Chapter 80 Triggering the Hidden Check-in Point
While waiting for Hui Chengyuan and others to arrive, Yuan Man first investigated the crimes committed by the county magistrate.
But three-tenths of what she found out matched what Tong Liyang said, and the rest was a little exaggerated.
After investigation, when there was no useful information, Yuan Man followed Tong Liyang to the village where the victims were.
The first place we went to was Quanhe Village.
As they approached the village, Yuanman noticed something strange.
Tong Liyang had said before that this village had been eating wild vegetables and leaves for a year, but in her opinion, the people in this village lived a good life. From what she saw, all of them were extremely strong.
Although they are not very skilled in martial arts, they are all very strong and powerful.
Although this doesn't mean anything, it is also very unusual.
It can be seen that Tong Liyang’s words cannot be trusted.
What he said to the rouge shop proprietress that night was very cryptic. She didn't understand the meaning, so she just followed Tong Liyang's words.
Tong Liyang saw the group of people and immediately stepped forward and said with a smile: "Village head, there is an adult who wants to learn about the county magistrate's increase in taxes."
As he said this, he winked at the village chief. He thought Yuan Man had his back to him and no one could see him, but Yuan Yi, who was hiding in the dark, saw him clearly.
Upon seeing this, the village chief immediately bowed to Yuan Man and said, "On behalf of all the people in the village, I would like to thank you for your compassion."
"Sir, please come in."
Yuan Man nodded and followed them into the village.
[Ding, the host has triggered a hidden sign-in point. Would you like to sign in? ]
"Sign in." Another hidden sign-in point.
[Ding, congratulations to the host for signing in successfully. The sign-in reward is a copy of the evidence of the collusion between Song Zhiwei, the prefect of Lingchuan City, and Luo Zikun, the county magistrate of Wangdong City, 400 acres of grassland in front of the manor in Lianyun Mountain, and 400 kilograms of dried chili peppers. The relevant items have been placed in the backpack, please check them carefully.]
Yuanman smiled when he heard this. This system is really great. I love you.
Not having to buy land was a good thing, but what made her even happier was the 400 kilograms of peppers.
【You’re welcome(??w??)……】
Yuanman smiled and began to look around Quanhe Village.
The village chief led them to a wooden house and made a gesture of invitation, "Sir, please come in."
Yuan Man gave a wink to Yuan Yi in the dark, and followed him in.
Looking at everything in the house, Yuanman raised his brows. The wooden house outside was old and weathered, but inside the house, everything was exquisite.
"The village chief is someone who knows how to enjoy himself."
As soon as she said this, the expressions of the village chief and Tong Liyang changed slightly.
They originally thought that the other party was just a young man who grew up in Kyoto and could not see the difference in this room.
After all, they had lived a refined life since childhood, but they didn't expect that the other party could see through it at a glance.
The two looked at each other, murderous intent in their eyes.
Then they thought about how they might need to make use of what he had done, and gave up the idea of silencing him.
The village chief smiled and stepped forward and said, "I don't know how to enjoy it. These are the things my father left behind."
"Sir, please take a seat."
Yuan Man sat down at the main seat without any hesitation, "Village head, Tong Liyang said that the county magistrate increased your taxes by 40%. Do you have any evidence?"
Although she had evidence against the county magistrate and the prefect, she really wanted to know who these people in front of her were.
Judging from the lists provided by Tong Liyang, they wanted to target the imperial court, and Luo Zikun should be just one of them.
Kyoto has just cleared out Prince Duan, and now trouble has arisen again.
The village chief shook his head and said, "What evidence is there? The county magistrate took the grain away directly and left nothing behind. There is nothing else except the witnesses from our village."
"Besides increasing taxes, what other evil deeds did the county magistrate commit?" Yuan Man continued to ask.
The village chief thought for a moment and said, "He not only robbed women, but also did not let go of good-looking boys."
Yuan Man looked at Tong Liyang, "You didn't say these."
Tong Liyang immediately said: "The county magistrate and the legal advisor are birds of a feather. Half of what the legal advisor does is for the county magistrate."
Yuan Man glanced at him, then looked at the village chief and asked, "Anything else?"
She looked at the evidence of the county magistrate, and there was no charge of raping a woman. She just didn't know what their purpose was in accusing the county magistrate of this crime.
Also, Luo Zikun did not increase the tax revenue of Quanhe Village by 40%, this was also fabricated by them.
Some of the evidence provided by the system matched her recent investigation, but there was a lot that she had not investigated.
It seems that she is not suitable for this kind of thing and needs someone who understands it.
For example, Hui Chengyuan.
The village chief was silent for a moment and shook his head. “That’s all I know.”
Yuan Man nodded and picked up a piece of cake on the table and looked at it. "Is the village chief a native of this village, or did he move here later?"
The village chief's heart tightened and he subconsciously clenched his hands on his knees.
"Of course I was born and raised in Quanhe Village, otherwise I wouldn't be the village chief here."
Yuan Man smiled, put the cake back, stood up and said, "I'll go out and take a look."
The village chief glanced at Tong Xinyang and said with a smile, "Sir, it's getting late. Why don't you go out and take a look after dinner?"
"It's okay. It will take some time to prepare lunch. You guys prepare yours. I'll go out for a walk. It won't be a problem." Yuanman said and walked out.
The village chief winked at Tong Liyang, then followed Yuan Man out.
Yuanman walked slowly in the village. When he met people, he didn't go up to ask questions. He just wandered around.
But she also noticed the difference in this village. All the villagers had practiced martial arts before, and there were not many children and few elderly people.
Walking from one end of the village to the other, I only saw two ladies in their fifties.
Turning to the end of the village, Yuanman looked up at the mountain in front of him and recalled the location of Lianyun Mountain.
The more I look at it, the more familiar it seems.
So she asked, "Is that Lianyun Mountain?"
The village chief looked at her with murderous intent in his eyes, but when Yuan Man turned around, he immediately hid it and said with a smile, "Yes."
"Does your Excellency also know about Lianyun Mountain?"
Yuan Man raised his eyebrows and asked, "What's the matter?"
The mountain in front of her is Lianyun Mountain, which means that this village is the village she saw on Lianyun Mountain before.
"It is rumored that Lianyun Mountain is haunted. Fortunately, there is a cliff near our village, so we don't have to worry about someone breaking in and causing trouble." The village chief said as he looked at her, as if he wanted to see something from her face.
Yuan Man nodded and looked away, "Yes, I have heard of it. I heard of it in Lingchuan City, but I didn't expect the mountain to be here."
"Village chief, do you think there are really ghosts in this world?"
The village chief paused for a moment before saying, "There should be. It is said that people have souls and will be reincarnated after death. If there are souls, there will naturally be ghosts."
After hearing his conclusion, Yuanman almost gave him a thumbs up.
"That makes sense." After saying that, he turned around and walked back.
This village is even more suspicious.
