Chapter 231 The County Prime Minister's Request for Help

Chen Yi felt that it was not easy, so he put the task aside and listened to the county magistrate first.

After all, the system tasks can be checked repeatedly, but the county magistrate cannot be asked to say it again, saying that he was distracted just now, so let's say it again.

After Chen Yi finished reading the content of the mission, he lowered his head and pondered, it seemed that the system also knew that he was not authentic.

Otherwise, how could the task reward give the attribute of martial arts talent?
Never seen it before.

If you want to ask what Chen Yi thinks, it's just one mood, heartbeat, Chen Yi is very excited.

I had a dispensable feeling about this matter before, but now I just want to say that it is too timely.

Ever since he started to practice inner strength and mental methods, Chen Yi found that it was not so easy to practice, especially for the understanding in the book and the efficiency of cultivation. What is this?
This is instant success, taking a shortcut, Chen Yi suddenly hopes that there can be more such tasks.

He doesn't need to accumulate slowly, he can directly reach the designated position in one step.

Chen Yi quickly came to his senses and looked at the uneasy county magistrate sitting opposite him.

Now that he decided to take it seriously, Chen Yi naturally had to correct his attitude. At this time, Chen Yi felt that the county magistrate's attitude was a little strange, as if he was too worried and anxious.

Even if you know the clues of the murderer, don't be afraid of this.

Strengthen the guards, or take some measures in advance. After all, his current identity is the county magistrate. As long as he is dragged to the people from the Ministry of Punishment, everything will be solved easily?

How could he come to him alone? Chen Yi looked at Xian Cheng suspiciously.

"Is there anything else you haven't told me? Looking at you now, it seems that only I can save you. It doesn't matter if you don't tell me. I don't care too much. I don't want to be used by others for irrelevant things. People come out on top."

Seeing Chen Yi's resoluteness, the county magistrate didn't dare to hide anything anymore, and said directly: "The elder brother of the county magistrate's wife's natal family is from the Ministry of Punishment, and our place is under his jurisdiction, so I can't touch it." They will definitely frame the murderer as mine."

Chen Yi did not expect that there would be so many things in this small county.

Also met by myself.

Speaking of which, it's not very complicated, but the current county magistrate is relatively cowardly and incompetent. He has no great abilities, but also has a lot of minor problems. Doing things is normal.

Originally, I would be able to retire in a few years, so I want to find a successor in the past few years.

This is about the official system of Dawu Kingdom, the appointment of low-level officials like county magistrates.

Unless it is a major incident involving human life or harm to nature, they can generally serve for a long time, and most of the next successor officials are purely local nominations.

It is also said that the head dragon can't beat the head snake, which is also the reason, and the county magistrate who died has taken a fancy to the current county magistrate.

It was nothing to plan to train him to be his next successor.

Coincidentally, the county lieutenant who was promoted some time ago is also optimistic about the position of county magistrate.

And this county lieutenant was transferred from Lin County, and he was backed by relatives from the Ministry of Punishment. I heard that he was a gangster on the street before, doing nothing, and he didn't know what to climb up on his relatives.

After seeking this official position, the county magistrate's plan was somehow known by the county lieutenant.

At that time, the county magistrate said that he didn't know that the magistrate wanted the county magistrate's position so much. If he knew, he would take a step back. Of course, it would be good to be promoted, but compared with his own life, of course life is more important.

According to the county magistrate himself, he was a little displeased with this county lieutenant, so naturally he had less contact with each other. During that time, for some reason, the county lieutenant made trouble for himself for no reason, even though the two of them did not interfere with each other.

And once threatened him to give up the county magistrate, the county magistrate didn't take it seriously at first, but just dealt with it.

He knew that things could not be done until the last moment.

The county magistrate said this to himself, but it was just to win people's hearts. After all, the county magistrate can still serve for a few years.

Later, the county magistrate did not mention the matter again, and the county lieutenant did not trouble him. The county magistrate himself put the matter behind him and completed his duties with peace of mind.

Unexpectedly, the county magistrate would be killed.

On the afternoon when the county magistrate was killed, the county magistrate had something to look for, so he came to the county magistrate's study to look for him. As soon as the county magistrate walked to the door, he heard the quarrel between the county magistrate and the county lieutenant inside.

The quarrel between the two was caused by the matter of succession. Needless to say, the result naturally broke up.

The county magistrate felt that he was involved in this matter, so he avoided it for a while. When the county magistrate left, he cursed and kept cursing that the county magistrate should die.

That night, the county magistrate was killed.

The clue given by the county magistrate was not this, but on the second day, the county magistrate found that the county magistrate looked a little flustered and a little excited.

And looking at him, there was a hint of complacency and calculation in his eyes, as well as the inevitable.

The county magistrate was terrified, and felt that the matter seemed not simple, but what surprised him even more was yet to come.

He wanted to investigate the cause of the county magistrate's death, like finding out the county lieutenant and returning justice to the county magistrate, but the more he investigated, the more he felt wrong, because there was a lot of evidence pointing to himself.

He can't destroy it yet, everyone is watching, he doesn't know how many people in the county government have been bribed by the county lieutenant.

I was worried that someone would take the evidence after making an action.

When he was at a loss and at a loss, Chen Yi came to Ren, and the county magistrate had no choice but to come to Chen Yi as soon as he heard the news, hoping that he could help him.

Chen Yi's reputation outside is very good, and the county magistrate said that he doesn't have to be the county magistrate, as long as he can save his life. After all, being a county magistrate is also very good.

Moreover, the county magistrate's family has a small amount of property, which was enough for him to squander before he became the county magistrate.

To be the magistrate of this county is the expectation of his family, and the other is that he is a better student, so he was admitted to Juren easily.

Chen Yi had some doubts before, but now he understands.

It turns out that this county lieutenant is backed by officials from the Ministry of Punishment, and the speculations made by the county magistrate before are also reasonable.

It's just that Chen Yi needs to investigate by himself. This is his first contact with this matter, so naturally he has to think about the way of investigating the case.

It's getting late now, Chen Yi and Fang Xuan have been exhausted from the journey for a day, so Chen Yi directly said: "You go back first, I know about this, I'll think about it tonight, you go back first!"

Hearing what Chen Yi said, the county magistrate naturally knew that Chen Yi had let go, agreed to himself, and immediately got up to salute.

"I would like to thank Chen Shilang. I am being rude. Chen Shilang will rest first. I will resign. I will wait for your lord in the government office tomorrow!"

After the county magistrate finished speaking, he seemed to have let go of a heavy burden and left with ease.
