County government.
"You want to take a rest for seven days?"
Li Mingqi frowned slightly and looked up and down Chen Yuan's body.
"yes."
Chen Yuan nodded.
This time he will be in seclusion for seven days, refining all forty tiger bone pills, and completely completing nine blood refinings until he steps into bone refining. He does not want to be disturbed by other reasons.
"Why?"
Li Mingqi turned the iron ring on his finger.
"I found some clues about Wu Sheng Cult thieves and wanted to investigate in secret." Chen Yuan said intently.
It is naturally impossible to tell the truth.
"Clues..." Li Mingqi looked at Chen Yuan deeply, remained silent for a moment and said:
"Did you go to the cell the day before yesterday?"
Chen Yuan nodded and did not deny it.
He didn't want the news of his going to the cell to leak out, but it was obviously not something he could do. As a county lieutenant, he must have spies everywhere in the county government.
"I'm going to interrogate Huang Xing."
Li Mingqi got straight to the point and didn't hide anything.
"Yes, I would like to ask for clues about the Wu Sheng Cult demon."
"Then you found out that Huang Xing actually committed suicide a few days ago..."
"yes."
"Do you think there's a problem with his death?"
Chen Yuan's eyes flickered and he kept walking on the ground. He was silent for a long time before saying:
"Anyone who is not a fool can see that Huang Xing's death is suspicious."
"Yes, as long as you are not a fool, you can see that there is something wrong with his death. How could I not know about it? Do you know why I and Wu Qingfeng chose to suppress the news?"
Li Mingqi said calmly.
"I hope you can clear up my doubts..."
Chen Yuan cupped his hands and glanced at Li Mingqi's calm face.
"The Wu Sheng Cult has a very powerful force in Ping'an County. Not to mention that Huang Xing didn't confess. Even if he confessed, how much do you think he would know?"
"While in the cell, Huang Xing had ten of his toes and one arm cut off, but he still refused to confess. Huang Shengnian's eyes were gouged out, but he still spoke harshly."
"To be honest, I don't know why they are so tough."
Chen Yuan listened quietly to Li Mingqi's nonsense. He talked a lot but didn't get to the point.
"So Wu Qingfeng found my officer and said that since he couldn't find out anything, he might as well kill them and wait for the next time the Wusheng Cult in Ping'an County reveals its flaws."
"Otherwise, while Huang Xing is alive, the Wusheng Cult members will probably hide in hiding for a long time."
After Li Mingqi finished speaking, he took a sip of tea and looked at Chen Yuan quietly.
They killed Huang Xing and Huang Shengnian!
Chen Yuan was shocked.
As for what Li Mingqi said, there was not much logic at all. He killed the insider and then waited for the Wusheng Cult demon to appear. He would never have been able to do this without a few years of cerebral thrombosis.
but...
Are Wu Qingfeng, the county magistrate, and Li Mingqi, another county magistrate, really fools?
Not quite!
From what Li Mingqi said, Chen Yuan vaguely judged their true purpose.
They just don't want to take over the mess, lest it trigger a chain reaction that could cost them their official title or even their life.
It can be seen from the Huang family that the Wusheng Cult is deeply rooted in Pingan County.
and...
County magistrate Wu Qingfeng's term seems to be coming soon, and Li Mingqi's term is not too far away either.
They did not want to lift the lid during their term of office, and even tried to help cover it up as much as possible. Chen Yuan felt that it was still unknown whether Huang Xing had been tortured.
The meaning of Li Mingqi and Wu Qingfeng is very obvious, just one sentence.
After I leave, there will be no need to worry about the flood!
bureaucracy!
This is the bureaucracy of this world.
He's good at making money, but he just doesn't want to do the actual work.
Thinking about it now, when Wu Qingfeng asked Chen Yuan to track down the traces of the Wu Sheng Cult demon as soon as possible, he didn't think he could succeed. At the same time, the county government was not willing to put in too much effort.
Just to block Youyou's mouth.
Otherwise, there are so many experts in the county government, how could they put all their hopes on him alone?
It's Chen Yuan's fault that he couldn't find it, but it's their credit that he found it!
hehe...
Chen Yuan didn't think there was anything wrong with what they did, if there was nothing he wanted in Ci'en Temple, and if the uncle's death had nothing to do with Wu Sheng Cult.
He would not be willing to provoke such an enemy.
Unfortunately, there is no if!
If he wanted wealth and honor in danger, he would definitely go to Ci'en Temple, and he would definitely get the Bloody Sword.
But, that cannot be said now.
"Listening to the Lord's words is simply better than studying for ten years. Your Lord is wise. Now that I think about it, I am too impatient for my humble position..." Chen Yuan cupped his hands and cupped his fists.
A smile flashed in Li Mingqi's eyes and he nodded:
"It's rare for you to have such a heart."
"Your Majesty's orders, I have always kept them in mind, thinking of contributing my small contribution to the imperial court."
Chen Yuan said quickly.
"Official Xiu Mu is right, we need to check these cancers carefully!" Li Mingqi said righteously.
"I understand the humble position!"
...
...
"Brother Yuan, do you want to take a rest for seven days?"
Wang Ping was slightly startled when he heard the news from Chen Yuan's mouth. Seven days was not a short period of time. Normally, the rest was only for one day, unless there were other incidents.
Moreover, officials such as head catchers rarely take a break because they usually have plenty of time.
Could it be...
Brother Yuan was injured in Yanyu Tower?
"There are things to do." Chen Yuan nodded.
"Then... what should I do if I catch the house?" Wang Ping asked quickly.
He knew that Brother Yuan had only recently taken this seat, which was not suitable for sleeping for such a long time.
"Just follow the steps. Besides, the county captain is still here, so there won't be any trouble in a few days..." Chen Yuan said.
Wang Ping nodded and said no more.
Brother Yuan must have his reasons for doing this.
"During the seven days I am sleeping, you should be more careful. Don't worry about the demons of Wusheng Cult. Just patrol every day. Even if something big happens, don't disturb me. Do you understand?"
Chen Yuan warned with a serious expression.
"Brother Yuan, don't worry."
"By the way, if Uncle Zhou and the others want to find me, you have to stop me. Just say that I am not in the county office for the time being to pursue the case..."
Wang Ping stared at Chen Yuan for a moment and nodded seriously:
"good."
"in addition..."
Chen Yuan hesitated for a moment and whispered:
"I'd also like to advise Uncle Wang, it's best not to go to Yanyu Tower. It's not that simple inside."
