The brothers who traveled westward in those years

Chapter 384 0385

Long Fei ordered the yamen servant to transport the wreckage of the carriage back to the yamen, in order to find some useful evidence from the wreckage.Since no one thinks it was an accident, there must be evidence for murder.You can't rely on everyone's imagination, and then Long Fei believes that Li Qiang was murdered.

The wheels of the carriage were seriously damaged, and there were signs of man-made damage on the hubs.It is said to be man-made damage because the damaged places are too neat.If the damage was caused by falling off a cliff, there would not be such a neat crack.And the crack is just at the junction of the wheel and the hub, which can already explain a lot of problems.

There are other possibilities, but compared with these, the most important thing is to find the missing groom.Li Ming knew this person very well, and guaranteed that the groom would never harm his father.Liming's words alone are not convincing, and only by finding the groom can it be verified.

Just as the investigation of this cliff falling case was in full swing, a carriage stopped at the gate of the An County Government Office.The groom asked the gatekeeper to call Long Fei out, saying that the people in the carriage needed him to greet him personally.

The one who came out of the carriage was a stranger, not to mention Long Fei who came to An County not long ago, he didn't even know the head catcher who had been in the county government for ten years.In the end, it was this person who reported his family name, and everyone learned that this guy who called himself Zhang Liang turned out to be the new county magistrate.He has already obtained the approval of Zhang Cheng, the prefect, to come to An County to serve as the county magistrate.

Zhang Liang was originally from An County, and his family moved to the county more than ten years ago.As a civil servant in the county government office, he has been working hard all these years, although he has no great achievements or mistakes.He left An County because he had no hope of promotion. Now that he came back, although his rank was lowered by one level, he still holds great power in An County.

As soon as Zhang Liang entered the county government office, the Li family brothers came to visit him.Both of them brought generous gifts, and they were acquaintances with Zhang Liang.In front of the Liang family brothers and all the government servants, Zhang Liang issued his first order after taking office.From now on, he himself will be responsible for the cliff falling case, so Long Fei doesn't need to intervene in this matter.

Long Fei has the right to raise different opinions, but Zhang Liang didn't give him a chance to raise different opinions.He blocked Long Fei's mouth when he said he had reservations, and asked someone to transfer the case record to Zhang Liang on the spot.

But after all, he is a county lieutenant, the highest official in charge of a county's security.Although the county magistrate is half a level higher than him, in some cases the power of the county lieutenant is equivalent to that of the county magistrate.Not knowing Zhang Liang's nature, Long Fei would not be serious with him at this moment.Let him take care of it if he wants, which saves Long Fei a lot of thought.

Handling a case requires brains, and if you use too much brains, your brain cells will die.When the brain cells die to a certain extent, the person will start to lose hair.Everyone likes to be smart, and everyone likes themselves and their family to be smart, but no one likes to be extremely smart.

As soon as Zhang Liang took office, he brought the Li brothers to court together.Or the two brothers never imagined that after checking the generous gifts they brought, Zhang Liang, a new official, would set Licheng on fire as soon as he took office.

The reason is very simple, and Li Cheng himself knows it very well.But in the courtroom, he couldn't say those words.Li Ling on the side gloated, but suffered from Li Cheng who was frightened by Zhang Liang for a long time.He will be imprisoned for a while, and will be tortured for a while, Li Cheng's heart almost jumped out of his throat in fright.

Fortunately, he had already prepared and sent his servants home to take the prepared small profits.Master Zhang laughed at the words that were not respectful, and found a secret place to stuff them into Zhang Liang's sleeve after retreating from the hall.

That envelope isn't worth much, but what's in it is worth a lot.It's just that Li Cheng has enough minds, otherwise, how could he have made two-handed preparations in advance.

Ascension hall for the second time, Long Fei stood aside.Watching Zhang Liang make a 180-degree turn, he had previously said that Li Cheng's nose was not his nose and his face was not his face.Now it's really good for Li Cheng a hundred times and a thousand times, and it's not as good as Li Ling's beast.

Zhang Liang changed his face faster than turning the pages of a book, and the yamen servants standing on both sides were stunned.But the two brothers of the Li family were like normal people, they seemed to be scared to death, but in fact they had already made up their minds.If Long Fei hadn't overheard their conversation in the courtyard, Long Fei wouldn't have believed it even if he was killed.

First, he identified Li Cheng, the eldest son of the Li family, as the most suspected suspect, and then pointed the finger at Li Ling, the eldest son of the Li family.In the eyes of outsiders, it is understandable for either of them to be suspected, but the one who was finally imprisoned in the county government prison was indeed an outsider who had never appeared in court at all.

He is said to be an outsider because he did not participate in the open and secret struggles between the Li family brothers.In fact, he was the central figure in the incident, because he was the only son of the deceased Li Qiang.

Liming was taken to the county government jail, and within an hour after this happened, Long Fei saw Li Xin who had been disguised.Call Long Fei to Xinghua Village Restaurant, hoping that Long Fei can help her go to the prison to see the dawn.By the way, Long Fei offered Li Ming something to eat, but Long Fei rejected Li Xin on the spot.

This matter is no longer under his control, and Long Fei has already heard it.When Zhang Liang was in An County, he had a good relationship with Li Gu, and now he is the first one to visit Li's house when he comes back.Now Li Xin came to beg Long Fei to go to the prison to watch the dawn, it is not clear that he is playing Long Fei like a monkey again.

Not to mention a living person, even a mouse probably wouldn't suffer twice in the same place.Maybe Li Xin deceived Long Fei by thinking too well, but it's a pity that she had a good plan this time.It's just that it's too difficult to operate, and in the end you can only reap the consequences.

Hearing that Long Fei directly rejected him, Li Xin immediately went mad at Long Fei.He threatened that Long Fei would think clearly, if he didn't agree to her request, he would ask her father to find Zhang Liang when he went back.Anyway, the county magistrate has the right to remove anyone from the county office, so she asked Zhang Liang to remove Long Fei as the county lieutenant.

Long Fei said: "Do you really think that this county captain is rare? It's just a small county captain. Do you really think I will treat it as a treasure? To tell you the truth, you can just go to Zhang Liang and let him dismiss me now." I will get out of An County immediately."

Long Fei didn't know where Li Xin's sense of superiority came from, anyway, he just couldn't understand Li Xin's arrogant appearance.Isn't it just that the family conditions are better and there is a good father?In the original world, Long Fei had had enough of this kind of anger, so it's hard for him to suffer this kind of anger when he came to this world.

He will not be used to Li Xin, but he also knows what the consequences will be after this matter is over.When he said those words just now, Long Fei had already made a decision in his heart.When the case is over, he will leave An County.After all, he came here for another purpose. Although the purpose was not fully achieved, it was almost there.

He didn't want to live such an aggrieved life. Although he could help many people, his status as a county lieutenant restricted him a lot.Especially when facing the soldiers stationed near An County, Long Fei had no right to ask about their affairs, even if they committed a crime, they had to hand it over to their commanders.

Just like what Zhuge Qi analyzed at the beginning, if Long Fei wants to be free in this era, he needs to have an army of his own.With soldiers in hand, you have confidence, and you can talk to anyone without timidity.But Long Fei didn't want to be like others, sacrificing those innocent people in order to fight for a lot of fame and fortune.

Liming has already been put in prison. According to what Zhang Liang said before, he will investigate the case within three days.As long as the evidence is true, he will order Dawn to be executed.

By doing this, Zhang Liang was clearly helping Li Ling and Li Cheng, clearing obstacles for them in this way. It seemed that there was really nothing that Zhang Liang would not dare to do.Long Fei, the county lieutenant, is useless, and now Zhang Liang has the final say.Even if other people still have doubts, they naturally have to obey the orders of the county magistrate.

These days when I came to An County, the biggest change in the county government came from everyone's thinking mode.This was something they changed after Long Fei came. Many people didn't adapt to the change at the beginning.But when they really got used to the new way of thinking, they realized how stupid they were before.

In the past, they completely obeyed the orders of their superiors, and they followed whatever instructions were given.They would not doubt, let alone question, but since Long Fei came to An County, Long Fei gave them a chance to raise different opinions.It also made them really feel that only by speaking freely can we truly avoid unjust, false and wrongly decided cases.

Long Fei couldn't produce any real evidence, and the gang of yamen servants all listened to the county magistrate.Once Long Fei can produce valid evidence, he can be sure that the gang of yamen servants will definitely stand with him.

How did Li Qiang die?
The preliminary judgment is that someone else has tampered with the carriage.Cause the wheels to come off, resulting in a fall off the cliff.

What does the murderer want to do?

Preliminary judgment shows that the murderer has two purposes, one is to kill Li Qiang, and the other is to get what Li Qiang brought back.

But according to the circumstances of the crime scene, Long Fei never found the box that was said to be very important.So there was a reasoning that the groom escaped with the box, so Zhang Liang decided that the groom conspired with someone to kill Li Qiang.

But this reason is too far-fetched, after all, the groom also fell off the cliff.Because two different types of blood were seen at the scene of the crime, it is enough to prove that the groom was also injured at the time, and it was still seriously injured.

If the groom colluded with others, how could he let himself fall off the cliff.But if the groom wasn't an accomplice, why didn't there be any news after it happened for so long.

In Long Fei's view, there is an explanation that is closest to the truth.

The groom fell off the cliff together with Li Qiang, and then found that Li Qiang was dead, and returned to An County with the box.The first choice should be to go back to Li Mansion, but he has already guessed who is going to kill Li Qiang.So he didn't go back to Li Mansion, so he could only choose to hide to protect himself.That box was his talisman, and what the murderer wanted most.

Why not go back to Loei?There is only one truth, the murderer of Li Qiang is in Li Mansion.The groom already knew who it was, and he no longer trusted anyone in Loei.Even Li Ming was included, but he believed in Li Hua and Li Ling, Li Qiang's two daughters.

Both of them have encountered some strange things, but unfortunately they are women after all, and it is not their fault that they are timid.Although there is no way to verify that it was the groom who came to find them, it can be concluded that someone must know the truth about Li Qiang's fall from the cliff.It's just that some people don't want him to tell the truth, so he will be hunted down wherever he goes.

This is also the information that Long Fei got later, it was Li Ming who slipped his mouth without warning.Of course, this was not said by Chong Longfei, but by Li Ming to Li Xin.

Long Fei had been a county lieutenant for a long time, and the people in the county government had a very good impression of him.Even though Zhang Liang once said that no one is allowed to visit the prison, Long Fei still sent Li Xin to the prison.Let her have a chance to meet with Liming and say some nonsense to comfort Liming.

The reason why she said nonsense was because Long Fei was listening at the time.Li Xin told Liming to trust Zhang Liang, because she had already asked her father Li Gu to say hello to Zhang Liang.

But she never thought that when Li Gu greeted Zhang Liang, Li Ming hadn't been put in prison yet.If his words had any effect on Zhang Liang, how could Li Ming be imprisoned as a murderer?
