Demon detective

Chapter 133 Farewell
Five days later, both sides of the official road were crowded with ordinary people who came to see him off.

Knowing that Song Zhili, the county magistrate, was about to leave Yanping and go to Qizhou to take up his post, the common people spontaneously dragged their families with them, holding gifts in their hands, and came to see each other off.

Many people took out the only good things at home and planned to give them to County Magistrate Song, but County Magistrate Song would not accept them.

Since Xu Zhen didn't agree to go with him, Song Zhili had no choice but to take away Cheng Xiao, the head catcher, and several close-fitting yamen servants.

"Master Qingtian! We can't bear to part with you..."

"Yes, you let us live a good life, we will never forget your great kindness..."

"If my Daxuan officials are all like Mr. Song, the country will be rich and the people will be strong, and they will live and work in peace and contentment. Why should the country be afraid of not being prosperous..."

When Song Zhili walked through the crowd, the common people fell to their knees one after another, shouting "Master Qingtian", and many common people burst into tears, reluctant to part with such a good official who is not afraid of the powerful, just and honest.

At this moment, Song Zhili had never felt such a grand treatment, and the corners of his eyes were moistened immediately.

While excited, he quietly took out a piece of paper, on which was written the line that Xu Zhen had left for him:

"Water can carry a boat and also overturn it."

Seeing these eight characters, he felt sublimated again, and realized more deeply what is the foundation of his way of being an official.

So, when he finally reached the end of the line and was about to get on the bus, he couldn't help but give Xu Zhen a meaningful look!
Xu Zhen also seemed to be able to feel his deep meaning, and immediately bowed and clasped his fists, saluting respectfully and saying goodbye.

People often say that they look at each other and smile to wipe out their grievances. The two of them didn't smile, but the grievances still disappeared.

……

After Song Zhili left Yanping, Chen Houlu, the old county magistrate, took office as the county magistrate of Yanping, and also served as the county magistrate.

The first thing Chen Houlu did when he took office was to announce in public that Xu Zhen would succeed Cheng Xiao as the head catcher, and the county government head catcher would be surnamed Xu from now on.

Chen Houlu is not stupid, of course he knows that Song Zhili was played around before, all thanks to Xu Zhen.

But it was also because of this that Song Zhili was able to have today's fortune.

Therefore, Xu Zhen can never afford to offend himself.

Moreover, there are still many important decisions to be made in the future, and he also needs Xu Zhen's help.

It is undoubtedly the most suitable for Xu Zhen to be the head of the county government.

The second thing Chen Houlu did after taking office was to deal with Cui Xiaotian's aftermath.

This time is different from Qiu Batian, due to the fire at Wansheng Casino, countless IOUs were burned, so the victims could not be compensated.

What's more, the situation was chaotic at that time. Although the yamen later sealed off the scene and ransacked Cui Xiaotian's home, a large amount of property was damaged or lost, so the yamen didn't get much from the ransacking.

It is said that Cui Xiaotian's real valuable property is in Daguan City, but Chen Houlu obviously doesn't want to go into that muddy water again, so he can only leave those benefits to Han Wentao and his gang.

In fact, the common people suffered a lot from it, mainly because of the IOUs. Once the IOUs were burned, they no longer had to worry about huge gambling debts. This is already a kind of compensation.

Of course, Chen Houlu was a tactful person. After listening to Xu Zhen's opinion, he immediately took out part of the proceeds from the house raid and rewarded the yamen servants and arresters in order to win people's hearts.

The yamen servants and the arresters were rewarded for their meritorious deeds, and the least one got more than 100 taels of silver. Naturally, everyone was very happy and happy.

If they encounter the same thing again in the future, they will definitely work harder.

Man is a very strange animal. Chen Houlu was already an old man, and he called to retire every day, but now he was so proud of himself after being promoted to the county magistrate, he had a new look, and he didn't even drink wolfberry tea.

The next day, he was busy moving Aunt Tai's family into the Yamen and living in Song Zhili's house, making Aunt Tai officially become the magistrate's wife.

As for his beautiful wives and concubines, in order to avoid being offended, they still live in their original places for the time being.

Chen Houlu travels back and forth every day, never tired of it.

However, although Song Zhili left, the yamen was always busy.

First, the family members of County Magistrate Tong came to identify the body.

After Chen Houlu explained the cause and effect, the family members naturally refused to let it go. They insisted on an explanation from the county government, and even threatened to go to the Songzhou government to file a complaint, etc., causing a lot of trouble.

Chen Houlu wanted to save money and avoid disaster, but Xu Zhen solved the matter with only one trick, that is, summoned most of the family members of the ghost-faced killer case, and let the family members of the victim face the family members of Tong County Magistrate.

As a result, the family members of the victim almost ate Tong County magistrate's family members raw, which scared Tong County magistrate's family members and ran away.

However, although County Magistrate Tong deserved what he deserved, his body did suffer a lot. Later, it was dug out from the soil of the ruined temple...

As soon as this matter happened, the poisoning case in Yaochang Village was finally reported to the county government.

Baozheng brought the criminal Meng Zhicai and a group of witnesses to the county government office to report the case, accompanied by the seven corpses!

Since there was no communication before, Chen Houlu did not know that this case was also related to Xu Zhen.

The poisoning of a family of seven was undoubtedly a major case, so Chen Houlu hurriedly called Xu Zhen to deal with it.

After seeing Xu Zhen, the people in the company, including Meng Zhicai himself, were all very surprised. They never thought that Xu Zhen was actually a Yamen catcher.

Of course, Meng Zhichao and his wife were the most surprised, because Xu Zhen told them before that he came to the county government to find a man named Xu Zhen for help. Unexpectedly, Xu Zhen was talking about himself.

Therefore, after handling the case and taking the criminal Meng Zhicai into custody, Xu Zhen called Meng Zhichao and his wife to the arrest room and had a detailed talk with them.

Xu Zhen said that next, he will study and investigate the mass poisoning incident in Yaochang Village three years ago.

However, this case must be kept absolutely confidential, and Meng Zhichao and his wife need to keep quiet first, and second, they must secretly collect information for Xu Zhen to prepare for future investigations.

The husband and wife naturally couldn't wish for it. They had already been ruined by the collective poisoning case, and they were tortured so much that they couldn't bear to live. Now that the opportunity finally came, they would naturally do their best.

After seeing off the couple, Xu Zhen couldn't help thinking of a person and an animal.

The person, of course, is Li Chan'er, Miss Li of the Tianxiong Escort;

I haven't seen you for a few days, and I don't know how Miss Li is doing now?
The animal was the white fox they had seen together in the woods!

To be honest, when Song Zhili revealed Cui Xiaotian's secret, Xu Zhen thought that disaster was inevitable and there was no escape.

Therefore, at that time, he also had a little suspicion, thinking that the white fox was indeed a bit ominous.

Fortunately, there was a twist in the future, and he escaped unharmed.

Now it seems that I still prefer to believe in the prophecy that Qi Yunzheng said:
But do good deeds, don't ask about the future!

Therefore, Xu Zhen secretly made up his mind that once he finished handling the business at hand, he would find a reason to go to Yaochang Village to investigate...
