The coroner and the concubine doctor pursue the murderer in the Dali Temple

The man didn't look like a bad guy. He had a square face, handsome features, and looked quite dignified.

Seeing Chu Yunxi looking at him, he smiled and said, "You are brave and smart, and I see you are not short of money. Since we have met, it would be wrong not to pay. I will make the decision. Eighty thousand taels, we will go our separate ways. You can just consider it as paying for a lesson. We brothers have to raise children, which is not easy. Please be considerate."

It was the first time that Chu Yunxi saw someone talk about blackmail so naturally, and she admired him.

Xiao Mubei drank his tea without saying anything. Chu Zhongxi asked, "What if we say no?"

The man still looked unhurried, "Then I'm afraid it won't be that easy for you to leave Muyue Town."

The atmosphere suddenly became tense. The voices of soldiers could be heard from downstairs. The man smiled smugly and said, "I advise you to be sensible. After all, the people should not fight against the officials. I can see that you all have special skills, but in Muyue Town, you have to coil up even if you are a dragon, and lie down even if you are a tiger!"

His tone became sharp. Chu Yunxi estimated that if it was an ordinary person, he would probably be scared by him. She didn't expect that the man in front of her was actually colluding with the officers and soldiers. It seemed that there might be something going on in Mu Yue Town.

Xiao Mubei said calmly, "Could it be that the county government is run by your family?"

"The county government office is not owned by my family, but if you want to visit the county government office, it is very simple."

The man stared at Xiao Mubei closely. "You have two choices. Do you want to give me money, or do you want me to send soldiers up now? I'll give you an incense stick of time. I tell you, my patience is limited..."

"No need to choose, let the officers and soldiers come up." Xiao Mubei's tone remained indifferent.

The man was interrupted by Xiao Mubei before he could finish his words. Seeing Xiao Mubei's fearless look, he felt a little unsure and hesitated to make any move.

Wen Rulan stood aside with her hands folded. Seeing their hesitation, she couldn't help but add insult to injury, "Go and call them. Why don't you go?"

The man gritted his teeth and said, "Really not going to give me money?"

Chu Zhongxi shook his head, "No, go call the soldiers."

Seeing that they had no intention of paying, the men looked at each other, wondering if they had really run into a tough guy. How come they still didn't feel nervous after talking so much?

It seemed that there was no point not shouting, so the man winked at the woman's husband, and that man went downstairs, and soon came up with the soldiers.

"Sir, these are the people who stole my child. We caught them. Many people downstairs saw it just now and can testify."

A man who looked like a police chief came forward and asked, "Who among you stole the child?"

Xiao Mubei didn't even raise his eyelids, but just asked: "What's your official rank?"

The captain was stunned for a moment, then angrily said, "What does my rank have to do with you? You guys stole the child, the evidence is irrefutable, come, take them back and put them in jail."

Wen Rulan was surprised and asked, "Is this conclusive evidence? Where is the evidence?"

"What I say is true. If you have anything to say, go to the county government office and speak." The captain of the police was obviously very dissatisfied. No one dared to talk to him like this. If he didn't teach them a lesson, they would really think they were important.

Chu Yunxi seemed not to hear it, and said to Xiao Mubei: "Sir, he is just a small captain, I'm afraid he has no rank, and his boss is only a ninth rank."

Xiao Mubei nodded, "Yes, he should be tasteless."

The captain became angrier as he listened, "It is not your place to make irresponsible comments about my position. Come, take him away."

Several soldiers came up and tried to pull them away. Chu Zhongxi threw his sleeves in disdain and said, "Don't touch me. I will walk on my own."

Xiao Mubei stood up, patted his clothes, and took Chu Yunxi's hand, "Let's go to the county government office and have some fun."

Chu Yunxi took his hand and stood up, smiling, "Okay."

Wen Rulan also smiled and said, "I haven't been to the county government before. This time I've really broadened my horizons."

The three men said proudly, "You are still so arrogant. You will know what it means to be unable to live or die."

Xiao Mubei swept these people with a cold gaze. They felt a shock in their hearts, and the feeling of pride disappeared immediately. For some reason, they felt a little uneasy. But then they thought, the people should not fight against the officials. These people may be good at martial arts, but they are just from the escort agency after all. How can they challenge County Magistrate Wang?

Xiao Mubei said: "Since you are the victims, let's go to the county government office to reason together."

The three men and the woman also followed. Chu Yunxi noticed that the woman just held the child tightly but always stayed away from the man who was said to be her husband. She no longer had the aggressive attitude she had at the beginning and just followed silently.

The head constable took the men back to the county government office. A fat man weighing about 300 kilograms was sitting in the courtroom. The head constable stepped forward and said, "Your Excellency the county magistrate, the prisoner has been brought here."

County Magistrate Wang slammed the gavel and said, "You bold criminal, why don't you kneel before me?"

Wen Rulan smiled and said, "Because I'm afraid you'll shorten your life."

"You are so bold! Come here, take this man down first and give him fifty lashes."

The bailiff stepped forward and grabbed Wen Rulan's arm, but he did not resist and just looked at Xiao Mubei.

Xiao Mubei said calmly, "Wait a minute, County Magistrate, you are punishing people before the trial. Isn't this against the law?"

"This man spoke rudely, and beating him is not a light punishment for me. Let's talk about the law. In Muyue Town, I am the law." County Magistrate Wang was full of energy.

The bailiff pulled Wen Rulan and was about to push her down. Xiao Mubei said, "Stop it, Magistrate Wang. You disregard the law and resort to private punishment. Aren't you afraid that the higher-ups will investigate and take away your official hat?"

"The higher-ups? This is just a small town, far from the capital, and the people live and work in peace and contentment. Why would the higher-ups come here? Don't count on luck. If you give the money earlier, you can set off earlier and suffer less, isn't that right?"

Although County Magistrate Wang was fat, he was quite eloquent and had a lot of ways of persuading people. Perhaps it was because everyone here was his, so he spoke without any scruples. Xiao Mubei and Chu Yunxi quickly confirmed that County Magistrate Wang was also a part of this extortion scheme, and the most important one.

Xiao Mubei asked: "What's your name?"

County Magistrate Wang was stunned. The head constable said, "How dare you! Are you guys qualified to know the name of the County Magistrate?"

Chu Yunxi was almost laughed at by these people. It was so obvious, but they still couldn't tell that the person in front of them was not ordinary. She really didn't know how he had plundered the people's wealth in the past.
