Chapter 243 Death Without Reason
As the yamen servant said, the magistrate really only asked a few words, then asked the names and addresses of several witnesses, and then let them go.

"Miss, that magistrate is quite nice." Lu Yi, who was still afraid just now, praised her at this moment.

"Of course, otherwise, how can the people under his jurisdiction be worshiped? He has been able to manage Lanling so well in the past few years. I think this lord will be able to rise to the top in the future!" For honest officials and good officials, Mu Qiu always has in his heart A trace of admiration.

After returning to the inn, Lin Xu hurried over and said, "Mu Qiu, you've come back. If you don't come back, Helian should go to the street to find you!"

"What's the matter? You're in a hurry, could something have happened?" Mu Qiu asked puzzled.

"That's right, there were three dead in the inn just now, and the yamen servants have all come. Everyone said that the boss poisoned the food, and the shopkeeper was just taken away."

"What? The inn is also dead?"

"That's right, but I saw that those people didn't seem to be poisoned to death. Eh? What do you mean by 'also'?"

Mu Qiu said with a serious face: "I also met them on the road just now, those people suddenly fell to the ground and died without warning."

"Here too!" Lin Xu felt that this was too much of a coincidence.

"This is not a coincidence!" If it was just one person, it could still be called a coincidence, but if six people died at the same time, it might be man-made.

Immediately afterwards Xiao Xuanyi and He Lianfeng also found out about this matter, and of course they agreed with Mu Qiu's point of view, those people were probably murdered.

"But I took a quick look at the time, and those people's normal complexions did not seem to be poisoned, and from the outside, there were no obvious wounds on their bodies. If it was really man-made, then who has the ability to kill them at the same time Still not revealing the flaws?" Mu Qiu first raised her own doubts.

He Lianfeng immediately said: "Yes, the important thing is what method did they use to kill?"

"I always feel that everything that happened behind this has something inexplicably involved with us. It seems that we can't leave for the time being!" Xiao Xuanyi frowned.

All this was confirmed by their words, and several people died in Lanling City the next day.The magistrate has already imposed martial law in the whole city, and he probably discovered that this was a deliberate murder.

"Helian, what happened to your subordinates?"

"There is no clue about the murderer yet. The other party is hiding very deeply. Just like what the emperor said, I'm afraid these people are still coming after us."

In the next few days, everyone in Lanling City was terrified, and the originally lively streets suddenly became sparsely populated.In the past few days, dozens of people have died one after another, but the government still hasn't found the murderer behind the scenes, and they haven't even found out the cause of these people's deaths.

"It seems that we have to go to the magistrate's mansion." Xiao Xuanyi said.

At this moment of desperation, Han Zhijie still took a little time patiently when he heard that someone was looking for him.When he saw the gold medal, like everyone else, his face changed drastically, and he immediately knelt down to salute.

"I'm going to see the regent!" This kneeling showed respect and sincerity without any fear, this magistrate really impressed Mu Qiu.

"Your Majesty Han, you don't need to be too polite. This king is traveling with the emperor in micro-clothes. All the etiquette can be simple."

"Your Majesty?" Lord Han raised his head in astonishment, and saw Xiao Xuanyi standing beside He Lianfeng.He was also a Jinshi, and he was lucky enough to witness the holy face, so he quickly recognized Xiao Xuanyi.

"The next official sees the emperor, my emperor..." This time, there was a bit of panic.
