Demon detective

Chapter 166 Bet
The majestic Grand View City.

This city is not only the location of the Daguan county government office, but also the state capital of Songzhou, which is similar to the provincial capital of Xu Zhen's previous life.

It is conceivable that this city must be the leading large city in Songzhou.

Looking from a distance, it stands majestically, and the city is high into the clouds, which is magnificent.

And after entering the city, there are tall buildings and buildings row upon row, everywhere is crowded with people, and it is a bustling scene.

Xu Zhen had never traveled far before, and this was the first time he came to such a bustling big city. Under the warm spring sun, he felt a little dizzy.

Daguan City has been an important place in the Central Plains since ancient times. Because it is less than a hundred miles away from the holy capital Xuanmiao City, its military strategic significance is self-evident.

Because of this, the city wall buildings in this city are extraordinarily tall and strong, and the buildings in the city seem to cater to the magnificent momentum of the city wall, and most of them are tall and majestic, with a very grand style.

Looking around, it is full of high-ranking families, with many terraces and pavilions, and the sun is covered by thousands of clouds.

Xu Zhen felt that this Grand View City truly highlighted the word "big", and it was full of atmosphere.

Of course, Xu Zhen came here with an important mission. As soon as he entered the city, he rushed to a certain place in the south of the city non-stop, and came to the gate of a very wealthy house with a high plaque.

Knocking on the door, Xu Zhen immediately handed in the card in his arms.

Then, he waited at the door for about a stick of incense, and someone inside invited him into the house.

Xu Zhen went in alone and told Shen Yu, Meng Zhixiao and Qin Yin to wait outside.

After Xu Zhen entered, Shen Yu raised her head, only to see two large characters written on the plaque: "Ning Mansion".

It turned out that the owner of this mansion was named Ning Zangfeng, a military cavalry captain in Daguan County.

Although the captain of the military cavalry is only a sixth-rank official, on the same level as the county guard, he is the highest military officer at the county level. His army is in charge of the defense of the entire Daguan City, and his real power far exceeds that of the county guard.

The reason why Xu Zhen came to find this military cavalry captain at the first stop was because this person had another identity, that is, Wei Yulang's second son-in-law.

Coincidentally, Ning Zangfeng just came home from get off work, and before he could change his clothes, he was still wearing Bi Fangjia, a symbol of military power and status in the Daxuan Dynasty army.

Bifang is a legendary ancient beast, representing loyalty and obedience.

Ning Zangfeng was very similar to Wei Yulang when he was young. He was born like a tree, gentle and gentle. If he didn't wear armor, it would be hard to imagine him as an officer.

After the meeting, Xu Zhen hurriedly reported his family name, but did not overemphasize his relationship with Wei Yulang.

Because he is Wei Yulang's sworn brother, while Ning Zangfeng is his son-in-law, and his son-in-law seems to be only ten years older than his sworn brother.

If I ask others for help, if I put too much emphasis on this relationship, I will naturally feel like I am pretending to be a senior.

"Since it was recommended by Father-in-law, there is no need to be restrained," Ning Zangfeng has quite a lot of experience in the officialdom, and his words are neither far nor near, just right, "If you have anything to do, just say it!"

Xu Zhen didn't need to exchange pleasantries, so he made it clear that he came here.

"Oh?" Upon hearing that Xu Zhen came here for Fang Wubing's case, Ning Zangfeng opened his eyes wide and said, "So, you are the nephew of the cell boss? Zhang... Zhang..."

"Zhang Lin." Xu Zhen hurriedly said his uncle's name.

"Yes," Ning Zangfeng nodded, "I've been busy with this case for the past few days! The whole city is under martial law, and house-to-house searches are underway. Sigh, it's not good for anyone to escape, but such a terrible guy escaped."

"Captain Ning," Xu Zhen cupped his hands and said, "My uncle Zhang Lin must have been framed. This case is really suspicious!"

"Yes," who knows, Ning Zangfeng nodded without thinking, "I know, he must have been framed. But there is no way, if Fang Wubing cannot be caught, there must be an explanation.

"Hey," Ning Zang pouted at Xu Zhen, "you asked me to save your uncle, didn't you? That's impossible!"

Oh……

Hearing this, Xu Zhen couldn't help frowning.

It seems that there are no fools in these officials, and they all know that Uncle Zhang Lin was wronged.

But they still turned a blind eye, which is enough to explain the complexity of this case.

"Don't worry, Captain Ning." Xu Zhen took out two banknotes from his sleeve, handed them over naturally, and said with a smile, "I'm not here to save people this time, and I won't force others into difficulties."

"Oh?" Ning Zangfeng took a look, but seeing that it was a 1000 tael bank note, he asked curiously, "If that's the case, then what do you mean by that?"

"I came in a hurry, and I didn't prepare a gift." Xu Zhen put the silver ticket away and took it back, "I hope the captain will accept this kindness."

"You're being polite," Ning Zangfeng looked at the two bank notes, and didn't reach out to take them, but looked at Xu Zhen and said, "With the relationship with Yue Zhang, there is absolutely no need for it."

"Since you don't need it, then..." Xu Zhen pointed to the silver ticket and said, "I use this little silver to buy some news from you, what do you think?"

"Oh?" Ning Zangfeng smiled, obviously curious, "You want to buy news from me? What kind of news, about Fang Wubing's case?"

Seeing Xu Zhen nodding his head, Ning Zangfeng smiled again: "Could it be... that if I tell you the news, you will be able to save your uncle?"

"What if..." Xu Zhen said, "I can catch Fang Wubing?"

Hearing this, Ning Zangfeng gradually put away his smile and said, "Fang Wubing disappeared out of thin air! In your uncle's house, the stolen goods from six years ago were found. What does that mean?"

"Explanation," Xu Zhen said, "Fang Wubing's accomplices are here to save him!"

"That's right?" Ning Zangfeng said, "Since there are accomplices, it means that Fang Wubing has already fled thousands of miles away, how do you catch him?"

"Brother Wei said in his letter," Xu Zhen said, "I'm a police officer!"

"Hehe..." Ning Zangfeng laughed loudly, "I know you're a police officer, so what? People from the God Detective Department have been investigating for two days. If you can catch your uncle, your uncle will have been released long ago!"

"Then..." Xu Zhen also smiled, "Let's make a bet?"

"Bet?" Ning Zangfeng smiled, "What is the bet?"

"I lost," Xu Zhen said, "I'll give you another 5000 taels of silver!"

"Then... I lost?" Ning Zangfeng asked.

"Then I will give you all the credit for catching Fang Wubing!" Xu Zhen replied without hesitation.

"..." Ning Zangfeng stopped talking, and asked after a moment of analysis, "In this way, I will make sure that I won't lose money. What kind of bet is this?"

"So..." Xu Zhen knocked on the 2000 taels of silver, "Please, Captain, please tell me the whole incident!"

"Oh..." Ning Zangfeng finally realized that Xu Zhen was trading with him.

Since you can benefit from winning or losing this gamble, why not cooperate with Xu Zhen and provide him with information about the case?
Ning Zangfeng laughed again, and said in his heart: This little catcher is really interesting...
