The county magistrate Liu Jiang was born into a poor family. Although he passed the imperial examination, he was not too talented and had no support behind him, so he only served as a minor official for more than ten years.

In this wandering town, although it seems that he is the parent official, in fact it depends on the faces of several other big families.

Among those families, the Wu family is the leader. In addition to being wealthy, Mrs. Wu's second uncle is also an official and can be regarded as Liu Jiang's boss.

Therefore, when facing Liu Jiang, it was common for Mrs. Wu to show some dignity when she was happy and bossy when she was unhappy.

"Mrs. Wu, please calm down and wait for me to ask you about the situation first. But don't worry, I will give Mr. Feng an explanation no matter what."

With that said, Liu Jiang turned to look at Chu Huanyan, the others, and the man.

"You guys are so audacious. You dare to commit murder in daylight. Who are your names and where do you live? Why don't you tell me quickly!"

"Sir, we are just passing by, and Mr. Feng's death has nothing to do with us. Don't try the case randomly because you are afraid of some people, and end up getting into trouble." Qin Li spoke first, his tone Neither humble nor arrogant, even with a hint of beating.

Liu Jiang frowned fiercely. Although he had been in Liuxi Town for more than ten years, he was still quite discerning on weekdays.

The person who just spoke seemed to be just a guard at first glance, but the problem is that the aura around a mere guard is so impressive, let alone other people. Isn't it possible that he, a big shot in Liuxi Town, is here today?

Thinking of this, Liu Jiang did not dare to be too harsh and decided to ask the other party's identity first.

"You can rest assured of this. I will judge the case impartially. However, now that someone has died and a life has been caused, since you are on the spot, you must honestly explain clearly who you are?"

"Businessmen passing by." Chu Huanyan said calmly, "Coming from the Imperial City, passing through Liuxi Town, going to visit relatives."

Coming from the Imperial City... no wonder he has such a good momentum.

Liu Jiang spoke secretly in his heart, while moving his eyes to the man standing next to him who had never spoken.

"and who are you?"

The aura around him was really terrifying. When Liu Jiang spoke, he couldn't help but straighten his back deliberately to avoid showing panic.

"Our young master's surname is Ling." The coachman next to him said.

"I'm asking about your young master, and I won't allow you to interrupt." Liu Jiang's tone became stronger. After speaking, he continued to look at Mr. Ling, "What's your name?"

"Ling Feng."

Seeing that the other party opened his mouth cooperatively, Liu Jiang breathed a sigh of relief, "Okay, I'd like to ask you this, did you really kill the person?"

"Yes."

"What is the murder weapon?"

"Porcelain cup."

"Why kill?"

Ling Feng finally glanced at Liu Jiang and said casually: "He blocked my way."

"Is it because of this?" Liu Jiang's heart tightened.

He has already heard the news that Feng Rong led people to block the road, but what can he do? If it is other people, he can take care of it, but he really can't take care of the Wu family.

Of course, other people would not have the guts to run to the town entrance and block the road.

"Yes." Ling Feng looked away, the expression on his face remained unchanged, as if he just said something ordinary.

"Damn it, damn it! That's so arrogant!" Mrs. Wu was so angry that she pointed at Ling Feng and said to Liu Jiang, "You have heard it, he has already admitted it, why don't you quickly order him to be killed?" Avenge my brother!"

"Mrs. Wu, please be patient. This matter..."

"Don't be so impatient!" Mrs. Wu yelled at Liu Jiang, "It's all obvious. My brother was killed by him. This is the only child of our Feng family. You actually have the nerve to let me calm down." Don't be impatient, Liu Jiang, I'm afraid you don't want to wear this official uniform anymore! Or maybe you have forgotten the days when you came to the door with gifts and licked your face to please my second uncle to please me!"

"Madam, please tell me if you have anything to say." Wu Yuanwai tugged on Mrs. Wu's sleeves, indicating that he would save some face for Liu Jiang, "After all, we are in the Yamen."

"What yamen, I can't control that much. Liu Jiang, you kill this murderer immediately, otherwise once my second uncle finds out, you will never be able to become an official again!" Mrs. Wu threatened angrily.

Liu Jiang was originally angry and his face turned cold because of Mrs. Wu's humiliation, but when he heard the threat behind him, he suddenly became weak like a ball with its skin removed.

Although he has become a minor official, he has nothing to rely on. Although Mrs. Wu's second uncle's official position is only one level higher than his own, as the saying goes, one level of officialdom is overwhelming. If he wants to continue to guard this official uniform, he I can only swallow my anger.

Taking a deep breath, Liu Jiang said to the government officials next to him, "What are you still doing? Since the murderer has confessed, why don't you tie him up quickly!"

He didn't care what the other party's identity was, so he had to calm down Mrs. Wu first, and maybe the other party just looked arrogant, but was actually just an ordinary person.

The government officials took the order and stepped forward. Seeing that Ling Feng didn't even dodge, Liu Jiang breathed a sigh of relief again.

But before the officials could touch Ling Feng's sleeves, the coachman on the side suddenly took action and knocked the forward officials to the ground in just a few moves.

"Bold! This is the Yamen!" Liu Jiang's expression changed, and he quickly directed other Yamen servants to take action.

But they were also knocked down without even touching the corner of Ling Feng's clothes, and a bunch of government officials fell to the ground in a mess.

"Master Yun, maybe you can tell what kind of martial arts method it is?" Qin Li stood aside, protecting Chu Huanyan while speaking to Yun Chen in a low voice.

Yun Chen shook his head, "No, but the moves are hard and fast, without any waste. It looks like..."

"Looks like he came from the army." Qin Li took over what Yun Chen said.

Chu Huanyan had already stepped aside. Listening to the two men's low-pitched discussion, the doubts in her heart became more intense.

But it wasn't because of the opponent's tricks, but because he couldn't figure out what Ling Feng wanted to do.

Up to this moment, the other party's behavior was really illogical.

If he wanted to knock down the government officials by force, he wouldn't have to cooperate with him before to come to the government office, he could just knock them down and leave.

But the other party cooperated obediently and came to this Yamen, and now he directly takes action...

Chu Huanyan looked at Ling Feng's very evil face, and finally her eyes rested on those eyes...

Liu Jiang, who was so frightened, saw the coachman approaching him and hurriedly backed away, "You, what do you want to do? I am an official of the imperial court. If you dare to attack me, it will be a serious crime!"

The coachman acted as if he didn't hear anything, and just walked towards Liu Jiang who kept retreating with cold eyes, until Ling Feng behind him spoke again...
