Chapter 47: The ignorant magistrate of the county is in vain and the wise judge cleverly solves the mystery (2)

Before I knew it, it was already noon.

Murong Yunyao visited several more families, but the answers he got were all similar, that is, there was no such person as Jiang Shan in Qingping County, and the so-called Old Man Liu's family had moved away ten years ago.

She felt confused for a moment, as if she had fallen into the clouds. In the past three months, she had experienced countless inexplicable and strange things, whether it was a mysterious old man who could not distinguish between friends and foes, disappearing out of thin air, or even

The non-existent Jiang Shan and Old Man Liu were enough to make her feel unprecedentedly confused and frightened.

"Little madam, what did you find out?" When Murong Yunyao was at a loss, Duan Siming's voice suddenly came to her ears. She followed the sound and turned her head and said: "Looking at your gloating look, you must have guessed me.

Now you’ll be happy with the result of your inquiry!”

Duan Siming said displeased: "What makes me happy? You don't suspect that I have bribed all the men, women, and children in Qingping County to deceive and cover up things that don't exist at all, right?"

"Huh?" Murong Yunyao's eyes suddenly lit up, and she quickly grabbed Duan Siming's collar and said, "You're not asking yourself! You accidentally revealed such an ulterior secret, you must be guilty of being a thief, right?"

?Tell me, where did you tie Old Man Jiang?"

Duan Siming pointed at Murong Yunyao and said speechlessly: "You... you are simply unreasonable! Talking to you is like playing the piano to that... that thing! Every time I say a word to you, I am worried that my life will be shortened by ten years.

!”

Murong Yunyao smiled and said: "How many words have you and I already said? According to your logic just now, you should be no longer alive, but why are you still so alive and kicking?" Then she looked at Duan Siming and marveled: "

By the way, your lifespan should not be calculated by the human limit. As the saying goes, a thousand-year-old turtle is a ten-thousand-year turtle. We have said so many things, and it seems that you are getting closer to the deadline of a turtle. You should try to be a shortened one.

A turtle can live longer!"

Duan Siming couldn't bear it and said: "Bad girl, I've really had enough of you! If I go to you again..." Before he could finish his sentence, he quickly covered his mouth, snorted and turned his head to the side.

Murong Yunyao smiled and said: "Why did you say half a sentence? What if you want to talk to me again?"

Duan Siming endured it for a long time before saying: "You... you must think that this king is so rich that he can rival the country, so you want to seek wealth and murder! I am so smart, how could I be fooled by you?"

Murong Yunyao glanced sideways at Duan Siming and said, "I have business to do, so I don't have time to chat with you." She said and walked quickly towards the alley to the east.

Duan Siming followed closely and asked: "Where are you going? You don't want to find someone to assassinate me in this remote country, and then you can steal my precious golden dragon, right? I'm warning you, that is about Dali.

The destiny of the country, even if I die, I will turn into a ghost to protect the golden dragon!"

Murong Yunyao strode forward while making a three sign with her hands, "Duan, you said three more words to me, and your life will be shortened by another thirty years!"

"You!" Duan Siming said dissatisfied: "You are so abominable, you actually plot against me again. Even if I am really a thousand years old, I can't bear to lose weight like this! By the way, what exactly do you want to do, please tell me clearly.

"

Before Duan Siming finished speaking, Murong Yunyao stopped, pointed at the majestic county government office in front of her and said, "This is where I want to go, do you want to go with me?"

Duan Siming looked up at the high-altitude plaque and whispered: "Qingping County Government?"

Then he loudly said: "Why did you take me to the county government office? Are you planning to sue me, the dignified Prince of Dali, to your government office in Song Dynasty?"

Murong Yunyao shook his head and said: "Who said they were suing you? I want to ask how the family murder case was solved, so that I can find some clues and figure out all the strange things that have happened in the past three months."

Duan Siming was stunned and said: "Do you know the county magistrate here?"

Murong Yunyao said: "Of course I don't know him."

Duan Siming said in confusion: "Then why would he tell you the details?"

Murong Yunyao patted the sword on his back and pointed at Duan Siming, saying: "What's so difficult about this? As long as I hold you hostage to see him, I think he, as a parent official, will not put anyone's life at risk for a case.

Am I right, Prince Duan?"

"Help!" Duan Siming shouted, and suddenly floated out on his tiptoes. He jumped up and wanted to jump onto the roof behind him. But when his body was in the air, he suddenly felt that the clothes behind him seemed to be caught.

Then he pulled hard and his whole body fell heavily to the ground.

Duan Siming fell to the ground, and it took him a while to come back to his senses, "You stinky girl! You have evil intentions, harbor evil intentions, have ulterior motives, have bad intentions, have bad intentions, have evil intentions, commit trouble, and destroy the nine tribes..."

Murong Yunyao bent down, looked at Duan Siming curiously, and said: "I have only heard that people in Dali can speak Chinese, but I didn't expect that the prince of Dali can speak idioms better than me. Keep talking, I want to see it

How many more can you name!"

Duan Siming got up from the ground and strode into the Qingping County Government Office without hesitation. Murong Yunyao was shocked when he saw this and said hurriedly: "You just barged in like this? Aren't you afraid that the county magistrate will punish you?"

"Don't be afraid!" Duan Siming said without looking back: "It's best to give me a death sentence, so that I don't have to be tortured by you, a stinky girl! I miss my father, and I want to reunite with him!"

Murong Yunyao shrugged and said: "I didn't expect that my martial arts skills have improved so much in three months, and I can actually turn a good prince into a lunatic who doesn't care about death? I want to see who dares to mess with me in the future.

!" She found it funny when she thought about Duan Siming's cowardice, and couldn't help but slow down.

Suddenly, Murong Yunyao heard Duan Siming's heart-rending scream coming from the county office. She was about to rush in when she heard him shout: "Bold bitch! I am the majestic prince of Dali Kingdom. How dare you?

How dare you spank me with such a heavy board!"

Murong Yunyao smiled slightly and said to herself, "Who told you to barge in so unscrupulously? You really think this is your country of Dali! It would be weird if I didn't beat you!" She thought about it and her steps became faster, and in the blink of an eye she was gone.

When she arrived at the main hall of the county government office, she saw that Duan Siming had been stripped of his shirt by the government officials. He was lying on a bench and was being tortured with a cane. His buttocks had been beaten to pieces.

Duan Siming yelled: "Smelly girl, help! You quickly make this dog official stop, otherwise I will really be beaten to death!"

Murong Yunyao nodded slightly, looked at the cruel-faced county magistrate in the hall, and shouted: "Guan Gu, why do you beat someone without asking any questions? I order you to let him go! Although he is indeed not a good person, he is not a good person.

It’s not your turn to hit him!”

"Oh, really?" The county magistrate sneered, looked at Murong Yunyao contemptuously and said: "I don't know who this little lady is. She dares to yell in front of this magistrate. Do you think you are the princess of the Song Dynasty!

"

Murong Yunyao rolled her eyes slightly and said sternly: "I am the thousand-year-old cousin of the Eight Kings. If you dare to disobey my order, you will be asked to taste the power of the concave gold mace someday!"

The county magistrate was slightly startled when he heard this, and then laughed and said: "Hahaha, this boy claims to be the prince of Dali, and you claim to be the cousin of the Eighth Prince. The county is really prosperous today! But you pretended to be a relative of the emperor.

But it’s a capital crime. This guy is from Dali and doesn’t understand the rules of the Song Dynasty. Don’t you understand it too, girl?”

As he spoke, he took the command arrow from the table in front of him, threw it heavily into the hall, and shouted: "Come here, take off the clothes of this little girl who pretends to be the emperor's relative and beat her to death with a stick, so that she dares to do it again."

It’s rampant in front of this county!”

"Yes!" Seeing the beautiful little lady in front of them, all the government officials gathered around them with ill intentions. The government official closest to Murong Yunyao actually reached out to untie her outer shirt. Murong Yunyao subconsciously stepped back.

He dodged, and immediately the sword was unsheathed. With one strike, the man's right hand was cut off completely, and blood spurted out.

The government officer rolled on the ground with his arms folded, screaming incessantly. All the government officials were stunned when they saw this, and for a moment no one dared to take another step forward. The county magistrate saw that the situation was not good, and gave him a heavy slap.

He shouted: "What are you still doing? Get this guy who resisted arrest and assaulted the police officer quickly!"

Murong Yunyao held the sword to her chest and asked: "Gun Guan! I am here to ask you a few questions, why do you want to execute me for no reason? In your opinion, human life is not even a piece of grass."

Isn’t it better?”

Hearing this, the county magistrate snorted coldly: "This county has always enforced the law impartially and cared about the people. But you people who pretend to be the emperor's relatives and disturb the court must be severely punished!" He waved his hand and ordered: "Quickly.

, take her down to me!"

Murong Yunyao smiled coldly and said: "Official dog, since you want to kill innocent people indiscriminately, then don't blame me for being ruthless. Today I will take your head from the neck of an official like you to eliminate harm for the people!" she said

With a sword drawn out suddenly, the murderous intention on the sword was like a river rushing to the sea, magnificent and endless.

Taking advantage of the large number of people, all the government officials rushed towards her with water and fire sticks in their hands. Seeing the situation, Murong Yunyao swung her long sword in her hand, and instantly turned into a thunderbolt, attacking the people who were rushing towards her. Duan Siming seemed to have forgotten at this moment.

After feeling the pain, he kept clapping his hands and cheering.

Just when the two sides were about to fight, a young man's voice suddenly came from in front of the Yamen, "Everyone, stop! The Lord Zhizhouhou of Yongzhou is here!" All the Yamen servants seemed to be a little unfamiliar with the visitor, but Murong Yunyao and the county

When they heard that the person coming was Lord Zhizhouhou of Yongzhou, they all obeyed and stopped.

As soon as he finished speaking, two men in official uniforms walked slowly to the lobby of the county government. The man with a slightly higher status among them was nearly forty years old, shrewd and brave. The other was just past his prime.

, was born in a gentle manner, and even though he was wearing official uniform, he could not hide his handsomeness.

When Murong Yunyao saw this young man, he hurried over and said kindly: "Brother Pingzhong, why are you here? I remember you were sent to Cheng'an by the emperor three years ago, how did you end up in Yongzhou?

coming?"

Before the young man could speak, Zhizhou Hou Renbao asked first: "Brother Kou Xian, is this girl your friend? Why have I never heard you mention it?"

The young man smiled and said: "To be honest, sir, she is the daughter of Murong Hualong. I made trouble in her house three years ago when I was taking the imperial examination in Beijing. I was fortunate enough to have met her several times. Later I heard that Lord Murong died in the border battle."

, I am a humble minister and I am often busy with official duties, so I have not seen him for several years."

Hou Renbao nodded, "I see. I have heard that Brother Kou Xian has many friends, but I didn't expect that he actually has some friendship with Master Murong's daughter. It is really beyond Brother Yu's expectation!" After saying this, he looked at the county magistrate and said: "Tao Rong, I am the official

I just heard that you want to capture Miss Murong, may I ask what crime she committed?"

Tao Rongzhan said tremblingly: "My lord... Sir Rongzhen, Miss Murong...she pretended to be a relative of the emperor and claimed to be the thousand-year-old cousin of the Eighth Prince. It was difficult for the lower officials to identify her, so he ordered her to be captured and taken to Yongzhou.

I wanted to rely on your wise decision, but you came to the county in person. It is really a great honor for our county!"

Hou Renbao snorted coldly and said: "Tao Rong! You are really deaf to what is going on outside the window and only focus on reading the Sutra of Flattery!"

Tao Rong hurriedly knelt down in front of Hou Renbao and asked: "Master Hou, I dare to ask, is this Miss Murong really related to the Eighth Prince Qian Sui?"

Hou Renbao nodded, "That's natural! A few months ago, the Eighth Prince Qiansui met his cousin Yun Zixiao and Miss Murong by chance on Bianhe Street. At that time, this Miss Murong had recognized Yun Zixiao as her brother, so the Eighth Prince

Chitose also recognized this girl Murong as his cousin, do you understand?"

Tao Rong scratched his head and said with a smile: "This... this subordinate still doesn't understand, but since Master Zhizhou said so, there must be nothing wrong! This girl Murong must be the cousin of the Eighth Prince." He
