The majestic Grand View City.
This city is not only the seat of Daguan County and the county government, but also the state capital of Songzhou is located in this city, similar to the provincial capital of Xu Zhen's previous life.
It is conceivable that this city must be the largest large city in Songzhou.
Looking from a distance, the towering city towers into the clouds, making it a spectacular sight.
After entering the city, there are even more high-rise buildings, row upon row, bustling with people and bustling everywhere.
Xu Zhen had never traveled far before, and this was the first time he came to such a prosperous big city. Under the warm spring sun, he felt a little dizzy.
Daguan City has been an important place in the Central Plains since ancient times. Since it is less than a hundred miles away from the holy capital Xuanmiao City, its military strategic significance is self-evident. It is often said to be a battleground for military strategists.
Because of this, the city wall buildings are exceptionally tall and strong, and the buildings inside the city seem to be designed to cater to the grandeur of the city wall, and most of them are tall, majestic and very impressive.
Looking around, there are all high-end houses, numerous terraces and pavilions, and thousands of clouds cover the sun.
Xu Zhen felt that this Daguan City truly highlighted the word "big" in its name, and it was full of atmosphere.
Of course, Xu Zhen came here with an important mission. As soon as he entered the city, he rushed to a place in the south of the city and came to the door of an extremely lavish house with a plaque hanging high.
Knocking on the door, Xu Zhen immediately handed in the greeting card in his arms.
Then, he waited at the door for about a stick of incense, and someone inside invited him into the house.
Xu Zhen went in alone and told Shen Yu, Meng Zhixiao and Qin Yin to wait outside.
After Xu Zhen entered, Shen Yu raised his head and saw two big characters written on the plaque: "Ning Mansion".
It turns out that the owner of this mansion is named Ning Zangfeng, and he is the military and cavalry captain of Daguan County.
Although the Military and Cavalry Captain is only a sixth-grade officer, on the same level as the county governor, he is the highest military officer at the county level. His troops are in charge of the defense of the entire Daguan City, and his actual power far exceeds that of the county governor.
The reason why Xu Zhen came to see the military and cavalry captain at his first stop was because this person had another identity, that is, he was Wei Yulang's second son-in-law.
Coincidentally, Ning Zangfeng happened to come home from get off work. Before he could change his clothes, he was still wearing Bi Fangjia, a symbol of military power and status of the Daxuan Dynasty army.
Bi Fang is a legendary ancient beast that represents loyalty and obedience.
Ning Zangfeng is very similar to Wei Yulang in his youth. He was born in a jade tree and has a gentle temperament. If he didn't wear armor, it would be difficult to imagine that he was an officer.
After meeting, Xu Zhen quickly announced his family status, but did not emphasize his relationship with Wei Yulang too much.
Because he was Wei Yulang's sworn brother, and Ning Zangfeng was his son-in-law. The son-in-law seemed to be only about ten years older than his adopted brother.
If you want something from others and place too much emphasis on this relationship, you will naturally feel like you are pretending to be a senior.
"Since you are recommended by your father-in-law, you don't have to be restrained." Ning Zangfeng has quite a lot of experience in officialdom, and his words are neither far nor near, just right. "If you have anything to do, just say it!"
Xu Zhen didn't need to exchange greetings, so he made his intention clear.
"Oh?" Upon hearing that Xu Zhen was here for Fang Wubing's case, Ning Zangfeng suddenly opened his eyes wide and said, "So, you are the nephew of the cell leader? 䉉...仉..."
"Qilin." Xu Zhen quickly said his uncle's name.
"Yes," Ning Zangfeng nodded, "I have been busy working on this case these past few days! The whole city is under martial law and we are searching door to door. Oh, it's not good to run away, but it's such a deadly guy who ran away."
"Captain Ning," Xu Zhen said, cupping his hands, "my uncle Lin Lin must have been framed. This case is really suspicious!"
"Yes," Ning Zangfeng nodded without thinking, "I know, he must have been framed. However, there is no way. If Fang Wubing cannot be caught, there must be an explanation.
"Hey," Ning Zang rushed to Xu Zhen and said with a pout, "You're not asking me to save your uncle, are you? That's impossible!"
oh……
Hearing this, Xu Zhen couldn't help but frown.
It seems that these
There are no fools among the officials, and they all know that uncle Qin Lin was wrongly accused.
But they still turned a blind eye, which illustrates the complexity of this case.
"Don't worry, Lieutenant Ning," Xu Zhen took out two banknotes from his sleeves, handed them over naturally, and said with a smile, "I'm not here to save people, and I won't force them to do anything."
"Oh?" Ning Zangfeng took it and took a look, but saw that it was a thousand-tael banknote and said curiously, "If that's the case, what do you mean by this?"
"I came in a hurry and didn't prepare any gifts." Xu Zhen put the banknote away and took back his hand. "I hope the captain will accept this kindness."
"You're welcome," Ning Zangfeng looked at the two banknotes and did not reach out to take them. Instead, he looked at Xu Zhen and said, "With the relationship of father-in-law, there is no need at all."
"Since there's no need for it, then..." Xu Zhen pointed to the banknote and said, "I'll use this little silver to buy some news from you. What do you think?"
"Oh?" Ning Zangfeng smiled slightly, obviously curious, "You want to buy information from me? What information are you buying, about Fang Wubing's case?"
Seeing Xu Zhen nodding, Ning Zangfeng smiled again: "Could it be that...if I tell you the news, you can save your uncle?"
"What if..." Xu Zhen said, "I can catch Fang Wubing?"
Hearing this, Ning Zangfeng gradually put away his smile and said, "Fang Wubing disappeared out of thin air! In your uncle's house, stolen goods from six years ago were found. What does this mean?"
"Explanation," Xu Zhen said, "Fang Wubing's accomplices have come to save him!"
"That's right?" Ning Zangfeng said, "Since there are accomplices, it means that Fang Wubing has fled thousands of miles away. How do you catch him?"
"Brother Wei said in the letter," Xu Zhen said, "I am a police officer!"
"Haha..." Ning Zangfeng laughed, "I know you are a detective, so what? The people from the Detective Division have been investigating for two days. If they could catch him, your uncle would have been released long ago!"
"Then..." Xu Zhen also smiled, "Let's make a bet?"
"A bet?" Ning Zangfeng said with a smile, "What are you betting on?"
"I lost," Xu Zhen said, "I will give you another five thousand taels of silver!"
"Then...what if I lose?" Ning Zangfeng asked.
"Then I will give you all the credit for catching Fang Wubing!" Xu Zhen replied without hesitation.
"..." Ning Zangfeng stopped talking. After analyzing for a moment, he asked, "In this way, I will definitely make a profit without losing anything. What kind of bet is this?"
"So..." Xu Zhen knocked on the two thousand taels of silver notes, "Excuse me, Captain, please tell me the whole case!"
"Oh..." Ning Zangfeng finally realized that Xu Zhen's feelings were being traded with him.
Since you can benefit from this gamble whether you win or lose, why not cooperate with Xu Zhen and provide him with case information?
Ning Zangfeng smiled again and said in his heart: This little catcher is really interesting...
