Chapter 121 Invitation from the Prefect

When Wan Peng saw the content on the paper, especially the word Yang Sanniang, his face trembled, his eyes were full of sternness.

"It's unreasonable!" When he got angry, he overturned the table in front of him, and scattered the wine and dishes all over the floor.

Even though it may be a case from seven years ago, the case of Xu Hu's murder of his wife is still fresh in Wan Peng's memory, but he can't forget it either.

Wan Peng originally came from a poor family, and at first he only got a low-level official in the Ministry of Rites.But he was quite ambitious in his official career, and he tried his best to seek advancement. It was because of his good luck that he did not know when he fell into the eyes of an adult, and after several tests, he recruited him as his son-in-law.Wanpeng married a wife in his early years, but his wife died of illness without being able to enjoy the blessings. He left only one daughter, who has been taken care of by his parents in his hometown.

Relying on the strength of his wife's family, he found a foreign post and served as a county magistrate in another place.It's a pity that the luck was not good, and he was catching up with the drought. He mishandled it and almost caused a civil uprising.The father-in-law sent someone to help. After five years of hard work, the county magistrate of Guanglin was finally vacant.

The father-in-law has repeatedly hinted that he wants to make good achievements in politics and not worry about promotion.

For this reason, when Xu Hu's wife-killing case was encountered, there was a lot of trouble, and it was absolutely impossible for him to turn it into an unsolved case.Unexpectedly, that Xu Hu could endure so much, and the corpse was so difficult to find, and those unscrupulous people even opposed him several times, and it took more than a year before the case was closed.

A year ago, he was promoted and served as the prefect of Guanglin.

Unexpectedly, after many years, someone actually uncovered the old case!

Regardless of whether Yang Sanniang is dead or not, when the case is settled, she should be a dead person. Isn't it self-defeating to ask him to find someone now?

For a while, Wan Peng was full of conspiracy and suspicion, and suspected that it was the work of his political opponents.

When Mu Qingyan heard the news, the market outside was already in chaos.

He went out again this time, and no one stopped him.

Standing at the door of the inn, you can see pedestrians outside panicking to avoid the two sides, and the police officers of the county government government organized the people to search everywhere in teams.Coincidentally, he saw that Yan Lang was among them, so he asked why.

"Impossible, how could he have an accomplice? It's still like this..." Mu Qingyan thought of the person who secretly obstructed him. Could it be that the other party was helping Meng Bin?

Why didn't you help in the first place?Is it because it's a critical moment?

What Yan Lang was worried about was something else: "Meng Bin wants to find Yang Sanniang, but even if Yang Sanniang is not dead, after seven years, who will guarantee that she will still stay in Guanglin Mansion? How could she be found in seven days? If it is from the magistrate's family Miss Gongzi has an accident, I am really worried that blood will flow into rivers."

"Boss! Someone reported the crime!"

Yan Lang said impatiently: "Postponed! We will deal with it two days later!"

Liu Tong hurriedly said: "Boss, it's a homicide case, Yang Darong was killed."

"Yang Darong? Yang Sanniang's elder brother?!" Yan Lang and Mu Qingyan looked at each other and hurried to Yang's house.

Mu Qingyan said: "Send someone to Yu's Fan's house to have a look."

Yan Lang's face was ugly: "You suspect that Meng Bin killed the person? This is unreasonable! Now that the whole city is chasing him, how could he..."

"He has an accomplice!" Actually, Mu Qingyan didn't regard that person as Meng Bin's accomplice, but only as a helper.That person has nothing to do with the case, but he avenged Meng Bin, why?

Could it be that the previous analysis was wrong, and this person likes to "help others"?

When they arrived at Yang's house, they could hear crying from far away.They couldn't help but not cry, the daughter-in-law died just at the beginning of the year, and the grief was slowly healing, but now the head of the family has died, the nature is completely different, for the Yang family, the sky is falling.

"Boss, this is Yang Darong's younger brother, and he is the one who reported the case."

Yang Errong and his elder brother's family were only separated by a wall. When the accident happened, the two brothers were squatting at the door chatting.

"At that time, my elder brother also said that he wanted to find a good marriage for his eldest nephew. Who knew, suddenly he saw a man coming from outside the alley, wearing a black cloak from head to toe. I was facing the entrance of the alley, and I saw him first. I told my elder brother quickly. My elder brother glanced back, he was so courageous, he asked 'what are you doing'. The black cloak suddenly came up with a knife in his hand and slashed at my elder brother's neck. Two or three steps away from my elder brother, blood splashed on my face, and I was immediately paralyzed with fright. When I came back to my senses, the black cloak was gone, so I hurriedly called for help, but my elder brother was already dying." Yang Errong A man in his thirties was crying with snot and tears.

Mu Qingyan saw that Yan Lang was interrogating the details, so he walked a little further and used his ability to go back.

He has a guess.

When the time was turned back to the time when the crime happened, I saw the scene described by Yang Errong.

Going forward in time, there was no black cloak or Meng Bin on the side street, and suddenly, the black cloak appeared!

Mu Qingyan was startled, observed carefully, and saw a touch of purple clothes leaving the black cloak at an extremely fast speed, like a ghost.He couldn't help but compare Wen Jixue with it, but he didn't know who was better.As for the face of the man in purple, he couldn't see clearly because he was wearing a bamboo hat, not to mention that he couldn't see clearly at such a fast speed.

"Brother Mu?"

Mu Qingyan withdrew his ability: "Are you done asking?"

"It's very strange, with such an obvious black cloak, there are people walking around in the small street outside, but no one sees him." Yan Lang sighed: "I have been in Guanglin Mansion for several years. It was a manslaughter. This Meng Bin is capable, this is an addiction to killing and he doesn't plan to stop!"

Next, there were two more potential victims, Yan Lang decided to go to Yu's house first because it was very close.

The most fundamental reason why Mu Qingyan didn't propose to divide the troops was that he couldn't keep up with his physical strength.

These policemen ran all over the city, just sweating a little, but Mu Qingyan's physical strength was much weaker, and he ran all the way from the inn to Yang's house, and he really didn't have the energy to run a few more streets.

"Go slowly and let Liu Tong accompany you." Seeing his flushed face and sweat all over his body, Yan Lang couldn't help shaking his head: "Your physical strength is too weak."

No, in fact, compared to when he first took over this body, his physical strength has improved a lot.

Liu Tong was trying to persuade him to find a shop to sit down and have a good rest, anyway, there are enough manpower for the boss Yan Bu, and there is no shortage of the two of them.Suddenly there was a sound of footsteps, several people ran in from the alley, all in silk clothes, the leader was a middle-aged man who looked somewhat familiar.

"Liu Tong, is he Mu Qingyan from Fenglin County?" the visitor opened his mouth and asked.

Thinking of the other party's identity, Liu Tong was a little surprised: "Wu Guanshi? Yes, this is Mr. Mu Qingyan from Fenglin County."

After speaking, he explained to Mu Qingyan: "Guard Wu is in the residence of the magistrate."

The implication is that the other party was sent by the prefect Wanpeng.

"Mr. Mu, the prefect welcomes you!" Steward Wu said politely, but his posture was not polite at all. He raised his hand as a sign of invitation, and there was a carriage parked outside the alley.

Mu Qingyan nodded and left Liu Tong behind: "Tell Boss Yan Bu."

Liu Tong was just a small policeman, so naturally he didn't dare to confront the steward of the magistrate's family, so even though he thought the invitation was weird, he didn't dare to stop him.Watching Mu Qingyan board the carriage and the carriage left, Liu Tong turned around and ran towards Yu's house.

The Yu family was across the street from the Yang family, so they ran wildly and arrived in a short while.

There was no crying at Yu's house, not because Yu Yuxing was fine, but because Yu Yuxing was not at home.

When Yu's wife saw that the policemen came to the door, and learned that something might happen to her family like the Yang family, she said anxiously and angrily: "That murderer! I told him not to let him go out, but he insisted on something important to do. I Bah! When I am a fool, he has an appointment with the little whore in Willow Branch Alley! I know, he will die on a woman sooner or later!"

Even though he kept cursing, he hurriedly urged the policemen to go to Liuzhi Alley, fearing that if they were too late, they would disappear.

Almost all the people living in Liuzhi Alley are prostitutes, small households, raising a few daughters to entertain guests. They are usually called prostitutes, or half-closed doors.Some people who are tired of flower houses like to go to the alleys to find fragrances, or men who have no extra money, go to such places to satisfy their greed.

Just as Yan Lang was about to leave, he saw Liu Tong running towards him, but Mu Qingyan was nowhere to be seen.

"What happened? Where is Mr. Mu?"

"Boss, Steward Wu from the prefect's family is here, please leave Mr. Mu by name."

Yan Lang was taken aback: "How did the prefect know that Mu Qingyan is in Guanglin Mansion?"

So what if he knew, Mu Qingyan was indeed well-known in Fenglin County, or spread it in Jinhe Mansion, but few people knew about it in Guanglin Mansion.The magistrate is a fourth-rank official, and Wan Peng is the kind of person who thinks highly of himself, how can he take a small farm boy in his eyes?

Yan Lang was really worried for a moment.

He was worried that someone deliberately pushed Mu Qingyan to top the tank in order to get away.

Now that the magistrate is in a rage, his sons and daughters have been robbed, and Mu Qingyan is famous for solving cases, if the magistrate asks him to find Yang Sanniang within seven days...

It's totally possible!

Mu Qingyan was also thinking about this question, but he and Yan Lang had different suspicions.

He felt that this should be done by the man in purple.

Just like the man in purple brought him to Guanglin Mansion and asked him to find out the beautiful girl in blue skirt, now the truth of this murder case is basically revealed.This led to the murder of Xu Hu's wife seven years ago. Meng Bin proposed to the magistrate to find Yang Sanniang in order to complain about the unjust case seven years ago. , Continue to weigh his ability.

If this is the case, it will be more troublesome.

For the case seven years ago, within seven days, it is not realistic to slowly search for clues.

The carriage stopped, and Steward Wu led him into the back hall of the government office.

A man in his forties, with a beard on his face, sat upright. He was the prefect Wanpeng.

Wan Peng was already very anxious, and couldn't hide his surprise when he saw the person brought in by Manager Wu: "He is Mu Qingyan? It's just nonsense!"
