Chapter 227 (1/2)



227 Case analysis (1)

The government?

“So what if you’re a magistrate? I even dared to kill people in front of the Ministry of Justice’s Yamen. Is it that hard to kill a mere rank-7 like you?”

Xu Qi ‘an pressed his hand down, and the sharp black-gold long knife instantly cut the back of the experienced man’s neck. The latter clearly felt the pain from the back of his neck, and warm blood flowed out.

You really dare to kill me … The local governor’s heart tightened. He looked at the other night watchmen in panic, hoping that they could stop this lawless companion.

However, the attitude of song tingfeng and the others made the manager’s heart sink. He was calm, indifferent, and stood by. He had long heard of the bad reputation of the night watchman, who was particularly arrogant, but he did not believe that the night watchman would dare to kill an official of the Imperial court in the Yamen.

Song tingfeng met his eyes and smiled. Mr. Manager, you’ve encroached on the inheritance of an official of the court. Even if I don’t kill you now, I’ll still have ways to kill you when you’re in prison.

this is the usual method of us night watchmen, ” Tang yinluo added. when the time comes, it won’t be as simple as the inheritance.

“I … I know I was wrong.” The manager swallowed his saliva and accepted his fate with a pale face.

Xu Qi ‘an put away his knife and kicked the manager. “Go, call all the people who have received the silver to the hall. I want to question them one by one.”

The official clutched the back of his neck, which was bleeding profusely, and staggered away.

Xu Qi ‘an looked away and continued to check his belongings until he was out of sight.

“You’re afraid that the relics with clues will be taken, causing the case to be closed?” Tang yinluo said.

if Zhou qu really left clues in the relics, then he would not choose those valuable items that could easily arouse people’s greed. Xu Qi ‘an looked up at him.

“I just want to take back what belongs to Zhou Jing. When the case is over, I’ll hand it over to his family.”

“Your character is worthy of my admiration.” Tang yinluo praised, and then added,”Although you are very lecherous.”

No, this was the most basic moral … A guy who doesn’t even let go of the dead’s money is a rotten person, trash. Xu Qian ridiculed in his heart.

In addition, could a man’s matter be called lecherous? It was clearly a Fair Lady that a gentleman wanted.

Xu Qi ‘an recalled a joke he had seen before.Although I drink, smoke, get tattoos, and go to nightclubs, I know I’m a good girl.

‘Although I’m white silk, white silk, and white silk, I know I’m a good man …’

About ten minutes later, an official in a green robe with embroidered white silk walked into the warehouse, followed by an officer who had simply bandaged the wound on his neck, and an official who was also wearing a green robe with embroidered egrets.

In the officialdom, one could guess the rank of the other party just by looking at the official’s uniform. For example, this green-robed official with the White silk was of the sixth rank, and only the prefect in the government office was of the sixth rank.

The saying “only clothes are recognized, not people” was originally spread from the officialdom.

A plump middle-aged magistrate with a round face welcomed them warmly. When he got close to Xu Qi ‘an and the others, he said bitterly, ”

“I am ashamed. I was not strict enough to let them do such a shameful thing.”

He reflected on himself and took out a heavy little bag. here’s 150 taels of silver. It’s what manager Zhou left behind. I’ve already recovered it for him.

There was no need to use the Qi observation skill for such a small matter. The fact that the state capital could make such a concession was all because of the provincial governor. Xu Qi ‘an had anticipated this, so he was not afraid.

If the magistrate did not buy it, he could complain to provincial governor Zhang. Of course, the possibility of such a thing happening was not high. He believed that the magistrate of a state had the intelligence to do so.

So, Xu Qi ‘an reached out to take it, weighed it in her hand, and didn’t pester her.

“Lord magistrate, please help me prepare the carriage. I’m going to take the items left behind by experienced Zhou back to the relay station.” Xu Qi ‘an said.

The magistrate first looked at the one with the silver Gong embroidered on his chest. Seeing that this person was silent, he knew in his heart that the copper Gong that he was talking to was the leader of the group.

“Definitely, definitely.”

Xu Qi ‘an left behind two Tiger guards to work with the bailiffs from the government office to transport Zhou Qu’s belongings back to the relay station. They rode out of the city. Accompanying him was also a fast-track bounty hunter from the government.

Also known as fast hands.

Zhou Qu’s body was buried in a mass grave 30 miles outside the city. The mass grave of this era was more like a Cemetery from his previous life, with graves one after another.

The people buried in the mass grave were the dead of poor families. Those who were well-off would ask a Feng Shui Master to choose the location of their grave.

“Milords, manager Zhou’s grave is over there,” He quickly pointed at a willow tree. There was a small grave under the willow tree.

A few of the Tiger guards took down the shovels from the horse hooks and dug up the grave one after another. Dirt flew everywhere, and with a muffled ” Dong ” sound, the shovel hit the coffin.

The guards of the Tiger Troop wiped the dirt off the coffin. The thin coffin was pried open, and an unpleasant stench gushed out.

Everyone took a few steps back. Martial artists had a keen sense of smell and could not stand the stench.

Xu Qi ‘an took out a porcelain bottle and distributed the small pills inside to everyone. These were the anti-virus pills given by the Directorate of Celestials.

Then, he covered his mouth and nose and walked to the coffin.

A male corpse in white was lying there quietly, his ashen face facing the sky.

His skin was greenish-black and covered with livor mortis of different shades. There were a few rotting holes on his face, and maggots were wriggling in them.

His body was slightly swollen. This was a swelling phenomenon caused by the skin tissue being filled with rotting gas after death. At this time, the skin would break with a light poke, and stinky blood would spray out.

Xu Qi ‘an had learned this knowledge before, but this was the first time he had seen it.
