Chapter 200: Death
When the county master heard what Mu Ran said, he was taken aback, as if he couldn't believe what Mu Ran said no matter what, so he just widened his eyes in disbelief and asked, "How did you hang yourself in a good way, didn't you promise that the master would protect him well and give him enough silver?" For some reason, when the county master heard the news that Mu Ran said, for a moment, his face was extremely pale, as if he had heard something that made him almost collapse, but he muttered to himself almost dementedly, "Why is it just gone?"
Mu Ran looked at the county master coldly, but he didn't say anything, but he went to the cell with the county master, and sure enough, he saw the master hanging high in the cell, his face was blue, his face was hideous, it seemed that he had been dead for a long time, and there were already a lot of people gathered in the cell, but the originally quiet and dark place was full of noise at the moment, not only the jailers, but also the prisoners in the cell were also pointing at the master hanging from the height at this moment, as if they couldn't believe that such a thing would happen, but the county master seemed to be unable to hide the angry look on his face, and couldn't help but reprimand"Didn't you tell a few of you to keep watch, how did such a thing happen and no one found out!"
After speaking, he looked up at the master, with a sad look on his face, and his brows were tightly locked, which was a completely different expression from the past, and the county master's appearance naturally fell clearly into Mu Ran's eyes, although she didn't say anything, just looked at the county master with an indifferent expression, and called people to see the master carried down, although the master had been hung for a long time, but he was already dead when he was discovered, and he didn't dare to move, even Chi Bi, who had arrived a long time ago, didn't dare to say more. Only those who can only make decisions can make decisions when Mu Ran comes. Only then did I know most clearly how the master died, and whether he committed suicide or not.
And after Mu Ran examined the corpse of the master. Just like what everyone thought, the expression on her face still didn't change much, but her eyebrows were slightly raised, and she pondered for a moment before finally saying, "Master did commit suicide and died." And so it was, and everyone was in an uproar. No one understands, it is clear that he agreed to the master's request, how can the master still think about it like this, however. Mu Ran frowned and looked at the master for a long time, she naturally knew that things were naturally not so simple, and after thinking about it for a long time, she finally spoke slowly. "Master, have you been in contact with any unusual people before?"
When the officials who were originally guarding the cell heard Mu Ran say this, they all looked at each other, and they didn't even know anything, after all, it happened suddenly. They were all loyal to their duties, and they had never seen any ill-intentioned people approaching the master, how could they know what was going on!? And Mu Ran looked at the faces of these officials who were so at a loss, thought about it, and didn't say anything, just called them to drag the master out for burial, and as soon as Mu Ran said this, it made Chi Bi beside him widen his eyes, and couldn't help asking, "Now that the master is dying strangely, don't you need to examine it carefully?" It's just a hasty burial.,What if you miss any clues!?
It's just that Mu Ran listened to Chi Bi's words, but he just shook his head, and said expressionlessly, "I checked before, he didn't leave anything, although I don't know why the master committed suicide, it's just that the time when he committed suicide, and the way he died, there is no clue, I think about it, I can't find anything on the master's body, it's better to drag it out and bury it as soon as possible, it can't be put in a cell like this." ”
"Yes, let's bury it!" the county master seemed to sigh, but his expression was completely painful, "Although the master has committed a lot of mistakes, but now that the deceased is gone, since he is the master of our yamen, he naturally wants to choose a piece of feng shui treasure land and bury it well, which can be regarded as being able to rest in peace." ”
I don't know why, when the county lord said this, Chi Bi looked at the county lord's appearance, and always felt that it was a little weird, and when everyone dispersed, Chi Bi followed Mu Ran back to the room of the yamen, and before Chi Bi could speak, Mu Ran slowly spread out her hand, and Chi Bi was surprised to find that her hand was a crumpled note, Chi Bi couldn't help but be surprised, she didn't know when Mu Ran was holding this note, and Chi Bi naturally didn't know, it was Mu Ran who was doing the autopsy for the master, and Mu Ran found this small note in the master's tightly held hand, but there were so many people gathered around at that time, and Mu Ran's heart naturally understood that the secret that the master still held tightly before his death was naturally extraordinary, but there were so many people at that time, she really couldn't be sure which ones were friends and which ones were enemies, and only after settling down with the master, she returned to the room.
It's just that what was written on the note made Chi Bi and Mu Ran's faces become solemn, and Chi Bi was a little incredulous, "Someone actually threatened the master?"
Mu Ran listened to what Chi Bi said, and then said, "Master is locked in a cell, and with Lord Li's order, if someone wants to get close to him, it is absolutely impossible, let alone someone will stuff a note into Master's hand!"
Mu Ran was still saying thoughtfully, but Chi Bi thought of something, and suddenly interjected, "Could it be the guards guarding the cell?" Thinking about it, maybe they are the biggest suspect, however, even though he said that, Mu Ran still shook his head solemnly, "Those who catch fast are not the henchmen of the master, they are all people that Master Li can trust." Mu Ran said this firmly, although Chi Bi didn't understand how Mu Ran believed it like this, she could only prick up her ears and listen to her continue, "Except for those guards guarding the cell, there is only one person who can approach the master, but he is not suspicious. ”
"You mean the county master?!" Chi Bi remembered the strange expression of the county master before, and the words that he hadn't had time to say finally came out at this time, "No wonder I saw the county master's strange eyes before, if the master once wanted to replace him, the county master should be hating the master, but I looked at his expression, but I was extremely panicked, as if he was afraid of something, and he was in the cell, didn't he always urge the burial of the master, isn't this a thief with a weak heart?!" Chi Bi said eloquently, asking Mu Ran to swallow back all the words she originally wanted to say, however, now it's just their subordinates, and there is no basis for it, Mu Ran thought, it seems that she still has to go to find the county master first.
It's just that Mu Ran didn't expect that when she saw the county master, she saw the county master hiding in the corner of the yamen garden, burning paper money for the master with a panicked expression, and muttered to herself, "It's not my fault that you have landed in such a field now, brother, although you are gone, I will naturally help you take care of your family, but this matter has nothing to do with me, you can't think of coming to me at night!" Brother, why do you say that it will be gone, I don't mean to kill you on purpose! I also have my own troubles!" There was already a handful of snot and tears between the words, and Mu Ran stood in the thick of the night, but he looked coldly at the county master.
When all the paper money was burned, the county lord breathed a sigh of relief, and then returned to his house with soft steps, but the gloomy room still looked particularly scary for some reason, he wiped a handful of cold sweat on his forehead, and only trembled towards the corner of the wall, but at this time, the candlelight suddenly brightened between the rooms, and the beautiful face of Mu Ran suddenly appeared in front of the county master, but it was like this, but the county master was scared and trembled, and involuntarily hugged himself, and looked at Mu Ran in disbelief and said, "Chu ...... Miss Chu, you're scared to death for me!"
"Aren't you going to pack your baggage!" Mu Ran only smiled, although the smile was weird.
The county magistrate shivered again, and the corners of his mouth seemed to twitch for a moment, but he still said, "Now that the master has left, the yamen is even more chaotic, and the official naturally wants to continue to stay, otherwise if the dragons are leaderless, how can it be good?" Hearing this, it seems that the county magistrate is really not ready to leave.
It's just that Mu Ran sneered, and the coldness in his voice turned into a sharp sword and suddenly poked deeply into the heart of the county master, "The master didn't die before, but the lord wanted to leave the yamen; Her words were meaningful, and she heard it in the ears of the county master, although she was sometimes confused, but at this time she was extremely clear, and she suddenly heard the doubts in it, and couldn't help but widen her eyes, and pointed at herself, and only smiled wryly, "Isn't it possible that the girl is suspicious of the official? Girl, the official is wronged! How can the official have anything to do with the murder of the county master, the girl said this, isn't it a joke!" As he spoke, he took a few steps back, his bloated body was against the corner of the wall, but his legs were still trembling, and the expression on his face was extremely unnatural.
And Mu Ran smiled slightly at this time, "Why should adults be afraid, Mu Ran naturally knows, adults have nothing to do with this matter." ”
And as soon as she said it, the county master became more and more afraid.
