Yipin County Magistrate: Start with invincibility

Chapter 217
When Dian Xiaoer mentioned this, Qin Feng's judgment was the same as Wan Kunming's, thinking that this should be a vendetta and should be revenge.

But the next conversation between Xiaoer and Wan Kunming made Qin Feng a little uncertain.

"This other case is not a trivial matter. The treasury of our Bincheng Prefecture was stolen! 1 taels of silver!"

"However, the government quickly caught the prisoner. Lin Zheng, the treasurer of the state treasury, guarded himself and stole it! The person who identified Lin Zheng was his adjutant, and it was Ji Bugang, the prefect's nephew. Like the treasury officer, he was also the guard of the bank treasury. , the only ones who can enter and exit the bank vault on weekdays are these two people."

"The case happened the first day, it was solved the next day, and the beheading was ordered on the third day. I'm afraid I didn't go to the Criminal Ministry for verification. When the beheading was carried out, it was early in the morning, and only a few ordinary people in the early days saw it. There are rumors that, When Lin Zheng was beheaded, I asked him what else he had to say, he just yelled, but he didn't say a word, as if his tongue had been pulled out!"

"Anyone with a discerning eye can see that this is an unjust case. The treasury official is just a scapegoat found by the government!"

The waiter sighed heavily and shook his head.

Wan Kunming frowned: "What is the connection between this case and the recent murder case? Where did the ghost claiming his life come from?"

"Naturally there is a great connection!"

The waiter in the store danced with joy, squinted his eyes and swept around Qin Feng and the three of them, explaining one by one: "Didn't you just say that? It was Ji Bugang, the prefect's nephew, who identified the treasury official! And the executioner who beheaded the treasury official also It was Li Jianqiu who died not long ago, and at that time the case was handled by the deceased fellow acquaintance Feng Shecai and Tongjuan Gongyang Lian! If the four of them hadn't intervened in this and facilitated the unjust case, how could Lin Zheng be arrested? The magistrate ordered the beheading?"

"What does this have to do with the murder of the wronged soul?"

Wan Kunming shook his head and expressed his own point of view: "Since everyone thinks this is an unjust case, it must be the relatives and friends of the treasury officer who were wronged and avenged for him and killed these people... and the two What is the explanation for the dead woman? Lin Zheng wanted to take revenge, so why did he involve two innocent women?"

"The blame is here!"

The shop waiter looked at the three of them separately and said, "First of all, this treasury official is a loner. He has no father, no mother, no wife at home, and no children under his knees. What's more, because of his eccentric personality, he is taciturn and never talks to others, so He doesn't even have half a friend. Who would help him avenge such a person?"

"That's not necessarily true. Since you are not a friend of the treasury officer, you are not familiar with him. Since you are not familiar with him, how do you know that he has no friends? I think this is an ordinary vendetta and has nothing to do with ghosts and gods."

Wan Kunming smiled faintly.

"Don't worry, I haven't finished yet."

Xiao Er went on to say: "Normal people would think like you, but the prefect thought it was a vendetta at first."

"But it is said that when Tongsan died, Master Tongzhi was by his side. When Master Zhifu's nephew died, his nephew Ji Bugang was also at the side. The two confessed that the person who was alive at the first glance was just blinking If you don’t look at it, you will die in the next moment!”

Wan Kunming opened his mouth, and the waiter immediately asked, "Do you want to say that the murderer might be the magistrate's nephew and Tongzhi?"

"That's right, they're the only ones around, maybe it's... a thief calling for a thief?"

The waiter slammed the table: "But they died after a day!"

"The prefect suspected that the two were murderers, so he sent people to closely monitor the two. During the day, the official sent out to follow, and at night, the official sent to guard outside, and the guard was airtight, so that flies and mosquitoes could not fly in."

"As a result, the room where the two were located that day, and the room of the prefect's concubine caught fire almost at the same time, burning the three of them to death in the room!"

"Could it be that they set themselves on fire in fear of crime?"

"In the second wave, the body of the executioner Li Danqiu was discovered. At that time, both Ji Bugang and Feng Shecai were under strict surveillance, and there was no chance of committing crimes. How did the executioner die?"

A series of questions stopped Wan Kunming directly. He pinched his chin and pondered for a long time, and finally took a deep breath: "Hiss...it really doesn't make sense."

"That's right, it's a vendetta, I can't figure it out, who can have such a great ability to set fire under the eyes of the officials!"

"It is said that the three fires that night were ignited in an instant! The fire was so big that it was difficult to put it out in a short time! When the fire was put out, the three people in the three places were all burnt black, and they couldn't even recognize their appearance. Is this something human can do?"

"It's no wonder that some people think it's an evil ghost who is taking his life, because it's really hard to explain! Unless the government can investigate this case, find a real culprit, and explain all these doubts clearly, otherwise, I'd rather believe It was Lin Zheng's wronged soul who came back to claim his life!"

Wan Kunming took a deep breath and was speechless. Even Qin Feng, who was listening quietly, frowned.

If what the shop waiter said is true, then this case is really a bit strange.

"Uh... After talking so much, can you enjoy a bowl of wine to moisten your throat?"

The waiter couldn't help being thirsty when he was excited, he licked his tongue and asked.

Wan Kunming glanced at Qin Feng, Qin Feng nodded slightly, and Wan Kunming said, "Let's do it yourself."

The waiter in the shop immediately beamed with joy, lifted the wine jug and filled a bowl for himself with a smile on his face, raised his head and started to drink.

"Ah... cool, it is indeed the most expensive wine!"

Although he was talking to the people at Qin Feng's table, his voice could not be lowered. The guests at the next table also listened to this "strange case" from beginning to end.

The guest on the table next to him took his own big bowl and moved over, without asking permission, he poured himself a bowl.Dissatisfied, he said: "You didn't talk about the point, and you have the nerve to eat the guest's wine? Let me talk about it! Gudu, gudu... ah..."

The guest also made a big bowl, glanced at everyone, and said: "It is not without reason that these few lives were claimed by evil spirits! Listen to me carefully!"

"Treasurer Lin Zheng was beheaded for public display. Coincidentally, the dead executioner was also beheaded!"

"Also, it is said that Ku Guan Lin Zheng had his tongue cut out before he died. Guess what, the corpse of Tongju found the day before, hey, the tongue was also pulled out!"

"Also! When Ji Bugang's wife died at home that day, Ji Bugang was at home, and it is said that he was having fun with his wife. It's just that Ji Bugang's family is not doing well, so Ji Bugang went to find Qianggen on the way. By eating loose food, he managed to escape the catastrophe! He told his wife to take his life first!"
