No taboos

Chapter 302: The Stone Hits One's Own Foot (Debt 23)

"Li Yichuan!" Nanhu was shocked.

No matter how loud their rhymes are, they are just local rich people in Xuanguang County.

It's incomparable to the Li family.

Moreover, Li Yichuan is the head of the Li family. He sent his long-time attendant to write a personal letter. Who would dare not give him such face?

"Who is this Xu Yuan you offended? He's incredible." Master Feng Si advised, "Just admit your mistake. We can't withstand the overwhelming force!"

Master Feng Si left after saying this: "I can't stay any longer. My elder brother knows about our friendship and has people keeping an eye on me.

You also know that my eldest brother is a sinister person. If he knew that I was leaking information to you, he would definitely go to my mother to complain.

You know my mother's temper better than anyone else. I'm fifty years old now, and if I get beaten up by her again... where will I put my face?"

After Mr. Feng Si left in a hurry, Nanhu sat in the teahouse for two hours.

Finally, I figured it out. The Li family was not targeting the Nan family. The Li family was just helping Xu Yuan handle this case.

Even if he refused to give in and apologize, the Li family would not do anything to the Nan family after this matter was over.

Because there is no need.

The Li family has a huge business and they don't have enough time to make money - to put it bluntly, but it's true: their time and energy are precious and will not be wasted on the Nan family.

Nanhu has been the local leader in Xuanguang County for too long and can no longer bend and stretch.

He stood up and told his attendants, "Pay the bill and go home."

I give in!

But I won’t make amends or apologize - I won’t mess with you again.

Can't I just avoid you?
After Nanhu got on the car, he still felt very depressed.

A moment later, the carriage creaked past the yamen again, and the crowd of onlookers suddenly cheered: "Meng Sanlang has revealed the list!"

"Meng Sanlang is the best hero in Xuanhua! If he shows up, he will definitely solve this case!"

"Everyone else is afraid of revealing this list and bringing disgrace to the Nan family, so they dare not come forward. In this county, the only hero is Meng Sanlang!"

Nan Hu was so angry that the vein at the corner of his eye was twitching.

A bunch of ignorant fools!
The man you call the best man in Xuanhua, Meng Sanlang, is nothing but a dog secretly raised by the Tan family!

If the Tan family hadn't arranged for people to flatter him, how could Meng Sanlang have such a great reputation?

The crowd watching the excitement was praising Meng Sanlang, but they saw that the captains of the Quhui Division had already returned with a group of people in a mighty procession.

Nan Hu took a look in the car and recognized that they were from Widow Zhou's husband's family.

"He actually...solved the case first..." Nan Hu lost his voice.

For the first time, I felt that this young inspector was quite capable.

Of course, Nanhu could not hide the matter of Widow Zhou, and he also got a hundred taels of silver.

But it is truly impressive that an inspector from Champa could see through the "game" so quickly without any help from the locals.

Nanhu felt a little uneasy: Could this kid really solve the case?

Then I would really lose face.

Nan Hu evasively whispered in the car, "Move quickly."

The carriage sped up and headed straight back home.

……

In the county government office, Yao Qingyuan went to the court to interrogate the prisoner brought back by Xu Yuan.

There were five people in Widow Zhou's husband's family, plus their village head and security chief, all involved in this matter.

They confessed to their crimes in court.

Yao Qingyuan cut the Gordian knot and sent them to prison.

We can't continue the investigation any further, otherwise people from the yamen will be implicated.

After returning to the rear court, Yao Qingyuan ordered someone to find the yamen runner who was assigned to lead Xu Yuan today.

The yamen runner described what happened today, and then said, "After we returned from Widow Zhou's uncle's house this morning, their house began to be haunted.

In broad daylight, Widow Zhou emerged from the well in my uncle's house to seek revenge!

My uncle was so frightened that he fell to the ground and peed his pants."

"And he didn't let any of those who conspired with him go. He even threatened to implicate their families if they didn't confess. No one could escape!" "Then the people from the Exorcism Bureau showed up, and all of them confessed..."

Yao Qingyuan looked solemn and waved his hand to let the bailiff go.

"He suddenly came out in broad daylight to claim my life? Widow Zhou has been dead for several days. Haha, why didn't Xu Yuan claim my life before he came?"

But Yao Qingyuan was not mocking Xu Yuan, but rather expressing admiration: the situation was opened up so quickly.

Li Yichuan secretly informed the Tan, Wang and Feng families about the matter, but of course he could not hide it from Yao Qingyuan.

In Yao Qingyuan's view, Xu Yuan's image has changed from "a small inspector from Shanhe County who got promoted by luck" to:
A young talent with a mysterious and complex background, a frivolous temperament but outstanding abilities, and a promising future.

Such people can cooperate with each other instead of the previous "neither helping each other".

Yao Qingyuan was just thinking about how to show some goodwill to Xu Yuan when his old servant came running over: "Master, this is bad! Another one's dead!"

Yao Qingyuan smiled slightly and asked, "Where is Inspector Xu?"

"We've already rushed to the scene."

"Come on, let's go and take a look together."

……

Xu Yuan made the two little foxes transform into the appearance of Widow Zhou, and then crawled out of the well, scaring her husband's family half to death.

They peed their pants and confessed to the crime.

Yao Qingyuan interrogated the family in court and convicted her husband's family. After Xu Yuan returned, he was rewarding the fox sisters with a small dried fish each.

The fox sisters complained in their hearts: When did we give you the impression that we like to eat fish?
Back in Qihetai Town, you knew very well that our two nieces liked to eat chicken.

Why is it changed to fish when it comes to us?

Or dried fish?

But the two timid foxes didn't dare to complain.

"Eat quickly, I bought it specially for you." Xu Yuan was still urging.

The two foxes hesitated, tearing off a thin piece of fish meat with their little claws and slowly putting it into their mouths...

"Sir!" Lang Xiaoba rushed in: "Another suicide!"

Xu Yuan rushed out immediately.

The two little foxes threw the dried fish aside in disgust.

……

As soon as Nan Hu arrived at his doorstep and got off the carriage, he saw a group of people rushing out in panic.

Several maids were pale as they ran and screamed, "Someone's dead!"

Nanhu's expression changed. He grabbed one of them and asked sternly, "Who's dead?"

"Master, Master committed suicide by disembowelment!"

Nan Hu’s eyes went dark, his body swayed and he fell to the ground with a thud.

The Nan family was in chaos.

……

As soon as Xu Yuan arrived, Yao Qingyuan followed.

Xu Yuan was also accompanied by that "Meng Sanlang".

Xu Yuan didn't even have the chance to have a detailed chat with Xuanhua's best hero.

"Your Excellency the County Magistrate." Xu Yuan clasped his fists and greeted him.

Yao Qingyuan returned the greeting with a smile, very politely: "Master Xu, please do not worry about me, just investigate the case. I will be here for you. If anyone in this county dares to obstruct your investigation, I will help you deal with it."

Xu Yuan thanked him.

The change in the county magistrate's attitude was too obvious.

Meng Sanlang followed Xu Yuan and whispered, "Nanhu has only one son like this. He has been carefully nurtured since childhood and is already a top-tier martial artist."

Everyone walked into Nanhu's son's room and saw blood all over the floor!
He committed suicide by cutting open his stomach, but this triggered a bloody explosion that destroyed his martial arts skills.

It was a very miserable death!
