Chapter 263 There Are Differences Between County Kings

Linhai County Government.

Wu Chengsi, Zhuge Sanyuan and Xu Wenqing came to the side hall under the leadership of a government servant. After waiting for a while, Wang Captou came out.

After what happened to Li Wen, the county government chief no longer dared to show off his authority.

In particular, he also heard that Xu Wenqing was the daughter of Chang Shi, so Wu Chengsi who was traveling with her must not be an ordinary person.

"I wonder how many of you came to see Mr. Wang. Do you have anything to tell me?" Mr. Wang said, cupping his hands.

Wu Chengsi said: "I want to know the cause of Wu Wei's death."

Wang Captou stretched out his hand to invite the four of them to sit down, and sighed: "Someone poisoned the tea he drank, or it was a very powerful poison. Mr. Wu died immediately after drinking the tea."

"Who brought him tea?" Wu Chengsi asked again.

Wang Captou frowned and said: "He is a servant of the male residence. We have arrested him and tortured him all night. Unfortunately, the boy refused to say anything."

Wu Chengsi raised his eyebrows and said, "Have you obtained the evidence that he did it? Or is it that he has already admitted it?"

"That's not true. If there was evidence, we would have convicted him long ago, so why would he be tortured?"

"In this case, how can we rashly carry out lynching?" Wu Chengsi said in a deep voice.

Capt. Wang grinned and said: "This young master must not know much about how to handle cases. If the servant is really the murderer, how could he confess on his own if you don't torture him?"

"What if he is not the murderer?" Xu Wenqing interjected.

"Then just let him go. Don't worry, we are very measured in our actions and will never torture him to death." Wang Captou was quite proud.

Xu Wenqing frowned and snorted: "You guys are going too far."

Wang Captou waved his hand and said: "Young lady, I have never seen those extremely vicious criminals. If you don't use some thunderous means, you can't suppress those villains and criminals."

Zhuge Sanyuan narrowed his eyes and said: "In other words, when you handle the case, you find a suspect, torture him, and if he is not the murderer, let him go, then search for the next suspect and continue the torture, right?"

"Yamen handle cases this way, is there any problem?" Wang Patou said coldly. His attitude towards Zhuge Sanyuan was obviously worse.

Zhuge Sanyuan was not angry at all, he smiled and said: "No problem." e]

Wu Chengsi asked again: "Who did Wu Wei meet before he died, or did he do anything special?"

Wang Captou smiled and said: "Your question is the key point. We also thought that Mr. Wu Nan's death may be related to this, so we investigated and found that he met Miss Xu at the "Hao Zai Lai" Inn before his death.

And Mr. Li."

After saying that, he stood up, bowed to Xu Wenqing, and said: "It is for this reason that we went to find the two of you. In fact, we have no other intentions. Please forgive me for any offense. Please also ask the girl to take the place of the little one."

I apologize to Mr. Li."

Xu Wenqing nodded and said, "Since that's the case, I don't blame you."

Wang Captou thought to himself: "This bitch, don't you know that my key point is the last sentence?" However, it was difficult to force her to say good things for him, so he had to thank her dryly.

Wu Chengsi said: "Aside from Miss Xu and Mr. Li, did Wu Wei meet anyone before his death?"

Wang Captou said without hesitation: "No more."

Wu Chengsi stood up and said with a smile: "That's all I want to ask you. Thank you very much. I'll take my leave."

After leaving the county government office, it was already noon and the sun was shining brightly.

Walking on the street, Zhuge Sanyuan suddenly said: "Sir, the last words of the arrester were lies."

Xu Wenqing was surprised and said: "A lie?"

The old man nodded and said: "Usually when hearing that kind of question, a normal person would think about it before answering, but he answered without hesitation that he didn't. He obviously wanted to hide something."

Wu Chengsi smiled and said: "I can also see this. This is called not asking for trouble. There must be something wrong with the person who asked him to conceal it."

Zhuge Sanyuan smiled and said: "This case may be easier than imagined."

Wu Chengsi also smiled: "It seems that Mr. Zhu already has a suspect?"

"Young Master must have suspected that person for a long time, right?"

Xu Wenqing on the side was confused and asked: "Who are you talking about?"

Wu Chengsi said: "Let's talk about it after we go back to the inn."

Back at the Haozai Lai Inn, the four of them gathered in Wu Chengsi's guest room. Xu Wenqing asked again: "Master Wu, can you talk now?"

Wu Chengsi nodded and said clearly: "If I guessed correctly, the person who killed Wu Wei was King Fan Yang, Li Ai!"

Xu Wenqing was shocked and lost his voice: "How could it be him?"

Seeing that Wu Chengsi agreed with his guess, Zhuge Sanyuan said with a smile: "Yesterday, I found it strange that Wu Wei had a fifth-grade title, and his death should be a big event, but the person responsible for the case turned out to be the county police chief.

, this is very unreasonable.”

Wu Chengsi nodded and said, "Furthermore, despite Ms. Xu's many questions yesterday, the arrester refused to reveal the details of the case. This is not just because he is domineering, but because someone told him not to publicize the case at will."

Xu Wenqing said in a daze: "Yuan, is that so?"

"I wonder who in Linhai County can suppress Wu Wei's case?"

Xu Wenqing said: "Maybe he is a senior official in the governor's office."

Wu Chengsi shook his head: "Wu Wei and Li Ai are friends. If the governor or chief minister harmed him, King Fan Yang would never sit idly by and ignore it. However, up to now, King Fan Yang still has not shown up, so this is the only thing left.

A possibility."

Xu Wenqing asked: "But aren't they good friends? Why would he do this?"

Wu Chengsi raised his eyebrows and said: "This is exactly the crux of the problem. I believe that Wu Wei and Li Ai are drifting apart not just because Wu Wei broke his leg, but there must have been something different between them.

What's going on."

"What is it?"

"I don't know yet."

"Then what do we do now?"

"We can't do anything now." Wu Chengsi said solemnly.

"Why?"

Wu Chengsi said in a deep voice: "If the murderer behind the scenes is really Li Ai, the head catcher just now must have told him about our questioning. This is his territory, and he will definitely send people to keep an eye on us, so we must not act rashly now.

"

"Then let's ask Governor Wang and Mr. Li for help?" Xu Wenqing said hurriedly.

Zhuge Sanyuan smiled and said: "Little girl, do you think Wang Zuoquan doesn't know about such a big thing?"

Xu Wenqing quipped: "Could it be that he...he is also in the same group as King Fan Yang?"

Zhuge Sanyuan smiled and said: "That's not true, but he should be aware of this matter and just turn a blind eye."

"Well, what about Duke Shen? Can we go find him?"

"He and Li Ai are both members of the royal family. Li Ai is his cousin by seniority. Even if he knew about it, he would only protect Li Ai." Zhuge Sanyuan shook his head.

Xu Wenqing lowered his eyes and said: "We can't defeat a county prince, otherwise, let's leave Linhai County."

After speaking, he secretly glanced at Wu Chengsi.

Wu Chengsi smiled slightly and said: "Then if we also have a county prince here, do you think we can beat the opponent?"

Xu Wenqing was half astonished and half surprised, and asked: "Who is the county prince you are talking about?"

Wu Chengsi smiled slightly and said: "Miss Xu, actually my surname is not Wu, my surname is Wu, and my name is Wu Chengsi. I came to Taizhou this time to investigate a matter of testing medicine on living people."

Xu Wenqing's head buzzed, and he felt dizzy.

Unexpectedly, the person she was looking for was always by her side, which made her wonder if she was dreaming.

The reeds on the side were also stunned.

"Wait a minute, if you are really King Changping, why didn't you want to see me in Chang'an?" Xu Wenqing said suddenly.

Wu Chengsi glanced at her sideways and said angrily: "You were deceived. What you went to was not my palace at all."

Xu Wenqing blushed and defended: "I have never been to Chang'an City, so how would I know where your mansion is!"

She had seen the attitude of the governor of Shangzhou when he met Wu Chengsi before, so she did not doubt his words. She even felt that only someone with Wu Chengsi's status could make the governor of a state so respectful.pace]

"I...I'm going back to the room." Xu Wenqing suddenly stood up and said.

Wu Chengsi was stunned and said, "Don't you believe me?"

"Believe it."

"Then why are you leaving? Why don't you ask me what I'm waiting for?" Wu Chengsi asked curiously.

Xu Wenqing smiled and said: "I don't need to ask, I believe you can punish King Fan Yang." After that, he took Lu Wei and left the room.

Wu Chengsi touched his nose. He really didn't expect that Xu Wenqing would react like this after revealing his identity.

In Xu Wenqing's room.

Lu Wei said strangely: "Miss, don't you believe Mr. Wu's identity? I think what he said should be true!"

Xu Wenqing rubbed his eyes and said, "Didn't you still suspect that he was a bad person before? How did he change so quickly?"

Lu Wei blushed and said, "I was mistaken before!"

Xu Wenqing walked to the bed and said with a smile: "You are not stupid enough."

Lu Wei blinked and said: "So, Miss, do you also believe Mr. Wu... Wu?"

"I suspected that he was a prince at first. Why don't I believe it?"

"Then why did you come back suddenly?" Lu Wei asked puzzled.

"If you don't come back, what are you doing here?" Xu Wenqing glared.

"We can help the county prince with suggestions!" Lu Wei said in a serious tone.

Xu Wenqing stared at Reed and suddenly couldn't help laughing and bent over.

Lu Wei naturally saw that his daughter was laughing at him, pouted, sat down on the chair, and turned the back of his head towards Xu Wenqing.

Seeing that she was angry, Xu Wenqing said softly: "Lu Wei, if he is really King Changping, it will be easy to deal with King Fan Yang, and there is no need for us to make suggestions."

Lu Wei turned his head and asked doubtfully: "Aren't they all county princes? Moreover, this is King Fan Yang's territory. Mr. Wu should be at a disadvantage, right?"

Xu Wenqing explained with a smile: "Although he is the same county king as Li Ai, he is the most popular and powerful county king in the court. Li Ai is just a local county king with no position and no power. The difference between the two is huge.

."

Lu Wei nodded in understanding and said softly: "Then we don't have to worry about it?" At this moment, a heavy look of fatigue appeared in her eyes.

Xu Wenqing stood up and walked to her side, gently touched her shoulder, and said softly: "Good Luwei, we don't have to worry anymore. You can go back to your room and have a good rest."

Along the way, she and Lu Wei depended on each other, running around without relaxing for a moment, and they all relied on one breath to hold on.

Until now, they could feel a little relieved.

Not long after, the two of them fell asleep in their own rooms.

After a day like this, Linhai County has completely returned to calm. The news of Wu Wei's death seemed to have been cut off and did not spread in the city.
