The summer wind blows.
The breeze blew through the old sycamore tree in the courtyard, leaving a hint of heat in the air.
In the sixth year of Shunwu, the weather in Lingxiao County seemed a little abnormal.
The rain a few days ago has made the weather a lot cooler.
According to the rules of previous years, with this rain, the temperature should gradually cool down.
But I didn't expect that I was only comfortable for a few days.
As soon as the rain stopped, the weather became even hotter than before.
It will be the beginning of autumn in two days, and the temperature is actually higher than the dog days of summer...
Zhang Suxing shook his head and folded the fan in his hand, listened to the cicadas chirping in the yard, and cursed in a low voice, "Why is it still so hot in this damn weather?"
Moreover, why do I keep feeling a little uneasy?
Throwing the documents in his hand on the table, he was about to find a drink of cold water when a person hurriedly walked in from outside the room.
Chen Fang has been following Zhang Suxing for many years.
Ever since he was kidnapped from his position as Master Wangjiang by Guanxing, he has returned to Zhang Suxing.
Zhang Suxing originally wanted to find a position for him in the county governor's mansion, but Chen Fang refused.
He was originally a slave of the Zhang family, and he didn't care about his position. As long as he could be by Zhang Suxing's side, he was content.
Moreover, after Zhang Suxing was promoted, the reason why he still served as Master Wangjiang was because he wanted to be Zhang Suxing's eyes in Wangjiang.
But since he was kicked back, it would be better to just watch in secret.
It just so happens that you don't have to be tied down by trivial matters in the county government.
Seeing that Chen Fang, who had always been calm, looked so flustered at this moment, Zhang Suxing was very surprised: "Master Chen, when did you get so flustered?"
After being the magistrate of Wangjiang County for so many years, Zhang Suxing has always called Chen Fang "Master Chen" and has become comfortable with it.
Even though he is no longer a master, Zhang Suxing still likes to be called that.
"Master, something serious has happened!" Chen Fang rushed to Zhang Suxing in three steps and two steps at a time. "Wangjiang, something happened!"
"What's going on?" Zhang Suxing's heart trembled, and the uneasy feeling he felt just now became even more intense.
"Zhou Wuci was arrested by Guanxing of Xinzhi County. He said he was related to Peng Dabeard's group of bandits." Chen Fang looked nervous. "The whole city of Wangjiang has been searching for the whereabouts of Fengzhongyu for several days. The city has just been released." Door."
"Zhou Wuci? Is that the old scholar from Sihai College?" Zhang Suxing was stunned when he heard this. "Isn't he a native of Wangjiang? How come he still got in touch with Peng Dabeard? I remember that after Qin Feng left, he also The management of Sihai Academy has been handed over to him!"
Immediately, his brows furrowed. "That's not right! It's been a long time since the storm hit the Duan Mansion. The case was approved by the magistrate last. Is it possible that he still stayed in Wangjiang County?" ?”
Chen Fang's face became very solemn. "Feng Zhongyu never left Wangjiang and hid in Zhou Wuci's old house on the outskirts of the city. I don't know how Duan Wenjun knew about it. The two imperial guards beside him The masters of Jianmen killed them directly. Feng Zhongyu escaped with serious injuries, but Mobei Shuanghu was captured alive by them and sent to the capital."
"Oh, they are all bugs from the Shadow Sect. They deserve to die." Zhang Suxing picked up the teapot on the table and took a few sips of herbal tea. He finally felt better. "That man with the big beard is also looking for death, no?" If you stay in the north well and then come to the south to run wild, you are getting tired of living."
"Zhou Wuci confessed in the prison that the reason why he helped Feng Zhongyu was because the young master asked him to." Chen Fang's tone became more serious.
"Pfft!" The tea that Zhang Suxing just drank in his mouth spurted out, spraying all over Chen Fang's head and face.
He coughed violently because he was choked.
Chen Fang ignored the wet tea on his face and hurriedly stepped forward to help pat Zhang Suxing's back, "Master, don't get excited!"
Zhang Suxing recovered from his violent coughing. He stared at Chen Fang and said, "What did you just say?"
"Zhou Wuci confessed that the young master found him and asked him to cooperate with Feng Zhongyu." Chen Fang replied, wiping the tea on his face.
"Spewing at others! Spurring at others!" Zhang Suxing shouted angrily, "How could Wen Jian have anything to do with the bearded man Peng?"
"I'm afraid they got to know each other when Guan Feng kidnapped Duan Wenjun." Chen Fang's deep voice sounded again.
"What did you say?" Zhang Suxing stared at Chen Fangdao in horror.
Chen Fang's words were undoubtedly saying that Zhou Wuci had not lied.
Chen Fang didn't pause and continued, "It is said that Xiufeng was once Feng Zhongyu's disciple, but he refused to work for the Shadow Sect and was expelled by him, so he came to the south. The night before Xiufeng entered the city , Young Master once sneaked out of the city alone, and brought out a large stack of banknotes."
Looking at Zhang Suxing's puzzled expression, he continued, "When we first came to Wangjiang, the young master was thrown down from the upstairs of Wangjiang Art Hall by Duan Wenjun. He always felt that this was a great shame and humiliation. Over the years, Never forgotten."
"You mean, Wen Jian bribed Duan Wenjun, who was kidnapped by Fei Feng?" Zhang Suxing's face was full of surprise. "No, this is impossible! Even if I borrowed a hundred courages from him, he wouldn't dare to pay for the murder, and he still used Fei Feng. This line.”
"Logically speaking, it's impossible. But what if someone spreads the rumor?" Chen Fang shook his head. "It is true that the kidnapping of Duan Wenjun by Xiufeng has nothing to do with the young master. However, I guess the young master has spent money to prevent Xiufeng from bringing him back. Otherwise , Xiufeng has always valued credibility, and is just seeking money, so it is impossible for him to cut Duan Wenjun like that."
"Naughty son, evil son!" Zhang Suxing was furious, "Has he forgotten the mission of our old Zhang family? He actually caused such a disaster."
Ever since Zhang Suxing's father's generation, the Zhang family has been paying attention to Wangjiang and Duanjiabao.
The Zhang family has always felt that Duanjiabao is not as simple as it seems.
Therefore, when Xiefeng set his sights on Duanjiabao and suffered a loss, Zhang Suxing's father found Xiufeng and asked him to give up the idea.
Only then did Moon Island and Duanjiabao live in peace for so many years.
Zhang Suxing didn't understand what the relationship was between his father and Gui Feng.
But he knew that Xiufeng seemed to obey his father's words.
Later, after some operations, Zhang Suxing filled the vacancy of Wangjiang County Magistrate.
After arriving at Wangjiang justifiably, he would naturally be able to better control the situation here.
After so many years, although what he found was very limited, he at least had some clues.
For example, at the end of the Wei Dynasty, when Du Zhongxian burned the palace, Yan Yuxuan, the first master of the Shadow Sect, did not actually die. Instead, he followed the orders of Wei Emperor Zhao Yu and took away many of the elite members of the Shadow Sect and disappeared.
For example, the Shadow Sect, which is now notorious in the world, may not be the real Shadow Sect, but just a group of guys who misbehave under the guise of the Shadow Sect.
For example, someone once saw that there seemed to be a person who looked very similar to Yan Yuxuan on the ship that transported the treasures of the previous dynasty...
Of course, he also collected a clue about the Duan family's suspicions.
The ancestors of the Duan family were most likely members of the Shadow Sect of the previous dynasty.
Zhang Suxing couldn't be sure whether it was true or not, and he couldn't find the slightest evidence.
However, he felt that since the news came out, it might not be groundless...
