The stall owner couldn't help but shake his head when he heard Xu Taiping's words: "The county magistrate is not weak, but in Lianshou County..."
He sighed heavily as he spoke.
Xu Taiping understood instantly.
Another confused magistrate.
In other words, he is a county magistrate who pretends to be confused and does not seek his own government in his position. Especially this case also involves two parties, the wealthy Yu family and the county captain Ren Yude. There may even be a water demon involved. It is very complicated and neither party is good. provoke.
In this case, it was only natural for County Magistrate Qiao Lichen to pretend to be confused.
Monks are human beings too.
Xu Taiping thought of this and pretended to be angry: "Then no one will care?"
"I told you to report it to the county. Let's see if the county will send someone down."
"It's been so long, I've come all the way here, and the county hasn't sent anyone down yet?"
"Then who knows, the county police officers are also very busy, who knows when they will come down."
"What about the county lieutenant? The county lieutenant also shoulders the important task of slaying demons and demons. Can't he clear his name?"
"The county captain was identified by the bride as the murderer and also a suspect. How can a suspect investigate the case on his own?"
"Why did the county lieutenant become a murderer again?"
"It is said that love should not lead to hatred."
Xu Taiping deliberately frowned again: "That's not right. The Yu family is said to be one of the richest families in Lianshou County, and the county captain is also young and promising. Why would he fall in love with a girl from a small family like the Ji family at the same time? ? Could it be that she was born as beautiful as a fairy?"
"We often saw her on the street in the past. Although she was beautiful, it was really not enough for Yu Zecheng and Ren Yude to fight over, so people didn't quite believe what Miss Ji said and thought she was biting indiscriminately out of desperation."
“What do the neighbors think?”
"What do you think? It's just a random guess. Anyway, the person is dead, and Miss Ji has become the eldest mistress and the only head of the Yu family. Many people are already eyeing her."
"Focus on her?"
"That's right, it's good to have both people and money, hehehehe."
Xu Taiping sneered secretly.
There really are guys who are not afraid of death.
They didn't even think about whether Ji Xiaoshan could be touched by them.
Ji Xiaoshan is the murderer, and they are throwing themselves into a trap when they come to her door.
Ji Xiaoshan is not the murderer, which means that Ji Xiaoshan has been targeted by a more powerful person and is the meat of that person. If they provoke Ji Xiaoshan, the fate will be the same as that of the Yu family, or even worse.
No matter what the situation is, Ji Xiaoshan is not something ordinary people can mess with.
Wait, maybe there is a way.
Ji Xiaoshan and Ren Yude are both suspects, but they are both hidden deeply and will never reveal any flaws in this case.
But what if a third party suddenly intervenes?
No matter who the murderer is, something will definitely be done.
And what is the murderer’s motive? What is the purpose?
Xu Taiping reviewed the situation carefully and focused on Ji Xiaoshan.
If the murderer is Ren Yude, then Ji Xiaoshan, the shop owner, is the target of Yu Zecheng and Ren Yude.
In other words, marrying Ji Xiaoshan has great benefits.
I don’t know what this benefit is yet, but I’m sure it’s definitely extraordinary.
If the murderer is Ji Xiaoshan, it means that the benefit is even more terrifying, so terrifying that Ji Xiaoshan would not hesitate to kill the entire Yu family.
But the possibility of Ji Xiaoshan being the murderer is low, because if she really doesn't want to marry Yu Zecheng and has the strength to kill Yu Zecheng's entire family, she has better options, such as running away directly. With such strength, she won't be hungry anywhere. Why kill everyone in the Yu family and turn yourself into a murderer?
The family is full of murderers, but they must be executed immediately.
Therefore, let's assume that the murderer is Ren Yude, and Ren Yude's goal is to possess Ji Xiaoshan and gain benefits.
So if someone intervenes and wants to pick up peaches at this time, Ren Yude will definitely not sit idly by.
Thinking of this, Xu Taiping smiled.
Today, I will be a peach picker.
Xu Taiping chatted with the stall owner for a while, then left the county town, put on Liu Sanbian's vest again, and entered through the city gate with great swagger.
Starting from the city gate, he attracted the attention of almost all passers-by.
Wherever he passed, there was an instant silence. People stared at him as if they were under a charm. They didn't start talking until he disappeared from sight.
"Who is this?"
"It looks unusual."
"He is very noble. He must be a noble son of a big family."
"He has a transcendent temperament. I'm afraid he is not as simple as a noble young master. He is most likely a Confucian and Taoist monk."
"He must be a Confucian and Taoist monk. How dare an ordinary nobleman go on the road alone?"
"So handsome."
"The girl selling flowers on the roadside is drooling after seeing it."
"Why are you heading to the Yu family's mansion?"
"Are you here for the Yu family's case?"
"It's broken. There's going to be another storm. Everyone, please take care of yourself these days. Don't run around and don't make inquiries. You may risk your life."
"..."
Xu Taiping deliberately walked hard every step of the way, and only after gaining enough attention did he arrive at the Yu family's mansion.
Knock on the door.
It was still the little maid: "Who?"
"Liu Sanbian asks to see Young Mistress of the Yu family."
"It turns out to be Mr. Liu, please come in."
"sorry to bother you."
Xu Taiping came in and sat down to drink tea. When Ji Xiaoshan came out, she smiled and looked into Ji Xiaoshan's eyes: "Miss Ji, I can save you, but I need your cooperation. Are you willing?"
Ji Xiaoshan nodded heavily: "Yes!"
"Are you willing to give up this huge property of the Yu family?"
"willing!"
Um?
So decisive?
This seems to rule out the possibility of Ji Xiaoshan trying to seize the Yu family's property.
Xu Taiping thought this and smiled: "Okay, pack up and come with me."
"Ah?" Ji Xiaoshan was stunned.
The little maid hurriedly said: "Sir, my young lady has been ordered to stay at home and is not allowed to leave."
"It doesn't matter, I have my own way."
"real?"
"Um."
"Thank you, sir," the little maid quickly thanked him.
Ji Xiaoshan looked at the little maid: "Can you take her with you?"
Xu Taiping smiled and nodded: "Of course."
"Okay, let the little lady take care of things."
"please."
After Ji Xiaoshan finished speaking, she took the little maid and got busy.
Half an hour later.
Ji Xiaoshan and the little maid packed up and stood in front of Xu Taiping: "Young Master, you can go."
Xu Taiping stood up and made an invitation gesture: "Miss Ji, please."
His title also changed.
From the previous "younger brother and sister" to "Ji girl".
Ji Xiaoshan realized this, but after thinking about it, she decided to follow Liu Sanbian and leave.
Anyway, the current situation can't get any worse, and this Liu Sanbian is clearly a distinguished person, a Confucian and Taoist monk, and should be able to suppress the county magistrate and county captain.
Go out.
Ji Xiaoshan's eyes widened when she saw an extremely luxurious four-wheel carriage.
These four horses are probably nothing more than the legendary Pegasus, right?
He is so handsome, and there is not a single variegated hair on his body. It simply does not look like something that should exist in the human world.
The carriage exudes an aura of nobility that makes people dare not look directly at it.
Is this something ordinary people can ride on?
I'm afraid only the emperor is qualified to ride.
No, the emperor is Bajia.
This carriage is for four.
Who can ride in a carriage?
According to the laws of the Jin Dynasty, only people with titles of marquis, duke, king or above, and Confucian and Taoist monks above the academic level can ride four-wheel carriages.
Anyone else riding on it, including the Grand Master, a martial arts master, would be regarded as trespassing.
Because the carriage is no longer an ordinary means of transportation, but a part of the ceremonial ceremony, it is also to highlight the special characteristics of the princes, nobles and Confucian and Taoist monks.
The moment the little maid saw the carriage, her expression changed drastically.
This is no ordinary carriage!
It's a carriage summoned by Confucianism, Taoism and magical powers!
Only Confucian and Taoist monks at the bachelor level can summon such a carriage!
This Liu Sanbian is actually a Confucian cultivator at the academic level?
