Da Song Private Investigator

Chapter 036 Revenge is expected.

What Hwarang said made sense. From the confessions of these people, if you want to prove whether what they said is true, you need to send someone to investigate. After the investigation, it will naturally become clear whether they are the murderers.

Just now Bao Zheng was eager to know who the murderer was, so that he forgot to get evidence of Feng Ji's words. Now, after hearing what Hwarang said, he suddenly realized, and immediately sent someone to Dong Cheng's rice store to ask for evidence.

And when the yamen servant went to Dong Cheng's rice store, the yamen servant who was sent to verify whether what Ma Xiaoliu said was true ran out in a hurry.

Seeing this, Bao Zheng immediately asked, "How is the investigation going?"

The yamen servant cupped his hands and said, "My lord, the investigation has been clear. On the morning Dong Cheng was killed, Ma Xiaoliu had been waiting at home. His neighbors can testify. In the afternoon, Ma Xiaoliu went drinking with some of his friends. It’s true, I didn’t come back until late at night.”

After listening to the servant's words, Bao Zheng looked at Hua Lang and said, "It seems that Ma Xiaoliu is not the murderer!"

Hwarang nodded: "That's very good, Brother Bao has ruled out another suspect."

Hua Lang thinks it's good, but Bao Zheng doesn't think it's good. If these suspects are excluded, then who is the murderer? Isn't he going to look for clues again?

Even so, Bao Zheng did not dare to be sloppy. This is all about human life. He will never let the innocent suffer. Even if the suspects are eliminated and the murderer is not found, he will not take the innocent. People take the blame.

This is a matter of principle, Bao Zheng sighed, somewhat worried.

In a blink of an eye, it was already noon, and everyone was tired after a whole morning, so Bao Zheng asked his follower Bao Xiaofei to tell the chef of the county government to cook some good dishes.

Seeing this, Hualang quickly stopped him and said: "Brother Bao is too polite to do this. Brother Bao came to our Tianchang County to serve as the magistrate. It stands to reason that we should take care of Brother Bao. We have been busy with the case for the past few days. I forgot about the matter, I think it’s noon today, how about we go to Juxianglou?”

After listening to Hua Lang's words, Bao Zheng hesitated. If he was a friend, it would be fine to go to Juxianglou for dinner, but with his current status, he would inevitably be suspected if he went to Juxianglou for dinner with Hualang and others. , thinking that he has received some benefits from Hwarang and wants to do things for him.

Seeing Bao Zheng's hesitant expression, everyone felt a little disappointed for a moment. Seeing this, Hua Lang smiled lightly and said, "Brother Bao, are you worried about being gossip?"

Bao Zheng's worry was cleared by this statement, Bao Zheng nodded again and again: "Now that I am in this status, I'm afraid it's inappropriate to go to dinner with you. Corrupt officials, don’t dare to come here to seek justice in the future.”

After learning about Bao Zheng's worries, Hua Lang quickly laughed and said, "Brother Bao is worrying too much. An official is not judged by what he eats or who he eats with, but by how much he has done for the people of the world. Things, how many people have been wronged for, if Brother Bao can defy the power and do more practical things for the people of Tianchang County, who will doubt you because you have a meal with me?"

What Hua Lang said was reasonable and very convincing. After listening to it, Yin Wucuo and Wen Meng felt at ease, and after Bao Zheng listened to it, he suddenly realized, saying: "Brother Hua What you said is very true, I will go to Juxianglou when I wait here."

After taking off their official uniforms, they went to Juxianglou.

At noon, the sun was scorching hot, and there were not many pedestrians on the street, but there were many guests in the Juxiang Building. The weather was too hot, and anyone who had a little money didn't really want to cook at home. What a pleasure to eat in Xianglou, as soon as you pay for it, Xiao Er immediately brings the prepared meals, which saves trouble. Moreover, the food in Juxianglou is not very expensive, which is very suitable for ordinary people to eat.

After the group of them entered the Juxiang Building, there were no empty seats inside, but luckily, the guests in the first one were about to leave after eating. After the waiter wiped the table, he hurriedly invited Hua Lang and the others to sit down.

After sitting down, Bao Zheng looked at Juxianglou, where the business was booming, and said to everyone: "Such a good business, the food here must be very good!"

Hwarang has only been here twice, so he doesn't know much about it, but Wen Meng nodded repeatedly and said: "It's natural, the masters of Juxianglou are all chefs, and the meals they make are very delicious, and Juxianglou The price of the food is not very expensive, so the business is naturally good."

Having said that, the meals were brought up, all of which are very suitable for summer, so that people won't sweat profusely and lose the joy of eating.

Just when everyone was about to start eating, Ye Xing stopped suddenly, because he saw a person standing outside the Juxiang Building, that person looked into the Juxiang Building from time to time, with an anxious expression on his face, as if there was something important things.

And Hwarang knew that person, so he naturally knew what he wanted to do.

Hwarang got up in a hurry and said to everyone: "I'll come as soon as I go." Saying that, Hwarang left his seat and came outside Juxiang Building. The person outside the building was about to leave when Hwarang suddenly shouted: "Wu Jun."

Wu Jun turned around suddenly and saw Hua Lang, he rushed over and said: "Brother Hua, I am in better health today, I went out for a walk, but I heard that Zhou Ping was dismissed by the court, and the new county magistrate is called Bao Zheng, right? ?” Wu Jun said, and looked into the Juxiang Tower with his eyes.

Seeing this, Hua Lang nodded again and again: "You're right, there is indeed a new county magistrate in Tianchang County, I'll take you to see him right now, and your grievances will definitely be cleared."

After speaking, Hua Lang led Wu Jun to the Juxiang Building, and told Bao Zheng all about Wu Jun's grievances. After Bao Zheng listened, he didn't drop the chopsticks in his hand for a long time. After a long time, he was very angry. He said angrily: "This white man is so bold that he killed someone because of a piece of clothing, and he was protecting that week's officials. It is simply unforgivable."

After Wu Jun listened to Bao Zheng's words, he quickly knelt down for him and asked Bao Zheng to avenge him. Bao Zheng helped Wu Jun up and said, "Don't worry, my lord will definitely avenge you."

Seeing that Bao Zheng agreed to avenge himself, Wu Jun was very happy in his heart, and besides the joy, he was even more grateful to Hua Lang. Last time, Hua Lang helped him go home and persuaded him to endure first. Now It was Hwarang who led him to meet Bao Zheng again, and all of this should be attributed to Hwarang.

Wu Jun thought in his heart, if Bao Zheng could really avenge his father, he would definitely repay Hua Lang in his life, even with his life.

After such instructions, Wu Jun left Juxianglou in a hurry, went home to prepare the pleadings, so that he could go to the county government to submit the pleadings.
