Uncle Detective Di Renjie, I build a crime-solving team

Chapter 340 Murder Case

The four escapees fled to the riverside without stopping. They laughed loudly and took off their hoods.

The man holding the phoenix-wing gilded drill is undoubtedly Lin Yongzhong.

The person who pulled Chen Yiqu all the way was Ma Rong.

The last man in black robe is Lin Yongzhong’s mentor Zhang Yi.

Several people were breathing heavily and looking far away. Through the small houses, they seemed to be able to see the bustling scene of Fengxi Inn.

"When did you get here? It's so fast."

Chen Yiqu wiped the sweat from his forehead and asked Ma Rong.

"We followed Huang Wenyue here. Not long after we arrived, we saw you climbing up someone's roof." Ma Rong had an excited expression on his face.

"By the way, where is Huang Wenyue's family?"

"Before we left, Wu Xiang, one of Madam's men, had already led his brothers to charge in. Calculating the time, Huang Wenyue's entire mansion should be wiped out by now."

"It's a shame I didn't take part in this battle myself."

"We are the same." Lin Yongzhong stroked his sweat-soaked hair. "Zhang Yi and I have to hurry back to Duchang County. After hearing the news from the state, I will immediately ask to be transferred here to serve as the county magistrate."

"Okay, then Yiqu and I will go meet up with the head of the family. Mr. Lin, we'll say goodbye now."

"Farewell."

"Farewell."

The four of them parted at the ferry. Ma Rong untied the boat that had been prepared long ago and sent Lin Yongzhong and Zhang Yi on board to leave.

After the two men left, Ma Rong and Chen Yiqu rushed to Fengxi Inn.

The place had already been surrounded by yamen runners and constables. Even the owner of Fengxi Inn was woken up from his dream by the county magistrate and dragged out of Fengxi Inn. He was only wearing a thin undershirt and shivering in the wind.

People who were curious about the situation didn't even sleep. They lit up lanterns in every house and gathered in three layers around the place, just to watch the fun.

Ma Rong and Chen Yiqu were both masters, but in front of these ordinary people who loved to watch the fun, they couldn't squeeze to the front row to see clearly.

No one knows what the situation is in this inn right now. The whole Jiangzhou is in a state of tension. People without some background naturally don't dare to take the initiative to go in and take responsibility.

But someone has to take responsibility.

So the county magistrate and the county lieutenant discussed it and decided that the county magistrate would stay here while the county lieutenant would take people to the house of the county magistrate Huang Wenyue to find Huang Wenyue.

You won't know until you look for it, and you'll be shocked when you do.

Only half an incense stick of time had passed when the county lieutenant came running over with a look of despair on his face, shouting as he ran:

"It's bad, it's bad, the county magistrate and his entire mansion have been killed!"

As soon as these words were spoken, the people watching heard them all.

The murder of a county magistrate's entire family is a shocking case no matter where it happens.

Ordinary people had to keep their voices as low as possible, let alone watch. Even if they were just discussing something, they had to keep their voices as low as possible.

But the people of Wuping County are different.

Instead of lowering their voices, they started talking loudly.

"The county magistrate and his entire household were killed. This is a great thing!"

"That's right. The whole family of this vicious dog was killed, so he must be dead too. From now on, there will be no county magistrate riding on our necks and bullying us."

"Hahahahahaha, this is too cool, son. I'll cook meat for you when I get back, and I'll drink some wine too, so we can celebrate! Celebrate the death of this bastard official and his entire family!"

"There's meat to eat, there's meat to eat, hahahaha, there's meat to eat, it's good that the dog officials died! If only a few more dog officials died, I could eat meat more often, hahaha."

People do not share the same joys and sorrows. Although the common people were happy, the county magistrate felt upset.

Something went wrong at Fengxi Inn, and the county magistrate and his entire family were killed.

Combined with the recent rumors in Jiangzhou, it is possible that the legendary god of death came to Jiangzhou and killed Huang Wenyue.

That killer didn't even let his cousin go. Anyone who provoked him would die.

It is understandable that he killed Huang Wenyue for revenge.

Thinking of this, the expression on the county magistrate's face finally relaxed a little.

He came to the county lieutenant who had finally squeezed in and asked in a low voice:

"Did the guy from Luoyang take action?"

The county lieutenant was still in shock and shook his head hurriedly:

"I don't know. When I went there, there were corpses everywhere. No one was left alive. Everyone was dead. Even the poultry and livestock were killed!"

When the county magistrate heard this, a strange smile appeared on his face.

"That's right, isn't this method a means of revenge?"

The county lieutenant looked at the county magistrate in confusion, frowned, and asked:

"What do you mean by that? What do you mean by revenge?"

The county magistrate looked around, pulled the county lieutenant to a place a little further away from the crowd, and then said:

"The youngest son of Huang Guogong Li Ai, who took only half a year to secure the position of Shao Yin of Henan Prefecture, and later became Li Cunxi, the Lord Li who went on tour to the heavens, must be him who has returned."

"He came back to seek revenge. In my opinion, this is definitely just the beginning. Wu Shun died last night, Huang Wenyue died today, and tomorrow night it might be that evil beast Xue Qinglin!"

The county lieutenant, who was originally in shock, finally breathed a sigh of relief after hearing what the county magistrate said.

There are quite a few family massacres in this era, and what they fear most is that they will be implicated.

Now it’s good. Li Cunxi has come back to take revenge, but he doesn’t have to kill their entire families.

"If it is really Li Shaoyin who has returned, then we might as well put this case on hold and wait for Li Shaoyin to investigate himself."

The county lieutenant thought for a moment and immediately came up with a good idea.

"Okay, then we'll do as you say. After all, investigating a case is not our turn."

"As long as we don't irritate Li Shaoyin, we brothers will have plenty of opportunities to move up in the future."

The county magistrate and the county lieutenant looked at each other and smiled slightly. They reached a consensus through eye contact.

As for the murder of County Magistrate Huang Wenyue's entire family, the two were ready to stay out of it and not care about it.

The most important thing now is to look at what needs to be done.

There was a high probability that something had happened in this Fengxi Inn, and the two of them had to focus on the case there first.

The county magistrate waved his hand and signaled several yamen runners to go inside.

Although several yamen runners were extremely reluctant, they had no choice but to go in and take a look with nervous faces.

The shopkeeper of Fengxi Inn came running to the county magistrate and offered advice:

"Sir, something big must have happened inside. If there is really nothing, with so many of us outside making such a commotion, someone inside must have heard it, and someone must have come out..."

The county magistrate tilted his head and glanced at him, then said calmly, "Speaking of the point."

"Yes, Mr. County Magistrate." The shopkeeper's face was full of mystery. "There is only one person staying in our shop today, and that is Mr. County Magistrate."
