female catcher

Chapter 224 Returning to the government office
Chang Qing came a bit late that day, wandering into the government office rather listlessly.As soon as he entered the gate, the door poked his head out from the room, called him, and smiled meaningfully, "Hey! You are late today!"

"It's late." Chang Qing snorted, waved his hands and didn't respond much, and continued to walk in.The doorman said behind him: "See if your boss doesn't scold you."

Scold ass.Chang Qing muttered something in his heart, and felt that the words were wrong as he walked, so he couldn't help speeding up his pace, almost jogging to the arresting room.

As soon as I arrived at the door, I heard Xia Chu's voice saying: "Go out for a walk, come back when you get bored." She said with a smile, "That's right, you came here quite early, why didn't you see Chang Qing?"

Standing outside the door and hearing this, Chang Qing was inexplicably agitated, took a deep breath and pushed the door open, and saw Chu Xia leaning against the table at a glance.Hearing the movement, Xia Chu turned his head, and seeing him, he couldn't help laughing and said, "You're really good at stepping."

"Boss..." Chang Qing stood by the door, happy in his heart, but suddenly he didn't know what to say, his mouth that was usually slippery and babbling couldn't be controlled now, and after a moment of murmuring, he touched it awkwardly. Touching his neck, "You're back."

"Yeah." Xia Chu grabbed the saber from the table, separated from the crowd and walked in front of Chang Qing, patted his shoulder, and shook his head, "It's almost the same now, you're late, Come on, follow me out to patrol the streets."

"Hey, hey." Chang Qing responded repeatedly, went into the room, took his saber and ran out after Xia Chu.

The weather is almost early autumn, the sun is just right, and a trace of coolness can already be felt in the warm air.There were not many people on the street, and Chang Qing walked beside Xia Chu, feeling nostalgic for the past.

Xia Chu didn't speak, and Chang Qing didn't know what to say. After thinking about it for a long time, he thought of a self-consciously reliable sentence, adjusted his expression, and said, "Boss, you will ..."

"Chang Qing." Xia Chu suddenly stopped and turned his head, looking at him intently.Chang Qing was a little nervous when he saw each other, and after only looking at each other for a moment, he was defeated, lowered his head and said falteringly: "Boss, I know that I..."

He thought that Xia Chu would ask him about collecting bribes, greed for money and perverting the law, and he felt very guilty, but Xia Chu didn't pick up on this, and asked him in a slightly lower voice: "How is the situation in the government office now? Before you leave with me What's the difference?"

Chang Qing smiled wryly after hearing this, and said: "There's no difference, it's still the same. Zhong Fuming took his cronies to eat meat, and we just drank some soup. It's boring."

"You are so good at making connections, can't you knock that bell?"

"I don't intend to do that, and I don't care about it." Chang Qing curled her lips and said with some disdain, "I'm not a gentleman, but I still don't like that flattering face. Let's take a look, at worst, I won't serve you. "

Xia Chu nodded, and after a moment of silence, his expression looked a little dignified. He looked at Chang Qing and said, "Chang Qing, can I trust you?"

Only then did Chang Qing understand the meaning of Xia Chu's question just now, feeling a little lost in his heart, but said: "Boss, since you can ask me this question, it means that you still believe me. I, Chang Qing, have nothing to say After all these years of working together, I will be righteous."

Chu Xia smiled, turned around and continued walking.Chang Qing followed in a few steps and asked, "Did something serious happen?"

"Yes." Xia Chu said: "I went back to the government office this time because of the cases where officials were killed. Have you taken over all these cases?"

"No, it's not my turn." Chang Qing shook his head, "Master Yao supervised it himself. However, I participated in the city search that day. Zhong Fuming led the search and found him. Afterwards, we have nothing to do. If you want to investigate this case, Zhong Fuming probably won't let it go."

"You have to investigate whether you let it go or not. Do you know who this case was finally held on to?" Xia Chu paused, seeing Chang Qing looking at her in confusion, and then said in a low voice: "Master Jiang .”

"Master Jiang?!" Chang Qing was quite surprised, "How could it be!"

"Of course it's a huge injustice." Xia Chu gritted his teeth and said, "My lord has been imprisoned in the prison of the Ministry of Punishment. It's a matter of life and death, so I have to come back. But I can't trust the people in the government office, Chang Qing, I need your help, but this matter is very deep, and I won't force you."

Don't need Xia Chu to say that Chang Qing can actually figure it out. With Jiang Xiyuan's background, being wronged and imprisoned is definitely not something ordinary people can do.But he nodded without hesitation for a moment, as if agreeing to an ordinary thing, and said with a smile: "Is there anything to be forced or not? Boss, if you have something to do, just order it, and it will still be the same as before."

Xia Chu breathed a sigh of relief, and smiled gratefully at him, "I owe you a favor, no matter where you are in the future, I will repay you, don't worry."

"Where is this?" Chang Qing waved his hand with a smile, hesitated before saying: "I failed to be a good catcher, I think you must be disappointed in me, now I am very happy to trust me again."

"Don't talk about the past. Find a place to sit down and talk about things."

Xia Chu and Chang Qing didn't find any quiet place, but found a small tea room, and in the chaotic atmosphere, they got to know each other thoroughly and added information that they didn't know.

Chang Qing said that Zhong Fuming asked them to search for the suspect, and the policemen divided them into several directions, and it was Zhong Fuming himself who went to Shengpingfang, but he found the suspect in more than an hour.

The suspect is now also being held in the prison of the Ministry of Criminal Justice. Chang Qing said that it might not be easy to get into that place.Xia Chu smiled and didn't say yes or no, and didn't tell him that he had already gone in and walked around, only saying that there was no need to see the bandit leader named Hong Jing.

"Why?" Chang Qing asked puzzled, "That's the first witness."

"Going to him is tantamount to yelling to let everyone know that I'm investigating Mr. Jiang's case. It definitely won't work." Xia Chu took a sip of strong tea and said, "Let's not care whether he is really Hong Jing, even if Yes, it must have been arranged long ago. He is the leader of the bandit and must die. Under such circumstances, he has to throw the blame on the adults himself. He will never retract the confession. Even if the confession is retracted, no one will believe it. Why waste it? strength."

Chang Qing thought about it, so he nodded.

"If you want to poke the loopholes in his confession, you must start from the side. As for the Shihua Pavilion..., it's okay to ask Jiuxiang. I didn't see Brother Liu today. It might be appropriate for him to go, but I still can't show up. Don't show up."

But Chang Qing waved his hand, "Now the Planting Flower House has been sealed, and Jiuxiang and Miss Liuying, who is hiding the suspect, are now locked up in the prison of the government office. Asking them is like revealing. Mr. Liu, I seem to be in the past two days. I haven't even seen it, and judging from the current situation, he has such a close relationship with Mr. Jiang, and I'm afraid he can't escape the relationship."

When Chu Xia heard about this situation, he was heartbroken.

Judging from the search of the Planting Flower Hall, it is obvious that Zhong Fuming was ordered, or that he is one of the forces at all, and he is still the Judicial Counselor of the government office, who is directly affiliated with Xia Chu. boss.It is really difficult to bypass him and inquire about the situation in the government office.

After thinking for a while, Xia Chu said to Chang Qing: "Well, I remember that Yang Yuzuo has a good relationship with you. If possible, you should look for him in private first. Can he remember the condition of the officials in Xijing and the corpse of the coachman?" Let me explain it to you in as much detail as possible." Xia Chu said to Chang Qing, "Don't ask too obvious."

"No problem, don't worry." Chang Qing patted his chest lightly, "I'm good at this kind of thing, I'll invite Yang Yuzuo to drink today, and I'll give you a letter tomorrow."

In the teahouse, I asked Xiaoer to go across the street to buy two bowls of noodles. After the two made do with it, Chang Qing went back to the government office first.Xia Chu came out of the teahouse and walked around the street, found a secluded alley and got in, stood with his arms folded against the wall, and said in a low voice, "Brother Min, Brother Min? Please come out for a while."

After a while, Min Feng came out from the depths of the alley.The footsteps are extremely light, and the sense of presence is extremely weak. Even in such broad daylight, if he hadn't asked something, Xia Chu would not have noticed.It's a realm that even cats can't reach.

Xia Chu looked at him with some admiration, and said respectfully: "There is something I want to ask Brother Min, I don't know if it's convenient or not."

"Go ahead."

"I want you to beat Zhong Fuming up."

Min Feng raised his eyebrows, "Sudden death?"

"No, no, no, it's fine if you beat him until you can't get out of bed for half a month." After thinking about it for a while, Xia Chu added: "Help me rob him of his purse again, it looks like he was robbed. it is good."

Zhong Fuming's presence in the government office was too much of a hindrance, it prevented her from looking through the files, and it was too threatening to the two witnesses, Jiuxiang and Liu Ying.She remembered how Li Erping died, so she had to guard against it.

Sending him off is impossible with Xia Chu's position. Although the method of beating him up hurts a bit, it is guaranteed to be effective immediately.For unrighteous people, it is natural to use inhumane methods, who would not do black hands.

"The girl is very straightforward." Min Feng said.

Xia Chu chuckled, didn't think about praise or criticism for this 'direct' comment, and asked again: "Brother Min, do you know who is taking Sun Youliang back to Beijing? I want to ask about his death."

"The escorted soldiers may still be in Heyuan."

"Heyuan? Is it the place where the crime happened? If I want to see it, do you think I can see it?"

Min Feng glanced at the sky and nodded, "It's not far. I'll be there in an hour and a half. If everything goes well, I should be able to get back before the city gate closes. Miss, are you going now?"

Being so resolute, Xia Chu was stunned for a moment, "What if it doesn't go well? What if I can't come back?"

"It's just a city wall." Min Feng said flatly, "I won't miss the robbery."

Tsk, this person with good kung fu is really not an ordinary person.Xia Chu lightly snapped his fingers, "Since that's the case, don't be too late, your lord will be in danger every day in prison, just go now."

"Can the girl ride a horse?"

Xia Chu froze, remembering the tragic experience of riding a horse to manage Yangcheng last time, although his heart was a little drummed, he still gritted his teeth and said: "Yes! I have to go even if I tie myself to the horse."

Min Feng smiled silently, "Jiang Xiyuan is so lucky, wait for me outside Pingguang Gate." After speaking, he jumped up and disappeared.

Xia Chu froze in place, smacked on Min Feng's words, and felt that the amount of information contained in these few words was really great.
