Constable Fang's voice suddenly rose as soon as his eyes brightened.
"Go
Xiao Yiyuan rubbed his eyebrows and raised his hand.
"OK, I'll go now."
Constable Fang doesn't know Xiao Yiyuan's real identity. He thinks that young master Xia is a good friend with Qin Fengmu. He has made friends with Qin Fengmu many times, which shows his forthrightness.
……
Shicheng is a prosperous and prosperous city. There are no less than 500 silk piles, clothing shops, second-hand clothing shops and pawnshops.
Constable Fang sent all the available manpower and even mobilized the civilian staff in the county government. It took four days to complete the investigation, but the result was not as good as people wanted.
He went to the city Lord's residence again to meet Xiao Yiyuan.
This time, the place where they met was not in pianting, but in Nanyuan.
Under the locust tree in the courtyard of Nanyuan, they sat across from Zhang Shi's desk. Constable Fang was a little impatient and took the lead in speaking
"Mr. Xia, according to your guidance, I have investigated all the silk piles, clothing stores, second-hand clothing shops and pawnshops in the city, and found several suspicious people, but after the final investigation, they were excluded. Now, we still know nothing about the track of the beggar. "
As the words continued, Constable Fang frowned more and more tightly, obviously very distressed.
In the daytime, a homicide took place in the alley beside the main street, and it was still near the Lord's residence.
Although the city Lord's office did not exert pressure on the county government, the influence of this case is very wide.
The county government's delay in catching the murderer and bringing him to justice has already caused the panic of some people in the city.
If things continue to develop in this way, it will no longer be the fear of some people, but the whole stone city will be in a haze.
Although Constable Fang is only a small constable, he can worry about the people's worries and think about the people's thoughts. He is much better than the Wu county magistrate who only knows how to please and flatter.
"So, do you post a notice to see if there are any lost clothes and hats in people's homes recently?"
Xiao Yiyuan clearly felt Constable Fang's eagerness, but the beggar was too weird. Except for these stupid methods, other methods were too risky.
"... well, I'll try again."
Constable Fang hesitated briefly.
He felt that Xiao Yiyuan's method was similar to that of a blind cat killing a mouse, and his luck was too heavy.
If he had not thought of a better way, he would not have even adopted it.
Constable Fang left again, but this time his pace was not as sharp as before, and he was worried.
However, only half a day later, he was quite surprised to come to the city master's mansion Nanyuan to report his good news to Xiao Yiyuan.
"Mr. Xia, I have news. A middle-aged man selling firewood in the east of the city came to the Yamen to report that he lost a gray gown and a hat with curtains on the seventh day after the crime. After communicating with the soldiers on duty at the four gates, I got an important news. Just before the eleventh day, there was a man with a gray gown, a hat with curtains on his head and a bent back, The young man who claimed to have infectious lung disease left the city from the East Gate... "
So far, Constable Fang sighed
"It's a pity that this man claimed to have an infectious disease. The soldiers did not dare to get too close to him. They did not open his hat to check his face. They did not know whether his left face was disfigured."
"Do you want to send someone to follow the line?"
"Well, I sent them before I set out here."
Constable Fang nodded and gave a positive answer.
Xiao Yiyuan's eyebrows wrinkled in a flash, his voice was cold, and his words were full of command
"Withdraw your people immediately. I will send people from the city Lord's mansion to check the next thing. You will wait for the news that I will let you act."
Fang's head hesitated for a while
"This... Mr. Xia, it's the duty of the county government to investigate a case. I'm afraid it's not good to push it to the city master's office like this?"
"Nothing bad? It's just that the Lord of the city is a little free in the past two days, so he and Mr. Xia handle the case together! "
At the moment when Constable Fang's voice fell, Qin Fengmu's voice came from the gate of Nanyuan.
Listening to the sound, Constable Fang turned around and saluted Qin Fengmu respectfully.
With Qin Fengmu's active request, the last doubt left in the heart of constable Fang dissipated and soon left.
"I thought you would be so frustrated that you wouldn't even pay attention to this case."
Qin Fengmu stands in front of Xiao Yiyuan. Two equally excellent men stand opposite each other. The atmosphere is heavy.
"If this case does not happen in your territory, I will not intervene any more."
Xiao Yiyuan looked cold and his tone was cold.
Up to now, he still can't accept that his brother has united with Qin Yu to push Xia Jin away from him!
Since Xiao Yichen, as a brother, is merciless and wants to deprive him of all the warmth in his life and make his life full of haze and coldness, why should he be a filial brother?
Now, he still chooses to stay in Qin Fengmu's city Lord's house. First, he finds out the strange beggar's purpose of coming to the stone city to solve the problem for Qin Fengmu, which is also a reward for Qin Fengmu's blocking the arrow for him many years ago.
2、 Is to wait for the arrival of Xia Jin, he will ask her to leave the reason face to face. Still unable to keep people, he also needs an answer.
She once said that love is to let go, not to take.
If leaving is really what she wants, he will let her go!
Qin Fengmu was moved by Xiao Yiyuan's words, but not as deeply as he thought. He didn't know that there was Xiao Yichen's participation in it!
The two quickly agreed on a plan of action, and then Xiao Yiyuan took Tingfeng with him, and Qin Fengmu took qinyi to guard him. Four of them rode out of the city Lord's house and went toward the east gate.
……
Fifty miles to the east of Shicheng is the city of Hanchuan, where Qianzhou Prefecture is located.
Within this 50 Li area, there are scattered villages and towns, big and small. The four soldiers are divided into three groups, Xiao Yiyuan and Qin Fengmu each. Ting Feng and Qin Yi are in a group, and they go to the east along the way.
The beggar is clever but careless.
After his successful escape from Shicheng, he did not change his costume any more. Instead, he rode all the way to the East. Therefore, when Xiao Yiyuan and others inquired about his news, they were not as frustrated as the investigation of the front captor.
Two days later, the four followed the clues and arrived at Hanchuan City.
Hanchuan City is as prosperous and prosperous as Shicheng city. It has a large population and a large flow of people, so it's hard to rely on the investigation of four people alone.
At this time, Qin Fengmu's identity as the Lord of Shicheng played a very good role.
After finding the inn to stay, Xiao Yiyuan and Tingfeng left a rest, and he took Qin Yi to the prefecture to pay a visit to the prefecture.
Although Xu Ji was a civil servant, he didn't catch the bad habit of those literati who despised military generals. He had a good relationship with Qin Fengmu.
When Qin Fengmu arrived at zhoumu Prefecture, he was in the prefecture. He was very glad to learn that he had come to pay his respects. He opened the middle gate and welcomed him personally.
