Liang Yunrong's attack was beyond Su Cheng's expectation. It was the first time he saw his mother-in-law take action, and it was so powerful.
Returning to his tent, Su Cheng couldn't help but start to ponder the words of his mother-in-law, who was highly skilled in martial arts.
Before he arrived in Kyoto, he was attacked on the road. If he went to Kyoto, he didn't know what he would encounter.
Although he doesn't like to practice martial arts, if he doesn't have the ability to protect himself at this time, if something happens in the future, he can't always rely on his wife to take action.
"Madam, teach me how to practice martial arts when you have time." Su Cheng suddenly said while holding Shen Youwei.
Shen Youwei blinked: "Really? Practicing martial arts is very hard. Are you sure you want to practice?"
Su Cheng nodded: "I hope to become a very powerful master, but I must have some ability to protect myself."
"This is what you said, you are not allowed to complain in the future!"
"Don't worry, I'm serious this time."
As they spoke, the voice gradually became quieter, the lights in the camp were extinguished, and the two began to rest.
After an uneventful night, the next morning came. The Shen family and their servants began to pack their things and prepare to leave. At this moment, the sound of horse hooves was heard in the distance.
Everyone looked up and saw Liu Changfeng riding his horse, followed by a middle-aged man wearing a county magistrate's uniform and twenty government officials.
When he came to the crowd, the county magistrate glanced at them, and then focused on Su Cheng, who was wearing purple brocade clothes: "May I ask if this is the Marquis of Wu'an?"
Su Cheng nodded: "This is me, you are the county magistrate here, right? What do you call me?"
"Your Majesty, Li Gaocen, has met Marquis Wu'an!" The county magistrate quickly saluted Su Cheng.
"Master Li, there is no need to be polite. Liu Changfeng must have told you about the matter. The bodies of these people are here. Please lead someone to bury them." Su Cheng didn't waste any words and pointed to the corpses in the distance. said.
Magistrate Li took a look at the corpses over there and found that there were more than thirty. His face changed greatly and he looked embarrassed.
Su Cheng raised his eyebrows: "What, does County Magistrate Li have a problem?"
Logically speaking, a county magistrate would not dare to disobey his order when it comes to burying corpses, but looking at what County Magistrate Li meant, he was actually a little reluctant?
A mere small county magistrate actually dared to go against his will. Su Cheng was very curious!
Magistrate Li smiled bitterly: "Master Hou, how dare I go against your will? It's just that so many people have died here, I can't bear it."
"You also know that there are assessments every year. If this matter is spread to the higher authorities, the official's future career will be ruined. Please save the official!"
Su Cheng frowned when he heard this.
At this time, Tian Dazhuang from behind asked He Changsheng in a low voice: "What does this guy mean? Why can't I understand it?"
He Changsheng explained helplessly: "Every year, the Chief Secretary inspects and inspects the achievements of the officials below. So many people died here this time. If the Chief Secretary knows that so many people died here, what will Magistrate Li do in the future?" There is no hope of promotion."
Tian Dazhuang was stunned: "What does this have to do with County Magistrate Li? It's not his faction."
He Changsheng shook his head: "Think about it, this is a place governed by County Magistrate Li, but these dead men can attack a marquis here, and he can't find the mastermind behind it. Is this a conspiracy?" An unsolved case? As long as it is an unsolved case, Mr. Li's promotion path will be cut off."
When everyone heard this, they suddenly realized.
Of course, Su Cheng understood what Mr. Li was thinking after he finished speaking. This is the tragedy of little people. A small thing can make the other person stagnant for a lifetime.
If Su Cheng didn't take action in this matter, Mr. Li would really suffer a disaster.
Perhaps, this is a real fight between gods and mortals suffer!
Looking at Magistrate Li with a wry smile, Su Changcheng sighed: "Looking at your age, it's not easy to reach this point. This matter is indeed caused by me. I can't implicate you. Just tell me.
, how can I help you."
Magistrate Li's eyes lit up: "This matter is an easy matter for Mr. Hou. All you need to do is write a letter explaining the matter clearly to me, the Chief Secretary of Jiangdong Province, and report the matter to the Ministry of Punishment.
"
Su Cheng nodded slightly when he heard this, and wrote to the Chief Secretary to explain the situation, so that the Chief Secretary could understand the whole story and not cause any trouble to County Magistrate Li.
But he didn't understand why he had to report it to the Ministry of Punishments.
"Report to the Ministry of Punishment? Why is this?" Su Cheng asked.
Magistrate Li gave a wry smile: "Master Hou, if there is such a big case of more than 30 people being killed at one time, and they are still dead men, shouldn't the Ministry of Punishment know about it? And if the Ministry of Punishment knows about it, they will send people down to investigate.
This case is not handled by the official."
Su Cheng finally understood that if he wanted to prevent the case from becoming an unsolved case, someone must investigate it!
If people from the Criminal Department come down to investigate the case, even if nothing is found in the case, Magistrate Li will not be blamed for the matter.
What's more, if one of his marquises goes to the Ministry of Punishment to talk about this matter in person, he will definitely say a few good words for Magistrate Li. By then, Magistrate Li will have nothing to do with this matter.
It has to be said that County Magistrate Li really has a lot of tricks up his sleeve, and he got out of this matter in just a few words.
"I understand. If you come, I will serve you with pen and ink!"
Soon, Tian Dazhuang came over with pen, ink, paper and inkstone, and Su Cheng immediately wrote a letter to the Chief Secretary of Jiangdong Province. In the letter, he recounted what happened last night and also put in a few good words for Magistrate Li.
He handed the letter to County Magistrate Li: "Okay, take this letter. As for the Ministry of Punishment, I will explain it myself."
County Magistrate Li took the letter with a smile on his face and quickly thanked him: "Thank you, Lord Marquis, thank you Lord Marquis!"
"Okay, if there's nothing else, I'll leave this to you. I have to rush to Kyoto!"
"Farewell, Lord Marquis!" Magistrate Li led the government officials to send off Su Cheng and others.
Soon, Su Cheng and the Shen family left in large numbers. Only when they disappeared, did County Magistrate Li lead the government officials to dispose of the bodies of the dead soldiers.
On the carriage, Shen Youwei asked with a puzzled look on her face: "Ms. sir, that county magistrate is so cunning, why did you agree to him?"
Shen Youwei didn't like the attitude of County Magistrate Li very much. He just acted as if he wouldn't dispose of the body if Su Cheng didn't agree to write the letter.
If Chunhua Qiuyue hadn't stopped her, she would have reprimanded County Magistrate Li just now!
Su Cheng shook his head, took Shen Youwei's hand and said, "After all, this incident happened because of me. I don't want to cause trouble to others. I just wrote a letter. It's not a big deal to me."
"Okay, let's not talk about this anymore. You can teach me how to practice martial arts."
Where can one practice martial arts in a carriage? This was obviously Su Cheng's excuse to change the subject. Shen Youwei rolled her eyes at him and stopped asking about what happened just now.
But what Su Cheng didn't know was that this assassination case would actually spread!
