To say that he is really unlucky, I think this Yun County has always been a peaceful place. Not to mention murder cases, even petty thefts are rare. But this time he not only encountered it, but also encountered such a troublesome deceased.

…

Magistrate Zhang thought this way, and his enthusiasm for investigating the case was mostly extinguished.

On the other hand, the young lady from the Zhou family just now was unexpectedly quite a pretty beauty...

Thinking of some rumors about Chen Zongxian...

Magistrate Zhang was thinking wildly when he heard a government official from outside come in and announce, "Sir, the student named Su Xingzhi has been brought here. Do you want to summon him now?"

Magistrate Zhang frowned slightly, "He's the only one?"

"yes."

Magistrate Zhang and the master looked at each other and said, "Please come in."

After a while, a young man with a handsome face and a bamboo body walked in with a boy.

Su Heng bowed his hands and said, "Students pay their respects to Mr. Zhang."

Magistrate Zhang looked at him coldly, and when he saw that the young man was saying hello, but there was no humility and awe in his brows as when others saw him, he immediately snorted and said in a strange tone, "If I don't remember,

Wrong, it should be you and your wife who were summoned earlier, right?"

Su Heng didn't seem to hear the displeasure in his words at all, and said warmly, "My wife is in a weak body. She took a long bath in the hot springs for fun, and she has not been feeling well since she came back... I am afraid that the illness will stain my eyes.

I apologize for the inconvenience of coming here today."

Magistrate Zhang was already unhappy, and when he heard this, he became even more angry. He sneered, "What an inconvenience to come here... You are here to chat with you as an official. If you want to see me, you can see me. If you don't want to, you can see me."

No! I’m telling you the truth: what happened in this house is a murder case! Before the case comes to light, every one of you is a suspect! You will all be subject to my interrogation!”

"Especially today, you and your wife have been staying in the back mountain for a long time during the day. It is very possible that-" Magistrate Zhang's impassioned voice suddenly stopped, and he looked down at the banknote handed over by Qingfeng.

"Sir," Su Heng said slowly while he was studying the banknotes, "Today the student and his wife went to the mountain hot spring to bathe. During the period, the servant reported back that a distant cousin passed by here. The student went down the mountain to meet him.

They talked for about two-quarters of an hour. After seeing off their cousin, they went back to the mountain with their maid Bai Tan... When the students arrived, my wife fell asleep due to a long soak in the hot springs, so the students immediately carried her down the mountain, which lasted no more than half an hour.

——Many servants in the house can testify to this matter."

"As for my wife," Su Heng clenched her fists in her sleeves and said calmly, "First she stayed with the maid Bai Tan, then Mrs. Zhou went and Bai Tan went down the mountain...until the student picked her up, there was no gap in between.

For just three-quarters of an hour, she spent at least half of that time with others... If Chen Langjun's danger was indeed not a natural disaster but a man-made disaster - it could never have anything to do with our couple."

Magistrate Zhang looked at the denomination on the bank note and pretended to think deeply, "What you said does make sense, but your suspicion can be ruled out, but Madam..." He glanced at Su Heng's expression, "

If your ladyship met the deceased when she was alone, you might not know——"

"Sir!" Su Heng interrupted with a frown, "Not to mention that these are all your assumptions. I'm just saying that Neizi is just a weak female. Do you really think that she can bring a man to the top of the mountain in just a quarter of an hour?

And pushed him down from above? What's more, Chen Langjun is not a fool. He knew that others were going to harm him, so he allowed himself to be manipulated by a woman whose height and strength were far inferior to his own, and he lost his life because of it?" Su Heng said coldly.

, "There is nothing so funny in the world."

Seeing that what he said was reasonable and well-founded, County Magistrate Zhang knew that he would not be able to raise the price again, and the amount was quite satisfactory, so he slowly opened his mouth to test, "Since you said so,

Chisel, then what are you—"

Su Heng's face turned pale, "I'll be honest with you, sir - the student went out this time without telling the family, and secretly took his wife out to enjoy the sights... If the family knew that our couple was involved in a human life lawsuit, they would have to punish the student."

…So I have to ask you, sir, for your convenience.”

County Magistrate Zhang saw that he was full of aristocrats, and he really looked like an idle gentleman from a wealthy family. He thought it was just a favor, so he waved his hand and said, "Don't worry, I will not tolerate a bad person, let alone

You will catch a wrong person. As long as it is found out that you have nothing to do with Chen Langjun falling off the cliff, I will make this convenient for you." As he said this, he stuffed the banknotes into his sleeves.

Su Heng's eyes flashed with sarcasm, and he cupped his hands and said, "Your Excellency handles cases like a god, so I'll thank you in advance."

Magistrate Zhang gave a faint "hmm" and then said in an official tone, "But there are some issues that need to be explained by Madam Su herself..."

Su Heng paused for a moment, "Of course." He said warmly, "When my wife feels better tomorrow, the student will personally take her to the Yamen to explain everything."

………………………………

The house was still brightly lit.

Qingfeng walked in front holding a lantern.

He still hasn't woken up from the stormy waves of this day.

"I originally thought that since I didn't see my second cousin in the academy, I would just let it go and wait until I got back from my friend's house to get together with my second cousin... But I heard someone from the academy said that my second cousin and my second cousin's sister-in-law were staying at this person's house.

…”

"...There was a sensational scandal that happened in our place - a nunnery that was supposed to have magical effects on children, but secretly was actually doing the business of enchanting women and providing rape to wealthy children with special hobbies. Those

The women were cowardly, and even if they found out that they had been raped later, they would not dare to tell them. Some people even became pregnant with the child of the rapist after being bullied, which made the nunnery even more famous, and the women who went to beg for a child

There was an endless stream...until one time, a woman's husband accidentally broke into the scandal, and this scandal was revealed...The one who was caught at that time was the son of a merchant named Chen Zongxian."

"...His family has been in business since his ancestors, and the family wealth is very rich. In the end, his father came forward and bribed the government and the woman's husband, and the scandal was covered up... But even if it is like this, there are still

Some people who knew the inside story... it didn't take long for their family to move to other provinces... Now I heard someone mention this person, and every aspect is very consistent with the Chen Zongxian I know - this person is quite talented, speaks well, and seems to

He looks like a noble man, but inside he is a beast in disguise who is full of male thieves and female prostitutes..."
