Chapter 285 Death

"This time, Master Peng gathered almost all the rogues around the town. If Brother Chen wants evidence, he just needs to catch two rogues at random to make sure."

"And they said that the county magistrate was almost assassinated, so I don't think there can be a lie."

Chen Qin pursed his lips. He knew about the assassination of the county magistrate a few days ago, but no one told him. Now that he heard from Chen Ye, it meant that this matter really had something to do with Mr. Peng.

With a serious face, Chen Tan said softly, "Okay, then I'll take that person to the county government now. If it's true, just assassinating the county magistrate is a capital offense."

Chen Ye nodded, and the anger in his heart gradually dissipated as he watched Master Peng lying half dead on the ground.

Originally, the purpose of bringing him back was to avenge his wife first, and then hand it over to the county government. Now it is considered revenge.

Chen Tan didn't stay long, just said a few words, went out and called two people to carry Mr. Peng and Xiao Si to the county government office.

Ning Xiaoqi and the others are safe for the time being. If Ying wants to send someone again, it will take several days. At least they are safe for the next few days.

After Chen Qin handed over the person to the county magistrate, he went to the cubicle to ask the doctor to come over and apply the medicine.

He didn't want Mrs. Ma to know about the injury. Mrs. Ma didn't feel safe. If she found out, she would have to worry about it for a long time.

As for Mr. Peng's matter, let's leave it to the county magistrate. The county magistrate and Mr. Peng will teach well. Unfortunately, after knowing that Mr. Peng is the one who bought him to kill him, what else can he do?
Chen Tan didn't ask any further questions. If the county magistrate can't handle such a trivial matter, it's useless.

——————————The dividing line of questioning—————————

Chen Tan was bandaged in the side yard, while Master Peng was taken to the county magistrate's yard.

The county magistrate was assassinated that day and was seriously injured, almost hurting his vitals. Fortunately, those people found out in time and subdued him.

So in the past few days, he has been recuperating in the house with peace of mind. Even if he didn't find anything on his side, Chen Tan would go to investigate it himself, so he wasn't worried.

It's just that the person brought here today made him unable to laugh.

The county magistrate listened to the two men who were pressing Mr. Peng in front of him tell the story one by one, and looked at Mr. Peng in disbelief.

Forcibly propped up, the county magistrate looked at Mr. Peng with a bad face, and asked, "Brother Peng, is it really you?"

Master Peng pursed his lips and looked at the county magistrate's eyes full of anger, "So what if it's me, kill as you want, don't talk so much nonsense!"

When the county magistrate saw what Master Peng said, he felt even sadder.

"why?"

He and Mr. Peng met after he became the county magistrate. At the beginning, neither of them knew the identity of the other. At that time, there were still many remnants of the former county magistrate, and there were also many people who made trouble among the people.

His favorite thing to do at that time was to go fishing in casual clothes. He and Mr. Peng met while fishing.

The two didn't talk much, but they had a tacit understanding. Gradually, the two of them got acquainted.

After so many years, no matter what happened, as long as the Peng family's affairs were involved, he would help.

As a result, Mr. Peng bought someone to assassinate him now. Why?
The county magistrate was puzzled.

Mr. Peng sneered, "Why? Don't you know, magistrate? I, Mr. Peng, have no children in my life and only have one daughter. You are afraid of the power behind that person, and you still say that the little girl committed suicide."

When the county magistrate heard it, he immediately looked complicated, and said softly, "Brother Peng, you are confused. I did this to save the face of your Peng family. If not, do you want outsiders to rumor that your Peng family has an eldest daughter who killed her own sister?" !"

"We already said that day that Ms. Peng's case will not be left alone. We will investigate it in secret and give Ms. Peng justice."

Master Peng's face was gloomy, and he snorted coldly, "Huh, that's nice to say, you're just delaying the time. To put it bluntly, I don't blame you for this matter. If it wasn't for you, how could my daughter die?"

When Mr. Peng said this, the smile on his face was so weird that the county magistrate felt his scalp tingle when he saw it, "And this matter will not be left alone, I will let you all be buried with my daughter, magistrate, you This county magistrate has been in office for so many years, it's time to let him go."

"If it weren't for me, you thought you would be so smooth."

The county magistrate looked at Mr. Peng's face full of ferocity, and pursed his lips without saying a word.

Master Peng's words are not bad. Half of the reason why he has been safe and sound for so many years, and there are no major incidents in the town, is because of Master Peng.

He is in charge of the bright side, while the dark side is handed over to Mr. Peng. The two seek mutual benefit and use each other.

It was a pretty good sword at first, but now the county magistrate sighed. Seeing that the two men showed no sign of leaving, he knew what Chen Tan wanted.

Sighing helplessly, he said softly to Mr. Peng, "Brother Peng, since you think so, don't blame me."

After the county magistrate finished speaking, he waved his big hand and ordered, "Come here, suppress him and send him to death row."

When the officers and soldiers outside heard it, they immediately walked in and took Mr. Peng down.

Master Peng didn't resist, and kept his eyes fixed on the county magistrate the whole time.

After Renbei took them down, the two men smiled slightly, clasped their fists at the county magistrate, turned and left without saying a word, but the county magistrate understood that the general was looking at how he would solve it.

If he hesitated just now, maybe starting tomorrow, he would not be the county magistrate.

The county magistrate sighed, endured the pain and was helped up, slowly went to the courtyard where Chen Tan was, and reported what he had just done.

Chen Tan didn't say anything else, just nodded and left.

The sky gradually darkened, and at night, there was a light snowfall in the sky, and the weather became extremely cold all of a sudden.

The officers and soldiers guarding the cell were wrapped up like rice dumplings, sitting on the ground and dozing off.

He was sleeping soundly, when suddenly a stone hit the officers and soldiers at an extremely fast speed, the officers and soldiers rolled their eyes and passed out directly.

After the officers and soldiers fainted, a woman in black clothes slowly came out from the darkness. The woman covered her face, went to the officers and soldiers, squatted down, took the key, opened the cell door, and walked in.

Those detained here are all those who will be beheaded in the near future.

The cell was very small, there were only a few of them. As soon as the man in black entered, he saw Mr. Peng lying on the thatch and falling asleep.

The killing intent flashed across the eyes of the man in black, and he walked slowly to the door.

Master Peng slowly opened his eyes after hearing some noises. As soon as he opened them, he saw the familiar woman. Before he could be happy, his expression froze at the corner of his mouth.

Master Peng stared at the person with his eyes wide open. He felt pain in his neck. He stretched out his hand and pulled out a thin embroidery needle.

"you"
