I heard that this was not the first time they had competed, and each time, the cost was in the thousands. Compared with others, Chu Xian was busy all morning, and only spent dozens of taels of silver, which is simply not worth mentioning.

Chu Xian came out this time, and the money he brought was divided into two parts, one part was in charge of Wu Ping, and the other part was handed over to Qi Chengxiang, and the current situation is that Qi Chengxiang's silver here has been lost in less than half a day, but fortunately, there are still some left on Wu Ping's side, not to mention that Chu Xian and they can still live in the official residence of the city government, and the Fengcheng city government spends money on three meals a day, so Chu Xian is not panicked at all.

When he returned to the official residence, Wu Ping had been waiting for Chu Xian for a long time, and when he saw Chu Xian coming, Wu Ping hurriedly stepped forward and said, "My lord, that Lord Fang agreed, but he said that he would bring a few adults from Fengcheng with him, you see......"

Chu Xian said with a smile: "We are here to make friends with the officials of Fengcheng, of course there is no problem, by the way, you go and tell Lord Fang, just say that in the evening, I will invite them to drink in the Hazy Moon Pavilion, remember, it is the Hazy Moon Pavilion." ”

Wu Ping nodded and wrote it down, and hurriedly went to do something.

Chu Xian took Qi Chengxiang to the official residence to mix rice first, and then went directly to the city government without resting.

The Ya Si is responsible for the trial of the case that occurred in Fengcheng and the preservation of the file, and Chu Xian wants to see the file of another case, that is, a tragic case that happened in Fengcheng a year ago.

What the inspection department has in the hands of the department, only knows that the person who was destroyed is a powerful businessman in Fengcheng, and in the end, the case has not been found out, and it is not closed, but because it is not an official who died, only the Fengcheng Yasi is responsible for the investigation, and it has not been stabbed to a higher level.

But because Wang Yushi, who was killed before, had mentioned it in the reported letter, Chu Xian had to figure out this case of destroying the door.

Now for Chu Xian, it is just fishing in troubled waters, and there is always no harm in casting a few more nets.

......

The officials in the Fengcheng Yamen saw that the penman of the Inspection Department came to check the files, and they were carrying the imperial history warrant, where did they dare to stop it, besides, what the other party wanted to check were some ordinary files, difficult cases that had been sealed for a long time.

This kind of case, even if you look at it, it's nothing.

It's just that Chu Xian was disappointed, because he found that what he was looking for, the file of the tragedy that destroyed the door a year ago, was actually burned in a water fire a few months ago.

"My lord, this thing is too coincidental, right?" Qi Chengxiang whispered at this time.

He could think of it, how could Chu Xian not think of it.

It's just that the fire was an accident, and there is no way to say anything, let alone think that it was intentional, because not only did a file be destroyed, but the file on the same wooden shelf at that time was also burned, which is all on record, Chu Xian just felt that something was wrong, and there was no way.

It is equivalent to that this clue is broken like this, it was originally a headless unsolved case, and the truth was not found, and now the file has been burned again, do you want to go to the arrest and push the official who investigated the case at that time, and ask for details one by one?

As soon as it was a waste of time, Chu Xian knew that he, as a pioneer, only had a few days at most to investigate the case, and when Master Cui came, there would be a result at that time.

Because this time the Criminal Department also intervened, it is not easy for the Criminal Department to mention the Criminal Division, if the other party finds out the truth first, Lord Cui's official position will not be stable, and his own pen officer will also be unstable, not to mention, Chu Xian has a dream experience, and there is a Shenhai Memory Library, if this can't be done first, then Chu Xian himself feels shameless.

In addition, even if you ask the person who handled the case at the time, if someone deliberately destroyed the evidence in the fire, maybe some of these people have already been bought, and if you ask them, you will only be misled.

The most important thing is that he was originally just flipping through some files, but it was nothing, and if he re-examined the case with great fanfare, it would inevitably attract the attention of some people.

This is also what Chu Xian does not want to see.

But without the dossier, Chu Xian has no choice?

Not necessarily.

At that moment, Chu Xian took Qi Chengxiang away, went to the streets and alleys, and casually found a passer-by to ask, after all, it is impossible to hide the tragedy of a family of more than a dozen people being killed, and it must be circulated in the mouths of the people, and they may not know the details of inquiring, but it should not be a problem to ask where the destroyed door lives.

As expected, as soon as he inquired, the passer-by pointed out a direction to Chu Xian, and at the same time said enthusiastically: "Everyone knows about this matter, the two of you can tell you about it all day long if you ask a person from our Fengcheng, by the way, I heard that the house of the Ding family has become a ghost house, it's not that I am talking nonsense, it is really someone who has seen a ghost in it, almost scared to death, and came back with a serious illness, and finally invited the master in the Buddhist temple to save a life, and after that, no one dared to approach, and it was abandoned long ago." ”

What this man said was the same as the real thing, but it was obviously hearsay, and it was mostly fictional.

Chu Xian knew the location at this time, and he also knew that the family that was destroyed was surnamed Ding, and in addition, there were some untrustworthy things, even if he listened to it, Chu Xian would not take it seriously.

When I arrived at Ding's house, I looked at the past, and it was really deserted, to say that this house is not small, it should have been very lively before, but now, with the death of all the family, this place has also become a fierce place in the mouth of the people of Fengcheng.

On the dilapidated gate, there is a seal of the government.

But can this be difficult to find Chu Xian and Qi Chengxiang, two masters of circumventing the wall?

The two of them still climbed over the wall, and their skills were so skillful that they were breathtaking. When I entered the courtyard, I found that the weeds were two or three feet high, and some of the houses even had their doors down, full of cobwebs, and in this courtyard, all I could feel was silence and ruin.

"Here, there is really some yin. Chu Xian muttered, Qi Chengxiang's expression remained unchanged next to him, he naturally knew that even if there were really ghosts, or even evil ghosts, there was no need to be afraid.

First, it is now a blue sky and white sun, and secondly, there is Chu Xian.

Chu Xian is a canonized official of the Holy Dynasty who left his name in the official canon, Zheng Jiupin, under the blessing of the official canon, what demons and monsters are retreated, and the official talisman itself is also a powerful holy weapon, so why be afraid of ghosts?

At this moment, a yin wind suddenly blew from behind from nowhere, and Chu Xian and Qi Chengxiang both shrank their necks, because the wind was too cold, even the two of them who were strong in blood and qi felt like falling into an ice cave.

Chu Xian looked up at the sky at this time, and he didn't know when it was already dark clouds.

"My lord, something is wrong. Qi Chengxiang also noticed the sky above his head, but he remembered that just before they came in over the wall just now, the sky was still very good, why did it change so quickly.

Chu Xian was very calm, and said to Qi Chengxiang: "It's nothing, maybe it will be sunny again in a while." ”
