Chapter 34 What does he have to rely on?
Chang Ying half-closed her eyes and looked behind, her brows furrowed tightly.

If Cheng Xiao is lying, can it be considered that Fang Tong was killed by Cheng Xiao?
She suddenly took a pair of thin silk gloves from Zi Xiang's hand, and walked back to the corpse.

The corpse was already hard, and there were no traces of dryness or torture from the body.She is neither a policeman nor a coordinator, but she can also see that death is definitely not a matter of today.

When she went to the yamen to inquire about Fang Tong, it was the day after the accident in the mansion, so even if she hadn't been killed since she went to the yamen to look for him, at least it was not long after that.

It is true that Fang Tong died in the previous life, but he was killed by gangsters. In this life, it is impossible to be the man in black again?
"My lord! I found a ledger behind the corpse!"

He was making a quick turn in his mind, at this time a policeman hurried over and brought Ben Lanpi to Cheng Xiao.

Cheng Xiao took the account book, flipped through two pages, and immediately closed it with a snap: "There is such a thing! Immediately report this matter to the magistrate, make a copy of this account book, and send it over as well!
"Also, come here, search immediately! Move all the valuables out of the house!"

Changying said, "What ledger?"

"General Shen!" Cheng Xiao clasped his hands to her, "This matter does not seem to be simple. Don't be afraid of the general's jokes, this account book is all evidence of Fang Tong's extortion and acceptance of bribes over the years!
"I've worked with him for many years, and I never thought of him... Sigh, I just said why he can't think about it so much, cooperating with him is actually committing suicide in fear of crime!"

The voice was loud and powerful, and it was completely different from the grief just now.

Changying looked at him: "That's strange, and no one checked him, why did he suddenly want to commit suicide in fear of crime?"

Cheng Xiao said: "The silver taels on this ledger are at least three to fifty thousand taels, which is not something he can bear!
"Besides, the gang of men in black came to commit crimes a few days ago, and the Fang family was also held hostage among them. The general never suspected that those people might be targeting him?"

Changying smiled, looked at him and said nothing.

She might believe that Fang Tong took bribes, but said he committed suicide in fear of crime?

Do you take her for an idiot?

On second thought, she glanced at him again.

Maybe Cheng Xiao wasn't being stupid, he was blatantly not paying attention to her, and he didn't care whether she doubted or not.

She is a member of the military family, and arresting bandits may be her duty, but this public case involving punishment has nothing to do with her.

Not to mention that she has no right to intervene, even if Tan Shao comes, it will not help, at most it will be able to make a deal.

But Cheng Xiao has the prefect of Huzhou above him, and Luo Yuan and the crown prince above him, how easy is it to cover up a small murder case?
Cheng Xiao gave the statement that Fang Tong committed suicide in fear of crime in front of her, clearly trying to fool her.

The reason why Fang Tong was killed in his previous life is most likely because he held many secrets about Cheng Xiao's relationship with Beijing.

When the other party got something, they would naturally silence them all.

And in this life, Cheng Xiao didn't die, and neither did he, so naturally he became one of the key figures.

Cheng Xiao didn't want anyone else to know about his affairs. The best way was to kill him, at least, from now on, she could stop Shen Changying from pursuing her...

So, when Cheng Xiao went through what happened that night and at the same time was wary of her, he simply killed Fang Tong first.

But he can completely hide the news of Fang Tong's killing, and wait until she leaves Changxing after half a month expires. Isn't it just to let her leave quickly by revealing the secret at this time?

If she wanted to stay, he couldn't stop her.Even if she doesn't live in this state capital, she can still live outside.

And how did he suddenly give up his pretentious flattery to her and turned into such a naked and direct provocation?

——That's right, although Fang Tong's death is shocking news, Cheng Xiao's purpose is not to cover up the cause of his death, he doesn't even delay, or spend some effort to make this "suicide" decent If you don't bother to do it, what is it if it's not a provocation?

Thinking of this, she turned her eyes to Cheng Xiao again, and said with a slight smile, "Master Cheng is quick-witted, which is really admirable."

Cheng Xiao said seriously: "To tell you the truth, before the general arrived, I was already very puzzled by this matter, thinking about it, this is the only possibility.

"Of course, I don't have any evidence right now. If there is a misjudgment, I hope the general will not take it seriously. Everything will be determined after the magistrate comes to judge."

There was a bright light in his eyes, and he did not evade her questions.

Changying glanced at him, then shifted her gaze to Mrs. Fang and her children.

Mrs. Fang hugged her children tightly and looked at the policemen who searched inside. Her eyes were filled with sadness and confusion. She wondered if she was stunned by the accident. From the beginning to the end, Changying didn't hear a word from her, not even a few words of defense for her husband. none.

"A few days ago, the case of sneaking into the magistrate's mansion to murder the imperial court official has not yet been solved, and I suspect that this matter is involved.

"Pass my order, first put Mrs. Fang, Mr. Fang and other people under strict guard. Then Zhou Liang hurried back to the guard to report to General Tan, saying that the case was so complicated that even the magistrate was alarmed. Please come over with General Tan preside over the interrogation."

Cheng Xiao's eyes froze: "What does General Shen mean?"

Changying twitched the corners of her mouth: "People have been killed for several days, and the situation is getting more and more serious. I think Mr. Cheng's move is good. You invite Mr. Zhifu, and I invite General Tan. With the two of them sitting in the battle, I believe There will be results soon."

Cheng Xiao's expression froze for a moment, and the eyes looking at his back had become gloomy.

Back to Chang Yunxuan, everyone present followed.

"The man must have been killed by Cheng Xiao! He was trying to silence him!" Shaoqing knocked on the table as soon as he entered the door. died?
"Now that he's dead, no one will know about Cheng Xiao's affairs anymore, but he's completely gone!"

Changying let him scold him, and didn't want to say anything right now.

Fang Tong's death is very particular.He was appointed by the imperial court and was recommended by Luo Yuan to serve as a co-prefect. He was dragged along with Cheng Xiao without exception in the two lifetimes. If Cheng Xiao had an extremely important case, then Fang Tong must have Participate too.

But she has no right to pursue this matter.

That is to say, does Fang Tong's death have anything to do with Cheng Xiao? In fact, she, Shen Changying, can't do anything to Cheng Xiao, but he still opened up the matter for her to see, and suddenly treated her very badly. Change, isn't this what makes people even more strange?
Isn't he afraid that she will get in the way?

"This matter is a bit strange." She said, "Does Cheng Xiao have any ulterior motives?"
