Chapter 210 It must be you who killed my husband!
The county magistrate and the chief clerk both looked at Magistrate Fu at the same time. As the county magistrate of Qucheng, he has always been the one who holds up the sky with one hand.
He didn't move, and the two men didn't dare to move either.
"Don't dare to dislike it."
County Magistrate Fu always felt that he was being suppressed in front of Song Jiuyuan.
But he is the prefect's man. No matter how arrogant Song Jiuyuan is, he knows nothing about Jiuzhou, so he and the prefect are still needed.
Thinking of this, the county magistrate felt relieved and was no longer so afraid of Song Jiuyuan.
After all... Jiuzhou is the prefect's territory, and he has spies everywhere.
Even if Song Jiuyuan was a prince, he might not be able to do anything to the prefect.
"Song Yi, feed him!"
Song Jiuyuan slowly picked up the towel and wiped his lips. Song Yi received the order and directly pinched County Magistrate Fu's jaw and stuffed the noodles into his mouth.
"Sir, I will eat it myself!"
Magistrate Fu was so frightened that his hand holding the chopsticks was shaking slightly.
The county magistrate and the chief clerk behind him looked at each other, then picked up the noodles and started eating in tacit understanding.
Since they had to eat, resistance was useless and they could only do as they were told.
Of course, at that time they didn't know about Song Jiuyuan's crazy behavior.
When he was halfway through eating the noodles, Magistrate Fu suddenly started to twitch all over, "I..."
He rolled his eyes, his eyes full of disbelief, then he stretched out his legs and fainted.
The county magistrate and the chief clerk were so frightened that the noodles in their hands fell to the ground with a thud.
"Quick, go find a doctor!"
Madam Song was so frightened that her heart skipped a beat. Apart from Jiang Wan, no one knew what Song Jiuyuan was planning.
Song Jiuli gently tugged at the corner of Jiang Wan's clothes, "Sister-in-law, how about..."
"Li'er!"
Madam Song shook her head at Song Jiuli. It was not that she was selfish, but Wanwan should not be involved in such matters.
If this person deliberately framed Yuan'er, they would not be able to say anything.
Everyone else remained silent and didn't mention that Jiang Wan was a doctor. Fortunately, this place was not far from the county magistrate.
Song Yi brought a doctor directly from the county magistrate's office. When the doctor arrived, the noodles on the ground had already been cleaned up.
Magistrate Fu was placed on the bed, and he seemed to have stopped breathing.
The county magistrate and the chief clerk knelt there in fear, not even having the courage to look at Song Jiuyuan.
"grown ups!"
This doctor was the official physician of the county government. When he saw Magistrate Fu's condition, he was so frightened that he quickly felt his pulse.
The next second, he knelt on the ground with a pale face, wailing:
"grown ups!"
"master!"
A woman suddenly rushed in. This was the wife of County Magistrate Fu. Song Yi had startled her when he went there just now.
She stumbled in, took Magistrate Fu's hand and asked the court doctor.
"What's wrong, Master?"
"Madam, the master...is gone."
The court doctor shook his head in pain, obviously unwilling to accept this fact.
Song Jiuyuan lowered his voice and said to Qingshan on the side: "Go to the county government office and bring the coroner here."
"yes."
Qingshan left quietly, and at this time, Mrs. Fu's sharp eyes fell on Song Jiuyuan and his group, and she gritted her teeth and asked the court doctor.
"The master was fine when he left, how could he suddenly be gone?"
It must be them, they are the ones who harmed the master!
She had to write a letter to the prefect and must not let them go!
"The master died suddenly."
The court doctor didn't know the identities of Song Jiuyuan and the others, but he knew that he couldn't afford to offend them.
So he told the truth without hesitation. This was the result of his pulse diagnosis, and he did not lie.
Mrs. Fu couldn't accept it, "It's impossible. The old man has always been in good health. How could he suddenly die?"
As she spoke, she looked at the county magistrate and the chief clerk who were huddled in the corner, "Tell me, how did the master die?"
Normally, the master would share any good things he had with the county magistrate, even the dirty silver had a share for him.
So Mrs. Fu waited for an explanation from the county magistrate.
But after watching the county magistrate lose his life, the county magistrate dared not offend Song Jiuyuan.
He just lowered his head silently, pretending not to see Mrs. Fu's inquiring look.
"My condolences, ma'am."
The court doctor explained: "Perhaps you are overworked, which has caused other diseases in your body."
“Impossible, impossible!”
Mrs. Fu broke down and cried loudly. Her husband had always cherished his life, so how could he allow himself to die of exhaustion?
She suddenly glared at Jiang Wan and Song Jiuyuan fiercely, "It was you, you must have killed my husband!"
"You can't make false statements without evidence."
Although they had doubts in their hearts, Song Jiuchi and the others would definitely stand on Song Jiuyuan's side.
Song Jiuli also stiffened his neck and said, "The doctor said he was overworked."
"The coroner is here!"
Soon, Qingshan brought a coroner, and of course the answer given was the same: overwork.
Mrs. Fu wanted to make a fuss again, but Song Jiuyuan lightly threw out an account book.
"Mr. Fu is indeed very busy, busy exploiting the people."
Mrs. Fu quickly picked up the account book on the ground and took a look. When she saw the contents clearly, her face turned pale as snow.
She didn't know much about what her husband did, but she knew a lot too.
Now that the handle was in Song Jiuyuan's hand, she could only swallow her anger and take the man away in disgrace.
They were the only ones left in the room, and Song Jiuyuan curled his lips playfully.
"Now...is it time to explain clearly what Magistrate Fu did?"
Song Jiuyuan is very good at using the tactic of killing the chicken to scare the monkey.
The county magistrate and the chief clerk were both sweating profusely and their eyes were filled with fear. The county magistrate was so frightened that he wet his pants.
"Your Majesty, I recruit everyone."
"Song Yi, you take note."
Song Jiuyuan asked a series of questions, and the county magistrate answered them one by one. He was the most trusted by County Magistrate Fu, so naturally he knew more.
As for the chief clerk, he is not a bad person, but he is not a good person either. He just performs his duties and rarely interferes in other people's affairs.
When he met Song Jiuyuan this moment, there was a bit more excitement in his eyes.
Only after Song Jiuyuan finished asking the question did he look at the chief clerk and said, "You tell me."
"I have a booklet at home containing some evidence I have collected."
The chief clerk told Song Yi where the booklet was and knelt on the ground excitedly.
"Your Majesty, the magistrate was planning to take some money and run away with his wife and children, but you came just in time."
He found out this by chance. When he learned of County Magistrate Fu's plan, he racked his brains but could not think of a suitable solution.
Fortunately, the prince arrived in time.
"If we had come a step later, we wouldn't have been able to see anything."
Song Jiuchi sighed and roughly realized that the position of Magistrate Fu was held by his eldest brother.
He said sarcastically, "You sound nice, but how do I know if you've also made plans to flee? Are you deliberately surrendering now?"
"I don't have any!"
The chief clerk quickly took out a piece of paper from his sleeve and said, "This is the strategy I came up with to deal with the snowstorm.
However, when I presented it to the county magistrate, he rejected it, and I had no chance to implement it. "
He was just a clerk and really couldn't interfere with the county magistrate's decision.
