C14 Case

"I asked you all to bring someone back to the residence. Where is he?!"

Just as the family servant were hesitating whether they should take action or not, they heard a hoarse voice that sounded like it came from crying.

When Su Mu looked over from afar, he discovered a middle-aged man with large ears and a head full of useless heads was heading towards them. This man was the Minister Wu that the old woman mentioned, Wu Zuoyu.

Behind him was County Magistrate Ge dressed in official uniform. The county magistrate was originally filled with rage as he stared at Su Moyu and the others. But when his gaze made contact with Lin Yi, both of his legs went weak and he suddenly knelt down.

"Hall..." "The palace …" County Magistrate Ge said with his eyes wide open in shock.

It turned out that Wu City New Knowledge County was closer to the capital. When the Crown Prince Lin Yi ascended the throne, he was lucky enough to go to the capital to participate in the inauguration ceremony. From then on, he remembered this prince with extraordinary bearing and did not expect that he would come to the Wu City and stay there forever.

But before waiting for the title of County Magistrate Ge to come out, Lin Yi said lightly: "This young master is indeed the only son of the Minister of Rites, it is good that you know him, this matter is not suitable for others to know."

Su Mu, who was pointed at by him, looked at Lin Yi confusedly. She did not know why he created such a fake identity for her.

Lin Yi understood, and whispered in her ear: "Your position is too high, which is beneficial for you to take out the evidence."

In reality, he felt that Su Mu's body was too weak and his age was too young. If he had an identity, no one would dare to touch him and it would be easier to convince them.

When Su Mu heard this, he nodded his head and did not deny it.

The County Magistrate Ge kneeling on the ground kowtowed once more towards Su Mu, then slowly stood up with a smile.

He humbly asked Lin Yi and the rest of the group: "I wonder why esteemed guests have come to this place? Can this official help? "

"I can't say it's a noble deed. It's just that when I met this great official on the way and tried to lynch him, I saw injustice when I arrested him." Su Mu said.

Upon hearing that, Official Wu immediately shouted like a rooster, "Who dares to abuse the lynching method! "Where did all of you come from? How dare you talk to me like that?"

"Shut your mouth. This is a noble from the capital. How dare you speak so arrogantly!" County Magistrate Ge anxiously pulled Wu Gu down and knelt on the ground.

It seemed that this County Magistrate Ge was truly on good terms with Sir He Wu. He did not forget to pull the two brothers along even at this time to prevent them from offending their benefactor.

When Minister Wu heard that it was from the capital, he instantly cried. "Men of the Azure Sky, please redress my grievances! My son died such a miserable death! "

When Su Mu heard this, he looked at Wang He beside him. The doubt in his heart gradually increased, it seemed that this Minister Wu was truly wronged, if not, why would a man who was usually domineering be in such pain? Judging by his white clothes, he must have been in the state where someone from his family passed away.

"Young master, you're tired. Let's go back to your residence first." Lin Yi said again.

The others did not have any reaction when they heard this, but Bao Fusheng secretly asked: "You are not going to the yamen anymore?"

"He is wearing white. Maybe the child has just passed away. Maybe he is staying in his house for you to investigate." Lin Yi explained in an indifferent manner.

Wu Family.

The entire house was immersed in grief. Before they even entered the mansion, they could already hear the wails of the women.

"Honored guest, because the deceased was the sole son of Official Wu, the family is very sad, I hope that you can forgive me." The County Magistrate Ge bowed as he explained.

Su Mu couldn't help but be affected by the atmosphere, "Of course. But I wonder if I can ask why Young Master Wu isn't here? "

"On the night before yesterday, young master Wu was kidnapped by bandits. His family searched bitterly for an entire night but was unable to find anything. They even found a corpse covered with wounds on the city gate that was suspended above the city gate on the second day. The entire Huai Liu County can testify." County Magistrate Ge explained in detail.

Just as Su Mu was thinking about what the County Magistrate Ge had said, the old woman's heart-wrenching curses rang out, "Get out of here. You're not worthy enough to come to my Lei Er's Spirit, you're not worthy!"

"Mother, Lei'er is my only son. Without me, his heart hurts more than anyone else! Why am I not fit to come to his mourning hall? " Minister Wu knelt in front of the old lady with tears in her eyes.

The old lady's body swayed, supporting the servant girl beside her, she panted: "If Lei'er didn't have a evil father like you, how could he have left at such a young age? "It's all because of you. My poor Lei'er will only go if I give you your lifespan!"

"Blame me, blame me! Mother, don't be angry!" Minister Wu fiercely slapped his face, trying to vent his anger on the old lady.

However, the woman was still too old to catch her breath and fainted. Luckily, the doctor had been waiting by her side and rescued her in time.

It was not until nightfall that the entire Wu Residence fell silent, except for the faint sounds of weeping.

Minister Wu is truly powerless, if you want to know anything, I can explain it to you guys right? "Su Yun said in a low voice. County Magistrate Ge stood in the Wu Family Hall and looked at Su Mu and the others with an apologetic smile.

Since even Lin Yi, who found it hard to speak, had nodded, the others naturally did not object.

So it turns out that County Magistrate Ge and Minister Wu were neighbors since a young age, and not as wealthy as the Wu official's family. County Magistrate Ge relied on the aid of the old granny from Official Wu's family to complete the academy's entrance exam and return to Huai Liu County to serve as the county magistrate. Thus, he had been filled with gratitude towards the Wu Family.

Minister Wu was the eldest son of the Old Granny. The old lady even found the fortune-teller to come to her house to get it over with, then pointed at the young man's Minister Wu, saying that he was destined to be a lonely star and was born to be a nemesis of his family, which was why he killed his little sister.

At the beginning, his family could not believe it. Until the death of Master Wu, they had all come to believe that his wife died in childbirth when she was giving birth to her child, and now, his own son had passed away.

As for the dead Wu Family Young Master Wu Lei, it was probably because he had lost his mother at a young age, born with a frail body, and was raised by an old lady all year round.

He was originally at the age when he was quietly studying at the academy, but a few days ago, he had mysteriously been hanged on the city wall and died.

"Did that Young Master Wu have any conflicts with anyone?" Bao Fusheng asked after listening to her explanation.

County Magistrate Ge shook his head. "Young Master Wu has always been weak, even going to the private school to take leave every day. He asked to rest at home to look after the sick.

"What about the Minister Wu?" Su Mu continued to ask.

When asked about Wu Ji, County Magistrate Ge lowered his head slowly, "To be honest, Minister Wu and I have known each other since childhood. His personality is indeed irritable and irritable, easily offending others. Furthermore, his clan's ancestors had passed down good lands for a while, and they often brought the sturdy family servant down to collect rent.

"Then do you rely on Lord Ge's protection all the time?"
