"There are countless powerful people in the capital. How can we allow a person without any foundation to bathe in a loving manner? Thanks to the fact that this case was solved. If it is not solved, those who are waiting to see Xu Chong's jokes will not know how to put down the wrong person. Therefore, on the day when he was given the Shangfang Sword, Xu Chong resigned from the late emperor on the grounds of his health, hoping that the late emperor would let him return to his hometown and be a free and carefree person. The late emperor, because he knew Xu Chong's difficulties, was accurate. However, the Shangfang Sword was not taken back because of Xu Chong's resignation, but was still given to him as a reward for Xu Chong's retrial."

"So he will no longer handle the case?" Mu Clever shook his head and said it was a pity, "But he retreated from the difficulties, aren't he a little cowardly?"

"'You can't ask everyone to be Li Youjie', this is a sentence my father said after Xu Chong resigned," said Zhao Zimai, "But Xu Chong did not stop handling cases from now on. I heard that although he had no official position, he often assisted Maocheng County Government in handling cases, and also solved many strange cases, and was a harsh constable by the locals."

"When it comes to solving the case, you are not inferior to you, young master," Sang sneered, "When you were in Sanping Village, you actually found blood in the stove, but I didn't understand why you went to check the stove?"

When it suddenly mentioned Sanping Village, Zhao Zimai looked shaking. He turned his back and the light in his eyes seemed to suddenly go out. "When Gu Yuming was resurrected, I found that Yu was nervous and did not ask who the murderer was. Later, Gu Yuming's soul was swallowed. Not only did she not show any pain, she breathed a sigh of relief. These strange manifestations attracted my attention, and Gu Yuming was burned to death. If it was really what Yu had done and had to do it without knowing it, then the only place where she could commit the crime was the stove in her own yard. So, I went to check the stove in the middle of the night, and found the only remaining blood in it."

"Since you know that Yu's murder, why do you want to hide it for her? You just admire Xu Chong's strict law enforcement, but why did he change when he comes to himself?" A smirk appeared on the corner of San's mouth. It kept holding this sentence in his heart. Now it finally came out. It depends on how Zhao Zimai explained it.

"The law is dead, but human favors are alive. The law is not used to forbid human favors. Yu killed his husband to save his children. In my opinion, this is illegal but it is in line with love. However, she didn't know at that time that Gu Yuming was not willing to kill Xiaoling, but just let her go away. It was pitiful to those three children and lost all their parents, but fortunately Susan took them in. I think she would provide them with a stable and happy life."

"What I said is reasonable, not to mention that there are evil laws in this method." Sang muttered.

Zhao Zimai couldn't understand it. He always felt that it was strange recently, as if it was hidden. But what would a person like him have to worry about, no, if someone who didn't know whether he should be called a human or another person would have?

He was hesitating whether to ask, Baotian's voice suddenly rang outside the hall, "Young Master, what are you doing here? This guild hall is lively, some performing operas, some paintings and inscriptions, some selling all kinds of novel things, and some fighting."

***

The fight was a local person in Maocheng, one was Hu Bing, a businessman who sold medicinal materials, and the other was Li Yong, a local squire. The reason for the fight was that both of them had drunk too much. Because of an inexplicable topic, no one wanted to be at a disadvantage. In the end, they fought. The result of the fight was that Li Yong lost, not because he showed mercy, but because he rushed towards Hu Bingshi, hit his head on the corner of the chair, and had a big bump on his forehead.

Fighting is common in the Nanshan Guild Hall. There are many people who make trouble after drinking, and there are always a few troubles every few days. But this time it is a bit different because Li Yong disappeared that night.

Three days later, his body was found in the forest behind Hu Bing's house, while Hu Bing was taken away by the government.

According to many people, Li Yong once went to look for Hu Bing on the night of his disappearance, and Hu Bing himself admitted this. He said that he slept until midnight that night and suddenly woke up for some reason. When he opened his eyes, he saw a man standing by the bed. He looked like Li Yong, and he was holding a bright knife in his hand.

During the fight, he seemed to have snatched the knife and inserted it into Li Yong's stomach. He still remembered that Li Yong fled in a hurry and followed him, but he didn't remember what happened later. Because he had drunk too much that day, when he woke up, he found that he was lying in his yard, with the sharp knife covered with blood on his side.

Therefore, when the officials came over to ask, Hu Bing was so scared that he was speechless and quickly explained the causes and consequences of his murder. However, when Wu Yuanli asked "Why did you cut off Li Yong's face?", Hu Bing was confused.

Yes, Li Yong's skin was cut off. Not only was it cut off, but many important organs and skin on his body were also cut off. When he was discovered, he was naked and had no intact part of his body, which was very terrifying.

"I...no...no, I...I don't remember stripping him..."

Hu Bing stammered and said that he was denied, but he seemed to admit his crime when he said it. So, Wu Yuanli sneered at him, laughed a few times, and threw the knife he hid under the bed in front of him, "Mr. Xu has experienced it. The hair left on the knife is exactly the same as the one on the corpse. Listen, it was Mr. Xu Chong and Xu personally tested it. You have nothing to say, right? You ate too much wine that night and don't remember many things clearly, but this evidence will not lie. Hu Bing, I advise you to admit it quickly."

Xu Chong's reputation is well-known and everyone in Maocheng knows it, so after Wu Yuanli said this, Hu Bing stopped saying anything and let the yamen runners take him away.

Seeing him being carried out by two yamen runners, Wu Yuanli breathed out, sorted out his clothes, and smiled, "This case is easy to solve, unlike the case of the Yang family, which took so many days."

"The case was solved, but sir, why didn't Lord Xu come with him today? I saw him yesterday, looking worried. I wonder if something happened at home?" A little yamen runner asked.

Wu Yuanli frowned, "Oh? Is it true? Is Mr. Xu's mother sick again? But I didn't hear him say that, but when he gave me the weapon yesterday, he really looked in poor spirits, and I don't know what's wrong."
