The Daily Life of a Rich Peasant's Boy in the Imperial Examination

The case of the serial killer has come to an end for the time being. After all, information has been passed back and forth between provinces, prefectures, and counties, and it will take at least a year or two to solve the case.

It will probably take until the end of the year to officially close the case.

We cannot blame Magistrate Liu for being slow in closing the case. This time, different places were involved, especially across administrative regions. Closing the case was as easy as an ant chewing an elephant or a small knife sawing down a big tree.

Moreover, there may be cases within cases involved, or various interest groups may be entangled with each other.

Even if the three murderers have no backers, some officials may try to do something with this incident.

Many cases in history were originally very clear, but when human rights were involved, they often became increasingly complicated.

It's not that Sun Shan thinks too much, but there are too many cases like this, such as the Ayun case, the Kongyin case, and the Gansu rice case.

Sun Shan glanced with admiration at County Magistrate Wang, who was sitting idle in the yard.

That’s right, break the thief’s legs first, so that even if something unexpected happens in the future, he won’t be able to harm others again.

After sending Captain Zhu away, life in the county government returned to normal. Everyone continued to do what they were supposed to do, and those who were not supposed to do would not do what they were supposed to do.

When Sun Shan returned to the backyard after his shift, Steward Wang came over and reported, "Master, Master Ma, Master Zhu, Master Zeng wants to see you."

Sun Shan raised his eyebrows. What did the three sworn brothers from Peach Garden want from him? Could it be about selling guano on their behalf again?

Steward Wang continued, "The three masters came here to thank you. Thanks to your wisdom, they are now safe and sound."

After hearing this, Sun Shan understood immediately.

It seems that the news that the three thieves turned from human traffickers to home robbers has spread.

Emma, ​​the people are really well-informed. As soon as someone from Chenzhou Prefecture comes over, they know what's going on.

As for who spread the news, it was probably the post station or the government office.

Sun Shan recruited three wealthy businessmen.

The three wealthy businessmen have always been conspicuous and brought a lot of gifts this time.

A few words of thanks with nothing in hand are not enough to express gratitude. Only a sincere gift can express the gratitude from the heart.

The wealthy businessman Ma stepped forward, bowed, his eyes cloudy and red as he said, "My lord, my lord, thanks to you, my life can be saved, no, my family's life can be saved.

My Lord, my Lord, if it weren't for you, I would have died long ago. My Lord, my Lord, you are my second parent. I wish I could erect a longevity tablet for you and worship you at home all day long."

After the eldest brother, Ma Fushang, finished speaking, the second brother, Zhu Fushang, stepped forward and said, "Sir, I don't know what to say. If it weren't for you, I would have gone to see the King of Hell long ago.

"I'll see Yama, and I'll see Yama. My age is what I'm afraid of, but the thought of my newborn grandson going to see Yama is more painful than sending me to hell. My Lord, thanks to you, my whole family escaped."

This newly born little grandson, I don’t know whether he married the daughter of the Ma family or the daughter of the Zeng family. He just turned one month old last month.

Don’t ask why Sun Shan knew so much, it’s just because the rich businessman Zhu sent him a wedding invitation.

Of course Sun Shan wouldn't go.

After the second brother Zhu Fushang finished speaking, he turned to the third brother Zeng Fushang and said, "My lord, when I heard that the traffickers on the Lantern Festival were not traffickers, but murderers, and they were murderers who were on the run and committed crimes, my heart started pounding.

When I heard the rumors that I was the target of three thieves, my heart was frozen and I was terrified. My Lord, my good Lord, my good parents, it is thanks to you that I am safe and sound and my family is living well.

The three wealthy businessmen expressed their gratitude to Sun Shan with tears in their eyes.

The conversation was like singing an opera, one after another, non-stop in his ear, making Sun Shan dizzy and rolling his eyes.

Sun Shan stroked his forehead and said helplessly, "Alright, stop talking. Although you are the thieves' target, you are fine now. Don't get so excited."

Ma the wealthy businessman immediately jumped out, clutching his chest, and said excitedly, "Sir, how can I not be excited? I heard that the three thieves were quick, ruthless, and accurate, killing many people with one blow. From the 80-year-old man to the cradle, no one was spared.

If I had encountered such a vicious killer, I would have been killed. My Lord, I still feel a lingering fear when I think about it now.

Emma, ​​the wealthy businessman Ma was absolutely certain that he was more worthy of robbery than his second and third brothers.

To be the boss, he must be the strongest among the three and have the most gold in his slush fund.

If there are three thieves committing a crime, the probability that one of them will be his home is as high as 99%.

After hearing the news, the wealthy businessman Ma stopped doing business and immediately called his second and third brothers to the yamen to ask Lord Sun for confirmation.

What Sun Shan said just now has confirmed that this is true.

Mr. Ma was so frightened that his face turned pale. Fortunately, he had a good mental state and did not suffer a heart attack and faint.

Mr. Zhu's chubby little hands wanted to hold Sun Shan tightly, trying to use the righteousness of the county magistrate to drive away the coldness in his heart.

He said with lingering fear: "Yes, sir, if it weren't for you, how could we live well. Sir, outsiders say that County Magistrate Wang is also one of the targets, but the thieves dare not commit crimes because of his large family. Sir, my family is small, and I must have been targeted by the thieves."

After finally having a good grandson to fill the Zhu family's popularity, he actually told him that there was a serial killer and his family was one of the targets.

Thinking of this, if I don’t get positive energy from Sun Shan, I will definitely not be able to sleep tonight.

With tears in his eyes, the wealthy businessman said, "Sir, these three thieves are too cruel. How could they kill so many people? Go kill them. Go kill the corrupt officials. Their families are richer."

They bully the weak and fear the strong. They don't even take action against corrupt officials just because they have large families. Instead, they choose to kill unarmed people like us. My lord, is there any justice in this world?

Even murderers pick on the weak. God is so unfair. Fortunately, we have a wise and insightful master here, otherwise our family would be in danger."

The wealthy businessmen began to cry again and pestered Sun Shan endlessly, trying to treat him as a bodhisattva who could save them from suffering. Little by little, they leaned towards him.

Sun Shan was really annoyed by the harassment and gave Gui Ge'er a look.

Gui Ge'er understood immediately, stepped forward, and with a flick of his hands, threw the three wealthy businessmen two meters away.

If it weren't for the generous gift, Brother Shan would have ignored them.

Fortunately, the three wealthy businessmen were heavy and had steady feet, so they did not fall to the ground. Liu stared at Gui Ge'er with his eyes dimly.

They just wanted to absorb some good luck from Lord Sun to save their own family from bad luck.

Who can blame Lord Sun for being so lucky? He killed the bandits as soon as he arrived, then he found bird droppings, and now he has captured the criminals.

Mr. Wang was able to pass the examination and become a scholar because he absorbed the essence of Mr. Sun.
