All the money was emptied on the way to exile, and there was too much money to spend

"It's you, it's you who killed my child! It's you!"

Although the young woman's movements were controlled, she looked up at Xia Chan with her eyes that seemed to be able to spit out flames.

Summer cicadas can be burned to ashes.

Xia Chan really didn't understand why this person had such a great hatred towards him.

But looking at her expression of deep hatred, it didn't seem like she was pretending at all, which made Xia Chan very confused.

Could it be that I really killed her child?

The little girl in front of me?

Xia Chan lowered her eyes and her gaze fell on the little girl lying on the ground. Her expression suddenly changed.

He quickly released the woman he had subdued, knelt on one knee on the ground, and quickly reached out to check the little girl's breath.

I found that it had already cooled down.

She gasped.

How is this going?

The little girl's leg was broken by a horse's hoof, and she was given timely treatment to stop the bleeding. Logically, she would not have lost her life so soon.

But why is this happening?

What went wrong?

Xia Chan frowned and thought hard.

But at the same time he was paying attention to the woman's movements.

As soon as she glanced at the woman, she saw her suddenly spit out black blood, and her body fell straight back.

Summer Cicada: ...

This…

How is this going?

Did she take the poison before killing herself?

No, that's not right. If she had taken the poison before fighting with me, then she wouldn't have the strength to fight with me.

Therefore, the only reasonable explanation is that she had just been poisoned.

I was poisoned right under my nose...

When Xia Chan thought of this, he couldn't help but turn around and look at the two Ox-Headed and Horse-Faced Monsters on the high platform.

Don't ask her why she looked at them, it was just her intuition.

These two people are not simple.

And when she looked at them, they looked at her.

He was still wearing a mask, but the mask had turned into a green-faced, fang-toothed character from the underworld.

Not sure if it was Xia Chan’s illusion, but she seemed to see the green-faced, fang-toothed man standing on the left, open his mouth and say something.

He said, Xia Chan, you can't escape.

Xia Chan shuddered. The inexplicable chill made her tremble all over, and goose bumps appeared on her back.

"Cicada cicada..."

Someone supported my shoulders.

Xie Lin's voice rang in my ears.

Xia Chan came to her senses and looked up at him.

Seeing the worry on his face, she quickly looked towards the platform.

In the blink of an eye, the pair of men with green faces and fangs were gone.

"What's wrong, Chanchan?"

Xie Lin followed her gaze.

The high platform built by the circus performers was empty, with nothing on it.

"Cicada, is there anything on it?"

Xie Lin asked again.

Xia Chan shook his head.

"Did you just get back?"

"Yeah. I just got to the inn and heard from the innkeeper that you were out, so I came to look for you."

Xie Lin didn't explain why he came back late.

It’s also because there are so many people outside and it’s hard to explain.

Xia Chan didn't ask any further questions.

Rather than asking Xie Lin what happened on the road, there is something more important now.

Because of the mother and daughter who died for no reason, Xia Chan had to go to the town government office in Yong'an Town.

It wasn't that she wanted to go on her own initiative.

But after the riot just now ended, a lot of soldiers in uniform came. They stood not far away with knives in their hands, looking at Xia Chan and the others expressionlessly.

Although nothing was said, the meaning was already very clear.

The summer cicada has to leave on this trip whether he wants to or not.

"I'm going with Chanchan."

Xie Lin grabbed Xia Chan's hand and pulled her forward without caring about other people's eyes.

The soldiers standing nearby saw that Xia Chan and the others were so self-conscious, so they turned around and took Xia Chan and the others to the town government office without wasting any words.

In the town government office, Xia Chan took some effort to explain that the little girl's death had nothing to do with him.

As for that woman, she committed suicide by taking poison. It had nothing to do with her.

"How do you prove that their deaths have nothing to do with you?"

The mayor sitting in the upper seat stared at Xia Chan with a covetous look.

The summer cicada is not at all timid.

"The animal suddenly went mad and the little girl was trampled by the mad horse. This was not only seen by me, but also by other people."

"If you just go to the street and check, you should be able to find out the truth of the matter."

"Okay, let's assume that what you said is true. What about the woman? No one saw anyone else poisoning her, right? Tell me the truth, how did you poison her?"

The mayor picked up the gavel and slammed it hard on the table in front of him.

Xia Chan's eyes did not change and his expression was very calm and composed.

"Just because no one saw others poisoning her, you can't conclude that I was the one who poisoned her. Your judgment is hard to convince people, sir."

"Are you teaching me how to do things?"

Pan Hu narrowed his eyes and stared at Xia Chan, his eyes full of murderous intent.

Although he is the mayor, he does not have the air of a scholar at all. He gives people the feeling that he is more like a bandit.

The summer cicada snorted.

"Don't dare."

After that, he added calmly, "But I'm just a businessman, traveling around the country selling things to earn a little money to support my family."

"Don't say I don't have the courage to kill. Even if I do have the courage to kill, I would only kill those corrupt officials and bullies. Why would I kill a woman I don't even know?"

After Xia Chan finished speaking, he glanced at Pan Hu indifferently.

Pan Hu actually saw a hint of threat in that look.

Pan Hu felt a chill on his back and his palms were also a little cold.

He wiped his palms quietly.

"What you said is true?"

"I dare not deceive you, my Lord."

"Okay, I'll believe you for now. But I have to tell you that during your stay in Yong'an, you must honestly accept our surveillance."

"Anything related to today's case, no matter when they ask you to come over for questioning, you must cooperate."

"Can you do that?"

Pan Hu is giving Xia Chan a way out.

Perhaps, he was also giving himself a way out?

After all, Xia Chan's look just now was really a bit scary. Although Pan Hu was a local boss, he didn't dare to offend anyone too harshly.

Xia Chan and his friends came out of Yong'an Town Yamen. They had no interest in shopping, so they bought some things and went back to the inn.

Back in the new room, Xia Chan sat on the stool beside the table, holding the teapot in his hand.

At the moment she poured herself tea, she thought of where she was, so she put down the teapot and took out two bottles of fat house happy water from the space.

One bottle for Xie Lin and one bottle for myself.

She drank more than half of it in one breath before putting the bottle down.

"Cicada..."

Xie Lin sat down next to her and held her hand: "I'm sorry, I'm back late."
