Yipin County Magistrate: Start with invincibility

Chapter 216
"Hush! Don't talk nonsense! Do you want to die?"

A guest hurriedly made a silent gesture to his friend at the same table, reminding him in a low voice.

But the volume of what his friend said just now was really loud, all the guests at the nearby tables heard, and because of his words, they all stopped their conversations, and they all looked over there in unison, and a needle could be heard for a while.

The one who spoke out was a little guilty, and his face froze for a moment, either for self-comfort, or to ease the atmosphere, and acted as if he didn't care.

"Hmph, what am I afraid of? The magistrate doesn't even know how many days he can live... He still has the mind to care about others? Come, come, stop talking, let's drink and drink!"

The friend at the same table gave him a gloomy look, as if he was worried that he would be involved, but he still picked up the big bowl and touched them together.

Seeing this, the other tables also resumed their original conversation, but they all lowered their voices, and the content of the conversation became the case that the person just mentioned.

"My lord, there seems to be a serious case in this city."

Wan Kunming gossiped.

Qin Feng cast a glance at him, and put a piece of meat into his bowl: "Don't meddle in your own business, eat enough, have a good rest, wait for the closure of the city to end, and let's go on the road as soon as possible."

Wan Kun obviously didn't understand that this piece of meat was for gagging him, so he asked Qin Feng in a low voice, "Aren't you curious?"

"I'm curious. I'm not an official here. I can't take care of the affairs here. The case of Bincheng has its own local magistrate to take care of." Qin Feng frowned.

He is a county magistrate himself, and he is in charge of the prefect's local affairs. Isn't that a dog and a mouse?

Qin Feng never does things that are thankless.

"But didn't you hear? Those who died were all the people around the prefect..."

Wan Kunming was still ignorant, Qin Feng just ignored him, bowed his head to pick up the rice, and let Wan Kunming, a native talent, be happy.

"Three guest officers... the stewed ten fish you ordered is here!"

Xiao Er was carrying a big steaming plate, and walked over loudly.

He was very enthusiastic, and he introduced it while setting it on the table: "The three of you can see that they are from other places. This is a special feature of our Bincheng. You can't eat it anywhere outside of Bincheng. Even today's emperor may not have tasted it! Guaranteed you After eating, think about it every day!"

"Oh, good, good! This dish looks delicious!"

Blacksmith Wei Quanyou was so happy to see the good dishes coming, his eyes were fixed on the dishes.

Qin Feng was very satisfied with his appearance, and felt that Wei Quanyou was much better than Wan Kunming: people should pay attention to the things in front of them, why gossip about nothing?
Just thinking about it, Wan Kunming over there stopped the waiter from the shop who was about to leave: "Brother, ask me something."

As he said, he stuffed half a tael of silver into the second brother's hand.

The waiter in the shop seemed to have a good relationship with Wan Kunming, and was also keen on the gossip business. He cheerfully stuffed the money into his waist, turned back to Wan Kunming and said shortly: "My lord, you can just ask, what's the news about Bincheng?" , there is no one more intelligent than us."

Wan Kunming nodded in satisfaction. "Hey, I just heard them say that there was a big case in Bincheng, and three people died? Do you know about this? The guests at the table just said it was very lively, and now I don't want to talk about it, it makes me feel itchy .What's going on?"

"So that's what I asked!"

The waiter narrowed his eyes and said firmly, "The three of you must have just arrived in Bincheng today, and you have just arrived not long ago, right?"

"Yes, how do you know?"

"Damn, it's because this case is not a secret, and it is very bizarre. Now the city is full of storms, and people are talking about it everywhere. If the three of you didn't just come here, how could you not know?"

The shop waiter turned his head and looked at the counter, and bluffed: "I said Xiao Jiu, you can help me with the matter in the lobby. The distinguished guests here want to ask questions, and I can't leave for a while!"

The shop waiter didn't speak until a small man at the counter responded.

"Speaking of this case, it is definitely the biggest, most mysterious, and scariest case in Bincheng these years. For this case, Bincheng has been closed twice, and now it is the third time!"

"cough……"

The waiter coughed, pulled over the stool, and sat directly opposite Qin Feng.

Qin Feng doesn't like to be nosy, but it's not that he can't listen. He listened to Xiaoer's narration while eating.

"Since five days ago, people in Bincheng have been dying continuously."

"Five days ago, two people died first, a man and a woman. The magistrate immediately sent people to investigate after learning about it. Unfortunately, the death of these two people was extremely strange and there was no progress. Two days later, that is, three days ago, another One of them was found dead! The magistrate immediately ordered the city to be closed, thinking that there must be some kind of murderer in the city, and asked people to search the city, but found nothing!"

"Another day later, that is, yesterday, I heard that three more corpses were found! Tsk tsk tsk, so far, there are a total of six dead people!"

Wan Kunming interrupted Xiaoer and asked, "It sounds like the magistrate doesn't know anything about it, but I just heard that these dead people are all related to the magistrate?"

"Hey! Right! These dead are really related to our prefect!"

The shop clerk patted the table and counted with his fingers: "Our lord prefect is named Ji Shuda. The two people who died the day before, the male, was your lord's subordinate, and they were the judges of our Bincheng, Lord Gongyang. , the single name is Lian. The woman is the prefect's nephew and daughter-in-law, named Lin Cuiling!"

"The second time the deceased was found was a man, an executioner of the magistrate's yamen, named Li Xianqiu!"

"The three who died yesterday, two males and one female, are the magistrate's nephew Ji Bugang, his subordinate Bincheng Tongzhi Feng Shecai, and the magistrate's most beloved concubine, who seems to be called... Yan Yan coming."

"Look, these six people are either the prefect's subordinates, or the prefect's relatives, or the prefect's concubines, aren't they all related to the prefect?"

Wan Kunming nodded repeatedly, smacked, and came to a conclusion: "So it's a vendetta."

"Could it be that your prefect here has offended someone?"

The waiter in the shop disagreed: "I don't think so. The magistrate of Bincheng has always been an official, uh... not bad. For more than ten years, I have never heard of his old man having a grudge against anyone. Except for a little laziness, I have never heard of it. No matter what the problem, the people of Bincheng have been able to get by thanks to him."

"Oh? Then why are all the people around the magistrate who died? And what about those who were killed by wronged souls?"

Wan Kunming asked suspiciously.

"Then we have to talk about another injustice case."

The shop is small.

"Ah? There is still a case? Or an unjust case? Tell me, what's going on?"

Wan Kunming became interested again.
