A Strange Sign In!
"You have done well this time and have done a great service for the people of Yang Valley. During this period of time, you will be in charge of supervising the repair of the city walls!”
After successfully completing the tax collection, Yanggu County's treasury became full. Yang Yi decided to reward them according to their contributions.
He let Wu Song supervise the repair of the city wall.
From Yang Yi's point of view, this job was very important. He needed a reliable person to supervise it and prevent concealment and false reporting.
However, from the perspective of the others.
Yang Yi had arranged a lucrative job for Wu Song. The benefits of such a huge project were self-evident.
"Thank you for your trust, sir. This subordinate will do his best.”
Wu Song naturally understood what was going on. It was just that he was righteous and open-minded.
He would never do anything against his conscience and decided to supervise the repair of the city wall so that the people of Yanggu County could have a safe place to live.
"Sir, there's an urgent report!"
After Wu Song expressed his stance, Yang Yi planned to let him busy himself. A bailiff hurriedly ran into the door and respectfully shouted at Yang Yi.
At the same time, he looked at Wu Song and hesitated.
"What's the urgent matter?"
Seeing the bailiff's hurried appearance, Yang Yi did not put on airs and asked the bailiff to report in detail immediately.
The bailiff did not dare to delay and hurriedly explained the matter.
"Replying to the county magistrate, Head Wu's brother was injured on his way home. He was seriously injured!”
Yang Yi and Wu Song were both curious as to why the bailiffs were so panicked.
Especially Wu Song. After hearing that his brother was beaten up, his expression tightened and he was very angry.
"Sir, this subordinate will take his leave first!"
Wu Song couldn't care less at this moment. He hurriedly bowed to Yang Yi and quickly left.
It was obvious that he cared a lot about Wu Dalang.
"Have you invited a doctor?"
Hearing that Wu Dalang was beaten up, the clever Yang Yi had already guessed many things.
He stood up and walked into the hall. His expression was solemn as he asked the bailiff.
"Milord, the doctor has already rushed over.”
The bailiffs observed his expression and saw that the county magistrate was very concerned about Wu Song's family, so they immediately remembered this matter.
He decided to build a good relationship with Wu Song and not provoke him. Those rich men did not dare to challenge Yang Yi. Wu Song, who had the support of the county magistrate, was not an existence he could afford to provoke.
"Chang Yuchun, come with me to the streets. Zhang An, bring a few people with you and buy some things.”
He thought that Wu Dalang might have suffered revenge because Wu Song collected taxes.
Yang Yi decided to go to Wu clan to take a look and understand the situation, it would be best if he could catch the thief.
"Yes, sir!"
Zhang An received the order and immediately followed Yang Yi out of the county office.
Yang Yi brought Chang Yuchun to the streets and left under the lead of a constable.
This time, he did not take the sedan chair, but walked over.
On the way, the people of Yanggu County saw Yang Yi, the handsome and elegant young county magistrate with an extraordinary temperament.
They all stopped to watch, and some people kept greeting Yang Yi.
There were also many women who passed by. After taking a look at Yang Yi, their beautiful eyes lit up and they kept sizing him up.
"Where is the crime scene?"
Ignoring the admiring gazes around him, Yang Yi asked the constable.
Xing Tong was not around today, so a constable was serving Yang Yi.
"Milord, it's in the alley over there.”
The constable did not dare to delay and led Yang Yi towards the alley.
He had been worried about Yang Yi's safety, but after seeing Chang Yuchun's guard, his nervousness lessened.
Although he had never seen Chang Yuchun fight, he could tell from the light in his eyes that this person was definitely not ordinary.
A moment later, Yang Yi arrived at the crime scene and checked the situation in the alley.
"Looks like it was a last-minute idea. Otherwise, it would be safer to make a move in the morning.”
After checking the scene, Yang Yi realized that there were many bloodstains on the ground. His expression turned cold as he guessed.
This place was just a little quiet, not remote.
There was a high risk of being blocked if one were to fight here.
Therefore, he guessed that the perpetrator had most likely done it on the spur of the moment.
"You guys go around and see if there are any clues or suspicious points. I'll go to Wu Dutou's house to take a look."
Yang Yi immediately ordered after checking the scene.
Then, he left quickly with Chang Yuchun to check on Wu Dalang's injuries.
"These people really have the heart to bully someone like Wu Dalang.”
"Isn't that so? If this person was caught by Wu Song, wouldn't he be chopped into a thousand pieces!”
"Sigh! Perhaps after the great joy, there would be great sorrow!”
"The county magistrate is here!"
Just as the neighbors were discussing Wu Dalang, they saw Yang Yi arrive.
While these people were shocked, they hurriedly bowed and greeted Yang Yi.
Yang Yi nodded in response. He was not interested in chatting with these gossipy women.
"Magistrate, please come in and sit.”
Pan Jinlian was sulking in the room. When she heard the commotion outside, she hurriedly ran out to take a look.
Seeing that it was the handsome young man, Yang Yi, who had arrived, he hurriedly came to the door to welcome him, and his mood inexplicably became better.
"You don't need to be too sad. I will definitely catch the culprit.
Zhang An!"
Seeing that Pan Jinlian was in a bad mood, Yang Yi comforted her with concern.
Then, he asked Zhang An to step forward and deliver the gifts to Pan Jinlian.
When others gave him gifts, of course he had to hide them. Yang Yi had to be more high-profile when he gave gifts to the people.
It would help to raise his prestige among the people.
"Ah! Many…many thanks, my lord."
Pan Jinlian was not used to seeing an official send so many gifts.
In the past, the county magistrate would take things from the hands of the commoners. She did not expect that today, the good-looking county magistrate would actually give her a gift.
She wanted to refuse, but when she saw Yang Yi's sincere face, she accepted it with a perturbed heart.
"How are Wu Dalang's injuries?"
Yang Yi asked when he saw Pan Jinlian accepting a bunch of gifts.
Without needing Pan Jinlian to invite him again, he followed her into the house and decided to check on Wu Dalang's condition personally.
As it was cloudy today, the lighting in the room was not very good.
Under Pan Jinlian's lead, they avoided the threshold and entered the inner room.
At this moment, a doctor was examining Wu Dalang's injuries.
Yang Yi went over to take a look and found that Wu Dalang's eyes were tightly shut. His face was bruised and purple, and there were some bloodstains on his head.
He was unconscious.
"Milord, why are you here? Damn thief, if I catch him, I'll beat him to death!”
Seeing Yang Yi arrive, Wu Song appeared very surprised.
After bowing to Yang Yi, he gritted his teeth and muttered to himself in anger.
"Don't be rash! We'll talk about it after we investigate."
Seeing that Wu Song was very angry, Yang Yi opened his mouth to remind him.
He guessed that this case was most likely the work of those wealthy merchants. Otherwise, how could Xing Tong be fine while Wu Dalang suffered an undeserved calamity?
"Ding! The system's check-in mission has been issued."
"Check in location: Wu Dalang and Pan Jinlian's room.”
"Sign in for the mission. Don't worry, if you die, I'll take care of your wife for you.”
Yang Yi wanted to ask the doctor about the details, but the system notification suddenly sounded.
However, when Yang Yi finished listening to the check-in mission, he was very surprised and dumbfounded!
