One lap was over very quickly.
The two of them were so tired that they were panting.
The winner was naturally the muscular man.
The thin man hurriedly shouted.
"Milord, he is clearly a thief. Why did he ask us to run? Those who ran slower would be beaten ten times! My lord, you've been wronged!"
Now, the run was over.
The magistrate looked at Yun Fan.
"Now can you tell me who the thief is?”
Yun Fan replied with a faint smile.
"Naturally, the slower ones are thieves!”
The surrounding crowd was stunned.
They didn't react in time.
Even the county magistrate was the same.
He frowned slightly.
He said in an unfriendly tone.
"How can you be so careless? To judge who was the thief by running, wasn't that a joke to the government?”
He saw the other party's angry expression.
Yun Fan shrugged and explained.
"Magistrate! Actually, the answer was already in front of everyone.”
"They all said that they caught up with the thief and helped the old woman snatch back the items.”
"Please ask! If the strong man was the thief, how could the thin man catch up?”
Only then did the surrounding people react.
"That's right! The skinny man couldn't even run, so how could the other party catch up to the thief?”
"I see! This Mister Ghostfox is really amazing!"
"The skinny man is really detestable. He actually complained first!!”
“…………”
At this moment, there was no need for instructions. The bailiffs had already stepped forward and arrested the thin and weak man.
The magistrate smiled.
"Hahaha, as expected of a Scholar Wanderer. You solved the case so easily in such an interesting way.!”
Yun Fan put away his folding fan and cupped his fists.
"You flatter me! I am untalented and unlearned, and I have only used a small trick!!”
Magistrate Yun Fan patted his shoulder happily.
"Let's go! It's getting late. To thank you for your help, I'll entertain you tonight!”
"I am! It's better to accept it than to respect it!"
On the way to the tavern.
Dian Wei asked softly.
"Young Master, why did you intervene in this case?”
The current world was rather chaotic.
The Yellow Turban Army had just wreaked havoc.
They had encountered many hardships and grievances along the way.
Yun Fan didn't mind his own business.
Therefore, Dian Wei was very curious about what had just happened.
He looked around and saw that no one was paying attention to them.
Yun Fan said.
"There's going to be a big show, but we don't have the status to participate.”
"So we need a form of allegiance. Only then would they have more opportunities to participate in that big show!”
Dian Wei was confused.
"Young Master, what is it?"
"I can't say! I'll understand when the time comes!"
At the table.
Both sides had the intention to befriend each other.
Yun Fan took this opportunity to settle down in Runan City.
The magistrate had even specially prepared a small courtyard for Yun Fan.
………
Two days later.
Yun Fan was fishing by the pond.
He saw a bailiff walking over.
"Mr. Ghostfox, the magistrate invites you over!”
He nodded and put away the fishing rod.
"Dian Wei, put away the fish!"
"Yes, Young Master!"
"Hualala", a few vines dragged up, along with a string of fish.
Each of them weighed nearly a catty.
"Tsk tsk tsk…! There's fish soup to drink tonight. Put the fish away and we'll go to the government office!”
"Yes, sir!"
The runner brought Yun Fan to the government office.
At this moment, there were three people kneeling in the hall.
A man dressed in gorgeous clothes.
A man dressed as a fisherman.
There was also a beautiful woman.
As soon as he entered the hall, he saw the county magistrate frowning.
He saw Yun Fan coming over.
It was as if he had seen his savior.
He hurriedly waved his hand.
"Mr. Ghostfox, come here quickly! I've come across another troublesome case, and I need your help!!!”
Yun Fan walked forward.
"I don't know! What is this case?"
Now, he also looked at the historian.
He immediately understood.
He stood up and explained to Yun Fan.
"Mr. Ghostfox, this is what happened.”
"This woman is called Sanniang, and her man is called Zhao San. He has been missing for three days.”
"Three days ago, Zhao San and this Boss Xu were cousins. They made an appointment to take a boat to the capital to do business.”
"Boss Xu went to the dock we agreed on, but he didn't see Zhao San.”
"This boatman who made an appointment in advance also said that he had never seen Zhao San.”
"Now Boss Xu suspects that Sanniang seduced a man outside and caused his brother's death!”
"But according to the investigation, Sanniang is also a dutiful woman and has not interacted with other men.”
" We're in a stalemate!!"
He raised his eyebrows slightly.
He looked at the three of them.
Nothing unusual.
He came in front of Boss Xu.
"Tell me what happened.”
"Yes, sir!"
"I made an appointment with my brother to bring the family's money to the capital to do business.”
"For safety reasons, we looked for Li Si. He is also an acquaintance of ours.”
"But the next morning, because I woke up a little late, I didn't see my brother when I went.”
"After that, Li Si and I went to my brother's house.”
"After Li Si called Third Aunt out, Third Aunt said that my brother left early in the morning.”
Then, he stared at Sanniang with a fierce gaze.
"Because Third Aunt is beautiful, there are usually many men who come to seduce her.”
"Although they didn't respond on the surface, who knows what they're doing behind their backs.”
"So I suspect that my brother found something and was killed by the adulterous couple!!”
