Cheng Xianwei's silence speaks for itself. If County Magistrate Zhu intends to shield Zhan Feiyu, even if the Huang family submits the case, Zhan Feiyu cannot be convicted based on a single motive for killing.

The wound on his body was involved at the slightest movement, Wang Catcher clenched his fists angrily, and the more he thought about it, the more unwilling he became, "My lord, are we going to let that bitch go like this?"

"Just wait and see what happens." Cheng Xianwei patted Wang Tuntou's shoulder reassuringly, and said in a deep voice again: "Find out the origin of that girl first."

Wang Baotou nodded, at this moment he really regretted that he burned the road guide without even looking at it, otherwise it would be much easier to check, but County Magistrate Zhu wanted to get in touch with that cheap girl's family and find out her identity The origin is only a matter of time.

Changxing Inn.

The arrival of Wei Xiancheng did surprise Zhan Feiyu.

After a while, Zhan Feiyu, who was downstairs in the Accord, opened the door and looked at Wei Xiancheng, who was alone, "I don't know if my lord will come, but please forgive me if I miss you."

"Miss Zhan, you don't have to be polite. This official came here uninvited." Wei County Prime Minister smiled loudly, seeing the little girl's neither humble nor overbearing attitude, she must come from an extraordinary family background. If she hadn't been in frequent contact with officials, a half-grown girl would not be so calm Take it easy.

He Sheng stood guard at the door, even if there was an extra outsider, Wei Xiancheng just glanced at it lightly and then looked away.

The brief greetings were interrupted again when He Nuan pushed the door open.

"My lord, please." Zhan Feiyu greeted Wei Xiancheng to drink tea. Although he had already said something, he had to say that Wei Xiancheng was worthy of being an old fox. I don't know his purpose, but I can clearly feel the politeness in Wei Xiancheng's words.

The faint scent of tea permeated the air, and he picked up the teacup and took a sip. Wei Xiancheng's eyes changed slightly. Although it was black tea, it turned out to be a top-grade cardinal.

Qianzhong Road is also rich in tea, but green tea is the majority. Looking at the Daqing Dynasty, the tea in Jiangnan Road was firmly in the top grade, and the cardinal was even the top grade among the top grades.

Wei Xiancheng was lucky enough to drink it once. It was a young man who came from Zhongzhou Prefecture three years ago. Because he had a temper with his elders and was unwilling to take the imperial examination, he chose to go into business. He was also worried that his elders would interfere, so he ran away in a fit of anger. Arrived at Qianzhong Road.

Because the capital was not much, it was difficult to start a business in various state capitals, so I finally chose Liu County. At that time, the cardinals were the guests, and even in Jiangnan Road, this pot of tea would cost ten taels of silver. The key is that the production of cardinals is small, and they are very popular among noble ladies, so ordinary people can't buy them even with silver.

"Is there an elder in the girl's family who is a businessman?" Putting down the teacup, Wei Xiancheng straight to the point stated his intentions, "Master Zhu believes that as a girl, she will not care about a child, and she will not be so narrow-minded as to poison Huang Baocai."

What Wei Xiancheng didn't say was that even if he wanted to kill someone, with the background of the girl in front of him, why would he need to do it himself?
The more noble the family, the more he cherishes his feathers. Huang Baocai is just a naughty boy, and the guard guarding the gate is a master. Let alone Huang Baocai, even if Huang's family is killed, the government will not find any evidence.

Thinking of Zhu County delegating power to Wei County Cheng and Cheng County Wei, and single-handedly grasping the business of Liu County, Zhan Feiyu also understood Wei Xiancheng's coming, and said with a smile: "Huang Baocai died of an overdose of Mongolian sweat medicine." , and this medicine is the same Mongolian sweat medicine that was used by the kidnappers on the Lantern Festival last year."

Huang Baocai was not killed by Zhan Feiyu, and she had only been in Liu County for two days, and she did not hesitate to use the life of a child to frame her, there was no other possibility except Sister Hong's kidnappers.

Even the results of the autopsy were found, Wei Xiancheng suppressed his emotions calmly, "It's a pity that Mrs. Zhou committed suicide in prison, and her accomplice has already escaped. I'm afraid she won't show up in a short time."

If these kidnappers were still in Liu County, County Magistrate Zhu would dig three feet to find them, but if they fled to Fucheng or other places, County Magistrate Zhu is only a seventh-rank county magistrate after all, he is not so If you have a lot of skills to catch people back, pasting the sea arrest documents will not do anything.

"My lord, a group of kidnappers dare to rampage in Liuxian County. If they hadn't colluded with the government, would they have such courage?" With a smile, Zhan Feiyu's delicate bun face showed an undisguised mockery.

After a hundred days of injury, the legs of the gangsters were all broken by He Sheng. If someone hadn't tipped off the news, how could they leave the clinic in a hurry? In the future, it will really become lame.

Looking at Zhan Feiyu with sharp eyes, Wei Xiancheng did not hide the shock on his face, this little girl really dared to say it.

"Magistrate Zhu is dedicated to the people, and his official voice is very good. I don't think he will collude with a few conscientious kidnappers. Didn't your lord check the county magistrate?" Zhan Feiyu pointed out his attitude unceremoniously. She doubted The official who colluded with the officials and bandits is Cheng Xianwei.

"The prosperity of the world is for profit, and the hustle and bustle of the world is for profit. County magistrate Zhu was born in a family of generals. Even if he is not jealous of evil, he will not do anything utterly unscrupulous for money." Zhan Feiyu spoke again, looking at the man sitting in front of him. Wei County Cheng.

"The Wei family is a family of farming and studying. The adults have a hundred acres of fertile land, and they also funded a family school to support the children of the family who are talented in reading to study in the imperial examination. If you think about it, you will not bend your waist for money."

The scholars in the Daqing Dynasty were noble and proud. Although there were some gentle scum among them, most of the scholars cherished their feathers.

Colluding with kidnappers to sell children, once it gets out, not only will his own reputation be ruined, but it will even affect the children in the family and all the children in the family who are studying. In terms of Wei Xiancheng's virtue, he will never do this.

Before coming here, he inferred that Zhan Feiyu had a special background, so Wei Xiancheng calmly accepted what he said to her after being shocked. in the eyes.

After some deliberation, Wei Xiancheng said: "Master Zhu trusts Cheng Xianwei. It is the merit of Cheng County Lieutenant who does not close the door at night and does not pick up things on the road in Liuxian County. Merchants from all over the country come to Liuxian to do business. It is also Cheng County Lieutenant. labor."

As far as County Magistrate Zhu is concerned, even if Captain Cheng sometimes acts out of line, the flaws are not concealed. If it were replaced by other people, Liu County would not be so peaceful.

As if he was worried that Zhan Feiyu didn't understand enough, Wei Xiancheng explained again: "Not to mention that Captain Cheng saved your life, but only said that after you took office, you wanted to develop the business in Liu County and make people's lives rich, but At that time, the merchants in Liu County united to resist the decree issued by the adults."

The situation is basically the same everywhere. A few big merchants control the business of one side, and other small merchants are attached to the big merchants. Ordinary people set up small stalls on the street to sell things, and no one cares.

But if other merchants want to come in, it will not be easy if they want to get a share of the pie. They will be boycotted by all the local merchants, and the strong dragon can't overwhelm the local snake.

At that time, Zhu County Magistrate wanted other merchants to come to Liuxian to do business, and even reduced taxes for this purpose, and provided them with free space to build shops. This was bound to be opposed by merchants in Liuxian County.

"In the end, Cheng Xianwei used iron and blood to quell the turmoil. Otherwise, if it broke out, it would be a civil uprising. Not to mention the loss of your official position, the entire Zhu family would even be imprisoned." Wei Xiancheng really admired Cheng Xian on this point. Wei's means.

Although this method is a bit dirty and even illegal, the final result is good. If you use a gentle strategy, let alone three months, I am afraid that it will not be completed in three years.

"Forgiveness is nothing big, and punishment is nothing small." Zhan Feiyu said slowly, but there was a coldness in his dark and clear eyes.

This sentence comes from "Shangshu". The original meaning is that a momentary mistake can be forgiven even if it is a big one;

As Shangfeng, County Magistrate Zhu could not have been ignorant of what Lieutenant Cheng did. All of this will not have the prosperity and wealth of the people in Liuxian County today.

Mr. Wei is also from Juren. He also knew that Zhan Feiyu had read books before, but he thought that Zhan Feiyu was just like those daughters of rich families. Reading also pays more attention to poetry and poetry, which is to cultivate sentiment, but he didn't know that she was interested in the Four Books. The Five Classics are at your fingertips, this is no ordinary reading enlightenment.
