Seeing Lao Xiancheng take the order to leave, Mo Xiaobai softened his expression and said with a wry smile: "Everyone, what we encountered this time is really a bit tricky. ”

Guo Jia glanced at the direction where the gray-bearded old man left, and then said with a smile: "The lord deliberately transferred the county prince, but there is something else to tell us?" ”

"There's something to say, and it's up to you to deal with it."

Filtering the copy information in his mind again, Mo Xiaobai said: "We know almost nothing about this Ziwu County now, but now that the previous county commander is dead, we have to handle everything in Ziwu County." Among them, the most important thing is household registration and various taxes, there must be a big loophole here, and when the officials of other counties arrive, Guoyuan, you will go and check this matter for me. ”

"In addition, you also heard just now that the county lieutenant of Ziwu led his troops out of the city to inspect the bandits. It doesn't sound like a problem at all, but I still can't trust them, so I'm going to set up another county lieutenant later, and you'll be Maogong. I brought food and gold coins here, and you will recruit new recruits again, not to ask them to be able to fight, at least to look like a soldier. ”

"We only have five days, not only to find out the tax revenue that was robbed by bandits outside the city, but also to find out the cause of death of the county order and find out the murderer.

Case-solved!

Since the copy involved the death of the previous county magistrate, Mo Xiaobai felt that after completing the task, he would definitely not be able to avoid the case.

However, an embarrassing scene appeared, Dameng Village, which is full of civil and military personnel and talents, is really not famous for arresting murderers and solving cases.

Guo Jia, Li Ji and the others each glanced at each other, and they all bowed their heads silently and did not speak.

They have the ability to govern a place, and they also know what the process of judging a case is, but if they are really responsible for finding out the truth about the cause of death, even Guo Jia can only rely on the information provided by the puppet or witnesses, and he Guo Jia does not have more in-depth investigation methods or case-solving skills.

Guo Jia can't, Guoyuan can't, Li Ji and Li Guang can't.

As for Dong Zhen, since he sat down, he has been squinting his eyes, looking like 'you talk about you, this girl is only responsible for raising the team's appearance'.

A few people sat down and waited for a while, and the county leader walked in with a lot of people. There are Gong Cao, who is responsible for the performance appraisal of the officials, two officials who manage the archives and documents, and the warden of the county prison, the stableman who is in charge of the chariot and horse administration, and the three warehouse officials who are in charge of the county treasury.

When this group of county officials arrived, Mo Xiaobai swept over a few people with a low cough: "Now except for the county lieutenant who has not returned from the city, the rest of the people who should know have been seen now." The former prefectural commander was accidentally killed, what do you all think, you might as well talk about it. ”

Mo Xiaobai is a copy that entered with a black eye, even if he doesn't trust these dungeon NPCs at all, he still has to get first-hand information from them.

It's just that after Mo Xiaobai asked, none of the nearly ten county officials in front of him said a word.

After waiting for five or six breaths and no one responded, Mo Xiaobai's eyes sank: "Old County Cheng, let's talk about it first." ”

"Lord Hui, the death of Zhou County's order is strange and abnormal."

"How?"

"Zhou Xianling died in a restaurant in the west of the city in the middle of the night, and was not found until after dawn. We have also searched carefully, but we have not found any witnesses, nor have we found the murder weapon, and we have not even heard the screams when we died. ”

The old man crackled and said a lot, and Mo Xiaobai said a few words after listening to the summary.

There are no human witnesses, no physical evidence, and useful confessions are even more delusional.

All right!

I was also unlucky enough to encounter such a troublesome quest.

"So, Lao Xiancheng thinks that this case can't be investigated in detail?"

"It's not old and prevaricated, but in fact, there is nothing to investigate."

"Well, since the county is old and weak, and he is no longer able to investigate the case, from today onwards, I will go home and wait for the county keeper to listen to another use, Zini, you will take over the post of county leader, first find out for me, how many murderers are in this Ziwu County."

Mo Xiaobai never expected these dungeon NPCs to do anything for him, and immediately pushed the boat to remove the county Cheng. Although according to the law, the removal of the county requires a decree from the imperial court, but at this moment, Mo Xiaobai is the biggest official in the copy space, and he can use the power in his hands at will for at least five days.

If you don't put your own people in important positions, it is estimated that this broken task will not be completed in a year.

Arbitrarily and alone, Mo Xiaobai immediately looked at the prison Peng: "You are in charge of the murder of a county, which murderers in the county you know best, are you willing to assist Zini in handling this matter?" ”

"Humble command!"

Seeing that Mo Xiaobai said that he would dismiss the county Cheng, how could he oppose it, and immediately came out and hugged his fists and agreed. He thought very clearly, anyway, he was just helping, and it had nothing to do with him if he didn't find out.

Seeing that the prison was 'well-behaved', Mo Xiaobai nodded and continued: "In an ordinary county town, it is enough to have a county lieutenant, but I see that the chaos in Ziwu County is quite deep, and I am afraid that one county lieutenant is not enough. ”

"Whoa!"

"You guys go to work, prepare another horse for me, and take me to the restaurant." After Mo Xiaobai finished speaking, he got up and walked down the main seat, handed over his Sumeru bag to Li Ji, and walked out of the lobby directly with his sleeves.

Taking Guo Jia, Li Guang and the stable to a restaurant called 'Chunli' on horseback, Mo Xiaobai walked in and found that what kind of restaurant this place was, it was clearly a green building.

A county magistrate also visits this?

It's too blatant!

At this time, the Qinglou had been temporarily closed, and when Mo Xiaobai arrived, all the young ladies lined up, all looking at the new county magistrate with nervous expressions.

"You don't have to be nervous, I'm just here today to ask about something, if you can find out the reason smoothly, your restaurant, hehe, can also reopen."

Mo Xiaobai sat on a stool and said, "Who first discovered Zhou Yi's body?" Stand up and let me meet. ”

"Yes, it's a slave."

A woman with light makeup, who looked to be only twenty-eight years old, stepped forward and said in a low voice: "That night, the county magistrate did not let the slave serve, and the slave came out when he was in the child, and returned to the room early the next morning, but, but"

"But what? Seeing Zhou Yi die in the house? ”

"Yes, sir."

"Do you remember what you saw? For example, where did he fall, and what wounds did he have? ”

"Remember, slave remembers, at that time, Zhou Xianling fell on the side of the table in the house, blood flowed all over the ground, and many small holes were pierced in his head, even on his body."

Listening to this young lady's confession, Mo Xiaobai touched his chin: "What hole?" How small a hole? ”

"Like, as thin as a wooden chopstick."

"Oh?"

Mo Xiaobai raised his eyebrows when he heard this, and got up from his seat: "You are bold enough, take me to see that room." ”
