After coming out of Zhang's house, Cui Qiyan thanked Magistrate Yang, and the two parties left separately.

Dong Jiafu also wanted to send Tan Hao back first, but he declined.

"Don't be anxious once things are done. I can just go back by myself. It's not going to be easy for you to go back to the inn, so don't worry about me."

The smile on Tan Hao's face was a little forced. When he came, he expected to find some useful clues in the Zhang family, but unexpectedly he found nothing.

Dong Jiafu noticed his loss and comforted him: "Senior brother, don't worry too much. We will find a way to find out the truth."

"I know, let's go first." Tan Hao waved his hand and turned around.

Dong Jiafu looked back at the carriage and suggested to Cui Qiyan: "Your Majesty, do you want to go for a walk together?"

"I'm happy to accompany you." Cui Qiyan handed the horse to Ji Bai and strolled over to walk side by side with her.

The two walked in silence for a while, but Cui Qiyan spoke first: "What are you thinking about?"

"Do you think something is wrong with the Zhang family?" Dong Jiafu was just recalling everything they said and did after thinking about the Zhang family.

"What's wrong?"

"I can't tell, it's just a feeling." Dong Jiafu turned around and said, "By the way, I found that Zhang Shuan's wife was wearing a gold bracelet on her wrist. Although I couldn't see it clearly, it must be a gold bracelet."

Cui Qiyan didn't have a too surprised expression on his face, "In this case, this family is suspicious. Zhang Shi is suffering from diseases and needs to take medicine all year round, and the Zhang family has been crying about poverty in front of us. Look at their residence. It is indeed dilapidated. It is indeed intriguing that gold jewelry can be worn under such conditions.”

"Also, her attitude is not normal. If the gold bracelet is a serious one, there is no need for her to hide it. I watched her carefully. She was very careful, for fear that the bracelet would be exposed. Maybe we came too suddenly. Make her forget to take it off.”

"A sick man who only spends money but does not make any money may be a drag in the eyes of the Zhang family." Cui Qiyan said as he walked forward.

Dong Jiafu's heart suddenly tightened, "You mean Zhang Shi was killed by his own family?"

"It's not impossible. After all, if he dies, they won't have to spend money on his medical treatment, and they can have a free room."

"But those are their relatives who are connected by blood. How can they kill his life just for these things?"

"The love of blood cannot withstand the daily wear and tear of poverty. After returning home, I asked Ji Bai to do some research to see how Zhang Shi's family treated him before he was alive. Maybe we can find a motive."

Dong Jiafu stopped talking, thinking that those who sold their sons and daughters for a few taels of silver could still give up their own flesh and blood, not to mention that Zhang Shi was just a brother and uncle to the Zhang family.

The two of them walked slowly and unhurriedly, and arrived at the inn before they knew it.

The sky is clear and clear in spring, and there are many more people on the street.

On a flamboyant carriage, the curtain of the carriage was completely lifted, and a fat head poked out, with a pair of squinted eyes looking at young and beautiful girls on the street.

When Dong Jiafu came into his sight, he immediately stared at her, her eyes shining with excitement, her plump body clinging to the car, looking at her posture, he wanted to fly out.

"I didn't expect that there is a beauty I have never seen hidden in Linqing County," Zheng Chang's revealing eyes were undisguised, staring straight at Dong Jiafu, and looking at him, he suddenly remembered something.

"Stop!" Zheng Chang shouted to stop the carriage and called a short and thin servant following behind, "Come here."

The man immediately ran over diligently, "Master, what are your orders?"

Zheng Chang pointed out, "Look at that woman, is she the female doctor at Hui'an Hall?"

The short and thin servant looked in the direction he pointed, and quickly nodded without hesitation, "That's her! She was the one who caused the young master to be slapped. I will never admit my mistake!"

When Zheng Chang heard this, his buttocks seemed to be aching. The forty boards kept him lying on the bed for more than a month. During that time, the pain was so painful that he never had a good night's sleep.

He has never suffered so much since he was a child, and it was all because of that woman!

"Okay, she actually dares to come back."

Zheng Chang gritted his teeth. After he recovered from his injury, he sent someone to inquire about this woman, but she left Linqing County, leaving him with nowhere to vent his pent-up anger.

Now that she's back, it's time to settle the score with her.

"Is the man next to her the same one who went to the county government office with her?" Zheng Chang asked next.

The short and thin servant looked at Cui Qiyan carefully and said, "It doesn't look like him."

"Hmph, it seems that she is also a wanton woman, and she still pretends to be a chaste and fierce woman in front of me. Wait and see, she will fall into my hands and see how I deal with her."

Zheng Chang looked at Dong Jiafu's slim figure with an evil smile on his face, "It doesn't matter if it's not the original person, my uncle did not dare to offend him because of his identity. I suffered forty blows all my life. "

Zheng Chang watched Dong Jiafu and Cui Qiyan enter the inn, raised his eyes and wrote down the name of the inn.

"The sins I have suffered must be repaid twice as much!"

"Sir, do you want me to bring someone to tie her up now?" the servant said, rubbing his hands.

"Pah -" Zheng Chang reached out and slapped him on the back of the head, "Do you have a brain? You go to kidnap someone in broad daylight and you want me to get slapped again?"

The servant protected his head and said flatteringly: "I also want to vent my anger on the young master as soon as possible. Do you have an idea?"

"Let's talk in the evening. Let's go find my uncle first." Zheng Chang lost interest and lowered the curtain.

"Yes," the short and thin servant shouted forward, "keep going-"

As soon as County Magistrate Yang returned home, he heard someone coming to report, "Master, Mr. Zheng wants to see you."

When he heard that Zheng Chang was coming, County Magistrate Yang was very worried. He sat down on a chair and said, "Let him come in."

Not long after, Zheng Chang's voice came in first, "Uncle, my nephew is here to see you——"

County Magistrate Yang lowered his head and fiddled with the teacup, unwilling to look at him, "You didn't get into some trouble again, did you?"

"Look what my uncle said, since you slapped me last time, I have restrained myself a lot." Zheng Chang pretended to be obedient.

Only then did Magistrate Yang raise his head, "It's best this way. Those forty bucks were not in vain. It's time for you to remember a lot. Don't act recklessly just because your family has money, and get into trouble that you shouldn't get into like last time." people."

"My uncle taught me the lesson, my nephew doesn't dare anymore." Zheng Chang took a box from the short and thin servant, opened it and handed it over, "Uncle, I found a piece of fine jade, and I brought it here to honor you."

Magistrate Yang liked these things. He just took one look at it and immediately took it, holding the jade in his hand. He couldn't hide his joy, "It's really a good thing."

"Uncle, you have good eyesight. Only you are qualified to own such a fine jade."

"Okay, stop flattering me." Magistrate Yang put the jade back, "Tell me, what are you here for?"

"It's nothing," Zheng Chang said cautiously, "I just want to ask, why hasn't the doctor named Tan been punished?"
