Chapter 213 Not at All Scared

Two lives were lost in the county town recently. Xu Yi suddenly felt bad after hearing the news.

As the largest county in Beizhou, Chaoyang County is complex and has deep factions.

As the Yamen magistrate responsible for public security management in Chaoyang County, Xu Yi lived a life of fear and fear, walking on thin ice.

Especially after the arrival of the new governor, the conflict with the original captain of Chaoyang County gradually deepened, and his already poor life as a county magistrate became increasingly difficult.

In a place like Chaoyang County, one brick could hit several powerful people.

Xu Yi is just a county magistrate who is responsible for the daily order of the county and handling of cases. He is naturally cautious and careful, for fear that something will happen or that he will offend a certain powerful child.

Since the arrival of the eunuch, the situation in the county has changed.

The fight above is life-and-death, and the people below also suffer.

These people need to follow suit.

Once you fail to stand up properly, the consequences will be disastrous and your career will almost come to an end.

As the county magistrate of the county town Yamen, Xu Yi naturally has a deeper understanding.

His position is not important at all. Even if it is not important, it should not be underestimated.

Although his position is not very big, it is crucial.

Naturally, he was the first to bear the brunt and received the attention of the big shots above.

For Xu Yi, it is difficult for him to make a choice.

Especially at this critical moment, he is even more cautious and cautious.

Therefore, when there was sudden news of an unprovoked murder in the county town, he realized something was wrong.

as expected.

Only when the news of the death of the two commoners came back to the Yamen, people from the Zhou family came.

Someone from the Zhou family came and brought orders from Mr. Zhou. He was asked to severely punish the murderer, and he also attached clues about the murderer's origins...

If this guy says it has nothing to do with the Zhou family, who will believe it?

Thinking with your toes, you can understand that this murder must be related to Mr. Zhou.

This Mr. Zhou... he couldn't afford to offend.

To be precise, it was Mr. Zhou's father. He couldn't afford to offend him.

Therefore, when the news about Mr. Zhou came, Xu Yi had an idea.

He knows what to do!

As for how those two common people died, it's not important and no one cares.

It doesn't matter whether the murderer is Li Beifeng or not.

The important thing is, if the Zhou family says who the murderer is, then it must be who the murderer is!

Xu Yi knows this very well.

This is the way of survival that he, as a county magistrate, has figured out over the years in the county town.

All in all, one word!

Grasp!

Catch the murderer!

If there are clues about who the murderer is, catch him!

Li Beifeng?

Grasp!

So, with a wave of his hand, Xu Yi ordered the people from the Yamen to arrest him.

However, the arrest was in vain.

I thought that Li Beifeng had absconded and was about to issue a wanted order.

Take it, that Li Beifeng actually came to your door and surrendered?

Xu Yi has been a county magistrate for so many years and has seen many vicious criminals.

But this is the first time I've seen someone voluntarily surrender like this.

take things too hard?

However, based on the principle of caution, Xu Yi went to investigate Li Beifeng's origins in advance.

Soon, the investigation was clear.

Li Beifeng, a foreigner. Where exactly it came from is unknown.

Since he is a foreigner, Xu Yi is relieved.

Foreigners are naturally not children of powerful people. Even if you are a powerful person, it will not work in the county.

Xu Yi quickly figured it out.

Although I don't know how Li Beifeng offended Mr. Zhou, since all the clues to the murder point to him.

Then, he is the murderer!

Deal with him!

Therefore, Xu Yi was brought to trial quickly, intending to quickly understand the murder case.

But what Xu Yi never expected was that he originally thought it was just a murder case that would be solved soon.

But as soon as this Li Beifeng appeared, he was so... unbridled!

He didn't take the county magistrate seriously at all!

The murder suspect didn't kneel down when he saw him?

What kind of Dazhao law are you talking to him about?

Doesn't this challenge his majesty?

I have been pretending to be a grandson in the county town for a long time. How can I be bullied by an ordinary citizen?

Xu Yi became famous at that time!

He stared at Li Beifeng coldly and waved his hand: "Come here, give him ten big blows!"

As soon as he finished speaking, the government servant next to him came forward.

"Ah!"

Li Beifeng glanced coldly at the two government officials behind him.

The two government officials who had just stepped forward were suddenly shocked by Li Beifeng's eyes for some reason, and felt an inexplicable chill all over their bodies.

For a moment, the two of them didn't dare to come forward.

A little weird!

"It's really a great experience. It turns out that this is the ability of a dignified county magistrate. It's so majestic!"

Li Beifeng sneered: "Magistrate Xu has violated the law like this. If the prefect finds out, I wonder how he will feel?!"

Xu Yi's expression changed.

This kid actually brought out the prefect to suppress him? !

This made him even more furious.

"You have no respect for the king, you despise the yamen and the official, and you dare to slander the official. Your crime will be increased!"

Xu Yi said coldly.

Li Beifeng said calmly: "When did I despise the Yamen and you, sir? When did I slander you again?"

"If you don't kneel before me, what else is that but contempt for me? You still dare to quibble?!"

Xu Yi asked coldly.

Li Beifeng said calmly: "Then, I would like to ask you, which law in the Dazhao Law stipulates that you must kneel before you see me?"

At this moment, the surroundings were quiet.

The other yamen runners present were stunned.

Looking at Li Beifeng in front of him with disbelief... This guy, he really dares to say that?

It's fine if you don't kneel before the county magistrate, but you actually...refute?

Is he crazy?

Xu Yi's face was gloomy.

The man in front of him provoked him again and again.

Dazhao Law?

Is Dazhao Law the only thing in his eyes!

"Kneeling before me is natural...If you don't kneel, you don't take me seriously, and I have the right to punish you."

Xu Yi said coldly.

Li Beifeng smiled.

"Sir, I think... you may have misunderstood a little!"

"There seems to be no provision in the Dazhao law that the people must kneel when they see officials!"

Li Beifeng looked at Xu Yi calmly.

In the past, in order to exploit loopholes in the law, Li Beifeng specially found the laws of the Dazhao Dynasty to study.

He worked hard and could not say that he could recite it by heart, but he did find a lot of loopholes in the Dazhao law.

When it comes to legal knowledge, Li Beifeng is not afraid!

He just wants to see whether the county magistrate in front of him will be corrupt and pervert the law.

"Nonsense!"

Xu Yi was a little furious: "It is natural for civilians to kneel to me. You dare to talk nonsense, damn it!"

"Sir, if you don't believe it, you can go and look through the Dazhao law. If you don't have it, I can lend you a copy!" Li Beifeng said calmly.

"You..."

Xu Yi was furious.

What does he mean?

Is he mocking himself?

Does the Dazhao Law have such a provision?

...Xu Yi really doesn't know clearly.

Who would remember this for nothing? !

Are you bored?

It is natural and reasonable for the people to kneel before the officials?

Who among the common people would not kneel when seeing an official... Everyone is like this, why are you the only one who is special?

Xu Yi can see that this guy in front of him... is indeed a little difficult to deal with.

Even a little tricky!

If he was not worried about leaving a handle, he would have sent someone to teach this kid a lesson.

This kid is a little difficult to deal with. If he continues to entangle with him, he will only suffer.

So, Xu Yi's eyes gradually turned cold, and he said in a deep voice: "I will not bother with these details with you, Li Beifeng, do you know your crime?"

Li Beifeng smiled: "What crime have I committed?"

"The night before yesterday, you killed two innocent people on the west street of the county city... Do you plead guilty?"

"No!"

Li Beifeng said calmly: "Sir, do you have evidence when you say I killed someone? If there is no evidence, you are slandering me... I don't agree with this!"

"Slander you?"

Xu Yi sneered and waved his hand: "Come on, show me the evidence!"

At this time, the yamen runner next to him brought a plate of things.

Opening it, a dagger and a torn sleeve were quietly placed on the plate.

"This dagger, is it yours?"

Xu Yi said coldly.

Li Beifeng glanced at it and understood what was going on in his heart.

He said calmly: "It's mine."

"This clothing, is it yours too?" Xu Yi asked again.

Li Beifeng nodded: "That's right."

"These two things were found next to the deceased, and they are yours. The evidence is solid, what else do you want to say?" Xu Yi stared at Li Beifeng and said coldly.

These two things are indeed Li Beifeng's.

However, these things were left in Li Beifeng's room.

Obviously, someone has entered his room.

However... this method of framing is a bit too superficial, right?

Li Beifeng smiled: "Sir, you can't conclude that I am the murderer just because of these two things?"

"I knew you wouldn't plead guilty!"

Xu Yi waved his hand, "Come on, show me the witness!"

Then, a figure came in from outside the door.

This is a young man who looks a bit wretched.

He walked to the hall and knelt on the ground with a plop: "Greetings, sir!"

"Get up!" Xu Yi looked at him coldly: "Who is this person?"

"Sir, I am a temporary worker living in the west of the city, named Ergou."

Xu Yi pointed at Li Beifeng: "Do you know him?"

Ergou turned around, and when he saw Li Beifeng, his eyes suddenly became extremely terrified: "You... it's you!"

Xu Yi's eyes suddenly condensed: "Do you know him?"

"He, he is..."

Ergou's voice began to stutter.

"Tell the truth, I'll make the decision for you!"

"He, he killed someone..."

Ergou pointed at Li Beifeng, trembling, with a look of extreme fear: "Just the night before yesterday, I was on my way home, passing by the alley in the west of the city, and I saw him... He ran out covered in blood. Then, he ran away!"

Xu Yi sneered: "Are you sure?"

"I am sure, absolutely sure... It's him, I will never make a mistake!"

"Li Beifeng, do you have anything else to say?"

Xu Yi turned around and stared at Li Beifeng: "There are witnesses and evidence, what else do you have to explain?"

Li Beifeng looked at the young man who accused him and chuckled.

Interesting!

He lied with his eyes open!

He made something out of nothing!

He was even better than him!

"Sir, I have a few questions for him!"

Li Beifeng said, looking back at Ergou, and said, "You said you saw me the night before yesterday?"

"No, that's right..."

Ergou's eyes were filled with fear, as if he was really frightened by Li Beifeng the night before yesterday.

Acting skills at the level of an actor.

Li Beifeng smiled, "Then do you remember what I was wearing the night before yesterday?"

"This..."

Ergou hesitated, but soon said, "I, I don't remember... I was so scared at the time that I didn't have time to look... I didn't look carefully."

"Since you didn't look carefully, how could you recognize it as me?" Li Beifeng continued to ask.

"I, I have a deep impression of you, it's you... you killed the person!"

Ergou pointed at Li Beifeng: "I saw it with my own eyes, you came out of the alley covered in blood... and then, then I saw the dead man!"

Li Beifeng raised his eyebrows: "When did you see me?"

"It was... around the hour of Hai..."

"Are you sure?"

"Sure, I remember it clearly!" Ergou gritted his teeth.

A gleam of light flashed in Li Beifeng's eyes.

Then, he turned around and looked at the adults: "My lord, he is lying!"

Xu Yi stared at Li Beifeng with cold eyes: "What evidence do you have?"

"The night before yesterday at the hour of Hai, I was not at the entrance of any alley at all, he is lying!"

Xu Yi stared at Li Beifeng coldly.

It doesn't matter whether this witness speaks or not.

No one even knows whether he is a witness or not.

For Xu Yi, what he needs most now is to solve the trouble in front of him.

But the Li Beifeng in front of him is obviously not so easy to deal with.

"What proof do you have that you are not at the entrance of the alley!" Xu Yi looked at him.

"Because..."

Li Beifeng glanced at the county magistrate in front of him and chuckled: "The night before yesterday, I was in Qingxiang Tower!"

Xu Yi continued to ask: "What were you doing in Qingxiang Tower?"

Li Beifeng said lightly: "What else can I do in Qingxiang Tower... Don't you know, sir?"

Xu Yi was stunned, and then he reacted.

What is Qingxiang Tower?

That is the most famous brothel in the county.

What can a normal man do in such a place?

It can't be to study, right?

Xu Yi frowned, feeling that something was wrong.

This young man seemed a little too cunning.

"You said you were in Qingxiang Tower the night before yesterday?" The county magistrate stared at Li Beifeng.

"That's right!"

"Who can testify!"

"A girl in Qingxiang Tower can testify!"

"Who?"

"A girl named Murong Die!"

Li Beifeng spoke slowly.

When Li Beifeng saw the false witness in front of him, he changed his mind.

"Murong Die?"

When he heard this name, Xu Yi's pupils showed a trace of shock.

"You said... you were with Miss Murong the night before last!" Xu Yi stared at Li Beifeng with disbelief in his eyes.

"That's right!"

Li Beifeng nodded.

He wanted to borrow the power of Miss Murong that night...

Li Beifeng believed that she would understand.

Even if she didn't understand, she could create enough opportunities for Li Beifeng.

As long as the county magistrate in front of him didn't mess around, Li Beifeng was confident that he could clear the suspicion on himself.

If he messed around... then Li Beifeng would not be polite.

Xu Yi's expression was uncertain in an instant. After thinking for a long time, he looked gloomy and glanced at the yamen runner next to him.

"Go to Qingxiang Tower and invite Miss Murong to come, and say that she needs her cooperation in a murder case!"

"Yes!"

"..."
