, read it carefully, and said: "The Salt Gang has been here for many years, and they have been abiding by the law and have never disturbed the local area. As for salt affairs, the third department has full power to handle them, and the yamen cannot exceed their authority, so I don't know if there is anything mentioned in the letter." While talking, Ping Yuan looked at Zhan Zhao, but the look in his eyes was also meaningful, Zhan Zhao understood what it implied, and nodded without saying a word.Ping Yuan said again: "It's just Su Hong's case, what advice does your lord have?"

"When Zhan Zhao first arrived in Guizhou, he heard that the members of the Salt Gang imprisoned Bai Yutang privately because he killed his gang leader. As for the details of the case, he never knew, let alone why the master kept mentioning the case of Su Hong?" Zhan Zhao said. As soon as Zhao said this, Ping Yuan was at a loss for words, but Zhao Qingxue burst into laughter, walked up to Zhan Zhao, pointed at Hu Tu and said, "It's not that their lords arrested the wrong person, but now they say that my senior sister escaped from prison. Hmph." After Zhao Qingxue finished speaking, she cast a fierce glance at Hu Tu.

"Young lady's words are wrong. Mr. Zhan doesn't know about it. Su Hong has already told the hall that he stabbed Lu Ping, so she is indeed suspected."

"Then did the master ask you to do an autopsy?"

"That's natural. At this moment, Wu Zuodang is checking."

"I also ask the master to lead the way. Since Zhan has been involved, he should help the noble government to find out. Ms. Zhao, please go together to see clearly."

"That's fine, Mr. Zhan please, Miss Zhao please." Ping Yuan has been in the officialdom for many years, and he is deeply aware of Zhan Zhao's request to bring Zhao Qingxue with him at this moment, and he has never shirked it.

"Okay, just to see how your government investigates the case, let's go." When Zhao Qingxue heard that she was happy to help solve the case, she agreed.

In the morgue, Wu Zuo was examining Lu Ping's body.When Zhan Zhao and the others entered, a pungent smell came over their faces. Zhao Qingxue had experienced this before, and immediately felt his stomach churning, and almost vomited out his dinner.Seeing his ugly face, Zhan Zhao hurriedly said, "If the girl is absolutely unwell, you can stay here and just listen to our discussion."

"I don't feel uncomfortable. It's not the first time I've seen a dead body as a person who walks the rivers and lakes." Zhao Qingxue said bravely, not wanting Zhan Zhao to underestimate her.

So many people came to Wu Zuo's side, Ping Yuan asked Wu Zuo if the cause of death could be verified, Wu Zuo replied: "Lu Ping was hit by a sword, and the wound was a finger deep, but it didn't hurt the lungs, so it shouldn't be fatal. It was caused by blood stasis, but no bruises were seen on his neck, so he did not die by hanging. However, his pupils were dilated and the fundus of his eyes were congested, which should be caused by being frightened before his death."

"In this way, master, since this person didn't die by the sword, he should have nothing to do with my senior sister, maybe he was scared to death." Zhao Qingxue said while covering her mouth.

"No, judging by the bones and internal organs, the deceased must have been in the prime of life, and he should have a strong body, and he would not have died of fright. Therefore, I have never understood the cause of his death, so I failed to report it to the master in time." Wu Zuo said with a face full of shame.

"Did he die from poisoning?" Zhan Zhao asked.

"I checked, and there is nothing unusual." The master shook his head.

Ping Yuan looked at Zhan Zhao with a puzzled look on his face, and asked, "Besides hanging to death, is there any other way to scare people and suffocate them to death?"

"Could it be caused by bumping your head somewhere?" Zhao Qingxue looked at Zhan Zhao with a pair of clear eyes.

Zhan Zhao once again suppressed a smile, but Wu Zuo replied, "That's not the case, but..."

"But what?" Zhan Zhao and Ping Yuan asked at the same time

"If you were frightened by accident, it would be the same if it caused intracranial congestion. But this kind of death is accidental, not caused by others." Wu Zuo said, walked up to Lu Ping's head, and touched his head with his hand After a few strokes, he suddenly felt something pricked his hand, and when he raised his hand, blood flowed from his fingertips.Zhan Zhao, Zhao Qingxue and others were startled, Ping Yuan walked to his side and said, "How could this be?"

Wu Zuo heard that Lu Ping's top hair was removed with a knife and scissors, and a short needle as long as a millimeter was exposed. Wu Zuo pinched it at the end with a knife and scissors, and gently pulled it out, and actually clipped a silver needle about three inches long. When they came out, everyone looked at each other in amazement.It was Zhao Qingxue who broke the deadlock with one sentence, "You can let him go, the murderer should still be in the Salt Gang."

"Miss Zhao's words are justified. Although Su Hong hurt someone, she didn't kill her. And if you can put this thing into someone else's head, you can only do it with someone very close to you." Zhan Zhao said.

"Master Zhan's words are indeed reasonable, and this yamen should continue to investigate. As for the fact that Su Hong hurt someone, it is also true, but she has left now, so I don't know how I should release her." When Ping Yuan said this, he was shocked. Waking up Zhao Qingxue, she clasped her fists in a salute and turned to leave, but was stopped by Zhan Zhao, who smiled and said: "Zhan has something urgent to discuss with Brother Bai, I wonder if the girl can wait for Zhan to go with her?" .”

"Of course." Zhao Qingxue readily agreed.

Zhan Zhao walked to Ping Yuan's side and said in a low voice, "This case may involve a lot of implications, and the reason for Su Hong's wounding is unknown, so it's not appropriate to arrest and release him. It's better to let the word out. The only thing is that the prisoner fled privately. Catch them quickly, and then..."

Ping Yuan looked up at the handsome young man beside him, and couldn't help secretly praising him for being so smart and thoughtful at such a young age.He nodded in response, sent the two of them out of the room, and said: "So, please forgive me for the inconvenience of sending you off with my lord."

Zhan Zhao clasped his hands and nodded, and left with Zhao Qingxue. After leaving the government office, Zhao Qingxue asked what Zhan Zhao and Ping Yuan had said. Zhan Zhao just smiled and replied, "I'm sorry for the inconvenience of telling Zhan some things about the government."

"Oh." Zhao Qingxue pursed her lips when she heard this, and said in her heart, "I've helped so much, you just tell me about the inconvenience, it's really boring." So Zhan Zhao and Zhao Qingxue left the government office, Meeting Inn and Bai Yutang reunited.

Two flowers bloom, each representing a branch.After Zhan Zhao left the salt field, Xin Wu also came to inspect the salt field. When he saw a cart being pushed out, there was salt scattered on the ground. Immediately pick up some and put them in the bag, and return to the salt gang.

As soon as Xin Wu entered the salt gang, he saw Xin Wen rushing in. He stopped Xin Wen, grabbed Xin Wen's hand, took out his bag and poured salt into Xin Wen's hand, and asked, "What's going on?"

Seeing this, Xin Wen put his index finger to his mouth and gave a "shh", pulled him aside, and said in a low voice, "Don't let Master Yan know about this."

"Hmph, it's him again. Leader Su worked so hard to build a gang. Wouldn't this way of doing things destroy the Lingyan Gang?"

"You don't have to worry about it, you'd better take care of yourself."

"I have been in the Salt Gang for many years, how can I turn a blind eye to it, I will go to him."

"Xin Wu, what do you want me for?" At this moment, Yan Zhengcheng stepped into the room with one foot, his eyes glanced at the hands of the two, Xin Wen hurriedly grabbed what was in his younger brother's hand and kicked it into his arms.Yan Zhengcheng hummed softly and came to the two of them.

"I was the one who asked for the helper, and there was news from the Yamen that 'Su Hong has escaped from prison.' Helper, what should we do next?" Xin Wen hurriedly took up the topic.

"Oh, is there any movement in the yamen?"

"Send Chai Xinnong to arrest them, but my subordinates have seen two people..."

"Who?"

"The girl next to Su Hong and Zhan Zhao a few days ago." Xin Wen replied.

After Yan Zhengcheng listened, he patted Xin Wu on the shoulder and said, "I believe in your kung fu. Why don't you catch Su Hong and bring him to justice?"

Xin Wu was still not angry about the private salt matter, how could he let him go, and was about to refuse, but was stopped by his brother, Xin Wen said: "Don't worry, leader, my brother will definitely do his best to do things for the leader."

"Of course I'm relieved, but you still have other things to do, and this matter has to be done by your brothers." Yan Zhengcheng left a word and walked away, leaving the two brothers in deep thought.
