Chapter 884
During this period, a major event happened in Lucheng, which is still far away from the capital, which made the people in the city a little panicked. Rumors spread all over the place, and even Lin Qiusheng's family was a little scared. Stay at home obediently.

The so-called major event is that the shopkeeper of a teahouse in Lucheng was killed in broad daylight in the teahouse, and there were many witnesses who witnessed the death of the shopkeeper, but they had no ability to save him from the sword .

As soon as this matter happened, there was an uproar in Lucheng. In the streets and alleys, and in the major shops, there were all groups of people discussing this matter together.

Even the guys at Lo-Mei Zhai had a good chat, just because they all knew the shopkeeper.

"I really don't know what evil he did. Although the shopkeeper is not very lovable, he is a bit vile and vulgar, but it is a living life. It is a pity that he disappeared under the blue sky!"

When they are free, the guys don't forget to sit together and chat.

"Isn't it? I heard that the death was terrible! Those who ate and drank tea in the store at that time saw it with their own eyes, and many people were scared to shit!"

He was even more daring, and even ran to have a look, but was stopped by the county government officials, and no one saw what was going on inside.

Listening to what they were talking about, Xun, who helped sweep the floor and tidy up the hall, couldn't help but frowned, "It's better not to talk about these things, so as not to cause unnecessary trouble!"

The Xun family is an ordinary person, so they naturally think that it is better to save one thing than to do more. Under such circumstances, they must pay more attention to their own words and deeds, so as not to cause a mess.

"Auntie, we're just chatting, nothing will happen!" Zhou Qiang smiled, reached out to take the broom in her hand, and helped her sweep the floor.

Although the words are not very pleasant, everyone respects her elders and treats her very well, and she treats people kindly and cares for them on weekdays, just like her own mother.

"Anyway, you all have to be good, don't get involved in this matter, let alone join in the fun, what's so good about it!"

Just now she heard that someone went to see it specially. It was something that people with their heads caught in the door would do if they were unconscious!

Just now, Chunya wanted to go out to find the man in the blacksmith shop, but she scolded her and went back to the house!

When the staff in the room heard this, they all nodded in unison, and repeatedly promised to obey her words, which had absolutely nothing to do with this matter, so Xun turned around and left in satisfaction.

The most troublesome thing now is the newly appointed county magistrate. It was originally a murder case, but it happened in full view. Even if he wanted to investigate it casually, it was impossible. Focus on this.

Even the common people signed a letter, asking him to bring the murderer to justice and return them a peaceful environment.

"Could it be that it's just a bad year, why did this happen when you first took office?" Sitting in the county office, the county magistrate couldn't help scratching his head, looked at the master beside him, and asked helplessly.

He just took office, how could he be so lucky to be bumped into this kind of thing.

Presumably, since Ye Qing left Lucheng, Yi Jian also vacated the county magistrate's seat, packed up and returned to Beijing, and he was sent to take the county magistrate's position.

I thought it was a good job, but it turned out to be a hard job!

Apparently, the master also had a headache, "My lord, the most important thing now is how to appease the people in the city. The shock that day was not small!"

There was also a document passed down from above on the table, strictly ordering them to find out the murderer, and not to be perfunctory.

In this way, even if they want to be perfunctory and find someone to replace the crime, it is impossible!

"You think I don't know, but how to appease the frightened people, how difficult it is!" The county magistrate is now the head and two elders, yelling at the master in a cold voice.

What the latter didn't know was that someone had sent him a letter earlier asking him to stop the investigation, otherwise he would not be able to bear the consequences.

Being able to kill people so ostentatiously in the city already shows that the person has a lot of background, how dare he go deep into the investigation, isn't this what makes him offend others?
"Chunya, mother is also doing it for your own good. Your girl's family runs out all day, how can you look like a girl's family?"

Here Du Juan is still in the house persuading Chun Ya, just because the Xun family didn't let her go out just now, this girl is hiding in the house and crying, saying that they are preventing her from finding happiness, and she doesn't know what she is Talking about where to follow.

After persuading her with good words for a long time, Chun Ya had a little reaction, but said with a sob: "I just went out to find him, so I became a disorderly girl."

It turned out that all she cared about was her mother's earlier remark of 'indiscretion'. Her marriage has been so troublesome, so what does it matter to follow her? How did she become 'indiscreet'?

Suddenly, after she said this, Du Juan fell silent, probably because she couldn't find words to say, she really didn't expect such words to exist in the middle.

The speed at which the news spread has completely exceeded the imagination of the county magistrate. I thought it was just that the superiors took this matter very seriously, but I didn't expect that I would receive a letter from the current Seventh Prince. The letter even told him that if this matter cannot be investigated, he will Will consider switching to another person to check.

Feng Jingyu's meaning is obvious, but the new county magistrate was originally appointed by the Seventh Prince, since he can let him take office, he can also let someone else take office, how could he not understand the meaning of this.

Facing the double pressure, the county magistrate was even more miserable, neither would he be investigated, nor would he not be investigated.After much deliberation, I still feel that it is the best choice to investigate. Then he can still be regarded as an official of the imperial court, and at least he can gain the trust of the seventh prince!
After he figured this out, he ordered people to check the situation of that day one by one, and even asked people to investigate the background of the shopkeeper and who he had been in contact with recently.

In this way, you can find out something by following the clues.

But, after all, this is what the county magistrate thought too well!
After such a thing happened, even the business was in a downturn, and the originally noisy street became a little quieter, and everyone dared not go out with their doors closed, for fear of encountering such a thing.

Sitting in front of the store, looking at the bustling street, Qiu Sheng couldn't help sighing. He really hoped that the county government could find out the murderer as soon as possible and restore the old days.

"Master, there is news from the First Prince!"
