The reborn elder sister has gone crazy with killing, and there is a crying monster behind her

The voices became smaller and smaller, and now the gossip around began to spread.

"How could anyone do such a thing?"

"That's right. The county magistrate has never treated us unfairly."

"I recognize this man. He used to be the son of the Zhang family. The Zhang family fell into decline some time ago, and it was the county magistrate who helped them."

"Ah? Isn't this just an ungrateful person?"

The crowd was arguing more and more fiercely, and a few strong men even picked up sticks and prepared to start fighting.

Shen Qingxu and the others were still waiting for the next step, and when they saw this scene, they knew something was wrong!

Fortunately, Mu Yunzhou spoke up to stop them: "Alright, the person is already dead, what's the point of arguing?"

"Everyone knows the right and wrong, the merits and demerits!" Gongsun Jiayan also followed suit to stop them.

These words blocked out all the noise, and the world became quiet in an instant.

"Okay, irrelevant personnel should leave on their own."

After Shen Qingxu finished speaking, he walked straight to the head of the bed.

The beggar-like woman was still unwilling to give up and kept shouting, "The county magistrate has never defiled a girl. He is not guilty. Why do you have to slander him?"

When Gongsun Jiayan heard this, he asked in confusion: "He hasn't even been accused of a crime yet, why are you so eager to name his crime?"

Xu Xingyi asked the butler next to him, "Did the county magistrate behave strangely before dinner yesterday?"

The butler was a little confused by this question and didn't react for a while.

His mind kept recalling the scene with the county magistrate yesterday!

It was not until he could sense the impatient voices around him that the butler spoke uncertainly: "If you put it that way, it's true."

"Stop wasting time and just tell me!" a constable urged impatiently.

"Yesterday, during dinner, a child came forward to beg for food. Normally, the adults would give him some food or copper coins, but yesterday the county magistrate acted out of character and did not give the child any food. He even left in a hurry!"

Xu Xingyi crossed his arms and asked, "Did he always give food to beggars before?"

The housekeeper nodded without any hesitation: "Yes, the county magistrate is not the kind of person who would watch someone in danger without helping."

Xu Xingyi looked at the county magistrate's neck again. There were obvious marks of strangulation, and they definitely would not have been left after death.

Seeing Xu Xingyi's serious expression, Shen Qingxu wanted to ask something, but when she saw Xu Xingyi shaking his head slightly, she swallowed her question temporarily.

She turned around, propped her chin with one hand and asked, "Does anyone know that woman just now?"

The housekeeper thought about it carefully and nodded, "We have met a few times, but we are not very familiar with each other. I just often see her begging for food at the Lu Family Tavern when I go to the market. Sometimes the county magistrate will invite her to have a meal when he sees her."

"Why would the county magistrate invite a beggar to dinner?" Shen Qingxu was puzzled and looked up at Xu Xingyi who was still thinking.

Gongsun Jiayan heard this and asked, "Do you think there's something wrong with that woman?"

Shen Qingxu shook her head: "I don't know, but Xu Xingyi should know, right?"

"Well, didn't you notice that the woman had a jade pendant?" Mu Yunzhou said. He had carefully observed the woman when she was there just now.

Although he was dressed like a beggar, his hands and feet were slender and delicate, and his skin was not as rough as that of ordinary beggars.

"Jade pendant? I've never noticed that." Shen Qingxu replied.

"Well, the jade pendant is yellow and white, and the patterns and gaps on it are the Zhang family's logo."

Xu Xingyi's words were undoubtedly a bolt from the blue for them. Zhang family?

Thinking carefully, it seemed that someone just said that the man was from the Zhang family, but how could that man not recognize his own jade pendant? The same goes for the others. Since the Zhang family is very famous, how could they not know that the jade pendant belongs to the Zhang family?

There was only one possibility - the two of them were hiding something.

But since the county magistrate is an honest and good official, how could he be hated by those people?

What kind of relationship do they have?

It seems that the Zhang family has to go.

Shen Qingxu’s brain wasn’t enough, so he looked up at Xu Xingyi, who immediately understood.

"Go to Zhang's house!"
