Chapter 16 Evidence Collection
Yun Ge's loud exclamation caused the surrounding people to be shocked.

Yang Chang also pretended to be surprised and turned his head to make eye contact with Wu Da.

Wu Da originally despised Wang Po in his heart, but he believed that the dead were the most important. Thinking that Yang Chang was a yamen archer, he reminded him, "Sanlang, go check and confirm. If there is really a murder, you have to report to the county government as soon as possible."

"Oh"

Yang Chang nodded in response and rushed out in a flash.

He ran to Wang Po, squatted down and reached out, and a familiar prompt appeared.

[Obtain a silver tongue, which can improve your eloquence after use. Please choose to use or discard. 】

Improve eloquence?

This is the Water Margin world now, what use is this thing?

Yang Chang disdained the advantage of eloquence, and even more so the ability of Wang Po, so he decisively chose not to accept it.

throw away.

"He's really dead. Go to the government office and call for help. I'll stay here to protect the scene."

"Huh? Oh"

Upon hearing the sound, Yun Ge ran away, crawling. She didn't expect that the old woman who was so strong before would die in such a strange way.

Yang Chang was worried that if he chose to discard it, it would reveal strange things like the rabbit corpse. He was afraid that Yun Ge would ask questions after seeing it, so he found an excuse to send him away.

She watched Yun Ge leave her sight, but Wang Po had nothing on her.

Just when Yang Chang was surprised, he found that the flash was still there, and he got another clue when he probed again.

[Obtain the corpse's obsession. After using it, you can learn the biggest secret of this corpse before its death. Please choose to use it or discard it. ]

Obsession?

The biggest secret?
What's this drop list?

Yang Chang also wanted to eat melons, and his mind automatically turned to use them.

[Obsession is hidden under your feet, dig three feet into the ground and it will be revealed. 】

That’s it?
Do you have to be so cool? You didn't even give me a hint of what's three feet underground. Could it be that there are gold, silver and treasures hidden there?

Before Yang Chang could complain, a white light suddenly flashed in the palm of his right hand, and a copper coin appeared out of thin air.

Just when I was feeling strange, a hint came.

[Lobbying coins, taking money from others to do things for them, giving lobbying coins to the lobbying target can greatly increase the probability of lobbying success. ]

Wow, this is the silver tongue that I just discarded, and then I withdrew the corresponding experience card?

The interpretation of lobbying currency is good, there is no reason for Yang Chang not to want it.

He had just put the lobbying coins into his arms when Wu Da followed him not far away.

When they heard that Wang Po had died, the neighbors and passers-by were all shocked. Diners who were buying buns also left Zi Shi Street immediately for fear of causing trouble.

As it was getting close to noon, Wu Da’s steamed buns and pancakes were almost gone, so he stopped his business and went to help.

Mr. Zhang, who sells wontons next door, has to deal with Mrs. Wang every day. When he heard that his neighbor had died in a daze, he rushed over to confirm whether it was true. In time, Zhao Zhongming, who sells paper horses, also considered it again and again and went to the other side of the street to find
Wang Po had already died, her face had turned pale and her body had turned cold, she had indeed passed away.

Thinking of how she was just having fun, the neighbors all sighed.

Mr. Zhang felt that it was inappropriate to leave the body exposed on the street, so he proposed to carry the body into the house. Yang Chang then went to the inner room with everyone.

Wang Po was weak after the battle and had no time to clean the inner room.

The room was in chaos at this time, which indirectly reflected how crazy things had just happened. The neighbors all shook their heads when they saw this. They all knew why Wang Po died, but they were afraid of offending Ximen Qing, so no one dared to make jokes.

"You all have business to do, so why don't you go back first? Sanlang is serving as an archer in the county, so you can just have him guard outside the gate. Someone will come to the government office soon."

"Da Lang is right."

"Then let's go back first."

Yang Chang followed everyone out the door and sat on a stool at the door waiting for someone. He was so lost in thought that he didn't even hear Wu Da's farewell.

Indirectly killing Wang Po, Yang Chang warned himself that this woman was very bad, and bad people should be sent to see the King of Hell. As the saying goes, eliminating evil is doing good. However, Yang Chang was an ordinary otaku in his previous life, and he had never killed a chicken in his life. It was impossible for him not to panic at this time.

He even worried that once the case was investigated, he might be implicated in the end.

How to do?
If you act like a good person for too long, you will always become cowardly inside.

No, there is only one throbbing pill. Even if Ximen Qing blames me, I can deny it.

Moreover, Wuda had sold thousands of buns in the two days since its opening, and no other diners had any problems with the food, not to mention that he had no motive for committing the crime.
Worry, self-comfort, overthrow, anxiety.
Yang Chang's emotions kept changing, and just when he was struggling with his conscience, Yun Ge led Wu Song and his men to arrive.

"Sanlang, where are the people?"

"Wang Po? She's inside."

"Go and see."

Several yamen runners followed Wu Song in. Yun Ge briefly described what had happened on the way, so the on-site investigation was quickly completed. However, Wu Song found that Wang Po had a wound on her face, so he asked someone to ask a coroner to come for a detailed examination.

Later, when they arrived outside the teahouse, Wu Song ordered the yamen runners to go around and get the witness, while he and Yang Chang went home.

"Sanlang, you were next door this morning, tell me about it too."

"Well, my brother and I helped in the morning."

Yang Chang described what happened briefly, including that he delivered the buns on behalf of Pan Jinlian. Wu Song nodded slightly in thought, then stood there shouting and did not go in.

"Brother, Wu Er is here."

"Ji Lang is here? Come in and have some water."

Wu Da happily welcomed Wu Song into the house, and found that the sister-in-law he had seduced before was not there. Only then did he sit down at the table calmly.

Pan Jinlian guessed that Wu Song would come, so after learning the cause of Wang Po's death, she hid upstairs on the pretext of being tired.

"How is your business, brother?"

"Thanks to you and Sanlang, sales have been good in the first two days of opening. It's much better than before when I was carrying a load on the street. I haven't had time to count it today, but I made nearly a tael yesterday."

"It has nothing to do with Wu Er. It's all because of Saburo's busying around. However."

Wu Song suddenly changed the subject, looked at Yang Chang and said earnestly: "Sanlang is a government official after all, he can't always help his brother. Now there is a murder case next door, you have to go back with me to do the work. If you don't have enough manpower, do less work. Just make enough money to spend."

"I saved myself the trouble."

Wu Dahan smiled and nodded, comforting him: "Brother, you have learned a lot in the past two days. You already know how to sell breakfast. You should be able to sell well without Sanlang's guidance. You know I have never been afraid of hardship since I was young. Now I want to earn more money while I can, so that you can get married in the future."

"Don't worry about me. How can you ever make all the money in the world? You should take good care of yourself. Trim your beard, take a shower, and take good care of yourself."

Wu Song meant this as a kind reminder, but Wu Da just shook his head and said, "For a person like me, it's useless no matter how much I try to dress myself up."

“You have to do it within your ability.”

"Second brother, I think that Yun is smart and honest. Now that eldest brother has gained fame, why not invite him to come to the breakfast shop to help out? This way, he can take over from me and help eldest brother share the burden."

Wu Da would agree to the suggestions given by Yang Chang without any consideration.

Wu Song has other concerns, after all, there is a risk that Pan Jinlian will cheat on him.

Thinking of this, Wu Song glanced at the stairs and suddenly raised his voice, saying, "Sanlang's suggestion is good, but the world is not peaceful now. Brother, you should guard your own door well and don't let the wolf in like the neighbor next door, which not only cost you your life but also tarnished your reputation."

"Erlang, what are you talking about? We are just an ordinary family."

Wu Da's hidden message should be that he is ordinary and common and cannot provoke a weirdo like Ximen Qing, but Wu Song was not talking to him, so he got up and left without retorting.

"Okay, Saburo and I have official business, so I'll leave."

"Would you like to bring some buns? I left them specially for you."

"Next time."

After Wu Song finished speaking, he led Yang Chang out. Wu Da looked at his back and then at the floor, thinking that the palms and backs of the hands are all made of flesh, when will they be able to put aside their past grudges?
By the time we returned to Wang Po Teahouse, the preliminary evidence collection had been completed.

After a preliminary analysis of the evidence, it was clear that Ximen Qing had committed adultery and beat Wang Po to death, and they were just waiting for the magistrate to order the arrest of the person for interrogation.
