"Severely punish the murderer!"
"Give the Xu family justice!"
"Yes, the murderer must be severely punished, and justice must be served for the Xu family!"
......
The onlookers shouted angrily upon seeing this.
Many of them had received favors from the Xu family, so it's fine if the Xu family died in an accident.
But now that the Xu family has been secretly murdered, the people are naturally filled with righteous indignation.
Huang Tongpan broke out in a cold sweat. It wasn't that he was afraid of these people causing trouble, but they were just ordinary people. If things got really bad, he could just send people to suppress them.
What he feared was that if the matter were exposed, Tong Mingshan would come after him.
Previously, with Qin Wenqing keeping him in check, Tong Mingshan kept a low profile. Now, however, Tong Mingshan practically controls everything in Yulin, and he's afraid of him.
Su Ruojin looked at Magistrate Huang, "Magistrate, what do you have to say now?"
Magistrate Huang wiped the sweat from his brow, trying to calm himself. "In that case, I will return and report to the magistrate. He will thoroughly investigate this case and give everyone an explanation. Let's go!"
After saying this, Magistrate Huang led his constables away quickly, as he needed to hurry back to discuss countermeasures with Lord Tong.
As for a thorough investigation of the case, he wasn't worried; it was just something he said casually.
In any government office, there are always a bunch of unsolved old cases, and some cases just get left unresolved after being dragged on for a while.
After this incident, Judge Huang realized that Zhao Ruojin was definitely not as simple as she appeared.
After Judge Huang left, Su Ruojin hired people to help the Xu family members be properly buried again, and also had a religious ceremony performed to pray for the souls of the deceased.
Afterwards, Su Ruojin went to the courtyard in the suburbs to check on the recovery of Xu Jinling and his nephew.
Upon arriving at the courtyard, the two were still unconscious, but their high fever had subsided and their wounds were healing. Yanluo administered acupuncture to them.
"Miss, I checked their pulses, and they should wake up tomorrow."
"Okay, then we'll come back tomorrow."
Having just dug up someone's ancestral grave, Su Ruojin felt a little guilty, even though there was a reason for it. She decided to personally apologize to Xu Jinling.
After visiting Xu Jinling and his nephew, on the way back to the city, An Yi, who was acting as the coachman, whispered, "Master, someone is following us."
Su Ruojin's lips curled into a cold smile. What, is Tong Mingshan so impatient to make a move against her?
"Let Liu Jing handle it."
"Yes." An Yi raised his hand and made a gesture, then ignored it and continued driving.
There's nothing to worry about regarding Liu Jing's health.
Su Ruojin closed her eyes in the car, intending to take a nap, when she heard An Yi's voice again, "Master, the person is still following us."
Su Ruojin opened her eyes. She hadn't realized that Tong Mingshan was quite capable; the people he sent out had actually managed to get rid of Liu Jing.
So far, Su Ruojin has only seen some ordinary yamen runners on Tong Mingshan's side. When will the yamen runners of Da Chu Pu be able to stop the commander of the Imperial Guard of Xiaoyue Kingdom?
"Master, the people are getting closer." An Yi quickened the pace of the carriage.
"An Yi, how many people are on the other side?" Su Ruojin asked.
An Yi listened carefully, a hint of surprise flashing in his eyes. "Master, it seems to be just one person."
one person?
Even Liu Jing couldn't stop one person?
