Chapter 429: Honest Official

"My lords, what are you doing?"

When the woman saw so many Xuanjia guards wearing Xuanjia outside the door, her face suddenly showed a panicked expression, like a frightened little white rabbit.

It's no wonder she was afraid, what Tan Fang committed could actually kill the Nine Clan.

It's just that the case is said to be closed but not yet closed, and it is apparently closed even if it is said to be unfinished, so no one will touch her for the time being, but it does not mean that no one will touch her in the future.

Liu Yuan whispered behind Han Zheng: "Sir, this woman is Tan Fang's wife Pan Qiaoniang."

Han Zheng nodded and said to Pan Qiaoniang: "Madam, please don't panic. We are here just to ask about Tan Fang's case."

"My lords, please come in."

Pan Qiaoniang brought everyone inside, and Han Zheng took a look at the courtyard and the house. It was spacious and clean, and there was nothing too out of the ordinary or strange.

Everything is in line with Tan Fang's style of a fifth-grade official without corruption.

After serving everyone a cup of tea, Pan Qiaoniang said with red eyes: "Several adults, since my husband's death, several waves of people have come here.

There are those from the Demon Division, the government officials from Shuntian Prefecture, and the people from the Metropolitan Procuratorate. All the servants have told you this countless times.

My husband committed a heinous crime and deserved his death. The slave family knows nothing about it, but if the higher-ups want to implicate the family members, the slave family will not escape. "

Pan Qiaoniang looked so ecstatic that I actually felt pity for her.

It's just that the few people present have all come from countless missions in the Dang Mo Division, and they have been killed in mountains of corpses and seas of blood. No one will be moved by female sex, including the youngest and least experienced Chu Xinghe.

Han Zheng said calmly: "Madam, don't be afraid, we are only here to investigate, not to convict.

People in the past are asking about people in the past, and we have to ask in person before we can have an idea, right?

May I ask, madam, what do you think of Tan Fang? "

Pan Qiaoniang was stunned for a moment, as if she didn't expect Han Zheng to ask such a question.

Those who came before asked about whether Tan Fang had colluded with the outside world, whether he had seen any suspicious people, etc.

After a pause, Pan Qiaoniang whispered softly: "My husband is a good man and an upright official.

Although the position of the fifth-rank Beijing official is not high, it is definitely not low. The other fifth-rank officials are surrounded by family members, but the husband has no intention of marrying another concubine.

The slave family has no children. Even if the slave family mentions marrying a concubine, the husband will not agree, for fear that the slave family will be angry with other women.

Also, although my husband is just a doctor in the weapons department, the weapons department is a very lucrative department.

But the husband has never been greedy for money. Including this house, the husband used the salary accumulated over the years, and even the slave family sold some dowry before buying it.

Moreover, my husband attaches great importance to filial piety. As soon as he took root in the capital, he wanted to bring his parents back from his hometown to enjoy their happiness. Unexpectedly, my parents-in-law were caught by the evil thieves of the Wenxiang Sect and used to threaten my husband.

Since ancient times, loyalty and filial piety cannot have both ends. My husband lives in pain all day long. He doesn't want anything to happen to his parents, but he also doesn't want to live up to the cultivation of the court.

So in desperation, he could only choose to commit suicide to show his loyalty and filial piety! "

After saying that, Pan Qiaoniang started sobbing with tears in her eyes.

Seeing her look like this, Han Zheng couldn't ask any more questions, so he just said goodbye and left.

After leaving Tan Fang's home, Han Zheng asked several people, "What did you see?"

Bao Chong chuckled: "This little girl is quite pretty, I like her."

He is just a rough guy. What he has been good at since he entered the Demon Division is killing, not investigating cases.

Liu Yuan glanced at Bao Chong disdainfully: "You know how to think with your lower body."

"If you think about it with your brain, what can you see?" Bao Chong suddenly became angry.

Liu Yuan squinted his eyes and said: "People died in that house, more than one person died.

Master Han, I am very sensitive to the death energy of ghosts and ghosts. You can definitely trust me on this. "

Xiang Yuangong shook his head and said, "It's also possible that someone in the previous owner's family died. Houses in the capital change owners very quickly.

I actually felt that Pan Qiaoniang’s crying was a bit fake.

Her husband was indeed dead, but the problem was that once Tan Fang died, he didn't even think about leaving any message to his wife, such as asking her to leave the capital first. She actually felt so sorry for her husband. ? "

Han Zheng said in a deep voice: "You are right, not only is Pan Qiaoniang a bit fake, there are also some problems with Tan Fang's actions.

He said that he was coerced by his parents by Wenxiang Cult before smuggling the weapons in the arsenal.

At the same time, he felt that he was ashamed of the court, so he committed suicide in shame.

But don't forget, this Tan Fang is a fifth-rank official in the capital after all. Although he is only a fifth-rank official, who can stay in the capital as an official?

If he really loves the court, but still wants to save his parents, he can quietly tell the court the news, and someone from the court will naturally take over.

As a result, he has been so stupidly threatened by the Wenxiang Cult, and finally committed suicide in shame. Is this normal? "

What Tan Fang did was simply untenable. What Han Zheng could see at a glance must have been seen by others before.

It's just that no one dared to continue investigating.

"Go and call the Captain Dangmo in charge of Le'anfang."

There are 49 districts in the Great Wall. Each district has a team of Xuanjia Guards responsible for daily patrols. However, their strength is not too strong, and the leader is only a demon-slaying captain.

Xiang Yuangong sent a signal, and in a moment, a demon-slaying captain in his 50s quickly led several gold-patterned captains to come.

"Tang Tong, the demon-slaying captain of Le'an District, greets the adults."

Tang Tong was very respectful.

Compared with the most elite thirteen guards in the headquarters of the Demon-Slaying Division, the Xuanjia Guards, who usually patrol the streets, are simply a world apart.

"You are in charge of Le'an District on weekdays. Do you know Tan Fang well?"

In addition to patrolling the streets, these Xuanjia Guards in the districts are also responsible for monitoring the movements of various places.

Some officials in the districts, and even some big businessmen, are actually within their monitoring range.

Tang Tong glanced at Han Zheng with some curiosity.

After Qi Zhangwu's order was issued, the entire Beijing Demon-Slaying Division knew that a young man named Han Zheng was in charge of the Jing'an Guard.

Now it seems that Han Zheng is indeed young.

However, Tang Tong is also very self-aware.

He has already condensed the True Pill at such a young age, and has become a martial arts master, and is valued by the Grand Commander to be in charge of the Jing'an Guard.

At his age, he still has to patrol the streets here, and he can't catch up with him even if he flatters him, so of course he won't have any jealous thoughts.

Tang Tong pondered for a moment and said, "It was just routine inspection before. After the armory case, we specially sorted out the details of Tan Fang's daily routine.

Before the armory case, Tan Fang was an ordinary middle-level official who could not be more ordinary. He did not embezzle, form a clique, or be high-profile. He did not even have the arrogance of other officials. He was polite to ordinary people.

And his family was simple. They didn't even hire a servant. The couple took care of the housework.

Tan Fang and his wife Pan Qiaoniang were also very loving. They were almost inseparable on weekdays. He even accompanied Pan Qiaoniang when she bought vegetables.

The people selling vegetables around praised Tan Fang is a good man.

But I didn't expect that a weak man would turn out to be a leopard. Tan Fang actually dared to do such a thing that would kill all his clans. "

Han Zheng frowned slightly and said, "Is there really no abnormality in Tan Fang, not even the slightest stain?"

Tang Tong thought for a while and said, "If you insist on saying there is another thing, it is that Tan Fang would go to Zuifanglou to find girls on a few days every month when the weapons department is not busy.

But it's not often, only two or three times a month, and he would skip work and go home to accompany his wife immediately after get off work.

And Zuifanglou is not a top-notch brothel. It only costs ten taels of silver to find a girl. Ordinary people with some assets can afford it. "
