Qi never doubted Su Cong's ability to win people's hearts, but he never thought that Su Cong was just a lengtouqing. He had such a headache and said darkly, "if it's not easy to deal with, just send someone to kill him."

It's not that the Su family has never dealt so hard with the officials who are too disobedient. Qi also knows this very well, so he made this proposal.

Su Cong shakes his head. Su Cheng's affairs always make him feel uneasy. He always thinks that it's too risky to do it at this time. Just when he is weighing whether to do it, the new magistrate comes to his house.

Although Su Cong is a powerful local leader, his official position is lower than that of the magistrate, so he must go out to meet the new magistrate.

According to the unwritten rules, the first step for a new official to take office is to find out the way to the local area, so as not to suffer a big loss. However, this new magistrate is different from anyone else. He does not inquire or make friends. He only follows the rules of the imperial court.

His name is Wu Nan. He is in his early thirties. He has a square face and sharp eyes. He looks very capable.

Su Cong welcomed him with a smile on his face. "Mr. Wu came to my humble abode. If you are disappointed, please forgive me."

In the face of Su Cong's hospitality, Wu Nan just politely perfunctory two words, then opened the door and said: "to tell you the truth, I came to Su Fu today to investigate a case."

"This matter, Su has heard of, Wu adults rest assured, Su will fully cooperate."

"You misunderstood." Wu Nan said: "not for the case of Sujia mine, but for another case."

Su Cong's heart sank. What did the hard and soft lengtouqing find? On the surface, he said quietly, "I don't know what the case is?"

Wu Nan said: "I received a notice from the censor station that a young man named Qin Shizhen arrived in Yingchuan a month ago, but his family found him missing recently. I ordered someone to check. Before he disappeared, he lived in your house."

Finally, Su Cong lamented, "speaking of brother Qin, I'm really sad!"

Wu Nan a face of inexplicable, "what's the matter?"

Su Cong was heartbroken and said: "brother Qin is forthright and righteous. He and I became friends at first sight. We specially invited him to stay in our house. He also readily agreed that he and Qingping county leader of Xunzi family were in love. When they went out to play, they did not want to encounter a mountain slide, a debris flow broke out, and both of them were killed."

Wu Nan is surprised, "unexpectedly has this matter?"

Su Cong nodded heavily, "after learning the news, I am also very sad. Brother Qin is still so young. How can he be envious of talents and suffer from unexpected disasters?"

"Where is the corpse?" Wu Nan asked.

Su Cong shook his head. "I'm afraid Mr. Wu has just come to Yingchuan. He doesn't know the terrain here is complicated. Once a debris flow breaks out, it's a swamp. People are buried in it. If you want to find it, it's like looking for a needle in a haystack."

"So it is." Wu Nan also inquired about the details of Qin Shizhen and Qingping county leader's death. Su Cong knew everything and said everything. During this period, he shed tears several times, with a sad expression.

Seeing that Wu Nan didn't speak again after asking, Su Cong said tentatively, "it's said that brother Qin is still the prince's younger martial brother. It must be very difficult for Lord Wu to reply to such a thing."

"It's not hard." Wu Nan disapproved and said, "I just need to report truthfully, and it can't blame me."

"That's true!" Su Cong said insincerely: "I have heard that Lord Wu is selfless, fair and upright. It's really a blessing for the people of Yingchuan."

Su Cong is a powerful figure in Yingchuan. If he can get his praise, all the young people are complacent, but Wu Nan doesn't. He still looks the same when he hears that, "the third master is flattered. I just eat your salary, share your worries and abide by my duty."
