Fortunate Young Gentleman

The old beggar is well-informed and sells martial arts secrets like cabbage. There must be martial arts in this world that he does not know, but judging from his casual expression just now, he should be able to do voodoo.

But the old beggar didn't want to teach him, and he couldn't force him to teach.

For now, the thing contained in the envelope he is holding is more urgent than learning the art of Gu.

He has already read the contents of the envelope, including several backlogged cases in the county government in the past year. The ins and outs of each case, who the murderer is, where he is now, and even the motive for the murder are analyzed in great detail.

No wonder Su Mei said that she didn't know her details. She could find out these things at will. Her power in Beijing was unimaginable.

Tangning couldn't give these things directly to his father-in-law. He couldn't find a perfect reason. He couldn't say that Su Mei gave them to him. He couldn't betray his teammates.

Regardless of Su Mei's identity, it does not affect their simple relationship as sleeping partners.

The files on several cases together filled a whole box. Tang Ning asked Peng Chen to send two government officials to move all the files over.

I don't know if it was intentional by County Magistrate Zhao, but the order of these files was disrupted. Just sorting them out and classifying them was not an easy task. Before Tang Ning asked them to move them over, he first asked them to sort out the files from the same case. The dossier of information is all brought together.

What happened next was much simpler for him.

After all, it is much simpler and easier to associate the result with the process after you already know it, than to infer a result that you don't know exists based on the process.

Tangning spent two hours sorting out all the cases into a convincing context. If you follow these seemingly unrelated clues, you will get unexpected results.

Xiaoxiao knocked on the door, walked in, and said, "Brother, it's time to eat."

Tangning looked at her, thought for a moment, and said, "Xiaoxiao, come here, brother, I want to tell you something..."

After eating, Tang Ning would walk around the yard to eat. Xiaoxiao walked up to the old beggar and said, "Master, I want to learn the art of Gu."

"Poison..." the old beggar thought for a while and said, "It's not good for girls to deal with those poisonous insects all day long, but... there is no harm in learning the poison. The Liang Kingdom has already perished like this. After many years, there are still disciples of Wan Gu Sect here, so we have to guard against them.”

He muttered a few words to himself, nodded and said, "Master will teach you tomorrow."

Tangning put all the files back into the box. The old beggar walked in and said, "Give me another jar of wine."

Tangning said without raising her head, "No more."

"It's gone!" The old beggar was shocked: "Aren't there still dozens of altars?"

Tang Ning glanced at him and said, "You don't know how to bewitch, why can't I lose my wine?"

Although the old beggar has very high martial arts skills, there is one thing he needs to understand.

The wine he regards as his lifeblood is his, and his only precious apprentice is also his. He eats his food, drinks his wine, and abducts his sister. As a result, every time when something comes to him, he either pretends to be stupid or just pretends to be stupid. Refuse, this is not how you behave.

The old beggar showed a smile on his face and said: "Isn't it just a voodoo technique? It's easy to discuss. It's easy to discuss. You take out the wine first..."

…

At Ping'an County Government Office, Zhong Mingli looked at Tang Ning and asked in surprise, "So fast?"

Tang Ning nodded and said, "I read the files overnight and found some doubts. If I follow these doubts and investigate them, I might find something."

Zhong Mingli carefully looked at the piece of paper handed over by Tang Ning, shook his head and said, "These are just your guesses and cannot be used as evidence. If you have to string them together, they are too blunt and a bit unbelievable."

Tangning smiled and said, "When we eliminate all possibilities, no matter how unbelievable the remaining one is, it is a fact."

He looked at the problem from God's perspective. After all, he knew all the context of the case and who the murderer was. However, he could not tell his father-in-law clearly about these things and could only let him investigate on his own.

Among these cases, two were massacres, and one of them involved more than twenty lives. It once caused huge waves in the capital. If these cases could be solved, it would be a real political achievement.

Zhong Mingli nodded and said, "I will ask Peng Chen to investigate secretly."

Tangning thought for a moment and then added, "There is one more thing that my father-in-law can take a look at."

He placed a piece of paper on the table and walked out slowly.

Zhong Mingli picked up the piece of paper and looked at it, feeling slightly startled.

What is written on this piece of paper is evidence that Zhao County Cheng accepted bribes and bent the law for personal gain. Although it is only one-sided, it is not difficult to confirm it by following the clues on the paper.

However, since Prime Minister Zhao dared to accept it, it meant that he was doing it secretly. Where did Tang Ning get this piece of paper?

He no longer wanted to find the reason for what happened to Tangning.

He thought for a moment, walked outside the hall, and said, "Go to the county magistrate's office."

County Chengyamen, Houyamen.

County Magistrate Zhao and Lieutenant Zheng were playing chess leisurely. Lieutenant Zheng smiled and said, "Your Majesty, this move is really good. Magistrate Zhong can't even hope to handle any of those cases. When the time comes, the Criminal Department will There is something to write about in the book. Magistrate Zhong failed the assessment in his first year of office. How can he hold his head high in this county government? "

Zhaoxian Cheng played the game of chess leisurely and said: "If Zhong Mingli wants power, I will give it to him. He has no ability to control it himself, but I can't blame him."

He pinched a chess piece, and as soon as it fell, an official came to report it. Magistrate Zhong came and was waiting for him in the front office.

"Now you know how to find me?" Zhao County Prime Minister said without raising his head: "Just say that I am unwell and I haven't seen you."

Not long after, the yamen servant walked to the front yamen, bowed and said: "Your Excellency, County Magistrate, County Magistrate Zhao said he is not feeling well..."

Zhong Mingli glanced in the direction of the back office and said, "In that case, let Mr. Zhao have a good rest."

The evidence of Zhao Xian Cheng's corruption was casually placed in an envelope by Su Mei, who was considered the culprit in those cases. This piece of paper was enough to remove him from the position of Xian Cheng.

There were many twists and turns in these cases. To be on the safe side, Tang Ning asked for three days' leave from the Hanlin Academy. Peng Chen would report to him on the progress of the case at any time.

In the Hanlin Academy, Zhao Man once again walked out of a room on duty somewhere, grabbed a random person and asked, "Where is Tangning?"

The man immediately said cautiously: "Back to the princess, Tang Xiuzhuan is ill and is recuperating at home. He will not come to the courtyard in the past few days."

"He's sick..." Zhao Man looked a little disappointed. He walked out of the Hanlin Academy and walked aimlessly in the palace. After a while, he came to a palace.

Seeing Emperor Chen walking out of the palace, she was startled and asked, "Is your father leaving the palace again today?"

Emperor Chen nodded. Since the last time he visited the Hanlin Academy, he had become interested in various government offices in Beijing. If he went to see them with his own eyes, he would always find something that he could not see in the palace.

Zhao Man looked at him and begged: "Father, please take me with you this time. I haven't left the palace for a long time."

Emperor Chen looked at her and said, "Father is not going out to play in the palace. Man'er should stay in the palace and don't mess around."

"I'm not messing around..."

Emperor Chen shook his head and said: "You are a princess who has not yet left the palace. It is unbecoming to leave the palace casually. If the imperial censor sees it..."

"Yes, yes, everything my father said is right!"

Zhao Man looked at him, blinked, and said, "But I don't want them to see it, and besides, my father can't always wear this dress when he goes out of the palace. Those people can see it from a distance. We have been prepared for a long time. My father should change into a set of ordinary clothes, and this is called leaving the palace incognito..."

Chen Huang thought about it and felt that what she said made sense. He nodded, looked at her and said, "I will only promise you this time, and you will not mess around in the future."

"Hey, my father is the best!"

…

On the bustling streets of the capital, the young master held a folding fan and looked around, his smart eyes full of brilliance.

A slightly fat man looked at a middle-aged man and asked respectfully: "Master, where are we going?"

The middle-aged man thought for a moment and said, "Let's go to Ping'an County Office first."
