The county magistrate sneakily glanced at Jing Rong and saw him gently covering the teacup with the teacup's lid. The strength on his wrist was neither light nor heavy and his expression was steady and calm. It was hard to tell if he was unhappy or not.
After trembling twice, the county magistrate quickly explained, "Prince Rong, Mr. Ji has had a lot of work to do these past few days and is a bit tired. Yesterday, I also promised her that she would rest for a day. How about …"
Jing Rong interrupted him.
"Why not This King come back tomorrow?"
Other people didn't feel anything was wrong with his words, but the county magistrate heard the "problem" in it and shuddered. He knelt down and bowed once again.
"This official definitely doesn't have that intention!"
"Why do stately father and mother officials always have the habit of making people kneel? Great Lin Rules, is there such a rule? " Jing Rong frowned.
Lang Bo interrupted, "Your highness, no."
The county magistrate's face was stiff and pale.
He is a dignified county magistrate, but you are always the superior Buddha!
"Get up, don't break your legs."
"Thank you …" "Thank you, Prince Rong."
Liu Qingping stood up in a daze and bowed his head, not daring to look her in the eye.
Liu Tie narrowed his eyes, his thin lips curled up with an intimidating aura. He said, "Master Liu, since that Mr. Ji belongs to the yamen, then I will naturally seek for the welfare of the commoners. Sorry?"
The county magistrate honestly nodded. "Yes."
"Yesterday, the people under this king died miserably in this Jinjiang City. Logically speaking, the yamen would have to find out the truth for this king, right?"
"Right."
"Then, This King will look for her to help you solve this murder case for This King. Should I?"
"That's right!"
Jing Rong was very satisfied, "Alright, I'll give you the time for a cup of tea to personally bring her over."
A cup of tea?
This was clearly a difficult situation!
The county magistrate didn't dare disobey. He anxiously moved back a bit. "Yes, yes, yes. This official will go right away."
With that, he grabbed his official's uniform and ran off.
Jing Rong, who was behind him, had a cold expression and became suspicious.
Lang Bo touched his lower jaw and pondered, "Your Royal Highness, according to Master Liu's meaning, that Mr. Ji can even draw those bone remains, maybe..." She can help with all the cases she's investigated over the years. "
Jing Rong didn't feel like it. His long and narrow eyes were filled with a strange meaning. After a long time, he asked, "Counting the date, how long have we been away from the capital?"
"More than half a year."
"How many counties?"
"More than a hundred."
Jing Rong replied with an "En." Following the smile in his eyes, he lifted the cup lid on his fingers once again.
"..."
When they arrived at the back door of the west side of ji mansion, the county magistrate raised his hand and knocked on it with a "dong dong dong". Luan Er hurriedly opened the door.
"Quick, quick, quick. Call Yun Shu to follow me to the yamen. This is a big matter, a huge matter."
"Didn't you already say that you're not going to work today?"
Liu Qingping slapped his thigh and let out an "Aiya!" His forehead was covered in sweat from anxiety. He pushed open the half-open door and strode in.
When they were outside the house, they shouted towards the inside, "Yun Shu, I beg of you, please go to the yamen. If you don't go, I won't be able to keep my black veil hat! Have pity on me, go ahead! "
This was the first time an official begged a citizen to listen to something like this!
Inside the house, Ji Yunshu had already woken up. When she heard the county magistrate's voice, she leisurely changed into men's clothes and held her Sandalwood Box in her arms.
From his posture, could it be that he wanted to rush to the yamen?
After tossing a sweet lotus seed in her mouth, Ji Yunshu came out to see the county magistrate flustered and flustered. He almost knelt down in front of her.
"Lord, what are you doing?"
Without waiting for an explanation, Liu Qingping stepped forward and grabbed Ji Yunshu.
"Hurry up and follow me. Someone is looking for you at the yamen. You have to go, big shot!"
Ji Yunshu hurriedly pulled a few steps back before forcefully pulling her wrist back. She frowned, "Master, what are you doing? Didn't I tell the bailiff that I'm not going to work today? "
The county magistrate was puzzled as he sized her up. Men's clothing, Sandalwood Box, if she wasn't working, then what was she acting like?
"Don't you want to follow me to the yamen?"
Ji Yunshu shook her head. "No."
"Then where are you going?"
"Zhou Family."
The county magistrate was unclear, "Why are you going to Zhou Family? "Miss Zhou has just died and is currently being buried today. Quickly follow me back to the yamen."
"Then, are we not going to investigate Miss Zhou's murder case?" Ji Yunshu asked indifferently.
What? Miss Zhou's murder case?
The county magistrate's eyes widened. His spine seemed to have been scratched by someone as he trembled and asked, "Didn't she fall down by herself and smash herself to death on a fake mountain?"
Ji Yunshu rolled her eyes at him, "When work happens in the past, I would hand over a portion of the case file to you. Do you want me to hand over the work of Zhou Family?"
"Nope."
"Then when did I say Miss Zhou died by herself?"
The county magistrate thought for a moment before shaking his head. "No."
Strange, if I didn't smash myself to death, could I have been killed?
