Chapter 1465.

Qing’an County was located in the southwestern region of the Southern Li Kingdom, the population of the county was only in the tens of thousands, but being far away from wars and natural disasters, the people’s lives were considered to be quite peaceful over the years.

However, the tragic case that happened in Wangchun Building instantly broke the tranquility of this county and triggered a shocking wave.

When Sun Huai’an, the constable of Qing’an County, rushed to the place of the crime with a few constables, the scene in the elegant room made this experienced veteran geezer’s jaw drop.

Fortunately, he had seen a lot of things and even though his mind had been strongly shocked, he did not lose his head.

On the one hand, the constable sent people to the government office to report the news, on the other hand, he blocked off the Wangchun building, no longer allowing anyone to enter or leave.

However, the news could not be blocked because before Sun Huai’an rushed over, many people had already seen the crime scene.

Cao Jinan’s identity could not be hidden at all.

So the news quickly spread throughout the city as if it had grown wings, and when Cangshui Gang leader Cao Xiong rushed to Wangchun Building with his men, Qing’an County Magistrate Yu Heqian and County Minister Ye Xiangming were already here.

Despite the incomparable anger and grief in his heart, the always unruly Cao Xiong didn’t dare to act out in the face of the two giants of Qing’an County, and saluted with tears in his bears’ eyes, saying, “My little son has suffered from this misfortune, and I still ask the two adults to do justice.”

The Cangshui Gang master had already seen Cao Jinan who fell to the ground and died without resting in peace, the latter’s eyes widened angrily with a twisted face, making Cao Xiong unable to help but clench his fists.

Cao Jinan was not Cao Xiong’s only son, but he was the most favored and had high hopes.

As a result, he died here.

Qing’an magistrate Yu Heqian’s face was as heavy as water as he nodded his head and replied, “Master Cao, please feel sorry for his loss, this official has already ordered the county magistrate’s constables to track down the clues, and make sure to catch the murderer in the shortest possible time to return justice to your son!”

Yu Heqian had been the magistrate of Qing An County for seven years, and his ability to remain in the position of county magistrate was inseparable from Cao Xiong’s support, so this promise was not just empty words.

Cao Xiong tears: “Thank you, Your Honor.”

At this time in the scene of the investigation of the coroner has completed a preliminary examination, reported: “adults, according to the testimony of eyewitnesses and small people’s examination, the thirteen victims of this body surface without any external injuries, and directly killed death.”

“Although all of them were bleeding from the seven orifices and foaming at the mouth, the test did not reveal the presence of poison, and it is suspected that they were killed by extremely skillful martial arts techniques, or ……”

He hesitated, wanting to speak.

Yu Heqian frowned and drank: “Speak!”

The coroner was startled, “Or perhaps it could be immortal techniques.”

The last four words he said carefully, unconsciously lowered his voice.

Immortal means!

County magistrate Yu Heqian, county minister Ye Xiangming, and Cao Xiong all changed their faces.

The Shanhai Realm was divided into the Immortal Cultivation Realm and the Mundane Realm, and for the billions and billions of mortals in the Mundane Realm, the existence of Immortal Cultivators was no secret at all, and there were countless Immortal Cultivators who sought Immortality.

And as the middle and upper classes of mortals, they had a better understanding of the Immortal Cultivation Realm and cultivators.

Therefore, they knew very well what it meant to have an Immortal Cultivator appearing in the mundane world.

But Qing’an County is a “poor and remote” place, how could a cultivator come here to kill people?

Yu Heqian and Ye Xiangming looked at each other, the former pondered for a moment, and said in a deep voice: “You continue to check, be sure to determine the cause of death, no mistakes.”

This county magistrate was somewhat regretting what he had just said to Cao Xiong.

If the culprit was really an Immortal Cultivator, then don’t expect justice to be done, he, the county magistrate, was nothing in front of a cultivator, and also belonged to the role that could be crushed to death with his hands.

“Yes.”

The coroner also knew that the matter was important, bowed his head and said, “Then the body must be sent back to the government office, and cannot be put into the ground for the time being.”

Yu Heqian understood what the coroner meant, and his eyes looked towards Cao Xiong.

After all, the dead one is the other party’s own son.

Cao Xiong’s face was ashen: “But let your honor decide!”

His full of anger, at this moment has subsided most of the time, reason completely overrides the emotion.

The murderer had mastered such a bizarre killing method, so no matter if it was a martial arts expert or an immortal cultivator, it was not something that Cao Xiong could deal with as a county gang leader.

In case if he annoyed the other party by tracking them down, and then targeted Cao Xiong himself.

Can he withstand it?

Cao Xiong did not have the slightest certainty, and even had a trace of fear.

However, the problem was that if he gave up the pursuit, not to mention being unwilling, where would his face as the Cangshui Gang’s leader go?

Cao Xiong’s heart was unusually conflicted, and even showed a few thoughts on his face.

Yu Heqian observed his words and knew the big gang master’s scruples, he couldn’t help but sigh and said, “Then let’s do this first.”

Cao Xiong didn’t dare to mess with him, but he dared to do so with a small county magistrate?

It’s just a matter of that!

And regardless of how the parties involved were entangled in their hearts, after the news spread that Cao Jinan, the son of the Cangshui Gang’s gang leader, along with a dozen or so of his gang members had been killed at the Moonwatch Tower, many of the local people of Qing’an County secretly clapped their hands.

Because Cao Jinan was like a tiger in the county, relying on the power of the Cangshui Gang and the relationship with the government offices, he had always acted recklessly, often oppressing the common people, so that people dared to be angry and dared not speak out.

Now that Cao Jinan died in the Moonwatch Tower, everyone said that it was retribution.

I don’t know which warrior saw the injustice and took action to eradicate one of the three evils of Qing An County, it was simply heavenly justice.

Some people even secretly enshrined the tablet of this nameless warrior!

The after-effects of Cao Jinan’s murder lasted for a month or two in Qing An County.

Then it was gradually forgotten.

During this time, the gang members of the Cangshui Gang clamped their tails down, the clubhouse was heavily guarded, and even the law and order inside the county was much better.

As for the real culprit, has not been found, although the court issued a reward notice to solicit clues.

But the warrior seems to have evaporated, and has never made a move again.

Cao Xiong, who has suffered a great loss after the death of his son, has been living in deep seclusion and no longer mentions anything about Cao Jinan, as if he has acquiesced.

In the blink of an eye, it was New Year’s Day, and Qing’an County, which had been quiet for some time, once again became lively.

People from all over the countryside came to the county to buy New Year’s goods, many merchants came from land and water, and the streets and alleys of the city were full of local accents and yells.

Just before the New Year, Wang Chen, who has been in correspondence with Ye Dai for a few months, formally invited a matchmaker to the door to ask for the marriage of the Ye family’s young lady.

Speaking of two people’s lives have some similarities, Wang dust no relatives, and although Ye Dai has a biological father, but the county minister Ye Xiangming’s sensitive identity is not good to come forward, so the process of the nativity, ask the name of the auspicious and levy has been greatly simplified.

The alliance delivery is very low-key, and after that, we wait for the wedding day to come.

For Wang Chen, this was undoubtedly a new, but necessary life experience.

He was going to be the groom!
