The terrifying shouts that sounded in the courtyard seemed to shake down the rain in the cumulus clouds in the sky, and the original drizzle was connected in an instant!

Hou Hu and Hou Monkey, who were standing in the courtyard, saw Mu Yirong and others walking in, and immediately stepped forward with an umbrella, and just as they were about to open their mouths, they were stopped by Mu Yirong reaching out.

Qi Kecheng, who was saying something to the green swordsman Han Xiangzi, saw Mu Yirong, and immediately rushed forward, bowed and saluted, and asked Mu Yirong if he caught the monster that killed Steward Pang?

Mu Yirong looked at Liu Jingshan, who was standing in the courtyard, his face wet from the rain: "County Lieutenant Liu, please go to the yamen with this official." ”

Because Mrs. Liu had a difficult birth, Qi Kecheng's wife, Mrs. Qi, brought a lot of maids and sisters-in-law, shuttling inside and outside the house, busy and very noisy.

And because of the monsters and murders in Liu's mansion, Qi Kecheng called all the housekeepers and miscellaneous servants in his mansion to strengthen his courage.

Now a courtyard of men and women, old and young, heard that Mu Yirong had caught the murderer and asked Liu Jingshan to go to the yamen, and they all looked at Mu Yirong.

When they saw Mu Yirong behind him, surrounded by a circle of fast catchers with big knives in their hands, they all nervously exchanged their heads and talked about each other.

Liu Jingshan, who seemed to be very weak, was supported by the two maidservants who had been taking care of him, as if without the support of the two, he would be paralyzed to the ground.

Before Liu Jingshan could speak, he coughed twice before he could speak weakly.

"Lord Squire, before you came, I was unfortunately attacked by a monster and fell into a coma, and I couldn't say hello to you, I hope you will forgive me. I heard that there has been a lot of chaos in the house in the past two days, which has made your Excellency work hard, and I am really sorry for causing you trouble. ”

After saying this, Liu Jingshan began to cough violently again, as if he wanted to cough out the two lobes in his chest before he would stop.

After a while, Liu Jingshan, who finally stopped coughing, took a few breaths before he spoke apologetically.

"Xiaguan just heard from my brother-in-law that the housekeeper Pang was killed by a monster, although I am very heartbroken, but the lowly lady is struggling to give birth in the room, and the lowly cannot go back to the yamen with the adult to assist in the investigation, if you have anything to say, just ask here!"

Mu Juezhi, who had been gritting his back molars, snorted coldly when he heard this: "Liu Jingshan, don't pretend to be confused, you don't know what you've done." When death comes, don't hold on to death, hurry back to the yamen with us, be interrogated and investigated, and confess the crimes you have committed. ”

Liu Jingshan hunched his back, wheezing heavily, and tilted his head to look at Mu Juezhi: "Captain Mu, you and I are on an errand in the same yamen, in charge of different departments, although there are some disagreements on weekdays, but there is no evil. Now, why are you accusing the county lieutenant with such unclear and unclear words? Could it be that you want to be the lieutenant of the left and right counties, so you have spoken to slander me?"

Mu Juezhi was so angry that her eyes were about to roll back, her face was dark, and her eyes were looking at Liu Jingshan.

"County Lieutenant Liu, I am the person in charge of the army, I don't like to settle accounts and count money, you don't wronged me. Also, if we hadn't found out the whole story, how could we have summoned you to the yamen for interrogation? ”

Liu Jingshan coughed a few times before speaking, and then breathed loudly, with a face full of grievances.

"What does Captain Mu mean by this? Could it be that you are doubting that I have anything to do with the people who died in the mansion?"

After speaking, Liu Jingshan began to cough violently again, coughing until his face was flushed, and he bent down.

Seeing his brother-in-law like this, Qi Kecheng hurriedly stepped forward and asked Mu Yirong if he had made a mistake. The murders of Liu Fu were all committed by the elm monster and had nothing to do with Liu Jingshan.

Mu Juezhi glared at Qi Kecheng speechlessly: "Qi County Order, you are the head of a county, you actually believe in the words of gods and ghosts, and people who don't know listen to your words, and think that you are the Yin official of the Netherworld." ”

Qi Kecheng was embarrassed by Mu Juezhi's loss, but he still defended Liu Jingshan, saying that he had been attacked before, had just woken up, and had no idea what had happened.

"Whether he knows it or not, bring it back to the yamen for interrogation, and he will know. ”

After Mu Juezhi finished speaking, he ordered Qi Kecheng to come forward and arrest people, and Qi Kecheng, who had been weak and weak, saw that Mu Juezhi insisted on Liu Jingshan without evidence, and seriously suspected that as Liu Jingshan said, Mu Juezhi wanted to occupy the two positions of county lieutenant in Lintong County.

But Liu Jingshan is still his brother-in-law, he is so easy to say, Mu Juezhi just didn't buy it, he suddenly lost face, he was very annoyed, straightened his waist and blocked the front, and shouted very hard: "This county order to see who arrests people indiscriminately without evidence." ”

The subordinates of the Liu Mansion and the Qi Mansion, when they saw Qi Kecheng coming forward, immediately all hugged behind him, shouting loudly that the officials should not arrest people indiscriminately.

Even some people even stepped forward to push Mu Juezhi, saying that Liu Jingshan had just recovered from a serious illness, was weak and weak, and was still anxious about Mrs. Liu's production, Mu Juezhi was here to squeeze out his colleagues, take the opportunity to seize power, and wanted to dominate the Yamen of Lintong County, which was really shameless.

Mu Juezhi didn't dare to be rude to the common people, and when he was about to scold, he saw Ruicao pacing in front of him, "Cangchang", pulled out the sword at his waist, turned his wrist, and pulled a sword flower in front of him.

With a "snap", Qi Kecheng's official hat was split in half and fell to the ground, which immediately shocked everyone and took a few steps back.

Qi Kecheng stretched out his head with trembling hands and touched it, and then glared at Ruicao in disbelief: "You...... You actually damaged the official ......"

Qi Kecheng's next words were blocked by the tip of the sword that Ruicao forced to his mouth.

"What are you...... You're ......."

Ruicao wanted to say something about Qi Kecheng, but he didn't think of words for a while, and Mu Yirong's voice came from behind him.

"Qi County Order, are you gathering a crowd to make trouble and obstruct the investigation?"

Qi Kecheng was so frightened that he hurriedly bent down, he didn't dare, but he still couldn't help arguing with reason, the investigation of the case needs to talk about evidence, that Steward Pang has more than ten years of upbringing to Liu Jingshan, like father and son, everyone knows that he treats Steward Pang very kindly, how could he do such a thing as killing Steward Pang, it doesn't make sense to be reasonable.

And Mrs. Liu Jingshan is giving birth, I hope Mu Yirong can explain the reason, why do you suspect Liu Jingshan and arrest him to the yamen?

Ruicao slapped his left palm with Mu Juezhi's sword, and like everyone else, he also looked at Mu Yirong: "I want to go back to Mu Mansion, you interrogate quickly, don't procrastinate." ”

Mu Juezhi looked at Ruicao, and suddenly showed a fox smile: "Since Qi County Ling is curious, then Ruicao Female Pavilion Chief, let's talk to him, why do you want to take County Lieutenant Liu back to the Yamen for interrogation." ”

When Seocho heard this, she gave me a look in her eyes that you don't want to bother me with such a useless and troublesome thing as counting chicken feathers.

Mu Yirong smiled and made a gesture of invitation to Ruicao: "Most of the culpability of County Lieutenant Liu was found out by the chief of Ruicao Pavilion, and it is best for you to explain it to everyone." ”

Seocho's right-handed sword, one by one, one at a time, slapped the palm of his left hand very rhythmically.

"Do you think I'm the kind of person who is patient and likes to explain the reason to others?"

"Dali Temple Pavilion Chief Ruicao, Miss Mufu Cousin Ruicao, will naturally give everyone an explanation. ”

After Mu Yirong said these words, he lowered his voice again, and said in a volume that only he and Ruicao could hear: "Your mother asked you to go down the mountain to experience the suffering of the world, speculate on human nature, and understand it thoroughly. But if you stay out of it, how can you get something out of it!"
