Chapter 191 Death strikes

A few days after Mu Tuo said he was sick and did not go to the county magistrate's office, Liu Shian was finally able to get out of bed and walk, but his body was still injured and could not move. The sword Chongtian also woke up, and when he woke up, he was full of energy, and he didn't care about injuries everywhere on his shoulders. He just shouted that he wanted to eat and drink wildly, but was ruthlessly rejected by Doctor Zhou.

These days, the government's reimbursement of medical expenses has been reduced, which made Liu Shinan feel that he has not lost so much. However, he vaguely feels that there are many things that are slowly growing in the dark. Once it breaks out, many unknowns will be involved.

The knife Chongtian was on the sickbed and looked at Liu Shi and said to him, "Don't worry all day long, it's not that you're missing your arms and legs."

Liu Shi secretly carried the three swords behind him, and read some books from the country that Zhou Xiaodu bought from some unknown places, and was doing recovery force training every day.

Listening to this, he came to mock himself again, he replied: "Are you introducing yourself? Who is worried all day long? Who is shouting that his arm is broken all day long, and he wants to compensate for processing money?"

Dao Chongtian didn't give him a good look: "I almost lost my life for you. Now you told me that you have robbed the creditor of the county magistrate. If I don't ask you for money, would you still ask the county magistrate to ask for it?"

Liu Shi said intimately: "What kind of credit is not merit, don't think about it first, and cure the injury first."

Dao Chongtian muttered again: "It's really a loss-making business, it's better to go home and farm."

"Do you have a home and a field?"

Dao Chongtian was asked suddenly and couldn't say a word, so he simply didn't say anything.

Just as the two were having a quarrel, the county magistrate's sedan chair fell in front of the medicine shop again.

"The county magistrate is here!"

There was a sound outside, and Zhou Xiaodu and Doctor Zhou were boiling medicine in the back. When they heard these sounds, they ran out. They were all confused. Why did this county magistrate run to his shop every few days?

The county magistrate came out of the sedan chair and changed someone else around him, but he had never seen a face before, but Wang San did not follow him.

"Get up."

The county magistrate walked directly into Liu Shian's sickbed. After Liu Shian bowed, the county magistrate waved his hand and said, "Don't worry, sir, I have something to talk to you."

The county magistrate looked at the sword Chongtian, and the sword Chongtian saluted on the sickbed.

Liu Shi said intimately: "Sir, let's talk to our backyard."

"You stay in the store and lead the way." The county magistrate said to the officers and soldiers beside him, and said to Liu Shi again: "Lead the way."

The two talked under the tree in the backyard. They were boiling medicine in the backyard, and there were many medicines to take out to bask in the sun. There was a fragrance of medicine everywhere.

Liu Shi secretly replied: "The county magistrate came so anxious, I don't know what's going on? I have indeed kept the agreement between you and me and never went out of the medicine shop."

The county magistrate's face was gloomy and said, "I came today just to explain to you. Recently, the government has been killed one after another. Wang San, the confidant of this official for many years, was also killed in a total of five people. These were all after I took over Dugu Zheng's incident."

Liu Shinan felt that things had become a bit big when he heard this. It would be impossible if Dugu Zheng had nothing to do with these five people.

Liu Shi secretly replied: "Sir, I can't do anything about this matter. You and I have agreed that I will not interfere in this matter."

The county magistrate knew that Liu Shian was still dissatisfied with his decision a few days ago and said, "Don't worry, Dugu Zheng's document has not been handed over to Dongzhou or to the court, and the case has not yet ended."

Liu Shi said intimately: "Sir, the county magistrate has many talents, why should I come to me, a weak scholar?"

The county magistrate said: "You are afraid you don't know the current situation of the fourth county over the years. No one is willing to come to Dongzhou to work, let alone the county below. Even if the talents in the county are Jinshi Juren who come from the imperial examination, they would rather make a living outside, so how could they come to this county?"

The county magistrate sighed and said, "There are very scarce talents in the county, so I want to stop you from making such contributions and want to escape from this county and see the outside world."

The county magistrate suddenly played the emotional card and told him about his suffering, but Liu Shian knew that this was just a trick used by these officials. He was nothing more than just shed tears and moved his mouth, and then performed well to make enough tears.

Liu Shi secretly replied: "Sir, if you said that day, if I interfere in this case again, you will throw me and Dao Chongtian into prison and be charged with murder. I dare not overthrow it. What can I, a little scholar, help you?"

The county magistrate replied: "Liu Caizi, you are wrong with this. My official is not bad at Qi Yuanxue. She asked people to stand up and resist me. She also stole the seal of this official. I have always been in the past. Now you can't follow your personal favor?"

Liu Shi thought of this bad thing inwardly and felt that he still wanted to help the county magistrate. After all, Qi Yuanxue still had to work as a female worker in this county. If this county magistrate makes things difficult for him, it would be a headache.

At this time, it was already time for the boiling medicine. Zhou Xiaodu ran over, saluted the county magistrate, then moved the medicine jar away, extinguished the flames, and then took several medicine jars to the store.

The roar of Zhang Langzhong came from the shop and said, "Zhou Xiaodu, don't you wait until the medicine is cold before you get it to the shop? You can get these medicines everywhere."

Zhou Xiaodu said: "Master, the county magistrate and Mr. Liu will talk again, so I can't interrupt for too long."

Just as the doctor Zhou extinguished his anger, he said, "Please take the medicine jar outside the door to dissipate the heat."

The sound in the shop gradually decreased, and the two people in the backyard were also silent for a long time. Liu Shi said secretly: "Sir, just say whatever the difficulties are. However, I am not omnipotent in front of me. It is impossible for me to solve everything."

The county magistrate covered his nose, and the smell of medicine was very bad, and said, "It's not difficult. Someone in the government has died these days. I suspect it was Mu Tuo who did it. You can make a prescription for this official and arrest Mu Tuo."

Liu Shi's face darkened and said, "After I kill Dugu Zheng, I will ask you to arrest Mu Tuo. Why are you still outside today?"

The county magistrate said: "You don't know how inefficient those subordinates are. The things I send to do are delayed by two or three days before they can be handled. Mu Tuo should have received the news and claimed to have a sick complaint, but now he can't find anyone. I'm here to find you because those officials and subordinates can't come up with a plan. I either delay or ignore the serious work. I have a headache."

Liu Shi understood why there were many things in the follow-up, and why the county magistrate had not reported the killing of the Northern Wei generals to the court. It turned out that the subordinates were too troublesome. He thought about it and asked: "If you tell me about the deaths of those people, or if there are any relevant documents for my reference."
