After everyone exchanged a few words, Huang Zhongjie said to Xu Chen: "Shaoxia, I have something I want to ask, I don't know if I should say it or not?"

Xu Chen replied calmly: "If the owner of Huang Zhuang has something to ask, he knows everything. ”

But Huang Zhongjie suddenly stopped, and his eyes looked towards Lin Yu. Lin Yu was such an alert person, and he suddenly knew that the owner of Huang Zhuang wanted to ask Xu Chen in private, so he glanced at his brother, then stood up and said goodbye for a reason.

When the two of them left Xu Chen's room with the gold, Huang Zhongjie opened his mouth to talk with a smile. But the more Xu Chen listened, the more awkward he became, and his heart began to feel a little uneasy.

It turned out that Huang Zhongjie asked about his birthday, and no matter how stupid Xu Chen was, he realized what Huang Zhongjie meant in his words.

He couldn't help but sigh secretly: "It's bad, he will definitely mention the family matter later, what should I do?"

At this moment, he was as anxious as an ant on a hot pot, Huang Zhongjie noticed Xu Chen's strange appearance, and asked with concern: "Shaoxia, are you uncomfortable?"

"Ahh......h I'm fine. ”

Just as Xu Chen was answering, a young man walked in and said to Huang Zhongjie: "Master, the county master is here and is waiting in the hall." ”

Huang Zhongjie was also a little puzzled, he apologized to Xu Chen, and then went with his family to see the parental official.

Xu Chen just breathed a sigh of relief, but when he saw Huang Zhongjie going and returning, he said to him with a smile: "My lord suddenly came to visit, I'm afraid there is something important to discuss." Shaoxia might as well go with me to see him, in case the adult has something to ask for, I hope that Shaoxia can help him. ”

Xu Chen has always been enthusiastic and happy, and when he heard the invitation of the owner, there was no reason not to go, but how did he know that at this moment, Huang Zhongjie no longer regarded him as an outsider, and hoped that this future son-in-law could earn some face for him in front of his parents.

Sure enough, as Huang Zhongjie expected, the county master did have something important to ask him. The county magistrate was not polite, and after the three of them sat down as the guest of honor, they went straight to the point and told the matter.

"Brother Huang, this official has something to ask for, and I hope you can help. ”

"My lord, please speak, Huang is here. ”

"There was a murder in the southern suburbs of this county yesterday, and I hope you can help me solve the case. ”

Hearing this, Huang Zhongjie couldn't help laughing, shook his head again and again, and said: "There are many capable servants under your hands, and they are all masters of judging cases like gods, so why do you need me to intervene in this matter?"

"If it is an ordinary murder case, the official does not dare to trouble the owner, but this case involves a lot of secrets, not to mention that the murderer is likely to be a god and demon with a very high spell cultivation, which is far from being able to capture my useless subordinates, so the official hopes that the owner of the village can come forward to bring the murderer to justice. ”

Huang Zhongjie said: "Huang has washed his hands and does not ask about the worldly things, although the adults are here in person, it is really difficult for me to obey the fate......"

Before he finished speaking, Xu Chen listened anxiously on the side, and interjected: "Although the case is a matter for the government, we and the other gods should not stand idly by, if the owner of the village has difficulties, I am willing to help." ”

When the county magistrate heard this, he was overjoyed, thinking that this young man had just killed the three evils in Jiangnan, and his magic cultivation was far above Huang Zhongjie, so he could get his help and naturally get twice the result with half the effort, so he got up and expressed his gratitude.

Huang Zhongjie couldn't help but show a wry smile at the corner of his mouth, it turned out that the purpose of his deliberate resignation was to throw bricks and lead Xu Chen to take on the case, so as to win some credit for this future son-in-law. Unexpectedly, Xu Chen took the initiative to undertake this matter, which was really unexpected by him.

Huang Zhongjie thought to himself that my son-in-law is really a heartless person, and he took the initiative to ask for help without even asking about the detailed process of the case, which shows that there are not many city governments in his heart, and it seems that he will have to adjust more in the future before he can fully take over Mingyue Villa.

Thinking about it, he saw that Xu Chen agreed to this matter, and it was not easy to dismiss his interest in person, so he got up and said: "With Xu Shaoxia's help, the adult will solve the case just around the corner." Although it is inconvenient for Huang to come forward, it is also a matter of responsibility to contribute to things, and adults can speak if necessary. ”

"The owner of the village values the official so much, then I thank you first. ”

"My lord, there is another uninvited invitation below. Xu Chen said: "I don't have much experience in handling cases, and I'm afraid that when the time comes, I won't be able to do things well and make everyone laugh." So I would like to recommend that the two of them join me in capturing the murderer, and I hope that the adults will agree. ”

The county magistrate couldn't wait for more helpers to agree, so Xu Chen recommended Lin Yu and Zhao Lei to him, and the matter was settled.

In fact, Xu Chen's assistance to the county official to solve the case was just an excuse, in the conversation with Huang Zhongjie just now, he knew that the owner of the village would propose to him sooner or later, but he didn't have a good impression of Huang Xiaoxue at all, how could he marry such a brutal daughter as a wife.

But he didn't think of a decent reason to excuse himself from this family business for a while, so when he saw that the county official mentioned the matter of solving the case, he hurriedly contracted it, in fact, he wanted to take the opportunity to leave Mingyue Villa early.

I know that I can't hide from the first day of the first month, but at least before solving the case, it will be inconvenient for the owner of Huang Zhuang to discuss this matter with him. As for what to do in the future, Xu Chen didn't think too much, at the moment his idea was to delay it for as long as he could, and now he could only take one step at a time.

After Xu Chen went to see Lin Yu and Zhao Lei and told them about this, Zhao Lei's eyes were about to bulge, and he said angrily: "Brother Xu is so enthusiastic, and he won't ask our opinion first! Let me ask you, if we catch the murderer, how much bounty can we share?"

"This ......" Xu Chen suddenly blushed, he didn't even think about the remuneration.

Just when he was thinking about how to answer Zhao Lei, Huang Zhongjie had already walked in the door and said: "Two young heroes, Li County Ling loves the people like a son, he is a rare Qing official, how can he have any money to give you." ”

Zhao Lei was deflated when he heard this, and said even more dissatisfied: "Who will go if there is no money, and we are not free laborers who are recruited immediately." ”

"Brother, you can't say that. Lin Yu said lightly: "You and I both belong to the Protoss, and it is our duty to eliminate violence and peace." At present, there are villains in Qingping County, even if the county magistrate does not come to invite, we should also get rid of this scourge, how can you stay out of the matter. ”

Xu Chen hurriedly postscripted: "What Senior Brother Lin said is extremely true, so I ask the two of you to help you arrest this thief and bring this thief to justice, and the place will be quiet." ”

Zhao Lei shook his head and said, "Capturing the murderer is a risky job, if you lose your life, wouldn't it be a big loss?"

How could the well-informed Huang Zhongjie not detect the little Jiujiu in his heart from Zhao Lei's words, so he said with a smile: "Zhao Shaoxia, please rest assured, as long as you are willing to make a move, Li County will not pay you at that time, and Huang will also give you a generous gift." ”

Zhao Lei immediately changed his attitude after hearing that Huang Zhongjie promised to pay him a gratuity, and changed his words and said Since you are not opposed, if I don't go, it will be too unrighteous.

Xu Chen was afraid that he would regret it later, so he hurriedly urged the two of them to immediately leave to the county office to inquire about the progress of the case.

When the three of them came to the county office, they happened to meet Li County Commander asking about the situation on the day of the deceased's family, and after Xu Chen exchanged a few words with him, he sat down in the hall to listen.

After listening to the confession of the deceased's family, Xu Chen realized that the deceased was also a warrior of the Protoss, but his mana was low, and he was just a divine warrior with the second layer of the Yuan Infant Realm.

He was also a businessman, who had traveled across the ocean to transport goods before being killed, and had only returned to his home in Qingping County a few days ago, where he had been killed in bed the night before. If it weren't for the fact that his family hadn't gotten up at noon the next day and had not gotten up to inspect the house, they wouldn't have known how long this divine warrior had been dead.

Hearing this, Xu Chen gritted his teeth in anger, and said in his mouth: "This thief is really hateful, he simply despises the king's law, and when he is caught, he must be beaten half to death!"

When the surrounding officials heard Xu Chen speak like this, they all hid their mouths and snickered, and Li Xianling knew that he was a person of temperament and did not blame him, but just chuckled and asked the family again, there was any property loss in the family after the incident. The son of the deceased shook his head again and again, saying that nothing had been lost in the house.

Since it was not a murder for money, it was possible that it was a vendetta, and Li Xianling asked the deceased if he had made enemies with others before his death, but he knew that the deceased's son's answer disappointed him.

It turned out that the deceased was a well-known good man, not to mention a feud, even if he usually had a dispute with someone, he was smiling and welcoming, and he didn't care too much about others.

Xu Chen couldn't help but say uncontrollably: "That's weird, it's not for money, it's not for revenge, so why did this thief kill your father?"

The young man kowtowed and said, "This villain doesn't know, and I hope Xu Daxia can avenge my father." ”
