Wearing a county magistrate to build infrastructure

midnight.

Except for the place where the county magistrate lived in Houdi, there were only a few police officers in the front hall in the entire county government, but it was inevitable that people would get sleepy in the middle of the night.So it's a night watch, but it's just changing to an uncomfortable place and continuing to sleep.

What's more, during the day, the war books have been arranged for them, so that these slaves on night duty will pretend not to see anything that happens tonight, as their superiors have ordered them, so they naturally dare not disobey them.

It so happened that at this time, a shadow appeared sneakily at the back door of the county government office, looking around with its head shrunk.It was only after confirming that no one was around that he cautiously knocked on the back door of the county government office.

"Who is it?" The gatekeeper was a little old man who was almost 50 years old, and he seemed to be in good spirits.

But it was also recently raised by eating and drinking at the county magistrate's place. It seemed that there were sixty or seventy in the tooth shop before.

"I'm the catcher of the county government. I have something important to tell the county magistrate. Let me in quickly."

The man spoke in a hurry. The concierge has orders and cannot open the door tonight. "I have to talk to you tomorrow if you have something important to do. It's already late and everyone is in bed."

The concierge usually lives in the hut at the door, so he can't know as much news as the other few people.But he is also an old man, and he can see that something big is going to happen tonight.

The county magistrate said that as long as he didn't open the door tonight, he could just stay in the house, so of course he would do what he said.

"No, I have to say now, you open the door quickly, someone is going to kill Master Tang, I have to tell him, otherwise it will be too late." The people outside the door were anxious, afraid that the doorman would not open the door, and revealed the seriousness.

The concierge was a little panicked by these words. Combined with the order of the county magistrate tonight, it is likely that what the people outside said is true, but...

"What's the matter?" Tang Mo couldn't sleep, so he had to walk around the back mansion, waiting for tonight's big event, when he heard movement at the door, he came over to take a look.

"Someone came outside, and said that if there is something, he will tell your lord." The concierge lowered his voice a little bit when he said this, "He said that someone is coming to kill your lord tonight."

Tang Mo didn't expect someone to come to inform him, and asked aloud, "Who are you?"

"I am Detective Zhao who was met by the county magistrate when he arrived at the county government office that day. Mo Chang will open the door as quickly as you can. This is really a matter of life and death."

The tone of the people outside the door became a little more anxious, fearing that if it was delayed any longer, the art of war would bring people over to kill them.

Detective Zhao, Tang Mo has some impressions, it is the little catcher who was tricked out of the county government by the adults back then and did not do practical things, "Open the door and let him in."

The porter got the order, pulled out the wooden peg, opened the door that only allowed one person to enter, and hurriedly lowered the wooden peg after Zhao Zhao quickly entered the house.

"Come with me." Tang Mo was about to bring the man in front of Tang Zisheng.

But the concierge at the side had a hesitant expression. Tang Mo knew that the concierge heard the news and was afraid that the young master would not be able to take care of them, so he became a scapegoat.

"The young master must have prepared for you to stay in the house, so there is no need to be afraid."

Catcher Zhao quickly watched Tang Mo leave after finishing speaking, and silently recited the words of Mo Chang's easy-going concierge several times in his heart.Suddenly his heart tightened, which meant that Mr. Tang knew that something would happen tonight.

Returning to the main courtyard along the long corridor, Tang Mo knocked on the door. The lights in the house were still on, and no one in the entire county government office could sleep tonight.

"Master, Captain Zhao has something to tell you, so I brought him here."

Tang Zisheng, who was reading miscellaneous notes, first thought about who this policeman Zhao was, before he said, "Let him in."

Detective Zhao walked into the room tremblingly, feeling lucky in his heart, if Master Tang really knew what Bing Shu and the others were going to do, coming to inform tonight would have saved his life.

"What do you want to say?" Tang Zisheng looked at Zhao Kuai, probably having a guess in his heart.However, this person chose to betray Bing Shu and join him, which was beyond his expectation.

"Tonight, Du Bingshu is going to bring someone over to assassinate you, my lord, and I should be on my way to the county government office now. So the villain came here to tell my lord the news, so that my lord can leave the county government office as soon as possible."

Detective Zhao's voice trembled when he spoke. Looking at it now, compared to Du Bingshu, Mr. Tang is the most terrifying one.

Hearing the reply, Tang Zisheng didn't feel any disturbance in his heart, but nodded clearly, "Then why did you tell me that you are not afraid that Du Bingshu will trouble you after he finds out? What's more, the day I first came to the county government, I should have cheated you." It is to make you a little worried, isn't it good for you if I die?"

Zhao quickly shook his head after hearing this, "Sir, I never hated you for what happened that day, and you also gave me a chance to make up for my crimes. I must have exposed my affairs before my lord. As for why I came here, "Captain Zhao's eyes suddenly became firm, "I'm from Qinghe Village. My lord has turned over an old case for us in Qinghe Village, and now I've asked Gongshu to solve the farmland issue for us. I know you're a good official, my lord, so I don't miss you." die."

Tang Zisheng didn't expect this incident to happen, it can be said that it was unintentional.If he was a little bit stupid, he might be able to escape tonight's assassination.

"Those things are what I should do, and there is nothing to be grateful for. But you took the risk to remind me of it tonight, and I also made a note of it."

Tang Zisheng also thought that if he wiped out all the people in the sixth room, he would be in a hurry if he didn't even keep an old man.

But the twists and turns, life always needs some surprises to be regarded as surprises, "What's your name?"

"Returning to the adults, the villain's surname is Zhao Minghai."

"It seems that you are also very familiar with the sixth room on weekdays, so you should be able to distinguish who are the scribes."

"The villain can tell the difference."

"When you go out later, report the names of these people to Tang Mo. If this is done well, you will be the arresting head of the county government tomorrow."

Zhao Hai's brows were filled with joy, anyone who did things with the determination to die would not only not have to die in the end, but would also get great benefits.

"Thank you sir, thank you sir."

Tang Zisheng waved his hands helplessly when Zhao Hai kowtowed twice and wanted to continue kowtow, "Go down first."

"Okay, my lord."

Zhao Hai went out and closed the door of Tang Zisheng's room, leaving Tang Zisheng alone to look at the travel notes on the desktop, the third watch had passed, and there was still no movement outside, Zhou Nanchuan should have made a move.

-

"My lord, the blood will stop here." A group of people dressed in black stood among the trees to check for traces.

"It seems that someone rescued him." The man in black called "Master" looked unclear, "The vicinity is within the territory of Cang'er County, and there should be villages around."

"My lord, it takes more than half an hour to walk to the nearest village. If he is really rescued by the villagers, it is impossible to leave no trace."

There are kindness in the mountain people, but most of these people are stupid, I'm afraid they can't think of so many.

"You mean he was rescued by the general's people?" They hunted all the way from Nanzhou to Xizhou. Even if they acted secretly, they might have leaked their tracks. It is not impossible for the general's people to respond to that kid .

The subordinate who answered was questioned by the leader, so he continued to say, "It is possible."

The woods became quiet for a while. They had been in Xizhou for a long time. If they didn't return to Nanzhou, they were afraid that things would change. Now whether to go or stay depends on the leader.

The leader of the man in black thought for a while and made a decision, "You are right. Everyone searched for a stick of incense along the bloodstains. If they found no traces, they would return here immediately and prepare to return to Nanzhou."

If that person was really rescued, it would be a waste of time for them to continue searching.

"Yes, my lord." The man in black immediately dispersed after replying.

……

At this time, outside the county government office, a group of people were walking to the county government office.Although the curfew has been abolished in recent years, people who are used to not going out at night generally do not go out. It is rare to hear such a big movement at night. A few people who live near the county government boldly opened the door to peek and found Many people were wearing the clothes of the county office, and everyone was scared back.

Zhou Nanchuan waved his hand and asked people to push open the door of the county government. Behind him were nearly 60, no. [-] people, half of whom were escorted.

"Go and call Mr. Tang." Zhou Nanchuan ordered the people who followed him to go to the back mansion to call for someone. He misunderstood Tang Zisheng during the day, and it would be a little awkward to meet him now.

But he had already dealt with the ambitious people like Liufang for Tang Zisheng, no matter what, Tang Zisheng should be grateful to him.

The servants who got the order hurried to the back mansion, but with such a big commotion, the Zaolis who were on duty at night all woke up one after another, and at a glance they saw Du Bingshu, Wu Xingshu and Sun Hushu being escorted behind the county magistrate, They can't pretend they didn't see it.

"Master Zhou, what is this?" Catcher Wang quickly came over and asked.

Zhou Nanchuan ignored them, and beckoned someone to bring a chair over to sit in. The lobby of their county yamen has not been used for a long time. I don’t think the first case used by the new county magistrate today has such a grandeur. .

Tang Zisheng rushed over from the back mansion unhurriedly. He was wearing official uniforms, including green robes of the sixth grade. Even if Tang Zisheng didn't like the color of the green official uniforms, he had to wear them every day.

"Prime Minister Zhou, is there something important to call me here so late?" Tang Zisheng sat on his official seat, looking at the people crowding the lobby below, he was afraid that the cell would not fit.

"My lord, a thief broke into my house tonight, so I summoned my servants out of the house to chase after the thief. Unexpectedly, when the servants of my house chased near the county government office, they ran into a group of people going to the county government office. All of them had weapons in their hands, and Xiaguan remembered that he had encountered an assassination when he first arrived in Cang'er County, so he paid more attention.

But there were too many people, so I had to send my servants to the county martial arts hall to recruit more than a dozen martial arts masters who can handle the style to stare at them together.

It wasn't until the lower officials confirmed that their destination was the county government office that the servants and the masters in the martial arts hall were sent together to capture this group of thieves, never thinking about it."

Zhou Nanchuan stopped at this point, he didn't think about anything and didn't need to say anything, everyone knew it well.

Tang Zisheng nodded, "Wu Xingshu, is it really as Mr. Zhou said that you are going to deal with this official?"

"Your Excellency was wronged. We just thought that there were few people in the county government office, and we wanted to send more people to protect you, Sir. We have no other ideas. All of this is Lord Zhou's imagination. Please learn from Sir Zhou."

Wu Xingshu's face was pale. Ever since he was caught by Zhou Nanchuan, he had been thinking about how to get rid of the crime. Now when Tang Zisheng asked him, he naturally uttered the excuses he had prepared long ago.

"To protect me, you also use the household books, criminal books, and military books to come together in the middle of the night?" Tang Zisheng changed his face and asked playfully.

Wu Xingshu couldn't hide the horror in his eyes, and looked around again, and found that Sun Hushu and Du Bingshu both bowed their heads and remained silent. Only then did he realize that Tang Zisheng was waiting for them here.

"Prime Minister Zhou, this matter is of great importance. The murder of an official ordered by the court should be executed according to the law. The matter of execution should be reported to the magistrate. If there is no physical evidence, it will not be easy to convict."

Tang Zisheng didn't intend to interrogate them at all, as long as they found all the witnesses and material evidence, they would have to admit it if they didn't.

"Returning to my lord, the relationship between Du Bingshu, Sun Hushu and Wu Xingshu was not good before, but now they are planning to murder you, my lord. They must have signed a contract and they are mutual proofs. As long as my lord sends someone to search them, it will be sure." It is possible to find physical evidence."

Zhou Nanchuan replied respectfully, but rolled his eyes in his heart. He couldn't believe that Tang Zisheng didn't think of this.

"If that's the case, then lock them up first, and wait for the evidence to be found before trial." Tang Zisheng looked at the [-] or so people in the hall, "By the way, Zhou County Prime Minister, please notify Miao to come back for inspection tomorrow morning. The county government may be short of manpower now. very."
