"Where is the little official who killed people?" Lu Huahua looked around and asked with a frown.
"The clerk ran away with his wife and is currently being arrested. I believe it won't be long before the criminal is caught and brought to justice." A middle-aged man wearing government officials' clothes, but who seemed to be of a higher rank than ordinary government officials, solemnly said
answer.
Listening to the words of the yamen servant, Yi Xifeng had a feeling in his heart, wife? The clerk who was killing civilians on the street could be the same person just now.
"Is his wife wearing heavy makeup, as if the powder on her face is about to fall off?" Yi Xifeng asked uncertainly.
"yes!"
"Do you know what the background of this little official is?"
"This clerk's name is Niu Er. He has just joined our yamen a few months ago. He was once a commoner. He was the lowest in the yamen and treated everyone with respect. Unexpectedly, he kept bullying the people outside. More
The reason why such a big incident happened is because the Yamen chose people poorly."
"Captain Chen, there is no need to blame yourself. This matter is not simple." Lu Huahua shook her head solemnly, "During this period, there have been countless incidents of petty officials oppressing the people in the city, and even officials killing civilians on the street.
It’s not just this one, I’m afraid there must be something wrong with it.”
"Is there something fishy in this matter?" Detective Chen seemed to have been awakened by Lu Huahua's words and looked at everyone suspiciously.
"He and his wife must be caught. His wife is especially important." Yi Xifeng remembered the look in the eyes of the clerk's wife in the market after he revealed that he had resigned partly. Although the vigilant look in his eyes
It was fleeting but there was obviously something wrong. His wife might be hiding something.
As for the little official, during Yi Xifeng's contact, he bullied the people and even wanted to cut himself with a knife. However, what the little official did at that time was simply irrational. It was not for money. So from his standpoint
, something is wrong.
Because injuring a civilian will not bring him much benefit. On the contrary, injuring a civilian will definitely have a huge negative impact on him.
He is a petty official, even the smallest official is still an official. As long as everything goes smoothly and no big trouble is caused, this bowl of rice will be enough for him to last a lifetime, and he usually seems to bully the people a lot, so he must have a lot of demands.
Although the money would not be too much, it should satisfy the appetite of a petty official who had just been promoted from a commoner to a petty official.
Why did he still kill people? Because of anger, that shouldn't be the case. Moreover, we can know from Lu Huahua's words that there was more than one incident of officials killing people in the street.
These things are like doubts floating in the sky over this city.
There are too many puzzling events and not enough clues.
"This matter must be investigated clearly. There are so many incidents of officials oppressing the people across the country. This matter is too unusual."
"Why do you have to find out about these things?" Yi Xifeng could sense Lu Huahua's anxiety. She seemed to have an obsession with this matter that went beyond her status.
Warriors are generally dedicated to the Tao. Whether it is physical training or Qi training, it is their duty to improve their own strength. However, Lu Huahua was once a warrior from outside the family and now has joined the Ice and Snow Holy Land, but she is so concerned about these mundane things.
"Our Lu family is the chief auxiliary family of the Far East Kingdom." Lu Huahua broke the shocking news.
What's even more shocking is yet to come, Lu Huahua continued, "The mission of the Lu family has always been to stabilize the situation within the Far East Kingdom, so they are extremely sensitive to events within the Far East Kingdom. In recent times, many people have reported to the officials and been oppressed by officials.
Collect the opening tax. This money is not collected by the government, and this happens in various cities in the Far Eastern Kingdom. Many ordinary merchants cannot afford the opening tax, so they will be beaten by petty officials."
"Is this the case all over the country?" Yi Xifeng handed over his father-in-law, who was still unconscious but in obviously stable condition, to the Yamen, "Then this matter may not be simple."
"Yes, what I'm afraid of is that there are people operating behind the scenes. The purpose is to disturb the hearts and minds of the people of the Far East Kingdom, disturb the stability of the Far Eastern Kingdom, and make the people lose expectations for the court of the Far Eastern Kingdom."
"If this is really the case, then there must be a connection between the small officials who did these things, or there must be an organization." Just as Yi Xifeng was thinking about it, the small official was finally arrested and brought back, along with
His wife.
At this moment, the clerk was already disheartened. He lowered his head and did not look at anyone or speak.
The clerk's wife kept resisting, "Why should you arrest me? I didn't kill anyone."
"Let my wife go, I did it all by myself." The clerk raised his head to speak at this time, and his eyes were on the old man who was carried away by the doctor. His eyes were dark, and his face showed the look of having done something irreparable.
Feeling of guilt.
"Did you kill this person?" The officer began to torture the petty official.
"Exactly!"
"Why did you kill him? As an official working for the court, why did you abandon your official uniform to kill a commoner? Do you have a grudge against him?"
"There is no grudge. I only collected business tax from him a few times."
"Then why did you kill him!?"
"I don't know, I just feel a anger burning in my heart, which makes me have to draw a knife to kill people."
Hearing these words, Yi Xifeng suddenly remembered that the clerk was doing the same thing when facing him. He just slashed with his sword. He didn't think anything happened at the time. Now that he thought about it, this man's mind seemed to be affected by something.
He became irritable and manic in his behavior, completely unlike a normal person.
At this moment, the clerk had obviously calmed down, his face was ashen, and he did not look like the kind of ferocious man who would kill people in the street.
"Then do you know what you were doing at that time?" Yi Xifeng asked.
The clerk saw Yi Xifeng at this moment and asked, "Why are you here too?"
"Answer quickly!" The officer slapped the clerk on the body with his stick, telling him to be more honest.
"I know, but the anger in my heart makes me unable to control myself, as if I have to see blood to calm down." The clerk answered honestly about his feelings at that time.
It sounds like he is controlled by someone, or a magic weapon that affects other people's minds. I feel that although this petty official has the habit of collecting people's money and being greedy for small benefits, he is very timid and is definitely not the kind of violent person who kills people in the street.
person, then I'm afraid there is someone else behind the scenes who is operating all of this.
Yi Xifeng looked around and thought, if there is such a person who can not only influence the mind of the petty official, causing him to burn with anger, but also control it all, so that he can kill people in the street at the exact moment when his anger is aroused.
There were enough people watching all this, so this person must have been there.
There were so many people watching at that time, and they probably all dispersed. Who could that person be?
