Demon detective

Chapter 53
"Magistrate Song, what's the matter?"

Unexpectedly, just when Song Zhili was about to go crazy and asked Xu Zhen angrily, a gentle and jade-like voice came from behind everyone.

Everyone looked back and couldn't help being surprised again.

But the person standing at the door turned out to be the one known as the head of the four villains in Yanping County——Wei Yulang! !
Behind Wei Yulang, the butler Lao Liu and several servants followed.

The servants used double poles to carry more than ten boxes of gifts. The boxes contained chicken, duck, fish, meat, rice noodles, oil, etc., and they seemed to come to give gifts.

"This..." Song Zhili's thoughts were messed up, he was stunned for a long time before he realized it, and hurried forward to greet him, Shi Li asked, "Oh, it turns out that Wei Sicheng is here, this is you?"

"Oh," Wei Yulang returned the salute, "Wei said that once the little girl's funeral is over, she will come to pay her respects!"

"Oh..." Song Zhili just raised his hand to say a few polite words, but was interrupted by a voice.

"Master...Master..." But seeing a servant rushing in from outside, he hurriedly said to Wei Yulang, "There is a visitor at home, who said that Songzhou joined the army and the magistrate of our Daguan County, you...you Hurry up and go back!"

"..."

Hearing this, Song Zhili's heart trembled a little. He never expected that after the two officials left, they went to visit Wei Yulang.

You must know that Wei Yulang, as the former Dianke Sicheng of Honghe Temple, has a low official rank, but he is a Beijing official after all.

Although he is now an official, he still has close ties with senior officials in the court.

What's more, one of Wei Yulang's in-laws is the governor of Tangzhou, and the other is the cavalry captain of the Daguancheng Army, so Sima Xin and Cai Jin came to Yanping County this time, no matter what they had to do to save face and pay a visit.

"Oh," Wei Yulang patted the back of his hand and said upon hearing this, "I also want to pay a visit to the two adults here, how can I go astray! I am going astray!"

"Oh," Chen Houlu said hastily, "Then Wei Sicheng should go back and have a look, don't keep the two adults waiting for a long time, we can talk about anything here in the yamen."

"Yes, yes..." Song Zhili hastily agreed.

"No need," who knows, Wei Yulang waved his hand unhurriedly, and said to the housekeeper, Lao Liu, "you can go and explain to the two adults first."

"Yes!" Old Liu Yingnuo immediately followed the servant who reported the letter and left.

"Hmm..." Wei Yulang looked at the people around him, then at the two assassins kneeling in the lobby, and said to Song Zhili, "Magistrate Song, isn't it time for me to come?"

"Oh, no, no, no, no..." Song Zhili heard Wei Yulang's meaning, quickly pointed to the back hall, and said, "It's all official business, it's a bit messy here, let's talk in the back hall!"

Soon, the two county magistrates brought Wei Yulang and his party into the back hall.

"Hey?" At this time, Shen Yu scratched her head and asked Cheng Xiao, "Cheng Butou, what should we do with these two Dongyou scattered people? Let's have a trial! If we can find out their superiors, then it is possible to know who wanted Brother Xu Zhen was killed!"

Cheng Xiao didn't speak, but stepped up to the two killers, looked at them carefully, and then pointed to the bloody calf of one of them and asked:

"You did this?"

"No, no," Shen Yu hurriedly replied, "Brother Xu did it. These two people are too stubborn. If you don't show them some color, you won't tell the truth."

"Tsk tsk..."

At this moment, Cheng Xiao had guessed the whole story, the employer was most likely Song Zhili, the county magistrate.

As Chen Houlu said, Xu Zhen is just a small policeman, who would pay someone to kill him?
Well, since County Magistrate Song has murderous intentions, it means that what happened to Qiu Batian is likely to be caused by Xu Zhen secretly.

This Xu Zhen...

Cheng Xiao clenched his fists secretly. On the one hand, he hated Xu Zhen even more, but on the other hand, he deeply felt the horror of Song Zhili. He actually bypassed himself and went directly to hire Dongyou Sanren, obviously because he was worried about himself.

So...you have to be more cautious when dealing with these two Dongyou scattered people, and you must not find out the behind-the-scenes employer.

"Okay," thinking of this, Cheng Xiao said to Shen Yu, "Leave these two people to me to deal with! Now our South Prison is overcrowded, I have to find a place for them."

"But, Chief Cheng," Shen Yu said eagerly, "there were three assassins last night, one escaped, and the one who escaped was the leader. I'm worried that they will still harm Senior Brother Xu, so I have to interrogate these two as soon as possible That's good, if you're too busy... why don't you leave it to me for trial?"

"No," Cheng Xiao hurriedly waved his hand, "You have no experience, it's better for me to interrogate myself! Don't worry, I will interrogate no matter how busy I am."

"Oh..." Shen Yu pouted, "Alright then!"

After finishing speaking, Shen Yu could only watch helplessly as Cheng Xiao took the two Dongyou scattered people away.

After taking them away, although the colleagues didn't gossip anymore, the way they looked at Shen Yu changed, obviously they were talking about the relationship between Shen Yu and Xu Zhen in their hearts.

"Hmph!" Shen Yu squinted her eyes, and made a fist gesture at them, and the group of talents dispersed...

……

At the same time, the two county magistrates had already sat down with Wei Yulang in the inner hall.

After being seated, there was a burst of polite greetings.

Song Zhili and Chen Houlu thanked Wei Yulang for his thoughtfulness and politeness.

Wei Yulang praised the brave performance of the two county magistrates, saying that they handled Qiu Batian's case well, won the hearts of the people, and were praised by the people.

Wei Yulang's praise made the two county officials blush, and they could only smile apologetically.

Next, Wei Yulang also said that if the Yamen needs help in dealing with Qiu Batian's problem, he will also do his part.

The two county magistrates were even more embarrassed and expressed their thanks repeatedly.

Later, Wei Yulang brought up his daughter's case and praised the Yamen's ability to solve the case, saying that if the Yamen hadn't solved the case in a timely manner, their Wei family's loss would have been even greater.

The two county magistrates had no choice but to respond modestly, and said a lot of official polite words.

Unexpectedly, after talking for a while, Wei Yulang still didn't intend to leave, and started talking about other things, talking endlessly.

This time, Chen Houlu finally couldn't hold back, and reminded:
"Wei Sicheng, don't forget that our Lord Joining the Army and the Lord Sheriff are still waiting at your house. If you go back too late, isn't it appropriate?"

Who knows, Wei Yulang said indifferently: "It's okay, just wait a little longer, let's talk about the two of them, so what if the governor is here?"

ho...

Song Zhili and Chen Houlu were stunned, this Wei Yulang's tone was really serious, from this we can see how powerful his background is?
"By the way, my lords," Wei Yulang said at this time, seeing that the atmosphere was in place, "Wei, besides thanking you for coming this time, I have something else to ask your lords for!"

what?
The two county magistrates were stunned, and Song Zhili was the first to respond: "Wei Sicheng's words are serious, please speak up, please speak up, as long as we can do it, we must be obliged to do so."

"Hehe, that's good, that's good..."

Wei Yulang smiled slightly, then raised his hands high and clapped his palms three times.

As a result, as soon as the door opened, a person walked in from the outside.

After the visitor came in, he hurriedly greeted the two magistrates: "Lord Song, Lord Chen!"

"what?"

Seeing this person, Song Zhili frowned instantly, and swallowed unconsciously.

It was none other than Xu Zhen who came in!
"My lords," Wei Yulang hurriedly got up and came to Xu Zhen's side, and said enthusiastically, "I, Wei Yulang, hereby announce something. I have sworn brothers with this arrester Xu Zhen, and he is now my righteous brother." Brother..."
