Rebirth of the eldest daughter

Chapter 402 Thoroughly muddy the water
The arrester was fierce and furious: "Little thief! You can't escape!"

Bai Mingwei ignored it, tiptoed a little, and turned into an erratic shadow, crossing the surroundings and walking flexibly between the eaves of the roof.

The policeman shouted: "Chase!"

Hundreds of officers and soldiers drew their swords from their waists and rushed toward the direction Bai Mingwei left.

These officers and soldiers usually only catch small thieves and maintain order in Jincheng. Their skills are not even as good as Du Cheng, the thinnest in the army, so naturally they cannot catch up with Bai Mingwei.

Every once in a while, Bai Mingwei deliberately stopped to prevent them from losing track of him.

Fortunately, the detective still had two brushes to prevent Bai Mingwei from leaving his sight.

Bai Mingwei flitted around the rising and falling points of the roof, and finally landed at the gate of the county government office.

Jincheng is Qin Fengye's sphere of influence. The Xue family and the garrison captain are all his people, and there is no reason why the county magistrate is not.

Unless he is a good-for-nothing, or a corrupt official with a fat head, a county magistrate with such a good reputation cannot stay in office for many years.

They overthrew the Xue family and started fighting with Captain Jiao.

Only Magistrate Luo has stayed out of the matter, so he must get to know him well and stir him into the whirlpool to prevent him from becoming the oriole behind the cicada and the mantis.

It just so happened that the rescue of his companion completely muddied the waters.

What she had to do next was to divert the county government's attention to her rescuing her accomplices - Captain Jiao wanted to use officers and soldiers to trip them up, so she could completely trip them up.

In this way, once Zhang Jin and his friends fight, at least the officers and soldiers will not be able to rush to their aid.

The fewer people there are, the greater their success rate and the smaller the price they pay.

Thinking of this, Bai Ming raised his lips and smiled.

She picked up the drum hammer and beat it hard. Not only did she attract countless people to watch, but the county magistrate who was about to go home and sleep with his concubine was also disturbed by the sound of the drum.

"Sir, there is an injustice!"

At this time, Bai Mingwei had already changed her tone, and her voice was somewhere between a man's and a woman's.

If you say it belongs to a man, it would be a bit feminine.

If you say it belongs to a woman, it is a bit rough.

Just like her appearance, it is difficult to distinguish between male and female.

Magistrate Luo with a small goatee came out and cursed angrily: "Who is making trouble by sounding the drum?"

Bai Mingwei pointed at the head catcher and officers and soldiers who finally arrived, and said with great grievance: "Sir, you have to make the decision for this villain!"

"The Xue family has committed so many murders. Instead of finding out the truth and giving justice to the girls who died in vain, they helped the Xue family catch the so-called robbers. Isn't this a lack of distinction between priorities?"

"Or, because the Xue family is rich, the affairs of the Xue family are just business, and the affairs of the poor people can be ignored? As an official, you must not indulge these subordinates who do not know the difference between right and wrong!"

Bai Mingwei's words were like cold water poured into a frying pan, causing the people to boil instantly.

They talked a lot and the scene was chaotic for a while.

Someone said: "That's right! So Xue Jin killed 59 lives. Even if he died, wouldn't the Xue family have any responsibility? Is it necessary to find out the identities of all the deceased and give their families an explanation?"

Someone also said: "It's not just one or two, it's 59 living lives. It's impossible that Mr. Xue didn't notice anything. It's impossible that the Xue family didn't know. Maybe they're all the same. Why don't you check them out?"

Someone said again: "Isn't it because the Yamen took the benefits? Is this the end of the matter? Can one person in the Xue family pay for those sins by dying? This is too dark!" So in the end, everyone pointed the finger at Luo County magistrate: "Sir, what do you say? Aren't you usually the most wise and powerful person? How can you let the Xue family go unpunished? Is it possible that there is collusion between officials and businessmen, and your lord is protecting the Xue family and not seeking justice for the girls who died in vain?"

The more the people talked, the more angry they became. They blocked out the officers and soldiers who were chasing Bai Mingwei, and crowded in front of Magistrate Luo.

However, what is eye-opening is that Magistrate Luo just shook his goatee and calmed the indignant people with just a few words.

At this time, the sky had turned dark, and only the deep purple/red glow of the sunset remained on the mountaintops to the west. However, the light became increasingly faint, and in an instant, only a thin layer of red remained.

The earth seemed to be plunged into darkness, and the bright street lamps cast a warm orange light, passing through the crowd and shining on Magistrate Luo.

His short and lean body seemed to be somewhat insubstantial.

But seeing him turn his gaze to Bai Mingwei, a cold light shot out from his eyes: "Who are you? Why do you have to hide your figure? Is there something shameful?"

As a result, the eyes of the people around him were transferred to Bai Mingwei.

The curiosity about Bai Mingwei instantly outweighed the anger in his heart.

They really want to know who this person is who is afraid to show his face.

Bai Mingwei didn't answer, quietly waiting for Magistrate Luo to continue asking questions.

However, Magistrate Luo did not hold on to Bai Mingwei's matter. He turned to explain to the people who had calmed down a little: "I have been in Jincheng for many years. You should all see what I am like as a person."

"This time it's not that I am indifferent, but that I am worried about your safety. Think about it, the robbers can go to the Xue family, which is guarded by many servants, to kill people and prevent fires. Are you still safe?"

"How could I turn a blind eye to the crimes Xue Jin committed, but there are too many murders involved, so you have to give me some time to find out, right?"

His words were spoken sincerely, not only considering the interests of the people, but also showing his deeply saddened and disgusted attitude towards the murder.

The fire in the hearts of the people also subsided, and they even felt a little ashamed of their parents and officials who thought about them.

Bai Mingwei watched quietly all the time. Seeing that the people completely believed in Magistrate Luo, she was not in a hurry until Magistrate Luo was about to tell everyone to disperse.

She spoke again: "So, Lord Luo is really investigating the Xue family? I wonder if Lord Luo has found out the identities of several deceased people?"

As soon as these words came out, Magistrate Luo's face almost froze.

He squinted at Bai Mingwei and said in a somewhat unkind tone: "This is a secret. How can I announce the news of the deceased?"

Bai Mingwei asked again: "Sir, just tell me how many you have found out!"

Everyone's eyes instantly fell on Magistrate Luo.

Magistrate Luo's smile disappeared: "What are your intentions? Are you trying to intimidate me?"

Bai Ming smiled: "Sir, have you really checked? Otherwise, why can't you even reveal the identities of the deceased people?"

Magistrate Luo was about to speak, wanting to shift the people's attention to Bai Mingwei again.

However, Bai Mingwei's next words made all his calculations come to nothing: "I started the fire in the Xue family, and I am the robber!"

The people looked at each other, then took a few steps back and looked at Bai Mingwei in horror.

Magistrate Luo's eyes flashed and he stared at her closely.
