Fang Kuan was stunned for a moment, he couldn't think of what level the person who was bigger than Zhao Gao was, there were many officials in Daqin, but Zhao Gao was the person closest to the emperor, that was the real position was extremely high, higher than his status, could it be ......, Fang Kuan suddenly made a swing, feeling like he had fallen into an ice hole, and stammered: "Could it be Li Si?" ”

"No, let's go to see the county magistrate together, we need his help to get an idea about this matter!" Chen Xu shook his head, so the three of them rode straight to the courtyard behind the county office.

"What is the matter with Lieutenant Fang looking for me so late?" Jiang Beiting, who received the gift, hurriedly walked out of the inner courtyard with his clothes and tiara, and then saw Chen Xu and Yu Wuya standing next to him, and was stunned for a moment and said, "Hey, why did you suddenly appear in the city, nephew?" ”

"Lord Jiang, there was a murder in Qinghe Town, and I came here to confess!" Chen Xu bowed slightly.

"Homicide?" Jiang Beiting was stunned for a moment and nodded, "Has the murderer ever been caught?" ”

"I have been caught, and now I am detained in the Qinghe Town Health Center!"

"It's good to catch it, the murderer asked You to release Liu Po tomorrow to come to the county government and hand over to the county lieutenant Fang, why bother to run so late! Since you're here, let me go in and talk about it in detail! Jiang Beiting felt that Chen Xu was making a fuss, but he was a little panicked when he thought that Chen Xu was young and might encounter a homicide, so he said with some relief as he walked: "The next time you encounter this kind of thing, you don't need to come to the ceremony immediately, arrest the murderer, interrogate the cause, deal with the aftermath of the deceased, and wait for everything to stop before you come to the ceremony!" ”

Chen Xu followed behind without speaking, and after walking into the living room and sitting down, Chen Xu said to Yu Wuya: "Wuya is optimistic about the outside, no one is allowed to approach!" ”

Chen Xu's words made Jiang Beiting and Fang Kuan feel incomprehensible at the same time, and after Yu Wuya went out, Jiang Beiting stroked his beard and said with a solemn face: "Chen Lidian, why are you doing this?" ”

"Don't blame the county magistrate, the mastermind of this murder case is very big, if it is not handled well, I am afraid it will cause another big disaster!" Chen Xu said with a wry smile.

"Could it be Zhao Gao?" Jiang Beiting's first reaction was almost exactly the same as Fang Kuan, and the first thing that came to mind was Zhao Gao.

"No, the mastermind of this murder is Meng Yun, the son of the imperial historian Meng Yi......"

"What?" Jiang Beiting suddenly stood up with a sigh of surprise, still pinching a few beards pulled from his chin in his hands, but he didn't feel any pain at all.

But Fang Kuan's buttocks were crooked and he sat directly on the ground, and the teacup in his hand fell to the ground with a clatter, and rolled to the middle of the living room, his face was completely dull.

"Doctor Goshi...... Meng Yi...... How could his son run to Qinghe Town to kill people? After muttering for a long time, Jiang Beiting sat down expressionlessly, and after a long silence, he asked, "Who did he kill?" What about now? ”

"One of Meng Yun's subordinates killed a helper in a workshop in the town, wounded Liu Po, and then caused public anger and was besieged by hundreds of villagers, but the murderer was powerful and had swords, and many villagers were injured in the melee......"

"Talking about the point?" Jiangbei Pavilion didn't want to listen to Chen Xu's nonsense.

"Meng Yun was frightened and fainted, four subordinates were seriously injured and unconscious, and Ma Teng was also beaten a little miserably by the villagers!"

"Marten? Who? Jiang Beiting was stunned for a moment and asked.

"It's the nephew of the county guard Ma Boyuan, the one who planned with Zhao Zhe to rob the summer grain tax last time!" Chen Xu said speechlessly.

"Is that him? How could he get involved with Meng Yi's son again? Jiangbei Pavilion was also speechless.

"I haven't asked about this yet, I think it was Meng Yun who came to Nanyang to play after hearing about the disciples of the Immortal Family, and then got acquainted in Wancheng, after all, they have to have a relationship with the Meng family, and they don't look down on them without a certain status!" Chen Xu said for granted.

"Not necessarily, the grandfather of the county guard Ma Boyuan, Ma Lu and the Minister of State Lu Buwei are old acquaintances, at the beginning, Lu Buwei introduced a businessman, in order to get to know Yangquan Jun, it was Ma Qi who matched the bridge, and then Lu Buwei met Mrs. Huayang through Yangquan Jun to accept the stranger as a righteous son, with the relationship between Mrs. Huayang, An Guojun ascended the throne after the establishment of the stranger as the prince, the details of which do not need to be detailed, that Ma Lu because of this meritorious, so by Lü Buwei's care, after the stranger ascended the throne, he was awarded the position of Ma Kui, ranked Jiuqing, and the Ma family was also prosperous and rich, Ma Boyuan has only been in Nanyang County for four years, and he has been serving in Xianyang before, this Ma Teng and Meng Yun want to be similar in the next year, and it is not surprising that they have known each other for a long time! Jiang Beiting's face slowly returned to calm as he spoke.

"Lord Jiang, what should be the crime of this Mengyun conniving at the murder of the descendants?" Chen Xu couldn't help but ask.

"Killing civilians at will should be a capital crime, but the murderer is a servant of Meng Yun's family, so Meng Yun's responsibility can be big or small, and this time it did not cause civil unrest, so the responsibility is very small, it can almost be ignored, I am afraid that it may not work if you want to start on this, not to mention the Meng family's military achievements, Meng Yi is deeply valued by His Majesty, even if Meng Yun is a capital crime, it is still avoidable, and even if the servant is murderous, even if this matter is made to the Xianyang court, it will be reprimanded by His Majesty at most a few words and then it will not be resolved!" Jiang Beiting looked at Chen Xu helplessly when he said this, "I'm afraid you're in big trouble this time!" ”

"Huh?" Chen Xu opened his mouth wide and stayed for a long time, his face was full of depression, and at the same time, he couldn't help but shudder, fortunately he was stopped by Yu Wuya and didn't get angry and kill Meng Yun for a while, otherwise he would really have to wait for death.

"That...... Lord Jiang, Xu also points out a clear way, I am grateful! Chen Xu came to his senses and hurriedly smiled dryly and saluted.

"Then why did Meng Yun kill one of the helpers in the workshop, could it be that there was a conflict between the two sides? What is produced in that workshop, you have a lot of workshops in Qinghe Town, which one is it? Jiang Beiting asked.

"Well, it's a paper workshop, that Meng Yun led people to rush into the paper workshop to ask about the method of papermaking, the helper didn't say, so they killed the killer Niu Xiaosi, the helper of the paper mill, when Xu arrived, Niu Xiaosi was already dead, and Liu Po was also injured by Meng Yun's servant, Xu had no choice but to arrest them, but several people were injured by the villagers, and now they are still being treated and guarded in the health center, because Meng Yun's identity is special, so Xu hurried to the county government to tell the two adults, hoping to get a solution to this matter, Otherwise, once things get bigger, trouble will follow......" Chen Xu explained helplessly.

"County Lieutenant Fang, what do you think should be done with this matter?" Jiang Beiting turned his head to look at Fang Kuan and asked.

"It's difficult to do, it's easy to say that the murderer is good, after being imprisoned, the details will be reported to the county lieutenant, and it is not too much to kill and behead, but Meng Yun, as the son of the imperial doctor, has little to do with it, and we can't touch him at all!" Fang Kuan no longer had the initial panic at this time, shook his head and sighed.

He was sitting next to him just now and had heard it clearly, this matter had nothing to do with his fart, and it had nothing to do with what happened last time, so at most he could only gloat at Chen Xu falling into this pit and fluttering, whether he could get up or not depends on Chen Xu's luck, and even Jiangbei Pavilion's attitude, and ......, Fang Kuan secretly glanced at Jiangbei Pavilion in contemplation, his ass had not been completely wiped clean last time, I am afraid that for his own safety, Jiangbei Pavilion will not stand up for Chen Xu this time, the secretary of the level of Imperial Doctor Shi, It's no longer something that the Jiang clan can contend with.

Sure enough, Jiang Beiting shook his head after half a minute of silence: "Chen Lidian, this matter is difficult to handle, and now there are only two ways to do it, because there is a murder, the first law is that we handle it impartially in accordance with the laws of Daqin, and arrest the murderer and punish him severely, as for Meng Yun, he can only be reprimanded and let him go, you see......"

"No, no, no!" Chen Xu directly shook his head like a rattle, if it was treated lightly, Lao Tzu did it in Qinghe Town, why risk running to the county seat at night, on the way just now, the roars of all kinds of beasts could be heard everywhere, and the horses were almost panicked.

"The second method is to reach an understanding with Meng Yun, we will not pursue the murderer, and the dead helper will compensate some more money and food, and then record it as a premature death, and the matter will naturally disappear."

"How can I make an understanding with him?" Chen Xu asked with a bitter face, at the beginning when Niu Xiaosi was killed, he was indeed very angry and wanted to cut Meng Yun and the others to pieces, but after hearing about Meng Yun's identity, he immediately felt that he should clamp his tail first, and he also felt that Niu Xiaosi must have died in vain this time, and there was no place for the entire Great Qin to find a place to reason.

According to Jiangbei Ting's first method, take the regular legal route, arrest the murderer and punish him severely, but Meng Yun will not have any fart matter, he can clean this matter in one bite, the servant killed it himself, he didn't have time to stop it, anyway, this servant was about to be killed, and he handed it over to you to cut it into a few pieces, but this breath, hum, sooner or later it will be reported, so by a surprise chance, Chen Xu was beaten to death by a group of masked people and thrown on the river beach.

As for obtaining Meng Yun's understanding, this seems to be very difficult, Meng Yun, as the highest-level gentleman of Great Qin, was ravaged like a pig's head by Chen Xu, what kind of price does he need to pay to get his understanding, could it be......

Chen Xu thought of it, and suddenly took a sharp breath of cool air and then twitched his cheeks a few times.

"Does the virtuous nephew understand?" Jiang Beiting picked up the teacup and blew it lightly, and he knew by looking at his face that Chen Xu had understood the core of the second method.

As an official of the Great Qin, he does have the obligation and right to maintain the majesty of the Qin law, but if this matter is really dealt with in accordance with the Qin law, in the end Chen Xu will inevitably fall into a serious crisis, and there will be no trace of the bones and scum that have been crushed, Meng Yi has a majestic personality, and the imperial doctor has never made a mistake, it is completely a guillotine in the hands of the emperor, squatting on the top of the heads of the hundred officials of the Great Qin all day and night to watch, to see which one can be chopped, so no official dares to offend him, let alone have any contempt, and he accidentally gets the handle, Don't think about turning over in this life, although Jiang Beiting is optimistic about Chen Xu, he also thinks that he is a malleable talent, and he is more willing to give him the daughter that others don't want, but in the face of a figure that the Jiang family can't compete with at all, he will definitely not use the entire Jiang family to make such a fearless bet.

And this matter is not unsolvable, according to Chen Xu's intelligence, he will definitely figure out the joints in an instant, but there is only one trade-off.

"My ...... Got it! After a long time, Chen Xu gritted his teeth and nodded.

"It's good to figure it out, it's too late today, just eat some refreshments in my house to satisfy your hunger, and rest for one night, tomorrow the county lieutenant will accompany you to Qinghe Town to deal with this matter!" Jiang Beiting stood up, and the county lieutenant Fang Kuan also quickly stood up and took his leave.
