Tao Feng, the First Rank Tianqing of the Department of Foreign Affairs, showed up in person but failed to save his grandson. Instead, he was full of anger. After leaving the Yamen, he walked angrily to the street, not even sitting in the sedan chair.
The eldest son Tao Yi followed closely behind and asked aggrievedly: "Dad! Why didn't we kill that Luofan just now to save Zhili? We have four major families as our backers, and even if we really killed him, the King of Tiandu wouldn't dare to What to do with us."
Tao Feng said angrily: "Help! This useless grandson has ruined my reputation. I am not the only grandson. Even Sima Yue had to find an excuse to kill someone. There were so many people in the Yamen looking at me just now. You can really kill them. Besides, you are blind. Hundreds of masters from the Mu Gang and Donglaimen have been killed. Do you know how many ambushes are hidden there! If we really take action, will you ensure that we can still leave alive? Use your brain more when doing things in the future, and don't get into trouble like your stupid son. Now it's better to kill yourself, such a stupid grandson deserves to be beaten to death!"
Tao Yi cried aggrievedly: "Then let it go. Zhili is my only son, and I am not willing to let him be beaten to death like this."
Tao Feng snorted: "You don't want to be useless. However, there are people who are more anxious than us. So many people were killed in Mugang and Donglaimen, you think they will let that kid go. No need for us to take action tonight The tens of thousands of people from the Mu Gang and Donglaimen can crush this kid! Just wait and see."
Tao Yi understood and felt a little happy. He said angrily: "Dad can see clearly. That kid will definitely not survive tonight. And Xu Yang and Nangong Xiaoxiao can't let them live easy. Should we send someone to kill them immediately?"
Thinking of Xu Yang, Tao Feng's eyebrows were ruthless and he gritted his teeth and said: "Of course I have to kill him. If Xu Yang hadn't been meddling in his own business, there wouldn't have been any of these things. But we can't do anything yet. Thirteen Sword Mountains is the number one sword sect in the world. There is no shortage of the best swordsmen in the world. If we kill Nangong Xiaoxiao now, they will definitely seek revenge on us. By then, we will not be able to escape death. We first waited for the news to pass, and then spent money to find a few reliable killers, and ended up killing him twice. They are just human beings. However, you need to send people to keep an eye on them first, and don’t let them run back to Jianyue, otherwise they won’t be able to be killed.”
Tao Yi nodded coldly: "Dad is right. I will send someone to keep an eye on them. I promise not to let them escape."
…
Several Tao Zhili were beaten to death and their bodies were dragged out. The common people had seen enough of the show, talked and laughed and left the Yamen.
The lobby became quiet again.
Luo Fan sat in the lobby, looked at Jia Xu and said, "Master Jia, get the file of a case."
Upon hearing that the case was still going to be heard, all the officials in the hall collapsed to the ground. One case offended all the big shots in the capital, so he still wanted to continue? Isn't he tired after killing all afternoon?
Jia Xu also shivered, wiped his forehead, stooped and asked, "Sir? Are we still asking questions today?"
Luo Fan said seriously: "Isn't it time to leave for work? Do you have to take a day off after finishing a case? How can we finish the backlog of cases in the yamen. Bring me the files."
Jia Xu felt a chill in his heart! Is this guy human? They offended Yin Shaozheng in the morning, killed He Biao and Lin Dong in the afternoon, then killed Mo Hanchong of the Dong Laimen and Liu Tong of the Mu Gang, and just killed Tao Zhili. After killing these people for a long time, he seemed to be fine. He is truly a born demon!
Jia Xu did not dare to disobey Luofan's order and quickly ran to the side hall to look for old files. He rummaged in the filing cabinet for a long time but couldn't find anything suitable, scratching his head anxiously. Nowadays, no one dares to file a lawsuit. Those who can come to the Yamen are all wealthy and powerful people. If you take any case at random, the person in the hall will probably cause a lot of bloodshed!
At this moment, a dusty file in the corner caught his attention. As if seeing a savior, Jia Xu took it directly in his hand and ran back to the lobby happily.
Seeing Jia Xu's happy expression, Luo Fan joked: "Master Jia, does this case involve any of your relatives? Why are you so happy?"
Jia Xu was stunned. He didn't expect this living Yama to like to joke. He breathed a sigh of relief and said, "Young man is joking. The criminal in this case is named Qi Buyi. He has no background and seems to be a lunatic. He always says that he can see through the future and so on, and likes to engage in celestial mysticism. In fact, he is just a fortune teller. gentlemen."
Luo Fan understood it as soon as he heard it. Jia Xu must have picked a small and inconspicuous case. However, no matter how small a case is, there is always a perpetrator, and they should be investigated clearly. He took the file and asked casually: "What did he do?"
Jia Xu said carefully: "More than half a year ago, once, Zhou Du was a high-ranking official, that is, a wealthy businessman in Hucheng County outside the capital. His family owned thousands of hectares of fertile land and ran hundreds of banks. He also had three thousand followers. He also made good friends with all the nearby sects. It is said that one day, Zhou Daguan came to the capital with his first wife Zhou Lanhua. They stayed at the Bailing Lakeside Inn on East Street. In the evening, the two were walking by the lake when Qi Buyi suddenly rushed out. He knocked Zhou Lanhua into the water and almost drowned him. Later, he was twisted and brought here."
Luofan asked: "Since he is a madman and he is not dead, a small punishment is enough. Why should he be imprisoned for so long?"
Jia Xu whispered: "I secretly saw that Zhou Daguan gave the then county magistrate Yao Guang five hundred taels of silver notes and ordered Qi Buyi to die in prison. So the case has been suppressed."
Luo Fan suddenly asked: "What happened to Zhou Du and his wife?"
Jia Xu was stunned when he heard this, thought for a while and said, "Later, Zhou Lanhua was fine. However, Zhou Du died of illness a few days after he became a high official. Zhou Lanhua found a mistress again."
Luofan nodded thoughtfully, and then asked: "Then Zhou Duren was married into the Zhou family, and later changed his surname to Zhou. Later, the father-in-law died, and he got the family property?"
Jia Xu was surprised and asked: "Sir, how do you know the situation of his family? Yes, Zhou Du was a poor boy thirty years ago. Later he married into the Zhou family and became prosperous. The old head of the Zhou family After his death, he became extremely wealthy."
Luo Fan smiled slightly, already guessing what happened. A fortune teller mostly relies on ventriloquism to make money. If you meet a rich person, you should be flattering, why push them into the water? There are only two possibilities, one is to harm people, the other is to save people. He wouldn't be so stupid to harm others, he would probably be saving them.
It must be that Zhou Duren wanted to murder his wife, but the fortune-telling coincidence saw him. So he took action to save people. Zhou Lanhua was lucky enough to survive, and she also guessed her husband's intention to harm her. So he took the initiative and killed Zhou Duren. It's a pity that Zhou Lanhua is not a good person either. Otherwise, you should thank the fortune teller, why would you put him in jail?
Thinking of this, Luofan said: "Come here, bring Qi Buyi out."
Two detectives immediately went down to pick up the man. Soon, a young man wearing a gray cotton robe and prison uniform, with clean hair and beard, and a high-spirited look, who was no more than thirty-five or six years old, came slowly.
Luofan has a wonderful vision. I thought fortune tellers were all old men, why did a young man come here? He is still in such high spirits, it doesn't look like he has been in jail for half a year.
The young man came into the hall and seemed very happy. He bowed and saluted Luofan. Then, he scratched his head and recited a poem: "The breeze is warm in the evening, and the water is crossing the cold ducks. Feather fans are dancing, and they are flying away!"
Listen to the music. This guy went to jail and did some learning. However, this poem is really not very good, probably about the same as myself.
Luo Fan smiled: "Sir, I'm very interested. It seems that our county prison cell can support people."
Qi Buyi smiled and handed over his hands: "Where, where. Performing in the arena means sleeping in the open air and eating when you are hungry. Although the environment in this cell is worse, it is slightly cleaned and you can read some poems and books quietly, and you don't have to worry about eating and drinking. And , Once you have come, make peace with it. As the saying goes, 'A heart with a foot wide is like the ocean'. What's more, there are seven or eight feet of ground in the cell. In this way, I can live well."
Luofan took out fifty taels of silver notes and asked Jia Xu to hand them to Qi Buyi. Then he said: "Qi Buyi, you are hereby found not guilty. I will give you some silver and you can go on your own."
The policeman in the hall looked confused. Why don't you ask questions and just give money directly? He killed too many people today and wanted to accumulate some merit?
Qi Buyi took the banknote, bowed to Chong Luofan, and said with a smile: "Thank you, sir. I had expected that the White Tiger Star would come down to earth today to help me out of trouble. With all due respect, although the White Tiger is the nemesis of all demons, it is Lone Star Destiny. It is inevitable that a young man will die suddenly and be alone all his life. If you want to solve the problem, I may try my best to help you."
