After trying hard to sort out his thoughts, Xiang Kang finally spoke and said calmly: "County Master, your analysis makes sense. If I were in your position, I would definitely suspect that I, the person who might become a son-in-law of the Yu family, was the one who really bought the murderer to kill the son of Shan Youwei of Ling County."

"Yes, when I was rushing to propose marriage to Yushu, I was indeed a penniless poor boy. Apart from the ice cracked sword left by my ancestors, I couldn't find any valuable things on my body. The reason why Mr. Yu agreed to marry his daughter to me was completely forced by Shan Youwei. In order not to marry his daughter to the son of Shan Youwei, who died in an unknown way, I could only agree to me and use me as a shield to temporarily get rid of Dan Youwei's entanglement. In fact, he looked down on me and looked down on me at all. I knew this very clearly in my heart."

"Just like the county master speculated, the two younger uncles did take Da Yan to Mr. Yu's house to propose marriage to Mr. Yu's family and ask Mr. Yu to fulfill his promise to marry his daughter to me. Mr. Yu really broke his promise and found various excuses to delay and refuse. He just wanted to delay the matter."

"But you, you guessed something wrong." Xiang Kang's words suddenly turned aside and said, "It was Mr. Yu who once promised to marry my eldest daughter. Although he was indeed beautiful, gentle and virtuous, he was a good wife and mother who could not be met but not sought. But you should never believe that County Master, in fact, I don't have any feelings for her, and I have another lover in my heart."

"Ha." County Magistrate Zhou laughed and said with a sarcastic look on his face: "Xiang Kang, you are right. I really don't believe your words. How can you not be moved by such a good woman?"

"I can't prove that what I'm saying is in my heart." Xiang Kang smiled wryly and shook his head, saying, "But County Master, you understand the misunderstanding of the younger generation very well, because if you were the younger generation from County Master, I would also be very suspicious that a poor boy who was rejected for a proposal would have nothing to do in order to marry a rich and beautiful wife?"

"The murderer bribed the son of Shan Youwei, and not only eliminated his love rival, but also took the opportunity to frame the son of Mr. Yu, and then pretended to be a good person and sold a huge favor to the Yu family. The Yu family could only marry his daughter to me and repay his kindness. I had to have a beautiful woman and a generous dowry from the Yu family. I beat multiple kills in one fell swoop. Where can I find such a good thing? In order to achieve this goal, I took risks. What's strange?"

"That's right." County Magistrate Zhou nodded and said frankly: "This is also the key reason why I suspect that you are the real culprit behind the scenes."

Xiang Kang also nodded, and did not refute, but just asked: "County Master, now I am only asking you one question. Since I am the culprit behind the scenes, why do I still have to run back and forth, kowtow and bow everywhere, and ask someone to save Mr. Yu?"

"Nonsense!" Zhou County Magistrate sneered: "If you don't do this, how could the Yu family bear your affection? To repay your kindness, marry your daughter to you?"

"Why don't you pretend to be like a young man and let the Yu family take my affection? Why do you have to try your best to really save Mr. Yu? You even risked being suspected by the county master and ran to your home to ask you to save him?" Xiang Kang raised his voice a little and said, "Will it be more beneficial for me to let Mr. Yu die in the Lingxian prison? At that time, Mr. Yu, who only had Mr. Yu, his rich family property, was all Xiang? All of them belonged to me as my son? Isn't it more that I get?"

County Magistrate Zhou was stunned and then realized that he had forgotten to consider this point - if Yu Zhi really died at the hands of Shan Youwei, the situation would indeed become more beneficial to Xiang Kang, and Xiang Kang could indeed get more benefits.

After hesitating for a long time, the county magistrate Zhou replied slowly: "Maybe you are worried that if Mr. Yu dies in prison, the Yu family will resolutely regret the marriage in anger, and will be even more unwilling to marry your daughter to you. You will lose both your money, so you run around and try to rescue Mr. Yu and sell favors to the Yu family."

"It's possible." Xiang Kang nodded calmly and said, "But County Master, you can ask my eldest brother Feng, what is Yushu of the Yu family's attitude towards me before I decided to commit a fake case to temporarily save Mr. Yu's life? Have you ever said anything that you have to rescue her brother first and then marry me?"

The county magistrate Zhou turned his eyes to Feng Zhong. Feng Zhong was quite loyal and immediately said: "County Master, the subordinate officials can be a proof. At that time, Yu Shu of the Yu family had personally admitted that she was the fiancée of Xiang Kang's brothers. He never said anything that must be rescued by Brother Xiang first before he could agree to marry Brother Xiang. Moreover, the subordinate officials could see that the Yu Shu of the Yu family really likes Brother Xiang Kang."

County Magistrate Zhou stopped talking, Xiang Kangze said again: "County Master, how difficult it is for me to rescue a serious criminal from the county prison? But not only did I not retreat at all, I also racked my brains to come up with a way to make a fake case, and gave you the opportunity to take the opportunity to intervene in that case. Afterwards, I confessed the truth to County Master, and would rather be punished for saving people. I would like to ask a person with ulterior motives, a despicable villain who is greedy for money, lust and lust, how could a despicable villain who is greedy for money and sex or use any means to make such sacrifices? Especially if Mr. Yu died innocently, the biggest beneficiary is me. Why should I spare so much effort to save people?"

County Magistrate Zhou was completely silent. After a long time, County Magistrate Zhou waved his hand, held Xiang Kang's official correspondent and immediately let him go. County Magistrate Zhou said: "Mr. Xiang, don't blame me, you are indeed the most suspicious. And I can tell you clearly that I still doubt you and will continue to investigate."

"I dare not." Xiang Kang bowed and said, "County Master, you can do whatever you want, but before continuing to investigate, I still ask you to find a way to rescue the younger brother of the Yu family. He is really innocent. County Master, you love the people as much as your son. You should not want to see an innocent Qin people killed by Shan Youwei, who is full of bad records?"

County Magistrate Zhou was silent for a while, then said: "The case of the young master of the Yu family is complicated and complicated, and it is not complicated. The key is to see how the person who investigates the case investigates it. If this case was handled by Shan Youwei, the eldest brother Yu, your eldest brother Yu, will be dead. Shan Youwei will definitely impose the charge on his head by any means, and will definitely find a way to drag you into the water, kill you and Mr. Yu with one stone, vent your anger, and use you to bury his son with him."

"What should we do?" Xiang Kang asked.

"The best way is to find a way to get Shan Youwei out of this case." County Magistrate Zhou replied: "If someone else presides over the investigation of this case, it will be easy to clean up Mr. Yu's innocence."

"What should I do?" Xiang Kang asked.

The magistrate Zhou looked puzzled and said, "This matter is easier said than done. After all, I am not the magistrate of Ling County and do not have the power to directly interfere in the officialdom of Ling County. Moreover, Ling County does not belong to Sishui County. Even if I can ask the county magistrate of this county to intervene, it will be useless."

"County Master, isn't Mr. Yu dead?" Feng Zhong asked worriedly.

"It's not completely impossible." County Magistrate Zhou pondered and said: "If we can get some evidence of the crime of Shan Youwei, we can force the county magistrate of Ling County to let Shan Youwei withdraw from the case."

"County Master, can you abuse the punishment by Dan Youwei?" Feng Zhong, a veteran of the case, said carefully: "Today, in the pavilion of Yan Jiting, the subordinate officials saw Dan Youwei abuse the punishment with their own eyes. How about using this excuse to sue him?"

"It's useless. The crime of abuse of punishment can be either minor or serious to officials. If the county magistrate of Ling County is determined to shelter him, you will not sue him." County magistrate Zhou shook his head.

"What about the case of his daughter-in-law committing suicide?" Feng Zhong refused to give up and said, "When the lower officials were interacting with officials in Ling County, they heard that Shan Youwei had died a little unclear. However, because Shan Youwei covered up his son, no one dared to investigate. If the truth of the case could be found, not only could he force Shan Youwei to withdraw from Mr. Yu's case, but he could also directly defeat him?"

"Is this happening?" Zhou County Magistrate asked in surprise: "Shan Youwei is suspected of harboring his son and killing people. Is the person killed or his daughter-in-law?"

"The officials dare not deceive, it is true." Feng Zhong replied truthfully: "This matter has been circulated among the people of Ling County. The Shilingting Pavilion under the jurisdiction of Xiaguan borders Ling County, so I have heard of it more than once. Moreover, Xiaguan also heard that Shan Youwei's daughter-in-law was probably strangled to death by his son who was very famous among the people, and pretended to be hanging himself."

"If this is true, then the son of Shan Youwei deserves to die!" County Magistrate Zhou snorted coldly, and glanced at Xiang Kang, who was still seriously suspected by him. However, after careful consideration, County Magistrate Zhou shook his head and said, "This method is unrealistic. Let's not say that this matter is not within the scope of our ministerial officials' authority. Even if we can investigate secretly, it will not be possible to have any results in ten days or half a month. By then, Mr. Yu had either been killed by Shan Youwei or had been scolded."

Feng Zhong had no choice but to shut his mouth obediently. Xiang Kang, who had been racking his brains beside him, suddenly had an idea and said, "County Master, if I have a way to prove that Shan Youwei had had a marriage with the Yu family, can I let Shan Youwei withdraw from Mr. Yu's case?"

"This is OK," said the magistrate Zhou County. "According to the Qin Dynasty, if the officials who investigate the case have a history of the case, they cannot participate and must avoid suspicion. However, you must have strong evidence. You cannot win the trust by relying on verbal testimony alone."

"I have the iron evidence for you." Xiang Kang nodded quickly, and hurriedly said that he had designed to trick Dian Shusan into writing the iron evidence for the bamboo slips in Yanjiting. Then he said: "I handed that bamboo slip to Mr. Yu later to use it as evidence for their self-defense. It must still be there now. You can take it out at any time and force that Shusan to come out as a certificate."

"Oh." Zhou County Magistrate sighed and said with a wry smile: "Young Master Xiang, do you know that I now suspect that you are doing it. Only with your scheming can you come up with a plan to hire a murderer to kill more than one kill."

"But County Master, if I really feel so vicious, why don't I go further and deliberately refuse to save Master Yu when I see you?" Xiang Kang also smiled bitterly and said, "In this way, can I get more?"

"Maybe you are still conscienced and can't bear to do things too viciously, so you worked hard to make up for your guilt."

County Magistrate Zhou guessed the truth, and then thought in his mind, and said, "This little clerk is indeed very suspicious, but he can't conclude that this case was done by him just by guessing. If it wasn't for him, his future wife and brother would have died too innocently. But if it was really him, his future wife and brother would have died innocently, and he would have gained money in vain. This little clerk has both wealth and he will take over the rich family property of Mr. Yu. Well, let's rescue the innocent first, and then check whether this little clerk should die."

After thinking about this, the magistrate Zhou sighed and said, "Okay, for your remaining conscience, and because that Young Master Yu is indeed an innocent and victimized citizen of the Qin Dynasty. I cannot be ashamed of the court's salary, so I will help you."

After saying that, the Zhou County Magistrate, who was proficient in the Qin Dynasty, quickly planned and quickly designed a method for Xiang Kang and others to force Shan Youwei to withdraw from the case around the bamboo slips and Shu San. Then he agreed to arrange for the Prime Minister Sun Jue, who was the prime minister, to come forward and help Xiang Kang and others act under the banner of pursuing the so-called investigation of the bandits and robbery and injured cases. At the end, the Zhou County Magistrate pointed at Xiang Kang and said, "Mr. Xiang, remember, I helped you to save the innocent. I will investigate your affairs to the end! Once it was found out that it was really what you did, I will never let you go!"

"Let's talk about it when you go to Mangdang Mountain to catch the dog nemesis Fan Kuai, otherwise no matter how suspicious you are, you won't be able to get the ironclad evidence." Xiang Kang was disdainful in his heart, but he replied respectfully: "Please check it carefully. If it was really what I did, I would like to take all the guilt I deserve!"
