Walking into a cesspit, the best evil widow wants to stand up

In the Heyang County Government Office, in addition to the newly appointed Magistrate Xu, the family members of the County Magistrate and Zhang Xiaowei are also here. They have also stayed in the County Government Office for several years and are considered old people.

In the past few years, nothing major has happened in Heyang County. But now, nearly 20 taels of silver have been stolen. This is no small matter.

The two of them knew the importance of this matter, and they did not dare to neglect it. They quickly took two official servants and rushed to Hongyuan Gambling House.

After Yang Wei left, Qiu Fu also calmed down, and quickly ordered Liu Er not to leak the news, and called all the guards from the other team back.

At this moment, the front yard two doors away was still crowded with people. Gambling was red-eyed and had no idea that the backyard of the gambling house had become a mess.

A dozen guards were now lined up in two rows. Looking at Qiu Fu's gloomy face, they felt uneasy and did not dare to express their anger. Among them, Liu Er said that the shopkeeper called them back if something happened.

Everyone thought there was something good going on, but they didn't expect to see the empty vault when they came back. Only then did they know that the vault was stolen, and they suddenly broke out in a cold sweat.

Originally, Qiu Fu was still thinking that if anyone didn't come back, he would be a suspect. What he didn't expect was that everyone came back.

The people in the front yard didn't know what happened in the back yard. When they saw Yang Wei coming in with several officials, they thought it was a routine inspection and did not cause panic, so they all bent down to show their goodwill to them.

The county magistrate was walking in front, followed by Lieutenant Zhang and two officials. At this moment, he had his hands behind his back and his head raised. He felt everyone's cautious and awed eyes, and he felt very comfortable in his heart.

In the past, even if I went out, I would follow behind Magistrate Xu, like a follower. Everyone looked at Magistrate Xu with admiration, wondering who would get him. But today is different, today the protagonist is him.

Of course Zhang Xiaowei didn't know what the county magistrate was thinking. As soon as he came in, he carefully observed the situation around the gambling house.

This gambling house is heavily guarded. There are more than 5 thugs in the front yard alone. There is a certain distance between the backyard and the front yard. To be exaggerated, there is a person guarding every three steps. It can be said that it is heavily guarded.

Although it is only a few steps into the courtyard, it has a nearly 5-meter-high courtyard wall, and ordinary ladders are not that high. Unless someone is there to help you up and down, people outside will not be able to climb up at all.

Even if he knew Qinggong, if he wanted to easily climb the five-meter-high courtyard wall, he must be a top martial arts master. Zhang Xiaowei himself was not sure that he could climb the courtyard wall.

He believed that there should be no such people in the entire Heyang County.

Yang Wei took Zhang Xiaowei and the county magistrate to the backyard. Qiu Fu personally invited them to sit down in the reception room and served tea.

"Your Excellency, please have tea."

The county magistrate raised his hand and took it, just as he was about to speak. Unexpectedly, Captain Zhang spoke first.

Captain Zhang raised his hand and said solemnly, "No need, let's take a look at the crime scene first!"

The county magistrate's hand holding the tea was raised in the air, and his face suddenly fell down. This damn Captain Zhang was trying to undermine him at every turn.

I am a higher official than him, so I clearly don't take him seriously.

I've just arrived and haven't even had a sip of water before I have to start working. I haven't enjoyed the feeling of being served enough yet!

This rich Qiu was already very anxious. As soon as they came over, he wanted to drag them to the scene, but there was no way. He had to be from the county government. No matter how anxious he was, he had to let him drink tea first.

Now when I heard Captain Zhang say this, I was naturally happy, but seeing that the county magistrate was not very happy, I couldn't make it too obvious.

"It's okay. There's no rush anyway. Let the county magistrate take a sip of tea first." Qiu Fu said with a smile.

He finally saw that these two people were not to be dealt with. Although the county chief was a higher official than the school captain, the school captain did not take the county chief seriously and did not sell the county chief's account at all.

But Qiu Fu didn't want to offend both sides, but he had no choice but to offend one of them. After thinking about it, Qiu Fu still chose the side of the county magistrate. There is a saying that it is better to offend a villain than a gentleman.

The captain looks like a gentleman at first glance, but the county magistrate may not. If he offended the county magistrate, he might let himself wear small shoes, but the captain would never do it.

Moreover, he believed that Colonel Zhang would not be able to hold back and speak first. In other words, this ugly man could just let Colonel Zhang do it, and there was no need to say anything himself.

After listening to Qiu Fu's words, the county magistrate's lips raised and his heart blossomed with joy. The shopkeeper was really discerning and knew how to please him. Unlike this captain, who always makes himself unhappy.

Hearing what Qiu Fu said, Colonel Zhang was a little surprised. Qiu Fu had a scar running through his entire face, making him look ferocious. He doesn't look like a kind person, he must be a person with a story.

This Hongyuan Gambling House had hundreds of thousands of taels of silver stolen, yet it could still be so calm. If it had been anyone else, it might have been so frightened that its legs and feet would become weak and fall down.

Zhang Xiaowei turned his head, looked at the county magistrate and said: "My lord, county magistrate, please remember that when the magistrate went out, he told us that we must keep an eye on the county government and help handle the county government's affairs.

We are here to conduct on-site investigation, not to drink tea. You can drink this tea anywhere. After the investigation is over, it will be easier for us to go back and do business, don't you think? When I return to the Yamen, I will have a drink with you. "

The anger in the county magistrate's heart made his mustache tremble, and he placed the teacup in his hand heavily on the coffee table with a snap.

From what the captain said, it seemed as if he had never had tea. He even moved the county magistrate out to suppress him at every turn.

Zhang Xiaowei looked calm and looked at the county magistrate with a smile. He knew that the magistrate must have cursed him a thousand times in his heart at this moment. It didn't matter, who asked him to fish during working hours?

He is not afraid of him, and what he said is right. As a parent official, he has to share the worries of the people. Although the county magistrate is not here, he cannot neglect it. And it seems it's not too early now.

Yang Wei and Qiu Fu looked at each other, neither of them dared to say a word. Qiu Fu's lips curled up, and he knew that Captain Zhang would be unable to hold back and say what he didn't dare to say. As expected.

"What Captain Zhang said is, let's just watch the scene!" the county magistrate said calmly. After speaking, he stood up. Looking at his calm face, his heart was filled with turmoil: "Damn Captain Zhang, I can't remember that. is you."

Other officers also carefully surveyed the scene, not missing any corner, but in the final analysis, there was nothing else in the vault except dozens of large wooden boxes.

"Your Excellency, after inspection, there is no damage to the walls, and there is no sign of any movement on the floor." An official came up to report.

"Hmm~!" The county magistrate waved his hand and signaled the officials to retreat.

The vault was like an iron cage, with no other exits or even windows. After careful inspection, the two found that neither the wall nor the door lock had been damaged at all.

Moreover, the floor was not damaged, which ruled out the possibility of cutting through the wall or escaping to the ground. The two came to the conclusion that the thief must have entered and exited through this door.

Zhang Xiaowei looked at the lock carefully and couldn't help but sigh. This lock was so exquisite that ordinary locksmiths should not be able to open it, but it was such a lock that the other party could open it easily.
