Chapter 16: Investigating the Governor's Mansion at Night

Zhou Gan hurried over with Wang Hu. Li Sanshan was lifted up by a man in green. His feet were moved in the air, and his face was full of horror. When he saw the two Zhou kings, he hurriedly shouted: "Brother Zhou, Brother Li, help!"

"What's going on?" Gong Yi asked with a frown.

"Report to Captain Gong, this kid is suspicious. He hid behind a tree and didn't know what he was doing. He caught him on the safe side." The big man bent down and said respectfully.

"He's talking nonsense! I just hid behind the tree because I wanted to shit with a stomachache. This guy lifted me up, which almost pulled me into my pants! This old saying goes, "I care about the sky, the earth, and the people shit and fart?" Li Xiaoye was very upright.

"Let him go!" Gong Yi waved his hand, and the big man bowed and obeyed.

"Although you are the masters of the old hero Zhou, the state has national laws and family rules. If you solve cases and arrest murderers, you will have laws and regulations. You are not allowed to make you three little ghosts look heroes and be heroes!" Gong Yi looked at the three of them coldly and turned around and left. It was obvious that he regarded Zhou Gan and the other two as unrealistic rookies who had just entered the world and were full of passion and unrealistic things.

It was obvious that the three of them were no longer popular here and had no effect, so they had to leave in shame.

On the way, Zhou Gan told the words of Coroner and Gong Yi just now, and both of them felt that this possibility was very great.

"If it was really as the coroner said, wouldn't it be strange that Captain Gong did this?" Wang Hu said in confusion.

"What's so strange about this? The officials will protect each other! This guy is obviously not a good bird!" Li Sanshan said angrily.

"Captain Gong is the inner thief among the officers and soldiers?" Zhou Gan said suddenly.

Wang Hu and Li Sanshan looked at each other, and Li Sanshan punched each other violently and said in surprise: "That must be the case! Gong Yi and the deputy governor of the navy, Ma San, are both inside the horse bandits in the court. I heard from Qiantang County that this Shenji Camp was entering the water route and took the land route halfway. As the deputy governor of the Qiantang Water Army, Ma San must know the time and route of the navy. Gong Yi, as the captain of the six gates, happened to help Ma San hide clues, so that the world was perfect!"

"Second, you're too presumptuous!" Wang Hu shook his head, "No matter why Ma Sangui was the deputy governor of the navy, he was accused of the Ma bandits. As the captain of Liushoumen, Gong Yi must have been directly transferred from the capital, and he has nothing to do with the Ma bandits."

"What the boss said makes sense than the second brother's." Zhou Gandao.

"What do you know about the third brother?" Li Sanshan disagreed. "The two of them must have great benefits in doing this. Maybe it's related to the brother Kong Fang who everyone loves."

"And guess what I found at the fight scene?" Li Sanshan suddenly said mysteriously.

"What?" the two asked at the same time.

Li Sanshan had an extra jade pendant in his hand. The jade pendant was made of good workmanship and texture. What's more important is that there was a big character "Zhao" on the jade pendant.

"This is what I found on a constable's body. The constable was holding the jade pendant tightly when he was about to die. It was obvious that the jade pendant was not his, but from the murderer!" Li Sanshan said with a serious face.

"This jade pendant is a clue, but this clue is too wide! There are so many people with the surname Zhao in the world!" Wang Hu frowned.

"Not only that! There were two wounds on the corpse of the detective, one on the chest and the other on the right hand, with a knife mark, which grew deeper from the right to the left. Third, you know what I will say!"

"In other words, we are going to find a left-handed swordsman named Zhao!" Zhou Gan concluded.

The three of them looked at each other, but even so, they didn't know how to investigate.

"Let me tell Senior Zhou the clues of the investigation first! He has a deep experience and must know what to do!" Wang Hu said steadily.

The three of them rushed back to the inn and told Zhou Xun about the investigation process. Zhou Xun closed his eyes and pondered for a while, and said lightly: "Since you are handed over to you, then you will find a way. I will not ask."

All three looked frowning. Now, the person who can do the best is not in charge of the matter.

"Since this old man has handed over the matter to us, we have to do it well! We can't let others underestimate our three brothers!" Li Sanshan said gritting his teeth.

Wang Hu, Li Sanshan, and Zhou Gan are all people who have been making a living since childhood. The difficult environment has long since made the three of them have a tenacious personality. Since others don’t help them, they will figure out their own ways. After discussing for a long time, the three cobblers really came up with several ideas.

"This jade pendant looks good and feels good. It should not be a bargain. Brother Li went to the nearby jewelry shop to inquire about it! My third brother and I went to the market to inquire about the life of Governor Ma." Wang Hu said to the two: "Let's get together at the time of Mao and make plans!"

As dusk approached, the three of them met again in the inn, and the three of them looked happy.

"How did you ask?" the three of them said at the same time, and they smiled again when they saw this.

"I'll talk first!" Li Sanshan robbed, "I disguised myself and went to several jewelry shops. The shopkeepers said that this craft was only Lei Mazi in Lizi Hutong. I pretended to accidentally pick up the jade pendant and asked Lei Mazi. Lei Mazi was really easy to cheat, so I easily asked me. He told me that this jade pendant was customized by Zhao Yuan, the butler of Ma San's family, the deputy governor of Qiantang Water Army, half a year ago. Because it was the best white jade, he remembered it very clearly! I said that Ma San must have a problem! What did you find out again?"

Zhou Gan and Li Sanshan looked at each other, and Zhou Gan said, "My boss and I inquired in a nearby wine shop for a long time and found that Ma San was an amazing person in Qiantang. It is said that he was originally a gangster in Qiantang County. Somehow he suddenly learned a good martial arts and swordsmanship, and then he changed his mind and helped the weak. He took several notorious sects and villages one by one. He had some reputation in both black and white. Later, he was attracted by the naval army commander Liang Guang and became his personal guard. In the next few years, he made a lot of contributions when he wiped out the water bandits and river robbers and was promoted to the position of deputy governor of the naval army. Many people said that the governor Liang Guang would succeed him as governor after he retired."

"Ma Yuan is the butler of Ma San. Ma Yuan is a bandit. Ma San cannot escape the suspicion. Let's visit the Governor's Office tonight to see what kind of person Ma San is!" Li Sanshan said with a quick look.

"Do you want to notify Senior Zhou first?" Wang Hu said seriously.

"Since the master asked us to do it ourselves, we will surprise him!" Zhou Gan also looked excited.

Wang Hu smiled bitterly. Among his three brothers, the most important thing is Li Sanshan, but if you want to be risky and exciting, it is Zhou Gan, who is the most honest person in normal times.

The moon is dark and the wind is high and the murderous night, when gentlemen appear on the beams—

Three young men wrapped in black scarves and dressed in black clothes, sneaked into the outer wall of the Governor's Mansion. One of them was timid and rode on the wall and did not dare to jump down. As a result, they were kicked off by the majestic man in black behind.

"Boss, you're too cruel~" Li Sanshan screamed.

The three of them sneaked around the corner. Li Sanshan whispered: "Although Zhao Yuan is the general manager, he is also a servant. Now the servant has no reason to live with the master. We will follow the servants and probably find Zhao Yuan's residence."

The Jade Rabbit has been promoted, and the servants of the Governor's Office are also humans. If they are humans, they need to rest. They walk to the right corridor in groups of three or three. Li Sanshan winked and followed them quietly. The servants passed by the corridor, walked around the pond, and walked down to a cross-yard in the northeast direction, and went back to their own houses to scatter birds and beasts.

The three of them searched nearby for a while, but Wang Hu was still sharp-eyed. They found a small courtyard behind the rockery that was not luxurious but had a unique flavor. If it were the family of Governor Ma, they would not live in this remote place. If it were for the servants and maids to live in, it would be too luxurious, so whoever was the owner of the small courtyard was about to come out.

All three of them were thieves for the first time. Perhaps Li Er Ge was exceptional, but the nervousness and fear were the same. Zhou Gan carefully touched the door and was surprised to find that the lock was actually open. With a slight push, the door opened. The three of them looked at each other and were surprised. Did Zhao Yuan forget to lock the door, or did he deliberately do it, or did someone get in the first place?

‘It’s all here, can’t it be scared away by this ‘empty city plan’?’ Zhou Gan gritted his teeth and walked in first. Wang Hu and Li Sanshan looked at each other and hurriedly followed in.

When he arrived at the door, Wang Hu winked at Li Sanshan. Li Sanshan knew it and took out a blower from his arms, poked a small hole in the window with his hand, and a faint white smoke drifted into the house.

This is a very strange smoke, with a tasteless color. If you trade in the black market, you will have to pay at least fifty taels of silver. However, this cigarette is matched by Li Sanshan and Li Xiaoye-

For half a year, Zhou Gan and Wang Hu were obsessed with fist and foot skills. Li Sanshan was very bored and accidentally discovered that Zhou Xun's "Lu Medical Classic" for Zhou Gan was immediately a treasure and devoted himself to studying it. Especially for this kind of lower-level drug poison smoke, especially for the author of the medical classics, Mr. Lu, who was kind-hearted, would probably vomit blood.

After waiting for a cup of tea, Li Sanshan estimated that the effect of the medicine should be exerted, so he winked at the other two and sneaked in.
