Chapter 40 Heavy Rain Pear Blossom Needle

Jiangnan's heart trembled.

Looking up, he saw a man wearing the uniform of the Zhenfu Division appearing at the door.

This man is about thirty years old, tall and thin, with a pair of triangular eyes like poisonous snakes, giving people a particularly gloomy feeling.

Jiang Nan knew in his heart that this person was probably the newly appointed Zhenfu Si Baihu of Nanshan City.

Pretending not to know, he asked, "Are you talking to us?"

"Nonsense! Is there anyone else here?" The tall and thin man was extremely unfriendly as soon as he opened his mouth.

"Hey, Mr. Jiang, you violated the "Three Chapters of the Covenant" and committed the murder of ordinary people. Come with me back to Zhenfusi!"

The tall and thin man waved his hand, and two guards in mysterious clothes appeared with chains in their hands.

"Who are you? Did you admit the wrong person?" Jiang Nan pretended to be confused.

"I am Zhao Zhiping of the Hundred Households of the Zhenfu Division. We Ming people don't tell secrets. You killed my brother-in-law. This is a matter of course." The tall and thin man said coldly.

"It turns out to be Master Baihu!"

Jiang Nan held his hand and then asked in confusion: "Who is your brother-in-law?"

"My lord, have you made a mistake? I am a dandy who is ignorant and has no skills. He has never even killed a dog, let alone killed someone!"

"Many people in Nanshan City know about this matter."

"If you don't believe me, just ask on the street and you will find out."

"Ha. Don't make excuses!" Zhao Zhiping sneered: "I can find out that you committed a murder, so how can I not find out your details?"

"Oh? I'm just about to ask you, sir, what details do you have?" Jiang Nan looked curious.

"You... I am handling a case, not talking nonsense with you. Don't give me a toast and be fined!"

Zhao Zhiping was angered by Jiangnan's attitude.

"Are you threatening me, sir?" Jiang Nan narrowed his eyes slightly.

"Not bad! What's wrong with threatening you?" Zhao Zhiping made no secret of it.

"Okay! You are an official, you are awesome!" Jiang Nan gave a thumbs up, and then changed his voice: "However, when the yamen does things, you still have to provide evidence. You, the governor, can't just accuse someone of innocence without any reason, right?"

Jiang Nan was convinced that when he killed the buck-toothed Xiaoba, the only two people present were the swordsman in gray and the second son of the Qin family.

The gray-clothed swordsman had been assassinated by himself with phosphorus fire, and the second young master of the Qin family also committed suicide in the dungeon out of fear of crime.

There were no witnesses at all.

This Zhao Zhiping probably just found out that Buck-toothed Xiaoba came to deal with him before he died, so he suspected that he died at his own hands.

As long as you refuse to admit it, the other party will have nothing to do with you.

Sure enough, when Jiang Nan mentioned the evidence, Zhao Zhiping's face turned ugly for a moment. Then he roared viciously:

"If I, the Zhenfu Division, do my job, I still need your guidance?"

"Take it!" Zhao Zhiping ordered directly to the two men holding chains.

"Let me see who dares?"

Ye Qingqing's long sword was unsheathed and guarded in front of Jiang Nan.

"Who are you? How dare you obstruct my official duties at Zhenfu Company?"

Zhao Zhiping's eyes narrowed and he asked aloud.

In fact, he had found out Ye Qingqing's identity before coming here and knew that she was from the Ye family of Dongdao.

The reason why I pretended not to know was to avoid the Ye family being blamed.

As the saying goes, he who does not know is not guilty.

I didn’t know that your Ye family was present, and even if I offended you, it was not directed at your Ye family.

"You don't care who I am! The Zhenfu Secretary must follow the rules when doing things, right?" Ye Qingqing asked.

"The rules must be told to qualified people." Zhao Zhiping said disdainfully.

"Do I, a member of the Ye family of Dongdao, have this qualification?" Ye Qingqing said coldly.

"Dongdao Ye family?"

Zhao Zhiping pretended to be surprised, and then said with a fake smile: "It turns out that the girl is from the Ye family of Dongdao, so disrespectful!"

"Miss Ye, you are certainly qualified. However, this guy's surname is Jiang, and he is not from the Ye family!"

Zhao Zhiping's meaning is very clear.

Miss Ye, you are from the Ye family, and I will give you face. But the man around you is not, so stop making excuses to stop me from working.

You know, giving face is mutual.

Zhenfusi is only afraid of the Ye family of Dongdao, but he is not really afraid.

I can't give you the face of the Ye family and touch the people of the Ye family, but you, the Ye family, don't give me the face of the Zhenfu Department, and you fight against the civil servants of my Zhenfu Department for a man whose surname is not Ye.

"Who said he is not from my Ye family?" Ye Qingqing sneered unexpectedly.

"Um?"

Zhao Zhiping's expression changed slightly: "Could he be Miss Ye's..."

If the two really have a male-female relationship, then Jiang Nan can barely be considered half of the Ye family.

That would be a bit difficult to handle.

"Don't talk nonsense! He is my cousin." Ye Qingqing hurriedly interrupted Zhao Zhiping's speculation.

"Miss Ye, please don't lie to me. His surname is Jiang, and he is the eldest son of the Jiang family in Nanshan City. Everyone in Nanshan City knows this. How could he be your cousin?" Zhao Zhiping said sarcastically.

I thought Ye Qingqing wanted to use this clumsy method to get through.

"Who lied to you? He is my second uncle's... illegitimate son." Ye Qingqing said, not forgetting to warn: "This is the privacy of my Ye family, you must not spread it out."

"Your second uncle? But Ye Daxia, the floating swordsman?" Zhao Zhiping was shocked.

Ye Qingqing nodded solemnly.

Zhao Zhiping looked at Jiang Nan carefully from head to toe, looking surprised.

Ye Fusheng, the floating swordsman!

That is the most powerful swordsman in the world!

Not to mention Zhao Zhiping, a small town governor, even his brother-in-law, Shannan Road town governor, did not dare to provoke him easily.

What if the kid in front of me is really the illegitimate son of the floating swordsman...

Catch him yourself and do something like torture...

I'm afraid that without the Fusheng Swordsman coming, my brother-in-law would take the initiative to chop himself into pieces and apologize to the Fusheng Swordsman.

Zhao Zhiping's suspicious eyes wandered between Jiang Nan and Ye Qingqing.

This is so unexpected!

Although Zhao Zhiping also thought that this might be just a lie that Ye Qingqing made casually to scare himself.

But even if there was only one chance in ten thousand, he wouldn't dare to gamble on it.

for a long time.

for a long time.

By the time Ye Qingqing looked impatient.

Zhao Zhiping finally made up his mind.

"Ha ha……"

"Ha ha……"

"Maybe the people below got the clue wrong. When we get back, I will deal with the person who lied about the clue."

"How could the son of the Fusheng Swordsman violate the Three Chapters of the Covenant? The people below must have made a mistake."

"Sorry to bother you two!"

"Zhao will leave now."

Zhao Zhiping, one of the 100 households in the Zhenfu Division, came suddenly and left quickly.

"Did you really kill that person?"

Ye Qingqing asked Jiangnan.

"How is that possible? I've never even killed a chicken. Besides, who knows who his brother-in-law is!"
