Chapter 18
"What? Wen is alive and dead!" Qiao County Magistrate Liu Quan said angrily, his face extremely ferocious! He has always appeared in front of everyone as a greedy and lustful image, but now he appears in the secret room with an extremely furious face!
Liu Quan roared loudly, "How can Wensheng die? How can Wensheng die? Last month, our families just raised a large sum of money and handed it over to him. Didn't he guarantee that he could transport salt to us this month? If he dies, who should we ask for salt? Who should we ask for money?! Who have you seen Wensheng's body? Is it really him who died? Don't this kid is greedy for this money and pretend to die to swallow it!"
In the secret room, the county magistrate Yuan Ping whispered: "I have seen it with my own eyes that the corpse is Wen Sheng himself! Moreover, if Wen Sheng pretended to escape, he would never give up the property in and outside the city according to his nature as a slave in the wealthy city! According to the coroner's report, Wen Sheng was first pierced by someone's lower abdomen and then his throat was sealed with one sword! The man who killed Wen Sheng was very cold-blooded and had definitely received special training, otherwise he would not be so clean and neat! Judging from the part where Wen Sheng was injured first and the height of the person who left the words on the wall at the scene, that person should be a dwarf!"
"Dwarf? Can't it be a child?" Liu Quan frowned and asked in a low voice: "Someone said that he had seen Wen Sheng follow a little girl into the alley. Did that girl do it?"
"It's impossible!" Yuan Ping shook his head repeatedly: "The little girl is not as cold-blooded as this. According to the coroner's speculation, the murderer pierced Wen Sheng's lower abdomen and stirred it several times until he broke Wen Sheng's intestines, and then he pulled out the dagger! Moreover, the murderer dipped his blood and left the words. How could this be something the little girl could do?"
Liu Quan clenched his fists tightly and smashed it hard on the wall: "Send the order to search the whole city to see if there are any dwarfs infiltrate our Qiao County recently! In addition, the little girl who seduces Wensheng may also know some situations. Send people to learn more about the situation and strive for it - no, you must find her and learn about the situation from her mouth, regardless of whether she lives or not! In addition, search the residences inside and outside Wensheng City to see if he has hidden salt there! Time is tight now, I will only give you three days. If you can't find it out in three days, everyone will hang them all!"
Yuan Ping and others hurriedly bowed to the order. Everyone knew in their hearts that although Wen Sheng was just a private salt dealer, there was a complex force behind him. Moreover, the merchants who traded with Wen Sheng had great hidden strength. Even Liu Quan was just a small piece they launched. Once they got angry, they could be ruined at will, let alone small people like them.
That night, the four gates of Qiao County were closed, and Yuan Ping sent everyone in his hands to search for clues from house to house. Several unlucky dwarfs were quickly taken to prison. Unknowingly, they could not explain any confession at all, and were beaten to death by the jailer with a whip!
Soon, the clothes Lingshan was wearing were also recalled by passers-by, but because of the distance, her appearance was unknown. The wanted documents full of Lingshan's figure and the characteristics of the clothes were quickly made, and then they were distributed to various court officials by the yamen runners, asking them to find the little girl based on this book.
Soon, Li Zheng took the portrait and came to the inn where Lingyue and the others lived, asking to see Lin Le, the inn who was in the openly in charge of the inn. Lin Le quickly welcomed out of the inn and said with a smile: "Uncle Su, just ask someone to call me if you have something to do, why do you have a trip in person?"
While talking, Lin Le came to support Su Lizheng.
Suri was smiling and said, "Lin Le, I like you, I am informed and reasonable. Every time I come to you, it makes people feel so comfortable. I know you have a lot of things and don't talk nonsense. This is a new wanted order issued by the government. The whole city will arrest a dwarf and a little girl in purple. You can see the specific situation yourself. I heard that they were the two of them who conspired to kill the rich man Wensheng!"
"Wen is alive and dead?" Lin Le asked in disbelief, very surprised.
"Yes, I'm dead! I don't know which hero is for our Qiao County, except for such a bully, but the state has its own national laws, so killing people will pay for their lives!" Suli said regretfully: "Now the county magistrate and the county magistrate jointly issued a document to arrest the murderer throughout the county. If you know some clues, hurry up and report to the county government, and there is a reward of ten gold!"
Lin Le agreed with a smile, and took the wanted document. When he saw it, he was stunned. Isn’t the little girl painted on it exactly like Ziying? Fortunately, Lin Le was very calm after a lot of wind and rain. He smiled and greeted Suli Zheng for a few words before he got up to see him off. Before leaving, he even gave Suli Zheng a bunch of small money, which was considered as tea money.
Seeing Suli leaving with satisfaction, Lin Le frowned and ran upstairs, just in time to collide with Ling Yue who was rushing downstairs.
Ling Yue blushed, gently tidied her clothes, and asked in surprise: "Junior Brother Lin, why are you anxious?"
Lin Le handed the wanted document to her and whispered: "Senior Sister, Ziying is in trouble, look!"
Ling Yue glanced a few times quickly and sighed helplessly: "I knew it would be like this. At that time, Ziying was knocked unconscious by Lingshan and locked up in the room by her. She just woke up. It seemed that Lingshan had changed into her clothes, sneaked out, and assassinated Wensheng quietly! This girl would cause trouble!"
"Sister Sister, what should we do?" Lin Le was also dumbfounded. According to what Suli had told him, the whole city is now martial law, and both county soldiers and yamen runners are desperately searching for Ling Shan. Once they encounter it, it will definitely trigger a fierce battle. Ling Shan, as the saint of the Moon Worship Sect, must not be misunderstood!
Ling Yue walked back and forth a few steps and whispered: "Immediately notify all halls. Once Lingshan's traces are found, warn her immediately, hide her, and report to the main hall quickly.
Notify the ten dead soldiers lurking near the county government to prepare for attacking the county government. Once needed, they must use a rapid offensive to divert the official's attention and attention.
In addition, we ordered all the halls to spread the news, saying that Wensheng was killed by... by Dulang's people, in order to make the treasure hidden in private by Wensheng. Didn't you say that behind Dulang is the Yellow Turban thief Du Yuan, let's just muddle the water and let the government fight with the Yellow Turban thief first!"
"Yes, senior sister is wise!" Lin Le was convinced and bowed respectfully.
So at dawn, many versions of rumors have been circulated in Qiao County, the most logical one is "Durang is determined to find money and sends people to chase Wensheng"!
Soon, Du Lang learned about the news, and he felt very wronged. Although he wanted to make a vote, he had not found the right time to start. Now, which unethical guy slandered me, it was really too much!
Du Lang felt a little angry at first, but soon he felt a little scared. He also vaguely knew Wen Sheng's identity and background. Now that Wen Sheng's case has not been solved for a long time, maybe Liu Quan, the magistrate of Qiao County, would find a scapegoat. Looking at the entire Qiao County, who is more suitable for this role than Du Lang?!
The more Du Lang thought about it, the more he became more and more afraid, especially when his guard reported that he found a secret spy sent by unknown forces at the front and back doors, he was even more shocked. Du Lang immediately mobilized all his forces to assist the government in finding the real murderer. At the same time, he also sent someone to quietly leave the city and report to his clan brother Du Yuan, hoping that the clan brother would send people to prevent accidents.
At this time, Lingshan rubbed her eyes and sat up from the roof of a family.
Yesterday she killed Wensheng, and it was a lie to say she was not afraid. Especially when she was revenge and her anger gradually faded, her hands and face were covered with blood, which quickly made her breath, who woke up, even vomited bile.
When she recovered her strength, she was shocked to find that the county town of Qiao County had been martial law, and all the yards were locked in the yard gate, and Fangding even inspected the yards back and forth.
With Lingshan's martial arts skills, she might sneak back to the inn, but Lingshan was only in her teens after all, and this guardian formation in the city scared her to hide at the first time and dared not go.
And after Lingshan figured it out, it was already bright, and she would not know that she had lost the last chance to return to the inn.
Lingshan overturned the roof of the house, quietly washed her well, cleaned the remaining blood on her body and hands, then turned out of the courtyard wall and headed towards the inn.
When Lingshan walked out of the alley, the government yamen runners discovered the little girl with a strange whereabouts. Moreover, the clothes she wore were tall, short, fat and thin, basically consistent with the description on the wanted order!
The yamen runners immediately rushed forward with iron rulers. The leader of Wang San felt that he was about to make great contributions and happily pushed the iron rope forward!
But who is Lingshan? He has been practicing martial arts since he was a child, so he could not arrest him by a small yamen runner. Seeing that the other party was not kind, Lingshan was not a weak woman who obeyed him, subconsciously drew out a dagger.
Seeing that the other party actually pulled out a dagger from his arms, Wang San was not surprised but happy, and shouted loudly: "I found the thief. It was the first one I, Wang San, found it, and the first one I, Wang San!
In his consciousness, a little girl, even with a dagger, would not pose any threat to him, the old world! What's more, the county magistrate said that the murderer was a dwarf, and the little girl was just a bait that lured Wen Sheng into being deceived!
So Wang San, who was full of dream of making money, did not retreat at all, but stepped forward, waved the iron chain in his hand and put it around Lingshan's neck.
Ling Shan suddenly stood up and leaned back. The iron chain slid past her nose with a whoosh, blowing Ling Shan's hair straight back.
Wang San did not trap the person, but instead stumbled and fell forward.
Lingshan hid to the side and saw the yamen runners surrounding him. After he hesitating for a moment, he ran to his own way.
Wang San shouted loudly: "Chasing, don't escape the criminal!" But although he shouted loudly, he quietly slowed down. The other party was so agile, so he was not a good person!
