The county magistrate stood up and walked out. The county magistrate's wife also stood up. She subconsciously followed her two steps before she came back to her senses and stopped again.

"What's going on?"

The housekeeper accompanied the county magistrate to answer, "The specific situation is small and I don't know. Just now, a yamen runner came to report that the third prince had tortured Manager Wei."

The county magistrate's head was buzzing. When the guards were passing him a message today, he knew that there was no good thing for the third prince to leave Manager Wei. But he thought at most it was just a cross-examination, but he thought that the third prince would be punished.

"Master, what should I do?"

The housekeeper has been following him since a long time ago, and he was so anxious when he heard the report from the yamen runners. If Manager Wei really made any mistakes, the master's career will be over.

The county magistrate didn't know what to do, so he just subconsciously walked to the prison cell. In any case, he must stop the third prince.

Before they could reach the cell, the two of them heard screams.

The county magistrate felt nervous, and he ran away regardless of his image. He ran to the door of the torture room in one breath, and opened the door, "Three Prince, keep your subordinates..."

Before he finished speaking, he was so shocked that he gasped in shock when he saw the miserable situation of Manager Wei.

Manager Wei was beaten and his flesh was blooming. Blood flowed out of his wounds, and even the ones under his feet were dyed red.

The county magistrate quickly walked over and stood in front of Manager Wei, "The third prince, can't fight anymore!"

"Get out!"

The county magistrate knelt down, "Third Prince thinks twice. Although the Gu family is not afraid, we can't afford to offend the old man. If he goes back to the imperial court to sue you, your Qingping County will be in vain!"

"How come it's in vain?"

The third prince's eyes were filled with hostility. He was about to beat Wei Ning today and gave up Gu Yi's true identity.

"I have investigated. Before the old man gave lectures, he had sent the old man several times. The poison was what he had given at that time."

The county magistrate was stunned and subconsciously looked back at Manager Wei.

Manager Wei shook his head with difficulty, "No, it's not me!"

"I said yes, and then torture me until he called me."

"No!"

The county magistrate has made his promise. He has to protect Manager Wei no matter what. "This is just one-sided statement and there is no evidence."

"A bastard, I said he gave him the same, what evidence is needed?"

"Of course you need evidence, otherwise you are abuse of lynching!"

The third prince's aura was filled with smoke from seven orifices, and waved to the guards, "Pull him down!"

The guard easily lifted him up, threw him out of the door, and closed the door with a clang.

Several yamen runners outside the door were startled and were about to go forward to help him. The county magistrate got up and slapped the door hard, "Third Prince, think twice, think twice!"

Responding to him was the screams of Manager Wei.

The county magistrate took the photo harder.

The third prince turned a deaf ear.

The county magistrate turned around and ran out, and ran to the yard of Duke Qi. He knelt down and shouted anxiously, "Duke, go and persuade the third prince. If the shopkeeper Wei is really beaten to death, it will be hard for us to explain."

Duke of Qi was drinking tea leisurely in the house. He heard this and paused for a moment, ignored him and continued to drink tea.

Today, the woman named Xiuzhen hit Gu Qian. She originally wanted her to take the opportunity to pull Gu Qian's beard to see if it was fake, but Gu Qian exposed herself. Now they only need to get Wei Xing's confession, so they can go and get people openly.

"Grandpa, please go and persuade the third prince..."

The county magistrate said louder.

The Duke of Qi was impatient when he heard this, so he slowly put down the teacup, got up and walked out. As soon as he reached the door, a burst of rapid footsteps ran into the yard.

The yamen runner pale, "Sir, it's not good, Manager Wei is dead!"

The county magistrate buzzed in his head, and he wanted to get up, but he felt his hands and feet weak.

The Duke of Qi was also stunned and then strode out, "What did you say?"

"Wei, the shopkeeper Wei was beaten to death!"

"How is it possible!"

Duke of Qi walked quickly to the cell.

The county magistrate wanted to follow, but after climbing for a few times, he didn't get up. The yamen runner helped him up in front of the mountain, followed the Duke of Qi and came to the torture room.

Manager Wei was lying on the ground, and the blood stained the ground red.

The third prince was furious, "Baby, I asked you to force confession, not to let you beat people to death!"

The two guards knelt in front of him, lowered their heads, and did not dare to show up.

"Go and call the imperial doctor here!"

The Duke of Qi ordered.

The yamen runner let go of the county magistrate, turned around and ran to call the imperial doctor.

The two imperial doctors were already asleep and were shouted in a hurry. They didn't even tie the buttons, so they came with the medicine box on their backs. Seeing Manager Wei's miserable situation, they gasped.

"Why are you still standing there? Save people!"

The third prince's anger can lift the roof.

The two imperial doctors quickly squatted down, one went to explore the nasal breath and carotid artery, and the other took the pulse. The moment when his fingers touched Manager Wei, they looked at each other.

"How about it?"

Duke of Qi asked anxiously.

Judging from the third prince's appearance, you will know that Manager Wei has not admitted it. If the person is really dead, they really cannot explain it to the old man.

The two of them let go of their hands at the same time, retreated a little, and shook their heads at the same time.

The Duke of Qi saw a dark look.

The third prince became even more angry, "How could it be? He just whipped him a few times."

The two imperial doctors dared not speak.

"waste!"

The third prince kicked one of the guards and got into trouble.

The Duke of Qi calmed himself down. Since the man was dead, they had to find a reason to cover up.

"Qingping County..."

The county magistrate was already stupid and had no reaction.

The Duke of Qi frowned and shouted again.

The county magistrate then looked up at the Duke of Qi, with only two words in his mind, "It's over."

This time it's really over.

"Send someone to him..."

I wanted to tell him to throw people to the mass grave, but I was afraid of being discovered, "Send people to throw them to the mountain!"

As long as the beast is fed and the corpse is gone, no one can find it.

"National, Duke..."

The county magistrate was so trembling that he couldn't speak.

"Don't worry, with my Duke and the Third Prince here, I will ensure that you are fine. Just do what I told you."

The county magistrate's lips were shaking violently.

Seeing this, the Duke of Qi cursed inwardly, and looked at the guard kneeling in front of the third prince, "You two, throw the person on the mountain!"

The two guards quickly got up and walked over, lifted Manager Wei and walked out.

"Wait, take something to cover it!"

One of the guards found a sack and put Manager Wei in it, and the two carried it out.

"Qingping County!"

The Duke of Qi spoke sternly, his eyes swept across the yamen runners and the county magistrate, "When you leave this door, you will forget everything you saw just now! You will go out to spread the news early tomorrow morning and say that he ran away from prison!"
