Queen's Detective

"Everyone, be safe and don't be impatient! Be safe and don't be impatient!" Magistrate Cai shouted hoarsely inside the door, trying his best to calm down the excited villagers, but it didn't work.Everyone kept pushing in, yelling for the people of Dali Temple to leave immediately, there is no such thing as a murder case here.

The so-called strength comes from a large number of people, and they absolutely dare not do this when they are alone, but with so many people gathered together, and with the village chief family taking the lead, they created an air of righteousness and confidence.County magistrate Cai is a scholar who meets a soldier, and it is hard to tell if he is powerful.

Guan Qingci has lived in Chang'an for a long time, if you encounter a person who doesn't seem to care about Dali Temple, the black iron cell is waiting for you, where have you ever encountered such a scene.A group of people suddenly looked at each other in blank dismay, each of them was uncomfortable.

Everyone turned their eyes to Guan Qingci for help, Guan Qingci was also aroused at this time, and the frost on his face was about to form a soldier, only to see the sword eyebrows raised, and the sharp breath was like a sword glow. Cum off, "Shut up!"

The aura of Guan Qingci's young minister of Dali Temple was not something these rural villagers could resist. For a while, everyone fell silent, looking at Guan Qingci in a murmur, not daring to speak.

Guan Qingci glanced around for a week, "Are you trying to rebel by coercing the court officials?!"

rebel? !Upon hearing this word, the villagers immediately panicked. Although they believed in these gods and ghosts, rebellion was a serious crime, and it must never be mentioned!

For a moment, everyone was frightened, only Li Mao, the son of Village Zheng, gathered himself together and said, "My lord, you are too serious, we just think that Liu Fu, Wang Li and others obviously committed suicide. Don't bother Dali Temple to go out, we also want to restore calm as soon as possible, and the villagers should go back to farming as soon as possible, right?" "Suicide?" Yan Sanbai heard the words, pushed Ling Ding and Zhang Yan to the front, and stared straight into his eyes. Staring at Li Mao, "Are you sure they committed suicide?"

Li Maolang said: "Of course, both Zhang Qing and Wang Li were hanged to death. Liu Fu probably accidentally fell into the stream and drowned when he went up the mountain. Is there anything wrong with that?" How do you explain it?" Yan Sanbai was neither arrogant nor impetuous, his starry eyes were bright, as if they could shine into his heart, making people feel uneasy, as if he had seen through them all.

Li Mao felt this way, and he hurriedly said: "There have been legends of fox demons in my Daqing Township since ancient times. This time, three people died all at once. punishment!" "Oh?" Yan Sanbai's eyes sharpened suddenly, "Then according to what you mean, the status of the fox demon is higher than that of the current true dragon emperor?"

Li Mao stared coldly, "I didn't say that, you are planting a frame! Framed!"

Yan Sanbai chuckled, "How did I slander you? This world is today's world, and Daqing Township is today's Daqing Township. Now that something happened here, His Majesty sent Dali Temple to investigate the case. It was him Where the power lies, you are trying to drive out the people of Dali Temple for a mere non-existent fox demon. Isn't it disrespectful to His Majesty? In your hearts, don't you think that the status of the fox demon is higher than your majesty?"

Yan Sanbai asked several rhetorical questions in succession, and stopped Li Mao from asking. You and you, you and you, you and you for a long time, but couldn't find when to refute, so I could only point at him angrily, "You are planting! punish!"

Guan Qingci originally held a breath in his throat, but now looking at the situation, he folded his arms and watched from the sidelines.

Yan Sanbai didn't care, he was still calm and gentle, standing in front of everyone, "It's disloyal for you to place the matter of fox demons above His Majesty's jurisdiction. People died one after another, but you tried to It is unrighteous to put all the faults on the dead and not to investigate the truth. Liu Fu and others come from the same source as you, and you are a family for several generations. You disregard your ancestors and deal with it so hastily The matter of their descendants is unfilial. So, disloyal, unrighteous, and unfilial, what face do you have, and what position do you have to obstruct Dali Temple from handling the case?"

Yan Sanbai seemed gentle and harmless, but following his words, his aura rose again and again, making all the villagers feel like a mountain was crushed in their hearts.Disloyalty, unrighteousness and filial piety, what a sinful crime, especially unfilial piety, the most unacceptable thing for the villagers to devote so much effort to enshrining the ancestral hall is to be disrespectful to their ancestors, but Yan Sanbai put this hat on over their heads!

Li Mao blushed involuntarily, half angry, half anxious, "Folks, don't listen to this man's gossip! He is deceiving you!"

Unexpectedly, Yan Sanbai said lightly again, "I am the number one detective bestowed by His Majesty, if you question me, it is tantamount to questioning Your Majesty."

The implication is - do you want to rebel?

Yan Sanbai is the number one scholar in literature, not to mention the classics, even the oral skills are excellent, but he usually doesn't want to argue with others.And what about Li Mao and the others?No matter how stubborn he is, no matter how he refuses to listen to the truth, after all, he is just a villager at the foot of the Daqing Mountain who has never seen many markets, and even those who care about him will not say, where is Yan Sanbai's opponent.

If you go any further, you will really be called a rebel! "Let's go!" Li Mao finally flicked his sleeves and left angrily. The rest of the people also dispersed one after another, feeling like they were running away.

The people of Dali Temple saw it, and couldn't help being amazed, Yan Xiatan, it's really amazing!

Guan Qingci also looked at him with admiration - this Yan Sanbai not only has an easy-going personality, but also has such a good tongue.

Yan Sanbai rubbed his nose, a little embarrassed, but at the same time he thought, it would be great if Li Yan was here, there is no need for him to go out on his own, a king of Luoyang, with one mouth, sweeping across a large area. "The atmosphere in the village is becoming more and more tense. I guess this is just an appetizer. If they don't succeed once, they will definitely find a way to drive us out again." Back in the house, Yan Sanbai thought for a while, and said: "We have to get us out as soon as possible." Find out about these things." "Is there something really wrong with them? We didn't have enough to eat, and we came all the way to help them solve the case, but they were lucky enough to find a way to drive us away." Ling Ding said dissatisfied.

Yan Sanbai and Guan Qingci looked at each other and said, "Yes, it's very strange, so there must be a reason for this."

Hearing what he said, Ling Ding also came to his senses, "You mean...they did it on purpose?" "Most people should have been led away, but there must be some of them on purpose." Yan Sanbai was sure He said: "Look, Master Guan was almost murdered by someone at the Broken Bridge in the morning. When the matter failed, someone rushed over to drive us away. The other party seemed very anxious." Yes, they definitely don't want us Continue to investigate." Guan Qing resigned. "Is there any hidden secret in this small Daqing Township?" Zhang Yan was really puzzled, and the time he came here has really opened his eyes. "Well, just look it up." Ling Ding thought of more, and followed Yan Sanbai, his mind became more and more flexible, "I think we have to check this Daqing Township first, this one The atmosphere in the whole village is so weird, the problem should not be caused by only one person." "Yes." Yan Sanbai nodded in appreciation, and then they called Cai County magistrate, every place has local chronicles, and there are detailed files, Cai County As the parent officer of Qu County, Ling should know these things best.

Sure enough, County Magistrate Cai said: "There are indeed these, and there are legends of fox demons in my Daqing Township a long time ago, which have been passed down from generation to generation. The villagers usually don't have much contact with outsiders, so I believe it very much. Hey... I was afraid that something would happen one day, so I reported it to the police, hoping to rectify it, who knows that it will still be like this."

Yan Sanbai comforted: "Cai County Magistrate don't need to be sentimental, when the case is solved in a few days, the situation will definitely improve." "I hope so."

Afterwards, County Magistrate Cai took Yan Sanbai and Lone Ding to the county government office to check the files, while Guan Qingci stayed in Daqing Township to avoid any further troubles.

It was already afternoon when they arrived at the county government office. County magistrate Cai thought that Yan Sanbai hadn't had lunch yet, so he wanted to take them to eat something first.Yan Sanbai couldn't refuse, so he agreed to buy a few steamed buns on the side of the road, and as for eating out, that was absolutely unacceptable.

However, when they finished buying the buns and forgot the direction of the county government office, they saw a fire rising not far away, and County Magistrate Cai's face suddenly changed, "It's the county government office!"

Yan Sanbai's expression froze, and he hurried over as quickly as possible, but it was too late, half of the county government office was submerged in the flames, the government officials and the surrounding neighbors rushed to put out the fire, but it was already too late.

Among the buildings that were burned was the dossier room that Yan Sanbai was going to visit this time.

The reason for the fire was very simple. A certain yamen servant took a few puffs of his pipe while he was free. Unexpectedly, the sparks fell on the paper, so the water disappeared.But Yan Sanbai frowned slightly, telling him intuitively that things were not that simple.

But if there is something hidden in it, who burned down the county government office?What is his purpose to cover up?

Yan Sanbai stood at the gate of the yamen, looking at the fire that was gradually extinguished under the splash of cold water, lost in thought.

At this time, there were a few impatient shouts and curses from across the street. "I said, why don't you listen? I said that these herbs are only worth three pennies. If you don't believe me, go to any pharmacy and ask. If I lie to you, I will eat these herbs in front of you! "

Another younger voice confronted him, "Hey shopkeeper, you can't do this when you open the door for business, can you buy it if you want to buy it, and knock it down if you don't buy it, do you look down on people?" "I really despise you like this... ..."

Hearing the quarrel, Yan Sanbai couldn't help turning his head to look, and unexpectedly saw an acquaintance.

It was the young man from Daqing Township, carrying a small back basket and tucked into his waist, looking at the shopkeeper opposite him with an expression of resentment, "Haven't you heard a sentence? Don't bully the young and poor!"
