()(The third update is here!!! Bo Long finally completed the task, awesome! Everyone can also give some help, vote with votes, and give rewards without votes!)

After Zhang Cheng gave instructions, Yuan Haiyun and the leader of the soldiers were divided into two groups to work on their own affairs. The other Jin Yiwei also began to help, while Zhang Cheng looked around sharply.

Soon, under the leadership of Chu Side, the owner of the rice shop came to Zhang Cheng and immediately bowed respectfully.

"This is Lord Zhang, the Minister of Justice. Later, Lord Zhang will ask you some questions. Boss Ma, you have to answer them honestly!" After I, Chu Side, introduced Zhang Cheng to Boss Ma, I immediately said to Zhang Cheng: "Master Zhang,

This is Ma Hanfeng, the owner of the rice shop. If you have any questions, feel free to ask."

"Ah? I have to ask another question! I've said it many times, and I really don't know what's going on!"

Ma Hanfeng seemed a little unhappy. When he heard that Zhang Cheng had a tendency to ask questions again, he seemed extremely reluctant...

Indeed, first the Yamen officials asked, then the Jin Yiwei also asked, and now, even Zhang Cheng has to ask himself, and the questions asked are all the same, just whether he discovered anything special last night, or whether he heard anything.

Something unusual or something, but if he really knew it, why would he wait until most of his shop was burned down before waking up?

"Haha! Boss Ma, there is no need to get excited. We don't mean to embarrass you, but we also hope that you can cooperate as much as possible. The fire came so suddenly. No one knows whether it was man-made or spontaneous. The reason why we

I ask you again because you are also a victim. If we can, we will try our best to help you. If this incident is really man-made, our court will definitely give you a satisfactory explanation after catching the person.

.”

Zhang Cheng said in a pleasant manner, obviously wanting to help Boss Ma. Every word he said was so friendly. It seems that Ri, who has been in the Ministry of Punishment for nearly five years,

Son, Zhang Cheng has really become more stable and mature. He will definitely make a difference in the officialdom and even in the entire Ming Dynasty.

When Ma Hanfeng heard this, he felt that what the Minister of Justice in front of him said was more like a human being. Hearing that both the court and the government would give a satisfactory explanation, he naturally no longer felt as unhappy as before.

What does a satisfactory explanation mean? In fact, everyone with a discerning eye knows that it is the so-called compensation issue. Once the court will compensate, everything will be much easier to handle.

So Ma Hanfeng immediately changed his tone and said: "Zhang... Master Zhang, are you telling the truth? Don't deceive ordinary small businessmen like us!"

He still seemed a little unsure, so Ma Hanfeng couldn't help but ask to make sure he was reassured.

Zhang Cheng smiled slightly and said: "Don't worry, Boss Ma, the court and the government will never ignore you. It is precisely because of your existence that the economy of our Ming Dynasty will be so prosperous!"

"That's good, that's good! Then what does Master Zhang want to ask?"

Since Zhang Cheng has said so, he naturally has no objection. So he is also very eager to know what Zhang Cheng wants to ask, because the more positive he is, the better the impression will be when the time comes, so the compensation will be

Things will be easier to handle.

Businessmen are businessmen. No matter at any time or under any circumstances, the first thing they consider is actually the issue of interests, because only interests are their only goal.

In fact, this does not mean that businessmen are ruthless, but it is just a professional habit of theirs, and there is no absolute right or wrong.

Zhang Cheng nodded, frowned, and said, "That's right. Does Boss Ma know that Tingyu Xiaoxie has enemies?"

"Enemies? Why do you ask Master Zhang like this?"

Originally, he thought Zhang Cheng would directly ask him what he was doing last night, whether he heard any visions or noticed anything unusual when the crime occurred, and he had already prepared his answer early in the morning.

But Zhang Cheng's first opening completely disrupted his train of thought, as if he had never considered this issue before.

"Nothing, I just want to hear what you have to say. If you think this question is difficult to answer, you can choose not to answer it."

Zhang Cheng has no intention of forcing the other party, but this is also the basis for communicating with the other party and establishing a good relationship.

Ma Hanfeng pouted, and then said: "I'm not sure about other things, but I'm sure about this. I guess the enemy must have set the building on fire."

Suddenly hearing Ma Hanfeng's affirmative tone, Zhang Cheng couldn't help but be startled, then opened his eyes wide and asked, "Oh? Why is Boss Ma so sure?"

"Replying to Mr. Zhang, I will tell you the truth. In fact, many times when I was pruning branches in my backyard, I found that there was always a person sneaking in and out of Tingyu Xiaoxie's back door, and every time it was the famous courtesan.

'Zhiling' is greeting her, it seems that

People's identities are very extraordinary, and Zhiling will always be very respectful. But one time I found the two of them arguing at the door, and they said that if they didn't do something, they would be responsible for the consequences! I didn't hear clearly what they were saying.

Already."

"What else is there?" Zhang Cheng couldn't help but narrowed his eyes and frowned: "So, this mysterious man who always comes in and out of the back door is very likely to set a fire out of anger? Then Boss Ma found out

When did they quarrel?"

It seemed that this was a big doubt, which made Zhang Cheng couldn't help but become curious about this mysterious man.

Of course, we cannot rule out the possibility that Zhang Cheng suspected that this mysterious man might actually have set the fire out of anger.

"When? Let me think about it...hey, wasn't it just yesterday morning?"

"Yesterday morning? Are you sure?"

"That's right! I'm sure! At that time, I was still telling my guy not to look at how rich Hong Dizhen was in Guangzhou City, but I never thought that he was one of the Japanese pirates, so don't just look at one person's

Appearance. At this moment, I saw the mysterious man and Zhiling arguing. At first, I thought it was because Piaoji didn't give him any money, but after hearing what Mr. Zhang said today, I felt that he was very suspicious.

"

Ma Hanfeng seemed to be determined to win compensation from the court. He told all the things he thought of and didn't think of, and naturally there was only a lot more.

In fact, this hidden information is definitely more useful and effective to Zhang Cheng than the more than a hundred corpses placed at the door. Maybe the source of the entire fire scene is this hidden information that will disappear forever if Ma Hanfeng does not tell him.

For this, Zhang Cheng was extremely grateful to Ma Hanfeng.

"Well! Does Boss Ma know what that mysterious man looks like? Is there anything special about him?"

Zhang Cheng seemed not to be satisfied with the information in front of him, so he continued to ask Ma Hanfeng.

Ma Hanfeng pondered for a while, and then said: "I don't know what he looks like because he is too far away. But what is certain is that he is not very tall. He is not even as tall as Zhiling. He is four feet tall.

About four inches (that’s less than 1.5 meters, and he is indeed a bit short). As for the rest, I really don’t know.”

As he said this, Ma Hanfeng began to feel helpless, as if he was willing to help Zhang Cheng solve this case.

First of all, once it was determined that the case was man-made, Zhang Cheng said that he would give a satisfactory explanation; secondly, the prerequisite for this explanation was to find the culprit first, so he naturally showed great

Positive side.

In fact, what Ma Hanfeng said has already helped Zhang Cheng a lot. According to Zhang Cheng's idea, even if this case cannot be solved, he will apply to the court for compensation for these disaster-stricken people. After all, this is related to people's livelihood issues.

, I believe that even if Zheng Yao is here, he will definitely do this.

"Well, good! Then here, I have another question. I hope Boss Ma can tell me the truth."

"If you have any questions, please give me your instructions!"

"That's right, your rice shop should be the first to open. I believe Tingyu Xiaoxie and Dali Bank opened later, right?"

Zhang Cheng asked a surprising question inexplicably, and I really couldn't understand how he investigated the case.

"Haha! Mr. Zhang asked the right person!" Ma Hanfeng chuckled, looking very proud, and then said: "That's right, my rice shop has been passed down for three generations. Although the store is often repaired, it still needs to be repaired.

From my grandfather to me, no one has ever left this rice shop! Of course, Tingyu Xiaoxie and Dali Bank were both opened a few years ago."

"Oh? Does Boss Ma know when Dali Bank and Tingyu Xiaoxie were opened? Are there any special circumstances that happened when they opened?"

Zhang Cheng asked cautiously, as if this question was crucial.

Ma Hanfeng didn't think much about it this time, but said with a smile: "If it comes to other things, I still can't remember clearly, but when it comes to the opening, then I remember it very clearly! Oddly enough, that was eight years ago.

The second day of March was originally the day of my deceased wife’s death.

But suddenly two shops opened nearby, and they were playing gongs and drums, which made me very unhappy, and I almost went over to argue. But in the end I held it back, after all, my wife has been dead for a few years, and there is no

The reason is not to allow people to open businesses just for this reason.

I packed everything and was about to go to the mountain to worship my wife. I happened to encounter two families who almost got into a fight over the lion dance. As a result, the opening ceremony was messed up. Later everyone knew that these two families had no idea what they were doing.

If they don't get along, they will argue every now and then.

But in fact, these are all illusions. To tell you the truth, in addition to seeing the mysterious man interacting with Zhiling at the back door, there is actually a young man who often goes to the back door at night to accompany the cat and then have a tryst with Zhiling. One time I

I found out that that person turned out to be the boss of Dali Bank!"

"Oh? Is there such a thing?"

It's a little surprising that the boss of Dali Bank is a young man, but what's even more surprising is that the two families who are at odds with each other on the surface are actually trying to make ends meet secretly. It seems that this problem is complicated.

Got it!

"Yes, so I also believe that the two families are not as discordant as they appear on the surface. As for the reason, I don't know."

When he got here, Zhang Cheng nodded with satisfaction, and then said: "Thank you, Boss Ma, you have helped us a lot today, but don't worry, I said that I will definitely give you a satisfactory result."

I will never go back on my word! You stand down first!"

"The common people will thank Master Zhang first!"
