Da Song Private Investigator

Chapter 311 Missing Wife.

Bao Zheng didn't know how to answer Fu Wei's question.

Could it be that to tell the truth, saying that he is not corrupt and does not want to make money, so the fiscal revenue is lower than that of other counties?

This is obviously not acceptable, even if it is an unwritten rule to collect money, this layer of window paper is not something that Bao Zheng can pierce.At this time, he was just a small county magistrate, he was soft-spoken, and if he pierced the window paper, he would only become a target for everyone to deal with. Although he, Bao Zheng, was upright and honest, he was not a fool, and he knew how to assess the situation.

Thinking this way, Bao Zheng quickly said: "All the taxes of the lower officials are collected in accordance with the express regulations of the court. I dare not ask for a penny more, and I dare not ask for a penny less. And this official is even more so. There is no such thing as taking the tax revenue into his own pocket, so if Mr. Fu thinks there is something wrong with these financial revenues, he can investigate."

After Bao Zheng said these words, cold sweat broke out on his forehead, but he also knew that he was upright and upright, this Fu Wei couldn't grasp the handle, and he didn't dare to do anything to him.

It's just that after Bao Zheng said these words, the father-in-law snorted coldly again, and looked at Bao Zheng sideways, but he didn't dare to look at Bao Zheng for a long time now, because Bao Zheng's black face gave him a kind of Feeling flustered.

After hearing this, Fu Wei nodded slightly: "Well, I will investigate clearly. If Tianchang County only has these incomes, I will report them truthfully."

In this way, Fu Wei asked some other things, and then moved into the post house in Tianchang County under the arrangement of Bao Zheng.

The post house was about one mile away from the county government office, not very far. After Fu Wei's men and horses were arranged properly, Bao Zheng breathed a sigh of relief. He never thought that being an official would have to endure so many dangers.

But at this time, the sky was already dark and the temperature had dropped. Bao Zheng, Hua Lang and others were having a drink in the county government office.

These dishes are the home cooking of Bao Zheng and Gongsun Ce. After all, the salary of a small county magistrate is not very high, and Bao Zheng sometimes has to help the people, so all the money is even less. Although Gongsun Ce is in the county However, he does not have a name on the household registration of the court, that is to say, his salary is all provided by Bao Zheng.

These two people who are so poor can only eat these things. Of course, their lives are not really so poor.

When everyone was drinking and chatting together, Hua Lang looked at Bao Zheng and said, "Brother Bao, that father-in-law seems to be looking for trouble, we can't be careless!"

Bao Zheng also saw this, but he sighed and said: "He is a prison officer, I can't do anything to him, let's take every step and count!"

There was a bit of helplessness in these words, everyone drank a lot of wine, but did not feel comfortable, and finally stopped drinking more and went back in various ways.

When going back, Hua Lang thought for Bao Zheng's sake, and hoped that there would be no accidents in Tianchang County in the past few days. If something happened, it would be difficult to deal with.

But things were not as Hwarang had imagined. Early the next morning, when Hwarang and the others got up and came to the county government office, they saw someone beating drums outside the door. They were really in a hurry.

After a few times of majestic promotion, the yamen servant brought the drummer to the court. Hua Lang and others stood in the hall, while Eunuch Zhang and Fu Wei watched Bao Zheng's trial from the back of the hall. A way to save political achievements.

But after bringing the drummer into the hall, Bao Zheng immediately asked: "What grievances do you have, report it quickly!"

The drummer was about 40 years old, he was very tall and tall, and he knelt down and said: "Returning to the adults, the name of the villain is Yuan Ru, and he lives in Beijie. Because the family has a lot of spare money, and there are dozens Mu Liangtian, so everyone calls me Yuan Yuanwai, and I came to report the case because yesterday, my wife went out to play and has not come back, and the villain is really worried, so I came here to report the case."

After Yuan Ru said this, Bao Zheng immediately asked: "Where is your wife going to play, can someone accompany you?"

Yuan Ru quickly replied: "I went to play at the creek in the outskirts of the city. She said there could be a place to escape the summer heat, and she was accompanied by a maid, but now my wife and the maid are gone."

After hearing this, everyone felt that this case was so similar to the kidnapping of a woman in Jianghai they encountered in Yangzhou City. Could it be that there is another sensual madman making trouble in Tianchang County?

In this way, wouldn't the women in Tianchang County put everyone in danger?

However, before the investigation is clear, one must not blindly draw conclusions, so at this time, Bao Zheng continued to ask: "Can you send someone to look for it?"

Yuan Ru nodded: "I found it. My wife didn't come home last night, so I sent someone to look for it, but after searching all night, there was still no clue. In the end, I was really helpless, so I came to report the case and asked adults to help find it."

After hearing this, Bao Zheng already understood a little bit, so he asked Yuan Ru to draw the portraits of his wife and maid, and then posted rewards in various places in Tianchang County. Besides, he asked Yuan Ru to lead everyone to the suburbs Take a look at the scene.

Yuan Ru led them away from the county government first, while Bao Zheng rushed to catch up with them after saying goodbye to Eunuch Zhang and Fu Wei.

A group of people waited to find clues at the creek where Mrs. Yuan was playing, but they did not find any clues after searching for a long time.

This place is indeed very shady and cool, and it is a good place to escape the heat, but this place also seems a little too wide. It is not easy to find a person. There are many footprints by the creek, but they are very messy, which shows that there are many people in this place. People have been here, but these can't prove anything.

At noon, a yamen servant found an earring by a stream. Seeing this, everyone ran over quickly. Hwarang checked the place carefully and found traces of a scuffle by the stream, and there were Seeing the traces of falling into the water, Hwarang immediately asked someone to salvage it, but at this time, Bao Zheng showed the earring to Yuan Ru and asked if it belonged to his wife?

After Yuan Ru looked at it carefully, he shook his head and said, "This is not my wife's earring, but I seem to have seen it there..." At this point, Yuan Ru suddenly shouted excitedly: "By the way, this is the earrings of my wife's side. Maid's earrings."

The maid's earrings were found here, which meant that Mrs. Yuan had indeed been to this place.

Bao Zheng pondered for a long time, and at this moment, a yamen servant shouted loudly in the creek: "My lord, I found it."

Everyone looked around, and saw a yamen servant groping in the water with his hands, and then suddenly pulled out a piece of clothing. After the clothes were pulled out, they found a person inside the clothes. It was a woman, who looked quite young. Yuan Ru After seeing the woman, she shouted again and again: "That's my wife's maid, Xiaomei, she... how did she die here, then... my wife, she..."
