The Age of Lords Reborn

Chapter 181 There are few master criminals (first update, please subscribe)
After watching the old county magistrate take the order to leave, Mo Xiaobai calmed down his expression and said with a wry smile: "Everyone, what we encountered this time is really tricky."

Guo Jia glanced at the direction in which the gray-bearded old man was leaving, and then said with a smile: "My lord deliberately transferred the county magistrate, but do you have something else to tell us?"

"There is something to say, and it must be handled by you."

Filtering the dungeon information in his mind again, Mo Xiaobai said: "We know almost nothing about this Ziwu County now, but now that the former county magistrate is dead, we have to take care of everything in Ziwu County. Among them The most important thing is the household registration and various taxes, there must be a big loophole here, wait for the other county government officials to arrive later, Guoyuan, you can go and investigate this matter for me."

"In addition, you also heard just now that the Ziwu county captain led troops out of the city to inspect the bandits. It sounds like there is no problem at all, but I still can't trust them, so I will appoint another county captain later, and you will come from Maogong Take charge. I brought food and gold coins over here, and you will recruit new recruits into the formation. Don’t ask them to fight more, at least they have to look like a soldier.”

"We only have five days. Not only do we have to find out the tax robbed by the bandits outside the city, but we also need to find out the cause of death of the county magistrate and find out the murderer. By the way, among you, Feng Xiao, is there anyone who is good at solving cases?"

settle a lawsuit!

Since the dungeon involved the death of the former county magistrate, Mo Xiaobai felt that to complete the task, the case must be resolved.

However, an embarrassing scene appeared. In Dameng Village, which is full of civil and military talents and full of talents, there is really no one famous for arresting murderers and solving cases.

Guo Jia, Li Ji and the others looked at each other, but silently lowered their heads and did not speak.

They have the ability to govern a place, and they also know what the process of deciding a case is, but if they are really responsible for finding out the truth of the cause of death, even Guo Jia can only rely on the information provided by his co-authors or witnesses, more in-depth investigation methods or case-solving skills , he Guo Jia does not have.

Guo Jia can't do it, Guo Yuan can't do it, Li Ji and Li Guang can't do it either.

As for Dong Zhen, since she sat down, she has been squinting her eyes like an old god, with a look of 'you talk about you, this girl is only responsible for improving the team's appearance'.

Several people sat down and waited for a while before the magistrate walked in with many people.There are meritorious officials in charge of the performance appraisal of the assistant officials, two order officials who manage the files and documents, the warden of the county prison, the stables in charge of the carriage and horse administration, and three storekeepers in charge of the county treasury. people.

When the group of county government officials arrived, Mo Xiaobai coughed and swept over a few of them: "Except for the county lieutenant who has not returned from the city, everyone who should be acquainted is considered to have met now. The former county magistrate was accidentally killed, and each of you If you have any opinion, please tell me."

Mo Xiaobai entered the dungeon with a black eye. Even if he doesn't trust these dungeon NPCs at all, he still has to get the first-hand information from them.

It's just that after Mo Xiaobai finished asking, none of the nearly ten county officials in front of him said anything.

After waiting for five or six breaths, no one responded, Mo Xiaobai's eyes sank: "Old magistrate, you should talk about it first."

"Reporting to my lord, the death of County Magistrate Zhou was caused by a strange anomaly."

"How to say?"

"Magistrate Zhou died in a restaurant in the west of the city in the middle of the night, and was not found until after dawn. I have also searched carefully, but there is no witness, and the murder weapon was not found. There was not even a scream, and now two days have passed, so there is no way to investigate the murderer."

The old man said a lot, and Mo Xiaobai only had a few words after listening to the summary.

There are no witnesses, no physical evidence, and a useful confession is delusional.

Ok!

I was unlucky enough to encounter such a troublesome dungeon task.

"So, the old magistrate feels that this case cannot be investigated in detail?"

"It's not that I'm old and evasive, but there's nothing to investigate."

"Well, since the county magistrate is old and weak, and can no longer bear the heavy responsibility of investigating the case, I will go home from now on and wait for the magistrate to listen to him. Zini, you come to take over the post of county magistrate, let me find out first. How many criminals are there in Ziwu County?"

Mo Xiaobai never expected these dungeon NPCs to help him with anything, so he immediately dismissed the county magistrate.Although according to the law, the removal of the county magistrate requires an order from the court, but at the moment Mo Xiaobai is the biggest official in the copy space, and he can use his power at will for at least five days.

If you don't put your own people in important positions, it's estimated that you won't be able to finish this task in a year.

After arbitrarily ordering the first personnel resignation, Mo Xiaobai immediately looked at the jailer: "You are in charge of arresting criminals in a county. You know the criminals in the county best. Would you like to assist Zini to handle this matter well?"

"Impressive order!"

Seeing that Mo Xiaobai said to dismiss the county magistrate, he would dismiss the county magistrate, how could the jailer object at this time, so he immediately stepped out and agreed.He thought clearly, anyway, he was just helping out, and it had nothing to do with him whether he found out or not.

Seeing that the jailer has learned to be 'good', Mo Xiaobai nodded and continued: "In an ordinary county, one county lieutenant is enough, but I see that the chaos in Ziwu County is quite deep, and one county lieutenant may not be enough. Today I will set up another A county lieutenant, headed by Mao Gong, is responsible for recruiting new soldiers and rectifying the law and order in the city. I don’t care about the rest, at least to make the people dare to walk on the street, instead of staying at home in panic.”

"Here!"

"Let's go to work each of you, prepare the horse for me, and take me to that restaurant." After Mo Xiaobai finished speaking, he got up and walked off the main seat, and after handing his sumeru bag to Li Ji, he waved his sleeves out of the lobby.

Bringing Guo Jia, Li Guang and the stables together came to a restaurant named 'Chunli', Mo Xiaobai walked in and found that this place is not a restaurant, it is clearly a brothel.

A county magistrate also visits this place?
It's too blatant!
At this time, the brothel has been temporarily closed. When Mo Xiaobai arrived, all the girls lined up, all looking nervously at the new county magistrate.

"Don't be nervous. I'm here today to ask some questions. If you can find out the reason, your restaurant, hehe, can reopen."

Mo Xiaobai sat down on a bearded stool, pouted and said, "Who was the first to discover Zhou Yi's body? Stand up and let me meet."

"Yes, a slave."

A woman with light makeup who looked only [-] years old stepped forward and said in a low voice: "That night, the county magistrate did not let the slave serve him. The slave came out when he was a child, and returned to the room early the next morning, but ,but"

"But what? Seeing Zhou Yi die in the house?"

"Yes, my lord."

"Do you still remember what you saw at that time? For example, where did he fall, and what wounds did he have on his body?"

"I remember, I remember, at that time, County Magistrate Zhou fell by the table in the house, blood flowed all over the floor, and many small holes were punctured on the head, even on the body."

Listening to the young lady's confession, Mo Xiaobai touched his chin: "What small hole? How small is it?"

"Like, it's as thin as a wooden chopstick."

"Oh?"

Mo Xiaobai raised his eyebrows when he heard the words, and got up from his seat: "You are brave enough, show me that room."
