    After coming out of farmer Zhang Laoshi's house, Zhao Ran and Pei Zhongze were a little confused for a moment.

    According to Zhang Laoshi, a man in black took shelter from the rain under the eaves of the firewood house that night. After the rain stopped, he left immediately.  But the problem is, the perpetrator of the massacre in Lujiazhuang should be a monk, and his cultivation is relatively exquisite. How could he reveal his secrets just because he took shelter from the rain?  Although Zhang Laoshi did not step out of the house, even if it was covered by the sound of thunder and rain, the movement could never be hidden from the ears of the murderer. How could the murderer remain silent and not kill anyone?

    After a while, the Fangtang inspector of Wanxiangyuan and the county government team leader came over to report. After they confirmed that if Zhang Laoshi saw it correctly, the man in black carrying a pair of judge pens was probably a famous ""  "The King of Hell with the Golden Pen" Zou Fengzhi.  This gentleman's house is by the creek in the south of Zhongjiang County. The inspector and the squad leader agreed, do you want to go and arrest him?

    ¡° Zou Fengzhi may be well-known in the martial arts world, but she is not a practitioner. At this point, the clues to the case have almost come to an end.

    Zhao Ran was uninterested and said casually: "You might as well ask a few people to find out where he went that night."

    Seeing the delighted expressions of the inspector and the squad leader, Pei Zhongze quickly warned: "No extortion or threats, just asking questions, be polite in your words, do you understand?"

    The inspector and the squad leader agreed and then went about their own business. Pei Zhongze said to Zhao Ran: "These killers are probably trying to get benefits. If they don't make it clear in advance, they might harm the Zou family in vain."

    Zhao Ran nodded and said: "Senior brother, let's find a place to wait. The search in the south direction is almost complete. Let's see if there is any news from the east and west."

    Pei Zhongze asked: "What if there is still no one?"

    Zhao Ran shook his head: "If there are still no clues, I'm afraid I have no choice but to go back to Zhongyang Mountain and find a way to deceive the Wu brothers"

    Pei Zhongze said in surprise: "Do you doubt them?"

    Zhao Ran spread his hands: "I doubt anyone involved in this case. So far, only the Wu brothers are involved in the case"

    Pei Zhongze frowned: "It shouldn't be them."

    Zhao Ran said: "Just try your luck."

    There was a tea stall beside the official road. The yamen officials had already cleared the tea stall and set it aside to serve them.  The two of them were having tea and chatting in the tea stall. Taoist priests, firemen from Wanxiang Yuan, and Yamen servants from the Yamen gathered around the tea stall to set a curfew, which was quite impressive.

    After noon, more than ten groups that went to the east and west directions returned one after another. The investigation results reported back were numerous, but they were all trivial matters. As far as Zhao Ran was concerned, none of them were worthy of investigation.  Above.  In the evening, all the personnel sent out had returned, and everyone was waiting for the next order from Zhao Ran and Pei Zhongze.

    Zhao Ran smiled bitterly and said: "It seems that the investigation was ineffective, and the two days of trouble were in vain."

    Pei Zhongze consoled him: "It's no wonder. The murderer is a practitioner after all. How can he show his flaws so easily"

    Just as he was talking, he saw a government official riding a big horse galloping towards him. When he got close to the tea stall, he dismounted and reported to the two of them: "Two immortal masters, Zou Fengzhi has run away. Wei Tangtou and Zhang Bantou asked Xiao  They came to report that they wanted to send more men to the Green Willow Forest in the south of the city to round up the man named Zou!"

    Zhao Ran was startled: "Why is he running?"

    Pei Zhongze frowned slightly: "Are you trying to intimidate others?"

    The yamen officer argued: "The Immortal Master has already warned me that I would dare to mess around. As soon as I knocked on the door of Zou's house, that guy slipped out of the back door. If Team Leader Zhang hadn't arranged for his brothers to keep an eye on the backyard in advance, he would still have done it.  I really let him run away. That guy is very hard-working and his legs and feet are very fast. There are only a few people there, so we can¡¯t surround him. Sun Laosan took advantage of him, and now he has lost his fortune."

    Zhao Ran asked the yamen servant: "Do you want me to wait and take action?"

    The officer smiled and said: "The two immortal masters are just waiting for the good news. Although Zou Fengzhi's kung fu is good, Tangtou Wei alone can do it. What's more, with the help of Bantou Zhang, as long as the forest is surrounded, the man named Zou will run away."  No."

    With the permission of Pei Zhongze and Zhao Ran, the Yamen servant gathered more than thirty people, each riding a fast horse and followed closely.  If it weren't for the lack of horses, Zhao Ran would have wanted him to bring more people - after all, the area was surrounded by woods, and if there were fewer people, he would be really afraid of loopholes.  Now that this is the only clue, Zhao Ran and Pei Zhongze can only hope for this.

    After drinking another cup of tea, Pei Zhongze couldn't sit still and said to Zhao Ran: "Junior brother, why don't you and I go too."

    Zhao Ran agreed, mounted his old donkey, rode side by side with Pei Zhongze, and rushed towards the green willow forest in the south of the county.  Dozens of Taoist priests, fire workers and government servants followed behind the horse, running around in a hurry.

    These government officials all recognize the truth, and one line after anotherAfter wandering for an hour, we finally arrived at the Green Willow Forest.  This forest is next to a small stream, not far from Zou's house. The forest is not dense, but it is dark at the moment, so it is difficult to see the details inside.

    There was a government officer who was posted outside the forest, holding a fire and a lantern ball, and ran over to meet him. Pei Zhongze asked: "Where is the person? Have you caught him?"

    Several government officials said: "Tangtou Wei and Bantou Zhang are searching in the woods, but we don't know what happened."

    Suddenly, I saw scattered fire coming from the forest. Two government officials rushed over to check, and then shouted out of the forest: "Caught! Caught!"

    I saw a group of people swarming out of the forest holding torches. The leaders were Tangtou Wei and Bantou Zhang. Behind them, there was a big man who was tied up and pushed out by the government officials.

    Hall leader Wei bowed happily and said: "Master Immortal, this is the man named Zou! You are a thief, you hurt one of our brothers, you really don't know whether to live or die!"

    Looking at Zou Fengzhi who was pushed to kneel in front of him, Pei Zhongze was about to ask, "It's okay, why are you running away?", but Zhao Ran tugged his sleeve.

    Zhao Ran said coldly with a dark face: "Zou Fengzhi, your case has been committed. Tell me, do you want to die or live?"

    Zou Fengzhi raised his head and looked at Pei Zhongze and Zhao Ran. Zhang Bantou slapped his head down, pressed his neck and said: "These are two immortal masters from the Taoist sect. There is no way to offend! Keep your head down and speak!"

    Zou Fengzhi sighed and said: "Zou has been out of his mind these past few days. He can't eat well and can't sleep. It's good now. Since the incident happened, he doesn't have to worry about it all day long. Now he feels at ease."

    Zhao Ran said "hmm" and said, "Let's talk about it."

    Zou Fengzhi closed her eyes for a moment, then took a deep breath and said: "I killed Li Mazi. I admit it, but it has nothing to do with Aunt Zhao. She doesn't know anything. Don't implicate her in this matter. I will bear all the blame."  " Then he recounted the details of that day's case.

    After Zou Fengzhi finished speaking, he was dragged to a distant place to wait for orders. Tangtou Wei and Bantou Zhang explained the confession, and the case became clear.

    Li Mazi¡¯s name was Li Zhong, so he was named Li Mazi because his face was pockmarked. He lived in Shehong County and was also a famous swordsman in the world. He was very similar to Zou Fengzhi, and he was one of the few masters in the martial arts world of Long¡¯an Prefecture.  .  Because they were not far apart, Zou Fengzhi often visited Li's house to compete with Li Zhong in martial arts and laugh about anecdotes in the world.

    Last March, Li Zhong brought back a Yangzhou thin horse from Jiangnan and married her as a concubine, named Aunt Zhao.  When Zou Fengzhi went to visit Li Zhong one day, she saw this Aunt Zhao, and her soul was immediately taken away.  Although he was not handsome in appearance, he was much better than Li Zhong, who had a pockmarked face, and he was also good at poetry. He soon began to flirt with Aunt Zhao, and eventually fell in love with her.

    A few days ago, Li Zhong had to go out again. It was said that he would not be back for at least half a month or at most a month. Aunt Zhao quickly sent a message to Zou Fengzhi. After Li Zhong left, Zou Fengzhi rushed to Li's house.  He was generous and had already taken care of the ten or so servants of the Li family, so he lived in them grandly, like a master.

    "It's just that when he and Aunt Zhao were in love, that is, on the night of the thunderstorm, Li Zhong suddenly came back.  Zou Fengzhi, who was hit by the collision, violently injured others. Caught off guard, Li Zhong died on the spot.

    Zou Fengzhi and Aunt Zhao discussed it and told the public that Li Zhong had gone out and never returned. Then Zou Fengzhi climbed over the wall and took the body away and buried it in the wilderness.

    This is what happened to the case. Zou Fengzhi confessed and put all the blame on himself. In the end, he couldn't help but ask: "Although this case is not small, why did it alarm the two immortal masters?"

    Pei Zhongze and Zhao Ran looked at each other speechlessly, both frustrated.
