Chapter 766 - County Government Visit
"You don't have to worry too much. Now that I know it, I can't ignore it. How much do you know about the killer's clues?" Chi Zhongtian asked.
When asked about this, the guard seemed a little ashamed and said very embarrassedly: "Mr. Chi, we are really incompetent. We don't even know what his family looks like."
Saying this, Chi Zhongtian was worried. He didn't even know his appearance, let alone other clues.
Just when Chi Zhongtian felt that there was nothing he could do about the matter, suddenly an idea came to his mind, and he quickly asked: "By the way, didn't you say that when the killer came for the first time, two of the guards in the mansion died?"
"yes."
"Then, where are their bodies?" Chi Zhongtian asked.
"I asked the county magistrate to send someone to carry him away at that time," the guard replied.
With Chi Zhongtian's current eyesight, if he could see the wounds on the deceased's body, then he might be able to get some clues.
"Zhongtian, don't listen to his nonsense. It'll be fine."
At this time, Cheng Qihou, supported by Ao Shuangxue, also walked towards here.
"Master Hou, why don't you rest in your room?" Chi Zhongtian hurriedly came over and said.
When the guard saw Marquis Chengqi approaching, he might have been afraid of being scolded, so he slipped away quietly while the others were not paying attention.
"Why rest? I'm fine. I'm just too tired during this period. Just take a good rest for a few days." Cheng Qihou said with a smile.
"Master Hou, I really have to say something to you. If a killer comes looking for trouble, even if I'm not here, you can still go to Shuangxue. Don't you think Shuangxue's martial arts is not good?" Chi Zhongtian helped Cheng Qi.
Hou's arm, while saying angrily.
"No, no, please don't stir up trouble. I have never thought that way. I just feel that these killers are not worthy of bothering you anymore. You are all still young and have things to do every day. You are not like me, an old man."
It seems so leisurely." Cheng Qihou replied with a smile.
"Master Hou, please don't think so. No matter what, it is troublesome if a killer is targeting you." Chi Zhongtian said.
"Senior brother, you think it's really strange. The Marquis is not in power now, so who would come to kill the Marquis?" Ao Shuangxue asked in confusion.
"Yes, I find it strange too. Whenever someone kills someone, there must be a stake. Did the Marquis block someone's way of making money?" Chi Zhongtian muttered.
Marquis Chengqi sneered and said: "That's nonsense. At my age, how can I block anyone's financial path? Besides, I am idle at home now and have nothing but a title."
"Senior brother, do you think it was Zhao Weixian who sent someone to do it?" Ao Shuangxue said suddenly.
"Junior sister!"
Chi Zhongtian was shocked and quickly stopped her, and then said: "You can't say this here, lest it cause trouble for the Marquis."
"It's just that you girl is not as stable as Zhongtian. By the way, why didn't you tell me about your kid becoming a general?"
As soon as Marquis Chengqi said this, Chi Zhongtian smiled and replied: "I thought I could hide it, but I didn't expect that even you would know about it."
"Haha, don't hide this kind of thing from me. In fact, Hu Chuanhai also knows it, but we all have a tacit understanding in private. No one will mention it, just pretend it doesn't happen." Cheng Qihou said in a low voice, and then moved forward.
He pointed and motioned for them to go inside.
After returning to the house, Marquis Chengqi ate a few mouthfuls of food, and then said: "Anyway, if you can serve the country, that is a good thing, but I have to advise you, never step into the officialdom.
Standing in the muddy water, it is more terrifying than the flash of swords and shadows on the rivers and lakes."
"What the Marquis taught me, I have remembered it," Chi Zhongtian replied respectfully.
"Senior brother, I just said that it might be someone from the Zhao Weixian sect, why didn't you let me say it?" Ao Shuangxue asked in a low voice.
"Zhao Weixian is also a powerful official. Although I, Brother Zidi and Magistrate Hu worked together to set a trap for him last time, he was only punished by the emperor and detained in the palace for a few months. His official position
But if your words get out, others will think that the Marquis is slandering Zhao Weixian privately."
As soon as Chi Zhongtian finished speaking, Cheng Qihou nodded and said, "That's what happened. From now on, we can just talk about this kind of thing behind closed doors."
"Well, I know, I will be careful in the future." Ao Shuangxue replied with a smile.
"Master Hou, I plan to go to the county government office and ask if the body of Magistrate Hu's bodyguard who was killed is still there. I want to see the wounds on the body," Chi Zhongtian said.
"Forget it, don't go. It's been more than twenty days, and the body is probably gone long ago," said Marquis Chengqi.
"I'd better go take a look."
Chi Zhongtian is a person who cannot hide things in his heart. If he has any hidden worries, he would like to solve them immediately.
Seeing that Chi Zhongtian insisted on going, Marquis Chengqi nodded and complied. However, Ao Shuangxue refused to go, saying that it was disgusting and wanted to stay in the mansion to accompany Marquis Chengqi.
"Junior sister, since you are not going, then stay here with the Marquis. In addition, there is a small bottle of century-old Ganoderma lucidum given to me by Bei Lingxuan in my study. You can go and get it for the Marquis later." Chi Zhongtian
He ordered.
"No, no, please don't, good boy, you are really awesome. You just give away a hundred-year-old Ganoderma lucidum to others so casually. It is something that is hard to buy with a million dollars. I don't want it. You have been traveling around the world all year round, and you will definitely need it in the future."
." Marquis Chengqi is a man who has seen good things. Does he know what a hundred-year-old Ganoderma lucidum is? It is really extremely valuable.
"Master Hou, you are not in good health. Drinking a little will definitely help. The hundred-year-old Ganoderma lucidum is not ordinary. It was given by a friend of mine from Kunlun Mountain. It is very effective. Please don't refuse. Shuangxue, have you written it down?"
"Senior brother, don't worry, I've remembered it!" Aoshuangxue was afraid that Marquis Chengqi would say something else, so she quickly agreed, and then pushed Chi Zhongtian out, leaving it too late for Marquis Chengqi to say anything.
After leaving the Hou Mansion, Chi Zhongtian ran towards the county government office. When he got to the door, the government officer saw it was Chi Zhongtian and went in to report it without saying a word.
Not long after, Hu Chuanhai, neatly dressed, hurried to the door with a few government servants.
"Master Chi! Long time no see!"
"Master Hu, I haven't seen you for a long time. How are you?"
"Well, thanks to the owner of the pool, I have enough to eat and sleep well." Hu Chuanhai said with a smile.
The two are already old friends, and even greeting each other is very relaxed.
After entering the living room, Hu Chuanhai first asked someone to serve tea, and then he handed over his hands and said: "I am not so casual here, I will call you Brother Chi."
