The Ming Dynasty: Starting with the Somersault Cloud, Old Zhu was so envious he cried!

The hot pot was bubbling away.

Zhu Ming conjured a roast suckling pig using a gourmet tablecloth.

He grabbed it with both hands, snapped it in one bite, and the head was gone.

Another bite, and half his body was gone.

The last bite was so clean that not even the bones were left.

Three people and one pig.

Clean and neat.

Xu Miaoyun: "..."

Fan Changyu: "..."

Xiaoyu: "..."

The three of them stared in disbelief, their jaws practically dropping to the floor.

This appetite... is he even human?

Xu Miaoyun suppressed her shock, looked around, and then lowered her voice to say:

"Sixth Prince, aren't we being too conspicuous?"

Fan Changyu, who was standing to the side, nodded in agreement.

"Yes, Your Highness."

"If you're hungry, how about we go back to the restaurant and eat there? My place may be a bit small, but it's quiet."

Zhu Ming looked up from the bowl, a few grains of rice still clinging to his face.

He blinked, looking puzzled, and said:

"Why make it so complicated?"

"This place is so big, why can't we eat here?"

Xu Miaoyun didn't speak, but simply pointed around.

Zhu Ming looked in the direction she pointed.

Wow, that's impressive.

Three layers inside, three layers outside.

It was full of people.

It turned out that the commotion they had just caused had already spread throughout the entire county.

The area was already surrounded by onlookers.

They dared not approach.

They didn't leave.

They stood far away, craning their necks to look this way, and occasionally whispering and discussing amongst themselves.

Zhu Ming: "..."

He looked down at the meat in the pot.

He looked up again at the crowd of onlookers.

Then, calmly pick up a piece of meat and put it in his mouth.

"Let them look, it's not like it'll hurt them."

"Come on, you guys eat too, don't just stare at me."

The three people: "..."

The Sixth Prince has a truly big heart!

Before long, a series of hurried footsteps approached from afar.

"Get out of the way! Everyone get out of the way!"

"The county magistrate has arrived!"

Upon hearing this, the onlookers quickly made way for them.

The county magistrate, dressed in his official robes, walked with a swagger, accompanied by a large group of yamen runners.

As he walked, he stroked his beard, his face bearing an expression that said, "I'm very angry."

When he arrived at the scene,

The county magistrate first waved his hand and shouted sternly:

"Surround this area for me!"

"Don't let a single one escape!"

The constables responded in unison and scattered in a flash, completely surrounding the scene.

The county magistrate then walked over to Qian Youde.

He crouched down and reached out to check his breath.

Hmm, it's out of air.

He touched his neck again.

Yes, it's completely cold.

The county magistrate was finally relieved.

He stood up, dusted off his hands, and a cold smile curled at the corner of his mouth.

You son of a bitch, Qian Youde, you've finally met your match!

Do you know how long I've been waiting for this day?

However, although the county magistrate hated Qian Youde.

They resented him for colluding with several powerful local families to strip them of their power.

No matter what you say.

Qian Youde was also his colleague, a high-ranking official of the eighth rank in the imperial court.

Now the county magistrate has been killed in the street, and so many soldiers have also died.

As the county magistrate, it wouldn't make sense if he didn't take any action.

There was no way to explain this to the imperial court.

The county magistrate straightened his official robes and cleared his throat.

He was just about to ask his subordinates.

Who exactly is the murderer?

"My lord!! My lord, please uphold justice for the people!!"

A cry suddenly rang out.

A young man came running from the direction of the county magistrate's office, fell to his knees with a thud, and grabbed the county magistrate's leg.

"My lord! My father died a terrible death!"

"Please, Your Honor, do justice for my father!"

Followed by.

A large group of people poured out of the county magistrate's residence.

Old and young, men and women, crying and shouting, they were all Qian Youde's family members.

Just now, after seeing Zhu Ming and his group kill someone, these people not only didn't leave, but instead started having hot pot in the street. They were incredibly arrogant!

They were so frightened that they all huddled at home, not daring to even peek out.

Now the county magistrate has arrived, and he's brought so many yamen runners with him.

They naturally gained confidence.

They all rushed out at once, crying and begging the county magistrate to do justice for them.

The county magistrate looked down at the young man clinging to his leg.

The guy cried so hard that he wiped his snot and tears all over his brand-new official robe.

It disgusted him.

The county magistrate's lips twitched.

I wish I could kick this guy away.

But outwardly, he couldn't do that.

He could only suppress his discomfort, force a compassionate expression, and offer words of comfort:

"My dear nephew, please accept my condolences."

"I will certainly handle your father's matter impartially."

After saying this, the county magistrate patted the young man on the shoulder, signaling him to get up quickly.

"Stand up and speak."

"Tell me, who is the murderer?"

These words were mainly meant to reassure the other party.

In the eyes of the county magistrate

After killing someone, the murderer would probably just pack up and leave.

Are you suggesting he stay here and wait for someone to arrest him?

That's just pure brain-dead idiocy.

not to mention--

He deliberately dawdled for quite a while on his way here.

After tidying up their official robes and counting their servants, they dawdled for quite a while before finally setting off.

Judging by the time, those righteous men... no, those bandits must have already escaped outside the city.

In such a vast sea of ​​people, where will he find them?

This case could only be left unresolved.

perfect!

but,

There was one thing that puzzled him greatly.

A murder clearly occurred here.

Why are there still people eating hot pot here?

It's bubbling away, and the aroma is wafting over.

What's going on?

The county magistrate frowned, his gaze involuntarily drifting towards the hot pot table.

But at that moment,

The young man raised his hand shakily and pointed in the same direction.

"S-Sir..."

"The killer is right there!"

The county magistrate was taken aback.

Look again.

Beside the hot pot table.

A young child was holding a large pig's trotter, gnawing on it with grease dripping from his mouth.

Noticing someone watching him, the little guy even looked up and waved at the county magistrate.

"Hi!"

The county magistrate: "..."

They actually stayed.

That's really... brain-dead!

This scene caught the county magistrate off guard.

He had assumed the murderer had long since escaped.

Unexpectedly, they hadn't left at all.

Still at the scene... gnawing on pig's trotters.

Is this pig's trotter really that delicious?

This is a bit tricky.

The county magistrate gave a wink to the bailiff standing to the side.

The constables understood immediately and rushed forward in a flash.

They instantly surrounded Zhu Ming and his group.

The knives, spears, and clubs in their hands were all aimed at Zhu Ming.

Immediately afterwards, the county magistrate walked over slowly with a pigeon-toed gait.

There was still a hint of heartache in his eyes.

These robbers are way too honest!

You killed someone, so why don't you run away!

If you run away, then I won't be able to catch you, right?

How could you be so stupid!

This is fine.

The suspect was caught red-handed and apprehended on the spot.

In order to give an explanation to the imperial court and to give an explanation to the people.

He had no choice but to make the painful decision to bring these robbers to justice.

The county magistrate sighed, his face showing an expression that said, "I am also helpless."

He walked up to Zhu Ming and said in a deep voice:

"You audacious madman!"

"How dare they murder a high-ranking official of the imperial court in broad daylight!"

"Surrender now!"
