Chapter 341 Arresting people
Chapter 341 Arresting people
All the people in the county magistrate Huang Wenyue's office were killed.
However, Huang Wenyue himself appeared on the second floor of Fengxi Inn and was the only guest in the entire inn.
This crucial clue made the county magistrate's expression freeze, as if he vaguely sensed something strange.
After a long time, this self-important county magistrate suddenly had an idea, grabbed the shopkeeper and asked loudly:
"You mean, if that scream didn't come from your servant's mouth, then it must have come from our county magistrate's mouth?"
He let go of the shopkeeper and trotted over to the servant who was still unconscious, and asked anxiously:
"Think carefully, did anything happen before you were knocked unconscious?"
The servant was shaken by the county magistrate and vaguely remembered that before he was knocked unconscious, someone came to see Huang Wenyue.
"I remember now. Before I was knocked unconscious, about half a cup of tea ago, someone came to look for the county magistrate. That person was wearing a black robe, so I couldn't see his face at all. After he went upstairs, I packed up my things on the first floor."
"Then, I heard a noise at the stairs. When I turned around, I was knocked unconscious by a man in a black robe."
"The light is too dim, I can't see his face clearly."
All the clues gathered in the county magistrate's mind, and then quickly spread and entangled, and soon a clear line was figured out.
"I see."
"I understand what's going on."
The county magistrate raised his head and looked towards the second floor of the inn.
"However, I have already discussed with the county lieutenant that the two of us will not interfere in the matter concerning County Magistrate Huang Wenyue."
"However, although the two of us do not intend to get involved, some people will definitely investigate this case carefully."
"And what we have to do is to prevent the murderer in Fengxi Inn from leaving here."
"All the yamen runners and constables, please stay here. I have every reason to believe that there must be an expert inside."
"We just need to wait for Li Shaoyin to come and investigate the case."
"Order the master to write a notice, asking Li Shaoyin, who is nowhere to be found, to come out and investigate the case with full authority."
Li Cunxi, hiding in the crowd, calmly watched the county magistrate handle the current situation in an orderly manner.
The other person is indeed a very smart person.
This case should not have been taken over by him in the first place. All he could do from the beginning was to wait for the county magistrate to arrive.
Considering the Huang Mansion massacre, and the fact that County Magistrate Huang Wen Yue was still in Fengxi Inn at this moment, it was a foregone conclusion that something had happened to Huang Wen Yue.
The county magistrate cleverly guessed that Li Cunxi had arrived in Wuping County, Jiangzhou, and left the opportunity to investigate the case personally to Li Cunxi.
This also avoids the situation where other super figures appear inside and he is unable to withstand the pressure.
"Let's go in." Li Cunxi said to Hu Jinghui.
Hu Jinghui nodded, and standing at the back of the crowd, he shouted: "I am Hu Jinghui, the General of the Qianniu Guards, and I am escorting Li Cunxi, the Shaoyin of Henan Prefecture, here. Anyone who has nothing to do with me, please move aside immediately and do not block our way!"
The curious residents quickly dispersed to make way for Hu Jinghui and his group.
Qiao Tai glanced at Ma Rong and Chen Yiqu who were watching the show not far away. The two nodded secretly and then continued to watch the show from a distance.
Under the escort of a group of snake spirits and snake leaders, Li Cunxi successfully arrived outside Fengxi Inn.
Xue Qinglin, the Marquis of Pingnan, who was standing by the window of the room on the second floor of Fengxi Inn, suddenly had his pupils constricted and looked at the group of people outside in disbelief.
In addition to Li Cunxi, who was obviously very young, there were several other people, both men and women.
These people stood around Li Cunxi, intending to protect Li Cunxi in the middle and prevent him from being hurt in secret.
The county magistrate, the county lieutenant, the yamen runners and the detectives knelt down, shouting:
"Your subordinate respectfully welcomes Li Shaoyin!"
Li Cunxi stood behind Hu Jinghui and said calmly, "Get up."
"Thank you, Li Shaoyin!"
Everyone got up from the ground. The county magistrate smiled and stepped forward, saying flatteringly, "I guessed that Li Shaoyin was coming, but I didn't know where he was, so I couldn't see him. I hope Li Shaoyin will forgive me."
"Well, it's just a trivial matter. You are a smart man. You can rest assured if you leave this case to me."
"Yes, Li Shaoyin."
Li Cunxi waved his hand, and the county magistrate decisively stepped aside, bowed his head, lowered his eyebrows, and nodded.
Xue Qinglin, Marquis of Pingnan, who was on the second floor, had his eyelids twitching wildly, thinking that he was probably doomed this time.
"Just now outside, we have heard the whole story of what happened here."
"However, we have to go in and take a look in person to find out what happened inside."
"Since the county magistrate lives on the second floor, Mo Ling and Ying Zi, you should climb up the eaves to take a look. But be careful not to let others know."
"Brother Jinghui, if you go inside from the first floor, you should check it carefully."
Hu Jinghui hummed heavily, his intimidating expression coupled with his aura that was as deep as the abyss, shocked the people nearby so much that they dared not even breathe.
The evil spirit and the shadow each showed their magical powers. One swung out a chain copper claw and flew directly to the second floor. The other used light skills, stepped on the wall pillar, and climbed up with two kicks.
When they arrived outside the only room with some light, the two men looked at each other, and each of them kicked the two windows directly into the room.
When the innkeeper saw this brutal scene, he immediately put on a bitter face and thought that he would have to spend money to make windows again.
But as soon as the two of them entered the room, they heard the demon roar:
"Where can the thief go!"
Upon hearing this, Hu Jinghui squinted his eyes and stepped into Fengxi Inn. He stood inside the gate and looked coldly at the stairs leading to the second floor.
Soon, a man in black robe appeared at the stairs. He rushed down in a panic and saw Hu Jinghui, who was wearing a general's robe and had one hand on his sword.
"I am Hu Jinghui, the General of the Qianniu Guards. You traitors must not resist, or I will exterminate your entire clan!"
Hu Jinghui roared, forcing the black-robed man's brain to shut down for a second.
But soon, the threat of death forced the man in black robe to turn around and run to the back hall of Fengxi Inn.
Just as he ran to the door leading to the back hall, the man in black robe felt someone grabbing him.
Hu Jinghui, who had caught up with him at some point, pressed his shoulders and grabbed him with force without any expression. He actually lifted the man up and down above his head, and then let his head fall to the ground, hitting it hard.
"Humph, traitor!"
"I am the Lieutenant General of the Imperial Guard. You not only refused to surrender to me, but you even dared to run away!"
"You tried to escape but failed, and even tried to resist. You almost hurt my hand with your shoulder!"
"Today I will punish you for treason and conspiracy!"
Hu Jinghui's voice rang out in Fengxi Inn, and everyone outside the door could hear it clearly.
Everyone looked at each other in bewilderment. Although they didn't know how the man in black robe intended to resist, they were all too familiar with the crime of rebellion and treason.
This will result in the beheading of the entire family.
Then they can take the steamed buns and dip them in the blood to eat.
