Yipin County Magistrate: Start with invincibility

Chapter 218 Guessing the Origin
"But Lin Zheng's innocent souls, how could they let them go so easily? So they burned him to death at home the next day."

"And the prefect is also lucky. The one who died was his most beloved concubine. When the fire broke out, the prefect should usually be in the concubine's room. It was a coincidence that he escaped the catastrophe that day, hehe ...So I guess that Lin Zheng's wronged soul will definitely not let it go, and will definitely make a comeback, and within seven days, he will definitely take the prefect's life!"

"Tell me! All these signs are clearly revenge for everyone who killed him. How can it be a coincidence?"

"Killing people under the noses of Master Tongzhi and former colleagues! Only people died, but no trace of the murderer was seen. Not to mention that when the three people were burned to death yesterday, there was a curfew in Bencheng Mansion, and the streets were everywhere. They are all officers on patrol, and they can still set fires under the watchful eyes of everyone! And the fires are so intense in an instant! How can manpower do it?"

"This isn't an evil ghost taking his life, what is it?"

The guest poured himself another bowl, raised the bowl to Qin Feng and Wan Kunming, and said, "Hey, thank you for the good wine. Now that the city is closed, I'm afraid the city gate won't be opened for a while. You two may wish to watch, to see whether our prediction is accurate or not, and to see when our ignorant magistrate will die..."

After finishing speaking, Gudu Gudu drank the bowl and walked back to his seat.

"You guys, you really know how to cheat and drink."

"Tsk...how can you say you're lying? We're explaining this hard, so we'll moisten our throats with good wine."

"You are not authentic, why don't you leave some details for us, ask us to contribute a few words, change a bowl of wine, and moisten our throats?"

"You can go again..."

"You've finished talking, let's go again, talk about a bird..."

"Ha ha ha ha……"

"Ha ha ha ha……"

The man returned to his seat, and immediately laughed with his partner.

The shop waiter also said to Wan Kunming and Qin Feng: "That's the thing, that's the way it is. The three guest officials don't have to worry. The people who died in the past few days were all around the magistrate. It doesn't matter whether he killed people or ghosts. Everything will not affect us, the city will be closed for one day, and the three guest officials can rest in our inn for an extra day, our inn has good wine and food, good quality and low price... The three eat well, and the younger one is going to work."

Xiaoer also walked away with a dirty wine bowl, leaving Qin Feng at the table.

The story told by these two people was really bizarre, Wan Kunming was deeply involved in it, thinking about the suspicious aspects, but couldn't think of a clue.

"My lord, this case is really as they said. It's really strange. Could it be that some evil spirits really took their lives? Otherwise, how could the house be set on fire in an instant under heavy siege?"

Wan Kunming frowned and said.

"Why do you care about all this? The murderer is a human or a ghost, and the officials in the city have to worry about it. What does it have to do with you? You might as well care about it, we can go out of the city and go on the road..."

Although Qin Feng heard the story clearly from the beginning to the end with his ears open, he felt strange, but he didn't believe in ghosts and gods.At the same time, it was still the previous attitude, that it was none of his business, and he was too lazy to think about these issues.

Hurrying out of the city and rushing to Beihai is the right thing to do. Now the emperor is not friendly to Qin Feng because of the princess, and the eldest prince is planning to kill him. I won't make a fuss about it against him.

Wan Kunming chuckled: "Hehe...I, Lao Wan, is by your side. Although I don't have a real position, I'm half a member of the government. Naturally, I'm interested in this kind of strange case. If I can find out one or two , Find out what clues, it can be regarded as accumulating experience, in case similar cases appear in our place in the future, there are many directions to consider..."

Qin Feng sneered, shook his head and said: "Oh! I didn't even see the scene of the crime. I just listened to other people's words and just guessed here. It would be strange if I could find out something. Lao Wan, why don't you care about it? What kind of case, it is better to care more about the present, if you don’t eat the food on this table, it will be gone.”

Wan Kunming was stunned for a moment, before he noticed that the dishes on the table had been cleared away, and even the last dish of "Braised Ten Fish" was less than half left.

The blacksmith propped his hands on the table, and kept pushing the rice into his mouth. The steamed buns in the two drawers beside him had long since disappeared. They were all empty, and they all went into the stomachs of the blacksmith and Qin Feng.

"Ah! How did you eat it so fast? I haven't finished half of the steamed bun yet!"

Wan Kunming exclaimed, and hurriedly snatched the last half of the fish to him, and said dissatisfiedly to the blacksmith, "I just know how to eat it! The story just now is so bizarre, did you not stop talking?"

"Hi... hoo..."

The blacksmith swallowed the last mouthful of steamed buns, and walked around the table with his chopsticks. Seeing that there was really nothing to pick up, he burped for a long time and said to Wan Kunming, "I don't care about any bizarre cases. I am a blacksmith, I only know how to forge iron. It has nothing to do with me who kills, and the elders will worry about it."

"I haven't talked about you yet, eat salty radish and don't worry about it."

"you--"

Wan Kunming didn't expect that he would be bullied by a blacksmith because he was a handsome talent, so he stopped talking depressedly for a while, stared at the blacksmith for a long time, and blurted out: "You bastard, why did I choose you to go with me?"

"How do you choose it? Isn't it because of my good craftsmanship that I choose it?"

The blacksmith took it for granted and said with a little pride.

Qin Feng also finished eating here, listening to the bickering between the two, he found it very interesting, got up and patted Wan Kunming and said: "Learn to be a little bit less nosy when eating, and eat more, so as not to go back to the room with a flat stomach. "

"Go, go back to the room and rest, and see if the city gate can be opened tomorrow."

Wan Kunming's stomach was still flat, but the table was full of things, leaving only half a steamed bun in his hand.

It was hard for him to order another table by himself, so he had to stand up and call the waiter to pay for the table of food and drinks.

Before he could speak, he heard a voice from the door: "Where is the shopkeeper?"

A group of officials came in at the entrance of the inn.

At the counter, a rich middle-aged man came out immediately with his waist down: "Hey, isn't this Chen Butou? What brought you here, Xiaoer, hurry up, give Chen Butou and Brothers find a table and serve wine!"

"Hey, no! I'm here today for business!"

The catcher Chen raised his hand to stop the shopkeeper's hospitality, and then said: "These days are not peaceful. You go and get the check-in list of the inn for the past few days to see if there is anyone waiting to check in. Today, the whole city Check, all people with unknown origins must be taken back for interrogation!"

"Yes! Yes, the little one will go get it now, and Catcher Chen will sit first."

The shop waiter has already cleaned up the next table very quickly.

Chen Butou was about to sit down, when he suddenly caught sight of Qin Feng and the other three who stood up and were about to leave the table, he was suspicious.

"Huh? You three, stop!"
