The best county magistrate

It started to rain in Shangjing tonight, and there were fewer night owls in the streets and alleys.

The masked man, wearing night clothes, headed towards Nanya.

Hua Qianxue hung behind him not far away, until she and he landed outside the Nan Ya prison cell.

She stared at the direction where the black shadow disappeared, and couldn't help frowning. Why was this guy in prison at night?

Should I wait here or follow up and take a look?

Just when she was about to get down and go in to find out what was going on, a team of government officials who were keeping vigil came to the door of the prison cell.

"You idiots, you haven't even married a wife yet, you gamble every day, how much money do you have left in your monthly money?"

An older government official was preaching to several younger government officials beside him.

Suddenly, there was a sound of fighting in the prison, which attracted their attention.

"You! Go and call Master Shen. The others will follow me in and take a look!"

As he spoke, the leading officer pulled out a long sword from his waist and walked quickly, stepping into the door of the prison cell.

At this time, Hua Qianxue naturally did not cause any trouble and continued to lean on the eaves to observe, with only the gentle drizzle dripping down the tips of her hair.

The fight in the prison didn't last long, and then the masked man ran out covered in blood.

Hua Qianxue stared at him with a horrified look in her eyes. She could fight seven or eight government officials alone and still come out of the prison unscathed. This man is so strong!

Unfortunately, before the man could cross the courtyard wall, he was pinned down by Shen Baoren's flying knife.

"Brother, if you come to the Yamen at night, I'm afraid you're not here for a visit!"

As he spoke, he rushed forward with his knife and struck the masked man with a cleave.

With a clang, the two men's weapons met in front of them and sparked some sparks. Then the masked man took advantage of the situation to jump back and then flew up the courtyard wall.

At the same time, at the door of the prison cell, the older government servant had climbed out with a seriously injured body.

He used his last bit of strength to shout: "He killed Hua Zigan!"

Shen Baoren's face showed a look of shock, and then he shouted, "Where to go!"

He couldn't take care of the government officials anymore. The first priority was to capture the masked man, otherwise he would definitely not be able to eat and carry around.

Hua Qianxue, who was on the eaves, had a stern look in her eyes, and like a cat, she stood up from the eaves and followed them away.

At the food market a few streets away, Hua Qianxue finally saw Shen Baoren and the masked man fighting fiercely.

The two were equally powerful, but one wanted to escape and the other was in hot pursuit. Every time they fought, they were separated at the first touch.

Hua Qianxue slowly approached them along the eaves. Taking advantage of the gap between their attacks, she shouted and joined the battle.

"Hundred flowers will bloom and Qianxue will come to help."

Shen Baoren's pupils shrank for a while, and then he raised the knife. With Hua Qianxue's support, the masked man was gradually at a disadvantage no matter how strong he was.

The three of them fought for a while, and the masked man took out a paper bag from his arms and threw it towards Shen Baoren and Hua Qianxue.

As the leader of the six doors, Shen Baoren relied on his own experience and took a few steps back while closing his eyes and breathing, while Hua Qianxue on the side was completely dusted with powder.

When Shen Baoren opened his eyes again, there was still half of the masked man in front of him.

"Master Hua, are you okay..."

Before she could finish her words, Hua Qianxue suddenly grinned, her laughter getting louder and louder, and she attacked him with a short blade.

Shen Baoren secretly said bad, dragon marrow fragrance!

At the moment, he had no better choice. He could only fight with Hua Qianxue, thinking of countermeasures while parrying.

The rain fell harder and harder, and the fierce fight between the two became more and more dangerous.

At this time, Jiang Li rushed to Caishikou with the government servants from Nanya and the masters from the six gates. Not long after, Yang Xuanchen and his party also arrived after hearing the news.

"Dragon marrow incense!"

Yang Xuanchen shouted to Wang Tieshan and continued: "Master Wang, Hua Qianxue has been hit by the dragon marrow incense, just knock her out."

Wang Tieshan heard the sound and joined the battle like a phantom, and soon knocked out Hua Qianxue.

"Second sister, third sister, you take the eldest sister back to Nanya first and wipe your body with warm water. Don't worry about anything else for the time being."

Seeing that Yang Xuanchen had made a decision, Jiang Li and Shen Baoren came to him and asked.

"Master Xiao Yang, the dragon marrow incense is used by a man wearing a mask..."

After Shen Baoren told what happened just now, Jiang Li added.

"Seven or eight government officials died in Nanya, and..." Jiang Li hesitated, hesitating to speak.

"Brother Jiang, what's wrong? What happened?" Yang Xuanchen asked with a frown.

"Hua Zi is dead!"

Yang Xuanchen's pupils suddenly shrank following Jiang Li's words.

Hua Zi died at the hands of a man wearing a mask. This was a big deal. An official from the sixth rank who was about to be promoted from the fifth rank died in Nanya Prison.

And to die at this juncture, it was obvious that they had discovered something.

Murder and silence, death without evidence!

Yang Xuanchen rubbed his chin and paced back and forth in the rain, thinking about how to face it now.

First, the maid of the Bei Liao mission died from the poison of dragon marrow incense and arsenic, and then Song Xiuwen and Qin Chengdong were poisoned by dragon marrow incense in Youfeng Tower.

Now, Hua Zigan, who had been deliberately imprisoned and protected by Yang Xuanchen, died again.

There is no doubt that those people hiding in the dark have begun to take action.

Then, Song Xiuwen and Qin Chengdong will become crucial.

Of course, there is also Hua Qianxue. When she wakes up, she must ask about the masked man.

Thinking of this, Yang Xuanchen decided to see what Shen Baoren would find first.

"Shen Tongdai, can you tell me about the masked man just now?"

Shen Baoren saluted, "I have been fighting with that man for a long time, but he just wanted to escape and didn't show his true skills. I can't see why."

"But that man's boots are military boots, the standard military boots of the Sixteenth Guards of Shangjing City!"

After saying that, he glanced at Jiang Li and stepped aside.

Yang Xuanchen and Jiang Li were both shocked, Sixteenth Guards!

"Master Xiao Yang, come here, let me take a step to talk..."

As he spoke, Jiang Li pulled him aside and whispered.

"Shen Tongdai is usually unmistakable. That person must be from the Sixteenth Guards."

"And this person can escape from Shen Baoren and Hua Dangjia, which shows that he is definitely not an ordinary soldier."

Speaking of this, he deliberately paused for a few breaths to give Yang Xuanchen some time to think.

Then Jiang Li's narrowed eyes revealed a gleam of light, and he continued speaking in a voice that only Yang Xuanchen could hear.

"You might as well think about who is behind what Hua Zi did?"

Yang Xuanchen naturally knew who Jiang Li was talking about, but Song Guangxin was just a civil servant. How could he mobilize the people of the Sixteenth Guard?

Things have become a lot more complicated at this point. If the masked man is really a sergeant in the Sixteenth Guards, this will cast another layer of haze on the Yelujin case.

wrong!

Song Guangcheng, the general of Youyi Guards in the Sixteenth Guards!

That day in Zuixian Tower, this guy stabbed himself indiscriminately, and there was even eye contact between him and Song Guangxin.

Thinking of this, Yang Xuanchen expressed the questions in his heart.

"Master Jiang, do you think there is a possibility that Song Guangxin and Song Guangcheng are not at odds with each other as they appear on the surface..."

Jiang Li was immediately shocked when he heard this, "What do you mean..."

Yang Xuanchen nodded heavily, "If my guess is correct, what kind of game do you think they are playing?"

Jiang Li did not speak, but instead lowered his head and began to think.

At this time, Yang Xuanchen walked to Wang Tieshan and whispered for a while, then Wang Tieshan nodded to him and left.

Then, he shouted towards Jiang Li: "Master Jiang, this matter needs to be discussed in the long run. How about we go back to Nanya to discuss it first?"

Jiang Li nodded noncommittally. He also thought that going back to discuss it was the best option, and then everyone returned to the county government office.

Several people stayed up all night, waiting for Hua Qianxue to wake up.

It wasn't until nine o'clock that Hua Qianhui ran to the East Flower Hall recklessly, "Yang Xuanchen, Mr. Jiang, my sister is awake!"
