Chapter 849: A Gesture of Effort

"My father sent a maid to serve me early in the morning, but I threw him off."

"I didn't expect to be targeted by thieves. Fortunately, I met Lord Qin and caught the thief for me. I am grateful, and I have come to thank Lord Qin."

Qin Fan smiled modestly and said, "It's just a gesture, why worry about it?"

"Besides, these thieves are extremely vicious, and it is a disaster to keep them, so it is better to bring them to justice as soon as possible and avoid the hidden dangers of my Wannian County."

Mu Yutong exclaimed, "Lord Qin is really a benevolent and righteous person. I admire Mu Yutong."

Qin Fan waved his hand and said, "Miss Mu Miao praised. Where am I worthy of the word righteousness?"

"However, it is the duty of every official to eliminate harm for the people and uphold justice, and since I am in a high position, how can I turn a blind eye?"

"Miss Mu rest assured, if Brother Ling is wronged, I will definitely go to the capital in person to overturn the case for Brother Ling."

Mu Yutong said happily, "Thank you, Lord Qin, Lord Qin is open-minded, which makes me admire."

"Don't hide it, sir, in fact, I came to find the murderer today."

Qin Fan asked in surprise, "Your Majesty asked you to come?"

"Yes, it was His Majesty who asked me to come to Wannian County."

Qin Fan frowned and asked, "Your Majesty sent Miss Mu to Wannian County to investigate the murderer, is there any evidence?"

Mu Yutong shook his head and said, "No, that's why I need Lord Qin's help."

"After all, this is a long way from the capital, and I can't speak alone."

"If you have your help, I will be able to do more with less."

"Not only can I find those murderers, but I can also clear my name for Brother Ling."

When Qin Fan heard this, he secretly thought in his heart, so it was.

Mu Yutong continued: "It's been seven or eight days since I came to Wannian County, and there has been no progress, and I am worried that I will have many dreams at night, so I took the liberty to come to visit my lord."

"If you have time, please come with me, I promise you will return with honor."

Qin Fan secretly sneered in his heart and thought, "I want to go with you, but I'm afraid that as soon as I leave, someone will kill me."

So, he politely refused, "I'm sorry, Miss Mu. I've had some tough cases here lately, and I'm afraid I won't be able to get out of the way."

"Besides, I still have to go to the county school to teach, and I can't do anything about it."

"I wonder if Miss Mu can tell me who did such a wicked thing? If the truth is found out, I, Qin Fan, will not be soft. The murderers should be severely punished. Walk for heaven."

Mu Yutong complained and said, "My lord, you don't want to help me, do you?"

Qin Fan shook his head and smiled bitterly, "I'm not shirking, I really can't pull away."

Mu Yutong was silent for a moment, gritted his teeth and said, "That's it. Since the adults won't help, I'll find someone else to help me. Lord Qin, you rest first, and I'll go first."

"Miss Mu walks slowly."

Saying that, Qin Fan stretched out his hand to open the curtain and shouted to the sedan chair man, "Drive."

The sedan chair driver whipped up, and the carriage set off slowly.

Qin Fan took back the sedan curtain, sat in the sedan chair and closed his eyes and pretended to sleep.

In the car, Mu Yutong clenched his fists tightly, extremely angry.

For the past few days, she has been trying to track down the killer, but no progress has been made.

Last night, she almost lost her life.

Before coming to Wannian County today, she expected that Qin Fan would refuse.

But Mu Yutong never thought that Qin Fan would refuse so neatly.

Qin Fan's refusal was like a slap on her cheek.

A pretty face turned pale in an instant.

The sedan chair slowly drove into the county seat of Wannian and soon came to the gate of the county office.

After Qin Fan got off the sedan chair, Mu Yutong walked out of the sedan chair with a light lotus step.

At this time, the sedan chair driver closed the sedan curtain again, and then pulled the carriage and slowly left.

"My lord, where are we going?" The palanquin man asked.

Qin Fan groaned, "Let's go to the inn near the county office."

The palanquin man replied, "Yes."

The sedan driver drove the carriage out of the county government gate and galloped along the street to the inn.

At this time, Mu Yutong suddenly pointed to the sedan chair man and said, "You stop first. I want to buy something."

"Miss Mu, it's too noisy here, if you have any orders, just tell the villain, and the villain will do it for you."

Mu Yutong shook his head and said seriously, "This is a secret mission."

"I just need a quiet environment, you don't have to worry about it, you just do what I say.

The sedan chair man didn't dare to disobey Mu Yutong, so he had to agree: "Miss Namu, please wait a while, I'll come when I go."

After the palanquin man finished speaking, he walked straight to the alley on the side.

Seeing this scene, Qin Fan couldn't help but raise his eyebrows slightly, and secretly guessed, "What kind of medicine is sold in this Mu Yutong gourd?"

Qin Fan didn't think much about it, and walked into the inn and found a secluded room to rest temporarily.

Mu Yutong stood at the door of the sedan chair, his expression gloomy, and he was silent for a long time.

After thinking about it for a while, she still decided that she couldn't stay in Wannian County for too long.

Because she was afraid of delaying her brother's grievances.

"What should I do? How do you find the murderer?"

Mu Yutong lowered his head and thought, his head aching.

At this moment, a handsome boy wearing a red robe and a jade belt around his waist walked in, and was about to greet the shopkeeper to serve the food, but when he saw Mu Yutong's back, he couldn't help but be stunned.

This handsome boy is naturally the son of Li in Mu Yutong's mouth.

As soon as Li Gongzi came in, he couldn't wait to meet him, and said softly, "Yutong, how could it be you? Hehe, it's been a long time."

Mu Yutong turned around, and after seeing Li Gongzi, he was very surprised, and hurriedly greeted, "Li Gongzi, what a coincidence, why are you in Wannian County?"

Li Gongzi smiled: "I heard that there is a treasure mountain here, so I came over to take a look, are you here to find the murderer?"

Mu Yutong shook his head and said, "No, I'm here to handle the case."

After a pause, Mu Yutong said again, "By the way, I just met a person named Qin Fan, who is the county of Wannian."

"But when I came to him for help, he refused, what a coward, and it was disappointing that I had revered him so much."

Li Gongzi smiled and said, "Qin Fan is a county prince of Wannian County? Hehe, that's not a coincidence, I'm also here to find the murderer who killed Mu Fei."

"Qin Fan and I both want to solve this unjust case. I wonder when Miss Mu plans to leave? I can escort you there at any time."

Mu Yutong shook his head and said, "I plan to leave for Jinling City tomorrow. If you will, go with you."

"Okay. I'm also going to leave for Jinling tomorrow." Li Gongzi smiled happily.

After chatting a few words, the two went back to their houses to rest.

The next day, Qin Fan had breakfast and rode a horse to Wannian County.

He was dressed in white, with a tall figure, a heroic face, and a faint majesty all over his body.

Although Qin Fan was only a six-grade sesame official, the people in Wannian County all avoided him when they saw him, for fear of conflict with him.
