Chapter 140 Conspiracy
As soon as these words came out of the yamen gate, people immediately thought of the rustling discussion. Many people in Kushui County actually believed in Song Qingyou in their hearts, but the words of that person were so conclusive that people didn't know who to believe.

Originally, Fang Cheng didn't think that it was enough to put the crime on Song Qingyou and Song Qingyou just by relying on today. The purpose was just to let Baixin know that the death of the county magistrate had something to do with them.

Fangcheng saw that the people had begun to discuss, and it was obvious that some of the people believed that the goal had been achieved. In order to avoid too much talk, he ordered the public trial to end today, and another day for the trial, and Song Qingyou and the two will be imprisoned.

It can be said that Song Qingyou was very surprised by the death of the county magistrate, and discussed with Xiao Qishu when he returned to the prison.

Song Qingyou asked through the cell pillars: "What do you think of the county magistrate's death?"

Xiao Qishu watched Song Qingyou sitting on the ground and returned: "It's strange. The news I know is that the county magistrate wrote a letter asking Fang Cheng to go out to greet him, but he didn't expect that what he brought back was the news of his death."

"We have to go out, otherwise right and wrong will depend entirely on Fang Cheng!"

Xiao Qishu frowned, disagreeing with Song Qingyou's idea for the first time, "But once we escape from prison, we will be found guilty. Isn't it true that Zhong Fangcheng is playing the game?"

Song Qingyou raised her eyebrows, "Naturally we can't let the bad guys succeed!" As he spoke, he took out the double doll he got before, and before Xiao Qishu could open his mouth, he explained: "This double doll can change into our appearance for twelve hours. We just have to figure out a way to get out."

Xiao Qishu was no longer surprised that Song Qingyou took out all kinds of weird things, but when he saw the stand-in doll turned into himself, he was only surprised for a moment and accepted it calmly. After that, it was a question of how to get out.

Then it was Song Qingyou's turn to be surprised—Xiao Qishu took out a dagger from his arms, then pulled out a very thin steel needle from the handle of the dagger, and stabbed twice at the lock of the prison door. The lock snapped open.

"This lock-picking skill is amazing!"

Song Qingyou didn't expect the serious Xiao Qishu to have such a skill.

Xiao Qishu had an embarrassing look on his face, "When I was young, I was fond of playing and was often locked up by my father, so I learned it."

Song Qingyou smiled, sure enough, every boy will have a period of middle school.

The two managed to escape while the cell boss was changing shifts, and the first thing they did after they got out was the place where Fangcheng and the county magistrate met.

Perhaps Kushui County is poor enough. Not only are the people’s lives difficult, but there are few wild animals in the surrounding mountains. Therefore, the county magistrate’s body has been left in the wilderness for a few days without any wild animals gnawing on it. .

When Song Qingyou found the county magistrate's body, he was almost fainted by the stench of the corpse, and Xiao Qishu frowned subtly, slowing down his breathing silently.

Song Qingyou quickly took out the remaining masks from the previous plague and put them on Xiao Qishu one by one. Then he took out his gloves and started looking at the corpses, while Xiao Qishu went around to look at the corpses of other people.

Fortunately, the temperature in Kushui County is not very high these days. Although the corpse has begun to rot, you can still see where the wound is. I am also grateful to Song Qingyou. His ambition at the beginning was to become a forensic doctor, so learning related theories of forensic medicine is a serious one, which is a pity. Later became a surgeon, but now it is used.

The county magistrate's fatal injury was in the neck, and he slashed the main artery and lost too much blood to die. Song Qingyou had to lament that the murderer really hated the county magistrate for being so cruel.

The knife edge was flat and long, wide in the front and narrow in the back. Song Qingyou reconstructed the murder weapon in his heart while examining the wound, and finally it turned out to be an official knife.

"Xiao Qishu!" Song Qingyou threw down the body and shouted, "I have a bold guess!"

Xiao Qishu, who heard the shouting, thought that Song Qingyou was in danger, so he came to her side after a few ups and downs. When he saw that she was fine, he felt relieved and said, "I also have a guess."

Song Qingyou raised her eyebrows, "Then let me count to three, two and one and we'll talk together?"

Xiao Qishu nodded.

"Three, two, one."

"Fangcheng!"

The two said a name in unison.

"Fang Cheng is so bold. After all, the county magistrate was appointed by the imperial court." Song Qingyou sighed while destroying the mask and gloves.

Xiao Qisu was not surprised, because he had led troops stationed in a very remote place in the border area before. Because of the inconvenience of transportation in the remote area, the parents and officials there were just like the local emperors. Now Fangcheng is almost the same in Kushui County.

Now that the real cause of death of the county magistrate is known, the next step is how to find evidence to prove that the murderer is Fang Cheng. After all, there is no way to detect fingerprints in this era.

Xiaoyuan definitely couldn't go back, so the two decided to go to Fang Cheng's house to be Liang Shangjun.

Since killing the county magistrate, Fang Cheng has taken all the government affairs of Kushui County into his own hands. He is too busy every day, but this time Xiao Ningning rarely complains.

A large part of the people in Kushui County still firmly believe that someone else killed the county magistrate, and a small number are in a wavering state. Only Xiao Yiran firmly believes in Fang Cheng's words, and heard that the two were arrested. Then he ran to Xiao Ningning excitedly.

"Is it really possible to completely kill those two untouchables this time?" Xiao Yiran seemed to have finally waited for the day when he could feel proud.

Xiao Ningning has calmed down a lot, and said while drinking tea: "Of course, this time we can not only put those two people to death, but also help us return to Beijing."

Xiao Yiran became even more excited after hearing this, thinking that he is obviously the young master of the Xiao family, and since he was a child, he has been well-clothed and well-fed, and the past few months have not been a human life.

Xiao Ningning poured a cup of tea for Xiao Yiran, and continued: "The county magistrate is dead, and the master is missing. Now Kushui County is Fangcheng's world, and all the seals are in his hands. We just need to borrow his hand to write a letter." A memorial, telling the higher-ups that we have not only cured the famine but also overcome the plague here, and we will naturally no longer have to suffer here.”

"Sister." Xiao Yiran suddenly lowered his voice and asked, "Tell brother, how did the county magistrate die?"

Xiao Ningning smiled and said, "Fang Cheng seems to respect the county magistrate, but in fact he has been grudges for a long time. I just slapped him on the ear, but who knew he would actually take action."

Xiao Yiran was shocked after hearing this. He had never known that he had always thought that this sister had no ability other than crying, but now it seemed that he was looking down on her.

On the roof, two figures quietly disappeared into the darkness.

But the biggest problem facing Song Qingyou and the others now is how to spread the news that the county magistrate died under the sword of an official.
