Xinye County Government.

In the side hall of the second hall, a doctor was applying medicine to Xu Zun.

The captain Zhao Yu was worried that Xu Zun was seriously injured, so he sent someone to send him back to the yamen and invited a doctor to treat him.

At this moment, Xu Zun's mind was still in chaos.

Although he has a strong adaptability, he is still a little uncomfortable in the face of a strange world and a strange self.

What's more, I had experienced a thrilling murder just now, and I almost became a murderer!

If it weren't for his alertness, I'm afraid he would have been beaten to death by the masses!

Looking back on all the experiences, Xu Zun couldn't help but feel deeply moved.

I was careful to be undercover for so many years, and I had never had any problems with all kinds of criminals, but I didn't expect that in the end I died in an accident.

Therefore, life is impermanent, so cherish it!

Of course, he knew very well that if he wanted to be arrogant, his strength was the first priority. The most urgent thing was that he had to figure out his situation and put himself in a favorable position.

What he is most worried about now is whether the scandal between himself and Chunniang will reach Miss Chen or the prospective father-in-law?

Although Zhao Yu is still reliable, people are terrifying. I am afraid that rumors about him and Chunniang have already spread to the public.

If you annoy your father-in-law, you will be the best of your own county magistrate!

But……

For some reason, when Xu Zun thought of the case of You Dalang killing his wife, he still felt something was wrong.

In the memory I obtained, he had contact with this You Dalang.

This person is smart and capable, has a flexible mind, and has managed the silk shop in an orderly manner, his career is booming, and his business is becoming more and more prosperous.

How could such a shrewd person do such an impulsive thing?

Thinking of this, Xu Zun tried hard to pick up his memory and retrieved all the information about You Dalang in his mind.

Unexpectedly, as soon as he learned about some of You Dalang's situation, he was suddenly surprised and stood up from the chair!

Not right!

This case...is something big problem!?

"Sir...hello..."

The doctor was applying medicine to him, and most of the powder was sprinkled away.

Xu Zun didn't care much and said hurriedly: "Okay, don't worry, you can go!"

After saying that, without waiting for the doctor to react, he strode towards the door.

It turned out that Xu Zun discovered new suspicions through memories. He was going to the prison immediately to interrogate You Dalang himself!

However, as soon as he arrived at the door, he almost got into a mess with an old man wearing a green official uniform.

This person is also in a hurry and panic. When they meet suddenly, they are also shocked!

"Oh hey!" The old man stood firm and covered his heart and shouted, "Prince Xu, it turns out it's you!"

Xu Zun quickly searched for his memories and found that this person was Liu Zhang, the chief clerk of the county government.

The chief clerk is the assistant in charge of documents, equivalent to the county magistrate's secretary.

However, small counties like Xinye County, the chief clerk often holds multiple positions and also supervises accounting, household registration, file and other affairs, which is a relatively important position.

Zhubu Liu is nearly 60 years old and has been a chief clerk from Xinye County for most of his life, and has strong business capabilities.

"Zhengbu Liu!" Xu Zun followed the ancients' appearance and bowed with fists.

"Prince Xu, I'm sorry, I'm a little anxious!" Unexpectedly, Chief Liu was even more anxious than Xu Zun, and waved his hand and said, "Let's talk again!"

After saying that, he took a step and was about to leave.

"Hey? Wait a minute?" Xu Zun suddenly remembered something and asked, "Zhengbu Liu, can you show me the household registration information of the shopkeeper You in the silk shop? I have a case..."

"Shopkeeper You?" Liu Zhuan blinked, "Are you talking about that You Dalang?"

"right!"

"You Dalang moved to Xinye County in the 6th year of Taikang. He is 35 years old and from Qingyuan, Songzhou." Liu Zhubu replied casually.

"Damn, you remember this?" Xu Zun was surprised.

"Of course! You don't know," Liu Zhubu looked arrogant. "I never forget it. All the household registration information in this county is in my mind!"

"Awesome!" Xu Zun gave a thumbs up and asked again, "Then...what is his wife?"

"You Dalang's wife is named Chunniang, and she is also from Songzhou." Liu Zhubu replied, "I came with You Dalang back then, but I have not registered yet, and the specific information is unknown."

"Oh? Why?" Xu Zun was surprised.

"I don't know!" Liu Zhubu replied simply.

"If you don't have a settlement account, you're not a legal couple? Do you have a marriage certificate?" Xu Zun looked at Liu Zhubu's old-fashioned face and asked, "Why did they come to Xinye County to open a silk shop?"

This time, Liu Zhubu answered even more simply: "You can ask You Dalang!"

"emmm..." Xu Zun complained.

However, getting this information was a reward, which made him more eager to interrogate You Dalang.

It seems that there is indeed another mystery behind this murder case!

Unexpectedly, at this moment, another man in red official uniform came to the door.

This man looks like a jade-like face, is handsome and looks very handsome.

"Ji Ying?" The man came to the front and asked with concern, "I just heard about you! How about it, isn't it serious?"

Xu Zun recognized that this person was the top leader of Xinye County and the county magistrate - Qiu Yongnian!

Qiu Yongnian was a Jinshi in the last imperial examination. Before taking office in Xinye County, he entered the Hanlin Academy for an internship.

As we all know, the Jinshi who has been to the Hanlin Academy is extraordinary and will be entrusted with important tasks by the court in the future.

This small Xinye County is just his springboard, and it will inevitably have a bright future!

"It's okay, it's okay," Xu Zun replied in the tone of the ancients, "It's okay to thank the care."

"Mr. County Magistrate!" At this time, the chief clerk Liu Zhangchong said to Qiu County Magistrate, "The officials still have the important matters to do, so I will say goodbye first!"

"Oh," County Magistrate Qiu replied, "Please give me a gift!"

The chief clerk Liu bowed to Xu Zun again, then left the side hall and walked out.

Why?

Xu Zun wondered, just now he saw Master Liu coming in from outside in a hurry, obviously trying to enter the house, but why did he return the same way now?

What is this old man busy with? Are he dementia?

County Magistrate Qiu was also confused and asked Xu Zun: "Why do you think that Master Liu is a little absent-minded? What's wrong?"

Xu Zun shook his head to express his confusion.

At this time, the doctor had already packed up his things and left, and only Xu Zun and Qiu County Magistrate were left in the side hall.

"Ji Ying, as long as you're fine!" County Magistrate Qiu turned the topic to the case and said excitedly, "This You Dalang is really bold! He plotted to murder his first wife, framed others, and led his people to besiege the imperial officials. He is really bold and cannot be punished!"

While speaking, Xu Zun quickly investigated the details about the county magistrate.

Fortunately, perhaps because of the face of the prospective father-in-law, the County Magistrate Qiu has always taken good care of him and the two have a good personal relationship.

In addition, because he was a disciple, the magistrate Qiu was open-minded, honest and loved by the people. He was a rare good official.

"Fortunately, you saw through his trick in time, otherwise you would really be unable to clean up today!" As he spoke, County Magistrate Qiu had already entered the hall.

Although Xu Zun was anxious, he still followed him into the house. After all, he was his own leader.

"Ji Ying! I've heard it all," County Magistrate Qiu threw a complimentary look, "You are brave and conscious today, which really makes you look at me with admiration! Hahahaha..."

"Excessive award! Excessive award!" Xu Zun clasped his fists and looked perfunctory.

"Hey?" County Magistrate Qiu noticed Xu Zunyouyi and asked hurriedly, "What's wrong with this today? Why do you look absent-minded?"

"Sir! Well..." Seeing this, Xu Zun had to say what he thought, "I think there are still doubts in the case of You Dalang's murder of his wife. I'm going to go and examine him personally now!"

"Oh?" County Magistrate Qiu was surprised. "Ji Ying, I heard from the yamen runners that You Dalang had already pleaded guilty? What are the doubts?"

"Sir!" Xu Zunyan said, "I think there seems to be something else behind this case!"

"Is that right?" County Magistrate Qiu was even more curious, "What's going on?"

Originally, Xu Zun wanted to wait until the truth was found out, but now since the county magistrate asked about it, he would no longer keep it.
Chapter completed!
