Chapter 2588 Doubt

"But my father did find out something. At least Mr. Zheng would go to Zhuangzi to inspect it. Someone who knew his temper specifically informed him of this matter. As for whether the fight initiated by Zhuangtou was instigated by someone else, that's it.

Not necessarily, he never confessed."

Magistrate Guo, who was in the front hall, said to Yin Li: "Sir, Zheng Erlang obviously has no intention of pursuing the murderer behind the scenes, so should we continue to investigate?"

Yin Li handed him the small note he had just received, "Sun Zhi is missing."

Magistrate Guo took the note and was slightly surprised, "Is he missing in our Gyeonggi area?"

Yin Li glanced at him and said, "No, he disappeared not long after leaving Xingyang on the way to Beijing. The Sun family has reported it to the government, saying that they encountered bandits on the way."

County Magistrate Guo couldn't help but was speechless and asked: "Do you suspect it is Patriarch Zheng?"

Yin Li said: "Master Lao Tang once said that you can't solve a case just by suspicion. Without evidence, who knows whether the perpetrator is a human or a ghost? We have no evidence now, not to mention that Sun Zhi is his wife's nephew, so it shouldn't be like this, but in this world

No one can say for sure.”

Magistrate Guo was not sure what Yin Li meant.

Yin Li said: "Tomorrow you go to Zheng's house again and tell Zheng Fei about this matter. Whether it is right or not depends on his own judgment."

Magistrate Guo looked up at Yin Li, is that true or not?

Yin Li glanced at him lightly, he didn't care whether he was or not, he just wanted to muddy the current calm water a little more.

Regardless of whether it is true or not, the matter does not occur in his Gyeonggi region.

Magistrate Guo was a little hesitant. He would not be beaten if he acted as a forward, right?

So he suggested: "Sir, I have to go to the countryside tomorrow to see how the sowing is being done. Lord Zhou happens to be going to see Zheng Erlang every day. Why don't you ask Lord Zhou to convey the message on your behalf?"

Yin Li glanced at him and said, "Go there yourself."

He said: "Something like fighting over water and weapons happened under the rule. Even if you have dealt with it impartially, it is still your dereliction of duty. Among the several positions now, only the position of Governor Yan is good. I will report it to you with your majesty."

It’s on.”

In fact, fighting over water is not a big deal. What is big is the death of people in the fight. In fact, the death of people in the capital is not a big deal. In which month are there not a few people killed in Chang'an County and Wannian County?

The most serious thing is that they died fighting over water.

This had a bad impact. Originally, the case was only decided in his Wannian County, and his immediate boss, Yin Li, was responsible for it. Even if his evaluation one year was not good, he would just continue to work hard in the next year.

The outcry was so big that the case was handed over to the third division, so it was no longer a matter of annual evaluation.

Magistrate Guo knew a long time ago that he would definitely be sent abroad, but he didn't know where he would be sent and what official position he would be in.

If he were the magistrate of a local county, he would definitely want to die. This would cost him many more years of detours.

But if it’s a long history…

County Magistrate Guo breathed a sigh of relief. Although being sent to another country at the same level would be considered a demotion, it was still better than becoming a county magistrate. So he nodded and said, "Okay, I'll go."

Yin Li nodded with satisfaction.

Magistrate Guo didn't realize until he left the Yin Mansion. Wouldn't it be better for Zhou Man to talk about this? It wouldn't hinder them, so why should he go in person?

This has nothing to do with him being released, right?

Although he had some doubts, County Magistrate Guo still did not go back to find Yin Li. He had to keep some distance from his superior, and it was not good to be too close.

And it seemed like he was stupid to ask this question, so County Magistrate Guo decided to think about it himself.

Although I didn't think about it the next day.

Mr. Guo took the time to visit Zheng's house the next day. When he went in, it was true that Zhou Man was giving Zheng Fei acupuncture. His head was covered with needles and he was resting his head with his eyes closed.

He changed into clean clothes under the service of his servants, smoked again, went in, and sat at an empty table in the room to drink tea.

He glanced outside and asked the boy with a smile, "Why are there only a few of you in this yard and not even a girl?"

The boy said: "Our husband likes to be quiet, and he is used to having us around, so he only uses a few of us."

Magistrate Guo smiled and nodded, lowered his eyes and began to think. He was not as good at investigating cases as Tang Zhihe, but as a magistrate for so many years, he was not stupid himself, and he still figured out something was wrong.

It seems that although Zheng Fei does not want to pursue the matter, he does not trust his family very much.

After Zhou Man pulled out the needle and a servant brought a bowl of medicine that looked very bitter to Zheng Fei to drink, he suddenly said before Zhou Man left: "Erlang, you may not know yet.

Sun Zhi is missing. I heard he was robbed by bandits on his way to Beijing."

Zheng Feihao raised his head and looked at Magistrate Guo.

Magistrate Guo put down his teacup and looked at him.

Man Bao looked at this and that, and saw that Zheng Fei was not in the right mood. The most important thing was that she was worried about the lump in his brain, so he asked, "Who is Sun Zhi?"

The atmosphere between the two became slightly relaxed.

Zheng Fei couldn't speak, so Magistrate Guo said, "He is Erlang's eldest cousin."

Zheng Fei clenched his fists.

Man Bao frowned. Although he didn't know what Sun Zhi had to do with this matter, he was a relative after all. His relatives were captured by bandits. It was inevitable to worry, so Man Bao asked: "Have you reported it to the official?"

Magistrate Guo: "...I reported it."

Man Bao comforted Zheng Fei, "Master Zheng, don't worry. You are injured now, and he was robbed by bandits. Even if you are healthy, you can't help him. If you report to the official, just leave the relationship. You should pay for it."

When people need to be rescued, they can always be found."

Zheng Fei laughed angrily, but it was still a smile. He nodded slightly to Zhou Man, indicating that he understood.

After Man Bao and Magistrate Guo left, they couldn't help complaining about him, "You knew he was injured, why did you tell him such a thing?"

Magistrate Guo, "You didn't say you couldn't tell him."

"You didn't tell me in advance," Man Bao said, "As I said, his mood swings should not be too great. If something happens to him, I will write a note to impeach you later."

Magistrate Guo: ...No matter how much he thought about it, he never thought of this.

"Master Zhou, your threat is truly bizarre."

Man Bao snorted and then asked curiously: "Which road was he robbed on? When the country is peaceful and the people are safe, why are there still bandits?"

"When will there be no bandits? Even if the world is stable, there will always be people who like to live in leisure and hate work," County Magistrate Guo said nonchalantly: "We were robbed not long after we left Xingyang. Now we don't know whether we are alive or dead."

"Isn't Xingyang the territory of the Zheng family? It seems that their family's control over Xingyang is not very good. Why is Your Majesty still so soft on them?" Man Bao asked: "Is the relationship between their cousins ​​very good?"

Magistrate Guo smiled at her and said, "No, the relationship between their cousins ​​is very bad."

Man Bao's expression was frozen.

Magistrate Guo said: "Zheng Erlang and Zheng Dalang have different political views, and the Sun brothers all have the same views as Zheng Dalang. Therefore, they quarrel with Zheng Erlang, and the relationship between them is not very good, which also affects Zheng Erlang and his mother."

The relationship is not very good either.”

He said: "This time he was injured in the capital. Before he was injured, Sun Zhi came to the capital. Just two days before he was injured, he went back to Xingyang. This time he left Xingyang and came to the capital to visit Zheng Erlang. Who knows

Something happened to him as soon as he left Xingyang."

It took Manbao a while to digest these words. She stared at Magistrate Guo and asked, "You don't doubt that it was Zheng Erlang who did it, right? Does he still have the brains to think about this now?"
