Han Fangshan pondered on how to follow the clues. After a while, Tao Xingchang hurried back, holding a brocade box in his hand and said, "Sir, the account book has been found. Thanks to the adults who sent the letter later, otherwise it would be so hidden, so it would be really hard to find."

"You should thank Zhang Mu. If it weren't for the whereabouts of this account book from Zhang Chi's mouth, you would have been in vain." After saying this, he opened the brocade box and flipped through it.

Tao Xingchang looked at Zhang Mu again with gratitude and stood on one side with his head down.

After looking through a few pages, Han Fangshan closed the account book and clapped his hands, "Go and summon your brothers."

At this moment, about a dozen Jinyiwei arrived in the backyard one after another. Han Fangshan said, "Brothers, it's time to make contributions this time. Tao Xingchang, you should take seven or eight people with you to arrest Wang Heng, the brother-in-law of County Magistrate Song, and be sure to do it clean. Python Hu, you should take someone with me to the county government to arrest this Song."

"As for the order." At that moment, Tao Xingchang and Mang Hu said with their fists and bowed their waists, and then began to call on their subordinates to prepare.

"Zhang Mu, you have made great contributions to this case. It is time to close the Internet now. Go back and have a good rest. I will naturally notify you if there is any news." Han Fangshan smiled.

"Thank you, sir, for your return." When Zhang Mu said this, he headed towards the gate.

When we arrived at the door, we saw two carriages coming back, one coming from his mansion and the other coming from the Zhang Ao family. It seemed that their bodies had been transported back.

Zhang Mu yawned and his face was a little haggard. From yesterday to now, he has not been asleep for a night. What happened is thrilling. Now he has calmed down and plans to go home and have a good sleep before talking about it.

After getting on his own carriage, he slowly headed towards the Zhang Mansion.

—————

The sky was just gray and the fog had not yet dissipated.

County Magistrate Song changed into his official uniform and had just come out of the backyard. He was about to ride a horse to the Kangxi River embankment.

The embankment of the Kangxi River has been repairing these days, so he naturally has to supervise the work to avoid delaying the process.

However, as soon as he reached the second gate, the old butler ran over in a panic and said, "Master, something big happened."

Seeing that his face turned pale, Song County Town couldn't help but ask nervously: "What's wrong?"

"A man came to the back door just now, covered in blood, saying that he wanted to see the master. I carried him to the woodshed first, Master, come and take a look." The old butler said.

County Magistrate Song went to the firewood in the backyard without saying a word. When he opened the door of the firewood in his arms, he saw a man in his early forties lying on the ground dyingly. His body was mottled with blood and blood, and many places were already missing, which made people feel painful.

But at this moment, his face was dark and his hair and eyebrows were burned and could not be identified.

"I am Song Luoxin. What's the matter with me?" Song County Town hurriedly lowered his waist.

The man's lips stirred up and shouted faintly: "Water."

The old housekeeper hurriedly scooped water with a gourd ladle. County Magistrate Song personally fed it to his mouth. The man took a few sips and hugged the gourd ladle, and started drinking it in big mouthfuls.

After drinking, his spirit suddenly improved a lot, his eyes became energetic, and he hurriedly said, "Master, I am Zhao Hu, following Master Chi. Last night, Master Chi went to kill Zhang Mu, but ended up in the ambush of the Jinyiwei. The brothers were all dead, the young ones hid in the pond and only came out while they were putting out the fire. Then he hurried to report to the adults."

"Embroidered Uniform Guard!" County Magistrate Song suddenly stood up and asked, "Are you sure you read it wrong? Is it the Embroidered Uniform Guard?"

"It's true that they are holding military crossbows in their hands. If it weren't for the Jinyiwei, how could ordinary people have divine arm crossbows?" Zhao Hu explained.

When County Magistrate Song heard this, his legs were weak and he almost knelt down. Although the people of the Ming Dynasty can carry short weapons, the bows and crossbows are prohibited from being used by the people. Even if hunters use them, they must be registered in the county government. Only military guards can use them, and ordinary people cannot have such things.

"Where is Zhang Chi?" County Magistrate Song asked hurriedly.

"It should be that he was arrested and the specific ones were not known." Zhao Hu said hurriedly.

County Magistrate Song carried his hands on his back, like an ant on a hot pan in the woodshed. If Zhang Chi died, it would be fine. If he didn't die and fell into the hands of the Jinyiwei, he would probably be able to spit out anything.

Fortunately, Zhang Chi didn't know much, but he was doomed.

"Old Wang, please inform Wang Heng immediately and ask him to burn all the books in the cloth shop and then run away by yourself. Go quickly." County Magistrate Song hurriedly ordered.

At that moment, the old butler turned around and headed outside.

"Master, now you have to run away quickly. The green mountains are there, so you are not afraid of burning firewood." Zhao Hu hurriedly advised.

"Good brother, I will not forget you." County Magistrate Song said lightly, but as soon as he finished speaking, he squatted down and took out a dagger from his official boots, and stabbed him directly into Zhao Hu's heart.

Zhao Hu stared at his cowbell-like eyes and grabbed Song County Magistrate's hand tightly. After a moment, he collapsed on the pile of firewood.

County Magistrate Song pulled the dagger back, wiped it on the weeds, put it in his official boots, turned around and headed towards the front door.

When they went out, they rode on their horses and headed towards the city gate without looking back. At this moment, the city gate had already opened. The officers and soldiers guarding the city gate all hurriedly bowed when they saw that it was County Magistrate Song.

The wife of the County Magistrate Song went out early in the morning these days, and they were not surprised, but they would always say hello to them. Today, they rode by horse, which made the officers and soldiers feel unhappy.

"Aren't you just a poor official? Why are you so arrogant?"

"Poor officials are also officials. If you have the ability, do you go to take the exam for a scholar?"

“….”

County Magistrate Song didn't hear anything and just ran forward. After a while, he had already run out for seven or eight miles. Looking back at Yongkang County getting smaller and smaller, he finally breathed a sigh of relief.

Although he ran out, it was a pity that the family and all the young family in the family could not escape. What he felt most distressed was that his concubine had just married a few days ago, and now he was in vain.

After calming down, County Magistrate Song thought that if the Jinyiwei could not catch him, even if the line was broken, the most troublesome thing now was that Zhang Chi was still alive. Although he didn't know much, living was a threat.

The Jinyiwei will definitely transport Zhang Chi to Jinhua Mansion for detention. After all, Yongkang is too young and not safe. Thinking of this, County Magistrate Song's eyes suddenly became ferocious and he said to himself: "You can't survive. Even if the Jinyiwei can't catch me, the master above will not be able to bypass me. It's better to fight and kill Zhang Chi, and maybe there is still hope of survival."

Thinking of this, County Magistrate Song rushed down the path towards Jiaodao City.
