The best county magistrate

In less than half an hour, Yin Jiangli, the governor of Shangjing City, led the government officials to surround the hut and the small courtyard.

Not long after he arrived, Ma Qian and Ma Tong also arrived.

Seeing the miserable state of his eldest son, Ma Qian trembled all over. If Ma Tong hadn't helped him, this guy would have fallen to his knees.

"Who! Who harmed my son..." Ma Qian came to his senses and asked Jiang Li, and then turned his angry eyes to Yang Xuanchen.

"Yang Xuanchen, it must be you! You are the only one who has a grudge against my son, so you must have paid to kill my son."

The hysterical roars made the eardrums of everyone in the hut hurt, which showed his grief-stricken mood.

Ma Tong felt that his eldest brother might not be able to deal with things calmly, so he sent someone to help him outside the door, and then offered his hand to Jiang Li.

"Master Jiang, please forgive me for my brother's loss of his son..." He bowed to Yang Xuanchen again, "Mr. Yang, please forgive me."

After putting aside the matter of face, Ma Tong's tone became much colder, "Mr. Jiang, by whose hands did my eldest nephew die?"

At this time, the government officials had already inspected the corpses in the courtyard and the house.

He bowed to everyone, and then said: "My lords, almost all the villains in the courtyard have multiple fractures and ruptured internal organs."

"According to my judgment, they were all killed by an outsider's boxing master..."

Speaking of this, he couldn't help but glance at Zhang Biao. Zhang Biao laughed and stood up to salute, "My master was kidnapped. I had to do it out of desperation."

"If you need to question me, I will do as you please, Mr. Jiang."

When Jiang Li heard this, he waved his hands quickly. He had seen Zhang Biao's brute strength before, and now that he could kill these gangsters with his bare hands, he was naturally shocked.

So, Wu Zuo continued: "The man in the house should have been killed by this strong man, but Master Ma's nephew Ma Boguang died strangely."

This sentence made Yang Xuanchen secretly tremble in his heart. Could it be that Shen Qingyun's methods were not subtle enough, and what was discovered by the gangster in front of him?

Ma Tong seemed to have lost his patience and picked up the skirt of his clothes, "What's wrong? Why don't you tell me quickly."

Seeing that he was extremely excited, Jiang Li stepped forward and took Ma Tong's hand, comforting him and said, "Master Ma, don't be anxious. Mr. Hua is an old man in the government office. Let him speak slowly."

Ma Tong snorted and stood aside waiting for Wu Zuo to speak.

"Mr. Ma's body was not poisoned, and there were no signs of death from fists or kicks. The fatal injury was on his head."

Wu Zuo then took a sharp knife from the ground and drew it on the corpse, "Please see, this knife matches the wound on the head."

"And the wound was quite large. He must have been stabbed more than once before he was alive!"

"During the autopsy, I also found that Mr. Ma had no property on his body..."

After listening to Wu Zuo's analysis, Jiang Li also breathed a sigh of relief. Cases of murder and murder often occurred in the capital as the year was approaching.

However, the person who died in this murder case was the eldest son of the Ma family. As long as Ma Tong doesn't pursue it too closely, the case can be closed immediately.

"You mean to seek wealth and murder?" Ma Tong could not fully believe what he said.

Wu Zuo didn't nod or shake his head. After all, it was not his job to judge the case, so he could only look at Jiang Li for help.

Jiang Li, an old cunning man, did not immediately comment. Instead, he asked Yang Xuanchen, "Master Yang, can you tell me how you were kidnapped?"

Yang Xuanchen nodded, and then told what happened before exactly.

After the story was told, everyone lowered their heads and thought for a while, and then Jiang Li took the lead and said, "Master Yang, you really didn't see who caught you?"

"No, it was really dark. It was too dark in the alley, and I was suddenly put into a sack..." Yang Xuanchen said and sighed.

Then he rolled up his sleeves and trousers regardless of the severe cold. There were green and red spots all over his body. It was obvious that he had been beaten just now.

"These gangsters didn't say anything. They just punched and kicked me."

"I was worried at the time and just wanted to spend money to eliminate the disaster. Later, Zhang Biao and Shen Qingyun came..."

For Jiang Li, he recognized Zhang Biao, but Shen Qingyun was much stranger, which inevitably aroused his suspicion.

Shen Qingyun saw him cast a doubtful look, and then said: "Master Jiang, Cao Min and Master Yang have just come from Qingshui County."

"Caomin and Mr. Yang have known each other for a long time and have become brothers. Now they are still the stewards of Nishang Building."

"As soon as we received the news that Mr. Yang was kidnapped, Cao Min came with his men to save people."

As he spoke, he flashed a waistband with neon characters on it. Jiang Li and Ma Tong both looked at him with stern eyes, and their attitudes towards Shen Qingyun instantly changed drastically.

"It turned out to be the chief manager of Nishang Building, and Jiang was lucky enough to meet him."

"Nice to meet you, Ma."

Yang Xuanchen was very curious about Shen Qingyun's current identity, a manager? Is the manager of Nishanglou so awesome?

Even the governor and the censor were very polite to him. It seemed that his identity and this building must be special.

Now that the witnesses and physical evidence were there, the cause of death of Ma Boguang and the gangster was known, and Jiang Li quickly closed the case.

It's just that Ma Qian looked at Yang Xuanchen with a bit of resentment in his eyes before leaving. He would not believe anyone seeking money and murder. Deep in his heart, he had already determined that Yang Xuanchen was the murderer of his son.

No matter what Ma Qian thinks, this matter has been concluded, and Yang Xuanchen's focus is now on the woman who was captured just now.

In a darkroom in Nishang Building, the woman had been tied to a shelf, and her clothes were damaged in many places, revealing the whiteness inside.

A basin of cold water immediately woke the woman up. She calmed down and found that there were three more people in front of her.

She was very aware of her current situation, and then she spat and said with a sneer on her face: "I won't say anything. If you want to kill or behead, just give me a happy word."

"Damn you, you are so stubborn and you are so stubborn!" Zhang Biao glared at her and prepared to scare her.

"Bah, you ugly thing!"

"Hey, little bitch, it's against your will!" He cursed and raised his hand, and his big butt almost landed on the woman's face.

The woman and Zhang Biao looked at Yang Xuanchen who shouted to stop at the same time, with a lot of confusion in their eyes.

"Forget it, second brother, you won't get anything out of a beating or scolding. There's no need to waste energy."

After Yang Xuanchen said something, he stood up and came to the woman. There was no emotion in his eyes. Just one glance made the woman's eyes widen.

What kind of look is this?

Do you treat me like a fool?

Or is it that my life is worthless to him, so what is he going to do when he catches me?

For a time, the woman had many questions in her heart, but none of them had answers. This feeling of panic and palpitations was something she had never experienced before.

This man is so scary!

How did Yang Xuanchen know that his casual look would trigger so many psychological activities in the other party, "Girl, it is a capital crime for you to kidnap an official of the imperial court!"

"Perhaps you have seen through life and death, but do you know that we can use you to lure out your two sisters?"

After hearing this, the woman began to struggle vigorously, and the ropes tied around her hands and feet produced bloody marks. She ignored the pain and yelled: "You are despicable!"

"Actually, it was all this guy Ma Boguang who instigated you. Am I right?"

This sentence made the woman sober up a little. Yes, they were instigated. The crime should not be that serious. It seemed that there was still room for change.

Yang Xuanchen saw that she was starting to think, and a smile appeared on his lips, "Humans, everyone wants to have enough food and clothing, so it is understandable that they would take risks for a little extraneous possessions."

"I, Yang Xuanchen, am not a murderer, and I have no hatred between you and me. The only one to blame is Ma Boguang!"

"But, because of him, there is a hatred between you and me after this night!"

"I want to turn the conflict into friendship. I wonder if you can send a message back to me?"

The woman thought for a while and asked: "You mean to let me go back? Aren't you afraid that we will kill you in turn?"

"I'm afraid, of course I'm afraid, but my intuition tells me that you will cooperate with me." Yang Xuanchen paused after saying this, and then said with a smile.

"I'll let you go in a moment!"

"Before noon tomorrow, you and your sisters can choose a place and let me know."

Having said this, Yang Xuanchen yawned, "Don't come too early, I want to sleep more."
