The best county magistrate

Snapped!Snapped!Snapped!

Yang Xuanchen still received a heavy beating, but fortunately this time the old black shadow woman did not slap him in the face.

"Ah, senior, why are you still beating me?" He was a little confused.

The black-shadowed old woman sneered and said, "I'm used to being beaten...by beating."

Yang Xuanchen felt that her eyes were examining him in the darkness, and then he was lifted up like a little chicken.

"You're a good-looking boy. In terms of looks, he's worthy of a young lady. He's also very courageous. His wealth..."

The old woman in black shadow kept talking there, regardless of what Yang Xuanchen was thinking, she rambled for a while and then stopped.

The darkness fell into silence again.

"Senior...Senior." Yang Xuanchen bravely called out in a low voice.

Then he started groping in the darkness. It seemed to be a dark room, which was drier than the dark passage just now, and there was some hay on the floor.

Swish!

A gust of wind hit him in the face, and the shadowy old woman had quietly arrived in front of him following his cry.

Yang Xuanchen was so frightened that he sat down on the ground again.

The black-shadowed old woman sneered disdainfully, "I take back what I just said about your courage. You kid is not good enough..."

I'm going to blanch, you old witch actually said I can't do it!

If it weren't for your age, I, Yang Mengde, would definitely show you what it means to be one day at a time, one day at a time!

"Okay, since the eldest lady can take a liking to a young boy like you, you should also be somewhat capable."

Speaking of this, her tone became softer.

"Tell me about the eldest lady and Miss Ran."

Judging from the words of the black shadow old woman, she should be an old man from the Zhou family, and she has a relatively close relationship with Zhou Miaomiao and Zhou Xinran.

Since they were one of their own, there was nothing to hide. Then Yang Xuanchen said a lot of things about the two girls, which made her sigh.

"I understand..."

She paused, as if thinking about something, and then continued.

"You can do whatever you want with this house, but don't do anything with this well and the underground passage."

"When the eldest lady comes back, she will know my intentions."

When Yang Xuanchen heard this, he thought that the old woman with shadow was leaving here, so he quickly grabbed her in the dark, trying to keep her here.

"Boy, what are you scratching at? I have lived in this dark place for more than ten years and I have long been used to it."

I wonder, no wonder she is so familiar with this place, it turns out this is her home.

But why do good people have to live in secret passages?

"Senior, if you can trust me, why not live in your temporary residence first? When the mansion is repaired, we can move back. By then Miaomiao..."

The old black shadow woman shook her head and sighed, "Forget it, this is fine."

Yang Xuanchen saw that she was unwilling and would not force her, and then asked about the past events of Zhou Mansion.

"Let me call you mother-in-law. You are the elder of Miaomiao and Xinran, and naturally you are also the elder of me, Yang Xuanchen."

"I am now the Young Master of Zhan Shi Mansion. I can talk to the emperor and have some friends."

"I want to know what happened in the Zhou Mansion back then, and who framed General Zhou. I promised Miaomiao that I would avenge her..."

As Yang Xuanchen spoke more and more touching words, the eyes of the black shadow old woman brightened a little more.

"If I could just take revenge by killing Song Guangxin, I would have killed him long ago, but those people hiding deep..."

Yang Xuanchen listened quietly to her recounting scenes of the past, and his eyebrows wrinkled into the character "Sichuan".

"Mother-in-law, Song Guangxin is indeed very suspicious. I am investigating a case recently..."

"Your judgment is correct. Song Guangxin is most likely Duan Zhenglong's man." The old woman in black shadow asked Yang Xuanchen to sit down and listen to what she said slowly.

"When the master went on the expedition, Song Guangxin was just a member of the Ministry of Rites, but his eldest brother Song Guangde was the general of Zhenxi!"

"Song Guangde and the master have always been at odds with each other, and he has even been suppressing the master in the court..."

As more past events came out of the old woman's mouth, Yang Xuanchen learned more about what happened back then.

"Mother-in-law, the Song family is supposed to be a promising veteran. Why would His Majesty re-employ Song Guangxin and Song Guangcheng now? What's wrong with Song Guangde?"

Although Yang Xuanchen already had answers to these questions, he still wanted to hear more information.

The old woman sneered, "That Song Guangde was a two-faced thing, but fortunately he is dead."

"It's a pity that he died in front of Zhao Tianjian. It was precisely because he saved Zhao Tianjian's life that the Song family was deeply cared for."

Well, this makes sense. No wonder Emperor Jianwen didn't care at all about the knife Song Guangcheng used to chop him.

It turns out that the Song family still has such a relationship with him, Zhao Tianjian.

It seemed that he had to make long-term plans to deal with Song Guangxin and Song Guangcheng, otherwise he might offend the emperor and not even know it.

However, the Yelujin case has been traced to Hua Zigan, and the finger is vaguely pointed at Song Guangxin, so he has to be careful.

Before there is irrefutable evidence, we must not act rashly.

When he thought of the case, Yang Xuanchen raised the questions in his heart again.

"Mother-in-law, I just told you that a case being investigated is related to Song Guangxin, which involves a strange poison in the world, dragon marrow incense..."

"What! Dragon marrow incense?" the old woman exclaimed.

After the exclamation, the place fell into silence again.

After a while, the old woman sighed faintly, "Back then, I suspected that the eldest young master was poisoned by the dragon marrow incense."

"I still vaguely remember that the eldest young master and Song Guangcheng had an argument in front of the Song Mansion that day, and then the eldest young master suddenly went crazy..."

Halfway through, Yang Xuanchen interrupted, "Did my uncle die of poisoning?"

"No, the eldest young master died under Song Guangcheng's sword, and then Wu Feng was taken away!"

"What! Wufeng has ever fallen into the hands of the Song family?" This time it was Yang Xuanchen's turn to be shocked.

If the Song family knew the power of Wufengjian, then there was a new explanation for the Qian Youde case four years ago.

The Song family must have deployed many spies in and around Qingshui County in order to find this magic weapon again.

Naturally, there was the case of Qian Youde poisoning Chen Zhi, and naturally there was also the matter of his relationship with Song Guangxin.

Thinking of this, Yang Xuanchen laughed to himself, maybe he really had destiny.

From the day he crossed over to this world and became the county magistrate, his fate seemed to be tied to many people.

At this time, the old woman spoke again, "In my impression, the eldest young master has always been a stable child."

"Even if Song Guangcheng was provocative that day, the eldest young master would not fight with him. It is said that even the guards around the eldest young master went crazy that day..."

"Later, when I returned to Beijing, I found He Jiuxiao and Hua..."

"Hua'an or Huamao?" Yang Xuanchen reminded.

"Yes, it's Hua'an." The old woman continued, "He Jiuxiao and Hua'an both said that the eldest young master and the guards were poisoned by dragon marrow incense, saying that the poison could cause hallucinations and madness."

Yang Xuanchen rubbed his chin while thinking.

If the dragon marrow incense comes from the Song family, then they have been using it to poison people who can't be dealt with more than ten years ago.

Now I can use this clue to check those people who died suddenly due to epilepsy in recent years and see if they are all related to the Song family.

As the clues gradually increase, you will definitely get closer and closer to the truth. Just wait for those people hidden deep in the old woman's mouth.

Yang Xuanchen secretly made up his mind to find out the real culprit who framed the Zhou family, whether it was for Zhou Miaomiao or for himself.

"Boy, I just heard you boast that you still have some abilities, but in my opinion, you are still too weak now."

"The enemy is always stronger than the ones you see, so you have to be mentally prepared."

At this point, she chuckled and said, "The old man who came down with you is here again. You can just let him be."

"If there is anything you can't figure out in the future, you can come to me."

Yang Xuanchen stood up and bowed politely, "Mother-in-law, then you will stay in the secret passage for a few days. When Miaomiao returns to Beijing, I will ask her to pick you up and see you again."

With a bang, he was kicked on the butt and rolled down the slope.

In the darkness, the old woman seemed to have a smile on her face, and then the figure disappeared like a ghost.
