The wronged female supporting role made a comeback with a divine reply

Chapter 133 Estrangement

The county magistrate sneered: "How can I tell you where? Don't think that you have become my confidant just because you have been my county magistrate for a few years. You have been a member of the Qin Party from the beginning to the end."

The middle-aged man's eyes flashed: "In this case, I will take you to the capital!"

The county magistrate asked suspiciously, "Are you serious?"

The middle-aged man said, "Of course, sir, I just happen to have a secret to tell you."

"What secret?" The county magistrate asked the middle-aged man as usual.

"Puff!" A dagger stabbed neatly into the county magistrate's abdomen. The middle-aged man continued, "As long as you die, the account book will be gone, right?"

The county magistrate immediately vomited blood and fell to the ground dying. He stared with his eyes wide open, as if he could never have imagined that this man would dare to kill him.

The middle-aged man showed a mocking expression: "Fool, do you really think I am willing to assist you? If the things in the back mountain had not appeared in your jurisdiction, you, a pig-brained person, would not even be worthy of carrying my shoes!

Are you surprised? Let me tell you, when Prince An accidentally discovered that Ma Village was destroyed, this was a trap. I kept sending some rubbish to assassinate him, so he must have hidden his identity and went to Yuzhou to call people.

Now that he's here, I'll send someone to attack Bai Zhuangyuan again. Whether it succeeds or not, I'll say that it was Master An who ordered you to kill him, and you were silenced by Master An. Don't you think it's perfect?"

The county magistrate pointed his finger at him with a trembling voice: "You...you are not afraid..."

The middle-aged man said slowly, "Oh, you mean your so-called account book? Haha! Nine out of ten of your trusted aides are my people. Didn't expect that? Anyway, we have dug up most of the things in the back mountain, so you can go on your way with peace of mind!"

There was a dead silence in the county magistrate's eyes, and he was no longer breathing.

The middle-aged man regained his composure and sneered again: "Ledger? Humph! Stupid!"

Majia Village.

Bai Zhaozhao walked around the village, which was left with only ruins, and said firmly, "It was poison. Although we don't know what the poison was, it should be a spice. Its smell will make people weak all over, and even unable to make a sound. It won't kill them, but they will have no power to resist. As long as they take the opportunity to set fire, it will be the easiest to conceal their tracks."

Bai Lin and An Shizi nodded. They could have expected this result, but they still wanted to see if there were any more clues. Unfortunately, too much time had passed and the bodies had been disposed of.

Suddenly, a man ran down from Qiyun Mountain in the south. He was covered in blood and shouted as he ran: "Help, help!"

Everyone looked over and saw a middle-aged man. He ran towards them in panic, as if he had found a life-saving straw. He kept looking back nervously from time to time, as if someone was chasing him.

Prince An gave a look, and a group of guards surrounded Bai Lin again.

When the middle-aged man was about to run over, he suddenly turned pale with fear and said in horror: "An, Prince An!"

After saying this, he seemed to be in despair, his eyes were lifeless, and he collapsed to the ground.

An Shizi: ???

Bai Lin asked doubtfully: "Who are you?"

The middle-aged man was shocked when he heard this. He looked up and was struck by lightning: "You are... you are Bai Zhuangyuan! You are not... not dead!"

Bai Lin's expression suddenly changed: "You recognize me? It seems that you are the one who ordered the beast tamer to kill me?"

"No, no!" The middle-aged man seemed to have figured something out. He glanced at Shizi An warily, and tried to crawl to Bai Lin with a twisted look.

As if he had given up everything, he said in hatred, "It was Prince An who ordered it! He wants to kill you! He is afraid that after you succeed in providing disaster relief, you will find out about Lu County sooner or later, so he took the initiative to lure you to Lu County and then kill you. This way he can clear himself of suspicion!"

An Shizi:!!!

Bai Lin:!!!

Bai Zhaozhao: ...

This is really out of line! How is this possible? Bai Zhaozhao felt that her IQ was rubbed to the ground. She suspected the Qin Party for a long time, but the Qin Party turned around and said it was Prince An?

Seeing that they all looked unconvinced, the middle-aged man continued, "Mr. Bai, what I said is true! I am the county magistrate of Lu County. A few days ago, the county magistrate suddenly asked me to resign and return home. I was unwilling to accept this and wanted to find an explanation, so I came to the county magistrate's manor on Mount Qiyun!

As a result, I saw that everyone there was dead! The county magistrate was also dying. Before he died, he told me that it was Prince An who asked the county magistrate to pretend to assassinate him, and then lure you here to create a scene where you were killed by a black bear!

Now they are trying to kill the county magistrate to silence him! If I didn't have any skills, I would have been killed by the two people lying in ambush there, so I ran out to ask for help! Bai Zhuangyuan, believe me, Prince An is the culprit of all this!"

Prince An snorted coldly: "Okay, then tell me why I do this?"

Bai Lin rolled his eyes and asked directly: "Tell me the truth about the destruction of Ma Village first!"

The middle-aged man knew that Bai Lin didn't believe him, so he continued to perform: "The destruction of Majia Village was also ordered by Prince An, because, because an iron mine was discovered on the back mountain of Qiyun Mountain!"

An Shizi:!!!

Bai Lin:!!!

Bai Zhaozhao:!!!

Iron ore? Is there an iron ore in the back of Qiyun Mountain? The laws of the Tianyuan Dynasty stipulate that iron ore belongs to the court and cannot be mined privately without authorization!

In addition to the ancestral assets passed down by several large families that have existed in the previous dynasty, such as the Xu family.

The middle-aged man continued, "Prince An slaughtered the village because the mineral resources have been almost mined out! The villagers here are useless and might spread the news, so they were killed. Oh, by the way, there is also the matter of the canal. The back mountain needs water, so a canal was built to divert water.

"Mr. Bai, everything I said is true! And Prince An also said that you could have survived, but you did such a good job in disaster relief in Yuzhou! Sooner or later, they will find out about this, so we have to take the initiative!"

Prince An laughed angrily: "Great! I never thought that a mere county magistrate could be so eloquent! So what do you think I should do after I kill Bai Zhuangyuan?"

The middle-aged man seemed to be frightened by the appearance of Master An. He trembled and moved towards Bai Lin, but was stopped by a sword.

It’s Bai Zhaozhao.

The middle-aged man secretly hated that he could not get close to Bai Lin, and could not help but get anxious: "Bai Zhuangyuan, what I said is true! Now that I think about it, the county magistrate must have wanted me to resign and return home to leave a way out, hoping that if he had any accident, I would be able to redress his grievances!

By the way, Prince An also said that once Bai Zhuangyuan died, he would say that it was all done by the county magistrate, and that he had committed suicide out of fear of punishment! He could also continue to maintain a good relationship with the Bai family in the name of revenge for Bai Zhuangyuan. Maybe, maybe he could even get Miss Bai! Because Prince An has always coveted Miss Bai! He wants to get her!"
