Chapter 704 I Saw the Murderer

Ye Wenyan was stunned. What kind of values are these? The theory of victim blaming?

So the whole family was killed, and in the eyes of the county magistrate, it was considered a good thing?

The Chiang family violated the law and murdered the unborn baby, angering two elderly people to death, yet they became good people who eliminated harm for the people?

What kind of bullshit idea is this? What kind of bullshit county magistrate is this? How did such a person become a senior official? Did he become bad halfway through and was corrupted by the Jiang family, or is this just his nature? Did the late emperor not choose the right person?

Seeing the little girl beside him staring with eyes wide open and a look of shock, Shi Liyuan comforted her and said, "There are so many things like this in the world, and they happen in every dynasty. There is nothing to be shocked about. If you don't believe me, think about it carefully. Did this happen in your era?"

Ye Wenyan thought about what he said, and it was true. That's it, it seems that this is human nature, she has scolded and been angry, but she can't change anything by herself. Shi Liyuan is right, she is just a little girl, and little girls can't do anything big in this era.

"Tell me, what should we do?" The county magistrate spoke again, asking the lawyer beside him, "Don't just stand there, give me some advice. You were also involved in this case, and you took a lot of money from the Jiang family. Now that the truth has been revealed, don't pretend to be ignorant. Tell me, let's not talk about the Jiang family, let's talk about how we can save our lives. Humph! If we keep killing like this, they will come to the county government in two days, and we won't be able to save our heads for a few more days."

The lawyer sighed, looking helpless, "Sir, I really have no idea. There are only two ways to deal with this kind of thing. One is to kneel down and kowtow, admitting that we made a mistake, and begging the other party to forgive us. The second is to use money, using a lot of money to make him give up revenge, take the money and run away. But these two methods have to be done in person, but the man has never shown up, and we don't even have a chance to have a good talk with him!"

The county magistrate slapped his forehead and started crying again. The lawyer watched him cry for a while and then wiped his own face.

"Although I am not old, I still have children to take care of. I don't want to leave my wife and children behind and die like this, but we can't prevent this kind of thing. That person has already killed several officials who were handling the case in the county government. Your Excellency is right, it will be our turn sooner or later. The Jiang family really killed us. Their son caused trouble, but we have to bear the responsibility. The Jiang family should show some expression at this time."

"The Jiang family?" The county magistrate listened to the master's words and nodded, "Yes, the Jiang family should have expressed their opinions. At least they should compensate us with money. Tomorrow, at dawn, you should go to the Jiang Mansion in person and tell the Jiang family about this matter. Damn it, even if I die, I have to leave my millions of dollars to my children." He paused here and suddenly thought of an idea. So he asked the master again - "What do you think, if we go to court again and overturn the case of that year, will that person forgive us?" The master was stunned, "You mean, to overturn the case for that family? That will offend the Jiang family!"

"What's wrong with offending the Jiang family?" The short winter melon finally sat up straight. "Don't think that outsiders don't know unless they tell us. The reason why the Jiang family is in power is because their daughter who was married off became the old lady of a first-rank general's mansion. But now that old lady is back, the Jiang family said to the outside world that she came back to visit her relatives, but our government is not a pushover and has already secretly investigated. Guess what? She wasn't visiting her relatives at all, but was divorced by the Ye family! It is said that the fourth daughter of the Ye family was treated harshly, but now that the fourth daughter has become the future empress, she took revenge and divorced her and sent her back to her parents' home. So the Jiang family has no backers now. Not only do they have no backers, they also have enemies."

The county magistrate became more and more excited as he spoke, "The Empress Divorced the Old Lady, which means that they have completely torn their relationship with the Jiang family. The Empress Divorced the Jiang family, so what else should we care about? Reopening the case and rehabilitating that family will not only save our lives, but also make us look good in front of the Empress Divorced. Why not do it?" After hearing this, the lawyer also thought it was a good idea, and he also felt that their county magistrate's mind had never been so clear in the past few decades. The county magistrate was finally willing to use his brain to analyze the problem, which was a good thing.

So the lawyer nodded and said, "Then I won't go to the Jiang family to ask for money tomorrow. Let's go straight to the court to overturn the case. The sooner the case is overturned, the sooner we can sell that person's favor. Saving our lives is the most important thing."

The county magistrate nodded and said, "Okay, let's do it."

After the matter was settled, the county magistrate was obviously in a better mood. He stopped crying and even walked out of the hall humming a little tune.

Who would have thought that just as he stepped over the threshold of the lobby and was still humming the tune, it suddenly stopped.

Blood spurted out and spilled all over the ground.

Everyone screamed in shock. The lawyer stopped immediately, sat down on the ground with a plop, and never dared to go out again.

The county magistrate's head rolled several times on the ground and rolled to the edge of the door. His eyes were facing the lawyer. The lawyer understood immediately and kowtowed to the outside, saying loudly: "Don't kill me, don't kill me, this is all a misunderstanding. I am the lawyer of Xiushan County. I was just discussing with the county magistrate about retrial of the case ten years ago. The Liu family was indeed wronged ten years ago. It was the Jiang family who bribed too many people to come to the county government to give false testimony, which led to the unjust case. I discussed with the county magistrate to hold a retrial tomorrow to overturn the case for the Liu family, so you killed them too early! But it doesn't matter, the county magistrate is dead and I am still here. I can also go to court and overturn the case for your family. Please don't kill me, if you kill me, the Liu family's case can't be overturned!" When he said this, he kowtowed again, and each time he kowtowed hard, his forehead was bleeding.

I don't know how many times he kowtowed, but he stopped kowtowing. He was still bent over, but his head fell off his neck just like the county magistrate's. It also fell over the threshold and lay side by side with the county magistrate's head.

The officials in the yamen were so scared that they ran away with their heads in their hands. Soon, they all disappeared. The person hiding in the dark did not chase them. Instead, he appeared and stood beside the two heads and watched. After watching for a while, he said, "What's the point of overturning the verdict? All the people are dead. Do I still care whether you overturn the verdict or not? I don't care what others say about what happened back then, and I don't care how you sentence me. Killing someone means paying with your life. Your life is better than anything else. It's been ten years. It's too late to overturn the verdict now."

After saying these words, the man took a step forward, grabbed the head and two bodies on the ground, turned around and left, his body movements were so fast that he disappeared in the blink of an eye. This series of actions also made Ye Wenyan stunned, and he said to Shi Liyuan at the time: "He is really a martial arts master, but with such skills, why didn't he just take revenge ten years ago?"

Shi Liyuan said: "That means he acquired this skill in the past ten years. He couldn't have taken revenge ten years ago."

"No!" Ye Wenyan shook his head and pulled Shi Liyuan to chase the man.

Although such fast movement is rare in the world, she is the head of Xuanmai family and she has such movement herself, so it is not surprising.

Besides, living in Lin'an City in this life, whether it is Quan Qinghua or her second brother Ye Feizhou, their body movements are much faster than this person. Maybe this person can create such an impact in Xiushan County, but if the incident happened in Lin'an City, I'm afraid it will be discovered soon.

"Martial arts are things that are acquired through childhood, especially internal strength. One must start practicing from childhood to get a glimpse of superior martial arts. I see that his lightness skills and the way he killed the county magistrate and his master are definitely not ordinary. And he is already thirty-five or thirty-six years old. How could he have mastered such good martial arts in just ten years? This is unreasonable!"

Shi Liyuan followed her line of thought and analyzed it, and he also felt that it made sense. "So what you mean is..."

"Maybe he had some adventure! Other than an adventure, I can't explain the source of his Kung Fu."

As the two were talking, they saw the person in front of them turn a corner, then climb over the wall and enter a small house.

The two of them immediately followed, passed through the wall, and soon stood in the yard of the small house with the man.

Then, Shi Liyuan was heard to say "Huh", and his eyes went straight to a corner of the yard.

Ye Wenyan also went to see. The man surnamed Liu walked over directly, then squatted in the corner, pointed at the body that had just been thrown on the ground and said, "I killed the county magistrate and the master, and now it's the Jiang family's turn. I didn't intend to come back directly. I can pick up the bodies when it's almost dawn. Tonight's goal is to kill Jiang Shuo, who gave Jiang Hang advice and framed my family. Why did you suddenly call me back?"

As he asked the question, an old voice soon came out - "You are being targeted, I am saving your life."

"Being targeted? How is that possible?" The man was obviously very surprised. "Didn't you say that with your skills, no mortal could find me? And even if I'm in danger, as long as I don't leave Xiushan County, you can keep me safe!"

The old voice said, "It was indeed like that in the past, but that was in the past. I didn't expect those two to come."

"Who? Who's coming?" The man was a little anxious. "Please explain clearly. Who are those two people referring to?" The old voice did not answer him, but just called out in a depressed tone, and then continued: "I didn't do anything evil, and I didn't help bad people. He didn't kill innocent people. Do you think it's worth it for you to chase him all the way from Lin'an to Xiushan County? And he brought his wife with him. You two are really amazing. If I didn't have a little self-knowledge, I would almost think that I was a divine turtle in the sky that turned into a human form. This is worthy of being chased by you two!"

The man surnamed Liu stood up with a vigilant look on his face and moved to the side. Only then did Ye Wenyan see what was in the corner. It turned out to be an extremely huge old turtle, the same height as the squatting man surnamed Liu, squatting there like a big vat.

Is this... a spiritual beast?
