Ye Xiaotian was stunned and said, "Can't arrest him? A local ruffian killed someone, and you say we can't arrest him? "
Class monitor Zhou said in a low voice, "Your Excellency, this Xu Lin was originally just a ruffian in the streets. Of course we can arrest him, but he recently joined Master Qi's side and suddenly became arrogant. He is Master Qi's man, so we have to be careful. "
Ye Xiaotian frowned and said, "Master Qi? Which Master Qi? Ah! You mean Qi Mu? "
Class monitor Zhou nodded and said, "Yes! It's Qi Mu, Master Qi. Your Excellency, Master Qi is our Gourd County's real master, the number one person in the master generation. We can't afford to offend him. "
Ye Xiaotian looked at him coldly and said with a sneer, "Master Qi is a master, so if his dog killed someone, we, who work for the government, also have to treat his dog like a master?"
Class monitor Zhou's old face turned red and he stammered, "Your Excellency, isn't there an old saying that when you beat a dog, you have to look at its master! Xu Lin is a vicious dog, but his master is … "
Ye Xiaotian couldn't help but sneer, "Ever since I came to Gourd County, I've heard people talk about Qi Mu, but I really don't understand why even the government is afraid of him. Logically speaking, there are some local gentry that the government is afraid of, but the premise is that they don't break the law!
Now, Xu Lin has killed someone, and he's just a small character under Qi Mu. It's very likely that Qi Mu doesn't even know that he has such a person under him. You're all being paid by the Imperial Court, yet you're treating human life like a game? "
Class monitor Zhou smiled bitterly and said, "Your Excellency, County Magistrate Meng and Master Qi are brothers, and their relationship is very close. County Magistrate Meng is your immediate superior. If we want to touch Master Qi's man, shouldn't we … first greet County Magistrate Meng?"
"There's no need!"
Ye Xiaotian was enraged and said in a serious tone, "This is a murder case, not an ordinary fight! A human life is at stake. Even if we inform the County Magistrate Meng, would he dare to let us ignore a murder case? Class Monitor Zhou, you've been going in and out of the county government all the time. Have you seen that ring stone? "
Squad Leader Zhou said, "I've seen …"
Ye Xiaotian asked, "Can you read?"
Squad Leader Zhou: "I …"
Ye Xiaotian said, "If you don't recognize it, I can tell you. The words written on the Ring Stone are: 'Your salary, your salary, the flesh and blood of the people. The people are easy to bully, but the heavens are hard to bully! "
Zhou Siyu lowered his head and said in a low voice, "Milord …"
Ye Xiaotian said, "Since you still call me Lord, then you should immediately obey my orders! If anything goes wrong, I'll take full responsibility! "
"This … This humble servant understands!"
Ye Xiaotian looked at the bailiffs who were snickering. "Isn't it funny? Look at your cowardly faces. As bailiffs, even if you bully the people and bully the villagers, it would still be better than this! Don't you have any shame? People treat you like a grandson, and you're used to treating yourself like a grandson. What a bunch of grandsons! "
The constables stopped laughing. Their faces turned red and green after being scolded by him. After a while, a constable named Ma Hui said angrily, "Sir, you've just arrived at Gourd County. You don't know who Master Qi is. He …"
Ye Xiaotian shouted, "What Master Qi? Isn't he just a merchant who came from a military family and is now a horse trader? Patrol Inspector Luo and I are brothers. Why does Qi Mu have to act like a master in front of me? Grandpa, grandpa, you really have the life of a filial son! "
Ma Hui's face was red, and the veins on his forehead were bulging. He gritted his teeth and said, "Fine! Milord, as long as you give the order, I'll go and arrest them! But … if you offend Qi Mu … "
Ye Xiaotian said, "Even if the sky falls, I, the Warden, will be there to support it. As long as I'm still standing, it won't hit your head!"
Ma Hui nodded his head and gripped the hilt of his knife tightly. He said to Zhou Siyu with a red face, "Captain Zhou, I'll go with you!"
Ye Xiaotian pointed at the other bailiffs and said, "Don't think that you can be cowards just because you're quiet. All of you listen to Squad Leader Zhou's orders! I'm going to see the county magistrate now. I want to see you bring Xu Lin to me later! "
The bailiffs had a bitter look on their faces, but Squad Leader Zhou was honest and did not dare to disobey his orders. Ma Hui and Ai Dian Shi were angry, so they did not dare to say anything. They could only follow the two and bite the bullet to arrest Xu Lin.
Ye Xiaotian then said to Gu Yue, "All of you, stop crying. Carry the corpse and wait outside the main hall. I'm going to see the county magistrate now. I'll report this matter to the county magistrate. When Xu Lin is arrested, justice will be served to all of you! "
The Guo family was moved to tears and kowtowed to Ye Xiaotian. Ye Xiaotian looked at the bloody corpse on the door and did not want to take a closer look. He sighed and signaled the bailiffs to bring the Guo family to the main hall. He straightened his clothes and walked to the second hall.
Ye Xiaotian thought to himself as he walked, "This Hulu County is really deaf. It's just a decoration. I really don't understand why the imperial court still set up a yamen like this. Are they using it as a joke? You people made me an unwilling Warden, but you have caused me a lot of trouble. Now I'm going to cause some trouble. Let's have a taste! "
When Ye Xiaotian entered the second hall, he saw Su Xuntian sitting there listlessly. Magistrate Hua had his hands behind his back and was frowning as he paced back and forth in the hall. There was also a woman beside Su Xuntian who was bending over and asking him something. Ye Xiaotian took a quick glance and felt that the woman was very attractive. When he looked again, he recognized her. When he went to see Shuiwu, he saw her from afar. She was the county magistrate's wife, Su Ya.
Ye Xiaotian walked into the hall and cupped his hands, "Greetings to the county magistrate."
Magistrate Hua had not introduced his wife yet, so Ye Xiaotian could only pretend that he did not know her identity. When Su Ya heard the voice, she looked back. Her face was like a flower, and her eyes were charming. The gentle and elegant temperament of a lady from a wealthy family in Jiangnan was truly stunning.
Seeing that there was an outsider, Su Ya did not say much. She only nodded to her husband and whispered a few words to her brother. Then she retreated behind the screen. If Ye Xiaotian was the real Warden, Magistrate Hua would certainly introduce his wife to him. But for this scapegoat that he planned to kill within a month, Magistrate Hua was not in the mood. He coughed and said to Ye Xiaotian, "Ai Dian Shi, a few strange things happened in the county today …"
Su Xuntian laughed, "Hahaha … Ha … Hahaha …"
Ye Xiaotian was speechless.
Hua Qingfeng spread his hands and said to Ye Xiaotian, "Do you know why he laughed for no reason? Alas! This is the strange thing I want to talk about. Today, a lot of sudden laughter happened in the county for no reason. They will laugh for no reason, and once they laugh, they can't be stopped. Xuntian also got this strange disease, and the doctor couldn't find the reason … "
Ye Xiaotian laughed, "Hahaha …"
Hua Qingfeng's face darkened and said, "Is what I said funny?"
Ye Xiaotian hurriedly waved his hands and laughed, "It's not funny, hahaha, I also got this disease, hahaha …"
Hua Qingfeng's eyes widened in shock. Su Xuntian, who was laughing weakly, hurriedly raised his head and looked at Ye Xiaotian, "Ai Dian Shi, you also got this disease? Hahaha … "
Ye Xiaotian's laughing disease acted up again. He laughed as he spoke, and finally explained what happened. When Su Xuntian heard that he was the unlucky fish in the pond, implicated by Ye Xiaotian and poisoned by Miss Zhan, he couldn't help but grumble, "Warden, you can't cheat people like this, hahaha, who did I offend?"
When Hua Qingfeng heard that it was the eldest daughter of Shui Xi Zhan again, he instantly sucked in a breath of cold air. After a while, he braced himself and said, "Xuntian was only implicated for no reason. This official will try to bring him to plead for mercy, and maybe Miss Zhan will be magnanimous …"
Ye Xiaotian smiled bitterly, "It's useless, she …"
Speaking up to this point, Ye Xiaotian's heart suddenly moved. He thought to himself, although this Miss Zhan is a bit overbearing, her nature is actually not bad. Last time at "Toad Palace Garden", when she heard how pitiful I was, she immediately gave up the previous enmity and even gave me money.
After that, when she intercepted me on the street, wasn't she also very polite to that blind man who walked out of the alley? Since she isn't someone who bullies the weak, would she really use such vicious methods on me? Why don't we call Magistrate Hua to try our luck? If there really is a cure, then Miss Zhan is purposely scaring me.
Thinking up to this point, Ye Xiaotian said, "If it's just laughing for a day, there's no harm. But if he goes crazy from time to time, then that would really be fatal. Hahaha … Why don't Lord bring Xuntian to try our luck? If Miss Zhan is willing to cure him, then in the future when Miss Zhan's anger has cooled down a bit, I can also go and plead for mercy."
Hua Qingfeng nodded and said, "That's right, what you said makes a lot of sense. The reason I called you here is to discuss this matter. I originally thought that some strange plague had occurred in this county, but since it's a parasite, then it's up to the person who started it. Men, support Xuntian, let's go! "
Ye Xiaotian was interrupted by this matter, and in addition to his sudden hysterical laughter, he actually forgot what he wanted to say. When Hua Qingfeng left with Su Xuntian, Ye Xiaotian finally remembered that there was still a group of plaintiffs in the main hall. On second thought, since the culprit hadn't been caught yet, there was no harm in waiting a little longer. Ye Xiaotian then sent someone to inform the Guo family outside the main hall, asking them to wait for the time being and not be impatient.
Back to Chief Zhou, Ma Hui and his men hurriedly rushed to Xu Lin's house. The county wasn't big, and these constables knew everything about the small town like the back of their hands. They didn't need to ask for directions and quickly arrived at the Xu Family's house. However, they didn't expect that when they asked at the Xu Family's house, Xu Lin actually wasn't there. After beating Guo Lifeng up with his group of brothers, they left drunk.
Chief Zhou was indeed honest. Although he was very afraid of the arrogant Master Qi, Ye Xiaotian had already given the order, so he didn't dare to disobey. Moreover, Ye Xiaotian patted his chest and said that if anything happened, he would be responsible for it. Chief Zhou thought that he was just an errand boy. Even if Master Qi was dissatisfied, he wouldn't care about a small fry like him, so he didn't want to deal with him carelessly, lest he would be punished by the Warden.
Chief Zhou tried to persuade Xu Lin's sister, Xu Xiaoyu, "Miss Xiaoyu, your brother committed a murder case, and he can't escape. If you keep covering up for him, it'll be hard for you to escape punishment. You'd better tell us where he went, and whether it's right or wrong, the old master will decide. "
Xu Xiaoyu was carrying a basin and was about to wash clothes. When she heard Chief Zhou's words, she smashed the wooden basin on the ground and cursed, "F * ck your mother, do you have donkey hair in your ears? Don't you understand human language? I've already said that I don't know where he went, and you're still nagging. Are you done? "
Ma Hui stood to the side with his arms crossed and sneered. He was here, but he didn't plan to help. He knew very well what the Xu family was like, not to mention that there was a big shot like Master Qi behind them. Ai Dian Shi didn't know his limits, and he actually dared to touch Master Qi's tiger whiskers. He was now waiting to see Ai Dian Shi make a fool of himself.
Chief Zhou's face turned red from being scolded by the little girl, and he said embarrassedly, "Miss Xiaoyu, we can talk things out, don't scold my mother …"
Xu Xiaoyu jumped and cursed, "F * ck your mother, f * ck your mother, f * ck your mother! What can you do? "
Chief Zhou said angrily, "Your brother committed a murder case!"
Xu Xiaoyu scolded, "So what if he committed a murder case? Fatty Guo and his family deserved to die! F * ck your mother, if you have the ability, go and find my brother yourself. Go, go to Master Qi's house and find him. If you have the guts, I'll f * ck your mother! "
The veins on Chief Zhou's forehead bulged. His nostrils flared, and he panted heavily as he roared, "I already told you not to scold my mother. You're a girl, how can your mouth be so dirty!"
Xu Xiaoyu scolded arrogantly, "When did I ever get the chance to be lectured by an old coffin? F * ck your mother, f * ck your mother, f * ck your mother, f * ck your mother to death, what can you do to me? "
Chief Zhou was an honest man, but when an honest man got angry, no one would be afraid of him. Chief Zhou flew into a rage and jumped up, cursing, "I … I'll f * ck your mother and son!"
Xu Xiaoyu was stunned. "How dare you scold me?"
Xu Xiaoyu suddenly reacted and flew into a rage. She stretched out her fingers and scratched at Chief Zhou's face. "F * ck your mother!"
Chief Zhou roared, "I'll f * ck your mother and son!"
The two of them cursed at each other as they fought.
Ma Hui and the other constables were all stunned by the scene.
