I, Dayan of the senior department, never dies

An underfed wolf.

"50 taels of silver, I can give it to you."

"Do not."

Hei Si had a smile on his face.

"It's 50 taels of gold."

"You! You are too greedy."

Yang Baocai glanced at him in disgust.

"Meicheng is not considered a barren land."

Hei Si looked at him and revealed those secrets:

"But you lie about banditry and disasters every year, and the imperial court exempts you every year. But the tribute and official taxes that the people pay truthfully every year, all go into the private pockets of you corrupt officials."

Seeing that Yang Baocai was speechless, Hei Si raised his head and said:

"As for me, Black Four, I am a killer who makes a living by killing. It is only natural to eliminate disasters and take money from others."

"You said."

Hei Si looked at Yang Baocai.

"Who are you and me, the greedy ghost?"

"Don't even think about it. How many of your heads can be saved by this 50 taels of gold?"

"That woman surnamed Kai is not stupid, if she finds out some evidence..."

"do not talk!"

Yang Baocai gave a cold snort.

"I can give you the 50 taels of gold."

"But you have to promise that after you get the gold, leave Meicheng immediately and don't let me see you again."

"Just right, I don't want to stay here for a long time in this troubled time."

Hei Si changed the topic, and said again:

"But I'm taking my cousin with me."

"You are too much!"

Yang Baocai felt even more disgusted.

"Honggu, this is my wife who was married with four fingers. You forced her into prostitution and pushed her into the pit of fire."

Hei Si stared at Yang Baocai, the threat in his words was undisguised.

"I'm black four. I found my own cousin after a lot of trouble. It's already polite not to settle old scores with you!"

"If you are not satisfied..."

Hei Si clenched his fist at him, and the obsidian covered it could easily beat him to pieces.

"The one surnamed Gu is an example."

"Okay, I'm going to get the gold now."

"You wait. After you get the gold, leave here, as far away as possible!"

Yang Baocai snorted coldly, turned around and left.

Go back to 32 and pick up important clues after taking a walk?

"Master Kai, the falling horse slope is ahead."

Mei Wanniang was leading the way, while Kalxi and Bai Zhi followed.

Zhui Ma Po, although it is a slope, but looking down at the edge of the slope, the deep gullies and gullies cannot be regarded as slopes.

"It's so tall... I'm afraid that if you fall, you will go directly to reincarnation."

Bai Zhi made a gesture, and the ratio of the cliff-like land boundary to the ordinary hillside was as astonishing as the bust gap between Lord Kai and Mei Wanniang.

"Father doesn't fall for no reason."

Mei Wanniang looked sad, but she still couldn't believe that her father was a dejected old man who fell to his death due to inconvenient hands and feet.

"Besides, my father was carrying a secret letter that day, so with his vigilance, he wouldn't pass through here unprepared."

"listen!"

Kelsey raised her right hand to signal the two to be quiet.

"Someone is calling for help!"

Bai Zhi heard the cry for help from below from the wind.

"Quick! Save people."

Under Mei Wanniang's guidance, the three of them found the way down the slope and quickly reached the bottom of the slope.

"Help! Come on everyone! Help!"

Before going downhill, you can see a woman in red hanging from a tree and crying bitterly.On the ground below her, a man lay motionless.

"Bai Zhi, save her."

Kelsey went to check on the man's condition.

"This is……"

After seeing the man's face clearly, Kelsey shivered slightly.

This is the martial artist who was following Lu Huaide.

Open his eyelids, touch his chest, and sniff his breath.

"Black four! Black four!"

After the woman was rescued, she immediately broke free from Bai Zhi's support, and crawled to find the man.

"Wake up! Black Four!"

She shook the man's arm desperately, but no matter how much she cried, she couldn't save his life.

"do not Cry."

Bai Zhi couldn't stand it any longer, and stepped forward to pull her away.

"If it wasn't for the tree to hang you, you would have been smashed into a meat pie like your man. Your life is big enough."

Kelsey glanced at her, then dropped the man's arm and asked her:

"What did he have for lunch?"

The woman didn't answer, just kept crying.

"Okay! Don't cry. The imperial envoy is here. If you have any grievances, you can say it."

"...Are you an imperial envoy?"

Hearing this, the woman looked at Kelsey in astonishment, sobbed twice in her throat, and then fainted.

"Master Kai, what's going on, why is she so dizzy?"

Bai Zhi raised her eyebrows, and looked at the fainted woman in puzzlement.

"Take her and let's go."

Kelsey stood up, ready to go back.

"Oh."

Bai Zhi carried the woman on her shoulders like a sack, and left with the two of them.

"So my lord, why did she faint suddenly?"

Back to the inn that he found secretly, put the woman back on the bed, Bai Zhi asked the question just now again.

"Excessive fright and fainting caused by the fall. But the point is why did she faint after hearing that we were imperial envoys?"

Kelsey took her pulse and answered Bai Zhi's question with questions.

"Oh!"

Bai Zhi thought of it.

"I'm afraid it's not a real one. Otherwise, she wouldn't faint out of fear."

"That's right. Another reason is her 'husband.'"

Kelsey put her hands back under the quilt, turned around and explained to the two of them.

"The man who fell to his death?"

Mei Wanniang seemed to think of something, but hesitated to say it.

"Baizhi, you saw it."

"Well. That man is the martial artist who has been following Lu Huaide."

"That's right. How could such a strong man fall off that slope for no reason because of his external skills?"

Kelsey recalled the various symptoms of the man when he died.

"That's right. With his external martial arts attainments, even if he falls from the top, he should be able to survive for a while... Uh, did I use the wrong word?"

While Bai Zhi was talking, suddenly seeing the two of them looking at her together, she stuck out her tongue in embarrassment.

"The man's death condition is soft to the touch, black lips, and a foul smell. He died from the rupture of internal organs caused by the poison in his body."

"Another murder!"

Mei Wanniang was startled.

"Definitely murder."

Bai Zhi agreed.

"Miss Mei, take good care of her. You must let her speak."

Lynx stood up with a gleam in his eyes.

"I have a hunch that she may be an important witness for us to break the situation."

"I see, Mr. Kay. Don't worry."

Hearing this, Mei Wanniang clenched her hands tightly and responded firmly.

"call……"

After taking a sip of water, Kelsey asked Mei Wanniang again:

"Miss Mei, just now you said that your father left with a secret letter?"

Mei Wanniang had already talked about this when it happened, but Kelsey wanted to know more about it.

"Yes."

Mei Wanniang came to her side and said to her:

"The secret letter is all the evidence that my father spent a long time collecting after he became the magistrate of Meicheng County. The county magistrates of Meixian County have been doing bad things for the village for more than ten years, collecting exorbitant taxes without authorization, setting up torture halls privately, and disregarding human lives."

"On the day of the incident, my father was the Lord Zhizhou who brought this secret letter to see him."

"..."

"That day... Master Zhizhou still left his father to have lunch in Zhizhou Mansion. But who would have thought... that he would fall off the falling horse slope on the way back."

"Ok?"

Lynx looked over with sharp eyes, startled little thrush, and thought she had said something wrong.

"Miss Mei, do you mean that your father came back after having lunch at Zhizhou Mansion?"

"Yes."

"How sure?"
