Lin Fan gave a few instructions and went back to his room to sleep, and he had another powerful help.

Early the next morning, Lin Fan left to the prefect's residence, and Prefect Zhang was worried about the matter of the official silver. Those were taxes. If they could not be delivered to Kyoto on time, it would be difficult for him to keep his black hat.

"Master, why worry about such a thing? The money was lost in Siping County, so the magistrate of Siping County would be recovered. If he could not be recovered, he would be sentenced to dereliction of duty."

Next to Prefect Zhang, a middle-aged man in gray clothes smiled.

His name is Hou Yin, and he has a sharp-mouthed cheek. He doesn't look like a good person at first glance. However, the position of Prime Minister Zhang is able to be the prefect is thanks to Hou Yin's assistance, so he trusts him very much.

"Hmph! This batch of official silver is taxed and is to be escorted into the treasury. If I throw it away on the official road, I can explain to the above and send troops to investigate. You insist that I take a detour to Siping County. Now that someone has stolen it, it will be difficult to investigate."

Prefect Zhang said annoyed.

Hou Yin had a smile on his face, and he didn't care about this at all, and said, "Sir, I already know who snatched the silver."

"Yeah? Who snatched it?"

Prime Minister Zhang asked.

"If I'm right, the person who stole the silver was the Qinglong Gang. When the county magistrate of Siping County cannot recover the silver, you will punish him and chop him up on his head. Then the villain has his own way to help you recover the silver."

Hou Yin said with a firm heart.

"Are you sure?"

Prime Minister Zhang asked.

"Don't worry, sir, when did the villain deceive you?"

Hou Yin smiled.

At this time, a servant hurriedly walked in, knelt on the ground and said, "Sir, Siping County Magistrate Lin Fan asked for a visit, saying that he had found the official silver."

"Yeah? He found the money? Let him come in."

Prefect Zhang said coldly.

Then, the servant quickly came to the gate of the prefect's office and invited Lin Fan in.

This prefect's residence is many times larger than his Siping County Government, and the decoration is extremely luxurious, with rockery pools.

When Lin Fan saw the prefect Zhang, he saluted respectfully.

"I am not good at Lin Fan, I have met the prefect."

Lin Fan said.

He raised his head and used his perspective to view the information of those present.

Zhang Rui'an: The prefect of Liuzhou City has good work skills and is narrow-minded. He will ruthlessly suppress those who he dislikes.

Hou Yin: Zhang's servant is a clever person. The reason why Zhang's prefect has his current position is because of his assistance and has a interests in the three major households in Siping County.

Seeing Hou Yin's information, Lin Fan had already guessed the reason why the official silver left Siping County. However, he could calculate that the Qinglong Gang robbed the batch of official silver, which showed that he also knew that Xiao Lu and Liu Rufeng were in the Qinglong Gang.

"Mr. Lin, if you don't go to investigate Guanyin's case properly, what are you doing in my Liuzhou City? Do you want me to investigate it for you?"

Zhang Rui'an asked coldly.

Lin Fan was neither humble nor arrogant, and replied: "Master, I have already found out about the money matter. This matter is related to an unjust case five years ago."

Five years ago, it was Liu Rufeng who was wrongly accused of being imprisoned.

"Oh? What unjust case can be related to the robbery of the official silver?"

Prime Minister Zhang asked.

"Mr. Prefect, this case is also related to you. It is the case of the tragic death of your daughter Zhang Yingying."

Lin Fan said.

Bang!

When Zhang Ruian heard Lin Fan mention his daughter, he immediately slapped the table and said furiously: "Bold Lin Fan! You are just a county magistrate, but you dare to take care of your affairs!"

"Lin Fan, don't think you have tried a few small cases and feel that you have outstanding abilities. This case was tried by the prefect himself back then, but you actually said it was an unjust case?"

Hou Yin glared at Lin Fan.

"Don't be angry, magistrate. I know it's hard for you to accept this matter, but don't you think there are many unreasonable aspects in this case?"

"First of all, Liu Rufeng has a deep affection for Miss Yingying, and Miss Yingying is interested in him. How could Liu Rufeng suddenly kill her?"

"This is the first one, this is the second one. It's something that I can't figure out. If Liu Rufeng really killed Miss Yingying, why didn't he escape? Instead, he cried there?"

Lin Fan asked.

Zhang Rui'an's expression kept changing. When he tried this case, he was heartbroken because of his daughter's death, so he directly determined that Liu Rufeng was the murderer and sent him to death.

Now that I think about it carefully, there are indeed many doubts. However, the case has been over five years, and the murderer has probably fled far away from Liuzhou long ago, so it is difficult to catch him.

"Hmph! Lin Fan, do you think this case is unreasonable? I think it is very reasonable. First of all, Miss Yingying was deceived by Liu Rufeng from the prefect's residence, but she brought a lot of gold, silver and jewelry. Liu Rufeng, a poor scholar, had seen so many wealth and property since he had naturally become evil."

"Also, this case is our Liuzhou City case, and the files are not included in Siping County. How did you know so detailed?"

Hou Yin showed a vicious look on his face and said, "Is it that Liu Rufeng is with you?"

After saying that, Hou Yin turned around and saluted Zhang Rui'an respectfully and said, "Sir, the murderer has not been found in the prison robbery case five years ago. Now it seems that County Magistrate Lin is probably involved."

hehe!

Lin Fan not only sneered in his heart, but it was obvious that this Hou Yin colluded with the three major households and had gained a lot of benefits and wanted to help them get rid of him.

But is it so easy for me to be removed?

"Lin Fan, what else do you have to say?"

Zhang Rui'an asked.

"Mr. Zhang, the reason why I know about this is because I received a letter that states everything about this case. I want me to reverse the case for Liu Rufeng, otherwise the money will never be recovered."

Lin Fan said.

Prefect Zhang also received a letter from the Qinglong Gang. Lin Fan said this and he believed it directly.

"I have already investigated the case back then, so there is no need to investigate it."

Zhang Rui'an said in a deep voice.

As the prefect, he knew very well that even if the real murderer was found in this case, the murderer had already escaped far away and could not be recovered.

Instead of doing this, it would be better to let the case be settled like this, and I wouldn't be so sad.

"Lin Fan, do you think the case that the prefect tried was wrong? You are very brave!"

Hou Yin wanted to take the opportunity to cure Lin Fan's crime.

"Sir, if Bei Zhi's guess is correct, the real murderer is in your mansion. If Hu Zhi believes in Bei Zhi, I can check it. If I can't find out, Bei Zhi is willing to be dismissed from his post and return to his hometown to farm."

Lin Fan said.
