Chapter 192 Clear performance.

Bao Zheng's expression was ugly, and everyone understood why.

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

Sent to inquire about the clues of the ring, but there is no news.

But at this time, it was getting late, Hwarang and others bid farewell to Bao Zheng, the events of the past few days left them clueless.

The wind is very tight and the winter is cold.

In this 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 Wucuo remained 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 a day? Where is the place Xi said, maybe their lair is there!"

This was something Hua Lang hadn't thought of. After Yin Wucuo said this, Hua Lang praised again and again: "Brother Yin's words are true. Tomorrow morning, we will ask Bao Zheng to send someone to investigate!"

The night was getting dark, and everyone had nothing to say all night.

The next day, Hua Lang and others came to the county government office and told Bao Zheng and Gongsun Ce what Yin Wucuo had said. They both nodded after listening, "Okay, I'll send someone to do it right away!"

As soon as a catcher left, a yamen servant came back with a dozen letters in his hand.

"My lord, I have answered the letters to the nearby states and counties." The yamen servant said, and handed over a dozen replies to Bao Zheng. After Bao Zheng took them, he distributed them to everyone for help.

After everyone read it, their faces changed slightly, because the letter said that women in their prefectures and counties also disappeared. In some places, there have been several cases. They sent people to search, but there was no clue.

Just when everyone felt sorry for it, Hwarang smiled lightly: "Here is a letter, but there is no case of missing a woman in his county, and his political achievements are clear!"

These words seem to be compliments, but everyone hears it, and it always feels weird. Is this what Hwarang is implying?

But at this time, what everyone is even more curious about is that the county's political performance is so good that the villain who kidnapped the girl dare not go to do evil.

Bao Zheng took the letter from Hualang, his expression changed slightly after reading it, and he said, "Zhang Xian from Lai'an County has such abilities!"

This sentence is a question, but at this time, Hua Lang smiled lightly: "There is something there, so Brother Bao didn't find the problem here!"

Bao Zheng was puzzled for a moment, shook his head and said, "What's the problem!"

"Women are missing in every prefecture and county in the south of the Yangtze River. Why is there none in Lai'an County? Could it be that the thieves took care of Lai'an County alone!"

When Hua Lang said this, Bao Zheng immediately came to his senses. Every year, the promotion of the county magistrate depends on his political performance. If there are missing people in the county, or the case is not solved, it will affect the promotion. As for promotion, they only care about making money.

But now there is no case of missing women in Lai'an County. Why?

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

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

At this time, Gongsun Ce said: "If this matter is related to Zhang Xian, the magistrate of Lai'an County, then there is a reason why Zhu Ruzi died in Tianchang County. Zhang Xian's family members Zhang Qi and Zhang Tianfu are all in our Tianchang County. County, if Zhang Qiyi or Zhang Tianfu think Zhu Ruzi is beautiful and want to keep it for themselves, it is entirely possible for Zhang Xian to give Zhu Ruzi to them!"

When Gongsun Ce said this, everyone suddenly realized that if this was the case, then the person who killed Zhu Ruzi was either Zhang Tianfu or Zhang Qi.

Zhang Qi is only in his 40s, and he should also have needs for women, so it makes perfect sense that he might be the murderer.

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

This can be regarded as a little hope.

It was inconvenient for Bao Zheng to send someone to investigate the matter in Laian County, so Hua Lang asked Wen Meng to ask her friends in the Jianghu to help inquire, to see if Zhang Xian had any special actions, or if there were any women who came into the mansion casually.

Of course, it is necessary to investigate Zhang Xian.

Wen Meng couldn't refuse Hwarang's request at all.

At noon, the person who sent out to inquire about the ring came back, and after handing the ring to Bao Zheng, he replied: "Master Bao, we have investigated all the jade shops in Tianchang County, and they all said that they have never made such a ring." , but yesterday, Zhang Tianfu came to a shop and asked them to make one exactly like this ring!"

Hearing what the yamen servant said, Bao Zheng sneered and said, "It seems that Zhang Tianfu is afraid that we will find him through the ring, so he has to prepare one to prevent us from investigating suddenly!"

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

This point, everyone also understands, if Zhang Tianfu insists that this ring is not his, what can Bao Zheng and the others do.

No one can prove it, so it's not his.

Everyone was very helpless about this. They knew who the murderer was, but they couldn't move him. The only thing they could do now was to hope to find out their crimes.

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

This matter is somewhat difficult, but it is not as difficult as Hwarang and the others imagined.

Around evening, the yamen servant had the result, and brought back a beggar who was wearing ragged clothes and very little, shivering from the cold.

The yamen servant 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: "I was begging for food at the gate of Zhang's mansion that day, and saw a man leading a woman into Zhang's mansion. The woman was beautiful, exactly the same as the portrait you offered for reward. I saw After the portrait, I wanted to come to receive the reward, but when I came to the county government office, your government officials refused to let me in, and then I thought, I don’t know this woman, and I don’t know what to say when I see you, so I gave up in the end!”

After hearing what the beggar said, Bao Zheng glanced at Hua Lang, who smiled faintly, maybe now, they can do something to Zhang Tianfu and Zhang Qi,
