"What, Jingzhao Mansion pulled the Criminal Department to investigate together, and the Criminal Department sent Zhu Yuanfang and Pan Zishou to assist in handling the case?" Zheng Peng said with a look of surprise.

Recently, he has been busy with road repairs, Zheng Peng has not been in the court, because of the accident in the braised meat shop, people pay attention to the latest news, and when he heard Cui Er talk about Zhu Yuanfang, his heart moved, and he couldn't help but ask.

"Yuan Fang, what do you think?" This sentence exploded the circle of friends for a period of time in later generations, and all kinds of stalks and emojis played that sentence badly, as soon as he heard Yuan Fang, Zheng Peng immediately became interested.

"Yes, uncle" Cui Er explained: "Fang Kaiwang, the secretary of the Criminal Department, is very old, and it seems that his body is not good, and he spends more than half of the month recuperating at home, and most of the affairs of the Criminal Department are handled by Pan Zishou and Zhu Yuanfang, it is said that the next Shangshu of the Criminal Department is very likely to be produced between the two, Fang Shangshu's move is very good, he can stay out of the matter, and give the two subordinates a chance to compete fairly, no one can say anything." ”

Zheng Peng was not interested in who was the secretary of the Criminal Department, and asked with some curiosity: "This Zhu Yuanfang is a good investigator of the Criminal Department?" ”

"There are a number of good hands in the Criminal Department, there is a serial murder case that has been sealed for fifteen years, uncle, think about it, fifteen years have passed, many things have been things and people, and there are no key witnesses, and Zhu Yuanfang is just peeling off the cocoon, finding a breakthrough point from the thousands of clues, and solving the unsolved mystery step by step, his investigation method can be called a classic, and his case has been compiled into the criminal department's unsolved case record, and it has become a must-read case for arrest."

"Di Renjie, the former imperial master, is also a good investigator, right?" Zheng Peng continued to ask.

"Di Taishi has successively served as the judge of Bianzhou, the law of Bingzhou, the Dali Temple, the history of the servant, the Duzhi Langzhong, the history of the Ningzhou thorn, the winter official squire, the governor of Jiangnan, the right of Wenchang, the history of the Yuzhou thorn, the history of the Fuzhou thorn, the Sima of Luozhou, etc., known for his meticulous thinking and not afraid of the powerful, and he is naturally a good hand at investigating cases."

"This Zhu Yuanfang, is he a disciple of Master Di?"

"Disciple? I haven't heard that Di Taishi has accepted disciples, and Di Tai died in the first year of the Tianshun Holy Empress Jiushi (700 AD), the age difference between the two sides is very large, Di Taishi has been dead for more than 30 years, and I believe that the fate of master and apprentice is very low. Cui Er said with a puzzled face.

Zheng Peng said with some reluctance: "Has Master Di ever accepted a disciple named Yuan Fang? ”

"I haven't heard of it, maybe there is, maybe I haven't, but I can confirm one thing, even if there is, it's not very famous, otherwise the old slave will definitely remember." Cui Er said confidently.

If there is a person with a head and a face, Cui Er must have a memory, for a housekeeper trained by a wealthy family, remembering people is a basic skill, and some people with good memory can even remember the genealogy of those important people within three generations.

Zheng Peng was slightly disappointed in his heart, it seems that the Yuan Fang in later films and television is just a successful character created by the screenwriter.

Cui Er hesitated for a moment and asked cautiously, "Zhu Shilang is an old friend of my uncle?" ”

"No, don't think too much" Zheng Peng shook his head and said: "I just think this name is a little special, I don't have a relationship, hehe, I didn't expect Li Chaoyin's reaction to be so big, and he stabbed this matter to the emperor, at least in the near future, don't worry about someone secretly unfavorable to him." ”

Without waiting for Cui Er to answer, Zheng Peng added: "What has Mrs. Cui been busy with lately? ”

Jingguang Mansion and the Criminal Department have joined forces, which can be said to be a strong alliance, so many resources have been invested in it, Zheng Peng has nothing to worry about, and now I want to see how Guo Ketang responds.

Talent, a reward order, all of a sudden the name of the white jade pig fragrant braised pork, than Zheng Peng's words at the poetry meeting back then are also a step higher, Zheng Peng can't help but give a praise, as long as this matter is clear, it is only easy to recover the loss of the white jade pig fragrant braised pork.

"Women don't let the eyebrows, amazing" Cui Er sighed and said: "In the past few days, Mrs. Cui has sent people to secretly buy a large number of eighteen flavors of fragrant braised pork, the left hand is cheap in, the right hand is cheap, in the name of planting good karma and bearing good fruits, in Chang'an four gates of the big porridge stall, to help the homeless, begging and peddlers and pawns, every time it is thick porridge with braised meat, after each beggar also divided a small package of eighteen flavors of braised pork, for a time Chang'an is full of beggars who eat eighteen flavors of braised pork, as if eighteen flavors of braised meat are only for inferior people, cheap slaves to eat, As a result, the image of the eighteen-flavored braised pork plummeted. ”

In ancient times, there was a difference between respect and inferiority, and people with status intentionally or unintentionally distinguished from inferior people, and the establishment of this distinction included all aspects of clothing, food, housing and transportation, that is, people with status in later generations in order to show their personality, as much as possible not to hit the shirt, Chang'an Those who have status and status, seeing so many inferior people eating eighteen flavors of fragrant braised pork, it must be difficult to mention the interest in eating the same kind of braised pork.

Before getting married, Guo Ketang, a weak woman, was able to manage a family's business, relying not only on luck, but also on her talent in business, and her self-confidence was based on her own strength.

The opponent is intent on accumulating smears, so that Guo Ketang's carefully launched white jade pig fragrant braised pork is crumbling, and it is estimated that others will have been in chaos for a long time, but Guo Ketang was unexpectedly calm, first closed down to cooperate with the investigation, and the reward order not only justified the name of the white jade pig fragrant braised pork, but also played a role in promotion; A large number of competitors' eighteen-spiced braised pork were given to beggars, which invisibly devalued the opponent's lip service image, and showed everyone's demeanor.

If the bounty order is self-help, then belittling the opponent's reputation, is this revenge? Is Guo Ketang confirming that Guo Tongxiong is behind it?

Zheng Peng waved his hand and said: "Don't worry about this, anyway, when the sky falls, Cui Xiyi will carry it first, in the end, Guo Tongxiong is also a clown who jumps off the beam, and it is not worth mentioning." ”

Some people are happy and some are sad, when Zheng Peng was glad that he had an excellent partner, Guo Tongxiong was furious, and the usually favored Xi Liu'er and Xi Rong'er were beaten and were so frightened that they hid far away, and the four precious treasures of the study were also swept to the ground by him from the bookcase.

"It's hateful, it's killable, Guo Ketang's little slut is like this, the wasp tail needle, the most poisonous woman's heart, it's Guo Ketang's little slut." Guo Tongxiong said with red eyes.

Today, I went to question Guo Ketang, why did he target Guo's industry in your hometown and make such a ruthless hand to his own people, Guo Ketang did not deny that he sent meat, but said that he was doing good deeds and accumulating virtue, and the expenses were to patronize his own family and send money to the door, and he also sarcastically said that Guo Tongxiong didn't have to look at other people's faces if he had the capital, there was no tea, and Guo Ketang drove out before the chair was hot, so angry that he almost didn't grit his teeth.

Even if he is unhappy, Guo Tongxiong can't do anything about Guo Ketang, he is just a low-status and cold-eyed lowly, and Guo Ketang's wife became the general's wife by virtue of her husband, and at the beginning of the year, she was also granted an edict and became a high-ranking county monarch.

After venting, Guo Tongxiong also calmed down a little, glanced at his henchman Xichuan who was hiding far away, and said angrily: "What are you doing, you can't eat it, and you won't clean it up." ”

"Yes, yes, yes, Lang Jun, the little ones will be cleaned up." Hosokawa was startled and hurriedly cleaned up the things scattered on the ground.

When he was cleaning up, Guo Tongxiong suddenly asked: "Hosokawa, tell me, is there any way to reverse the decline in front of you?" ”

Sometimes the bystanders are clear, the authorities are confused, and Hosokawa usually has a lot of ghost ideas, so maybe there is a good idea.

"Lang Jun, this..."

"Don't ramble, if you have anything to say, no matter what you say, I don't blame you."

Got Guo Tongxiong's promise, Hosokawa analyzed: "According to the small foolish opinion, the discount promotion will continue, it is necessary to gather the guests, as for the dispute between the eighteen flavors and the white jade pig, it mainly depends on how the Jingzhao Mansion is judged, it is not an exaggeration to say that this judgment can affect the victory or defeat of the two, Jingzhao Mansion, we can't do it, it's best to find a person who makes the energy, if the prince can make a word, everything will be settled." ”

That's right, I almost forgot the prince, Guo Tongxiong suddenly became happy: there are so many tributes in front, and there will be a steady stream of tributes in the back, your hometown Guo is a cash cow in the prince's mansion, presumably the prince won't really care, besides, didn't the prince threaten to teach Zheng Peng a lesson, just let him make a move.

Just when Guo Tongxiong wanted to get into the wrong, suddenly there was a "boom", and he felt that the earth trembled slightly, which suddenly interrupted Guo Tongxiong's train of thought, Guo Tongxiong said impatiently: "There is no wind and no clouds, what kind of dry day thunder scares me." ”

Hosokawa shook his head and said, "Lang-kun, this doesn't look like the sound of thunder, it seems to be..."

"Looks like something, say." Guo Tongxiong said impatiently.

“.... It is very similar to the sound of Zheng Peng blowing up the Black Mountain Pass with a firearm, strange, that sound seems to have come from the Prince's Mansion. ”
