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

The Wu Er couple were secretly angry and cursed in their hearts that the people in Tianfu County were such beasts. They cried until they were almost out of tears, but no one came out to comfort them.

Wu Er's wife had been working in the provincial capital, helping her employer to buy low and sell high, and she had become very cunning.

Seeing that this trick didn't work, he immediately wiped his tears to Wu Xingzong and said, "Zong'er, nephew, you are the eldest grandson of our family. Your grandfather and your father have always valued you. Now that they have been unjustly killed, you must go and beat the drum to appeal for justice, so that everyone knows the injustice of our Wu family... If this injustice cannot be redressed, how will the people of the prefecture look at our family?"

Wu Xingzong was startled when he heard this, and remembered how the old man of the Lin family was furious when the government office came to his shop to inform him that something had happened at home. He also warned him that if he couldn't resolve the trouble at home, he wouldn't have to go back to the Lin family.

Wu Xingzong was terrified and did not want to lose the good days in the city. He rushed to the steps of the yamen, took the drumstick and started beating it.

Boom boom boom!

"Sir, this is unjust. Please help my grandfather and father!"

A burst of shouting attracted more people to watch the fun.

This also caused the people from the government office to frown. Zhao Bantou asked: "Captain Gao, Master Miao, Master Luo, do you want me to arrest him?"

The Wu family was still making trouble even when they arrived at the yamen, clearly trying to embarrass the yamen.

Master Miao shook his head: "No need, let's see what the county government does."

"Yes." Zhao Bantou stepped back.

Soon, Master Lu led a group of yamen runners out and ordered: "The relatives of the criminals are deliberately causing trouble. Come, hold them down and beat them with ten sticks to serve as a warning to others!"

"Yes!" The bailiffs came running over, held down Wu Xingzong, Wu Er, and Wu Er's wife, raised their wooden sticks, and started beating them.

The three members of the Wu family were beaten so hard that they cried out in pain.

The second wife of Wu hated the Wu family even more...a bunch of damned bastards. Not only was they dead, but they also caused her to be beaten in public. If this news spread to the provincial capital, how would she be able to go out?

Soon, the ten blows were over.

"Capture the relatives of the criminal and wait for their punishment." Master Lu gave instructions and came over to greet the people from the government office: "Captain Gao, Master Miao, Master Luo, and Captain Zhao, thank you for your hard work. Your Excellency is already waiting in the yamen, please follow me."

Master Miao was very satisfied with the yamen beating the Wu family, and asked hurriedly: "Master Lu, aren't the Wu family the victims? Why do you call Wu Er and his family relatives of the criminals?"

Master Lu said, "Lizhang Wu and his son are the victims, but they have also committed crimes before, and there is already witnesses and evidence."

Captain Gao's heart skipped a beat when he heard this, but he said nothing and followed Master Miao, Master Lu and others into the yamen to see Magistrate Kang.

The Yan family and Mr. Qu Sanye were not officials, so they were taken to other small houses to wait.

"Magistrate Kang, what are the details of the Wu family case? How did the Wu family go from being victims to being criminals?" asked Master Miao.

Magistrate Kang ordered the files to be brought over and he explained the case to them in person.

More than an hour later...

"An old man who refuses to die is a thief. These old men Wu and Wu are nothing but good-for-nothings." Master Miao and his companions finally finished reading the files and sighed.

That’s right, he just sighed. He wasn’t shocked, nor was he afraid of a murder.

Seeing this, County Magistrate Kang felt relieved and immediately apologized, saying, "Last year and this year, there were murders in Tianfu County. I really can't face the prefect."

Master Miao said, "County Magistrate Kang is a man who is going to move up. There will be bigger cases waiting for him in the future. With his ability, he will definitely handle the case well. There is no need for him to blame himself."

After hearing this, County Magistrate Kang was relieved and said politely, "Since the prefect trusts me, I will work hard and do more to help the court."

There have been murders for two consecutive years, which is indeed a bit embarrassing for a county magistrate. But to be frank, such murders only terrify the people of this county. If it happens in a provincial capital, such a case is not even a big deal and is almost like a theft case.

Not to mention the Provincial Administration Commissioner's Office.

The Provincial Administration Commissioner's Office handled cases of house confiscation, exile, rebellion, and killing of officials, and these were considered major cases.

After hearing this, County Magistrate Kang felt very ashamed... He had stayed in the small county for too many years and had become timid.

"Magistrate Kang, we need to go and see the criminals, witnesses, and physical evidence." said Master Miao.

"Yes." County Magistrate Kang called County Lieutenant Yang and County Assistant Feng and asked them to bring the people from the government office to see the criminals, witnesses and physical evidence.

Captain Gao was familiar with County Magistrate Yang, and the two of them walked side by side, a few steps behind.

Yang County Lieutenant asked: "The criminal has been caught on the spot, there is nothing dangerous, why did Brother Gao come here?"

"Brother Tang was originally sent, but I am more familiar with Tianfu County, so they sent me instead." Captain Gao said, and then asked jokingly: "Brother Yang, do you dislike me? Then I won't come next time."

Ha, County Lieutenant Yang laughed and said, "I really dislike you. Don't come next time. It's useless to come this time."

The two men were familiar comrades-in-arms, and they chatted as they walked, which made the people in the county government less nervous.

Captain Gao was also relieved... It seemed that the Wu family case did not involve more things, so they could rest assured.

But when Captain Gao saw Ershuan in the cell, he couldn't help but be shocked... The county government was quite cruel and dealt such a heavy blow.

"Hey, wake up! The official from the government office wants to question you!" Two Lu yamen runners pulled up Ershuan from the ground and tied him to the wooden pillar of the cell.

The coroner came forward and used some tricks to wake Ershuan up completely.

"Wake up, tell us the details of the Wu family case! What is your relationship with Wu Lichang? Did you harm Huang Xianniang and her sisters? Did you know in advance when Huang Xianniang was harming people? How much do you know about the Wu family?!"

A series of questions came down.

But these questions had been asked dozens of times by the county government, and Ershuan answered them fluently.

Mr. Luo and his colleagues listened and read the confession given by the county government and asked questions three times.

After half an hour, Master Luo said, "It is consistent with the confession. I can't see any loopholes or strangeness... It is this person. His willpower is too strong."

Despite being subjected to so many tortures, having his nose cut off, and spending ten days in a dark cell, his mind was still clear and he did not collapse.

"He is indeed a little different from ordinary people." County Lieutenant Yang echoed, and then said: "But this man lost his parents when he was six years old, and then wandered around the city. He was bullied a lot, so his bones became hard."

After hearing this, Master Luo hurried to look up Ershuan's background... The files recorded that Ershuan's real name was Qian Cifeng, and he was from Xia Hu Village in the far suburbs of the city.

After his parents passed away, his family’s land was taken over by his cousin’s family, and he had to beg for a living.

"The Qian family was from another place, not from Xiahu Village, so the villagers didn't help him, so he kept wandering. Later, he met the head of the village, Wu, and helped him. Wu bought him from his cousin's family, brought him back to Wujia Village, and has been raising him ever since."

After Master Luo finished reading, the people who came to the government office were relieved: "As long as the origin is clear, it's good."

If the origins of this Ershuan were unknown, they would have to investigate in detail, but that is no longer necessary now.

"Growing up eating food from many families does make your bones harder."

Master Luo went to look at the testimonies of other witnesses against Ershuan. Seeing that no one had accused Ershuan of a crime, he said, "Let's go and look at the next one."

I have passed the Ershuan level.

County Magistrate Feng, County Lieutenant Yang, and Captain Gao all breathed a sigh of relief.

"Everyone, please." County Lieutenant Yang took the people from the government office to the next cell.

Review is a meticulous job and cannot be rushed. They were busy until dark before they asked Huang Xianniang and her sister.

The sisters were very honest and told everything when asked.

This kind of cooperation is really pitiful.

However, if you break the law, you must be punished. The people in the government will not show them leniency. Those who deserve to die must die.

……

The people in the government office were interrogating the people involved in the Wu family case, while the old village chief Zhou, clan leader Lu and other people from Taifeng town were stopped outside the city gate.

Village chief Zhou and his men were not in a hurry. They restrained everyone and camped outside the city, waiting for the county government to give orders.
