"Magistrate Song, what's wrong?"
Unexpectedly, just when Song Zhili was about to go crazy and asked Xu Zhen angrily, a gentle and jade-like voice came from behind everyone.
Everyone looked back and couldn't help but be surprised again.
But standing at the door was actually the man known as the leader of the four evil men in Yanping County - Wei Yulang! !
Behind Wei Yulang, there were also the housekeeper Lao Liu and several servants.
The servants used double poles to carry more than ten boxes of gifts. The boxes contained chicken, duck, fish, meat, rice, flour, oil and other items. They seemed to be here to give gifts.
"This..." Song Zhili's thoughts were confused. He was stunned for a long time before he realized what he was doing. He hurried forward to greet him, saluted and asked, "Oh, it turns out Wei Sicheng is here. What are you doing?"
"Oh," Wei Yulang returned the courtesy and said, "Wei said that after the funeral of my little girl is over, he will come to visit and say thank you!"
"Oops..." Song Zhili just raised his hand and wanted to say a few polite words, but was interrupted by a voice.
"Master... Master..." But when he saw a servant running in from outside, he said hurriedly to Wei Yulang, "We have guests at home, saying that Songzhou is joining the army and our Lord Commander of Daguan County, you... you Go back quickly!"
"..."
Hearing this, Song Zhili's heart trembled. He never expected that after the two officials left, they went to visit Wei Yulang.
You should know that Wei Yulang, as the former Dianke Sicheng of Honglu Temple, has a low official rank, but he is a capital official after all.
Although he is now an official, he still has close ties with senior officials in the DPRK.
What's more, one of Wei Yulang's relatives is the governor of Tangzhou and the other is the military and cavalry captain of Daguan City. Therefore, when Sima Xin and Cai Jin came to Yanping County this time, they had to pay a visit to them.
"Oh," after hearing this, Wei Yulang clapped the back of his hands and said, "I wanted to pay a visit to the two adults, but I got sidetracked! I got sidetracked!"
"Oh," Chen Houlu said quickly, "then Wei Sicheng should go back and take a look. Don't keep the two adults waiting. We can talk about anything here in the Yamen."
"Yes, yes..." Song Zhili quickly agreed.
"No need." Unexpectedly, Wei Yulang waved his hand leisurely and said to the housekeeper, Old Liu, "You go and explain to the two adults first."
"Yes!" Old Liu Yingnuo immediately followed the servant who reported the news and left.
"Well..." Wei Yulang looked at the people around him, then at the two assassins kneeling in the lobby, and said to Song Zhili, "County Magistrate Song, didn't I come at the right time?"
"Oh, no, no, no, no..." Song Zhili heard what Wei Yulang meant and quickly pointed to the back hall and said, "It's all official business, there is a bit of chaos here, let's talk in the back hall!"
Soon, the two county magistrates took Wei Yulang and his party into the back hall.
"Huh?" At this time, Shen Yu scratched his head and asked Cheng Xiao, "Captain Cheng, what should we do with these two Eastward Travelers? Let's quickly interrogate them! If we can find out their superiors, we may know who wants them. Killed Senior Brother Xu Zhen!"
Cheng Xiao did not speak, but walked up to the two killers, looked at them carefully, and then pointed at the bloody calf of one of them and asked:
"Did you do this?"
"No, no," Shen Yu quickly replied, "Senior Brother Xu did it. These two people are too tough-mouthed. If you don't give them some color, you won't tell the truth."
"Tsk tsk..."
At this moment, Cheng Xiao had already guessed the whole story. The employer was most likely the county magistrate, Song Zhili.
As Chen Houlu said, Xu Zhen is just a small policeman, who would pay someone to kill him?
So, since Magistrate Song has murderous intentions, it means that Qiu Batian's matter is probably caused by Xu Zhen secretly.
This Xu Zhen...
Cheng Xiao secretly clenched his fists. On the one hand, he felt even more resentment towards Xu Zhen, but on the other hand, he deeply understood how terrifying Song Zhili was. He actually bypassed him and went directly to hire Dongyou Sanren. Obviously, he was not at ease with himself.
Therefore... we must be more cautious when dealing with these two East Travelers, and we must not find out the employer behind the scenes.
"Okay," thinking of this, Cheng Xiao said to Shen Yu, "leave these two people to me! Now our South Prison is overcrowded, and I have to find a place for them."
"But Chief Cheng," Shen Yu said urgently, "there were three assassins last night, one of them escaped, and the one who escaped was the leader. I'm worried that they will do harm to Senior Brother Xu, and I have to interrogate these two people quickly. That's fine, if you're too busy... why don't you leave it to me to interrogate?"
"No," Cheng Xiao quickly waved his hand, "You have no experience, so it's better for me to interrogate you myself! Don't worry, I can still interrogate you no matter how busy you are."
"Oh..." Shen Yu pouted, "Okay then!"
After saying that, Shen Yu could only watch helplessly as Cheng Xiao took away the two East Travelers.
After being taken away, although the colleagues no longer gossiped, the looks they looked at Shen Yu changed, and they were obviously talking about the relationship between Shen Yu and Xu Zhen in their hearts.
"Hmph!" Shen Yu narrowed his eyes and gestured with his fist at them, and the group dispersed in a hurry...
…
At the same time, the two county magistrates had already sat down with Wei Yulang in the inner hall.
After sitting down, there was inevitably a while of polite greetings.
Song Zhili and Chen Houlu thanked Wei Yulang for being thoughtful and too polite.
Wei Yulang praised the heroic performance of the two county officials and said that they handled the Qiu Batian case well, which won the hearts of the people and was praised by the people.
Wei Yulang's praise made the two county officials blush and smile apologetically.
Next, Wei Yulang also said that if the Yamen needs help in dealing with Qiu Batian's problem, he will do his best.
The two county magistrates were even more embarrassed and expressed their gratitude repeatedly.
Later, Wei Yulang brought up his daughter's case again, praising the Yamen's ability to solve the case, saying that if the Yamen had not solved the case in a timely manner, the Wei family's losses would have been even greater.
The two county magistrates had no choice but to respond humbly and said many official polite words.
Unexpectedly, after a conversation, Wei Yulang still had no intention of leaving, and actually chatted about other things again, talking endlessly.
At this time, Chen Houlu finally couldn't hold himself back and reminded:
"Wei Sicheng, don't forget that our army sergeant and the county governor are still waiting for you at your home. Wouldn't it be inappropriate if you go back too late?"
Unexpectedly, Wei Yulang said nonchalantly: "It's okay, just wait a little longer. Let's talk about the two of them. What will happen if the governor comes?"
Oops...
Song Zhili and Chen Houlu were secretly stunned. This Wei Yulang's tone was really quite serious. This shows how strong his backstage power must be.
"By the way, you two adults," Wei Yulang saw that the atmosphere was in place and said, "In addition to thanking you for coming this time, Wei Yulang also has something to ask of you two adults!"
ah?
The two county officials were startled, and Song Zhili was the first to respond: "Wei Sicheng's words are serious. Please speak, please speak. As long as we can do it, we are bound to do it."
"Haha, that's good, that's good..."
Wei Yulang smiled slightly, then raised his hands high and clapped his palms three times.
As a result, as soon as the door opened, a person walked in from the outside.
After the visitor entered the door, he quickly greeted the two county officials: "Master Song, Master Chen!"
"ah?"
Seeing this person, Song Zhili frowned instantly and swallowed unconsciously.
The person who came in was none other than—Xu Zhen!
"Two adults," Wei Yulang quickly stood up and came to Xu Zhen's side, saying enthusiastically, "I, Wei Yulang, hereby announce something. I have become brothers of the opposite sex with this Xu Zhen agent. He is now my sworn brother." Brother..."
