Yipin County Magistrate: Start with invincibility

Chapter 252 Who Is More Terrifying The Murderer Emperor

The magistrate pointed to the case file on the table: "As written in the case file, my nephew is the witness. He said that he saw the treasury officer stealing 300 taels of silver from the bank."

"But the government knows what Lin Zheng is like. Although he has an upright and eccentric temper, he is honest and won't do that kind of thing. What's more, if he stole the money, why did he tell me that the lost Ku Yin has clues? gone?"

"My nephew is equivalent to not calling himself."

The magistrate sighed helplessly: "But he is my own nephew after all, guarding himself and stealing is a serious crime, and he should be beheaded according to the law. As an uncle, I can't watch my brother's child be beheaded. And... at that time, Lin Exactly, his tongue has been pulled out, and he can't speak. This person is useless, alas..."

"So I turned a blind eye and sealed it."

When the magistrate said this, he paused for a moment, and looked at Qin Feng: "Blood is thicker than water. This is human nature. Mr. Qin should be able to understand the difficulties of this house, right?"

Qin Feng was almost choked to death by his words.

Is this seeking approval?

Looking at the prefect, he said in his heart: Is this a difficulty?This is obviously bending the law for personal gain.If it weren't for the task given by the system that is related to my own life, I have to finish it first, I really wish I could kill you, a dog official who cares nothing about human life, for Tian Xingdao now.

Do you still understand... return to human nature?

Qin Feng didn't reply, he silently gnawed on the pig's trotter in his hand, and signaled the magistrate to continue talking.

"After Na Linzheng was beheaded, the government called Ji Bugang to the front, cryptically trying to persuade him to turn around and remind him to hand over Ku Yin so that he could make an explanation. Who knows that this little bastard understands me But he refused to hand over the money. It also said that the theft of Ku Yin was not his business alone."

"I'm so angry... But I have no choice but to use my savings to make up for the 3 taels of silver..."

Qin Feng expressed doubts about the four words "frugal in food and expenses" in the magistrate's mouth, bit his flesh and interjected and asked: "Are you in a good family? Are you an official?"

"Hehe... No, the old man was born in a poor and humble family, studied hard in a poor window, and got a good reputation in the exam."

"Oh... how many years has your lord been the magistrate?"

"Well, it's been five years."

The magistrate answered Qin Feng's two or three questions in a row, and was very puzzled why Qin Feng asked these questions.

I only heard Qin Feng say: "The monthly salary of the magistrate in this dynasty is 200 taels, and the annual salary is only 400 taels. It takes 3 and a half years to save 12 taels of silver, and the adults have been magistrates for five years..."

Qin Feng did some calculations casually, which made Zhifu extremely embarrassing.

"This, this, this... how can it be calculated like this?"

"Then how should it be calculated?"

"Should...should..."

Can't tell?

Qin Feng cast him a contemptuous smile: Corrupt officials are corrupt officials, and a magistrate, 3 taels of silver is actually not that much.But if you, a corrupt official, say that you live frugally, it is too much.

"Hehe, Qin can just talk about it casually, the magistrate doesn't mind, please continue."

The magistrate seemed to be pardoned, and quickly nodded and said: "I don't mind, I don't mind, I'm just joking...cough..."

"And then...then it's gone."

The magistrate suddenly spread his hands together: "Then two days later, my niece and daughter-in-law died suddenly, and the judge also died, and then he desperately begged for death. Then it was my nephew's turn, and the prefect, And my Seventh Lady..."

"that's it?"

"that's it."

Qin Feng looked at the magistrate carefully, and found that there was still a look of sadness between his brows, and his eyes flickered, clearly there was something to hide.

"No...you must have something to hide."

Qin Feng threw away the clean pig's trotters in his hands, walked aside, washed his hands in the copper basin he had prepared a long time ago, shook them off and said: "Since your lord refuses to tell the truth, then I will tell you the truth." There is no need to continue the investigation. I would like to ask the magistrate to open the city gate for your convenience, and Qin will just pretend that he has never been here."

"Don't! Lord Qin, don't go..."

The magistrate finally couldn't hold it anymore, and his expression suddenly collapsed: "Yes, yes, there is still something to say!"

"The bank was stolen again two days ago! This time, 300 million taels..."

"So much money, it's gone! There's no trace left. I've asked people to check it many times..."

The magistrate almost burst into tears when he said this: "Master Qin... you have to help me, I can't fill in so much money! If the Ministry of Household Affairs blames me, it's a trivial matter for me, the magistrate, to not do anything. It would be too miserable if he was assigned and beheaded!"

"It must have been done by my nephew's accomplice! Master Qin, I'm afraid he was the one who killed so many people! Master Qin, since you can guess exactly about the theft of Ku Yin, you can definitely investigate Know the true identity of this murderer! You must investigate this case before leaving!"

"Master Qin, please save my life..."

"do you have anything else?"

"It's gone this time."

Qin Feng was very depressed.

This bit of information can at most confirm some of his previous guesses.

If Ji Bugang was really the thief who stole Kuyin, he had a reason to kill Li Danqiu who threatened him with a blood book.

But who killed Ji Bugang?
According to Qin Feng's speculation, Ji Bugang's accomplice should be Tongju, Tongzhi, or both.

But they are all dead. Did Ji Bugang find other helpers besides them to steal Ku Yin?
Shooting to kill someone... Is it because of the uneven distribution of spoils?

"Master Zhifu, do you really want Qin to continue the investigation?"

"Of course!"

The prefect said hurriedly.

Qin Feng nodded and said: "Well, please open the bank vault of Bincheng Mansion and accompany Qin to investigate. Since you suspect that the murderer is Ling Nephew's accomplice, you must work hard on the theft case. If you can find out the money How did you lose it, maybe you can follow the clues and find out the identity of your nephew's accomplices!"

"Investigate...you can investigate the case, I can send you manpower...but you can't enter the treasury!"

The magistrate faltered and refused.

"Why?"

"Haven't you heard the rumors in the market? Although there are no ghosts and gods, these dead people are really from my side! Who knows if I will die next?"

The magistrate sat on the chair, holding the armrest with both hands, as if he was afraid that someone would pick him up: "So until the case is found out and the criminal is caught, the prefect will never leave the government office for half a step!"

"Ha ha ha ha……"

Qin Feng laughed a few times, and sneered ruthlessly: "It's really the first time that Qin has met such a timid person as the magistrate."

"My lord, you might as well think about it. No matter where you go, you can bring a large number of guards with you. Since you don't believe in the theory of evil spirits, no matter how powerful a mortal is, can they kill you when there are many guards around you?"
