With the scorching sun in the sky, there were many people gathered in the main hall of the City Lord's Mansion, those who were sitting and standing, all put on expressions of watching the excitement.

Lou Muge was still dressed in spotless white clothes, sitting on the main seat in the lobby, the bone fan in his hand was shaking slowly and casually, but no sound was heard from the hanging copper bell.

Below the main seat, there are two rows of secondary seats. Liang Yanbei lives on the left, tapping lightly on the table with his slender fingers.

Wen Chan sat beside him, resting his head on his palms, yawned quietly, some red threads appeared in his eyes.

Last night he was busy until midnight, and this morning he was called here again. Wen Chan, who was seriously deprived of sleep, felt that his eyelids were extremely heavy.

Seeing him yawn again, Liang Yanbei pressed his fingers hard, making four muffled sounds, and said impatiently, "How long do we have to wait?"

Lou Muge raised his eyes, "Where's the person?"

"Lord Lou, my father missed his second brother yesterday and stayed up all night in pain. He is a bit late now, and I hope the Lord will forgive me." A man on the right of the seat answered.

Tan Qiong, Yun Yongxu and others sat in the row on the right.

The person who spoke had two points of resemblance to Yao Yanming in his eyebrows. He had already reported his name when they first met. He was Yao Yanming's elder brother, Yao Yanfei.

"When I was slandering someone before, my actions were quite neat. Why is it that I want to tell him the truth now, but I haven't come here for a long time." Liang Yanbei seemed to be careless.

Yao Yanfei glared at him sharply after hearing his words with disdain.

Liang Yanbei raised his eyebrows slightly, not at all frightened by his eyes, and even asked, "Why?"

The one surnamed Yao was no better than the one surnamed Liang, so Yao Yanfei didn't say anything, and silently looked away.

"No more." Lou Muge, who seemed to be more patient than anyone else, was the first to give up waiting, and said directly to Liang Yanbei, "Whatever you found out in the past two days, just tell me, and the matter will be settled early."

"That's true." Yun Yongxu said, "Who killed the second son of the family, have you found out?"

"Naturally." Liang Yanbei said, "If you can't find out, why don't you be a scapegoat for others?"

Tang Yixiao made sarcastic remarks from the side, "I just saw that Brother Yanbei was so busy these two days that he barely touched the ground, so he almost flew up and hurried on his way."

Before Liang Yanbei himself said anything, Tang Qin said, "Say less."

"Hurry up." Wen Chan was so sleepy that he didn't want to see everyone arguing, so he urged him.

"Okay." He replied first, and then said to Tan Qiong, "Sect Master Tan, you said that your daughter saw our people go to Yao Er's residence, right?"

Tan Qiong didn't expect him to be the first to perform the surgery himself, and she was stunned for a moment and said, "That's right."

Liang Yanbei said, "Then let me just say that your daughter is the real murderer of Yao Er."

"Nonsense!" Upon hearing this, Tan Qiong was furious on the spot, and slapped the table with a loud bang, "Young Master Liang, you need evidence for what you say!"

Wen Chan was startled by this sudden shock, and frowned slightly, "Since I said it, there must be evidence, so you don't have to shout like that."

Tan Qiong glared at him, "My daughter and Yan Ming have had a marriage contract since they were young. The two grew up together, and their love is as deep as the ocean. How could they do such a thing?"

"Your daughter doesn't show the slightest affection." Liang Yanbei sneered, "I'm afraid she has already planned to kill him."

As soon as the words fell, Tan Yuji, who was standing in the crowd, cried and threw herself into Tan Qiong's arms, "Why are you spitting blood here in broad daylight, are people surnamed Liang so unreasonable?"

Tan Qiong's younger sister, Tan Xian, was about the same age as Tan Yuji. Seeing her crying pitifully at this moment, she also said angrily, "Mr. Liang, please explain carefully!"

"My cousin didn't finish talking and you all cried and said you were wronged. How can you explain it?" Shan Ke slapped the table and chairs and shouted, "You all shut up and listen to my cousin!"

In the past two days, because of Liang Yanbei's matter, his temper has exploded, and there are small blisters on his mouth, which is not pleasing to anyone.

"Invite people up." Liang Yanbei said.

In just a moment, He Zhiyi, who had been waiting all this time, walked in wearing an official robe, and everyone in the room stared at him.

There are still some bruises on his face, which looks a little funny.

After exchanging glances with Liang Yanbei, he cupped his hands to Lou Muge, "Master Lou, I just came here to take up my post two days ago, and I don't have time to come to meet you, please forgive me."

Lou Muge also stood up, "The county magistrate is joking, please sit down."

"You don't need to sit down, I'm here just to say a few words." He Zhiyi said pretendingly.

He slept soundly in the middle of the night last night, and was suddenly frightened to death by Liang Yanbei and Wen Chan who appeared beside the bed, and only after listening to Liang Yanbei's words did he know why they came.

After sending people away, He Zhiyi barely slept in the middle of the night, and was quite tired at the moment.

He thinks that these two people are probably mentally ill, so it's fine if they don't sleep well in the middle of the night, and they run to other people's bedside to scare others, which is really a disaster.

"Please speak, magistrate." Lou Muge sat down again.

He Zhiyi looked around at the people in the room, her eyes fixed on Tan Yuji, and before she could speak, Tan Yuji shook her body.

"Master He, do you recognize it?" Liang Yanbei asked.

"It's her." He Zhiyi pointed to Tan Yuji and said, "I went to the yamen to pick horse ear grass two nights ago."

After hearing what he said, Tan Yuji showed panic at this moment, and immediately blurted out, "I didn't!"

"I saw it with my own eyes." He Zhiyi said firmly.

In fact, he didn't see it. In fact, he was still trembling in the bandit's den that night and cursed the person who deliberately pointed him the wrong way. It was just for this reason that Liang Yanbei woke him up in the middle of the night last night.

Ask him to personally identify a girl who once went to the Yamen to pick horse ear grass.

He Zhiyi also understood later that this matter was not fabricated out of thin air, but was seen by the yamen servants, and Liang Yanbei wanted to tell it from his own mouth.

Perhaps the words of a county magistrate carry much more weight than the words of a yamen servant.

Tan Yuji insisted on denying, "I didn't! I didn't! You may be wrong."

He Zhiyi's face darkened, and he said fiercely, "You mean I have a problem with my eyes?"

May Island has always been dominated by Yao Tan and Bliss City, and Tan Yuji is not afraid of the county magistrate at all, let alone a young county magistrate, so she said, "You must have misread it, or you will accept it." Slander me for the benefit of others!"

Even Tan Qiong put pressure from the sidelines, "The county magistrate should think about it, who did you see that day?"

The sinister gaze successfully frightened He Zhiyi.

Seeing this, Liang Yanbei suddenly slapped a jade tablet on the table in a non-heavy way, making a lot of noise, which attracted everyone's attention.

I saw that the jade tablet was translucent and made of high-quality materials, and the big character "Huang" wrapped with gold threads was engraved on the top.

The lobby, which was still thinking of murmured discussions, was suddenly so quiet that a needle could be heard.

"Don't think that the sky is high and the emperor is far away, so you can ignore the law and discipline and do evil. Officials are officials, and they will always be higher than the people." Liang Yanbei's eyes were full of coldness. Although he was smiling, they were like wind blades in the twelfth moon. Bone-piercing, "Do you know what is the crime of humiliating the court officials?"

Tan Yuji flinched from his fright, blushing but did not dare to refute.

After all, Tan Qiong was old, so she wasn't frightened by these two sentences, but her face was not very good-looking, "Mr. Liang wants to use his identity to force my daughter to confess?"

"Forcing?" Liang Yanbei laughed, "If I want to ask about your crimes, why use force? As Palace Master Yun said, destroying your Tan family is just a matter of fingertips, so why bother?"

"The land of the world, is it the land of kings? The land you step on has a king, and you cannot be lawless." Wen Chan chimed in.

The Jianghu and the royal family have been at odds since ancient times, and most of the people standing here are from the Jianghu. Hearing these words would feel uncomfortable to some extent, but no one dared to stand up and contradict them.

I just hope that the big sect above will be the leader.

But no one from Yao and Tan's family spoke, Fang's family didn't come at all, and Yun Yongxu was an idiot.

However, Muge, the main building of the city, looked in agreement, and no one dared to speak for a while.

With the backing of a big shot, He Zhiyi was quite arrogant at this moment, he hummed and said, "Don't argue, I can see clearly that it is you who I say is you."

Tan Yuji gritted her teeth, subconsciously cast her eyes for help to Yao Yanfei, but the latter was evasive.

"You delivered wine to Yao Er two nights ago. The wine was poisonous. One of the herbs in it was horse ear grass. The medicine of horse ear grass is short-lived, so you need to pick it now. That's why you went to pick that grass in the middle of the night, but you didn't want to , happened to be seen by the county magistrate." Wen Chan frowned, with a serious expression, and the coercion of the perennial superiors appeared invisible, causing many people to hold their breath.

"Yao Yanming died of two poisons in his body. You didn't kill him directly, but you were also one of the murderers." He said.

This kind of Wen Chan, calm and calm, even with the face of a 16-year-old boy, is still hard to be underestimated.

Liang Yanbei's eyes stared straight at his side, his fingers were still tapping slowly, but there was a smile on his casual face, like silent approval.

While everyone was still immersed in what Wen Chan said, Shan Ke only noticed his cousin's expression.

Still say there is no problem?Those eyes were so gentle that they almost squeezed out water. When did he, Liang Yanbei, look at a man like this?

This is a big problem!

"It's not true!" Shan Ke was heartbroken, and he let out his anger on Tan Yuji with a loud shout, "What a vicious woman you are, you have a black heart to murder the husband-in-law who grew up with you, it's completely devoid of conscience!"

After scolding, he felt something was wrong, so what does Yao Yanming's death have to do with him?Why did he want to speak for that trash, so he said again, "It's fine to kill someone, but to frame someone else, can't you treat everyone else as a fool?"

When has Tan Yuji been scolded like this before, her eyes were full of tears, she said pitifully, "I really didn't, the day before yesterday I sent wine to brother Yan Ming because I knew he liked to drink, and I happened to get another jar of good wine , that's why I sent it to him, but I don't know why there is poison in that wine..."

"Mother, you have to trust me!" She turned to Tan Qiong for help.

"Don't worry, mother must believe you." Seeing her daughter crying pitifully, Tan Qiong couldn't bear it.

"If you don't know, it's like pushing the matter away? It's not that easy." Tang Yixiao gave her a cold look, the impatience on his face was about to overflow, he tapped the table twice with his fingertips, "Stand up."

He said this sentence without beginning or end, and everyone didn't know what it meant. Just when they were wondering, Yao Yanfei stood up from his seat, walked to the hall in two steps and knelt down facing Lou Muge.

No one expected him to make such a move, and everyone began to discuss and speculate after being surprised.

"Second brother was murdered by Yu'er and I. She put poison in the wine, and I put poison in the wine cup. If the two poisons are used alone, they will not kill you, but if they are mixed together, they will cause blood coagulation. There is no cure." He said stiffly.

As soon as these words came out, there was an uproar in the lobby. Some people scolded the two men and women, some people lamented that their flesh and blood would kill each other, and some people refused to believe it. They said everything at once.

Wen Chan glanced at Yao Yanfei and wondered why he was willing to admit it himself?Just as he was thinking, he saw that his eyes were dull and his expression was blank, he was totally different from just now.

Tan Yuji's face faded from all blood and became extremely pale. She stared at Yao Yanfei in horror, "You...what nonsense are you talking about?!"

However, no one cared about what she said.

Lou Muge was not surprised when he saw this, and asked indifferently, "Why did you kill him?"

"He has been favored by his father since he was a child. Obviously I am the eldest son! But my father gave him everything. The pet's faults have raised a notorious waste. What's the use of keeping him? Besides, Yu'er and I are the same The two are in love, and if he dies, Yu'er can marry me." Yao Yanfei continued.

"Kill him and everything will be fine," he said.

Although he didn't know why Yao Yanfei threw himself into the trap at this time, Wen Chan quickly accepted his kindness and said, "Did you hear that? It was the two of them who killed Yao Yanming, and I was just framed!"

"This is impossible..." Tan Qiong couldn't believe it. She looked at Yao Yanfei and then at her daughter, not knowing how to argue.

"I was wronged!" Tan Yuji was almost insane, and she charged Yao Yanfei with all her strength in her palm, as if to hit her.

Liang Yanbei reacted quickly, cut off her hand as soon as he moved, and twisted her strength back, causing her to scream in pain.

He took advantage of the opportunity and threw something into Tan Yuji's mouth before pushing her aside, almost falling to the ground.

Tan Yuji was frightened and went to pick her throat, but the thing turned into liquid water when it entered her mouth, and she swallowed it with a gurgling, and couldn't spit it out at all. She was afraid and angry, "What did you give me to eat?!"

"You can't provoke anyone. Since you are so brave enough to pay attention to me, you should know what the consequences will be." Liang Yanbei said.

Tan Yuji's face was dissatisfied with tears, her facial features were distorted, and she screamed, "You want to kill me?! You gave me poison?!"

The sound is rough and harsh, which is unbearable.

"Okay, now that the truth is out, let's drag these two murderers down." Lou Muge stretched out his hand to press his ear, and called out quickly.

He didn't have the intention to seriously solve the case at all. He already knew who the murderer was, but there were always some troublesome people looking for a reason.

Now that the truth has been told, Lou Muge doesn't want to hear the twists and turns, so he puts the person under arrest first.

Tan Qiong didn't want her daughter to be caught, so she hurriedly stretched her arms to protect her, "Master Lou, there must be some misunderstanding. My daughter is well-behaved and sensible since she was a child. What happened to the murderer? I hope Lord Lou will find out."

"Is there anything else to investigate, the witnesses are all out, don't waste time." Lou Muge didn't give a chance to argue.

The servants of the City Lord's Mansion stepped forward and easily captured Tan Yuji and Yao Yanfei. Even Tan Qiong, who wanted to fight, was easily restrained, and the three were dragged out of the lobby amidst yelling and cursing.
