Chapter 448: Plain Murder

Three days later, Yuan Xi and his group came here in Pingyuan City, the Pingyuan County District, Qingzhou, on the bustling streets.

"Is it the Lone! Oh! I heard that Uncle Liu had served as the magistrate of Pingyuan County?" Yuan Xi suddenly asked softly, looking at Zhang Fei who was vigilant in all directions.

Zhang Fei was stunned, and a trace of remembrance flashed in his eyes and said, "Yes, young master, my elder brother followed Tian Kai back then, and later Cao Cao's troops slaughtered Xuzhou. The elder brother led his troops to rescue him and left since then."

"So that's it. The emperor's heart of benevolence and righteousness is admired by the whole world." Yuan Xi praised with a sincere face, as if he had completely forgotten that it was the killing order he ordered the military command to give Liu Bei regrets Yecheng.

Who in the world is the thickest face? It is the overlords who contain too many secrets and too much darkness in their hearts. At this time, what is not recorded in historical books is just their kindness, love for the people, kindness and justice.

"Mr. Xie praised him" Zhang Fei said gratefully.

"Young Master, along the way, the prefects and county magistrates from all over the country are still very responsible. Pingyuan City was not so prosperous before," Tian Feng praised.

"Who is the prefect of Pingyuan County?" Yuan Xi nodded and asked. It is really hard to remember the prefect of a county today.

"King, have you forgotten that the current prefect of Pingyuan County is because of the reason why Shen Hui, the son of Lord Shen, is in the top 50 in the exam. You personally ordered it," Han Yan reminded with a smile.

"Oh! Yes, I remembered that Zijie was arranged here." Yuan Xi reacted. Because of Shen Pei's death, Yuan Xi apologized to the Shen family. So after Shen Hui passed the exam, he was directly promoted to the prefect of a county. This was far from being comparable to other students except the top three. It happened that the prefect of Pingyuan County resigned at that time, so Shen Hui immediately became the head of a county from the down-and-out son of a family.

"Now, looking at the situation, the prefect Shen has done a good job and has not disappointed his father's reputation," Pang Tong praised.

Yuan Xi nodded and said, "Shangshutai should pay more attention to these heroes below, talented and capable. When the time comes, you should promote it."

"Understand" Han Yan smiled.

Tian Feng, who was not talking, suddenly felt relieved and a hint of relief appeared on his face. Shen Pei had a good relationship with him, and Shen Hui was his nephew, and Tian Feng had always paid great attention to him, but he needed to avoid suspicion in this matter, which was inconvenient to say.

After walking for a while, the group suddenly saw many people gathering in a house not far to the left, as if watching the fun, but the surprise on their faces did not seem to be very similar.

"What's wrong?" Yuan Xi said curiously.

"Young Master, Yi go and ask." Sima Yi immediately ran into the crowd.

After a while, Sima Yi walked back and said seriously: "Young master, a murder case has occurred. A young woman hangs herself. The yamen runner has arrived."

Yuan Xi frowned and said, "Let's go and have a look."

"promise!"

After the group came to the crowd, Zhang Fei and Hu Niuer immediately squeezed out a road with the soldiers of the Shenwei Army. The people were still a little dissatisfied at first, but when they saw Zhang Fei and Hu Niuer's fierce face, they immediately made a little bit aside.

When Yuan Xi brought people outside the house, two yamen runners were guarding the door to maintain order.

"If you want to say that Li Laoliu is really unlucky. He only married a wife at the age of thirty. Unexpectedly, his wife was seriously ill after only two years."

"Liu is also in a miserable state. I guess he can't survive anymore, so he committed suicide by hanging himself."

"yes!"..

Hearing the discussion around, a trace of seriousness flashed across Yuan Xi's face. In this era, the most feared thing is to get sick! First, the medical field is slow development, and second, it requires a lot of money to see a doctor. This is something that ordinary families cannot afford, so many people do not die of illness, but are dragged to death directly.

"Take him down" At this time, a sound that seemed familiar sounded in Yuan Xi's ears. A man dressed in a farmer and thin body suddenly rushed out of the house with a look of fear. The guard's yamen runner immediately rushed up to capture him.

"Is it Li Laoliu?"

"What's going on?"

The people were immediately surprised.

"Let go, let go, I'm not the murderer, how could I kill my wife?" Li Laoliu struggled violently.

"Yes! Li Laoliu is good to his wife"

"You can't be wronged by a good person!"

The people around him were suddenly quit and said in a whim.

At this time, a man with short beards, wearing soap clothes, holding a wine pot in his hand, seemed a little confused and seemed quite defeated, walked out.

After hearing the dissatisfaction around him, the man sneered a little and said, "Li Laoliu, what you mean is to say is a false accusation of you."

"No, sir, I made a mistake." Li Lao Liu said unwillingly.

"Then why do you want to run away?" the man said seriously.

"I, I was scared," Li Laoliu said hurriedly.

"Is that true?" the man stood up and looked at the gathering people and said, "Everyone doesn't seem to believe it, let's come in and take a look."

Hearing this, the people immediately followed in curiously. Yuan Xi looked at the yamen runner in front of him, and a trace of doubt flashed in his eyes.

"King, this person is so familiar! It seems that he has seen it somewhere," Han Yan suddenly said softly.

Yuan Xi nodded and said, "Let's go and have a look, too."

"promise!"

After coming to the outside of the main hall inside the house, Li Laoliu was thrown to the ground by the yamen runners. A middle-aged woman was hanging on a rope on the hanging beam, which caused a lot of fear.

The man pointed to the body and said, "Li Laoliu, you said that after you came back from business outside, you saw your wife hanging on the hanging beam, right?"

"Yes, she doesn't want to implicate me!" Li Laoliu cried bitterly.

The man shook his head and smiled, saying, "You are a vegetable seller. You must bring a basket when you go out. I asked you, where is the basket after you come back?"

Li Laoliu's pupils shrank and he said, "I was too scared at that time, so I don't remember it."

"I don't remember, I came to tell you that your basket is neatly placed in the side room now. You said you were too scared, so when you saw that scene, you immediately reported to the yamen. Your basket should have fallen at the door, but now it is not. Don't tell me that your wife is dead, and you still have the intention to clean up the house honestly," the man sneered.

Li Laoliu trembled all over and said, "This may be the help of the left leader and the right servant."

Hearing this, the man nodded and said, "I knew you would say this, and it is indeed possible. If this is the case, you will be guilty of you, which is indeed inappropriate."

"Then" the man suddenly walked beside the small wooden stool that was used as a foot under the corpse. After suddenly straightening it, many people were shocked. They saw that the stool was still quite far from Liu's legs, which means that Liu could not use this small wooden stool to hang it.

Seeing this scene, Yuan Xi looked at the man's confidence, and suddenly smiled at the corner of his mouth. After giving a few instructions to Hu Niu'er beside him, he took the person directly away.

At this time, the man also looked up at Yuan Xi's back, and his heart trembled.

"Sir, the young man is just confused for a moment. Please spare your life!" Seeing this scene, Li Laoliu suddenly trembled all over and cried and begged for mercy.

Hearing this, the people were immediately furious.

"You are so human-faced and beastly! Although your wife is seriously ill, she is not tired of her family. You actually killed it, so how can you bear it?"

“We were so scared”

After the man was awakened by the people, he looked at Li Laoliu who was kneeling on the ground and cried bitterly, frowned and said, "Take it back to the yamen, put it in prison, and wait for the death to leave."

"promise!"

At this time, a yamen runner suddenly knelt in front of the man and said in admiration: "Brother Xu, you are really a god to decide the case! Since you came, there have been no unjust cases in Pingyuan County."

The man was stunned and smiled bitterly. After helping the yamen runner up, he shook his head in shame, picked up the wine pot and took a heavy sip. Then, under the admiring eyes of the people, he slowly left.

When the man came outside, Hu Niuer suddenly brought a few people in front of him and smiled: "Old Xu, I didn't expect you to hide here. Do you still remember someone?"
