Chapter 536

Hua Qingfeng was shocked for a long time before he accepted the fact that Qi Mu would beat the drum to complain about injustice!

Who was Qi Mu going to sue? Who was it that needed Qi Mu to complain to the yamen? Oh my God!

Hua Qingfeng was full of doubts but he did not dare to be negligent. He quickly dressed and ordered his men to enter the court.

Ye Xiaotian also felt strange when he heard this. Qi Mu beat the drum to complain about injustice? Could it be that this was some kind of method of advancing in order to retreat? Ye Xiaotian could not figure out the mystery and followed Hua Qingfeng to the main hall. It was not appropriate for him to be present when the County Magistrate entered the court, but it was not difficult for him to hide behind a pillar to listen to the trial. Naturally, no one would stop him as the county's Warden.

Qi Mu did not come, but his chief butler, Fan Lei, came.

Hua Yunfei's arrow was a close shave for Qi Mu. This kind of injury was naturally not a big deal. After removing the arrow and applying medicine, he would only be temporarily unable to speak and could only eat liquid food. As for the two ugly dimples that would be left on his cheeks in the future, Uncle Qi did not rely on his face to make a living, so he naturally did not care.

After dressing his wound, Qi Mu immediately gestured to his men angrily, ordering them to immediately conduct a citywide search to find the haunting Hua Yunfei. When his men left, Qi Mu suddenly thought of a way to turn Ye Xiaotian against him. "Didn't this madman say that he wants to uphold the dignity of the country's law? Then let him work for me!"

Qi Mu initially concealed the existence of Hua Yunfei because he wanted County Magistrate Meng to use this matter to impede Ye Xiaotian. Even if he could not bring him down, as long as he could temporarily suspend him, it would be good enough. Unexpectedly, County Magistrate Meng met Ye Xiaotian, who did not play by the rules. Not only did he not bring down Ye Xiaotian, but he also got himself into trouble.

Now, it was the perfect opportunity to use this matter to deal with Ye Xiaotian. Thinking about how Ye Xiaotian, who was determined to deal with him, had no choice but to lead a group of people to help him capture the murderer, Qi Mu felt a burst of pride in his heart. Thus, Fan Lei followed Master Qi's will and came to the County Government of Gourd County.

"Bang! Bang! Bang! Bang!

Bang! "With one hand behind his back, Fan Lei raised the drumstick in his other hand and hit the drum with all his might. After hitting the drum for a while, he threw the drumstick away and proudly walked into the main hall.

Hua Qingfeng came out from behind the screen in a fluster. He was wearing his official hat as he welcomed Fan Lei. Just as he was about to cup his hands, he suddenly realized that the person who came was not Qi Mu. He could not help but be startled.

Fan Lei said, "Magistrate, I want to lodge a complaint!"

Hua Qingfeng was stunned. "Didn't you say that Mr. Qi is here to lodge a complaint? Why … "

Fan Lei said slowly, "I am the housekeeper of the Qi Mansion. I am here to lodge a complaint on behalf of my master. Is that not allowed?"

"Ah! Yes, yes! "

Hua Qingfeng hurriedly walked to the back of the table and raised the gavel. Just as he was about to order the court to proceed, Fan Lei impatiently said, "Magistrate, please don't proceed to the court. I am here to lodge a complaint. The criminal needs to be caught by your government. Before the criminal is caught, what is there to interrogate?"

Hua Qingfeng embarrassedly put down the gavel and said, "So that's how it is. Then … Housekeeper, who do you want to lodge a complaint against? Please tell me in detail!"

Fan Lei coughed and said, "Magistrate, my master has found out that Xu Lin, Brother Xiang, and the others who died in the rain that day were killed by a youngster named Hua Yunfei!"

Hua Qingfeng let out an "ah" sound and said, "Is there such a thing? If that's the case, then my county's Ai Dian Shi can be absolved of suspicion. "

Fan Lei said, "This Hua Yunfei is a hunter from the Qingshan Ravine. He has a perverse temperament and a violent disposition. He once had a dispute with my Qi Residence because he was selling a tiger pelt. Later on, his parents passed away due to an accident. Thus, he vented his anger on my Qi Residence and killed Xu Lin, Brother Xiang, and the others to vent his anger. This Hua Yunfei didn't stop after killing several people. Today, he actually set up an ambush outside my Qi Residence and took advantage of my master's absence to assassinate him with a hunting bow … "

Hua Qingfeng was overjoyed when he heard this. He impatiently asked, "Is Qi Mu dead?"

"Uh … Is Mister Qi alright?" Seeing Fan Lei's strange expression, Hua Qingfeng suddenly felt that his attitude was a bit off. He hurriedly put on a concerned expression and asked.

Fan Lei said with a sullen face, "Thanks to the magistrate's inquiry, my master is safe and sound."

Hua Qingfeng's face fell and he said something insincere, "Ah! That's … for the best. Haha, the heavens help the worthy! "

Fan Lei heavily snorted and said, "This Hua Yunfei has repeatedly committed murder. He has disregarded the law and the imperial court. All the gentry in this county are in danger. My master hopes that Magistrate can immediately mobilize the county's patrol officers and citizens. Then, he can contact all the village chiefs and guardians to set up an inescapable net in the entire Gourd County to search for the murderer. This person is extremely dangerous and must not be treated lightly. "

Hua Qingfeng was used to practicing the 'Taiji Fist'. Moreover, in his heart, he couldn't wait for Qi Mu to die. Therefore, he wanted to use the same old trick and shirk the responsibility. Hua Qingfeng said, "Ah! That's natural. This county … this county's magistrate is in charge of a region, so he should ensure the safety of this region. This … this … this … this county, I will immediately send people to summon all the branch chiefs and assistant officials to discuss this … "

Fan Lei glared at him and sternly shouted, "This matter is as urgent as fire. Magistrate still wants to summon all the branch chiefs to discuss this matter? This is preposterous! "

Ye Xiaotian hid behind a pillar. There was a fence in front of him. In front of the fence was a 'silence' sign, so Fan Lei couldn't see him. Ye Xiaotian stood behind the pillar and heard that Hua Yunfei had assassinated Qi Mu. Moreover, Xu Lin, Brother Xiang, and the other local ruffians were also killed by Hua Yunfei. Ye Xiaotian couldn't help but be startled.

Although Ye Xiaotian had only met Hua Yunfei twice, he understood this youngster very well. Hua Yunfei was simple, innocent, pure, and hot-blooded. He had a youthful side to him. At the same time, because he was young, he was an outstanding hunter, and he had a quick-wittedness and cool-headedness that was difficult for adults to achieve. How could such a person be a perverse and ruthless murderer? What was the reason that made him go on a killing spree?

Ye Xiaotian's heart was filled with suspicion. After hearing Fan Lei question Hua Qingfeng, Ye Xiaotian immediately replied, "That's right! The situation is urgent. To prevent the murderer from killing again, we need to immediately mobilize the entire county's manpower and go all out to capture the murderer. "

Fan Lei suddenly turned to the side of the fence and shouted in a stern voice, "Who is it?"

Ye Xiaotian walked forward from behind the fence and walked around it to stand in front of Fan Lei. He smiled and said, "I am the county's Warden, the person responsible for arresting the murderer and the thief."

Fan Lei's eyes suddenly narrowed. He recognized Ye Xiaotian. Fan Lei coldly smiled and said, "Good! Warden's words, I, Fan Lei, will remember it! If the murderer is not arrested and brought to justice in time, he will commit another murder case. At that time, my Laoye, together with all the county's gentry, will impeach you to the Administrative Department and the Department of Investigation! "Finished speaking, Fan Lei flung his sleeve and left in a flash.

Ye Xiaotian sighed and said to Magistrate Hua, "Daren, look, a steward of the Qi family is so prestigious in our yamen. Those who know him are the stewards of a nouveau riche family, but those who don't know him would think that he is the Prime Minister's family."

Hearing his ridicule, Hua Qingfeng felt ashamed and blushed. He quickly looked away and said, "This Hua Yunfei is a hunter in the mountains. How could he have a grudge with a person like Qi Mu? I'm afraid there is something fishy about this. Do you really want to help Qi Mu arrest the murderer?"

Ye Xiaotian said seriously, "Magistrate, even if Qi Mu is guilty of a lot of crimes, he should be punished by the government. How can we let the people fight violence with violence? If everyone does this, the world will be in chaos. What will the court do then? Therefore, Qi Mu had to do something about it. He had to catch this kind of ruthless criminal who disregarded the law and acted recklessly!

However, since this Hua Yunfei is a hunter, he must be very good at hiding. If we want to catch him, we must mobilize the whole county. Magistrate, please give the order. I am duty-bound to immediately lead a team to search for the murderer. "

What Ye Xiaotian said was a lie. Fortunately, Hua Qingfeng didn't hear what Ye Tian said to County Magistrate Meng before that it was better for the people to fight violence with violence than to endure humiliation. Otherwise, no one knew what he would think.

Hua Qingfeng said in his heart, "He originally wanted to deal with Qi Mu. Why is he willing to help Qi Mu arrest the murderer now? He must have seen that I am not willing to stand up for him, so he is timid and doesn't dare to deal with Qi Mu, so he finds a way to step down. If that Hua Yunfei could really get rid of Qi Mu, it would naturally be a joyous occasion for everyone. If Ye Xiaotian can catch Hua Yunfei, I will be able to answer to Qi Mu, and we can also ease the relationship between us. "

Thinking of this, Hua Qingfeng said happily, "That makes sense! Since that's the case, I'll immediately sign an order for you to be in charge of capturing the murderer, Hua Yuntian. "

Unless Hua Qingfeng didn't do anything, when he really did something, he had a swift and decisive temperament. He wrote a "ticket" in the hall, stamped it and gave it to Ye Xiaotian.

Although Ye Xiaotian was the Warden in charge of arresting criminals and robbers, he could usually only mobilize the fast hands of the three groups of bailiffs, which were the constables.

Among the three groups of bailiffs, the guards were similar to the bailiffs, the constables were similar to the criminal police, and the civilian soldiers were similar to the armed police. Other people, such as prison guards, prison guards, and Kuding's servants, were collectively referred to as bailiffs. Except for the constables, Ye Xiaotian has no right to mobilize the other people. The last time he went to Wong Tai Sin Ridge to stop the duel between the two factions, it was also because of Magistrate Hua's appearance that he could mobilize nearly a hundred strong people. Now with this ticket, he can legitimately mobilize the whole strength of the three groups of bailiffs.

This "ticket" covers a wide range of contents. Because he needs to mobilize the whole county's strength to arrest the murderer, Ye Xiaotian can not only mobilize the three groups of bailiffs, but also can show the ticket when necessary and ask the local garrison, which is the inspection department, to cooperate with the arrest. At the same time, he can also use this ticket to give orders to the village chief, Bao Zheng, and the others.

Ye Xiaotian walked out of the lobby with his cards and tickets in his pocket. A smile unconsciously appeared on his face. No matter how hard he tried to persuade him, this useless person refused to stand up. Now, this chicken feather is just a chicken feather in the hands of Magistrate Hua, but in his hands, it is a command arrow!
