Chapter 47: Worse Than Death

There are no inherently good people in the world, and there are no inherently evil people, and the so-called good and evil are forced out by various situations. Pen Fun Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info

The neighbors who had been with the Tie family for three or two days all died for a few days, and they died cleanly, and their deaths were not bizarre. Some were hit on the head by the roof beam when they were repairing the house, and their brains turned out. Some got drunk in the middle of the night and plunged headlong into the river, and when the bodies were fished up, they still had a weird smile on their faces.

There was also a woman who died a somewhat ugly death, and she was actually supported to death. Tao Gongzi saw the hard work of the people in repairing houses, and bought a lot of fish and meat to reward everyone. This shameless foolish woman swept away seven or eight roast ducks and ate them secretly at home, and when the servant brought her out of the house, her belly was still bulging.

"This has to be the reincarnation of a hungry ghost. The crowd talked about it, and not only did they have no mercy for this woman, but they all speculated maliciously.

Tie Qingqing naturally knew this woman, she often came to their house to eat, but she never thought that she would die in such a way.

Although she had smashed herself with rotten vegetable leaves, and the words that came out of her mouth were also vicious, Tie Qingqing couldn't bear the slightest sense of schadenfreude when she saw this corpse, and even a chill always rose from behind her.

She looked sideways at Tao Ran on the side, and saw that his face was as usual, and he didn't even have the disgust in everyone's eyes, and she breathed a sigh of relief in her heart.

"Brother Tao, let's go back, I'm a little uncomfortable. "Tie Qingqing said.

"You should have gone back a long time ago, you haven't healed yet, and it's okay to come out and see what a dead man does. Tao Ran draped the coat on her body, full of pity for this girl.

"Brother Tao, you say, could the death of these people not be an accident, but a murder?" asked Tie Qingqing.

Tao Ranfeng nodded her forehead with a smile: "Just the way you look now, do you still want to be arrested and solve the case?" When you have taken care of your body, I will go to Liu Zhixian to ask for a position for you to catch a female catcher, so that you can investigate the case thoroughly, if you really find out something, our Qingqing will become a goddess to arrest." ”

Tie Qingqing listened to Tao Ran's joke, and the doubts in his heart were gone, and he pouted: "I don't want to be a fast catcher, that's a cheap person, and I can't participate in the imperial examination within three generations!

......

"It's too much! It's too much!" Unexpectedly, a white-eyed wolf had just been shut down, and a white-eyed tiger jumped out.

It is normal for people to die in the slums, those who starve to death without money to eat, those who die of illness without illness and medicine, and one or two corpses are always transported out of the city in a few days. They are all white-handed people who go into the city to work hard, and they often die, and there is not even a person to collect the body.

But this time, the west of the city is under construction, and even the food is paid for by the government, how can there be one death after another in so many days!

Although they all died on the construction site, it seemed that it was all an accident, but as long as you carefully scrutinize, you will find that there are many suspicions.

Liu Zhixian only checked and found the crux of the problem, these dead poor people were all neighbors of the Tie family. Thinking about the past few days, those people's excesses towards the Tie family were not even blind to his county order.

But that's a lot of lives! No matter how wrong people are, they won't be put to death!

He is the magistrate of Siping, and he is also the parent official of Siping, and the people under his command are his children, and if the children have grievances, they will naturally be washed away by him, who is a parent.

......

"Lord Liu, I haven't come to thank you for the events of the day, but I was invited to the house by you today, which makes the kid flattered!" Tao Ran's words were thorny, making Liu Zhixian's brows frown.

"There's no need to thank you, it's within the official's job, but you need to give me an explanation for these things. Liu Zhixian threw the case file in his hand to Tao Ran's table.

Tao Ran didn't even bother to flip through it, and he didn't have to guess to know what was recorded in it.

"If no one reports the case, will the yamen file a case?" Tao Ran didn't take the case seriously, but instead talked about the procedures for handling the case.

"It seems that Tao Gongzi is very clear about the process of doing things in the yamen!" Liu Zhixian clenched his fists, this is a young talent that he has always been optimistic about, in the end, how did he become such a villain who carelessly cares about human life, is it because of that token?

"Don't forget, my lord, I helped in the yamen. Tao Ran still looks light-hearted.

Liu Zhixian was so angry that he was no longer in the mood to go around in circles with Tao Ran, and asked in a trembling voice, "Are you really doing this?"

"You came to ask me these at this time? They are the rulers of your county, not the Tie family?" Tao Ran slapped the table and stood up, "If I come one step later, this family will be forced to death by a few rumors, at that time, what are you doing as a parent official!"

"I ......" Liu Zhixian couldn't help but speak, he knew that it was a rumor, and he also knew that there was a problem with the so-called secret decree, but he hesitated, it was only half a year away, as long as the term of office expired in this half year, and there were no more accidents, then his career that had been stagnant for a long time would be smooth. How long has I been doing it, from black hair to white head, who knows the bitterness.

has been an official for more than ten years, he has always been upright and has never been wrong, but a few days ago, he was really ashamed, and he was poked out by Tao Ran at this time, and he was speechless.

"Sometimes, killing isn't necessarily the most vicious thing. The most vicious thing is to ruin your name and reputation, and even if you die, you will have to bear hundreds of years of infamy! Do you know that when I go back, Uncle Tie's face is no longer bloody? Do you know that Qingqing, a little girl, is so thin that even her eye sockets have sunken? Rumors should stop at the wise, but you, the wisest person in Siping City, don't even dare to come out!" Tao Ran glared at Liu Zhixian and shouted hysterically, which had already made the green tendons on his erection come out.

Liu Zhixian sat down in his seat in a gloom, he knew that this matter would become an unavoidable stain in his heart, and his so-called uprightness was finally ruined in the end on his desire for a career.

Tao Ran came to vent today, and after the catharsis, he glanced at Lord Liu who was decadent on the chair, and he didn't even bother to say hello, so he was going back.

"Before you leave, are you really not going to tell me who did this?" Liu Zhixian pointed to the case and asked a little weakly, if he dared to roar at him so confidently, the perpetrator would naturally not be Tao Ran.

"If someone wants to fish out of Wanshan, the evidence against him will naturally be destroyed, and by the way, he can find me some trouble. You just have to check the dead ones, the expenses of the past few days, or the remaining assets of the family. After Tao Ran finished speaking, he turned around and said, "Although I didn't kill the people, if they didn't die, I would do it sooner or later!"

"What about those merchants? What are you going to do with those merchants?" The magistrate who had regained his consciousness felt an unprecedented fear, and this Siping was afraid that the sky was about to change.

"There are things that are more uncomfortable than death, don't you say, my lord? Don't worry, I won't give you a chance to throw me in prison. Tao Ran walked away without looking back.
