The black-bellied peasant girl is reborn, and her weird relatives are mad

"This is difficult." Jiang Muxia frowned, "If you don't know, how can you investigate?"

The weapons from the Western Regions are not something that ordinary people can use. How is she going to find this person hiding in Suanzao County?

She suddenly felt a headache and rubbed her eyebrows hard with her fingers, with deep worry on her face.

The sky is blue and cloudless.

The sun in the cold winter is like a huge wind lantern hanging high in the sky, illuminating the sky with a dim yellow color.

In the inner hall of Suanzao County Yamen, Tang Zhongbai and Feng Nian sat on either side of the hall.

Both of them looked unhappy, one had a serious and determined expression, and the other had a gloomy face.

"You have revealed your identity. Are you determined to go against me?" Feng Nian suppressed his anger. He did not agree to let him come here for training in the beginning. He was afraid that the current situation would occur.

It has been less than two months since he arrived here, and Tang Zhongbai is already trying to seize his power. How could he tolerate this!

For more than ten years, he stayed in this small place and built a world in isolation.

Although he has never been promoted, he lives here like a fish in water, free and at ease, and he does not allow anyone to challenge his rights.

"Oppose?" Tang Zhongbai asked back, "I never thought of opposing you when I came here. My only purpose was to help you govern Suanzao County. Why don't you help me but instead make trouble for me? Have you forgotten your original intention of coming to Suanzao County?"

Ten years ago, he was still young, but he still remembered that as a capable servant beside his father, when Feng Nian heard his father ask him to be the county magistrate of Suanzao County, he was grateful and confident. He could still vividly remember the scene of him swearing in front of his father that he would govern Suanzao County well and would never embarrass his father.

It turns out that things and people have changed!

"Of course I remember. Isn't Suanzao County doing well now? Everyone has enough to eat and warm clothes to wear. Isn't it the result of my hard work over the past decade?" Feng Nian waved his sleeves, feeling that he had done a great deed.

Tang Zhongbai sneered, "You are the magistrate of a county, and you should make decisions for the people. Since I came to Suanzao County, you first wanted to indulge Xun Qing to protect the Ye family, and now you are trying every means to stop me from investigating the Lin family's case. I don't understand, what exactly do you want to do?"

Feng Nian sighed, the anger on his face eased a little, he said helplessly: "I'm not trying to stop you, this is such a big case, do you think I don't want to find the real culprit and close the case as soon as possible? You are still too young and don't understand the interests involved. If I really let you dig deeper, both your life and mine will be in danger."

Tang Zhongbai was stunned, "What do you mean?"

"Why do you think Lin Jianfei, a small village head, dares to act so recklessly? Is it just because he is the brother-in-law of Mr. Wei? Mr. Wei's sister has been dead for so many years, and the little affection they had has long faded. He touched his master's weak spot and was wiped out."

"Who is his master?" Tang Zhongbai didn't care about that. He just wanted to find out the real murderer and give an explanation to the innocent dead.

Feng Nian shook his head. Tang Zhongbai glanced at him and felt a chill in his heart. He was extremely disappointed in him.

Tang Zhongbai looked determined, "You don't have to tell me, but I will get to the bottom of it."

"You are really a newborn calf who is not afraid of tigers. Do you still want to investigate even if it means losing the entire Tang family?" Feng Nian stared at him warningly and asked word by word.

"You mean the master of the Lin family is a high-ranking official in Beijing?" Tang Zhongbai's eyes flashed. He couldn't understand who would reach out to such a small place and what their intentions were.

"Think carefully, who in Beijing is surnamed Lin, and whose relative is he..." He left the words half-answered, guessing that with Tang Zhongbai's intelligence, he should be able to guess who it is!

Although Tang Zhongbai followed his parents to Chenliu at a very young age, his father often told him and his three brothers about what happened in the capital at home.

After his brother got married, he returned to Beijing to take up his post. He often wrote to him, occasionally mentioning what happened in Beijing.

So even though he did not live in Beijing, he was still familiar with the officials there.

After listening to Feng Nian's words, he frowned and thought carefully, and thought of a person, Prince Rui, who had an excellent reputation and always accompanied the emperor.

He is the younger brother of the current emperor from the same mother. In order to support the emperor's ascension to the throne, he killed many people and eliminated many opponents.

How could such a person kill a tiny ant like Lin Jianfei?

Tang Zhongbai looked at Feng Nian with half belief and half doubt, "I will check it out." After saying that, he stood up and was about to leave.

Feng Nian kept shouting behind him, with concern and worry in his tone, "You must be obedient and don't get involved. The Tang family can't afford to offend him."

After Tang Zhongbai walked away, Feng Nian showed a triumphant expression.

He hated the Tang family in his heart and muttered to himself, "You are unfair to me, don't blame me for being ruthless."

In a corner he didn't know, a slender figure looked at him in disbelief at his ferocious expression. Then the shadow covered its mouth, trembling all over, and quietly left the back hall.

It was getting dark, and Tang San, who was waiting outside the hall, felt relieved when he saw that there was no conflict between the two.

But from the heavy expression on Tang Zhongbai's face, I knew that things were not going smoothly.

"Let's go back to the restaurant."

The two arrived at the restaurant and Jiang Muxia was still on the second floor of the pub.

The three of them remained silent. No one spoke, and no one left. They just sat there quietly.

This was the scene Tang Zhongbai saw when he opened the door.

"What's wrong?" Jiang Muxia asked hurriedly when she saw him.

Tang Zhongbai shook his head. "County Magistrate Feng will not stop me from investigating the case, but he provided a very important piece of information. I am trying to judge whether what he said is true or false."

He said that he told the three people in detail what Feng Nian had said to him, trying to make his thoughts clearer through their analysis.

"What do you think of the character of County Magistrate Feng? Do you agree with what he says from the bottom of your heart?" Xu Da asked.

Tang Zhongbai was silent for a moment and shook his head repeatedly, "I don't know. He, he is different from the Uncle Feng I knew when I was a child."

"Your intuition won't deceive you. Since you don't trust him, you should take his words with a big grain of salt. Maybe he wants you to help him do something." Xu Da said, "I have been in Suanzao County for some years. I know more about what Magistrate Feng has done than you do. I am sure he is lying."

Wei Dong said, "That's right, Brother Xu is right. He was against you at first. How could he suddenly provide you with clues for something that you were not allowed to get involved in?"

Jiang Muxia thought of the fate of the Tang family in the previous life, the crime of joining forces with the vassal kings to rebel. Thinking of what County Magistrate Feng said today, she suddenly had a bold guess.

Could it be that County Magistrate Feng had colluded with others to frame the Tang family?

Thinking of this, she broke out in a cold sweat. If it was true, it would be too scary.

At the end of the 3:00 p.m. time, two officials heading to Yangguan County braved the cold wind and brought Zhang Chuncao to the Suanzao County government office.

She was temporarily locked up in the back court, waiting for the trial to begin at dawn.

The strong wind has stopped, but the sky in Suanzao County is still cloudless and the weather is clear.

The strong wind took away the temperature, and the temperature dropped even lower, and a thick layer of ice froze over the ferry river.

Fewer people are going out.

At 1:00 p.m. on the second day, people who heard that the Lin family murder case was about to go to trial braved the severe cold and came to the county government office. They all wanted to see who was the kind-hearted person who had murdered the Lin family.

Jiang Muxia, wrapped in a thick plain green cloak, stood among the crowd.

Zhang Chuncao was brought to court.

Before Feng Nian could ask, Zhang Chuncao knelt down and shouted, "All fifteen members of the Lin family died at my hands. It has nothing to do with anyone else. Please understand, magistrate."

Her words shocked everyone present.
