Strange Events of the Tang Dynasty

Chapter 31 The Secret of County Magistrate Qin
Ling Changfeng walked into the lobby of the government office to take a look, but he didn't see Mencius Yan and Xu Minghao, and the six jailers were being questioned one by one by patrolling.Although County Magistrate Qin was suspected at the moment, he was not questioned by Mencius Yan and others.

Seeing Ling Changfeng walking in, County Magistrate Qin hurried over, cupped his hands to Ling Changfeng and said, "Lord Ling, you have to trust this officer! I never did such a stupid thing. Every word that the officer said It’s true, please check it out, my lord!”

Ling Changfeng didn't say anything, but asked curiously: "I don't care who killed the suspect, I just want to know about the trip to the ghost market last night, did you tell anyone?"

"This..." County magistrate Qin saw Ling Changfeng asking about this matter, but he didn't say it out loud, but looked around vigilantly, and he hesitated to say anything clearly.

"What's going on?" Seeing this, Ling Changfeng was quite unhappy, "It's in vain that I trust you so much and praise you as an upright and good official! Now you are acting like this! Could it be that you really killed this prisoner?" Suspect, if you want to come to death, you can't prove it!"

Ling Changfeng's tone became more serious, his eyes narrowed slightly, and he stared straight at County Magistrate Qin.The expression of hating iron but not steel, kindly treating the liver and lungs of a donkey shook the heart of County Magistrate Qin.

"Oh, don't worry about it, let's just say it directly!" County magistrate Qin gritted his teeth, sighed, and continued: "Originally, I didn't dare to say anything about my lord's trip to the ghost city, but that lord Xu is here After you left, you suddenly sent someone to summon me, saying that Mr. Meng wanted me to discuss the rosin matter together."

While talking, County Magistrate Qin quietly took Ling Changfeng to a corner where no one was paying attention, and then continued talking.

"The lower official heard the news of the rosin, and immediately ran from his residence to the county government office excitedly. Once there, the two adults were already there waiting for the lower official."

"Unexpectedly, as soon as Xu Fuyin opened his mouth, he said that the officials had concealed the clues of rosin, saying that they had found out the major rosin workshops in the city, and now the major workshops have not received a large amount of demand for rosin purchases. The latest batch It was also a month ago. Although the rosin in the workshop in the city is managed by the imperial court, a small amount of rosin will still flow into the hands of those traders."

"And the person who secretly took the rosin from the workshop, after being found out, he turned out to be the incompetent brother-in-law of the lower official!" After finishing speaking, County Magistrate Qin looked heartbroken, with an expression of extreme regret on his face, The mouth is also moans again and again.

"My brother-in-law didn't dare to sell the rosin that my brother-in-law privately stole. He only dared to sell it secretly in the ghost market. For some reason, after the day of checking the rosin, my brother-in-law never showed up again, so Meng My lord and Mr. Xu insisted that I was covering up my brother-in-law, saying that he was an accomplice involved in Mr. Wang's murder."

"So, in order to beg them to spare my brother-in-law, and considering that the two adults are also investigators, I told the truth. I had to say that Master Ling has gone to the ghost market to investigate, and the truth will be revealed soon. Damn the lower official! Lord Qin please punish me!"

What he kept in his heart and didn't say to Ling Changfeng poured out at this moment. After the county magistrate Qin finished speaking, he knelt down with a plop, with tears streaming down his face, begging for mercy repeatedly.

Ling Changfeng nodded, and didn't blame County Magistrate Qin, but just sat there, tapped his fingers on the table, thinking in his heart: So it's him!The bait he had set, now the big fish finally took the bait!The corner of Ling Changfeng's mouth could not help but sneer.

But now the spearhead is pointing at this person, but speculation is always speculation, without conclusive evidence, I am afraid it will not be possible to reveal his true face.Thinking of this, Ling Changfeng couldn't help but get a headache.I thought to myself, this person really hides deep enough!I hope Xiaolan's trip will be fruitful.

Moreover, there are still doubts about Mr. Wang's murder case, that is, who did Mr. Wang meet with before his death?What was the motive for the murder?To turn the corpse into a mummy inhumanely!

Shaking his head running at high speed, seeing that the magistrate of Qin was still prostrate on the ground, Ling Changfeng asked angrily: "I said, Mr. Qin, you are also a parent official after all, how could you bend the law for personal gain in order to save your brother-in-law?" How dare you reveal the whereabouts of my investigation!"

Seeing that Ling Changfeng's tone was not harsh, County Magistrate Qin knew that he had actually forgiven himself, and immediately thanked him, blushing and said, "This... is because the good family helpers are making trouble all the time, and I have no choice but to be dismissed!"

Seeing this, Ling Changfeng smiled "haha" and said, "I didn't expect you to be afraid of guilt. I won't punish you, but you will naturally know what your brother-in-law should be guilty of. Don't forget to stop bending the law for personal gain!"

County magistrate Qin smiled awkwardly, and nodded in agreement.Of course, what the county magistrate Qin didn't know was that many years later, the adult in front of him would tremble when he saw the Qingguang sword.

"Okay, you should reflect here. Where are Master Meng and Master Xu now? I will go to them to discuss arresting the murderer!" Ling Changfeng stood up and asked slowly.

"Thank you for your mercy, my lord! At this moment, the two lords are resting in the back hall, and your lord just passed by." County magistrate Qin clapped his hands and saluted, and hurriedly replied.

Ling Changfeng waved his hand, and said as he walked, "Remember to make a copy of the confession records of the jailors waiting for me." After speaking, he walked straight towards the back hall.

At this moment, Mencius Yan and Xu Fuyin were sitting on the Taishi chairs and drinking tea. When they saw Ling Changfeng coming in, they put down the teacups in their hands and hurriedly called Ling Changfeng to come and sit down.

Mencius said softly: "Mr. Ling, you worked hard last night! I don't know if you found any clues last night? There were too many people just now, so I can't talk about it. Can you talk to me now?" I don't know why. Acting, true or false.

Ling Changfeng was also surprised by Mencius Yan's attitude, and felt more and more puzzled in his heart, why is this man's attitude so kind?Could it be that there is a secret in it that I don't know?

As the saying goes, reach out and don't hit a smiling face.Seeing Meng Ziyan's attitude softened, Ling Changfeng also chuckled, and replied: "Well, of course there are clues. I have already found the rosin seller in the ghost market! And the suspect also told me something last night."

"What's the matter?" Fu Yin Xu asked hastily, turning his body sideways.

Ling Changfeng glanced at him, but didn't answer, just said: "The time has not come, so I can't tell you yet. Master Xu, don't be so impatient."

Xu Fu Yin's face returned to calm, he also smiled "haha", and said: "Then I will wait for the special envoy's advice." After speaking, he picked up the teacup with his finger and took a sip.

Seeing Ling Changfeng's mysteriousness, Meng Ziyan, who wanted to reprimand him, thought of the secret report he received yesterday, and immediately stopped what was on his lips, and changed the subject: "The suspect is now dead in full view, Mr. Ling What's your opinion on this matter?"
