Taiping mansion is located on the edge of the Yangtze River, with smooth waterways and convenient communication with Jinling.

Magistrate Zhang Yuqing is in his forties. He is an old official, but he is unable to rise. Seeing the new emperor ascend the throne, the demotion of all kinds of people and the promotion of promotion, he is still the same.

"Where is xinghebo's whereabouts?"

Early in the morning, Zhang Yuqing asked about it. But his aide Xue Dong shook his head and said helplessly, "Sir, I'm still playing on Donglu mountain."

Zhang Yuqing said with a smile: "with beauty, xinghebo naturally doesn't think of Shu. Ha ha!"

Xue Dong nodded, and then they began to discuss what to do today.

......

After a day's hard work, Zhang Yuqing came home tired. His wife and children had been waiting at the dinner table for a long time.

"My husband has worked hard."

Wang smiled and brought the servant girl over, and then helped Zhang Yuqing change and wash.

"Father."

Sixteen year old Zhang Fei looks very green, but he has the highest qualification among the scholars in Taiping mansion, which is also the pride of Zhang Yuqing.

"Where did you go today?"

Zhang Yuqing asked, sitting at the dinner table.

Zhang Fei smiled and said, "today, my child and several friends went to the river to play, and then learned from each other."

Zhang Yuqing said with satisfaction, "it's good, but now it's water-cooled. Pay attention not to fall into the water."

"Yes, father. But there are some ships coming today. It seems that they are going to pick mud."

Taiping mansion has clay, which is also the reason for the establishment of official kilns here.

"Eat."

Zhang Yuqing nodded and the family began to eat in silence.

After dinner, Zhang Yuqing went to the study.

The night of Taiping mansion is very lonely. Unless it is a banquet, you can only pass the time by reading.

After reading the book for a long time, Zhang Yuqing suddenly closed it. There was a summary of imperial examination articles on the cover, but he sighed: "the way of science is really mysterious. Unfortunately, it's not bad luck. Mohism has become a craftsman. It's not easy to get ahead!"

At this time, someone outside whispered, "Sir, here comes a man."

Zhang Yuqing's eyebrows jumped and said, "please invite him in."

Then a man in gray came in. The wind brought by him made the candle flicker. Zhang Yuqing's face was dark and unknown.

The man came in and casually arched his hands, and then said, "Lord Zhang, have you checked the city?"

Zhang Yuqing was surprised and said, "the man is still in Donglu mountain. Why should we conduct a strict investigation?"

The man looked at him with an eyebrow and said, "it's difficult to determine the whereabouts of that man. Don't forget that he was a diversion and directly killed Duoyan Sanwei!"

Zhang Yuqing shook his head and said, "that was his Majesty's means. How could he have this ability!"

"Don't underestimate your opponent!"

The man looked back and said in a low voice, "those who followed were all broken legs. Your highness was very angry and took five families at one stroke. If the man was just traveling, he would be furious. Then he returned to Jinling to investigate the matter thoroughly, instead of running around with his concubine!"

Zhang Yuqing pondered, "is this your master's words?"

"Yes." the man hung his head. The candle light could not shine on his face and looked at the gloomy.

"My master said that you were too cruel and lacked strategy."

Zhang Yuqing's face suddenly flushed and roared, "if it wasn't for Gu Keli, how could I be so nervous? I found a relationship and hid it. Your master can sit still. When his brother is dead, he worries about being too cruel!"

The man whispered, "my master said that if he had come to deal with it at the beginning, he must have beaten and let people go, and then slowly clean up those people later, instead of killing all of them in prison. So you just can't stand it. That's why you didn't get promoted."

Zhang Yuqing's face was ugly. He clenched his fist and wanted to beat the table. Finally, he choked and said, "Gu Keli said that the former emperor died well! You know? Good death! If I don't kill those people, if this word is spread, not only your master will be unlucky, but I will also be unlucky!"

The man put a touch of sarcasm on the corner of his mouth and said, "but you shouldn't have missed that guy, causing the situation to get out of control."

Zhang Yuqing's chest fluctuated rapidly several times and said dejectedly, "well, since everything has been done, it's useless to argue about who is right and who is wrong. Come on, what's your master's judgment on this matter?"

The man frowned and said, "my master said that the man is as cunning as a fox. He seems to travel, but he can't touch it. Especially when his highness is still in Jinling, he actually left his highness. You know... His majesty sent him to Jinling with his highness, mostly to use his magnanimous reputation to frighten the south, so..."

Zhang Yuqing held his forehead with his hand and sighed, "I know. I'll send someone to check it tomorrow."

The man could not hide his disappointment and said, "Lord Zhang, strike while the iron is hot. Can't Taiping mansion have more thieves today?"

Zhang Yuqing sneered, "but how do you ask those yamen servants to find them in the evening? Pretend to understand. Go. I will arrange it tomorrow."

After the man left, Zhang Yuqing suddenly covered his face and cried silently.

The candle light reflected the figure on the wall. The figure gradually raised his head and gradually turned sideways. The shadow was ferocious.

"Now that you've done everything, do it to the end! Although thousands of people... I'm going!"

The shadow shook and seemed to be grinning

……

In the early morning, the gate of Taiping mansion was opened, but everyone found that there were more gatekeepers today, and they were very vigilant. When they saw the formation, they would inquire carefully.

In the city, those sergeants and yamen soldiers entered the Inn and checked every room.

"My Lord, what case has been committed?"

A fellow leading the way asked curiously.

Naturally, the sergeants would not answer. The Yamen who led the team said, "it is said that more than a dozen bandits entered the mansion. Lord Zhang was worried that they would commit crimes, so he drove us out early in the morning to search."

The man heard the speech and said, "Lord Zhang still loves the people like a son!"

After searching for a circle and finding no suspicion, the Yamen servant ordered: "if there are more than five people staying together recently, you must go to the Yamen immediately to inform. You know the consequences."

"Yes, yes, yes!"

Out of the inn, the official said sadly, "go and look again."

……

In a big house not far from the inn, Fang Xingzheng and Mo Chou were having breakfast.

Mo Chou noticed a trace of uneasiness from the smile on the face when the hostess of the family came to see the ceremony last night, and then Fang woke up and didn't come back to bed until midnight.

Fang Xing put down his chopsticks and said, "I'll do something by the way in Taiping mansion. It's about a day or two. You can have a rest here. When we're done, we'll go back slowly."

Mo Chou zhanyan said, "don't worry, sir. I have an appointment with Mrs. Li to see the embroidery today!"

……

When Fang woke up in the front yard, Mr. Xin told him, "Sir, Taiping mansion searched wantonly this morning, especially the inn."

"Zhang Yuqing noticed something wrong? It's good. But this is the inspector's home of Taiping mansion. It's dark under the light! By the way, has anyone found it?"

"I found the master. The man was there and had fan Ting's autograph."

"OK!" Fang Xing said with satisfaction, "it's a big deal! As long as you get the blood book and the testimony of those witnesses, the case will be solved. Later, it depends on the extent to which your highness wants to take the opportunity to play."

Before long, a tall man was brought to Fang Xing.

"Little Mao San, I've seen uncle."

Xin Laoqi handed Fang Xing a piece of paper. Fang Xing took it. Seeing that the blood words on it had turned black, he sighed: "it's a man, what a pity!"
