Yipin County Magistrate: Start with invincibility

Chapter 253 It's Clearly You Killed My Dad
"Your Excellency is afraid of the murderer, it is better to worry about the 300 million taels of silver. If the silver is not found, do you think the emperor will kill you?"

"If he wants your life, he is much more terrifying than the murderer. After all...the murderer is weak, but the emperor...his guards are much more than yours."

Qin Feng reminded.

"I... I'll think about it carefully."

The magistrate was speechless for a while, he covered his head, and began to think about whether Qin Feng's words made sense.

Qin Feng shook his head helplessly.

The magistrate is too cowardly, even the emperor and the murderer, who is more frightening, have to think for so long.

However, Qin Feng has made it very clear, as long as he is not stupid, he will know what to do.

In less than a moment, the magistrate made a decision: "Master Qin's words are quite reasonable, and the government has decided to follow Lord Qin's wishes..."

Before the magistrate finished talking, he heard a commotion outside.

"It's not good! Where's Captain Ling? Where's Mr. Qin?"

A yamen servant hurriedly opened the door and rushed in.

"Presumptuous! Who told you to come in?"

The prefect was furious.

The yamen servant knelt on the ground with a plop: "My lord, forgive me, but the villain really has a very urgent matter to report! Lord Qin let the two boys who were arrested escape! The door is burned!"

The magistrate looked at Qin Feng: "Did you arrest someone? Who did you arrest?"

"The two men have nothing to do with the murder. One of the teenagers insisted that Qin killed his father, and that Qin planned to argue with him after investigating the murder. He should be locked up in the Tongju Yamen first."

After explaining to the magistrate, Qin Feng looked at the yamen servant and said, "If you run away, just run away, and you don't have to panic."

"No! Master Qin, you don't know! The key is that he set the fire!"

The yamen servant widened his eyes, as if recalling some frightening scene: "The fire is exactly the same as the one that started last night! A fire that cannot be extinguished by water... and billowing white smoke..."

"Last night? You mean, the fire that killed Ji Bugang and the other three?"

Qin Feng hurriedly asked.

The yamen servant nodded: "Exactly!"

Why is fire so evil that even water can't put it out?
And fire is fire, how can you tell the difference from last night?

Qin Feng suddenly remembered the white powder he saw in Tongzhi's burned house.

Water can't be put out... Could it be...

"No, I have to go and see! You, lead the way! Lao Wan, go!"

Qin Feng greeted the yamen servant, took Wan Kunming and rushed out. When he reached the door, Qin Feng turned his head and said to the magistrate: "Please prepare for the magistrate. Qin will go to have a look and go back. Later, I will go to the bank with the magistrate." Look for clues."

The magistrate agreed, and Qin Feng rushed out the door immediately.

Before arriving at the Tongju Yamen, Qin Feng saw a wisp of white smoke.

Entering the yamen, Qin Feng saw a group of people running water to fight the fire.

Things were not as horrible as the terrified yamen servant said, the fire had been brought under control with everyone's efforts.

But there was indeed a little flame on the wooden door of the number room. When water was poured on it, the flame would dim for a while, but it would rise up again immediately, burning with whistling, accompanied by wisps of white smoke.

Qin Feng is no stranger to this kind of fire, but to the people of Dazhou, it probably really is a very unique kind of fire.

white phosphorus.

The wooden door of the number room was stained with white phosphorus.

The ignition point of this kind of thing is only 40 degrees Celsius, and it will spontaneously ignite if it is a little hotter.

Unless it can be completely submerged in water and isolated from the air.

It's just that Qin Feng didn't expect that in a place like Dazhou, he could actually see white phosphorus?
This thing should be the product of a chemical reaction, and there is no natural white phosphorus in nature.

Where did this thing come from?

Qin Feng suddenly remembered that the boy who touched him today seemed to have a small gourd pinned to his waist.

When the boy rushed towards him, there was still a slight sound inside the gourd.

White phosphorus cannot be placed directly in the container, as long as it comes into contact with air and the temperature reaches above 40 degrees, it is prone to spontaneous combustion.

The best way is to keep it in water.It is insoluble in water, and after being submerged in water, it is isolated from the air.

One of the elements of combustion is oxygen, and white phosphorus without oxygen cannot burn.

Could it be that kid has white phosphorus in his gourd?

No, this is not the point, the point is...

Qin Feng grabbed the front of the yamen servant who reported the letter just now.

"My lord, please spare my life, but this young man guarded the two men with all his heart, but suddenly there was a fire! It must be the ghost of the official Linku who appeared... My lord, you should leave here quickly, this Tongju Yamen... is not a place to stay for a long time ah!"

The yamen servant trembled, and spit out a long string of words without waiting for Qin Feng to speak.

"Shut up! I ask, you answer, don't say anything unnecessary!"

Qin Feng almost lifted him up, frightening the yamen servant: "Yes, yes... the adults ask, the villains answer..."

"You said, this fire is the same as the three fires last night?"

The yamen servant nodded: "Yes, it's the same! It must have been set by Lin Kuguan! It must have been set by his ghost! The villain has lived for so many years, and he has never seen such an indestructible fire... "

"You saw it with your own eyes? The same white smoke as this one, right?"

"Yes! Lin..."

"Lin your mother's head!"

Qin Feng threw him on the ground at once: "Those two men, quickly catch me! I have something important to ask them! It's about the murder case of these two days! Hurry up!"

"Ah? Ahhhh... yes!"

The yamen servant got up and ran away.

Bincheng Mansion is now closed, and the two men, one of them is the apprentice of the old doctor in the medical center, they have names and surnames, and they can be known by just asking.

The ancient people did not have surveillance, did not have good communication tools, and it was not as convenient to find people as in modern times.

But there were many people in ancient times. When the yamen servant went back and said that Qin Feng wanted to arrest those two people, it was related to the murder case. The magistrate sent thirty or forty people without saying a word. In less than a quarter of an hour, those two guys were tied up. In front of Qin Feng.

"Dog officer!"

The stupid boy cursed again when he saw Qin Feng.

Qin Feng really wanted to slap his mouth until he was speechless.

But now Qin Feng needs him to speak.

"Where's your gourd?"

"I'm bah! Dog officer!"

Qin Feng took a deep breath, grabbed the boy's clothes, sneered and tore off a piece, walked to the side of the burnt white phosphorus, pinched a handful of the white powder left after burning - phosphorus pentoxide, walked to the kid.

"You made this thing, right? You put it in hot water and carried it with you. You used it to set fire to the door today, right?"

The boy's eyes suddenly turned red, and he yelled at Qin Feng: "Look, you know everything! How dare you say you were wronged? It's clear that you killed my father!"

Qin Feng was extremely depressed.

Where is this?
