Chapter 14

After the banquet, the high-ranking officials and wealthy families all left the venue one after another and took a boat home.

Ji Linlang and they stayed until the end, and they wanted to go to meet with the county order.

Ji Linlang and the others were gone, and immediately asked seriously, "What did you say?" ”

Situ Jingyuan turned his head back to her: "The man in yellow is reselling jewelry to the man in black." ”

The man in yellow is Li Goudan.

"Have you heard where the yellow clothes came from?" Liu Yiyi asked.

"He said that he had a cousin who was a merchant on the coast and sold it to him." Situ Jingyuan frowned and looked at Ji Linlang, "You haven't told me what you found?" ”

"Do you remember that the first name in that murder book was Yang Chaogui?" Ji Linlang tilted his head and raised his eyebrows and asked him, "A few days ago, when I went to the street with Yiyi to inquire. I heard that his son Zeng forcibly robbed Li Goudan, that is, the yellow-clothed, raccoon slave, and finally tortured the raccoon slave to death. ”

"There is such a thing." Situ Jingyuan's brows tightened more and more, "Why doesn't the county order care?" ”

"Then I'll ask the dog officer." Liu Yiyi cut off, "The officials and the rich protect each other." ”

"Then how do you guess that this must have something to do with Li Goudan?" Situ Jingyuan lowered his eyelids, and his fingers kept rubbing the edge of the teacup.

"Because, he doesn't have so much capital to open a bank. According to the people in his village, he also relied on the compensation of the rich boy to develop the cloth workshop. To make a big village, you need a lot of silver. Xie Miao explained.

"In short, something is wrong with him." Ji Linlang nodded emphatically.

The county magistrate followed by a group of officials who walked up, "Juniors, is there a clue?" ”

People dare to come up when they leave. Ji Linlang really spit on him more and more.

"There's a little bit of an eyebrow." Xie Miao replied to him.

"Oh? True? Can you tell me about it? The county magistrate immediately asked eagerly.

"Back to adults, it's just a little speculation by juniors. I don't dare to say it now, for fear that the bamboo basket will be empty and waste the energy of adults. Liu Yiyi replied to him respectfully, in fact, she didn't want him to come to do too much, and let him be anxious for a few more days, hey, rush him to death.

"My lord, didn't it be recorded in that book that a servant was lucky to survive, but did you interrogate it well, what did you come up with?" Ji Linlang's eyes flickered.

"The man was not at the scene that day, he went home to visit his relatives, and the interrogation did not ask anything." The prefectural order replied.

"Your Excellency, can you pass him on again tomorrow?" Liu Yiyi said.

The county order heard that it was good.

After the rendezvous, we also took a small boat back home.

"Brother Situ, aren't you leaving?" Ji Linlang noticed it and turned around to ask him.

"Your Excellency invites you to stay in the Yafu." Situ Jingyuan replied indifferently.

Speechless, the county ordered this death-fearing ghost. I definitely just want a free bodyguard, right? Ji Linlang couldn't say anything, and stepped on the boat, "Brother Situ, see you tomorrow." ”

"Hmm." Situ Jingyuan nodded.

Ji Linlang looked at his arrogant and cold figure, and couldn't help but sigh: It's really a kaolin flower, it's so difficult to tease.

"Did you make a mistake about the mission objectives?" Ji Linlang was a thief with an immortal heart and stretched out his tentative foot and asked.

【…… No, come on. 】

"But people are bent on protecting their families and defending the country, will it be immoral for me to forcibly deal with others?" Ji Linlang sighed.

[asked you to fall in love with him, but didn't stop him from defending his family and country. Besides, shouldn't life be nourished by more sweet love? 】

"Huh~nourish." Ji Linlang looked disdainful.

[Please, if you want to be serious, hey.] The system gave her a blank look.

"Cut, people are super serious!"

……

Early in the morning of the second day, the Yafu.

"Hurry up, hurry up, let's go." Ji Linlang pulled Liu Yiyi and rushed to the house.

"What are you doing? Just one night, you are so anxious to see Brother Situ? Liu Yiyi was dragged by her and teased.

Ji Linlang was so frightened that she hurriedly reached out to cover her mouth, "Don't talk nonsense......"

"Hmm......" I can't talk nonsense. Liu Yiyi didn't want to be forced to be a dumb person, so she nodded in compromise.

Ji Linlang let go and began to justify: "I want to know the clues quickly, who am I for!" ”

"Okay, you're right, I believe it." Liu Yiyi hugged her flatteringly.

"Hmph." Ji Linlang led her in, and Xie Miao followed behind and paced slowly. This time, he didn't need a pawn to lead the way, Ji Linlang walked to Shuntian Mansion with a familiar car.

The servant sat in his seat with a nervous face, and said to Situ Jingyuan next to him: "This lord, why did you recruit a small one today?" The little ones are good people, and they haven't done anything! ”

"You don't have to be nervous, just ask, and you can go back when you're done." Situ Jingyuan held the sword indifferently.

Ji Linlang walked in and raised a smile, "Morning, Brother Situ." ”

"Early." Situ Jingyuan turned his head to look at her and nodded.

Liu Yiyi Xie Miao then came in and nodded slightly at Situ Jingyuan.

"You are the servant of the Yang Mansion who survived by luck? What's your name? Liu Yiyi looked at the servant, sat on the chair opposite the servant, and raised her chin at him.

"The small one, the small one is called Ma Wu." Ma Wu replied.

"Which son of the Yang family is the most favored in the house?" Xie Miao asked him.

"It's the master of my family, the youngest son of the Yang Mansion." Ma Wu said tremblingly.

"Then your master is the little bastard who robs people and slaves on the street, right?" Liu Yiyi looked disdainful.

"This ......" Ma Wu hesitated for a moment, but still nodded, "It's my master." ”

"Your master is really the youngest, but he has the most vicious heart." Liu Yiyi's unkind evaluation.

"My master, he...... Truly outrageous. But he also made an indemnity to the man. Ma Wu blurted out, and then thought about it and lowered his head fiercely. But the kid didn't ask for the money later......"

"Didn't ask for that money?" Ji Linlang looked at Liu Yiyi in astonishment. "Tell me everything you know."

"After the little one finished feeding the horses, he thought about entering through the back door of the house, and happened to see the boy throwing all the money to the beggars on the street with a dejected face." Ma Wu gave everything he saw.

"Have you read carefully? Are you sure he threw all his money away to the beggars? Liu Yiyi asked sharply.

"Small certainty." Ma Wu nodded firmly.

Situ Jingyuan said indifferently: "In this way, Li Goudan can't even get the funds to open the workshop." "Talking about the cloth village.

"Ladies and gentlemen, the little ones really have said everything they can say, can you let the little ones go home?" Ma Wu rubbed his hands nervously.

"Alright, let's go." Liu Yiyi bowed towards the door.

"Gotcha." Ma Wu immediately slipped out of the house.

"Tanuki slaves, people are dead, money is empty......" Ji Linlang said in a broken mouth, thoughtful.

Suddenly, she had a flash of inspiration and hammered her palm hard, but in pain, she quickly blew her palm gently, and raised her hand obediently and said, "I have a conjecture here!" Did you know that there is a kind of monster called a cat and a ghost? ”

"I don't know." Liu Yiyi and Xie Miao shook their heads tacitly and looked at her with a confused expression.

"You, you, Brother Xie doesn't know, forget it, why don't you know?" Ji Linlang hated that iron was not steel, and poked Liu Yiyi's forehead.

Ji Linlang turned to look at Situ Jingyuan again, his eyes were shining: "Brother Situ has ever heard of it?" ”

"I've heard of it. You are guessing that the tanuki slave of Li Goudan was too angry after his death and became a cat ghost demon. Situ Jingyuan raised his eyebrows and said firmly.

"Correct." Ji Linlang happily stretched out his hand to high-five him.

Situ Jingyuan just glanced at it, "What does this mean?" ”

“…… Uh, it's fine. Ji Linlang was slightly embarrassed and wanted to withdraw his palm.

Liu Yiyi still knows this, and those who are cheering also stretched out their palms to touch Ji Linlang. "High five! High five! I'll give you a high-five! ”

Ji Linlang immediately smiled, as if there was a star hidden in his eyes: "Mm-hmm." ”

"What do cats and ghosts do?" Liu Yiyi asked puzzled.

"Didn't your father teach you how to recognize demons? You haven't seen any records related to yokai either? Ji Linlang looked at her suspiciously.

"My father taught me these things, and he only taught me the art of talismans. Besides, what is the use of Master Fu knowing this? Liu Yiyi disagreed.

“…… The Fu Master doesn't know how to catch demons like this? Ji Linlang was very puzzled.

"Huh? I only came out this year to experience it. My dad told me that as long as you encounter a monster, you can use whatever talisman you have. Liu Yiyi replied seriously.

“…… Your daddy's heart is so big. You know, talismans can also be used skillfully. For example, when encountering fire beasts, they usually appear in groups, but they are afraid of water, and they will die when they encounter water, so you don't waste thousands of pounds of charms, fixation charms, which are more difficult to make, and directly throw a water diversion charm, as long as there is water to be attracted, they will all die. Ji Linlang taught her.

"Wow, that sounds more exciting." Liu Yiyi looked adoring.

Ji Linlang sighed, "I'll slowly teach you something I remember in the future." ”

"Okay." Liu Yiyi nodded desperately.
