"My lord, the result is out."

"how?"

"Among the lists compiled by the students and the son-in-law, only these two people have not been found in the place where they moved, and the others are all fine."

"Including the dead and missing, we only ask for these seven people. However, the government is worried..."

"Your Excellency is worried that the people behind the scenes will cooperate with the local government to cancel the household registration of the prisoner's family?"

"The government does have this concern."

What Bao Zheng said was indeed a problem. If so, they might have some difficulty in verifying the identity of the prisoner.It's just that now they can only start with these four families. If they find out that they are all wrong, then they can only hope that Zhan Zhao and Bai Yutang can gain something.At this time, Zhan Zhao and Bai Yutang were still on their way to find the murderer on horseback.

"Zhan Xiaomao, it's not the way to find it like this, it's better than us."

"Bai Yutang, I am from Kaifeng Mansion."

"Of course the fifth master knows that you are from the Kaifeng mansion. Oh, it turns out that Zhan Xiaomao is afraid that Mr. Bao will blame you. It's okay, it's the fifth master who bought it fiercely, and it's not you Zhan Xiaomao who bought it. When the time comes, you and your lord will buy it." Said, Fifth Master knocked you out and did it himself."

It was Bai Yutang's idea to let a person who followed Bao Zheng as a bodyguard but was actually a policeman buy a murderer to kill someone.Although this is the best way, no matter how you think about it, adults will not agree.

"Can this work?"

"Of course, no one wants to earn money, and it doesn't break their rules."

"I mean, if you knock me out, I'll go myself."

"Of course, it's not the first time."

Zhan Zhao thought about it and felt it made sense, so he agreed to it without any pressure.But the money to buy murder... Zhan Zhao silently rolled his eyes in his heart, his Kaifeng mansion is very clean, so the mansion's funds are very tight.If he really dared to spend such a large sum of money to do this, Mr. Gongsun would definitely stew himself as a medicinal material after returning home.

"Then the money..."

"Fifth Lord treats you."

"...Then let's do as Fifth Master said."

I've seen people who invite you to dinner, people who invite you to drink, and people who invite you to brothels.Today Zhan Zhao finally saw the most bizarre way of treating guests, that is, treating guests to pay for murder, Zhan Zhao felt his ass hurt.As a member of the Kaifeng Mansion, Zhan Zhao seriously considered whether to arrest this person who bought the murderer now, or wait for the results to come out before arresting him.

After the two discussed it, they simply cleaned up, and then Bai Yutang led the way to the mission pick-up place disguised as a tavern.Along the way, Bai Yutang was very familiar with the road, as if he had been here many times.This made Zhan Zhao suspect that Bai Yutang actually frequented this place often.

Bai Yutang does frequent here often, because this place is not just a killer world disguised as a restaurant, it also has a well-known identity, that is, it is really a restaurant, and the daughter Hong of this house is his Bai Wuye One of his favorites, so Bai Yutang would come to this restaurant to drink a few pots when he was addicted to alcohol.

"Fifth Bai, you are here, is it still the old rules?"

"Today, Lord Wu is not here to drink Nurhong. Serve Lord Wu your most famous poisonous feather wine."

"Fifth Master wants to drink Poison Feather Wine?"

The man was obviously taken aback for a moment, he never imagined that one day Bai Yutang, the fifth master of the sky, would order Zhenyu wine.The poisonous feather is highly poisonous, of course this poisonous feather wine cannot be drunk, not to mention that there is no poisonous feather wine in this restaurant.Poison Feather Wine is a code, a code to buy a murderer and kill someone.

"Si, Bai Wuye and this young master want to drink poisonous feather wine, take him to the private room."

"You two masters, please go this way."

Naturally, they didn't go to the private room, but a secret passage in the backyard, after which they went to another house.The house is not big, and it seems that it can be seen at a glance.It is better to say that it is a small room than a house. The furnishings in the room are very simple, with only a desk and two chairs.

"Is this guest officer buying his life, or a certain part of his body?"

It was a woman who was speaking. This woman was sitting behind the desk at this time, and she seemed to be the person in charge here.The woman's voice was very soft, completely incompatible with her occupation. Who would have thought that a woman with such a beautiful voice would be engaged in the assassin business.

"One right hand, 30 taels."

"May I ask whose hand it was?"

"I heard that someone bought a murderer to kill a prisoner in the prison of Kaifeng Mansion."

The woman looked at Bai Yutang and Zhan Zhao with lazy eyes, but after listening to Bai Yutang's words, her eyes suddenly became sharper, these two people might not be friendly.She didn't answer Bai Yutang's words, but looked at the waiter who brought them here, her eyes were full of inquiries.

Of course the waiter knew that this person wanted to ask about the identities of the two of them, but it was just a rule... He hesitated for a while, but in the end he didn't say anything, but shook his head lightly.The woman was not angry because of the waiter's performance, but there was more approval in her eyes.It is also one of their rules not to ask the identity of the guests.

"30 taels, buy the right hand of the murderer, here is the deposit."

"Is this against the rules?"

"Oh, fifth master would like to know what's out of order."

"We will not reveal the identity of the employer."

"The fifth master didn't ask you to tell me who the murderer is. What the fifth master wants is only a right hand. As for the real identity of that person, the fifth master is not interested, but I believe you will not smash your own signboard. Just fool Fifth Master with one hand."

The Jiaozi Bai Yutang put on the table was taken away by the woman, as long as their rules were not broken, they would not refuse any business. 30 taels and a right hand, I believe there are many people rushing to accept the task.

They didn't know who the murderer was, but the killer organization knew it all.According to their rules, they would never tell Bai Yutang and Zhan Zhao the identity of that person, so Bai Yutang chose this method of taking advantage of loopholes.And as long as they follow those killers, they can find the murderer.

On this side, Bai Yutang and the two of them had money in hand, the mission was completed with half the effort, and finding that person was just around the corner.On the other side, Tang Wuxia and the three were discussing who would verify the case of the four people, and in the end Tang Wuxia accompanied Gongsun Ce to go.

The two went to a place closer to here first. Because of a fire, the whole family was burned to death in the house.Later, the people from the government found several remains among the ruins, but they were all beyond recognition and could not be identified.The accident happened eight years ago.

Tang Wuxia and Gongsun Ce searched around the town but couldn't find the so-called ruins. Of course they couldn't find it.Because the ruins at this time are no longer ruins, and new houses have already been built on them.From that bright appearance, it is not at all obvious that there has been a fire here.

Since the scene has completely disappeared, trying to find clues from the scene is purely dreaming.So the two turned in the same direction and went to the yamen of this place.

Eight years have passed, and the county magistrate here has changed several times, so they don't need to worry about the county magistrate colluding with the people behind the scenes.The first thing Gongsun Ce did when he came to the county government office was to call up the file of the fire case in that year, but he searched all the files and found no such case.And our Tang Wuxia, as a standard foodie, of course went to find something to eat.

There is only one restaurant in this small town, a very large restaurant.It looks very grand from the outside, anyway, it is much more grand than other houses in this small town, and this restaurant is what Tang Wuxia is going to visit.Before Tang Wuxia went in, she saw an old lady sitting at the door basking in the sun in the house next door to the restaurant. When she saw that Tang Wuxia was about to enter the restaurant, she showed a regretful expression, her eyes were like Watching a child who did something wrong.

Tang Wuxia stopped walking suddenly, then turned around and walked towards the old man.Intuition told him that there must be clues in this old man.Of course, he didn't find a place to eat at random. Tang Wuxia and Gongsun Ce realized that the county magistrate's attitude was very strange when they came here.

The county magistrate received Tang Wuxia and Gongsun Ce together with Zhu Bo. At that time, the county magistrate directly denied the existence of this case.It's just that he hesitated to speak in a place where the master Bo couldn't see.Tang Wuxia and Gongsun Ce naturally understood this expression, and it seemed that there was something hidden in it.

"I wonder if the student can borrow the archives of the county government. If there is no problem, my son-in-law and I will go back as soon as possible."

"This……"

"My lord, let the officials accompany Mr. Gongsun to check it."

Tang Wuxia slowly put down the teacup in his hand when the two of them walked away.Looking at the county magistrate who hesitated to speak, Tang Wuxia decided to speak up.

"I don't know if the county magistrate has anything to tell this son-in-law?"

"To tell you the truth, my son-in-law, in fact, the case was secretly put in by a subordinate official."

"Oh, why did my lord deny it just now?"

"Xiaguan just took office this year. I thought I could make some achievements, but I found out when I came here..."

The county magistrate wanted to say something, but when he heard footsteps slowly approaching, he immediately stopped talking, as if they hadn't said anything before.Tang Wuxia picked up the cup of tea again and drank it slowly.

"This subordinate has met the lord and the son-in-law."

The person who came was dressed as a policeman, and his salute was decent, but Tang Wuxia didn't hear a trace of respect from his words. It seemed that this county government office was far more complicated than he and the others had imagined. .

"Wang Catcher, why are you here?"

"It's not that my lord asked my subordinates to come over so that I can lead my son-in-law around the town."

"Wang Catcher doesn't say I'm going to forget it, so there will be trouble King Catcher."

"Mr. Gongsun doesn't know when to find out, and my son-in-law is also very boring. Wang Baotou wants to take me to have fun."

As soon as these words came out, Wang Catcher looked at Tang Wuxia with a hint of contempt in his eyes.Originally, Tang Wuxia's status as the son-in-law made them feel that the reason Tang Wuxia was able to gain a foothold in Kaifeng Mansion was entirely due to the princess' nepotism.Coupled with Tang Wuxia's outstanding appearance, it is more like a little boy who uses his appearance to confuse the princess in order to gain glory and wealth.

So these people were wary of Gongsun Ce at the beginning. As a commoner, everyone respectfully called him: Mr. Gongsun, such a person should not be underestimated.However, with Gongsun Ce's master Bo following him, there shouldn't be any problems.As long as the county magistrate is more sensible, their affairs will not be exposed.
