Zhou Yan

Chapter 37

The county government at this time is very different from the time when Liang Yongrui knocked on wood until sparks came out. It cannot be said to be exactly the same, but it has nothing to do with it.

The macarons leaned on both sides with water and fire sticks, and they pretended to be wooden people with their eyes and noses. They all chose to watch the fire from the shore in a tacit understanding. The scene was very quiet for a while.

"Brother Shen," Li Wei's eyes widened, like an awl piercing through the ice, his voice was a bit piercing in the quiet lobby: "How can you be a suspect! You are so young, those present can only fight Pass that girl on the ground!"

Shen Xian glanced at him, what are these words, he didn't want to talk to him.

"Cough!" The county magistrate coughed and sat down on the chair. He straightened his sleeves: "Not necessarily, what if he did something wrong and hurt people behind their backs when they were not prepared!"

The county magistrate was thinking about how to make up for it slowly, but Shen Xian exploded, he stared at the county magistrate with a smirk: "Don't worry, if I hit you, I will be upright, and I will never do anything behind my back. "

The county magistrate is 40 years old this year. At this age, he is more than enough to be an elder of Shen Xian. This is a bit disrespectful to the elders, but Zhou Mingchao just glanced at Shen Xian and did not stop him.

Elders should be respected, but the county magistrate of Qiuyang County really can't be a gentle and honest elder, Zhou Mingchao pursed his lips and let himself go.

A brat is really insane!Liang Yongrui's face turned black with anger, and since Li Wei was present, he couldn't be as angry as before.

"You young man, you are really..."

"Shen Xian, why did you come here? If you don't see you for a while, you will cause trouble for me!"

If you don't see him, you should hear his voice first, and the voice of the city lord will reach everyone's ears first.

The thick voice immediately alerted Shen Xian. He looked around, and after confirming that only his father and no wife were present, he felt that something might happen to him today, so his witty Zhou Mingchao hid a little behind him.

As soon as the city lord entered the gate of the county government office, he saw the son who gave him a headache sneaking away, and tried to hide himself in the gap between Zhou Mingchao and the pillar.

"Shen Xian!" It was really unsightly, the city lord didn't want to go over and grab his ears, and stood in the middle of the lobby and shouted: "Get out of here!"

As soon as the city lord turned around, his face was exposed under the candlelight, and Liang Yongrui, who was still a little confused when he heard the voice, was terrified.

"City Lord, why are you here! Doesn't this make my squirrel shine!"

Liang Yongrui rolled down the chair in a frenzy, not seeing the arrogance of sitting in the hall and wanting to hit the idle board, and ran to the city lord very respectfully: "I'll go prepare some wine and food, and clean up the city lord?"

Zhou Mingchao may not know him, and Shen Xian may not know what he looks like, but the city lord, Liang Yongrui, must recognize him. Qiuyang County is under the jurisdiction of Linzhou City, and the city lord is Liang Yongrui's immediate boss.

At this time, Shen Xian walked slowly to the city lord, lowered his head, "Father."

The sound of father made Liang Yongrui shake for three times and almost fell down. Thinking of making Shen Xian plead guilty just now and having the guards punish him with sticks, Liang Yongrui wanted to die!I can't wait to go back to the time just now and give myself two slaps.

Liang Yongrui regretted it at the beginning, and felt that not only Wu Shamao would be ruined here today, but his own life would also be ruined here.

The city lord is indeed an old man who has eaten a few more rice than them. He has seen a lot of big worlds, and he knows that there is something wrong when he glances at the expressions of the people around him.

"What happened?" The city lord crossed his arms, glanced at a group of boys who knew they were in trouble, and snorted, "Tell me!"

"It's just..." Shen Xian was about to complain immediately.

"I didn't ask you to say it," the city lord patted him on the head: "Ming Dynasty said."

"When I came, I just saw the yamen servant pressing down..."

Zhou Mingchao told the truth about what he saw, and Liang Yongrui's legs trembled with guilt without embellishment. When Zhou Mingchao said that the yamen servant was pressing Shen Xian to beat him, he knew it was over. Liang Yongrui looked up carefully. One look at the city lord's face, it was indeed a bit gloomy.

The county magistrate quietly wiped the cold sweat on his trousers.

After Zhou Mingchao finished speaking, the city lord remained silent.

Shen Xian took a step forward, got a little closer to his father, and said in a low voice: "I really didn't kill anyone, I just felt a little bored at the time, and wanted to come out to get some air, and when I walked to that alley, I saw a man, and I wanted to help him got up, but he was dead when I photographed him."

The city owner looked at his son: "Are you sure you were dead when you saw that person?"

Shen Xian thought for a while: "Well, I wanted to call him, but as soon as I put my hand on him, the man fell down, and then the girl started calling."

The city lord saw Lin Ruanruan who was at a loss in the corner: "Girl, did you see that Shen Xian killed the person?"

The city lord squatted down and looked at her at the same level. It was obviously a very peaceful and non-compressive movement. Lin Ruanruan suddenly felt a little timid under such gaze: "No, no."

"Lord Liang," the city lord asked a few people, and finally asked Liang Yongrui: "Where is the body, and why did you die, have you visited the scene?"

Liang Yongrui wiped the sweat from his forehead and stuttered unconsciously: "Corpse, the corpse is in the morgue, and Wu Zuo hasn't gone to the autopsy yet. It's too late now, and the scene... has no time to go."

The city lord frowned, Liang Yongrui swallowed, sweating uneasy on the spot.

"There was no autopsy, and I didn't have time to see the scene," Zhou Mingchao said in a flat voice, "It's time to convict Shen Xian."

Liang Yongrui felt even more guilty, his hands were shaking uncontrollably, and his underwear was soaked with sweat.

"Lord Liang," said the city lord, "out of justice, I have to say a few words."

"City Lord, tell me." Liang Yongrui immediately bent down.

"There must be a motive for killing people. Shen Xian has never even been to Qiuyang County before. This is his first time here, and he doesn't even know a few people here. Besides, although he was ignorant before, But he is still a kind child, he can't do murder."

Shen Xian's eyes flickered, and he sneaked a look at his father.

"I may say this out of selfishness, so I won't mention anything superfluous, not to mention the reason why he didn't kill the man, that is, the girl just saw Shen Xian staying with that man, and he killed him if she didn't see anyone. Based on this, it is a bit too arbitrary to conclude that Shen Xian killed someone."

"Yes, yes, what the city lord said is true," Liang Yongrui nodded, and said again and again: "I didn't think carefully. How could Mr. Shen kill someone? There must be someone else. I will send someone to investigate tomorrow morning. Murderer, give young master Shen justice."

Obviously what the city lord said made sense, but Liang Yongrui's reaction was like two people working together, the city lord frowned and didn't speak.

"You don't need to check." Zhou Mingchao said suddenly.

Shen Xian looked up at his brother Zhou in surprise, and raised his chin: "That's right, you don't need to check, we will check it ourselves."

"That..." Liang Yongrui carefully accompanied the smiling face.

"Let them investigate!" The city lord nodded: "Shen Xian was beside him when he found the body. Although there is no evidence that he did not kill him, it has nothing to do with him. Let them investigate. If they can't find out, I will naturally Give you an explanation."
