After rebirth, the Queen and I are on the run.

However, Ershuan was just a junior of his level, and was not qualified to contact him, so County Lieutenant Yang could look directly at Ershuan and ask, "Are you Ershuan, the servant of the Wu family? Have you done anything to offend Huang Xianniang? Has Huang Xianniang behaved abnormally in the past few days?"

He also warned: "Tell the truth. If you dare to conceal or shield anyone's crime, you will not be a victim, but a criminal, and you will be severely punished!"

Ershuan's heart skipped a beat... Did County Lieutenant Yang mean that he was sure that the Wu family had murdered Huang Xianniang, and that was why Huang Xianniang took up the knife to seek revenge?

Ershuan was very confused, but he was not a real servant after all, so he was just shocked and repeated his confession to County Lieutenant Yang.

Finally, he knelt down and cried out: "Sir, I suspect that Huang Xianniang has already become mentally ill because of fleeing famine. This is an unprovoked disaster for me. Please help me!"

As long as they determine that Huang Xianniang is mentally ill, then everything she said is not true, then they have never taken turns bullying Huang Xianniang, and they are great people who are very kind to Huang Xianniang.

What happened this time was that Huang Xianniang herself was mentally ill, so she picked up a knife and killed these good people!

Evil people will not reflect on themselves, but will only push the blame onto the victims, and Ershuan is just like that.

"Well, go down and wait. The government will find out the truth. Sooner or later, it will be revealed to the world who is right and who is wrong." Seeing that Ershuan did not lose his mind and was able to respond calmly, County Lieutenant Yang was finally relieved and waved his hand to let Ershuan go down.

Lieutenant Yang summoned Ershuan for questioning because he was afraid that this kid would not be able to bear the blow and would speak nonsense, thus ruining everyone's foundation that had been established for many years.

"Yes, thank you very much, sir!" Ershuan wiped his tears and retreated, acting like an innocent victim.

"Sir, County Lieutenant, these are the confessions of Wu Sisheng and others." The clerk Guan brought out the new confession.

County Magistrate Yang took the confession, glanced at it, and asked, "Where is the confession of the Huang sisters?"

The clerk replied, "We are short of manpower and have not yet recorded their statements."

But he recorded Huang Cainiang's previous words and handed it to County Captain Yang to read.

After seeing this, County Lieutenant Yang frowned tightly... If what Huang Cainiang said was true, then the chess pieces of the Wu and Wu families would be completely useless.

"Continue to record their statements. I will take people to search Wu's house." County Lieutenant Yang stood up and led a few soldiers to search Wu's house.

He mainly searched the room where Wu Lichang slept.

The seal of the inner room was torn off, and County Lieutenant Yang led his men in to search the room.

"Sir, the blue bricks on the wall can be removed... there is medicine powder inside... Sir, please have a look."

Lieutenant Yang took the powder, sniffed it, and immediately put it away... He could smell that this was a very powerful drug. Fortunately, they took the antidote given by the government for fear of accidents, otherwise they would have been drugged.

"Sir, there are medicines here too." The soldier took a few more packets of medicine to show him.

Lieutenant Yang took it and smelled it again. He immediately felt a burning sensation and even a stinging pain on the tip of his nose... This should be a mute medicine for bad guys' throats.

"Sir, there is gold hidden here, the size of fingers, there are more than ten pieces!" The soldier was excited.

"Put it in a box at the county government office as evidence, and return it to the Wu family after the case is closed." County Lieutenant Yang gave the order and led the soldiers to search the inner room, outer room, warm room, and small compartment where Wu Lichang slept, and found three full boxes of things.

The soldiers sighed: "So many things were found in the sleeping quarters of a village chief, half of which were gold and silver."

This old man is really good at hiding.

The more the soldiers looked at the gold and silver, the more they felt something was wrong. They asked, "The Wu family doesn't have much property. Where did all this gold and silver come from? It can't be dirty, right?"

General Gong had just finished searching the courtyard with his troops and came over to answer the call. After hearing this, he said, "I guess it was the money that Wu Lichang earned outside... When Wu Lichang was young, his family was poor, so he left home to find a job, and later returned home with wealth and honor."

After hearing this, the soldiers felt something was wrong: "Could this Wu Lizhang have done something bad in a foreign land?"

Gong Zongqi said: "When Wu Lizhang returned home with sudden wealth, it caused a sensation in the surrounding area. I heard that the county government investigated him at the time, but they didn't find anything."

"It's almost noon. Stop talking nonsense, seal the boxes and prepare to return to the county government office." County Lieutenant Yang urged.

And at this moment, he felt relieved.

He rushed over and searched the house himself, for he was afraid that his subordinates might find something that shouldn't be there. Now that he had dealt with it, he had nothing to worry about.

"Yes!" Gong Zongqi and the others responded, carrying the things and went to the main hall.

After another hour, the crime scene was finally investigated.

County Lieutenant Yang summoned all the officials, including the head of the village, the head of the ward, and the people from Xue and Yan's families, and said, "This case is shocking, and it happened during a time of general amnesty. The county magistrate is furious. I must quickly escort the criminals, witnesses, and evidence back to the county government. The peace of Wujia Village and Taifeng Town will be temporarily handed over to you."

"You must guard the villages and towns well and don't make any more mistakes. Otherwise, the government will have a hard time and your Taifeng Town will have a bad reputation."

Yang Xianwei pointed at Zhou Bantou and said to the crowd, "Zhou Bantou is from your Taifeng Town. He will stay in Wujia Village with the yamen runners. The people of Wujia Village should cooperate with him and not cause trouble."

"...Yes." Although the Wu family was angry, they were also afraid of the people in the yamen, so they responded honestly.

But several elders of the Wu family knelt down again: "Sir County Lieutenant, you must make a decision for our Wu family. Our good headman has been ruined, and so many people have died. You must give us justice and cannot let the Wu family suffer losses in vain, otherwise it will increase the prestige of outsiders!"

"If we don't severely punish those outsiders, they will think that we locals are easy to bully, and they may commit serious crimes again!"

What he said was to cut off the livelihood of all the disaster victims who had fled famine and settled down elsewhere, which was a vicious move.

The clerk could not help but said, "Elder Wu Liukui, there are good people and bad people in every place. You can't just lump everyone in the same basket... The yamen will punish criminals severely, but the yamen will only protect the villagers from other places who have not done any evil."

Wu Liukui angrily said, "Guan Shuli, so many people have died, and you are still speaking for the outsiders? It's because your family members haven't been killed, so don't you feel bad for talking while standing still?!"

"Shut up!" County Magistrate Yang shouted at Wu Liukui, "The clerk is a member of the government, and he has always been impartial. And what the clerk said is not wrong."

County Lieutenant Yang softened his voice and said, "Alright, you Wu family members should also go and prepare. The elders of the family should bring your capable sons and daughters with you and follow us back to the county office to meet the county magistrate. If you have any grievances, you can tell him in person."

After hearing this, Wu Liukui gave up and said, "Thank you, County Lieutenant!"

"Alright, everyone go back to your duties." After saying this, Lieutenant Yang told everyone to go back to their work.

The injured, including Huang Wushi, Huang Guilu, Wu Xingzu, and Wu Lichang, were also carried to the open space in the front yard, ready to set off for the county government office.

Captain Wu was really lucky. He wasn't dead yet. He was lying on the wooden board, cursing softly, "Kill Huang Xianniang, kill that bitch... ungrateful beast... chop her into pieces and sell her to be a secret prostitute..."

All kinds of vicious words kept coming out, but the curses were so harsh that I was exhausted to the point of vomiting blood.

Fatty Lü was speechless and advised, "Captain Wu, take it easy and stop scolding."

If you keep scolding me, I’m afraid you’ll tire yourself out.
