Chapter 146 Documents
As it was getting dark, they decided to let the county magistrate go to the ground first. The bandits had indeed been doing evil in the vicinity for many years and were familiar with the terrain, so there was no rush to hunt them down.

It was a good thing that Xiao Yiran didn't recognize Cui Xizuo, otherwise some things would be difficult to handle later, so Xiao Qishu also pretended not to recognize him and everyone dispersed.

After returning to the small courtyard, Song Qingyou looked very excited, "Look at what I said! I didn't expect that we are really acquaintances, and God really helped me. Fang Cheng will not die this time!"

After the excitement, he started to have trouble again. Song Qingyou sat in the small courtyard and frowned.

After going through so many things, the tacit understanding between the two of them is getting higher and higher. At this time, Xiao Qishu saw that Song Qingyou was silent and said: "I was thinking that although the murder weapon was found out that the murder weapon was an official knife, the case itself is still the case." In a dead end - with so many official knives, we still can't put the suspicion on Fang Cheng, right?"

I have to admit that Song Qingyou found this tacit understanding of meeting a close friend very useful.

Xiao Qishu continued: "The official sword can be regarded as physical evidence. What is missing now is personal evidence. Maybe we can start with that document."

Suddenly, Cheng Yuxi actually came to the small courtyard, her hair was messed up and her clothes were torn, she was very embarrassed.

"What's wrong with you?" Song Qingyou asked as he took off his outer robe and put it on Cheng Yuxi, helping him into the room.

Xiao Qishu poured a glass of water and handed it to her. After taking two sips, he finally stabilized, and his eyes turned red before he opened his mouth.

Such a scene made Song Qingyou think of the worst possibility. He took a deep breath and comforted him: "Don't be afraid, I'm very safe here. You can tell me if you have anything. If it's inconvenient, you can let Xiao Qishu out."

Xiao Qishu also understood when he heard the words, and got up to go out.

Cheng Yuxi also understood that Song Qingyou had misunderstood something, and said: "He didn't do anything to me, I was too scared to do this."

"Huh~" Song Qingyou breathed a sigh of relief.

Cheng Yuxi began to explain.

It turned out that since the imperial envoy arrived in Kushui County, Fangcheng had frequently gone to Xiao Yiran's residence, staying for a long time each time. During this period, people were guarding the door, and no one, including Xiao Ningning, could get close.

However, Xu was frightened today. After returning home, Xiao Yiran began to feel unwell and asked Dr. Sun to see a doctor. After that, he took a pair of calming medicine, but Fang Cheng didn't bring anyone with him when he came.

When Cheng Yuxi cooked the medicine and was about to send it over, she heard the two talking inside. She wanted to leave, but she vaguely heard something about the county magistrate's death, so she stopped and listened. This hearing made her feel shocked.

In surprise, she knocked over the medicine bowl in her hand, which alarmed the two men in the room. There was no way they could outrun the two men, so she hid in a blind spot and led the two anxious men to search outside before daring to run out.

It was dark and I was afraid, and I didn't dare to take the main road all the way here, so I became the same as when I came here.

It was indeed similar to what Song Qingyou had guessed. After Fang Cheng had a falling out with his master, he had no brains, and Xiao Yiran, who had studied and was an uncle, became his life-saving straw. When he learned that the imperial envoy was coming, he immediately Find Xiao Yiran and tell everything.

Xiao Yiran's original intention was to blame Song Qingyou and Xiao Qishu for the crime of beheading. However, the previous notice was still posted at the city gate. The weight of the imperial envoy's words became clearer when he came to Fangcheng, so the two Once combined, the crime was put on the bandits.

Seeing that he had said everything he had heard, but the two people in front of him were not surprised at all, Cheng Yuxi asked in disbelief: "You have known this for a long time?"

Xiao Qishu nodded, "I have already suspected it, and you have confirmed it."

"What are you going to do?"

Song Qingyou's eyes lit up suddenly, and he said, "Let's play Infernal Affairs!"

Xiao Qishu was confused when he heard this, and Cheng Yuxi's pupils were indeed trembling.

"I'll have to rely on you from now on!" Song Qingyou patted Cheng Yuxi on the shoulder, "When Fang Cheng tried to frame us, he brought back a document, claiming to be an eyewitness, but we don't know if it's true or not. If we can find him, the truth will be revealed Then you will understand.”

"You mean you want me to go back undercover and continue to eavesdrop on their conversation?" Cheng Yuxi also understood immediately.

"Yes. But you must be careful. Since Fang Cheng killed the county magistrate to gain power, he may very well do something dangerous to you in order to protect himself. This is for you." Song Qingyou said and handed a small bag of powder to you. To Cheng Yuxi, "This is some self-defense powder I specially prepared. It can paralyze the enemy immediately. You can use it if you are in danger."

Cheng Yuxi finally went back, but Xiao Yiran was already waiting.

"Brother Yiran, what are you doing here so late?"

"Yuxi, I have said more than once that Song Qingyou is not a good person! Why are you disobedient?"

"I..." Cheng Yuxi was not sure whether Xiao Yiran really knew or was trying to blast her, so she pretended to be stupid and said, "Brother Yiran, what do you mean?"

"You should reflect on it here!"

After Xiao Yiran finished speaking, he locked the door from the outside.

It's just that Song Qingyou always likes to take the initiative. Now that she knows that the document is a breakthrough, she must take the initiative. She tells Cui Xizhuo about the document and reminds him to monitor Fangcheng's movements.

Sure enough, the next day, a soldier reported that Fang Cheng had gone to a Zhuangzi outside the city in the middle of the night.

Cui Xizhuo led people to surround Zhuangzi quietly first, and then went to the roof with Xiao Qishu.

"Master Fang!" The clerk was extremely happy when he saw Fang Cheng coming, because Fang Cheng promised him to give him a sum of money tonight and send him off.

On the roof, Cui Xizuo asked with his eyes, Xiao Qishu nodded, and then he made a gesture to a corner, and the soldiers quietly surrounded Zhuangzi.

Inside the house, Fang Cheng took out a banknote and handed it to the clerk, "Here is 500 taels, married and had children."

500 taels was a huge amount of money for a poor clerk. After receiving it, all his thoughts were on the bank note, and he didn't even notice the dagger flickering behind him.

The document was an important witness. Fortunately, Xiao Qishu had quick eyesight and quick hands, so he picked up a piece of broken tile and hit Fang Cheng on the wrist.

bang-

The dagger was knocked down, and the clerk found out that Fang Cheng wanted to kill someone, so he ran out.

At this time, Fang Cheng also realized that there was a problem. As long as the document is dead, there is no proof of death, so how can he be spared?He picked up the dagger on the ground and chased after him.

"Help! Murder!!" The clerk shouted in horror as he rushed out.

"Go!"

Cui Xizuo, who had been waiting for a long time, gave the order.

The quiet Zhuangzi was illuminated by the fire as bright as day, and Fangcheng was surrounded by soldiers.

"What are you going to do! I am also an official of the imperial court after all!" Fang Cheng was still holding on to the last bit of luck.

Xiao Qishu and Cui Xizhuo fell from the roof, while Song Qingyou came out from behind the soldiers, looking at Fang Cheng, who was struggling, with sympathy.

Cui Xizhuo looked at the terrified document, and said, "If you are willing to be a witness, I can consider giving you a lighter sentence."
