Some people asked Dongming Ziyu to catch the murderer of the former county magistrate first, telling him to save his own life first.

The county magistrate stepped forward hesitantly and said in very unfamiliar Mandarin: "Sir, I have surprised you. It must be very hard to go over the mountains and ridges all the way. Let's go back to the Yamen first and settle down before talking."

The chief clerk also stepped forward and expressed his position: "I am sorry that I have missed my welcome. Please forgive me."

The officials behind him also saluted, with different expressions and their own thoughts.

After Dongming Ziyu dismounted and had a nap with everyone, he took his entourage to the county government office.

Standing at the door of the county government office, the outspoken old lady Qian couldn't help but said loudly: "Oh, hey! This county government office is too shabby!"

The wooden doors were broken, with mottled paint, large cracks, knife marks on them, and were crooked.

The second-in-command, the county magistrate, laughed and said: "Originally, this county government office was fine. But when the previous county magistrate was in office, the Nanman people came into the city disguised as bandits, attacked the county government office, and smashed the doors. At least they repaired it and used it.

.”

Dongming Ziyu smiled lightly and said: "The right way is to be an official instead of a yamen, I understand."

The county magistrate hurriedly said: "The county magistrate is wise! Wise!"

Dongming Ziyu asked people to put all the bandits in prison, and took his family to Houya for resettlement. Houya was where the county magistrate lived, and the houses were neat. However, the yard and the house were neither cleaned nor tidied up, and the ground was all over the place.

Fallen leaves are piled up in the rain. There are spider webs on the trees and eaves...

This dilapidated and desolate scene must be sentimental, and it will definitely be able to improvise a few little sour poems.

The dilapidation of the front office can be explained by the failure of officials to repair the office. The back house is now desolate. This is a sign of power to the new county magistrate!

Mrs. Qian said sharply: "How does this look like a ghost house!"

The county magistrate said respectfully: "Old lady, what you said is very close. The former county magistrate was killed here. Because the murderer has not been caught yet, in order to protect the scene, we did not dare to move. After all, the county magistrate is here.

, No matter what standpoint you come from, you must first solve the murder case of the former county magistrate."

Mrs. Qian showed a somewhat frightened expression. Who wouldn't be afraid of a haunted house where a murder occurred?

Old Man Dong's face was also gloomy. His son had just taken office and encountered a murder case and a haunted house. It was really unlucky!

Shangguan Ruoli sneered in his heart. It was impossible to seal the entire courtyard at the scene of the murder. Obviously these people did not take the new county magistrate seriously.

Dongming Ziyu asked: "Where did Magistrate Wu die?"

The county magistrate pointed to a room and said: "In the bedroom of the main courtyard."

Dongming Ziyu said to Shangguan Ruoli and others: "Go and clear out other courtyards first."

Shangguan Ruoli nodded and left with everyone.

Dongming Ziyu asked the county magistrate: "Is there no clue about the murderer of Magistrate Wu?"

The county magistrate said respectfully: "One thing is that a yamen servant who was on duty at the county government disappeared. He was not supposed to be on duty that day, but he took the initiative to ask for a shift. I didn't see him after the accident. I suspected that he killed Wu County.

Ling escaped and has not been caught yet."

Dongming Ziyu nodded slightly, "Please prepare the case file on the murder of Magistrate Wu and submit it to me tomorrow."

The county magistrate said: "Yes!"

Dongming Ziyu said: "Please step back."

"Your Majesty, please retire!" The county magistrate saluted and walked out of the main courtyard.

Seeing that there was no one around, he spat and cursed in a low voice: "A humble guy from a poor family has been demoted here, and he is still showing off! You don't know how to live or die! You will offend the Zhao family to death when you come here, see what you can do

How long do you live?"

"Lord County Magistrate, what are you talking about?" A childish voice came from diagonally above.
