Chapter 192 Achievements are clear.

Bao Zheng's face was ugly, and everyone understood what was wrong.

If these people want to send women from the south to the north, then why was Zhu Ruzi sent from Hangzhou to Tianchang County?

Sent to inquire about the ring, but there was no news.

At this time, it was getting late, Hua Lang and the others said goodbye to Bao Zheng, and the events of the last few days made them have no clue.

The cold wind is very tight, and the winter is cold.

In such a season, it is most comfortable to hide at home and enjoy the warmth, but why do these wicked people commit crimes at this time?

Yin Wuxian was silent, and when he was about to get home, he suddenly said: "Didn't Liang Duo hear Yunxi and another person say that they would arrive in another day, if you count their footsteps, will you be able to know where the place Yunxi said is, maybe their lair is there?" ”

This is something that Hua Lang didn't expect, and after Yin Wuxian said this, Hua Lang praised again and again: "What Brother Yin said is very true, early tomorrow morning, we will ask Bao Zheng to send someone to investigate." ”

The night was getting deeper, and everyone didn't say anything all night.

The next day, Hua Lang and others came to the county government and told Bao Zheng and Gongsun Ce what was not wrong, and the two of them nodded again and again after listening to it: "Okay, I'll send someone to do it." ”

As soon as one of the captors left, a servant returned, holding a dozen letters in his hand.

"My lord, the letter to the nearby states and counties has been answered." As he spoke, he handed more than a dozen reply letters to Bao Zheng, and after Bao Zheng took them, he distributed them to everyone to help check them.

After everyone finished reading it, their faces changed slightly, because the letter said that there were also women missing in their prefectures and counties, and there had been several cases in some places, and they sent people to look for them, but there were no clues at all.

Just when everyone was sorry, Hua Lang smiled faintly: "There is a letter here, but there is not a single case of missing women in his county, and his political achievements are clear!" ”

This seems to be a compliment, but when everyone hears it, they always feel weird, is Hua Lang hinting at something?

And at this time, everyone is even more curious that the county's political performance is so good that the wicked people who abducted the girl dare not go to do evil?

Bao Zheng took the letter handed by Hua Lang, and after reading it, his face changed slightly, and said, "Zhang Xian from Anxian County has such a ability?" ”

This sentence is a question, and at this time, Hua Lang smiled faintly: "There is a skill there, didn't Brother Bao find the problem here?" ”

Bao Zheng was puzzled for a while, shook his head and said, "What's the problem?" ”

"There are women missing in every state and county in the south of the Yangtze River, why is there no one in Lai'an County, isn't it that the thieves take care of Lai'an County alone?"

As soon as Hua Lang said this, Bao Zheng immediately woke up, every year the promotion of the county order depends on the political performance, if there is a missing person in the county, or the case is not solved, it will affect the promotion, but the thieves don't care if you are promoted in the county order, they just make money?

But now there is no case of missing women in Lai'an County, this is because of what?

In fact, the matter is already very clear, it must be Zhang Xian from Lai'an County who colluded with the thieves, and in order to maintain his political achievements, he did not let people do it within his jurisdiction.

In this way, they only need to investigate Lai'an County, or rather, investigate Zhang Xian.

And at this time, Gongsun Ce said: "If this matter is related to Zhang Xian, the county commander of Lai'an County, then why Zhu Ruzi died in Tianchang County, there is a reason to explain, Zhang Xian's family members Zhang Qi and Zhang Tianfu are in our Tianchang County, if Zhang Qi or Zhang Tianfu feel that Zhu Ruzi is beautiful and wants to keep it for himself, then it is completely possible for Zhang Xian to give Zhu Ruzi to them." ”

As soon as Gongsun Ce said this, everyone suddenly realized that if this was the case, then the person who killed Zhu Ruzi would be Zhang Tianfu or Zhang Qi.

Zhang Qi is only in his forties, and he should also have a demand for women, so it makes sense that he may be the murderer.

For this reason, Bao Zheng sent two arresters to secretly monitor Zhang's every move, and sent people to look around with jade rings to see if anyone had ever made such a ring.

That's a little hope.

In Lai'an County, it was inconvenient for Bao Zheng to send someone to investigate, so Hua Lang asked Wen Meng to ask her friends in the rivers and lakes to help inquire about it, to see if this Zhang Xian had any special actions, or if there were any women who entered the mansion casually.

Of course, it is necessary to investigate Zhang Xian.

For Hua Lang's request, Wen Meng couldn't refuse at all.

At noon, the person who sent Lu to inquire about the ring rushed back, and after he handed over the ring to Bao Zheng, he replied: "Back to Lord Bao, we investigated all the jade shops in Tianchang County, and they all said that they had never made such a ring, but yesterday, Zhang Tianfu came to a shop and asked them to make a ring that is exactly the same." ”

Listening to the officer's words, Bao Zheng smiled coldly and said, "It seems that this Zhang Tianfu is afraid that we will find him through the ring, so we have to prepare one to prevent us from suddenly investigating." ”

After listening to Bao Zheng's words, Hua Lang smiled faintly: "Maybe it's just that Zhang Tianfu likes this kind of ring very much, so he lost one, and it is possible to make another one, but with the ring alone, we can't do anything with him, because we can't prove that this ring is Zhang Tianfu's." ”

At this point, everyone also understands, if Zhang Tianfu insists that this ring is not his, what can Bao Zheng and them do?

No one can prove that it is not his.

Everyone is very helpless about this, they already know who the murderer is, but there is no way to move him, and the only thing they can do now is to hope to discover their crimes.

For this reason, Bao Zhengjia sent manpower to investigate whether anyone had seen Zhu Ruzi enter Zhang's mansion, or the Zhang family's real estate.

This matter is a little difficult, but it is not as difficult as Hua Lang imagined.

About late evening the servant had the results, and brought back a beggar, who was dressed in tattered clothes, and very little, and shivered from the cold.

The official said that the beggar had seen a woman enter Zhang's mansion.

Bao Zheng glanced at the beggar and asked, "Tell me about it." ”

The beggar rubbed his hands and said, "That day I was asking for food at the gate of Zhang's mansion, and I saw a man leading a woman into Zhang's mansion, the woman was beautiful, exactly the same as the portrait you offered a reward, I wanted to come to receive the reward after seeing the portrait, but when I came to the county office, your official didn't let me in, and then I thought, I don't know this woman, and I don't know what Lu Dao said when I see the adult, and I gave up after seeing it." ”

After listening to the beggar's words, Bao Zheng glanced at Hua Lang, Hua Lang smiled faintly, maybe now, they can do something to Zhang Tianfu and Zhang Qi.
