The Age of Lords Reborn

Chapter 186 The county lieutenant enters the urn (first update, please subscribe)
When night fell in Ziwu County, the entire county was silent.

Although there were fires flickering on the city wall, they could only illuminate a small piece of flat ground in front of the city gate.

"I heard that the new county magistrate gives three silver coins to each of the newly recruited recruits every month."

"Isn't it? The new county magistrate is much more generous than the previous county magistrate Zhou."

"Not only is it generous, it's also powerful. You haven't heard the watchman watching the night, have you? Let me tell you, the watchman has already been arrested."

"Why catch the watchman? Did he commit a crime?"

"It must have been a crime, and it's a big one."

Two or three city guards were leaning against the top of the city and chatting one after another. Just as they were talking about 'watchman', there were suddenly loud footsteps outside the city.

"someone is coming?"

Hearing footsteps outside the city, the three of them immediately turned their heads to look down the city, and soon discovered that the people who came were also soldiers from the county.

And their leader is none other than County Captain He Yin.

He Yin just rushed to the bottom of the city, and immediately shouted towards the top of the city: "Open the door, open the door for me quickly."

"Is it the county lieutenant?"

"Nonsense, open the door for me."

Outside the county seat, the chubby He Yin was sitting on horseback, with a look of impatience on his face: "I heard the news that the new county magistrate has captured the leader of the thief, so I returned to the city at night, open the door for me."

"Here, County Captain, wait a moment, I'll open the door later."

Although there was an order from the imperial court not to open the door after nightfall, but the county lieutenant came back outside the door, how could a few soldiers dare to stop him, they nodded and agreed to go down and open the door immediately.

When the city gate opened, He Yin immediately rushed into the city with more than two hundred brothers under his command.After a few people walked out of the city gate and entered the streets on both sides, He Yin suddenly realized that something was wrong.

Although the city should be very quiet after nightfall, no matter how quiet it is, there will be no sound at all.

At the same time, the city gate had been closed again by the night watchmen.

"No, there are changes in the city."

"Brothers, rush out first with me!"

After He Yin took two steps forward, he immediately reined in his horse and turned around, and the moment he turned around, figures immediately appeared on the top of the city wall and the stone stairs on the city wall.

Afterwards, lights appeared in the houses on both sides of the street, and a soldier walked out one after another.

"County He? Where do you want to go?"

From a private house not far from He Yin, Mo Xiaobai came out with Li Ji, Li Guang, Guo Jia and others, and looked at He Yin with a smile: "I want to leave so eagerly, because I want to be a real bandit." identity?"

"Who are you, don't spit blood here!"

Surrounded by hundreds of numbers that suddenly appeared in the city, He Yin's face immediately sank, turned to look at Mo Xiaobai, and said coldly: "Now the county captain suspects that you are the murderer who killed the former county magistrate, sons and daughters, let me Kill him and avenge the county magistrate!"

"Unbelievable!"

Looking at the group of county soldiers rushing towards him, Mo Xiaobai's face remained unchanged.

twenty steps

fifteen steps

ten steps
It was only a short tens of meters, and the county soldiers were not slow to charge. However, when they rushed to a position less than ten meters in front of Mo Xiaobai, the soles of their feet suddenly sank, and they fell into it one by one.

At the same time, Li Guang also moved.

Zhang Gong set the arrow in one go, without even aiming, the sharp arrow flew straight to the county lieutenant's left shoulder.

With just one arrow, the county lieutenant was shot off his horse.

As for why he didn't shoot the county lieutenant, it was entirely because of Mo Xiaobai's order, and it was still useful for him to keep He Yin's head.

When He Yin fell off his horse, the battle, which was not even a turmoil, came to an end soon.After Li Ji and Li Guang joined the battle circle, and killed a few He Yin diehards, everyone else obediently put down their weapons.

For these county soldiers, Li Ji and Li Guang are undoubtedly the two killing gods.

Can neither fight nor escape.

If you don't want to die, you can only put down your weapons and surrender.

Looking at He Yin who was tied up in front of him by Wuhuada, Mo Xiaobai smiled lowly and said, "Don't you want to know who I am? I am the new county magistrate, and I came to Ziwu County to deal with you corrupt officials."

"Do you really want to know why I knew you would come back? The answer is also very simple. The news you learned outside the city was all released on purpose by me. Whether it was from the county government to the townships, or the Zhou government I sent someone to find you directly, it was all on my own initiative, it just depends on whether you take the bait or not."

"Now it seems that you really didn't disappoint me. With a little trick, you came back obediently, and saved me from going out of the city and guessing where you are hiding."

"Mao Gong, take him away and let him meet the watchman and Miss Yun!"

The progress of the matter was smoother than Mo Xiaobai imagined. Although it was already the second night, Mo Xiaobai reckoned that he could almost complete all the dungeons ahead of schedule.

When Li Ji pushed He Yin and other county soldiers to leave, Mo Xiaobai smiled and said to Li Guang: "This time, it is also thanks to the flying general, who spent a long time during the day in exchange for tonight's results."

"It all depends on the lord's strategizing, and he will only follow orders in the end."

"Don't be humble. Fortunately, you keep an eye on it. I really didn't expect that the Zhou family would not go to investigate the situation in the city. Instead, they would first contact the county captain outside the city. But now, since he conspired with the county captain, obviously It’s inescapable.”

Mo Xiaobai joked with a smile, then shook his head and sighed: "The matter in Ziwu County has been roughly figured out now, and the only thing that can't be explained now is only one thing."

"The lord said, but the method of killing?"

Guo Jia added a sentence at the right time, shaking his head at the same time: "Jia has always had doubts. Even if he had planned to kill Zhou Yi, he would not poke dozens of holes in his body. No matter how big the enemy is, A person's death is like a lamp being extinguished, so it really shouldn't be destroyed by such means."

Destroy the corpse?

Four words flashed through his mind, and Mo Xiaobai, who was about to turn around and go back to the county office, gave a sudden pause: "What did you say, Feng Xiao?"

"My lord, is this?"

"You just said, destroying corpses and destroying traces?"

"Is there anything wrong with what Jiasuo said? How is such an act different from destroying the corpse?"

"It's the same as destroying corpses, but what you said may be the truth. Destroying corpses is not the purpose, the purpose is to destroy traces."

Mo Xiaobai's brain hole opened up, and his ability to associate is also very rich: "Do you still remember what the housekeeper said when we went to Zhou's mansion? He said that everything in the mansion was not arranged by Zhou Ding, but by the lady." At the time, I just thought it was strange, but Zhou Ding seemed to be overly sad, so I didn't think about it."

"If you think about it now, this sentence itself is full of doubts. Who are the two brothers Zhou Yi and Zhou Ding? Who is alive in the end? Who is dead?"

Brothers of the Zhou family, which of the two will live and die?
When the question about the protagonist came up, even Guo Jia, who is both wise and demonic, was unavoidably stunned, and at the same time recalled the first time he heard about Zhou Yi's death.

The head and stomach are covered with small holes like wooden hairpins!

If the murderer didn't have a morbid habit of torturing corpses, he must be covering up something!
