Chapter 310 Bribery
Constable Guan lowered his head and looked at the dying Yu Shaowu. At this point, Yu Shaowu was already dead for sure. Even if Constable Guan wanted to save him, it was too late. Yu Shaowu soon stopped breathing.

At this time, the courtyard door was pushed open again, and the few constables who had left before came in. They did not actually leave, but had been guarding outside the door. Although they had heard the noise a long time ago, they just thought it was Yu Shaowu attacking the man surnamed Guan.

They didn't care. As soon as the sound from inside stopped, they pushed the door open and walked in. After all, he was a colleague. Even if he was beaten to death, as his colleagues, they should at least bring his body back.

But after seeing the scene in front of him, he was so scared that he drew his sword and asked, "What's going on? Why are they all dead?"
The Zhentian Gang was quite powerful. Now the third in command of the Zhentian Gang was dead, and he died in front of them. If the big boss of the Zhentian Gang came to cause trouble, it was possible that Captain Shen would push them out as scapegoats.

At this time, someone said, "Yu Shaowu was murdered by these two people, arrest them."

Zhou Chen did not resist, and Constable Guan wanted to say something, but he didn't say it and allowed the men to take him down.

He had been here for three months and was not unaware of the situation in the government office. The bigwigs in the county government had close contacts with the hooligans in the city, and he had long known about some of the things that went on behind the scenes.

In this situation, even if they knew that he did not kill the man, several people would still forcibly pin the crime on him.

After the two were pushed away, Leng Yiyao appeared on the roof in black, looking at the people leaving with murderous intent in her eyes.

At this time, the county magistrate was resting in the room. He was suddenly awakened by a knock on the door. The county magistrate yelled impatiently towards the door.

"What are you doing?"
The knocking sound outside the door suddenly stopped. After about a minute, the voice of the constable was heard outside the door, "Sir, something bad has happened."

The county magistrate, who was planning to rest with his wife, sat up impatiently when he heard these words and asked, "What happened?"
"Sir, the third in command of the Zhentian Gang was killed."

The county magistrate, who had been nonchalant, was stunned when he heard this, as if he didn't hear it clearly. He ran to the door without even putting on his shoes and opened it, "What did you say?"
"Sir, the third in command of the Zhentian Gang was killed."

After confirming that he had heard correctly, the county magistrate was so frightened that he took a few steps back and almost fell to the ground. Fortunately, the constable who came to report was quick to support him and asked, "Sir, are you okay?"
The county magistrate pushed him away and asked, "Who killed Yu Shaowu? Have you found the murderer?"
The constable took a few steps forward again and whispered something in his ear.

"What doubt? It must be him who did it."

At this time, inside the county jail, Constable Guan and Zhou Chen were locked in the same cell. Constable Guan said to his brother who was guarding him, "Brother, I want to see the county magistrate. Please report to him."

"What are you thinking about? Do you want to see the county magistrate?" After saying that, he ignored him and Zhou Chen came in and sat directly in the corner.

Seeing Constable Guan walking around in the cell, Zhou Chen asked, "Sir, how do you think the higher-ups will deal with us?"
"I don't know, but I don't think it will be a big deal. They will let us out after a few days when everything is clear."

At this moment a voice came over, "Don't even think about getting out." Upon hearing this voice, Constable Guan's face lit up with joy, and he quickly looked outside, "Master Shen."

The person who came was Shen Li, the chief constable of Yuxi City. "Sir Shen, what did you mean by what you said just now?"
"It means exactly what it says. The third in command of the Zhentian Gang is dead, so naturally someone has to step up and take the blame."

"What, you mean I should take the blame for this?"
Seeing Shen Li nod, Constable Guan said excitedly, "Sir, I didn't kill them. Besides, they broke into people's homes in the middle of the night with weapons in their hands. If I caught them, even if I really killed them, they deserved it."

Shen Li shook his head and said, "That's true, but actual action is a different matter."

Then he sighed and said, "Don't say I didn't give you a chance, how about this, fifty taels, fifty taels, I'll settle this matter for you." Zhou Chen smiled when he heard this, but Constable Guan was shocked, "What did you say, sir?"
"Wasn't what I said clear enough?"
Constable Guan took two steps back. His annual salary as a constable was only five taels of silver, but this guy asked for fifty taels. Even if he had the money, he wouldn't give it to him, let alone the money he didn't have.

Shen Li also saw it, and then shook his head and said, "Okay, in that case, you just stay in there. By the way, as your former boss, there is one thing I want to remind you, you killed the third in command, the Zhentian Gang will definitely not let it go", and then he prepared to leave.

At this time Zhou Chen called out to Shen Li, "Sir, wait a minute."

Shen Li asked impatiently, "What's the matter?"
Zhou Chen gave a flattering smile, then took out a piece of silver from his pocket and stuffed it into his pocket.

Shen Li took it in his hand and weighed it, it was about three taels, "Hmph, you know some rules, tell me what's the matter?"
"Sir, since this lord is unwilling to go out, please see if I can help you. Don't worry, I won't let you work in vain. I will give you one hundred taels."

When Shen Li heard the number one hundred taels, his eyes lit up, "Do you have that much silver?"
Constable Guan glared at Zhou Chen with cold eyes.

Zhou Chen smiled and said, "Don't worry, sir, I definitely have the money, otherwise those heroes wouldn't have targeted me."

"Well, what you said makes sense," he said, stretching out his right hand, "In that case, take the silver."

Seeing him stretching out his hand, Zhou Chen smiled and said, "Your Excellency, you are joking. Who would be so idle as to carry so much silver on him? But don't worry, as long as you let me go, I will go home and get the silver for you immediately."

Shen Li thought about it and felt that this guy would not have the courage to lie to him. Just when he was deciding whether to release Zhou Chen, a constable came to the prison.

"Sir, something bad has happened. The county magistrate asked you to come over quickly."

"Okay, I got it," he then looked at Zhou Chen and said, "We'll talk about this when I get back," and then he left the prison.

After Shen Li left, Zhou Chen turned around. As soon as he turned around, he saw Constable Guan's unfriendly expression. Zhou Chen rubbed his head and said with a smile, "Sir, why are you looking at me like that? I feel embarrassed."

"Hmph, I didn't expect you to be such a person. I shouldn't have helped you if I had known."

"Sir, please don't say that. I'm just trying to save my life. Besides, it's not my fault. If anyone needs to be blamed, it's only the evil guys from the Zhentian Gang."

Hearing him say this, Constable Guan's eyes were no longer cold. He sighed and stopped talking, then found a corner and sat down alone.

Zhou Chen also returned to his corner. After sitting down, he noticed something strange on the roof, and then a smile appeared on the corner of his mouth.

On the roof, Leng Yiyao looked at the patrolling constable below. Just as he was about to take action, Yue came up to him and said, "Madam, the master has something for me to tell you."

Leng Yiyao, who was about to take action, was stunned, "What?"
"The owner told you not to do anything yet, he will stay in there for a few days."
