Yipin County Magistrate: Start with invincibility

Chapter 272
The magistrate was stunned watching from the sidelines, unexpectedly, Qin Feng really found some clues about the theft of treasury silver.

Why didn't he think of asking someone to carry the box away to see what's underneath?
Of course, even if the prefect finds out, I'm afraid nothing will change.

The magistrate had already guessed that it was his nephew who stole Kuyin, didn't he choose to cover up and conceal it?

Perhaps it was because he already knew the truth in his heart that he deliberately didn't check Xiangcha.

The passage in the bank vault confirmed Qin Feng's thoughts.

Qin Feng is now sure that the three people trapped in the room on the night of the fire must have escaped in this way, but he does not know whether the three people have escaped from the city now.

Not long after, Ling Chong came back from the outside and reported to Qin Fenghui in disgrace: "This passage actually leads to the small yamen."

Qin Feng nodded: "It is in line with my guess. This Ji Bugang must have colluded with Tongzhi or Tongzhi to commit crimes together. And this Bincheng probably only digs tunnels in the Tongju Yamen. It will attract the attention of others. After all, it is a place for lawsuits, and there is nothing to do, and the people will not easily pass by."

"go!"

"where to?"

Wan Kunming asked, Ling Chong and Wei Quanyou also looked at Qin Feng.

"Go and see how lucky I am, if I can catch the three murderers!"

Qin Feng said.

He glanced at the magistrate, went over and tightened the rope that bound the magistrate, led people out of the bank, and locked the door of the bank again.

The guards of the bank outside were dispatched by the magistrate, and now they neither leave nor stay. When they saw Qin Feng and others coming out, out of fear of Ling Chong, they immediately hid far away.

"All come out!"

Qin Feng's order was like thunder.

Although he was only a county magistrate from another county, none of these guards dared to go against Qin Feng's wishes, and they all stepped forward one by one to listen to the lecture.

"The prefect of Bincheng attempted to frame this official and violated the laws of the Great Zhou Dynasty. I will report this matter to the imperial court for the emperor to decide. Although you and the prefect are here to try to suppress this museum, this official knows that You're just doing what you're told."

A group of people nodded.

"Master Qin is right. Of course we servants must listen to the prefect. If we don't listen to him, deducting money is a trivial matter. The prefect will punish us..."

"Master Qin, please don't argue with us if you have a lot of people..."

"Master Qin, please forgive me..."

Qin Feng glanced at them and said:
"I hope you can all distinguish between right and wrong. From now on, don't listen to the prefect's order, and take care of the bank here on your behalf. This official can forgive me."

"Otherwise, you will be the accomplices of the magistrate who knows the law and broke the law. I will sue the court, and none of you will escape!"

The guards promised again and again.

"Don't worry, my lord, we will definitely keep this bank safe, this is our duty in the first place!"

"My lord, please don't worry, I will definitely guard the bank and not let my lord come out!"

"It's almost there."

After making arrangements for the bank, Qin Feng rushed to check the three fire places. This place is the closest to the magistrate's yamen, so Qin Feng first came to the room of the magistrate's concubine.

Before that, he arranged for the yamen servants to clean up all the debris of the burned houses.

Now these yamen servants have almost cleaned up, and the collapsed things have been removed, exposing the entire floor.

Qin Feng walked directly into the room, stomped his heels on the floor lightly, and found a place where the sound was different after a while.

"Hmph! As expected!"

Qin Feng bent down, thrust his five fingers into the ground, pierced through a piece of the floor, and picked it up.

The thickness of the stone floor is one-third of the thickness of the normal floor next to it. At the edge of the floor, there is a simple mechanism, connected to a button.

Qin Feng was too lazy to look for it just now, so he just scratched the floor.

Qin Feng immediately said to Ling Chong: "Ling Chong, go down and see where this leads to, and see if there is anyone. If you see someone, it must be the criminal in this case, just arrest him."

"Yes!"

Ling Chong immediately jumped down.

Not long after, he came back from the outside: "My lord, this secret passage leads to the home of fellow acquaintance Feng Shecai. But there is no one in the secret passage."

"Did they run away? This secret passage only leads to Feng Shecai's house? Is there no other way?"

Qin Feng pondered for a while and asked again.

Ling Chong shook his head: "It's just a passage. It's very dry inside, and the footing is very flat. In my opinion, this secret passage should have been dug for a long time, and it has been used all the time."

"Well... let's go, and then go to Ji Bugang's house to have a look."

Qin Feng ordered the yamen servants: "You wait to guard the exit of this secret passage, if anyone comes out, arrest them immediately!"

"Yes!"

Ji Bugang's house was basically tidied up, and Qin Feng stomped on the floor again, and sure enough, he found another secret passage, and the floor tiles covering this secret passage were much larger than the one at the concubine's house.

After opening, the entrance below is also very spacious.

Qin Feng's ears moved, as if he heard the sound of digging in the secret passage.

Without even thinking about it, he jumped down, lit the fire and went down.

This secret passage is much more spacious than the one Ling Chong mentioned just now, and it becomes more spacious as you go down. After walking more than ten meters, Qin Feng actually discovered that there is an underground room underneath!

The four sides of this room are paved with stone slabs, and in the middle of the room, there is a bed with some scattered bedding.

Beside the bed is a table with several plates and three bowls on it.There are some pickles on the plate and some dry food in the bowl.

There is a large tank in the corner, and there is still more than half of the water in the tank.

A corner of the room is full of boxes. After a rough count, there are about 30 boxes.

He went forward, opened the box, and took a light on it with a torch. The box was full of silver, and the reflected light almost blinded his eyes.

"Under here, there's a hole in the sky?"

Wan Kunming and Wei Quanyou followed behind, while Ling Chong watched the entrance from above.

Seeing the silver in the box, both of them stared wide-eyed: "This...so much silver, how many million taels is it?"

"Hmph... the silver hasn't been taken away yet, and the person must still be there!"

This is really good news for Qin Feng.

He covered the box.

Suddenly Wei Quanyou exclaimed: "Hey, there is a figure over there."

Qin Feng immediately took a photo with the fire folder, and he saw a man.

The man held a hoe in his hand, stared at Qin Feng blankly for a while, then turned around and ran away.

"Hmph! You're all blocked, and you still want to run? Stop!"

Qin Feng ran after him.
