Dai Zong was feeling up and down. He was really startled by Gao Fangping's appearance. He nodded with a pale face and said, "I was sure to be sent to the Grand Tutor. He also specifically talked about the location of the Cai Mansion, the old Grand Tutor's preferences, etc.."

Gao Fangping stood up, tightened his brows and began to take steps.

I thought about it carefully and it seemed that the plot of Water Margin was also similar. However, the specific one was very vague and unclear.

In theory, it is normal for the magistrate to sentence a person to death. If the matter is important and Cai Shu doesn't trust the Criminal Department, then it is barely possible to bypass the Criminal Department of Jiangnan East Road and submit it directly to the center for review. It is not that everyone has a little anger and likes to play the Criminal Department.

But the submission center is actually submitting it to the Ministry of Justice, not to Cai Jing. That is a different concept.

Gao Fangping felt that there was something really tricky about this. He didn't send the news to Cai Jing first without sending it to the Ministry of Justice. There was only one explanation: there were flaws in the case and could not pass the review of the Ministry of Justice. Therefore, Cai Jing needed to know in advance and say hello to the Ministry of Justice.

After thinking for a while, Gao Fangping asked curiously: "It seems that Cai Shu specifically ordered you to deliver the letter for a reason. At least he trusts you more, and you are his confidant. No wonder Huang Wenbing used this matter to stare at you and Song Jiang?"

Dai Zong was afraid of his misunderstanding, so he hurriedly decided: "The magistrate, my grandson, is the most suspicious, and no one trusts him. If you want to say, I, Dai Zong, can also be regarded as one of his right-hand men. And it is rumored that I, Dai Zong, can walk and can rely on the horse to travel 800 miles a day, so the grandson asked me to send me a message based on this."

"But you didn't seem to go?" Gao Fangping said.

Dai Zong whispered: "I originally agreed to go, but I felt it didn't matter if I just sent a letter. But shortly afterwards, Tongzong Huang Wenbing inspected Hukou County. At the end, I didn't know what happened. Bumblebee, no, Lord Huang left Hukou County shortly after he left Hukou County when it was dark. The four guards who accompanied him were killed together. It is said... it is said... it is said... "

"What is it said?" Gao Fangping narrowed his eyes and listened carefully.

"I heard the rumors below that the dead people were neatly wounded, like sharp axes chopped." Dai Zong looked very embarrassed and said not very straightforward. "I was also confused. I didn't expect such a big thing to happen. You know, if ordinary people were involved in such a thing as Tongzong's murder, they really didn't know how the whole family died. So, when the magistrate urged him to go to the capital to deliver the letter, Bei Zhi suspected that there was something hidden in it, so he simply said that he couldn't get out of illness."

Gao Fangping nodded slightly, his explanation was smooth. He knew whether it was related to Huang Wenbing's murder, but people who were in the officialdom were always very clever. It would rather be trusted that such things were. If you take sick leave and give up, you would lose your official position and participate in randomly. That would really kill the whole family by accident.

Generally speaking, after meeting, Gao Fangping learned that Dai Zong is not a good man. After staying in the officialdom for a long time, he is actually a smart old fry.

In "Water Margin", he resigned from office and retired afterwards. It can be seen here that this guy is a witty person who can avoid powerful things.

As Wu Yong and his old friends, those guys rebelled. Generally speaking, it would be strange if Dai Zong would follow him. Unless he smelled it in his head, he would put a good warden and a senior civil servant would not go to Liangshan. Later, he went up the mountain because he was desperate and wanted to save Song Jiang, but he was cheated by Wu Yong's half-baked trick, which led to him being captured. Then he went.

Speaking of which, this fat man Song Jiang is really a fascinating person. In just a short period of time, he seemed to get along well with Dai Zong and many people in Jiangzhou. This is probably the reason why Huang Wenbing did not let Song Jiang go.

In the book, taking advantage of the opportunity to deliver a letter to Cai Jing, Dai Zong ran to Liangshan to ask for advice and planned to save Song Jiang. That should be the friendship between him and Song Jiang.

Thinking, he shook his head and asked Gao Fangping: "You said Huang Wenbing and his guard died of a big axe. Let me think about it, you looked embarrassed when you said it. I heard that you have an acquaintance named Li Kui, who is in Jiangzhou City. He seems to be a fool using an axe?"

Dai Zong's expression changed drastically, and he hurriedly knelt on the ground and said, "Sir, don't over-interpret it. I do know the black guy. In fact, he likes to cause trouble and cause trouble. Many people in Jiangzhou City also know him. Indeed, after seeing Brother Song Jiang, Li Kui seemed to have lost his soul and admired Song Jiang very much. He was a muddy man who had milk and was a mother. Because Song Jiang was rich, he often bought him wine. However, whether it was him that Li Kui killed the official in order to make justice for Song Jiang, and whether Brother Song Jiang played a role in this matter, Bei Zhi didn't know. I don't think it was possible. Even if it was possible, Bei Zhi swears that I would never participate in it with my reputation."

Gao Fangping frowned and thought for a moment, saying, "Basically, I don't believe that Song Jiang instigated Li Kui to do this. Li Kui's personality may have brought his own lunch box to do this. But overall, I don't believe that this was made by Li Kui."

Dai Zong was stunned and said curiously in relief: "Why do sir, do you think so?"

Gao Fangping said: "Before Huang Wenbing was appointed as the magistrate of Jiangzhou, he knew Wuwei Army. You said he had four guards, Master Tian, ​​Huang Wenbing was so treacherous and offensive official, if his guard was not the elite of the army, I don't believe it. If Li Kui's brainless black man acted alone, I don't believe it if he had the ability to fight Huang Wenbing's four guards alone, I would never believe it. If it were me, if I wanted to do such a big case, I would never conspire with someone like Li Kui, that would be for myself."

Dai Zong nodded happily and said, "It makes sense. However, after the incident happened, after the rumor was secretly there, the magistrate ordered Li Kui to be captured, but it was not caught. Li Kui's black servant had already received the news and ran away early. So the magistrate positioned Li Kui as a rebel, insisting that he ran away after killing the official and venting his anger."

Hearing this, Gao Fangping knew that Dai Zong secretly informed Li Kui that he ran away, and even gave him money. After running away, he basically confirmed his reputation. However, there was no way. If he didn't run away in this era, Li Kui really would not have any way to survive, and he was also forcibly taken the blame. It was obvious that Huang Wenbing's death would be taken by Cai Shu using Li Kui and others to calm down such a shocking incident.

Of course, Dai Zong would not admit the issue of telling Li Kui to run away on the surface. Gao Fangping didn't have the heart to care about Dai Zong's little thoughts. Li Kui is a person who is not important at all. Even if he really killed Huang Wenbing, he doesn't matter. He himself is a person who doesn't argue and doesn't have brains. What is really important is: what exactly did Huang Wenbing be killed for.

The truth that needs to be killed to cover up is that this case will be a real "tiger". No wonder Zhang Shuye insisted on resisting the pressure and let Gao Fangping lead the Divine Guards into Jiangzhou!

The difficulty of this case is that he can have many words based on Cai Shu's needs. After all, there are many enemies like Huang Wenbing, and there are definitely not only ten or eight who want to kill him.

After lifting the tea bowl and drinking it all in one sip, Gao Fangping said: "Who investigated the scene where the Tongzong Huang Wenbing was killed?"

Dai Zong whispered: "It is Zheng Juzhong County magistrate of Hukou. He personally took people to investigate."

"Who reported the case?"

"It was a commoner who returned to the city to report the case." Dai Zong clasped his fists and said.

In short, his voice was getting lower and lower. As the inquiry deepened, even though he had decided to take the lead, the matter was really scary. There was no need to analyze the case, just casually speaking. Dai Zong, who was profession, also felt that there were many doubts, such as when the people reported the case, how did the people know that it was Huang Wenbing's body in the dark? That time Huang Wenbing was traveling privately.

What made Dai Zong the most headache was that Gao Fangping was not a stupid official. After hearing this, he felt something was wrong, so he said in confusion: "When it was dark, how did the people know that the person who was killed was Huang Wenbing? If it was not confirmed that it was a major case of the official being killed, why did Zheng Juzhong's style lead people to investigate the scene as soon as possible?"

Dai Zong clasped his fists and said, "These things are also confused, but they cannot ask them out of the question, and they cannot know the inside story. Perhaps the case is not complicated, but it is just that the incident is too sensitive. The magistrate and the Zheng Juzhong County Master did not mention these words, and no one is allowed to ask. So, who dares to ask about this matter?"

When Gao Fangping heard the name "Zheng Juzhong" for the second time, he was stunned and finally remembered who this guy was here.

This guy has worked as a living room man and has the title of Hanlin Bachelor. He is the brother of Concubine Zheng in the Imperial City and is a very awesome person.

In history, he was a member of Cai Jing at the beginning, and later Zhang Kangguo. He was a bit of a two-faced character like Zhang Kangguo. Later, there were rumors that Zhang Kangguo was a member of the Cai Party on the surface, but secretly was under the emperor's secret order to monitor Cai Jing. It is impossible to verify whether this is true. But a hero like Cai Jing must have been disagreeing with Zhang Kangguo since then. Zheng Juzhong, who leaned against Zhang Kangguo, naturally was not favored by Cai Jing.

In history, Zheng Juzhong had a strong combat power. He should have served as the Privy Council after the Zhang Kangguo incident last year. However, because Xiao Gao's arrival disturbed the court and the damage of the Zhang Huaisu case increased, even if Zheng Juzhong was a member of Zhang Kangguo, he was demoted from Beijing by Cai Jing. The demotion was really miserable. He was beaten to the end in the Song Dynasty. He was demoted from Hukou in one breath.
