Fang Kongzhang was overjoyed when he heard from Zhang Lu that they had killed a lot of villains and captured them. He cooperated immediately and ordered all the government soldiers to join in, and the whole city searched for those men in black.

Fang Kongxuan and others were relieved, but in the government office, there was an old man who was sitting on pins and needles.

He is the housekeeper and staff member of the magistrate Yang Xuekun, and he also plays the role of master in the magistrate. It can be said that he is quite a special person.

He stood and walked around the mansion, like an ant on a hot pot, with cold sweat on his head.

Not far from him, there was a middle-aged man with a gloomy face, and said indifferently: "Don't worry, they won't confess to you. Whenever they have the chance, they will commit suicide by taking poison."

This master was an old man in his fifties, and he said anxiously after hearing the words: "One man's jaw was crooked, and he didn't have time to die, and he was already on his way."

The middle-aged man frowned, looked at the master, and asked coldly, "Where is the account book?"

Seeing the middle-aged man's expression, the master felt cold, and immediately became ruthless. He gritted his teeth and said, "I know you guys will kill me afterwards. I put the account books in a trusted friend of mine. As long as I die, these account books will be destroyed." Make multiple copies and send it where you don't want it to go."

The middle-aged man's face was gloomy, his tone was as cold as a deep pool, and he said slowly: "You should know that if you don't do this, it will bring trouble to you, your family and friends!"

The master went all out, and sneered: "I will die if I don't hide, and my family will live well if I hide it! You have done so many things, and you have made so much money in Yangzhou Mansion alone. As long as my account books In one place, I believe that the person behind your scenes will be found out soon, even if you reach the sky, you will not be able to suppress it!"

The middle-aged man looked at the master, his eyes flickered, and then he snorted coldly and said, "Okay, I'll take you away, but you'd better keep your mouth shut and hand over that account book, otherwise you, everyone around you will be burned, you should know we can!"

The master trembled all over, and immediately said: "As long as you take me out, I will take my family and leave Nanzhili, hide far away, and I will come back again in this life, and I will also write to my friend and let him burn it Account book, you can rest assured."

The middle-aged man took a look at the master, walked past him expressionlessly, and walked outside.

Someone came to meet them in the yard. They avoided the crowd and quickly came to a remote corner.

The master also followed, looking at the tall wall and the shadowy figure behind him, he whispered anxiously: "Didn't you tell me to take me out? How to get out?"

The middle-aged man ignored him and nodded to a servant-looking man in front of him.

The man squatted down and tapped the wall lightly, the seemingly solid wall suddenly softened, he quickly took out the bricks, and a dog hole appeared in a short while.

The master didn't care about other things, he pushed the servant away, and he quickly got in.

With murderous intent in his eyes, the middle-aged man squatted down and followed behind his buttocks.

The middle-aged man crawled out of the dog hole, and couldn't help laughing out loud, but he suppressed it. Looking at the deserted street, he looked from both sides, calculating which way to run.

Then the middle-aged man crawled out, looked at the empty street, and frowned.

Even though this was their retreat, it was too quiet, completely different from the tension inside.

The servant followed and said in a low voice, "My lord, we have to leave quickly, we can't stay here for long."

The middle-aged man looked at the quiet street with no lights, his heart was beating violently, and he suddenly shouted: "Run!"

As soon as he finished speaking, soldiers came out from the shadows not far away, and the torches were lit up. This long street was like daytime!

Chapter 1189 Case in Case

These soldiers were dressed in armor and held long spears. They stood there without moving. The flames were flickering, illuminating their faces with an incomprehensible and murderous look.

The middle-aged man stopped, his heart was beating like a drum, his face was ugly, and his eyes flickered rapidly.

The master looked terrified, looked at the middle-aged man and said, "Didn't you say it's safe here? Can you take me away?"

The servant looked at the soldiers who were slowly approaching and surrounded them, his complexion turned pale, and he said, "My lord, what should we do? We can't escape..."

puff!

Suddenly, a dagger from the middle-aged man stabbed the master in the back.

The master's eyes were wide open, blood spit out from the corner of his mouth, and he tightly grasped the middle-aged man's hand with both hands, extremely shocked.

The middle-aged man remained calm and stabbed several times until the master fell to the ground with a face full of unwillingness.

"My lord..." The servant was shocked, looking at the middle-aged man, he lost his voice.

Pfft!

Before he finished speaking, the knife in the middle-aged man's hand suddenly swung and cut his throat.

The servant held his throat, cooing to speak, and fell down with a look of resentment.

The surrounding soldiers held their spears upright, and a soldier who looked like a captain said coldly, "Are you going to commit suicide?"

The middle-aged man looked at the two people who had fallen to the ground, and looked up at the captain who was speaking. The corners of his eyes twitched, and he said unwillingly, "I have to say, you guys are very clever and you managed to hide it from me, but don't be complacent. You can't find anything, and the matter is not over."

As he spoke, he gritted his teeth fiercely, then opened his eyes wide, and fell straight to the ground.

The middle-aged man fell to the ground and died on the spot, with anger still on his face.

At this time, Chu Jianghan rushed over, looked at the three people who died on the ground, looked calm, and said to himself: "So it was you."

The captain cupped his fists and said, "Master Chu, let them die like this, we can get them alive."

Chu Jianghan shook his head and said: "We just need to know who it is, there is no need to keep alive, otherwise the case will be difficult to resolve."

The captain didn't know what he meant. He was just ordered to make sure no one escaped, so he didn't ask any more questions.

Gong Dingzi soon came to the Yangzhou government office to take care of the case and listen to the reports from all sides.

Zhang Lu has not come back yet, but judging from the continuous news, seven or eight of the dozen or so people who fled were hunted down and killed, and four others disappeared, and no matter how hard they searched, they could not be found.

Chu Jianghan came to report and found the inner ghost of the Yangzhou government office, that is, Yang Xuekun's confidant teacher, the magistrate of Yangzhou, and also found a large amount of cash and bank notes from his home.

Various relationships are also being sorted out quickly, and the case is gradually becoming clear.

But there is a more sensitive point, that is, although there is no clear evidence that Jinyiwei's high-level officials are involved in the case, there are various signs that Jinyiwei has a very strong dark force in Yangzhou Prefecture, and it has been operating for many years with great plans.

In the backyard of the government office in Yangzhou, only Gong Dingzi and Fang Kongxuan sat opposite each other.

The two were silent for a while, and Gong Dingzi said: "Governor Fang, do you understand the purpose of this officer not to die?"

Fang Kongxuan nodded silently, this case is too complicated.Although there is the shadow of Jin Yiwei, Jin Yiwei is not the mastermind, or is just one of them. There are absolutely many big gentry families involved, and officials from all over Nanzhili.

If this investigation continues, not only will the current turmoil not calm down, but it will also lead to even greater turmoil, putting Nanzhili in a dangerous situation, and even making the "New Deal" stagnate further, and perhaps even go backwards!

Gong Dingzi looked at Fang Kongxuan's expression, and said: "I intend to close the case as soon as possible, settle the matter, and then return to Beijing to return to the order. I will leave other matters to Governor Fang. In terms of scale, I believe the adults will handle it."

Fang Kongxuan looked at Gong Dingzi and said, "Did you already know some inside information before you came?"

Gong Dingzi picked up his teacup and said, "Governor Fang, there are some things that even the cabinet has no right to know."

Fang Kongxuan is not stupid, he has already smelled something different from the whole incident, but as the chief minister of Nanzhili, he still asked solemnly: "I want to know, what is involved behind the scenes of this incident?" Where are these people, where is the measure?"

Gong Dingzi suddenly felt the taste of the tea was bitter and struggled.In fact, he didn't know much. He vaguely guessed that someone in Jinyiwei's senior management used power for personal gain and built a huge network of relationships, but he didn't know who it was and who else was in this network, and he didn't dare to investigate.
