Not long after, the other bailiffs from the county government also arrived at the scene. Accompanying them was a coroner who was called Uncle He Jiu.
After Uncle He Jiu examined Ximen Qing's body, he had someone hide it in a coffin at the side. He secretly pulled Cao Fei to the side and gave him a thumbs up.
"This Ximen Qing's skull is half caved in. Head Cao is really as strong as an ox. He lives up to his reputation as a tiger fighter.”
Cao Fei was a little embarrassed by the compliment. He coughed awkwardly and said,""Uncle He Jiu, you flatter me."
The latter added with a serious expression," Don't underestimate this Ximen Qing. In the past, he was able to fight four or five people at a time. Ordinary men were no match for him. Now that he was killed by the head of the city with his bare hands, he could be considered to have eliminated a threat for Yanggu County."”
Cao Fei was slightly stunned.
He thought back to his battle with Ximen Qing. It seemed that the process had gone so smoothly that it was unexpected. He did not even use Zhang Qing's backup plan.
"Could it be that…this guy's body has long been emptied by wine and sex, or that his combat strength has decreased greatly after drinking?”
After all, not everyone had the attributes of Wu Song's Drunken Fist.
The more he drank, the stronger he became.
Cao Fei secretly exhaled and warned himself not to underestimate the people in this world.
To prevent the boat from capsizing in the gutter.
After Uncle He Jiu examined the corpse, the process was completed.
A few bailiffs carried the coffin and led Mei 'er and Ping' er out.
Under the watchful eyes of the restaurant crowd, the two women looked miserable as they kept looking at the county magistrate and Cao Fei.
However, in front of the crowd, the county magistrate had already put on the face of a father and mother. He had his hands behind his back and was full of official authority. This time, it was not good to express his position. He could only wave his hand and urge the bailiffs to quickly take the people away.
After this matter was settled, Zhang Qing carried the pole and hid in the crowd. Li Quan and Zhou Zunfeng also followed closely behind.
The two of them were smart enough not to mention that Zhang Qing had killed someone in the restaurant's corridor. They only kept reminding Cao Fei to pay attention to Zhang Escort so that he wouldn't take advantage of them.
"Chief, the Ximen residence has been surrounded by Zhang Yasi and his men. If you have any plans, you have to do it as soon as possible.”
Cao Fei nodded. He knew that it was time to line up and share the fruits.
The advisor of the county government handed the task to Cao Fei and Zhang Yasi. The former took the initiative to offer advice, while the latter had a public grudge against Ximen Manor because of the case of the medicinal shop.
The county magistrate took down the Ximen family through the two of them without bloodshed, taking all their wealth and fame.
Now that the matter was almost done, it was naturally time to reward them according to their merits.
The other person was well-connected and had already sent people to surround Ximen Manor and the Ximen family's medicine shops in Yanggu County when Cao Fei arrived.
Cao Fei brought Zhou Zunfeng and Li Quan to the Ximen Manor without stopping. When he saw that the entrance was filled with bailiffs armed with knives, he was instantly alarmed.
There was a momentum that only allowed entry and no exit.
After entering the Ximen Manor, it was another scene.
The courtyard in front was bustling with people. Men, women, the elderly, and children. Counting the main family and servants, there were about a hundred people.
Under the guard of the bailiffs, they were divided into several squads and curled up into a ball.
The people of Ximen Manor were all frightened and uneasy, while the bailiffs guarding them had ferocious expressions. They were like ferocious beasts that had their blood stirred. They would drag out any Ximen Manor people who were not pleasing to the eye and give them a good beating.
There were also many bloodstains on the ground that had not been cleaned in time.
It seemed that the process of besieging Ximen Manor was not smooth sailing.
Cao Fei led his two trusted aides and rushed to the backyard.
He knew that the most valuable things in Ximen Manor were either in the treasury (if there was one) or in Ximen Qing's study.
Zhang Yasi, who was in charge of besieging Ximen Manor, was probably already waiting for him inside.
Along the way, there were still quite a few government laborers who were shouting and counting the rooms and toilets in the corners of the backyard. Some even dragged a servant who was trying to avoid arrest from a dry well.
Without a word, he beat her up first to calm her down.
After passing through two more houses, it was completely quiet behind them. The shouts and cries that occasionally sounded in the front yard seemed to be blocked by something out of thin air. A few sporadic cries were so soft that they were almost inaudible.
Cao Fei finally saw Zhang Yasi in Ximen Qing's study.
The latter was sitting calmly on an armchair with a cup of tea in his hands, as if he had expected Cao Fei to come.
Cao Fei was stunned for a moment, but he quickly regained his senses. He also politely cupped his hands and sat opposite Zhang Yasi without saying a word.
Since the other party had unknowingly upgraded his status from colleague to brother, there was no need for him to be nervous. If others noticed it, they would laugh at him for measuring a gentleman's stomach with a petty heart.
"Since we're here, let's not waste any more time. Please follow me to the back.”
Escort Zhang took another two sips of tea. He put down his cup and glanced at Cao Fei playfully before walking away.
Cao Fei also stood up and followed behind Zhang Yasi in tacit understanding.
Xi Men Qing's study was divided into a front hall and a back hall. The front hall was no different from a normal study. The first thing that came into view in the back hall was a large bed.
It was about 2.5 meters wide and three meters long, almost occupying one-third of the back hall.
With a cursory glance, there were no less than dozens of postures.
Zhang Yasi was not as surprised as Cao Fei. It was as if he had browsed through it in advance. He had the calm expression of an old cadre." Please follow me, Chief. The items in front are all insignificant. I asked them to check the study room last. We don't have much time left."”
The two of them walked past the big bed. They thought they had reached the end, but they did not expect to see a bookshelf hanging behind the screen. The bookshelf had already been pulled open, revealing a small secret room of about ten square meters.
"There really is a treasure vault?"
