"The Liu family in Longcheng...what is hidden under this calm lake...it's really strange..."

After a while, Ouyang Rong shook his head slowly and forcefully, as if he wanted to throw away these doubts.

He came back to his senses, turned around and asked a certain head catcher in blue:

"Rokuro, how are you doing there?"

Yan Liulang took a step forward and said:

"The missing female ear worker's name is Zhang Qian. It's easy to find her now that she has a name. I took people to look through the files in Hucao's warehouse and finally found Zhang Qian's family in Nanfang, Cuiying Street in the south of the city.

"In addition to a seventy-year-old mother who is still alive, her family also has two brothers. Her eldest brother is married and has a decent family background, while the second brother is proficient in food, drink, prostitution and gambling, and often relies on family support.

"In order to prevent being discovered by interested parties, I went to contact them privately in regular clothes, and then asked in a circumstantial manner. Zhang Qian's two brothers were very wary of us, and they kept a tight tone and never mentioned the disappearance of my sister.

.

"Later, our people inquired from nearby neighbors and learned that not long ago, on the days when Zhang Qian disappeared, someone from Guyue Jianpu Workshop came to Zhang's house.

"We also found out that these days, Zhang Qian's second brother suddenly started spending money lavishly in the gambling house in the south of the city."

Yan Liulang paused for a moment, smiled at Ouyang Rong and said:

"Ming Mansion, it seems that the Liu Family Sword Shop has given you a lot."

Ouyang Rong looked at the smile on Yan Liulang's face, seemed to understand, nodded and asked: "What next."

"Then we found a breakthrough from Zhang's mother. Zhang Qian's two brothers may be satisfied with the Liu family's hush money, but Zhang's mother is not. She wants to find out the disappearance of her young daughter and find her daughter."

Yan Liulang smiled slightly:

"It's just that before this, no one paid attention to the request of a seventy-year-old woman, and she was not the one who made the final decision in the family. But luckily she met us and the Ming Dynasty.

"Mingfu, what do you say? What should we do now?"

The blue-robed head catcher stared at the young county magistrate with intense eyes, somewhat eager to try.

Ouyang Rong turned back to his seat, leaned back in his chair, and spread his hands flat on the table. Feeling the coolness of the nanmu table, he took a deep breath and nodded slowly:

"Missing, what a disappearance, no evidence of death? No, life or death is uncertain. If the Longcheng County Government receives a report, of course it will investigate and give an explanation to the Zhang family. It is fair to see the person alive and the body after death.

"However, if you want to conduct a large-scale investigation, justice alone is not enough, you must also have power."

Ouyang Rong leaned back in his chair, raised his head and looked up at the wooden ceiling, introducing something about to happen with a serious expression:

"Jiangnan Road Supervisor Mr. Shen inspected Longcheng and was concerned about the local flood situation. He also attended the grand ribbon-cutting ceremony of Di Gong Gate. Several county magistrates, powerful gentry, and fellow villagers gathered at the ribbon-cutting ceremony, and it was a joyous occasion.

"Suddenly, some good people knelt down and cried out for injustice. They fell in front of Mr. Shen, who loved the people like his own son. With tears in his eyes, he accused the Liu family of smuggling female workers from the sword shop. Later, some onlookers accused the bully Liu family of setting up a porridge shed and nursery for profit. For many years,

Harmful to one side, taking advantage of the floods to annex fertile farmland, the evil abounds.

"Lord Shen and other officials in Jiangzhou naturally would not sit idly by. They ordered the Longcheng County Government to temporarily detain the three Liu brothers on the spot, and immediately searched the Guyue Sword Shop thoroughly to find the missing female worker. Unfortunately, the body seemed to have been destroyed long ago, and the search was fruitless.

, but new evidence of the crime was discovered one after another, which was conclusive. The whole Liu family dropped their defense, the three brothers were all imprisoned, and the Longcheng County government raided the Liu family. The people in the county rushed to tell the story, and everyone was happy...

"Rokuro, Ashan, what do you think of this script?"

Yan Liulang and Liu Ashan looked at each other and nodded vigorously together: "This is how it should be!"

Ouyang Rong opened his eyes, but compared to Yan and Liu who were looking happy, his brows were still slightly furrowed.

When Yan Liulang saw this, his smile dropped and he couldn't help asking curiously:

"What is Mingfu worried about?"

"It doesn't matter."

Ouyang Rong temporarily put his mind to rest, shook his head, turned around and said:

"Before Mr. Shen and others from Jiangzhou arrive, there are two things that need to be done.

"Liu Lang, in the case of the missing female worker, you also have to bring Zhang Qian's second brother over to avenge his sister. Zhang's mother alone may not be able to do enough.

"I have just learned that in addition to the supervisor Shen, the Jiangzhou Shangguan who came to Di Gong Gate to cut the ribbon this time is also the newly appointed Jiangzhou Governor Wang.

"This Shangguan did not invite me, and Mr. Shen's reply did not mention that he invited me. His position is unclear. He may be neutral, but he does not rule out making things difficult for us. Therefore, all our operations must be reasonable and reasonable.

According to it, it is fair and open."

"Yes, Mingfu!"

Yan Liulang thought for a while and said seriously:

"There are many ways to deal with the little gangsters who eat, drink, whore and gamble. I'll think of a solution when I get back. It's not too difficult."

“So best.”

Ouyang Rong turned his head again and told Liu Ashan:

"Ah Shan, the annexation of farmland after previous disasters, the enrichment and harm to the people in the porridge sheds and nurseries, the bullying of men and women by the third son of the Liu family, and all kinds of evidence, on the basis of what I have prepared before, I went back to check and fill in the gaps, and share with me

Just as I said to Rokuro just now, make sure the evidence is conclusive and fair, making it difficult for people to find fault. Even if the crime is small, it can make the Liu family peel off as long as it is put on the scale."

"Yes, sir."

Ouyang Rong slapped the table with his palms and said loudly:

"This time, taking advantage of the opportunity of the Jiangzhou officials coming here to inspect, we will have a good accounting with the Liu family.

"The case of the missing female ear worker is an appetizer to test the attitude of the superiors. With Master Shen's cooperation and the great righteousness on our side, as long as we can successfully search the Guyue Sword Shop, the rest of the matter will be ready and the other evidence will be ready."

Throw it out and you can't stop it!

"Besides...who knows if Guyue Sword Shop can find something that surprises us."

He paused and chuckled:

"I hope everything goes well. The next thing will be troublesome for Rokuro and Ashan."

"yes."

Yan and Liu were ready to retreat.

"Wait... Ah Shan stays." Ouyang Rong suddenly raised his head and shouted: "There is one more thing."

"Sir, please speak."

"Last time I asked you to clean up the 'rats' in the county government office. How did you do?"

Liu Ashan said seriously:

"Sir, almost all the Liu family's informants we found have been removed, but according to the master's advice, we only left one official named Yuan. Last time when the master made the decision to stage the Zhiyi Canal, this person had tipped off the information.

But... right now this person probably thinks we haven't discovered him yet."

Ouyang Rong said calmly: "Assign him to the county government's gate repair team, and then give him some authority to be a manager or something."

Liu Ashan frowned slightly: "Master, what are you going to do..."

Ouyang Rong did not answer, but continued: "Send someone to keep an eye on him in the next few days, and notify me as soon as possible if there is any movement."

"Yes, sir."

Afterwards, Ouyang Rong gave a few more instructions, and Yan and Liu retreated.

Only the young magistrate was left sitting alone in the hall.

He leaned on the chair with both hands, closed his eyes and muttered:
Chapter completed!
