Chapter 29: Intimidation

"What? Now the government won't even allow the people to protect themselves? Did I stay in Kyoto too long and remember it wrongly? Or is this a law unique to your Yuancheng government?"

Nan Qi stood still, looking at Qin Yian calmly, without a trace of panic on his handsome face.

"Shen San, step back."

Shen San looked at Qin Yian, feeling somewhat dissatisfied, but he still obeyed Qin Yian's orders.

"Sir, you're too kind. We in Yuancheng have always followed the laws of the Apocalypse Dynasty. It's just that our men were a little impulsive. Besides, someone died after all. We can't just take your one-sided words and say that the deceased is a bandit, right?"

"Really? Why don't you just investigate it? You can't ask me, an ordinary citizen, to investigate the case, right?" Nan Qi smiled with a bit of glaring contempt.

Shen San was so angry at his attitude that sharp knives seemed to be shooting out of his eyes.

Qin Yian's face was gloomy. "We will investigate, of course! If we find out that he's not a bandit, then you can't escape responsibility either!"

Nanqi put on a "whatever you want" look. Then he walked out of the gate and pointed in the direction of Minghe. "Oh, there are a few corpses of bandits over there."

"I've only been here a few days, and I've already encountered two bandit attacks. If it were ordinary people without martial arts skills, I don't know how many people would have to die before the government noticed!"

"The public security in Yuancheng is really worrying."

Nanqi turned and looked at Qin Yian, his eyes full of sarcasm.

Qin Yian clenched his hands and felt uncomfortable.

The bandit problem in Yuancheng was actually not his responsibility. Since Zhang Zhiyi came, the bandit problem had improved a lot. Who could have known that the eastern suburbs would be visited by so many bandits?

However, these bandits were, after all, the government's business, and even if it was not his responsibility, he could not refute what others said.

"Once the authorities have investigated this matter, we will give you an explanation. However, someone has died. Before we find out the whole story, please do not leave Yuancheng. We will ensure that the authorities can find you if they need assistance."

I originally thought that the man would be speechless about such a reasonable request, but unexpectedly, he refused sarcastically again.

Nan Qi sneered, "So, as long as your government can't find the truth, I can't leave? If I meet a capable government official, it's fine. Anyway, since it's snowing so hard I can't go home, so I can wait."

"But what if it's just a government office where I just sit there and do nothing? Then I'll have to wait till the end of time."

Shen San couldn't hold it in any longer and pulled out his sword, placing it on Nan Qi's neck. "You actually slandered the government so openly! You're saying such outrageous things. Don't you want to live?"

Nan Qi stared at Qin Yian with a cold look in his eyes. "Is this how you officials threaten the people?"

Shen San was furious. "I did this. It has nothing to do with our boss! I just intimidated you. What can you do to me?"

"Shen San!!"

Qin Yian's face was gloomy. He really didn't expect the man in front of him to be so difficult to deal with. Looking at his demeanor, he must be of a noble status.

After all, in Kyoto, although merchants have a low status, everyone knows that the government and the business community have always been deeply involved.

It's better not to offend.

Shen San was very angry, but he had to listen to Qin Yian. Seeing Nan Qi's expression full of mockery and contempt, he really wanted to chop him with a knife!

"In that case, I won't disturb you two from working on the case." Nan Qi turned around indifferently, "Uncle Zhang, close the door!"

Shen San had a sinister look on his face. Ever since he became a constable, he could not raise his head except in front of his superiors. But when facing the businessmen and common people below him, who was not polite to him?

Now, he was humiliated by the son of a merchant!

The door was closed. Shen San asked in confusion, "Boss, he's just a merchant's son. Why are you so polite to him?"

Qin Yian unclenched his fists, a look of helplessness on his face. "Although he's the son of a merchant, he said he came from Kyoto. In that place, anyone you grab is a high-ranking official. Are you sure he doesn't have someone backing him up?"

Shen San's expression froze, and the anger on his face turned into helplessness. "That's right. If there was no one behind it, how could ordinary merchants dare to speak so arrogantly to the government..."

Or is it that their status is too low, otherwise, why would they be treated so lightly?

Qin Yian took one last look at the gate of Anheju, and all his emotions were suppressed. "Let's go and take a look next door."

"Then, won't you look for that woman anymore?" Shen San asked behind him.

"Send someone to guard the door." Since he went out to collect herbs, he would have to come back.

Shen San understood and immediately made arrangements.

Two bodies lay in the Zhang family compound, blood splattered everywhere, as if after a fierce fight. Flower pots, bonsai trees, wooden stands, and broken railings were all in a mess.

After looking at the environment in the yard, Qin Yian walked to the two corpses. Upon closer inspection, he discovered that the two men were wearing night clothes and had their faces covered!

People dressed like this don't look like bandits, but more like assassins or killers!

"What's wrong, boss?"

Shen San saw Qin Yian standing beside a corpse in silence, his expression changing again and again. Did he discover something?

Qin Yian said nothing, but carefully removed the veil covering the corpse's face. The large black mole beneath the veil, and the face that left a deep impression on him, confirmed his suspicions.

His face changed drastically and he couldn't help but take two steps back.

Shen San supported Qin Yian. Seeing the shock and fear in his eyes, his doubts deepened. "Boss? Do you know this person?"

Qin Yian shook his head, sat down on the stairs in the corridor, and fell into deep thought.

Why does this person appear here?

Last night, the Chief Secretary specifically inquired about the information of the murderer in the western suburbs. Could it be that he was providing convenience for this person?

Did he come here to assassinate that woman?

So what does this matter have to do with the Chief Secretary?

Could it be that the person behind the murder in the western suburbs is the Chief Secretary?

The more Qin Yian thought about it, the more frightened he became. If it was really as he guessed, could he still investigate this matter?

"Ding dong."

Shen San saw something flying over his head. When it landed on the ground, he saw a ball of paper wrapped in a stone.

Qin Yian was still lost in his own thoughts, so he went to pick it up himself.

However, what was written on the note made Shen San's expression fly. "Boss!"

Qin Yian came back to his senses and saw the note he handed over, which said that Lady He was in the backyard next door!

Shen San asked anxiously, "Boss, do you want to search?"

Qin Yian held the note in his hand, unable to make a decision.

"Boss, what's wrong with you? Why are you still hesitating?"

Seeing that Qin Yian was still in a daze, Shen San made up his mind and rushed to the next room with the others.
