Chapter 192 Shen Ping's Past

Shen Yanliu's face was gloomy. He sat on the armchair, tapping the armrest and said, "Next year is the year of the political examination. If the big case of Xu Ruhu cannot be closed, it may be disadvantageous to me."

"Although this case involves a lot of people, there are no clues after several months of investigation. I am afraid it will be difficult to get any results if we continue to investigate." Tang Wanhong carefully chose his words and said carefully, "Master, you let your subordinates go to the city and find ways to settle this case. I agree with this idea."

Shen Yanliu pondered and said, "Mr. Chu, the censor in charge of criminal cases in Yuanyang Prefecture, likes antiques, especially calligraphy and painting. Wanhong, you must be careful and help me to accomplish this matter."

"Master, don't worry." Tang Wanhong said, "I asked Mr. Duan to help take a look, just to make sure that this painting is correct. As long as there is no problem with this painting, this matter will be assured."

Shen Yanliu nodded and looked at Tang Wanhong with great appreciation.

This Tang Wanhong has always been Shen Yanliu's confidant. Since Shen Yanliu took office, all accounts have been handled by Guyuezhai. When he was not convenient to show up, Tang Wanhong would help him with many official contacts. This person is thoughtful and well-versed in the officialdom, and he is very safe in doing things.

Duan Rong squatted in front of the stall at the entrance of Guyuezhai, and suddenly withdrew his spiritual consciousness.

He stood up and strolled along the antique street.

From the information he got from Shen Yanliu and Tang Wanhong, there was indeed no progress in the case of Xu Ruhu and Jie Lei.

This is consistent with the conclusion he inferred from Yang Zhen.

It is precisely because of this that Shen Yanliu asked Tang Wanhong to go through the contact of the Yuanyang Prefecture Censor and give him the Ten Thousand Valleys Pine Wind Picture.

Duan Rong walked and pondered, this is good news for him. Once the case is closed, even if Jie Daohan wants to pursue it because of his feelings for Jie Lei, the resources that can be mobilized will be greatly reduced.

Duan Rong was in a good mood for a while, and walked briskly to a miscellaneous books stand, ready to pick some miscellaneous books to enrich his knowledge.

After two trips to Ruyang Prefecture, Duan Rong's knowledge increased greatly. He heard the escorts of the second escort team tell him a lot of rumors in the martial arts world, and the most talked about was about the Dirty Blood Sect.

Therefore, Duan Rong specially picked a few more books about the Dirty Blood Sect and prepared to go back and read them carefully.

Duan Rong returned to Liulu and started a crazy practice mode again. Before going to bed every day, he would light an oil lamp and read some idle books, which was the only fun in his boring practice life.

Tang Wanhong went to Yuanyang Prefecture and came back in a few days. Things went quite smoothly.

On the second day, Shen Yanliu reconciled with Jie Daohan and Fan Yuanhai to discuss the matter of closing the case. Jie Daohan was unwilling, but as the saying goes, a higher official can crush a person to death. Shen Yanliu's attitude was firm, and he could not do anything.

Fan Yuanhai had already wasted several months in Xiangu County. He had already given up on the case. When Shen Yanliu mentioned that he wanted to settle the case, he was so happy that he couldn't wait.

Therefore, Shen Yanliu and Fan Yuanhai submitted a joint memorial.

Shen Yanliu had already written the memorial in advance. Fan Yuanhai thought it was very appropriate and signed it directly.

This memorial was copied in two copies, one submitted to the Yuanyang Prefecture Censorate and the other submitted to the clan.

In the memorial, the case was described as follows: Xie Lei, as a constable, was lured by Xu Ruhu, robbed Xu Ruhu and robbed him. Later, because of the uneven distribution of the spoils, the two killed each other in the cellar of Xie Lei's house and both died.

A few days later, the reply document of the Censorate was sent to Xiangu County, recognizing the investigation results of the case.

The reply from the sect was delivered to Fan Yuanhai two days late, and he was assigned another task.

The next morning, just after dawn, Fan Yuanhai left Xiangu County in a gloomy mood, having wasted several months without any achievements. Although the sect did not blame him in the reply, the tasks assigned to him had become several chores, which already explained the attitude of the sect's top leaders.

If he could not find a way to turn the tables and be promoted to an inner disciple, he would probably have no hope.

The case of Xu Ruhu and Jie Lei, a major case that even the sect's top leaders were concerned about, finally ended in vain after Fan Yuanhai's sad departure and the sealed files of Xiangu County.

On the morning of the day when Fan Yuanhai left sadly, several yamen runners suddenly carried a stinking corpse at the gate of the death row and threw it against the wall of the alleyway at the gate of the prison.

The bodies in the death row are usually left there for two days for the deceased's family to claim. If no one claims them after two days, they will be burned and buried.

However, the stinking body was thrown on the ground by the wall, and it groaned in the dust, and its shoulders twitched obviously, obviously not dead yet.

At this moment, a limping figure came from the alley, squatted down, turned the stinking body over, and called out: "Brother Shen, Brother Shen..."

Xiao Zongting's eyes flashed with solemnity. Shen Ping's situation was worse than he expected.

He saw his bloody face, his eyes were closed, his lips were pale, his breathing was weak, and his body was full of rotten flesh. In the humid environment of the prison and the hot weather, many parts of his body had already stank.

Xiao Zongting sighed, shook his head, carried Shen Ping on his shoulders, and staggered out of the alley.

Xiao Zongting and Shen Ping are old acquaintances.

In the battle more than ten years ago, Xiao Zongting and the old shopkeeper of Yuanshun Escort Agency were besieged. Xiao Zongting lost all his martial arts, but he was able to survive in the end, thanks to Shen Ping.

No mistakes in one post, one content, one book, one forum, one 6, one 9, one book!

So, Xiao Zongting always felt that he owed Shen Ping a life.

This time, Shen Ping was implicated in the Xu Ruhu and Jie Lei cases and was put in the death row. It was Hu Huanhuan from Huayinglou who informed Xiao Zongting about this.

When Hu Huanhuan was young, she had an old relationship with Shen Ping.

She had been in poor health for a while, and Shen Ping helped her to regulate her body. After a few visits, the two fell in love. But for some reason, the two did not grow together in the end, but parted ways.

When Xiao Zongting got the news, he found acquaintances in the government office and inquired from many sources.

But at that time, the case was hosted by Jie Daohan and Fan Yuanhai, and no one in the government office dared to intervene.

Xiao Zongting had no choice but to bribe a jailer in the death row, so that he could know some news about Shen Ping in the death row in time.

Xiao Zongting originally thought that Shen Ping was going to die in prison, but he didn't expect that he actually received a message from the old jailer that Shen Ping was going to be released.

Therefore, Xiao Zongting had been waiting here since morning.

Duan Rong was standing in the courtyard of Liulu, doing the round pole exercise.

Duan Rong had been motionless for several hours, sweating all over, steaming...

The little hedgehog was lying on the sole of Duan Rong's right foot, sleeping soundly.

After a few months of getting along, the little hedgehog was very familiar with Duan Rong's smell, and even Duan Rong's breath could give it a sense of security...

But at this moment, there was a sudden and urgent knock on the door at the gate of Liulu.
