The person in the carriage did not answer, but said calmly: "Isn't this lady going to leave? Aren't you afraid that if you continue to stay, I will be implicated."

Chu Huanyan raised her eyebrows slightly. After a moment, she withdrew her gaze and said to Qin Li: "Let's go."

Looking at the other party like this, even if the yamen servant or members of Wu Yuan's family come to find him, they will not suffer any loss.

But, what is the identity of the other party? Also, she may not have heard the other party speak, but she always felt that there was a vague sense of familiarity in the words.

Qin Li started driving again, but before the carriage could leave, there was a sudden noise behind him, and the servant from earlier came over with the yamen servant.

"So fast?" Chu Huanyan was a little surprised.

This town entrance is not close to the town. According to common sense, the servants would not be able to run back to report the news so quickly, unless they ran into these government officials not long after running out.

"No one is allowed to move!" the officer said loudly.

Since the people from the government had already arrived, Chu Huanyan and the others naturally couldn't leave immediately. Qin Li stopped the carriage.

When the government officials arrived, the leader was a man in his thirties, with a stubble on his face and looked quite rough.

When he saw Feng Rong's body on the ground, he was obviously stunned.

"Really dead? What's going on!" The officer frowned and glanced at the two carriages, "Who did it?"

One of the servants quickly identified him, "It was the man in the carriage. He smashed Master Feng to death with a porcelain cup!"

"What?" Upon hearing that someone was smashed to death with a cup, the leading government officer's complexion changed, and he immediately stared at the carriage with vigilance, while the government officials following him also pulled out their sabers.

But the coachman just looked at them coldly, "If you don't want to die, just mind your own business. Our master is not something you guys can touch."

"Boss, what should we do? Didn't you say that someone blocked the road to check and cause trouble? Why are people killed now?" Behind the leader, a thinner government servant tightened the knife in his hand and spoke nervously.

Early this morning, someone went to the Yamen to report the theft. First, there were thefts from several large households. Later, some people said that those large households led people to block the road at the entrance of the town for inspection.

This is really against the rules, but there is nothing they can do against these family offices. The county boss sent them to take a look, and if it really goes too far, they can give some advice.

But I didn't expect that before I came here just now, I saw the panicked servants and people from a distance, and then there were rumors of murder.

This Feng Rong was Mr. Wu's brother-in-law, and he was killed just like that?

The leading government servant looked very ugly and continued to stare at the carriage.

"People in the carriage, get down immediately. You have committed a serious crime of murder. You'd better surrender and follow us to the Yamen. Otherwise... don't blame us for being rude!"

When he said the last sentence, he obviously lacked some confidence. After all, the other party can kill people with a small porcelain cup, and the coachman doesn't look easy to offend. If he really takes action, I'm afraid they may not It's worth it.

The carriage was quiet, and the people inside didn't speak.

Chu Huanyan lifted the curtain, looked at the carriage again, and waited patiently.

Time passed by, and the leader finally spoke again.

"When we came here just now, we sent someone to pass a message to the Yamen. The troops will be here soon. If you get off the carriage now, you will suffer less!"

These words sounded much tougher than before, but they still had a hint of bravado.

The next moment, the carriage curtain was finally lifted.

The fingers with clear joints opened the curtain slowly, and there seemed to be a chill even in the fingertips.

The person in the carriage finally showed his face.

It was an extremely evil face, with long eyebrows and thin lips, and deep eyes. If it weren't for the chill that shocked people all over his body, at first glance, people would have thought him to be a seducing goblin. He lowered his eyebrows and smiled. , is enough to make people abandon everything.

Chu Huanyan looked at that face. After a brief moment of surprise, doubts became more and more intense in her heart.

She was very sure that she had never seen this face before, but where did that sense of familiarity come from?

While Chu Huanyan was frowning in confusion, the other party suddenly looked at her.

The calm eyes are like a deep pool pretending to be quiet in summer, just waiting to lure people into it, and then they can drown in life or death.

Chu Huanyan subconsciously frowned more tightly. At this moment, the man raised his hand and pointed at her.

"I did kill people, but they also took action."

Hearing this, the leading yamen officer quickly turned to look at Chu Huanyan, "Are you in the same group?"

Chu Huanyan shook her head, "No, I just saw him blocking the road and bullying the people, so I smashed his leg to teach him a lesson."

Who is the other party, and why does he suddenly look like he wants to drag him into trouble?

Moreover, looking at the other party like this, I'm afraid he has a good identity. Did he really take action when the road was rough today, or did he have other intentions from the beginning. ?

Chu Huanyan was filled with doubts, but no matter what, facing these government officials at this moment, she couldn't just drive away immediately.

Soon, the carriage turned around, and along with Feng Rong's body, Chu Huanyan and his party were taken to the town's Yamen.

Before taking them to the Yamen, someone had already reported the news. Hearing that Feng Rong had been killed, the county magistrate was shocked and sent someone to Wu's house to report the news.

Chu Huanyan and the others had just arrived at the Yamen when Wu Yuanwai and Mrs. Wu burst in angrily. Seeing Feng Rong's body on the ground, Mrs. Wu jumped on it and burst into tears.

"Little brother? My poor little brother! Don't scare my sister, wake up!"

"Madam, the person is already dead, don't do this..."

"Shut up, it's not all your fault. It's just that some money was stolen. It doesn't matter. As for sending my brother to block the road early in the morning, it's fine now. His life is gone!"

Listening to this accusation, Wu Yuanwai felt angry and said, "What do you mean I sent him there? He took the initiative when he had enough to eat and had nothing to do. Now that he has lost his life, who can be blamed! The worst is to punish him. Murderer, life for life!"

This brother-in-law spends his days eating, drinking, prostitution, gambling, and spending money. If it weren't for the sake of his wife and father-in-law, he would have kicked him out long ago.

Hearing Wu Yuanwai mention the murderer, Mrs. Wu quickly looked at the other people standing in the yamen and asked with a fierce look: "Who? Who killed my brother?"

"Madam, it's him!" The servant timidly pointed at the man standing in the lobby.

Mrs. Wu immediately looked over with a vicious look, but when she touched the other party's gaze, she shuddered involuntarily.

She suppressed the chill in her heart, gritted her teeth, and spoke to the county magistrate: "Mr. Liu, why don't you hurry up and send someone to arrest the murderer and kill him to avenge my brother!"
