?The state yamen, Yuwen Wen was talking to Zheng Tong. The other party went to Zhang's mansion in the morning to talk to Zhang Liu. After a long time of discussion, Zhang Li finally found some useful content from the complicated information.

"That is to say, Zhang Xiaowu, the servant of the Zhang family, colluded with the thief, to find a group of black coachmen?" Yuwen Wen asked, Zheng Tong nodded and said yes. That day, Zhang An decided to take his wife Zhang Li back to Hengzhou to visit relatives. Because there were not enough carriages in the house, he had to hire carriages. There were many carriages in Xiyang City, so he asked his servant Zhang Xiaowu to hire them.

Zhang Xiaowu hired the driver to find a famous carriage owner in Xiyang City. Later, after the accident, the government also rumored the shopkeeper to ask questions. The shopkeeper said that Zhang Xiaowu had found him and sent a message early the next morning that he would not have to hire someone and he would pay the penalty for liquidated damages.

"Zhang Xiaowu went out with Zhang An that day, and later died together. It was confirmed when the coroner was undergoing an autopsy." Zheng Tong said, and saw Yuwen Wen's skeptical look and then explained that Liu Qing, who later framed Zhang Li, probably heard some rumors, saying that Zhang An had made the idea to replace him temporarily.

The problem is that it was Zhang Xiaowu's instigation. No one knows the specific reason. According to the original speculation, Zhang An agreed, so he thought it was cheap and reliable. Today, when Zheng Tong and Zhang An's widow Zhang Li asked from the other party what she hadn't remembered before.

According to Zhang Li's recollection, on the morning before leaving, he heard from his servants that Zhang Xiaowu was kind and righteous to take care of his friends. This sentence was a bit stupid, but later she thought that this sentence might refer to changing to hire a coachman."

"When I set off that day, I met several cavalry halfway through the road. Zhang An had a great chat with the other party. According to Zhang Li, although Zhang An had a wide range of friends on weekdays, he might not be able to get along immediately if he met strangers by chance."

"In other words, the other party can raise the topic of Zhang An's interest. After all, it was Zhang Xiaowu who was the insider of the thief..." Yuwen Wen pondered, "He hooked up with the thief and sold the man's family and didn't want to be silenced?"

Zheng Tong judged that since the thief had been trying hard to abduct people, there were indeed two groups. Zhang Xiaowu might just really take care of his friends or collude with the thief to abduct the mistress. As for the driver who abducted the people, other coaches could be said to have encountered a thief. As for the later attack, Zhang An was robbed of his property, it was the work of another group of thieves. Otherwise, there was no need to commit the crime in two batches, so Zhang Xiaowu was afraid of the boss and was also an accident.

Yuwen Wen agreed to his judgment and asked Zhang Xiaowu that there was no clue about the people he had come and go on weekdays. Zheng Tong said that with the assistance of Zhang's mansion, he had asked a servant to ask questions and sort out all the people Zhang Xiaowu had contacted on weekdays, and now he has sent a yamen runner to investigate separately.

As for the first suspect, Tian Yilong, who tried his best to deny that he had entered the city in April, is also being investigated, but there is no clue at the moment. Although the Tian clan members have their own systems, they act in a low-key manner in Xiyang City without the boldness of the local tyrants as they imagined.

"Pretending to be a pig and eating a tiger? Could it be that people and animals are harmless on the surface, but they are actually extremely dirty?" Yuwen Wen murmured to himself. The behavior of Tian and Lu family was a bit beyond his imagination. These two families have been thriving in the Xiyang area for hundreds of years, although they have occupied the mountains and Guze, but they seem to live their own lives with Guanfu Jingshui.

Zheng Tong said that the world is as dark as crows, and other powerful people should have the means that these two families have, but they have done well on the surface and didn't get the handle. When Yuwen Wen was "stricken with grief", he heard Zhang Yu report outside that someone was sending a letter.

However, the messenger from Hengzhou sent Zhou Faming's letter and a copied confession. Yuwen Wen first read the letter and then applauded. He handed the confession to Zheng Tong and read it several times and was overjoyed: "I didn't expect that there was news from Zhou Langjun!"

In the letter, Zhou Faming said that the thief who robbed the business trip, Li Que'er, had confessed that he led the people to intercept Zhang An and his group on the official road in April. The confession recorded in detail Li Que'er's confession about the case.

Yuwen Wen asked Zhang Yu to pay the money to repay the person who sent the letter, and then he took out a map of Bazhou and put it on the desk to unfold it. He pointed a pen and discussed with Zheng Tong about the approximate range of the possible villa where Zhang Li was captured.

According to Zhang Li, when the carriage she was riding broke, there was an inn in front of the official road not far away. However, according to the file, the state yamen investigated the case and asked the postman at the post station when the other party did not find a similar carriage passing that day. From this, it was determined that the coachman had taken another road before the post station.

However, after the incident, the state yamen sent people to investigate according to this idea, but they did not see any village that matched Zhang Li's description. When she was taken to the villa by the coachman, she got off the car and entered the villa and had an impression of the situation near the gate, but she could not find it according to this impression.

"I think that since the thief originally planned to let Zhang Li leave, he would also cover up the storefront in addition to blindfolding his eyes, so he would probably never find it according to the map."

"Yes, paint the door and wall again. Cut down the trees around it or put a few more trees, so that people can see the difference outside and achieve the effect." Yuwen Wen frowned, and there was still too little information about the villa.

Zhang Li's wife said that even if she left the Zhang Mansion on weekdays, she would just wander around Xiyang City. The specific terrain and direction of the villa were not clear at all. She could remember the gate of the villa and the color of the wall was good.

Yuwen Wen's "suffered from" severe paranoia, so he always looked around everywhere, while Zheng Tong was the main person who watched all directions. It was too difficult to ask a weak woman to compare with these two "perverts" whose observation skills were different from ordinary people.

"Fortunately, Zhang Li recalled some other details, and Bei Zhi drew it according to his description." After Zheng Tong said that, he took out a piece of paper from his arms. After unfolding it, Yu Wenwen leaned over and saw that it was a 'sketch' drawing of the main entrance of a manor, the walls at both ends, and the roughly distant appearance around it.

"Zhang Li didn't know how to describe it. It was because he asked questions one by one before he remembered it from time to time. The biggest gain was the mountains near the villa and the direction of the villa." Zheng Tong said,

First of all, there is shadow. Even though Zhang Li didn't know the time and direction, fortunately it was sunny that day. When she got off the car carefully in front of the villa, she noticed that her shadow was under her feet. It was about noon.

When he is in a normal instinct, he will always look around involuntarily when he comes to a strange place. Zhang Li naturally found that he was in a strange place and saw a mountain behind the manor when he walked towards the gate.

Yuwen Wen said that the mountains and rivers are sunny in the north, and when wealthy families set up houses, they mostly choose to go to the south side of the mountain and face north and south. So no matter how you change the gate to the south, the road is inevitable and the road to the south side of the villa.

He thought that Bazhou was surrounded by mountains, and he thought that when he came to various places, he chose the south side of the villa. According to this statement, it might be possible that nine of the ten houses met this description. It is no wonder that the state yamen sent people to search for it for a long time but could not confirm it.

Zheng Tong said confidently that there was a characteristic of the villa that he asked from Zhang Li: "Before arriving at that villa, Zhang Li sat in the car and climbed the car tightly with his hands. From this, he inferred that the villa was on a slope."

‘What's strange about the villa on the hillside? Yuwen Wen almost blurted out and said "nonsense" but he still held back because he heard the implication. Seeing Zheng Tong's mysterious appearance, he thought for a moment and then raised his eyebrows: "The carriage is not fast and too steep to go up the hill, so it's because it's downhill that it's because it's because it's because it's because it's because it's because it's because it's because it's because it's because it's because it's because it's because it's because it's because it's because it's because it's because it's because it's because it's because it's because it's too bumpy to run, and whether her body is tilted to the left or right?"

Zheng Tong was stunned when he heard this and then looked admirable: "I am so meticulous! I admire you..."
