Speaking of this, Li Man certainly could not offend Tang Fan too much, so he had to take him to Zhang's residence before his lifetime and let Tang Fan come in for inspection.

Zhang's body has been moved to the side hall, which is equivalent to the crime scene. However, since Zhang's body has been removed, the scene has been destroyed, and it is difficult to find any useful clues at first sight.

Achun followed behind and repeated what she saw and heard after coming in to Tang Fan. When Tang Fan heard her talk about closing the window, he first went behind the screen, opened the windowsill, looked carefully, and then walked to the inner room.

The rope that Zhang hung on the beam was still tied to the beam. It is estimated that after everyone carried Zhang's body down, they didn't bother to untie the rope. The stool that Zhang was hanging next to him was kicked to the ground.

Achun followed him anxiously, watching Tang Fan rummaging on the messy bed for a while, then lifted up the sheets hanging from the bed, bent down and looked for a while, then reached out to grop.

When Tang Fan straightened his body again, he had an additional jade earring on his hand. The jade was carved into the shape of a lotus, and there were silver tassels hanging down from it, which was very exquisite.

"Do you recognize this thing?" Tang Fan asked.

Achun nodded: "It's the wife's thing."

Tang Fan asked: "This is what I found under the pillow."

Achun said, "I guess the wife forgot to take it off before going to bed and accidentally fell on the bed?"

Tang Fan asked again: "Why are there only one and the other one?"

Achun is not sure: "Maybe it's in bed too?"

Tang Fan nodded and handed her the earrings: "Then you put them away first."

Li Man stood outside the house and saw Tang Fan coming out, and asked, "What have you gained by sir?"

Tang Fan shook his head: "There is no gain, maybe Ling Zhengguo really hanged himself."

Li Man sighed, with obvious disappointment on her face: "To be honest, I hope she is harmed by others, so that she can find the real murderer and comfort her in the sky."

Tang Fan said: "If you think so, Zhang will definitely feel comforted. I guess you will not care about the fact that you brought your concubine back from outside."

Li Man was embarrassed and then a little angry. Even if Tang Fan was a court official, taking concubines was a family matter. When will it be the other party’s turn to make a fuss?

Tang Fan was too lazy to take care of Li Man's mood. After leaving the Li family, he went directly to Wanping County, found the magistrate of Wanping County, told them about the matter, and asked them to send someone to check Zhang's body.

Although the Li family did not want to sue the official, he still wanted people from Wanping County to go there, not for anything else, just for the sake of normal times, but also for the sake of his wife. If she really died unjustly, she would have to seek justice for her no matter what.

The first-level official position was to be crushed to death. Although Tang Fan was only from the sixth rank, he was from Shuntian Prefecture, and Shuntian Prefecture directly controlled Wanping County. After hearing his words, the magistrate of Wanping did not dare to neglect it. He immediately sent the county magistrate and the chief clerk to come over.

After Tang Fan left Wanping County Government, he returned to Shuntian Prefecture first.

As soon as he stepped into the gate of the government office, he saw his Du Jiang hurriedly greeting him: "Sir, you are back, the government is looking for you everywhere!"

Tang Fan asked: "Do you know what's going on?"

Du Jiang said: "I don't know, but it seems that the Lord of the Mansion is very anxious."

Tang Fan smiled and said, "I understand, thank you, you can go and do it."

Pan Bin was walking around the side hall with his hands in his arms. When he saw Tang Fan coming in and was about to bow his hand, he couldn't wait to wave his hand: "Okay, stop talking about these false rituals, look at this post!"

The post he handed over was red and black, with gold scattered on it, which looked quite exquisite.

Tang Fan took it and looked strange: "Mr. Wang invited you to dinner?"

"Yes!" Pan Bin looked sad, "I didn't mess with him again, so why did you treat me to a meal?"

Seeing that he was anxious, Tang Fan comforted him and said, "Sir, don't be anxious. Do you know why the Wang Factory Office invited? How many people did he hire?"

Pan Bin was very depressed: "How could I know this? Since the last time I went back to the Wu'an Marquis Mansion case, Wang Zhi has become more and more arrogant now. He dares not say anything else. He will not go to the Three Treasures Palace without any trouble. This time, there will definitely be no good banquet. I don't know what troubles are involved in Shuntian Mansion!"

Wang Zhi was a eunuch. First of all, eunuchs and civil servants are natural opposing classes, and their interests can never be consistent, unless they collude with each other. But in that case, civil servants themselves must be mentally prepared to be disgraced and have been infamous for thousands of years.

Pan Bin is not a clean official, but he definitely does not want to be a traitor. He just wants to be a peaceful official who has risen to the top. However, there is no such beautiful thing in the world. In the officialdom, people will inevitably have to deal with all kinds of people.

When dealing with civil servants, everyone is in the same way. They can use the rules of civil servants to play, but when dealing with eunuchs, the civil servant's trick will not work. Pan Bin couldn't understand Wang Zhi's purpose, and he neither wanted to get involved with him nor offend Wang Zhi, so he was very entangled.

Tang Fan understood his mood very well, so he expressed deep sympathy.

But Pan Bin didn't need sympathy. He said to Tang Fan: "Aren't you very familiar with the people from the Jinyiwei? Maybe they know what the situation is. Why not ask!"

Tang Fan was a little speechless: "Sir, the West Factory is also a spy agency, and intelligence prevention may not be looser than Jinyiwei. I'm afraid it's useless if I go to ask?"

Pan Bin said: "No matter whether it is useful or not, please ask, maybe there will be any news from them!"

Tang Fan knew that no matter what he said now, the other party couldn't listen, so he had to say, "I thank the adults for their wrong love. Please go and inquire first, but I may not be able to find out anything. Please forgive me!"

Pan Bin then became happy: "This is my good junior brother, what is my name? I'm so disgusting!"

Tang Fan could only smile bitterly, and was helpless to this Senior Brother Pan.

Since the last Wu'an Hou Mansion case, Tang Fan and Suizhou have indeed had some friendship, but the Beizhen Fushi Department will only be busier and less idle than Shuntian Mansion, because the Jinyiwei not only bears the emperor's order to inspect all officials, but also investigates major cases and is responsible for the imperial guards. Even those among the people who secretly castrate themselves to enter the palace to gain wealth were all sent to the Jinyiwei after being arrested.

In fact, many of the work that Shuntian Prefecture should do, the Jinyiwei is also doing. The Jinyiwei is also doing the work that Shuntian Prefecture should not do, so as the small leader of the Beizhen Fushi, the busyness of the Sui General Banner is not lower than that of Lord Tang.

However, when Tang Fan went to the Northern Fufu Department, he still received some special treatment. Xue Bing, the deputy of Suizhou, personally welcomed him. This man who rarely smiled on weekdays was quite enthusiastic about Tang Fan, but the news he said was a bit disappointing: "Brother Runqing came unfortunately. The hundred-household masters are now working on the job outside. It is estimated that it will take a few days to come back."

Tang Fan said, "Brother Guangchuan has been promoted? This is really gratifying!"

There are still hundreds of households on the general flag, which is equivalent to the deputy households. Then, when they go to the hundred households, Suizhou skipped the position of the hundred households and went directly to the hundred households. First, it must be because he performed well in the murder case of the Wu'an Hou Mansion. Second, he is different from ordinary Jinyiwei. A person with background and ability will definitely be much easier to be promoted no matter where he is.

Therefore, although Suizhou's promotion was somewhat unexpected, if you think about it carefully, you will find that it is reasonable.

Of course, as a friend, Tang Fan was naturally happy for him. Not to mention the other person, there was a friend of a hundred families in the North Town Fushi, which would be convenient for him to do anything in the future.

Xue Bing smiled and said, "No, my brother thinks it's nothing. Before we can have time to invite him to celebrate, he was sent to a foreign dynasty. At that time, we are going to have a drink in the Xmax Tower. Brother Runqing wants to come together?"

Tang Fan smiled and said, "Of course I have to go to such a happy event. Why don't you let me come and do it? Speaking of the last time I went to the Wu'an Hou Mansion case, thanks to Brother Guangchuan and you for help, I haven't thanked you yet!"

Xue Bing said: "Brother Runqing is a generous person, but there is no need. This time, a few brothers from the Beizhen Fushishi paid for a banquet. You will be fine when the time comes!"

Tang Fan naturally agreed and said, "Old Xue, I have something I want to inquire with you."

Xue Bing: "But it's okay to say it."

Tang Fan said: "Do you know what happened to Mr. Wang of Xichang recently?"

Xue Bing thought for a while: "No, why do you ask this?"

Tang Fan smiled bitterly: "Mr. Wang suddenly invited my father to dinner. I don't know what the purpose is. My father. My father. I am uneasy, so I come here to disturb you, hoping to get a clue so that I can't let you know anything so that I can't go to the banquet and offend Mr. Wang."

Wang Zhi's reputation is known to the capital. Not only Shuntian Mansion is afraid of him, but also Jinyiwei, Xue Bing looked sympathetic: "I haven't heard of anything happening, but I can ask you when will Lord Pan go to the banquet?"

Tang Fan said: "Two days later."

Xue Bing nodded: "Then there is still time. If there is any news, I will tell you."

Tang Fan said gratefully: "That's really thank you!"

Xue Bing: "Brother Runqing doesn't have to be so polite. It's just a simple task! If the eldest brother is there, he will definitely help this. At least I have never heard him praise anyone. Brother Runqing is the first one. I just want to help you because of this!"

Tang Fanqi said: "What did he praise me?"

Xue Bing laughed: "You don't talk nonsense, you can do things."

Tang Fan smiled bitterly, this really looks like the style of Suizhou praising people!

After a few more greetings, Tang Fan said goodbye to Xue Bing, left the Beizhen Fushi, and returned to Shuntian Prefecture.
Chapter completed!
