Former government office.Zhang Qing, the secretary Jiang Changxing, and the supervising Song Dianshi were all invited by Long Xingtu to discuss the matter.Long Xingtu checked the recent criminal case files, and was very depressed in his heart, "I didn't have a case after I left, my wife was peaceful, I took a shortcut and came back two days earlier, and I happened to bump into an unsolved case!"
Am I unlucky, or am I too lucky?
”"Master Long, you are indeed in a hurry.But although there is no criminal case, it is not peaceful!
”Zhang Qing's face was gloomy.Hearing this, Long Xingtu put away his joking mood and said, "What do you mean by this?"
”When this topic was mentioned, everyone was full of anger.Jiang Changxing said: "Master Long, the leveling of the Tiger Village, in terms of contributing people and efforts, it is all the credit of our Wuyang County, and the seized loot is confiscated to the treasury and Wuyang County, and there is no problem at all, right?"
But you don't know that since you left, the Zhou County Commander of Jiang'an County has sent people to come several times to get a piece of the pie!
”Long Xingtu narrowed his eyes, "How can this be true!"
”"Zhou County Ling was brazen and said that Tiger Village spanned Wuyang and Jiang'an counties, and the spoils of war must be shared between the two counties."
Zhang Qing scolded angrily.Long Xingtu was speechless, "What a two-faced county magistrate Zhou Tong!"
When I discussed with him to cooperate in the suppression of bandits, he avoided it, but now he wants to sit back and enjoy it, it's a dream!
”Jiang Changxing sighed: "Lord Du disagrees, Zhou County's order actually wants to skip the level and hand over a copy of the Ginseng to the capital, the adult has the Danshu iron coupon in hand, he is not afraid, but since the trouble, there has always been a green forest Xiaoxiao in my Wuyang County to make trouble, and even want to assassinate the adult, thanks to the Zhong senior's action, otherwise the consequences are unimaginable." ”"Zhou County's order dares to collude with the green forest to murder adults?"
Long Xingtu's tone was flat, but he grabbed the teacup in his hand, and with his five fingers, the teacup shattered in his palm.Jiang Changxing said: "We are also speculating, but there is no evidence!"
”Long Xingtu threw away the garbage in his hand, his face was gloomy and terrifying for a moment, "Did my master go out to check Xiaoxiao to find evidence?""
Yes.The catchers left in the county are few and not elite, and it is inevitable that the protection will not be effective, so Zhong seniors will be chivalrous first. ”Zhang Qingdao.Long Xingtu frowned, "Something so big happened, the adults actually lied to me!"
”"Master Long has been on a business trip, but he has worked hard in the wind and rain, and he has just come back and put himself into a big case without stopping for tea, so I don't want Master Long to worry too much about being tired.""
That's right, our family is distressed by Master Long!"
A cold light burst out in Long Xingtu's eyes, "The emperor's holy decree, under the whole world, those who dare to kill Du Mingcheng, whether they are officials or bandits, will destroy the nine clans!"
Since Zhou Tong is tired of his own life, Long will take him for the first time!
”Sure enough, as she said in the Golden Palace that day, the enemy attacked Du Mingcheng while she was not at home, but fortunately, Master Zhong Wushan filled the vacancy at the critical moment and saved Du Mingcheng!
Everyone was overjoyed, and the resentment that had been held back for many days could finally be shamed!
Long Xingtu said: "Let's talk about the case."
What clues did those insiders provide?
”Zhang Shuban presented the transcript of the temporary express note and explained: "There are four insiders, all of whom are old households who have lived in the vicinity of the Tongfu Inn for a long time.Among them, Bai Zengfu is a blacksmith, Aunt Sai is a widow who runs a grocery store, Liu Dacheng sells ancestral tofu next to Aunt Sai's shop, and Zhang Butcher kills pigs and sells meat, and the neighborhood is used to calling him a big dog.According to the four people, the predecessor of the Tongfu Inn was a temporary transit station in the city, about 11 years ago, Wuyang County carried out the transformation of the city street, moved the post station to the city outside the ten mile shop, and then the Yamen as the master, the original post station was resold to a foreign merchant with the surname Gongsun, and since then it has been changed to the Tongfu Inn.Unfortunately, the inn only operated for two months before it was closed due to frequent hauntings, and the boss of Gongsun had to leave Wuyang County. ”Hearing this, suspicion rose in Long Xingtu's heart, "Haunted?
Were there any hauntings when it was used as a post station?
”"Nope."
Zhang Shuban is very sure, "The post station has been revoked for six years from its establishment to its revocation, and Bai Zengfu, Sai Da Niang, Liu Dacheng, and Da Gouzi have lived in the southwest suburbs for more than 20 years, and they have never heard the rumor of the haunting of the post station." ”"After the inn was closed and abandoned, was it ever haunted?""
Occasionally, there were a few times when the people in the neighborhood were panicked, and the county magistrate invited a Taoist priest from outside the country to do the law, and then it was peaceful."
Long Xingtu finished browsing the transcript at a glance and ten lines, muttered for a while, and said: "The inn has been abandoned for more than ten years, and no one has ever found that there are two corpses hidden in it?"
”"The people are ignorant and afraid of ghosts, even if the Taoist priest collects ghosts, who dares to hang out?"
Zhang Shuban sighed.Long Xingtu bowed his head, "This development is just like the murderer's intentions."
The longer the bones are buried in the cellar of the deceased's cowshed, the more difficult it is to solve the case, and the safer the murderer will be.However, Long never believed in ghosts and gods.In my opinion, the so-called haunting is nothing more than the murderer to cover up the murder and bury the corpse, such as the Daijiazhuang murder case, which is a good example of the past. ”"Yes, Master Long is right!"
Zhang Shuban clapped his hands excitedly, "It's never ghosts that harm people, but sinister people's hearts!"
”Long Xingtu still can't figure out one thing, "In terms of time, the inn had an accident before Lord Du took office, but ten years after Lord Du took office, although the inn is located on the outskirts of the city, it is also in the city, and it is abandoned all year round to affect the development of the county, how can Lord Du ignore it?"
”"Master Long doesn't know, it's not that Master Du doesn't want to demolish and rebuild, or use it for other purposes, but he wants to do it several times, but he has to give up because of obstacles."
Jiang Changxing's face was helpless, "Master Long, do you know who the last county commander of Wuyang County was?"
”Long Xingtu raised his eyebrows: "Who?"
”"It's Lord Du's top boss, Governor Qian.""
Governor Qian Qingmin?""
Yes."
Jiang Changxing sighed, "In the past ten years, Qian Qingmin has been promoted from the county order to the prefect, and from the prefect to the governor, but he has always paid special attention to our Wuyang County.There is only one reason for Governor Qian's objection, the location of the inn, from the perspective of feng shui, is the town and county of Wuyang County, once demolished, it will destroy feng shui, lose the protection of the gods, and will inevitably bring disaster to Wuyang County. ”Long Xingtu sneered, "Heh, you can still come up with such a nonsensical reason as the feng shui disaster!"
”"Yes, it is indeed not credible, but Lord Du has no ability to predict, and there is no guarantee that within a hundred years after the demolition, Wuyang County will not suffer natural disasters, which is a major matter related to the people of the county, so how dare Lord Du take risks?
What's more, the title deed and the house deed belong to the innkeeper, and without the owner's consent, it is also an illegal act.Of course, before the body in the cowshed was exposed, Lord Du didn't know anything about the origin of the inn, and even didn't know the identity of the innkeeper, the people avoided talking about it, and there was no record in the archives left by the government. ”
