Chapter 230 Another Double Quest

Now that the county magistrate is dead, there is no manpower dispatched from above when the incident happened suddenly, so now the county magistrate is in charge of all affairs.

Chen Yi didn't know what this person came to see him for, but since he came here, he wanted to meet him, so Chen Yi didn't refuse.

When he saw the county magistrate, the county magistrate immediately saluted, very respectful.

Although Chen Yi felt that the magistrate's respect was a bit exaggerated, he didn't take it to heart.

After the two exchanged pleasantries, Chen Yi said: "The county seat doesn't have to be so polite, I'm just passing through here, and the surrounding places are inconvenient, so I rest here now, and I will leave tomorrow. The county magistrate doesn't have to be so polite, come here in person .”

Chen Yi still has a lot of things waiting for him now, but he heard the news that the county magistrate was killed on the street.

As soon as he came back, the county magistrate came to see him, and Chen Yi naturally thought that the county magistrate might ask him for help.

But how could he have time to take care of this matter, besides, this is a unified investigation by the Ministry of Criminal Justice, as long as it is reported, people from the Ministry of Criminal Justice will come in a few days, it is better for him to avoid unnecessary complications.

So Chen Yi indirectly told the county magistrate about his itinerary.

It is not easy to be able to be the county magistrate, and it is natural to hear the meaning of Chen Yi's words, but he is now riding a tiger.

I can only bite the bullet and say: "I know that your lord has something important to do, it is really presumptuous to come here today, and you shouldn't disturb your lord, but, it's just this matter, I'm worried that things will change later, so, so I can only Please come to my lord..."

The county magistrate looked up at Chen Yi, and then said: "The county magistrate was killed, I think there is something strange, it's not like the rumors say, he was killed by some kind of Heaven's Punishment hero, and he didn't dare to say anything. Worried about what might happen.”

When Chen Yi heard this, it seemed that there was something else going on.

"Oh? Hearing what the county magistrate said, do you have any clues? Then just wait for the people from the criminal department to come and report the truth. Why do you want me? I'm not here to judge the case."

Chen Yi didn't want to take this job, he was busy with the matter of Xuanluo Kingdom and the second prince of Liao Kingdom.

Regardless of the murder case, let alone whether he has the ability to judge the case, even if this matter is not under the control of his official department, there is a suspicion of overreaching, so it is better not to add trouble.

Chen Yi, who made up his mind, continued to decline: "I'm afraid I can't help the county magistrate, please wait patiently for the officials from the Ministry of Punishment, the truth of the matter will eventually be revealed."

When the county magistrate heard this, he looked at Chen Yi's face, and he really didn't want to care.

I just felt that sadness came from it, and I was about to kneel down to Chen Yi. The expression on his face seemed to be grasping the last straw.

Chen Yi was frightened. He didn't expect that his refusal would lead to such a performance from the county magistrate, so he subconsciously helped the magistrate: "What's the matter? Didn't you say that after the people from the punishment department came, there would naturally be a decision .”

The county magistrate couldn't bear it anymore, so he said directly: "To be honest, my lord, the murderer seems to know that I have clues and has already set his sights on me. If my lord ignores me, I will end up with the magistrate. It's like people don't know it."

Chen Yi was a little surprised when he heard this, and looked at Xian Cheng in disbelief.

In this small place, apart from the county magistrate, the county magistrate is the biggest, and now everything is under the control of the county magistrate, who can make the county magistrate so afraid?
Chen Yi couldn't help but think about the dark side of the officialdom he saw in his previous life and some scenes from TV dramas.

Can't help but conspiracy theories, the death brought to this county magistrate will also involve other officials.

He couldn't help but think of the news he heard with Lin Shilang at the Imperial Capital Restaurant.

There is indeed some kind of Heaven's Punishment Hero, who does this kind of thing for the people to kill corrupt officials, but this thing didn't happen in the imperial capital, it only happened in other places.

And most of the people who were killed were local county magistrates or magistrates, and they were not very big officials.

Because it is very close to the lives of the common people, after all, it is a parent official, so the news spread quickly among the common people.

But it didn't attract the attention of the ministers in the court, and no minister even mentioned the matter.

Chen Yi thought that after passing it on for a while, the Ministry of Criminal Justice would solve the case, and besides, he took on two tasks at the same time.

The system didn't send him a task because of this matter, which meant that the matter was not very serious, so he naturally didn't take it to heart, but now that the county magistrate has asked for the person in front of him, Chen Yi is a little entangled.

In the end, I felt that what the county magistrate said was still so serious, so I softened my heart: "Sit down and talk about it, what's the real deal? As for whether I want to help, it depends on the situation. You also know that I have an imperial decree on my back."

The county magistrate immediately put away his emotions and saluted to thank: "Thank you Chen Shilang, I understand that if Chen Shilang really can't control it, it's my fate, how dare I complain."

After finishing speaking, the county magistrate sat down, and told Chen Yi the ins and outs of what he knew, the suspicious points, and the information he had.

After Chen Yi finished listening, he didn't say a word, and lowered his head to think.

The county magistrate looked at Chen Yi cautiously, did not dare to disturb him, and sat on the side nervously.

Chen Yi was actually not thinking with his head down, but looking at the system's mission description.

This is based on the narration of the county magistrate just now. Halfway through Chen Yi's hearing, the system's notification tone rang in his ears.

[Ding, congratulations to the host for triggering a random passive task]

[Passive task branch content: Now there are heroes of heaven's punishment in various places, killing officials at will, and threatening to eliminate harm for the people, which actually caused panic among the people everywhere.

[Ding, a warm reminder to the host, this passive task is triggered by the host independently, if the task is not completed, there will be no chance to trigger the task passively in the future, please complete the task carefully]

Chen Yigang was a little irritable at first, but he didn't expect that another task would come, and he would trigger it passively.

He looked at the county magistrate who bowed his head and spoke earnestly, and he had a little understanding in his heart.

Immediately afterwards, it was discovered that this mission was different from the previous ones.
