Will this fellow also write their names? Thinking of this, his eyes darken for a while - it is still unknown whether his name will remain in the history, but he will be disgraced with the king for generations to come.

The person in the living room was called, looked up at Shen Tang, then looked at a few colleagues, turned around with a palm-sized letter, and continued to write and draw, not giving Shen Tang any face.

Just when several officials wanted to roll up their sleeves and beat up the hostess and force him to rewrite the content, someone came from the prison.

It turned out that Qi Shan and Captain Zhe Chong came to pick them up.

Qi Shan sighed and said: "My lord..."

Shen Tang raised his hand: "This matter has nothing to do with me."

Lieutenant Zhe Chong immediately knelt down half-kneeling, lowered his head and clasped his fists: "... At the end of the day, my general is not doing well, please punish me and punish me."

Shen Tang: "You should take care of Zhe Chong Mansion."

Lieutenant Zhe Chong lowered his head even further: "I will obey your orders."

"Ji Shou, what did you find here?" Several groups of people entered from different places, and Kang Shi was on the other side.

After leaving the prison, we met at a temporary stop.

Well, the staff is quite neat.

Kang Shi: "I sent people to check the nearby white goods shops. During the period when ghosts stole food, people rarely worshiped their ancestors, so paper money should not be used much. After searching everywhere, there was indeed a shop that sold a lot. Paper money, the person who buys paper money is the government official."

Shen Tang chuckled: "Does the government official buy so much paper money?"

It's really not concealed at all.

Kang Shi said: "The news I heard was that Si Yan's family asked him to dream, so he bought a lot of paper money and burned it to the other party."

Shen Tang asked casually: "What is Si Yan's name?"

Kang Shi checked carefully: "Niu Zhong."

"Niu Zhong? That's a pretty decent name." Because the level of education was so low, common people's names were basically chosen randomly.

"It is reported that his original name was Niu Er, but he donated money to find a job as a janitor, so he changed his name to Niu Zhong."

Shen Tang stroked the teacup: "Niu Er?"

The words of the previous broker could not help but come to mind.

"Did you meet any brokers at the inn?"

"Broker? None."

Shen Tang became more and more certain that this broker was cheating on him.

"Does Niu Er have a crazy woman?"

"How do you know, my lord? This Niu Er does have a mother-in-law. Neighbors say that this man is unconscious and goes crazy and hurts people everywhere. He bites people when he sees them. One time, he bit off a person's ear. Niu Er's mother-in-law then The daughter-in-law is locked up at home to take care of her... These are the words of the neighbors, but in-depth investigation revealed that the testimony was somewhat inconsistent with the reality. I judged that this woman was not crazy or stupid before." Kang Shi continued, "A neighbor once said this. Women's hands are slender and white, unlike those of farmers..."

It's not easy to maintain a pair of slender, white and flawless hands.

This means that this person basically does not work.

Pamper yourself and be cared for everywhere.

and--

"Niu Er is the official secretary of the government. Not everyone can sit in this position. Where did he get the money to get the job?" Shen Tang pointed at the desk, fearing that the money was not clean, "Ji Shou, Apart from this clue, are there any others?"

Kang Shi said: "Niu Er is dead."

Shen Tang was not surprised: "It's normal to die."

Are you leaving such obvious clues unprocessed, waiting to be caught?

Shen Tang asked again: "Have they checked the mass graves?"

If those ghosts are disguised by living people, there must be places to hide people in the mass graves. No matter how hard it is, you can still find traces of a large number of living people's activities, and maybe there will be clues. Just be afraid, those ghosts are disguised by the spirit of words, that's really The wind passed without a trace, without any clues.

Kang Shi said: "I checked it, and there's no problem."

No problem, just no clues.

"The Tianquan Guard secretly interviewed many people who saw ghosts that day, and most of the testimonies were correct. Those ghosts did not look like living people. One child took advantage of the elders in the family not paying attention, ran into the group of ghosts, and walked straight through these ghosts. My body was broken and I came back with a high fever."

Shen Tang thought for a while and looked towards Gu Chi.

I didn't take Gu Chi with me when I went to Huachuan today. Gu Chi went to do another thing. To put it more simply, it was to dig a grave. What he was digging was the grave that the broker was muttering about in the middle of the night.

Gu Chi said: "There is a woman in the tomb. Judging from the condition of the bones, she should be around seventeen or eighteen years old. There are cracks in varying degrees on the occipital bone, temporal bone, scapula, clavicle, and ribs. There is also a knife on the lumbar vertebrae. It was obviously someone who killed her. Murder."

The woman's leg bones also suffered blunt force blows.

Regarding the investigation, I probably don’t understand why Tang Mei took action.

At first, Tangmei sent seven soldiers and horses to cooperate with the Criminal Department to arrest him, but she later changed her mind temporarily because this matter was serious.

First of all, the supervisory censor died.

Do you know how serious it is to kill an imperial envoy?

Secondly, Kunzhou is bordering the Northern Desert. It took Yuanhuang three years for Tangmei to completely take over the entire territory. Before that, she only controlled part of it (especially the border forces bordering the Northern Desert). If there is a war with the Northern Desert, food supplies will be in Kunzhou. Part of Kunzhou is also a neighbor of Wu Xian.

It is the most ideal result for the grain to be embezzled by officials. Otherwise, no matter which neighbor takes it away, the problem will be very, very serious.

Tangmei is now conducting a private investigation to confirm what the situation is.

For pure corruption, just do it boldly and do everything according to the list. But if forces from other countries infiltrate, they will be alerted.

PS: Everyone knows about Tang Mei’s luck, so...┓(`)┏
