Crazy Xiuxian, boundless magic power

Chapter 169: Solving Cases with Inner Concentration

Adjacent to the People's Hospital is a two-story building covering a large area.

Above the wide entrance is a huge plaque with the four big characters "Buffalo Supermarket" inscribed on it.

Shangguan Qingyun walked into the supermarket curiously, and immediately felt like he had stepped into a treasure trove of everything.

The rows and layers of merchandise on the shelves are dazzling.

In the fresh fruit and vegetable area, colorful fruits are piled up like mountains and juicy fresh vegetables are arranged neatly.

Looking closely, there are not only seasonal fruits and vegetables, but also fruits and vegetables that should not mature in this season, and some fruits that cannot be produced in Qingyun Country for sale.

Passing through the fruit and vegetable area, you will see a wide variety of food areas.

There are not only a variety of pastries here, but also breads that you have never seen before.

What’s even more magical is that under the sign of the meat and dairy area, there are rows of cabinets filled with ice, and on the ice are a variety of fresh meats, seafood and dairy products.

There was also a monk casting a spell to make ice nearby. Everything seemed outrageous, yet so harmonious.

A variety of condiments and spices are sold on the stand next to it.

The daily necessities area has an incredibly complete range of items, from toiletries to kitchen utensils, from cleaning tools to writing utensils... the classification is detailed and the brands are diverse.

Shangguan Qingyun saw many things for the first time.

In addition, there are luggage area, clothing area, snack area, and even a special children's toy area.

The entire supermarket is spacious and bright, with clear signs. The price of each item is clearly marked and the prices are extremely low.

The supermarket clerks include both male and female employees, all wearing uniform clothes and smiling. They are polite to both old ladies in plain clothes and rich people in fine clothes, giving people a sense of peace.

Shangguan Qingyun walked around the supermarket and couldn't resist his desire, so he bought some rare things and snacks.

After going up to the second floor of the supermarket, Shangguan Qingyun found it even more interesting.

I saw that the second floor was divided into three major blocks.

One is marked Qingtianfang, one is Guiyuanfang, and one is Sanxiufang.

What is sold in each block are supplies for cultivators, ranging from magical instruments and elixirs to talismans and spiritual herbs. Although the quality is not high, they are complete.

The area for independent cultivators is the most interesting, as some stalls only sell one or two items.

Shangguan Qingyun really didn't like these things, so he turned around and left the supermarket.

Adjacent to the supermarket is the Buffalo County Library, which houses a variety of books, all free to read.

After leaving the library, there are more than a dozen inns and restaurants, each of which is quite large.

Further back are the Buffalo County Orphanage and the Buffalo County Nursing Home, which, as the name suggests, are populated by children and the elderly.

On the last street in the north city, there are eleven huge white houses arranged horizontally, namely.

Buffalo County ICAC.

Buffalo County Petitions Bureau.

Buffalo County Civil Affairs Bureau.

Buffalo County Farm Bureau.

Buffalo County Housing and Urban-Rural Development Bureau.

Buffalo County Department of Education.

Buffalo County Department of Transportation.

Buffalo County Police Department.

Buffalo County Taxation Office.

Buffalo County Courthouse.

Buffalo County Women's Federation.

Buffalo County Cultivation Department.

In front of every house are written the five big characters “Serve the People”.

The five big words clearly state the department's obligations, and each of them is a project to provide services to the people of Buffalo County.

Shangguan Qingyun looked at them one by one and found that these departments had very few rights but many obligations.

What surprised Shangguan Qingyun even more was that the names of the officers in each department were posted in front of the door.

Below the name is the public disclosure of the official’s family property.

Three ways of reporting are also listed at the end: 1. Independent Commission Against Corruption, 2. Bureau of Letters and Calls, 3. Laocheng County Government.

It also states that if the report is true, the illegal gains of the relevant personnel will belong to the reporter.

Shangguan Qingyun praised it highly after seeing it. In this way, with millions of eyes watching, who would dare to seek personal gain?

Shangguan Qingyun could no longer suppress his curiosity and couldn't wait to meet this brilliant county magistrate.

He spread out his spiritual sense to explore and found that there was a young cultivator in the middle stage of foundation building sitting in the lobby of the county government office in the old city. He looked very similar to the county magistrate mentioned by the people. He must be Chu Wen.

Shangguan Qingyun was even more attracted to Chu Wenshen's talent when he saw that he had great accomplishments and could benefit the world.

He put away his spiritual sense, took a step forward, and went straight to the gate of the county government office, where he saw Chu Wen trying a case.

On this day, Mr. Xu reported two cases. One was about two women fighting over gold, and the court of first instance could not tell who was the owner.

Second, Mr. Huang killed his wife. He was sentenced to immediate execution at the first instance. This case involves murder. Please ask Chu Wen to review it.

Chu Wen sat upright in the lobby.

Two women, one old and one young, were kneeling in the hall. In front of them were four silver ingots, each weighing five taels.

The two women have each made their own statements. The old woman said that the silver ingot belonged to her, and the young woman said that she lost it.

Each of them had their own reasons, and there was no mark on the silver ingot, so they couldn't find out anything at the first trial, so it was handed over to Chu Wen.

After listening to the two people's statements, Chu Wen grinned and said nonchalantly:

"Since we can't tell who owns the silver, we can just give it half to each of us."

Shangguan Qingyun frowned when he heard this outside the gate, thinking that Chu Wen was so confused, how could he solve the case in such a way.

The old lady in the hall heard this and replied, "Since the county magistrate has made such a ruling, I will obey it."

The young woman frowned and remained silent for a long time. She opened her mouth several times to speak, but held back.

Seeing this, Chu Wen picked up the gavel and slammed it hard, pointing at the old woman and shouting:

"You are such a rude man, you found something and didn't return it. You even dared to lie in court. Someone, come! Give me twenty sticks!"

The old woman was shocked when she heard this and kept saying that she was innocent.

The young woman was overjoyed when she heard this, and looked at Chu Wen in disbelief, sighing in her heart that Chu Qingtian was indeed very good at solving cases.

"Ding"

The order was signed.

Four yamen runners stepped forward skillfully and held the old woman down, while two of them started beating her with sticks.

"Boom bang bang..."

Shangguan Qingyun was confused by this scene. When he was thinking about how Chu Wen would solve the case, he heard the old woman wailing:

"Oh, stop hitting me. Oh, I was wrong, sir. Oh, I won't do it again..."

"The unruly Xu Baiying found something and refused to return it, which is immoral. In this county court, he even dared to use sophistry and deceive this official. This is really abominable and should be severely punished! Considering that this is your first offense, I will give you a lighter punishment."

"I hereby render the following judgment: Xu Baiying shall pay Fang Xiaoxiao twenty taels of silver in compensation for mental damages within ten days, and be detained for ten days to reflect on his mistakes. Take him away!"

"Yes! Your lord!"

"Fang Xiaoxiao, please get up. Keep this silver carefully and don't lose it again."

The young woman was so excited that she burst into tears and kowtowed repeatedly.

"Thank you, sir. Thank you, sir. Lord Chu is truly a god descending to earth. He can solve cases like a god, he can solve cases like a god..."

"Alright, alright, stop knocking and get up. If you don't receive compensation from Xu Baiying within ten days, report to the Xincheng Police Station and someone will help you get it back."

"Thank you, sir. Thank you, sir..."

"Go back."

It was not until this time that Shangguan Qingyun understood Chu Wen's strategy of attacking his heart. He praised Chu Wen repeatedly in his heart, saying that it was not easy for someone to understand human nature at such a young age.

Master Xu finally understood and immediately started to flatter him.

"Your Excellency is as wise as a god and your methods are extremely clever..."

"Okay, okay, take the next one."

Chu Wen leaned back on the chair in the hall and waved his hand to stop Master Xu from talking nonsense.
