Chu Yaoguang's assassination caused quite a stir.

The action plan she had communicated with Mingzhi was temporarily put on hold.

Chu Yaoguang did everything he could, pretending to be scared by the assassin and lying in bed to recuperate.

So, several officials from Maoling City came to greet her automatically.

Tang Qingyun was the first to come.

She asked someone to send a bunch of medicinal herbs and supplements, and greeted Chu Yaoguang.

Chu Yaoguang was moved and burst into tears: "Except for my mother, there is no other person who cares about me as much as Mr. Tang."

Master Ming, who was watching from the sidelines, pinched the back of his hand silently, without making a sound.

Master Tang was also obviously taken aback for a moment, and then smiled tolerantly: "Miss Ming was joking, you have such a good personality, there must be many people who like you."

Chu Yaoguang wiped away the few tears that were finally squeezed out: "Master Tang is overrated."

"Miss Ming was assassinated as soon as she entered the mansion. It was my negligence," Tang Qingyun said earnestly, "I don't know if Miss Ming can remember the assassin's appearance, so we can arrest the assassin and bring him to justice."

Chu Yaoguang shook his head: "That man was dressed in black, and his face was completely covered by a mask. I really can't say anything."

"I only know that her weapon is a long sword, and she is about this tall." Chu Yaoguang said and stretched out his hand to make an approximate height comparison.

Tang Qingyun took it down carefully: "Okay, there is Miss Lao Ming. If there is any progress in the matter, I will definitely notify Miss Ming."

Chu Yaoguang smiled wryly and said, "I just hope you catch the assassin as soon as possible, otherwise I won't be able to sleep peacefully."

Tang Qingyun said a few more words of comfort in a warm voice, and then said: "Later, the Sheriff will come to visit Miss Ming in person, and Miss Ming will just tell the Sheriff about this matter."

Chu Yaoguang responded: "Okay."

Tang Qingyun left.

"She seems really worried and anxious," Chu Yaoguang rubbed his chin and thought, "Could it be that the Maoling City government really did something to me?"

After being assassinated, the first person she suspected was the people inside the magistrate's office in Maoling City.

Only they most want to prevent themselves from checking taxes and the death of the treasurer.

"But your current identity is my daughter. If it's really because of this matter, they should be the first one to assassinate me." Ming Da said humanely.

Chu Yaoguang felt that Master Ming was right.

She lowered her head and thought seriously, suddenly, she remembered something, and her eyes lit up.

Just as she was about to say something, a girl outside reported: "My lord, miss, the county sheriff is here."

Chu Yaoguang closed his mouth and said nothing.

Mingzhi raised his hand: "Please come in, Lord Sheriff."

This is their first meeting with the highest official of Guixia County.

A middle-aged woman in a blue gown came in. She was dressed simply, with a thin figure, and a slight smile on her delicate face. She seemed not easy to get close to.

It is very different from the gentle and friendly Tang Juncheng who is long-sleeved and good at dancing.

Wang Wanyi is the sheriff of Guixia County.

but……

Chu Yaoguang sharply saw the black and blue under the eyes of the sheriff, commonly known as "dark circles", and felt quite embarrassed.

It looks like the sheriff is very busy.

Master Ming's expression turned serious, and he hurried forward to greet her.

After the two exchanged a few words, Wang Wanyi turned her gaze to Chu Yaoguang: "How is Miss Ming?"

"It's nothing serious," Chu Yaoguang pulled out a strong smile, "It's just that I was scared, and I'm worried about Mr. Lao Sheriff."

"I've prepared some supplements, and I'll let the boy cook them for you later," Wang Wanyi said very gently and affectionately, "It's a pity that such a disaster happened at such a young age. Fortunately, nothing happened. Otherwise, how could I tell Master Ming?" Tell me."

These words made her look like she was dying soon.

The titular "mother" Master Ming immediately said: "Fortunately, there is nothing wrong, otherwise it would be like plucking out my heart."

Mingzhi's acting skills were really not good, she could see that she really wanted to shed a few tears, but she couldn't, so she had to beat her chest to express her grief.

Chu Yaoguang was almost laughed at by her clumsy performance, so she had no choice but to turn her head away, not to look at Mingzhi, but only to look at the county sheriff: "It's okay, county sheriff, if you arrest the murderer, it's the worst thing for my mother and me." comforted."

"Good girl." Wang Wanyi said.

Then Wang Wanyi asked about the murderer's appearance, and Chu Yaoguang answered Tang Qingyun's answer again.

After condolences to Chu Yaoguang, Wang Wanyi was about to leave, but was stopped by Master Ming.

"Master Wang, if you are free, can you go to the flower hall with me?" Mingzhi said seriously, "I have something to ask you about the treasurer."

Wang Wanyi subconsciously glanced back at Master Ming's "daughter" who had just been assassinated and was still lying in bed, and then glanced back at Master Ming who wanted to deal with business. After a moment of silence, she nodded and said, "Okay, I will follow Master Yushi." go."

Chu Yaoguang was sensitive to Wang Wanyi's emotional changes, but she couldn't stop Mingzhi.

I could only scream in pain.

The mother-daughter relationship played by Master Ming is too plastic!

The county sheriff was shocked!

After chatting with Wang Wanyi, Mingzhi sent her out of the house and returned to Chu Yaoguang's room.

She seriously discussed with Chu Yaoguang the news that she just received in the flower hall: "Master Wang said that the treasurer's death was judged to be sudden death. She said that the treasurer was very diligent and conscientious in his work, and it was not surprising that he died suddenly due to fatigue. And Qi Siku's body has already been buried."

"I asked if there were any specific files, Mr. Wang said that it was in the treasury, and she would send someone over when she found it." Mingzhi said.

She seemed to be confused by the business, and she couldn't remember anything else.

Of course, Chu Yaoguang appreciates such a career approval.

She also asked seriously: "Then what do you think of the county sheriff? Is it possible to do something about taxes?"

"It seems to be quite sincere, and I can't comment on the rest." Mingzhi shook his head.

"If the head of a county embezzles taxes, it will be difficult to investigate." Chu Yaoguang said.

"By the way, Your Highness." Mingzhi suddenly turned serious.

Chu Yaoguang said, "What's wrong?"

Mingzhi showed hesitation: "It's really dangerous for you to stay here. Although this time you were lucky and didn't suffer any injuries, if there is a next time, you may not have this kind of luck."

"Would you like...to leave Maoling City first, I am here for this matter, and I will send someone to deliver a letter to you if there is anything important."

Chu Yaoguang smiled and said, "Is it true that you are worried about me now? If you can perform it for the county sheriff, it won't make people think that we are a plastic mother-daughter relationship."

Mingzhi frowned: "Your Highness, I'm talking about something serious, you should think about it carefully."

Chu Yaoguang waved his hand: "If you really leave, it will satisfy some people's hearts."

When Mingzhi heard the words, his expression changed.

She smiled slightly: "I was going to talk about this before the Lord Sheriff came."
