Chapter 705: Saw the Murderer

hat do you want”Ye Fei Zhou felt a little embarrassed, "Look, look at the wound! It's all healed, no need to look.""No, I have to see it before I'm at ease."Ye Fei Zhou stopped moving, allowing him to...Ye Wen was stunned. What kind of three views were these The victim blaming theoryIt's like the whole Jiang family was killed, and in this county magistrate's eyes, it was a good thingThe Jiang family occupied the womenfolk, killed the unborn fetus, killed the two elderly people, and became a great benefactor who did good for the peopleWhat kind of nonsense ideology is this What kind of nonsense county magistrate is this How could such a person become a parent official Did he go bad halfway through, being corrupted by the Jiang family, or was he inherently like this, with the former emperor not having chosen wiselySeeing the young woman beside him widen her eyes in shock, Shi Liyuan comforted her: "There are many such things in the world, there have always been in every dynasty. There's nothing to be surprised about." 。Don't you believe me Think about it carefully. In your time, weren't there similar things happening” Night Wenyan followed his words and thought about it, indeed... 。Enough, I guess this is human nature. She has vented her anger and can't change anything on her own. 。Shi Li Yuan got his match, she was just a girl, and girls in this era couldn't accomplish anything major. 。“What are you going to do” The county magistrate asked the clerk beside him, “Don’t just stand there. Give me some ideas. You were involved in this case from the beginning. You didn't take less silver from the Jiang family. Now that things have been exposed, don't pretend to be clueless.” 。Let's forget about the Chiang family for now. The only thing that matters is how we can stay alive. 。Humph! At this rate, we'll be at the county magistrate's office in less than two days. Our heads won't last that long either! 。"

The master sighed, his face full of helplessness. "Sir, I've really run out of ideas," 。There are only two ways to solve this kind of problem. One is to kneel down and kowtow, confessing the mistakes made in the past, and begging the other party for forgiveness. 。The second is to use a large amount of silver to bribe him into abandoning his revenge and running away with the money. 。Both of these methods require facing the person directly, but he has always kept out of sight. We haven't even had the chance to talk to him properly! The County Magistrate patted his forehead and started crying again. The Master saw him crying and after a while, he wiped his own face too. 。Though I'm not old at the top, my legs are. I don't want to abandon my wife and children and die like this, but we can't prevent it. That man has already killed several officials who worked on the case at the county office. Your Lordship is right, it's only a matter of time before it's our turn. 。The Chiang family is really killing us, their son caused the trouble, but the responsibility falls on us. The Chiang family should at least show some remorse during this time. 。"The Chiang family" The county magistrate listened to the master's words and immediately nodded. "Yes, the Chiang family should make amends, at the very least they have to pay us silver in compensation." 。Tomorrow, tomorrow bright you personally go to the Chiang residence for a visit, and tell the Chiang family about this matter. 。Even if I die, I'll make sure my wealth is left to my children. 。He arrived here, paused for a moment, and suddenly thought of an idea. 。Then, he asked the master again: "You, if we reopen the case and reexamine it, would that person let us off" The master was taken aback. "Master means to overturn the case for that family That's offending the Jiang family!" "What's wrong with offending the Jiang family" Dwarf Winter Melon finally sat up straight. "Don't think they don't know because they are outsiders, the Jiang family got their power because their daughter married into a first-rank general's manor..." 。Now that the old lady has returned, the Chiang family claims to be back for a visit. But our office isn't just going to sit idly by. We already secretly investigated. 。Guess what It wasn't a family visit at all, she was actually divorced by the Ye family! Apparently, she mistreated Ye family's fourth sister, but now that fourth sister is going to be the future Empress. She got revenge and sent her back to her maiden family. 。So now the Chiang family has no backing, not only are they without support, but they also have enemies. 。" The magistrate grew increasingly resolute. “If the Empress Dowager brings the old lady back, it means a complete break with the Chiang family.” 。The Empress and the Emperor are both annoyed by the Jiang family, so why should we still care about anything else We should reopen the court and retry the case, exonerating that family from back then. Not only would this save our lives, but it would also allow us to make a good impression in front of the Empress and the Emperor. What's not to likeThe magistrate heard this and also thought it was a good idea. Moreover, he felt that their county magistrate had never been so clear-headed in these past decades. 。At last, the county magistrate was willing to use his own brain to analyze the problem. That's a good thing after all. 。Then the clerk nodded: "Tomorrow, I won't go to the Jiang family to ask for money. We should directly appeal in court and get the case overturned. The sooner we overturn the case, the sooner we can sell that person a favor and save his life. Saving lives is the most important thing." 。"Very well, let's do it that way." 。Once this matter was settled, the county magistrate's mood visibly improved. He stopped crying and even hummed a tune as he walked out of the hall. 。Who would have thought, having just crossed the threshold of the hall, and with a melody still on my lips, it suddenly came to an abrupt end. 。Blood gushed out, staining the ground. 。Everyone screamed in surprise, and the master at once stopped his steps, plopped down on the ground with a thud, and dared not go out again. 。The county magistrate rolled his head on the ground several times, until he reached the threshold. His unseeing eyes stared straight at the clerk. 。The master immediately understood, and immediately kowtowed outside while shouting: "Don't kill me, don't kill me, it's all a misunderstanding" 。I am the county magistrate of Xiushan County. I was just discussing with the county magistrate about re-examining a case from ten years ago. 。Ten years ago, Liu's family was indeed wrongly accused. The Chiang family bribed too many people to go to the county government to testify falsely, which led to that wrongful case. 。I discussed with the magistrate to reopen the case tomorrow and overturn Liu's family's conviction. That's why you killed too early! But it doesn't matter, even though the magistrate is dead, I am here. I can also take his position and overturn your family's conviction. 。"Please, please don't kill me! If you kill me, the Liu family case will never be solved!" He pounded his head against the ground, again and again, until blood welled up on his forehead. 。I don't know how many times he had hit his head, but when the bowing stopped, the person remained in a bent position. However, his head, like the county magistrate's, simply fell off his neck. 。He tumbled out the doorway and landed beside the county magistrate. 。The yamen's officers, one by one, were terrified and scurried about like rats, disappearing in a blink of an eye. 。Even the person hiding in the shadows didn't pursue them, instead, they stepped out and stood next to the two skulls, watching. 。He looked for a while then said, "What use is an investigation All the people are dead. Do I still care if you overturn the case or not I don't care what happened back then, and I don't care how you rule. An eye for an eye, that's all that matters. You taking lives as payment is stronger than anything else." 。It's been ten years, and you only want to reopen the case now It's too late. 。After finishing his words, he took a step forward, grabbed the severed head and the two bodies lying on the ground, turned around and left. His movements were incredibly swift, and in the blink of an eye, he vanished without a trace. 。

Night Wen's series of actions left him speechless. At the time, he turned to Shi Liyuan and said, "He's truly a martial arts master. With such skill, why didn't he seek revenge directly ten years ago"

Shi Liyuan: "That means his skills were honed over the past decade. Ten years ago, he wouldn't have been capable of seeking revenge at all."

"No way!" Ye Wenyan shook his head, pulling Shi Linyuan back to follow the person. 。Although such swift movement is rare in the world, she is the head of the Xuanmai family, and she herself possesses this kind of skill, so it's not surprising. 。Besides, living in Lin'an City all her life, both Quanqinghua and her second brother Ye Feizhou were much faster than this person. 。Perhaps this person can create such an impact in Xiushan County, but if something happened in Lin'an City, it would likely be discovered very quickly. 。"Martial arts of this sort are all based on skills learned in childhood, especially internal energy. One must start practicing from a young age to even glimpse the higher levels of martial arts." 。"I see that his light work and the way he killed the county magistrate and his clerk are not ordinary. Just looking at his age, he's probably thirty-five or six. How could he possibly have cultivated such skill in just ten years This is unreasonable!"

Shi Liyuan followed her train of thought and analyzed it, also finding it reasonable. " 。"So, what you're saying is..."

"Maybe he had some kind of adventure! Besides an adventure, I can't explain the source of his kung fu. "

As they talked, they saw the person in front of them turn a corner and then climb over a wall into a house. 。The two of them immediately followed, passing straight through the wall, and soon they were standing in the courtyard with that person. 。Then Shi Liyuan let out a surprised "Eh" and his gaze went directly to a corner of the courtyard. 。Ye Wen also followed to take a look, that man surnamed Liu even walked directly over and squatted down in the corner, pointing at the corpse just thrown on the ground: “I killed the County Magistrate and the Master of Studies, next it will be the Jiang family’s turn.” 。I didn't intend to come back directly. I could have waited until the corpse was ready to be retrieved. Tonight's target was Jiang Shuo, who gave Chiang Hang the idea and implicated my entire family back then. Why did you suddenly call me back

As he spoke, an aged voice quickly replied - "You've been targeted, I'm saving your life." 。“Being watched How is that possible” The man was clearly surprised. “You’ve passed, with your skills, it’s impossible for any ordinary person to find me, isn’t it And even if I encountered danger, as long as I didn't leave Xiushan County, you could keep me safe!” The aged voice: “That was indeed the case before, but that was in the past. I never expected those two would actually come…” 。“

Who Who's here” the man asked, a bit anxiously. “Could you be more clear Who are you talking about”

The old voice didn’t answer him, only let out a sullen groan and then said: "I haven't done anything wrong, I helped someone who wasn't bad either, and he didn't kill innocents. Have you got to travel all the way from Lin'an to Xiushan County And bringing your wife along, you two are really something! If it weren't for a bit of self-awareness, I almost thought I was a human-shaped divine turtle that deserved to be personally hunted down by the both of you!”

The man surnamed Liu stood up cautiously, moving to the side. Only then did Ye Wen see what it was in the corner. It was an unimaginably large old turtle, about the same height as the crouched Liu. It sat there like a big vat” 。Is this... a spirit beastrother's good looks and excellent temperament, giving him away for nothing to the Yu family!" 。"That's exactly what I mean." 。"Madam Jiang shook her head helplessly, “Wanting cried for days over this....
