Ye Qingxian looked at Zhang Chen with admiration. At first, she thought Zhang Chen was just an upright constable who was not afraid of power and was not tempted.
She was not optimistic about whether Zhang Chen could solve the tax case.
After all, the imperial court had sent so many imperial envoys but they had failed to complete this task. How could a wooden badge constable be an exception?
However, as time passed, Ye Qingxian discovered more and more of Zhang Chen's strengths.
Not many people in the imperial court could compare to Zhang Chen in terms of boldness.
On the first day of his appointment, he dared to arrest and interrogate a fourth-grade official of the imperial court. Who would do such a thing?
Other than charisma, his ability was also outstanding.
Without torture, he could make a local emperor confess the position he used to sleep with his concubine yesterday. This kind of interrogation ability was simply unimaginable.
At least, Ye Qingxian had never seen or even heard of anyone better at interrogating than Zhang Chen.
And now, Zhang Chen had shown outstanding reasoning skills. Ye Qingxian could not help but admire these various merits.
Her beautiful eyes stared at Zhang Chen, and her red lips parted slightly."What do we do next? Azure Dragon Village or Luosha Sect?"
Zhang Chen shook his head." We're not going anywhere. Write a letter to the princess first and report what we've done." Then, he would let the princess mobilize her trusted troops to take over the defense of Tingzhou and send civil officials to preside over the government affairs. The Six Fan School would also send real masters over. This case involved the sects of Jianghu, and the chief of detectives could not stay out of it.”
The Tingzhou tax case was getting more and more involved. If the two of them wanted to complete this case, it would be tiring. The key was that there were too few people to handle it!
In the end, as the organizers of the case, the pressure on Zhang Chen and Ye Qingxian would definitely increase.
He might even have to face all kinds of threats and even assassinations.
Zhang Chen wasn't worried about whether he could take it or not. He was worried that Ye Qingxian couldn't.
Under such circumstances, finding someone to share the pressure was obviously the best choice.
Since the situation had already been opened, Zhang Chen, as the greatest contributor, would definitely take the lead.
The system was not rigid. As long as Zhang Chen could take the lead, the others involved in the case would be treated as his subordinates.
When the case was closed, the quality of the final reward would not be affected by the number of people involved in the case.
Since the reward could be guaranteed, why not find more people to help?
Ye Qingxian wrote a letter to Princess Kagura as she was told, emphasizing on Zhang Chen's investigation process.
The letter was sent out through the contact point of the Sword Sect, so its safety was basically guaranteed.
After sending the letter, the sky darkened, and the second day in Tingzhou ended.
Zhang Chen returned to the small courtyard where Jiang He was imprisoned and brought some water and food to Jiang He.
A corrupt official like Jiang He deserved to die, but he couldn't let him die now.
The tax and silver case was of great importance. When they arrived in the capital, they would definitely have to conduct a joint trial of the three divisions. If Jiang He died, who would they interrogate?
Zhang Chen couldn't kill all the criminals. When the time came, he would let the officials of the three departments interrogate the air.
If he really did this, no one would dare to let him handle major cases in the future.
Even the emperor would have a headache over this situation!
At that time, he would become an existence similar to a nuclear weapon.
If the officials didn't force the Emperor into a corner, the Emperor wouldn't let Zhang Chen leave the mountain?
If that was the case, how could he obtain high-quality rewards?
Therefore, for the sake of future development, he must not do something that would leave not even a blade of grass behind.
However, although he could not kill Jiang He, Zhang Chen did not intend to let Jiang He have an easy time. Before he left, he pressed on a few of Jiang He's acupoints.
Some of these acupoints could make people wish they were dead, while others could make people itch.
In short, once he was hit, he would be better off dead than alive.
As soon as Zhang Chen left the cellar, he heard a series of screams.
"Ah! It hurts! It's so itchy!"
"Hurry up and release my acupoints! I'll tell you whatever you want to know. Spare me!”
"I beg you! Let me go, I'm in so much pain!"
"Tell me everything?" Zhang Chen laughed silently. You already told me! You didn't want to say it before, and I don't want to ask now. Just bear with it. I won't let you die.”
Jiang He, who was in the cellar, gradually lost all hope.
……
It was the third day since they arrived at Ting Province.
At noon, in the restaurant of Prosperous Fortune Residence.
Zhang Chen and Ye Qing Xian were enjoying the delicacies and wine, looking very satisfied.
Ever since they arrived in Tingzhou, they had been busy. Today, they planned to take a break, so they woke up a little late.
It was almost noon, so he decided to enjoy breakfast and lunch together.
The two of them sat by the window and looked at the pedestrians coming and going.
Most of the people in Tingzhou were living in dire straits, but there were also many who were living well.
In the rich land of fish and rice, even after layers of exploitation, as long as there were no natural disasters and plagues, the people would not starve.
Therefore, the streets were still very lively, and there was an endless stream of merchants coming and going.
Zhang Chen sighed softly." It is precisely because Tingzhou is rich that it can nurture corrupt officials like Jiang He!" Even if the officials of those poor counties wanted to be greedy, how much could they be greedy for?”
" Tingzhou is rich," Ye Qingxian said coldly." That's not a reason for Jiang He's corruption. People like him are not fit to be officials."”
Zhang Chen nodded and agreed with this statement.
"Eh? What a pretty girl, this young master is lucky today! Haha!"
