Dad, we are so stable, should we do something?

"What we did that day was really unnecessary. They were just acting and we went in to do good deeds." Tian Xing'er suddenly felt like a fool.

Tian Zhenwei saw that Tian Xing'er regretted being a good person, so he comforted her, "But it seems that Doctor Yang does have a sick child at home, this is true, we will give it to the child."

They no longer planned to care about Doctor Yang's matter. They were curious and watched a big show. They didn't know whether they could leave the city tomorrow. It was good that they were not blamed. After listening to what Tian Zhenwei and others said, they always felt that this county magistrate was not a good person.

The incident of Mr. Yan being killed last night had caused a big commotion, but because the other party had done so many evil things in the past, the people who heard the noise last night kept silent and pretended not to know. After Doctor Yang and his group left, someone secretly opened a window and looked out, and found that the scene was full of dead bodies, but they did not report to the police. Today, Mr. Yan is dead, and everyone can finally breathe a sigh of relief.

Normally, when Mr. Yan came to the town, everyone had to give way to him, but if someone blocked his way, he would beat the passerby severely before stopping. The people in the town were all afraid of him, and he was a hated existence by everyone.

Now that someone has killed them, they considered it good that they did not applaud. They still expected to report it to the police, but that was simply impossible.

So Mr. Yan and his gang were not discovered until the night watchman passed by and they reported the matter to the authorities.

The officials' arrival was not slow, but not fast either. They were just as perfunctory as they usually were.

"Because it was still late at night, they asked the coroner to take a quick look. In short, it was a revenge killing. The yamen runners could also guess that. After all, there were many people who hated this old dog Yan, including themselves. They just accepted money from him and had to put on a smile. Now that the man was gone and no one was paying him, why should they care? It was good enough to have someone check it out.

So the yamen runners on duty put up a no-entry sign at the scene, found two people to guard the scene, and all the others went back. The next morning, the county magistrate issued a notice to conduct a thorough investigation, saying that there was a vicious thief in the county and they wanted to catch the wanted criminal. It became inconvenient to enter and exit, but as long as they spent money, it was not a big deal.

Tian Xing'er and the others had seen almost everything and there was nothing else they wanted to see in this area. Thinking about what happened yesterday, it would be better to leave early this morning, so they prepared to leave the town early and go to the county to meet up with their second brother.

Unexpectedly, I was stopped as soon as I walked onto the main road.

Several yamen runners were guarding the intersection leading from the town to the county seat, and they shouted at Tian Xing'er and the others, "Stop, you are outsiders, you are not allowed to leave now. Our county magistrate has ordered that all outsiders must stay and cooperate with our investigation until there is no problem."

"Sir, officer, has something happened? We are here to do business, and we have an appointment in the county today. Can you be flexible?" Jiang Dafu stepped forward and asked in a very familiar manner. He was familiar with this matter. As merchants, they were always being taken advantage of by officers, so he was considered to be very familiar with this kind of thing. As he spoke, he stuffed a tael of silver into the officer's pocket.

The yamen runner who had a fierce look on his face just now squeezed the silver in his hand, feeling very satisfied, and then he whispered to explain, "A murder occurred yesterday, but our masters just want to do routine work. If you have something to do, you can come back tomorrow."

"Okay, thank you, big brother. We'll come back tomorrow."

After Jiang Dafu dealt with these officials, he asked everyone to go back first and found an inn to stay in. Jiang Dafu didn't know what happened last night at first, but later he heard about it from other people, so he was well prepared for what happened today.

However, the inn where they stayed that night was far away from the crime scene, so they could not be implicated in any way.

When we entered the inn, we found that quite a few people had gathered here, but most of them were from other places, and some locals were also chatting together. From what they were saying, it seemed that they were all talking about the murder case last night.

After Tian Xing'er and her group settled down in the inn, they also came out, found a seat in the hall, and listened to the idle chatter around them.

"I didn't expect that a murder would happen in this small town. I just don't know who the person is who could be surrounded and killed." Jiang Dafu sighed after sitting down.

"I heard that it was a big master in this town, but this master usually lives in the county town. He came back to the town for a drink last night and was killed on the way home." Tian Zhenwei pretended to know nothing and told the story he had just heard from other tables. He would not tell what he saw yesterday.

"Was it an old-fashioned robbery or a premeditated murder?" Jiang Dafu asked with interest.

"From what the people at the nearby tables said, it seems like this was premeditated. They must have known that the master would pass by that night and were guarding him."

"Maybe I have offended someone?"

"Well," Tian Zhenwei suddenly lowered his voice, leaned forward to Jiang Dafu who was sitting opposite him, and whispered, "I heard that this man was very arrogant in the past. People in the county were afraid of him, and he killed many people, so there are many people who want him dead. I guess everyone in this town is very happy that he is dead. I just don't know how the county magistrate and others handled this matter."

After listening to Tian Zhenwei, Jiang Dafu couldn't help but feel a little worried. In this case, they just happened to come here yesterday, and the other party was killed last night. It's really uncertain. The county magistrate here wanted to close the case early. "Is that so? Don't let us outsiders take the blame. I think we should leave early tomorrow."

"Yes, Xing'er and I think so too. In fact, if we can leave, it's best to leave today and leave this troubled place as soon as possible."

Tian Xing'er heard this and also interrupted, "Originally I wanted to go back to the county to meet up with my second brother, but nowadays, it's better to leave early. We can leave first and wait in the neighboring county. Later, I will send someone to send a message to my second brother, telling him that we have gone ahead and he can come back to find us after he finishes his business."

"Good! This is the only way we can do it now. Otherwise, the local county magistrate may not be able to find us and instead hold us responsible." Tian Zhenwei echoed.

"Very good. As Miss Xing'er said, I will send someone to clear the road later. I expect we can leave the city tonight at the latest, but it may cost a lot of money." Jiang Dafu said.

"It's okay. I will pay for it. Mr. Jiang, please send someone to make sure we can get away tonight." Tian Xing'er responded readily.

"Okay! Leave this matter to me, there is no way I can fail." Master Jiang patted his chest and promised.

Therefore, the matter was discussed and decided in a low voice in the hall. It happened that they had just arrived at the inn and had not yet packed up their things. When they received the confirmed news that they could leave, they packed up their bags and left.
