The First Volume of Qinghe County

  Ximen Qing looked at the "masterpiece" he had inadvertently drawn and only then realized that the small circle in the middle representing Yuan Ge connected almost all the people involved, or about to be involved, in this accident.

  If Guan Ge hadn't agreed with Wu Dalang's absurd plan, Wu Dalang wouldn't have died either.

  I don't know when Wu Song will come back, but he will definitely ask Yu'erge about the situation. When faced with the inquiry of the tiger-beating hero, Yu'erge will definitely tell him about his own and Pan Jinlian's affair.

  The question is: Where did Brother Yuan run off to now?

  This fifteen-year-old boy is the key figure at present.

  Must find Wu Song's brother before he comes back and take control of him!

  "What do you think, He Jiu?" Zhu Zhi County frowned at the already somewhat smelly corpse of Wu Dalang. It had been a long time since Qinghe County had a homicide case, and this was not good for his own evaluation.

  "Sir, this is Wu Da, the pancake seller!" He Jiu replied loudly.

  "Nonsense! Although this county has never eaten a pancake, it still recognizes Wu Dalang!" Zhu Zhixian scolded: "I'm asking you, what do you think of this matter?"

  "Sir, I think there's something fishy about this! There must be a huge secret behind it!" He Jiu replied.

  "Are you done yet!" Magistrate Zhu angrily said: "Good fellow He Jiu, let this county show you how Wu Da died. How can you keep spouting nonsense!"

  "Take this guy out and give him twenty lashes first!"

  "Spare my life!" He Jiu suddenly knelt down with a thud: "Sorry, I've been watching the Di Renjie legend recently and got carried away! I'll be serious and examine the body now."

  "This is still okay." Zhu Zhi Xian waved his sleeve: "Why hasn't Xi Men County Magistrate arrived yet? When drinking, there's always someone around, but when something happens, no one is seen."

  "Sir, put this date into your nose to prevent the smell of corpses!" The cow head beside him handed over two red dates, which made Zhu Zhixian very satisfied: "I think Ximen County Wei should avoid this case."

  "Oh? Didn't the county ask you to invite him?" Zhu Knows County stuffed in some red dates, and the stench of the corpse noticeably alleviated: "Niu Dou Tou, what do you mean by this?"

  "Ah, sir, it's not easy to say this..." Niu Da Tou deliberately spoke hesitantly, causing Zhu Zhi Xian to become annoyed again.

  "What's wrong with saying it, you're a cow's head, you've been under this county for many years, speak directly!"

  "Yes, sir!" The cow's head paid me to speak, and I said with a lazy tone: "This county lieutenant... has an affair with Madame Wu Da!"

  "I thought this was a bombshell, something that would blow the lid off everything, but Zhu Zhi County didn't seem too surprised. Instead, he had a calm expression: 'Oh, I've known about this for some time now. But West Gate County Lieutenant hasn't found anything out of the ordinary, and I believe that he won't kill Wu Da just because of a woman.'"

  "You'd better go and invite County Lieutenant Ximen to come, it's also good to ask him in person. Magistrate Zhu continued: "As for whether County Lieutenant Ximen should recuse himself from this case, the county will decide!"

  "Yes sir!" Niu Dutou didn't dare to argue with Zhu Zhixian and left after a slight bow.

  "Your Honor!" The teacher and the cow rubbed shoulders, bowed to Zhu Zhi County and said: "Wu Du Tou entrusted someone to bring back a message, several days ago he had already brought back the Ta Wei's letter from Dongjing! It is estimated that in three to five days he will be back!"

  Zhu Zhi County nodded: "Wu Da died at the wrong time! These two brothers are said to have a good relationship, what a pity!"

  "What? Wu Da is dead?" Master Ye looked at the corpse in the yard with great surprise: "It's really Wu Da!"

  "Go and say." Zhu Zhixian furrowed his brow and walked outside: "He Jiu, come back and report after you've finished checking."

  The teacher also hurriedly followed up.

  "The little man understands." Looking at the corpse with big and small bags all over his head, He Jiu frowned, helpless.

  Qinghe County is such a small place, in three to five years, not even one case can be solved. Hejiu was originally bribed to become the coroner, and had never learned anything from the old coroner. Where did his true talent come from? Apart from being bold, Hejiu wouldn't vomit when seeing a corpse, but in other aspects... it's simply a complete mess!

  So many bruises, were you beaten by someone? Hit with a stick? These fragments, was someone hit with a wine jar?

  He Jiu stood there, dazed and confused for half a day, his mouth dry to the point of death, as if he had a mouthful of sand that he couldn't spit out. Just then, a soft voice from behind reminded him: "The one who rolled down the stairs..."

  He Jiu turned his head and saw that the cow had somehow returned and was quietly watching him from behind.

  "Stairs?" He Jiu wiped the sweat, this cow head usually looked like a serious guy, when did he learn to scare people from behind? Does he know that others are not prepared at all?

  "And it should be that someone pushed him down." Niu Dou continued to blow cool air behind He Jiu's back: "Look at those bandages on his head, and those fragments, he must have hit the wine jar with the last blow."

  Huh? Now that you mention it, it seems like that's really what happened!

  He Jiu quickly glanced around, not even bothering to deduce from which direction the cow's head was pushed, anyway, since there was a result, he could also consider it a closed case.

  "Cow Head is indeed formidable! I'll go and report to the master right away!" He Jiu exclaimed excitedly, thanking him repeatedly as he hastily took his leave.

  He Jiuyi walked away, and the cow's head originally smiled face suddenly pulled down, coldly looking at Wu Dalang's corpse: "Anyway, you're already dead, whether you were pushed down or lost your footing, what's the difference?"

  "Your brother sees you like this, he will definitely go all out to avenge you. At that time I just need..."

  Haha, a burst of sarcastic laughter echoed through the courtyard: "Wu Da, you died too easily!"

  Considering Pan Jinlian is currently in a difficult situation and it's not convenient for her to show up, Ximen Qing simply took some rice porridge and pastries himself and headed towards the small building in the backyard.

  This unusual behavior made the maidservants watch with envy and discuss it in a flurry.

  "Oh my, look at Master, personally carrying breakfast! Where is he going?"

  "Isn't it Snow? Ever since she was taken in as the old master's concubine, although she is still somewhat gentle, look at how the old master has spoiled her!"

  "So you're saying that you little rascal is always thinking of being taken advantage of by the old master? Do you want to strip naked in the study and warm the bed for the old master?"

  "Pshaw, I think you're the one who's a rogue. Who was it that deliberately left their chest open for the book boy to see last time..."

  These rumors ran into Ximen Qing's ears with the wind, making him sweat profusely and hastening his pace.

  These maidservants have no integrity at all!

  Pushing open the door, the curtains inside were still hanging down, it seemed that the two beauties had not gotten up yet.

  That's not right, Xue Er has always gotten up early.

  Ximen Qing quietly placed the plate on the table, lifted the curtain, and only then discovered that Xue'er had been awake for a while, her eyes fixed on him, winking at him. Meanwhile, Pan Jinlian was still asleep, probably exhausted from the previous day's commotion.

  What's going on? Ximen Qing looked at Pan Jinlian who was still asleep, and then touched himself, but there seemed to be nothing wrong.

  At this time, Xue'er smiled and gently lifted the quilt, and Xi Menqing's eyes suddenly lit up... Under the quilt, the two beauties were smooth and shiny, without any clothes.

  Xue Er is still okay, her body has long been Ximen Qing's, and Pan Jinlian this...?

  Ximen Qing suddenly felt a mix of emotions, wondering if he had already corrupted Xue'er. Pan Jinlian's fair and delicate body was dazzling, especially that one pair, which was at least two cup sizes larger than Xue'er's!

  As an extremely normal male, Ximen Qing has made an extremely normal "courtesy call"!

  Looking at her husband's bulging robe, Snow couldn't help but burst out laughing. At this time, Pan Jinlian, who was sleeping, frowned and muttered, "Why is it a bit cold?" She then turned around and hugged Snow, fully exposing her entire back, including her firm buttocks, to Ximen Qing!

  What a beautiful white flower!

  Ximen Qing endured the "pain" and made a gesture to Chuniang, letting her put down the quilt, and he rushed out of the door!

  Damn it, this Xue Er, actually stole brother's first move!

  Is there no shame at all?!

  Suddenly, a beauty! Suddenly, a beauty ah!

  Ximen Qing retreated in unbearable pain, while Snowy watched her master's fleeing back and couldn't help but burst out laughing.

  "What's so funny..." Pan Jinlian rubbed her eyes, obviously woken up by Xue Er's laughter.

  At this time, "bang" sound, that is Ximen Qing "escaped" after the door brought up.

  "Who's here! Xue'er, why didn't you say anything!" Pan Jinlian was so frightened that she quickly shrank into the quilt and wrapped herself tightly: "Quickly get me some clothes!"

  "It's just Master, what's there to be afraid of?" Xue'er sat up and helped Pan Jinlian find her clothes: "Master has brought breakfast."

  "Ah?" Pan Jinlian poked her head out, her cheeks already slightly flushed, and anxiously asked: "Didn't Master see anything?"

  "Hmm, nothing's wrong." Xue Er suppressed her laughter and threw the clothes to Pan Jinlian, and she herself started putting on her clothes.

  Listening to the movements in the house, Ximen Qing shook his head and waited for a while before lightly knocking on the door: "You two, are you up?"

  "Wait, you can't come in yet, I haven't dressed!" Snowy's laughter echoed back.

  Ximen Qing paced back and forth at the gate, what a failure, he was indeed a failure. How did he end up raising such a little demon like Xue'er?

  After a long time, a timid response came from inside the house: "Master, you may come in."
