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

Magistrate Xu has been suffering from a headache for a while. His son came back last night and said one more thing. He said that someone had recently cheated a lot of scholars out of their money in the county seat. It was really a wave of unforeseen events. Waves come and go.

To be honest, I feel ashamed. There are so many cases pending and almost none of them can be solved. It's not his fault. He has never solved a case. He didn't go to college in his previous life and spent all day doing nothing at home.

Playing mobile games every day, playing King of Kings for three consecutive nights, I ended up burping. When I woke up, I found myself here, not only with my wife, but also with a teenage son.

From being unaccustomed to it at the beginning, I have become accustomed to it now, and I have lived a carefree life.

Unexpectedly, cases are happening one after another now. There are some signs of the Hongyuan Gambling case. Captain Zhang was sent out, but he hasn't come back yet!

Just as I was thinking about it, Capt. Li's voice came from outside the door: "Colonel Zhang, you are back. No, I was still talking about you just now!"

Magistrate Xu's eyes lit up: "Colonel Zhang is back!" He quickly stood up.

Lieutenant Zhang walked in. He looked dusty but full of energy. He bent down and saluted and said, "I see you, Your Excellency."

"So how is the investigation of the case?" Magistrate Xu asked with concern: "How is it? Do you have any clues?"

"Sir, it's just as you expected." After saying this, Colonel Zhang laughed, his excitement palpable: "The owner of Hongyuan Gambling House is not Qiu Fu, the real owner is someone else. "

"Oh?" Magistrate Xu raised his eyebrows: "Say it quickly."

"Sir, where do you think I watched them go?" Captain Zhang said mysteriously.

"Okay, stop beating around the bush and just say it!" Magistrate Xu couldn't hold his breath after seeing Captain Zhang talking for a long time without getting to the point.

Captain Zhang then put away his smile and said sternly: "I followed the two of them to Fucheng that day, and saw the two of them entering a grand mansion covering an area of ​​dozens of acres, with Ji Gong's Mansion written on it.

The Duke Ji's Mansion was heavily guarded. Later, I tried to find out. It turned out that this was Ji Ming, the father-in-law of He Hai, the sixth prince of the current dynasty. This was also Duke Ji.

"Oh, it's him!"

Ji Ming is no stranger to Magistrate Xu, because the original owner fell into his hands and took over the mess as soon as he came through.

Ji Ming was not only the father of the Sixth Princess Ji Yan, he was also the young minister of Dali Temple, and he also had considerable influence in the court.

The current emperor has thirteen sons and six daughters. The prince behaves absurdly and harms loyal people, but he does not know how to restrain himself. He listens to slander and wants to force the palace. In the end, the emperor is angry and deposes the prince. Since then, everyone has been eyeing the position of prince.

The second and third princes died in infancy, the fourth prince, Hepburn, was frail and sick, the fifth prince, Hetong, was talented and dull, and the sixth prince, Hehai, was good at literature and martial arts, and was brave by nature, but he was ruthless and determined to win the position of prince and wanted to eliminate all those who were obstacles to him.

The seventh prince, He Cong, is both civil and military, calm by nature, and kind-hearted. He doesn't like fighting with others, let alone killing brothers and getting involved in family wars.

But because he was too outstanding, he was often mentioned by the emperor, but he was regarded as a thorn in the side of the Sixth Prince and wanted to get rid of him.

He Cong's mother was just an ordinary handsome girl, but He Hai's mother was the daughter of a Taiwei, and her family's strength should not be underestimated.

The Eighth Prince Hemo and the Ninth Prince Hechao, both of whom were from the same mother, also regarded the Sixth Prince as being obedient and willing to submit to him.

Although the Tenth Master He Feng was only eighteen or nineteen years old, he was also a brave man, but he was rebellious by nature and did not want to be restrained. He did not like being in the palace. In addition, when his mother gave birth to him, he suffered from postpartum hemorrhage, and in the end he could not save his life. So they are even more bearish on rights.

He was even more disdainful of the position of prince. Although he and the seventh master He Cong were not of the same mother, they had a deep brotherly love. He Cong also cared deeply for his younger brother and protected him since childhood.

Therefore, Heli supported the seventh master and was tit for tat with the sixth master. He was also regarded as a thorn in the flesh by the sixth master, and he would not be happy if he did not pull it out.

Perhaps the emperor felt he was indebted to Heli for his mother's early death, so he loved his son especially. Let He Hai not dare to act rashly.

The emperor knew that Heli didn't like being in the palace, so he specially gave him a luxurious courtyard on the outskirts of the capital, with maids to guard him and all the facilities.

However, this Tenth Master also often travels around. He rarely lives in the capital. He Hai gradually dropped his guard against him.

The other princes are still young, the eldest is only seven years old, and the youngest is only one year old, so they do not pose a threat at all.

By chance, Xu Mingchang and He Li became friends. Although Magistrate Xu was older than him, there was no generation gap between the two.

He made it clear that he was not interested in power and would love to fight for it, but he preferred that the seventh brother could be the prince. Seventh Brother has a kind heart, and it will be a good thing if it is handed over to him after the Great Reign.

The sixth brother is different, his methods are too vicious. If he becomes the prince and inherits the throne, I don't know how many people will suffer. The first one will be either him or the seventh brother.

The original owner, Xu Mingchang, was the Minister of the Ministry of Revenue at the time, assisting the Minister of the Ministry of Revenue in managing the economy. By chance, he discovered that the Sixth Prince was using power for personal gain, using his private treasury, and secretly cultivating soldiers. His intentions were revealed.

This shocking discovery made him determined to investigate secretly and get to the bottom of it, but he didn't expect to be discovered.

This Ji Ming is eager for quick success and instant gain. He is not a member of the same family and does not enter the same family. Knowing that he is investigating his son-in-law, he even uses his position to destroy some of the evidence.

Due to a moment of negligence, Xu Mingchang was framed and framed. Not only was he guilty of abusing power for personal gain, he was also guilty of slandering the prince. All the evidence was unfavorable to him.

He was almost sentenced to exile. Fortunately, the Seventh Master and the Tenth Master defended his case and risked their lives to remonstrate with the emperor, which gave him a chance of survival.

The emperor knew more or less what the Sixth Prince was doing, but now that the Sixth Prince had many gang members and became more and more arrogant, he couldn't do anything to him.

The emperor is also afraid that the Sixth Prince will be the master of one person, and no one will be able to suppress his superiors. Maybe he thought it would be useful to keep the original owner, so in the end the emperor demoted the original owner to Heyang County under pressure.

The original owner was disheartened and suddenly felt the darkness in the court. He vomited blood and died in a rage. It was at this time that he passed through.

After receiving the memory of the original owner, he was also glad that he was demoted to this small place. Basically, there was nothing important in this small place, and he was happy and relaxed.

Later, the Tenth Master brought two letters, one of which was written by the Emperor himself, asking him to continue to secretly investigate the matter of the Sixth Prince. If this was really the case, he would not be lenient! Clear away the cancer for the great rule of the dynasty.

In addition, the seventh master He Cong also wrote him a letter, asking him to find a way to find someone in Heyang County, a little girl, about seven or eight years old.

As for the identity of the girl, Master Seven did not say it clearly. He looked at Xu Mingchang and asked, Master Ten said that he was still a child at the time. It was also in the past few years that Mr. Qi once said this while drunk.

Nine years ago, the Seventh Prince fell in love with Xia Wan, a maid next to Fujin, and eventually became pregnant. When Fujin found out, he tried every means to abort the fetus.

Fortunately, the Seventh Prince took precautions and arranged her in a separate hospital that Fujin didn't know about. In the end, Xia Wan was able to give birth safely and gave birth to a little princess. Unexpectedly, the little princess disappeared in the end and disappeared from home. .

She couldn't be found back no matter what, and her whereabouts are still unknown. Her mother Xia Wan went crazy because of this, and asked her to live in a separate courtyard with someone to take care of her.

Two years ago, Fujin was critically ill. In his last moments, he told a shocking truth. She sent servants to send the little princess away, but she only knew that she was dumped in the Tutu Temple in Heyang County. Master Qi also sent people to look for her. But after so many years, I don’t know where to look for it.

At that time, I also asked the local official to help investigate a little girl of the same age, but found nothing.

Perhaps due to some secret arrangement, the emperor actually sent Xu Mingchang to Heyang County, which rekindled his hopes.

The child was only three days old at the time, and I had only been with the child for less than a day. I only remembered that the child had a butterfly birthmark on his back shoulder and a cinnabar mole behind his right ear.

Finally, in the blank space of the letter, a butterfly mark was drawn for his reference.

"But it's strange." Captain Zhang said: "Do you think, if it were anyone else, hundreds of thousands of taels of silver were stolen from this treasury, who would be worried? But why don't they use the identity of the princess to suppress us, but act like nothing is wrong. "

"That only proves that they don't want us to know the owner behind this Hongyuan Gambling House. However, the more they act like this, the more suspicious they will be."

Magistrate Xu pondered for a while and then said: "I'm afraid it's not that simple. Pull out the carrot and bring out the mud. If we investigate, maybe more people will be involved. The real owner may be someone else. "

Captain Zhang was horrified and his eyes widened: "Sir, are you talking about...?" Seeing that Magistrate Xu had something to say, Captain Zhang made a bold guess.

"That's right! Everything is possible, we can't take it lightly." Magistrate Xu nodded.

Captain Zhang came with him. When he was demoted, he was also involved, and he has been demoted to this point.

"No wonder! I saw a fast horse, like a messenger, coming out of his house and going straight to the capital. I wanted to catch up with him, but I was afraid that I would miss something, so I didn't follow him." Captain Zhang A sudden realization dawned on him.

"Sir, what should we do next?" Captain Zhang asked.

"Keep an eye on the Hongyuan Gambling House and see who's there." At this point, Magistrate Xu looked up and down at Captain Zhang and said, "No hurry, you go back first to take a shower and change clothes. Take a rest these two days.

You will be responsible for this case. There should be no other changes at the moment. We will remain unchanged in response to any changes. I will let Capt. Li handle the other cases.

Hearing what the adults said, Lieutenant Zhang finally breathed a sigh of relief. He hadn't had a good night's sleep in a few nights. If he was given a bed now, he would probably be able to fall asleep.

After Captain Zhang left, Magistrate Xu called Capt. Li over and told him this and that, telling him not to alert the enemy in case the other party was alerted.
