Seeing Shen Qingxu's serious face, the tall man continued, "In order to convince the county magistrate that Baishui County is haunted, they even hired people to dress up as ghosts to scare the county magistrate at night, making him unable to sleep peacefully. The poor county magistrate is only in his thirties, but he looks like he's in his fifties or sixties!"

"What a bunch of bastards!" The man in the car cursed. He had no choice but to pretend to be crazy in order to save his life. He didn't expect that it was because of this that the place where he had lived since he was a child became a ghost town.

"My Lord, you have to make the decision for us!"

After listening to the man's words, Shen Qingxu fell into deep thought.

I didn't expect that all this was done by evil businessmen for profit, but the population of Baishui County is not that large, so it's not justifiable for them to go to such great lengths...

In addition, it turned out that the dark-skinned man was only in his thirties.

this......

It is true that you cannot judge a book by its cover, and you cannot judge the depth of the sea by its depth!

Mu Yunzhou and Xu Xingyi also came to the backyard at this time, and Shen Qingxu told them what happened.

Although what the tall man said was sincere, it doesn't mean that what he said was completely true.

Could this be a trick performed by someone in the dark or some dark place?

"My Lady Princess, I can go back to the capital with you, and I can also sign the confession. You must believe what I say!" The tall man became extremely anxious when he saw that the others were unmoved.

Although he is not a good person, this is a matter of life and death after all. What's more, the girl in front of him is the younger sister of the current Queen, Princess Ningde, who was personally conferred by the Emperor!

Even if he had ten times the courage, he would not dare to lie!

"Did I say I don't believe you?"

The tall man said nothing, but his expression said it all.

The look of disbelief on Shen Qingxu's face just now left a deep impression on him.

"In that case, let's go talk to the rice merchant Wande first."

Shen Qingxu gave a wink to the secret guards in the dark, and someone came out and tied up the tall man and kept him under guard. One reason was to prevent him from escaping, and the other was to prevent the person behind the scenes from killing him.

A figure quietly left in a place where Shen Qingxu and others could not see.

......

Shen Qingxu and others followed the tall man's instructions and came to the largest local rice merchant, Wan's Rice Shop.

But when they went in, they found no one inside.

The tea on the table indicated that this person had just escaped.

As for why Shen Qingxu concluded that Wande had escaped, she had to ask Lin Tiao, who stayed at the scene and did not have time to run back.

"Ms. Lin Tiao, can you tell us why you are here?" Although Shen Qingxu had a smile on her face, the smile did not reach her eyes.

Lin Tiao laughed awkwardly twice and moved outside in small steps: "I felt very bored in the inn, so I came out for a walk. I don't know anything!"

Seeing her guilty look, Shen Qingxu knew that Wande’s escape was related to Lin Tiao!

"I want to kill Lin Tiao now." Mu Yunzhou's eyes were bloodshot. He had finally got some clues, but they were destroyed!

Shen Qingxu and Xu Xingyi were silent.

Although she was afraid of killing people, her sister said that some people really deserved to die!

"I want to kill her, too."

The one who spoke this time was Xu Xingyi.

His hand was already clenched around the hilt of his sword.

"To be honest, I want to too." Shen Qingxu also said.

Lin Tiao's letting Wande run away has completely aroused the anger of the team.

Looking at the three people who were eyeing her life, Lin Tiao immediately took out her ancestral handkerchief and started crying softly again.

"I just felt sorry for Boss Wan, so I came to inform him. He just wanted to make some money, what's wrong with that! You should send him to jail!"

"You rich young men and women don't understand the suffering of the common people at all!"

"If Boss Wan goes to jail, what will happen to his family? The old, weak, women and children will starve to death without a source of money!"

Shen Qingxu sneered when he heard this.

What a specious argument.

Ordinary people really can't argue with her!

"The lives of Wan De and his family are lives, but the lives of ordinary people lying outside waiting to die are not lives?"

"Those who were killed by Wan De, their lives are not lives?"

"Which of those people that Wan De killed didn't have a family, a wife, children, or elders? Did Wan De ever think about what would happen to their families after he killed them?"

"You may be seriously ill. You have given all your false virginity to the bad guys!"

"Threatening an imperial official, haha, is also a capital crime!" Mu Yunzhou added.

Lin Tiao was speechless after hearing what Shen Qingxu and Mu Yunzhou said. She could only lower her head and cry silently.

She just doesn't want to break a family apart, what's wrong with her!

Sure enough, what the princess said was right. The people of Daliang were all evil. The boss of the Wan family had helped her before. Although he wanted her to reveal the princess's whereabouts to him, she made up a random excuse to lie...

She felt guilty and decided to just take this as a way of repaying a previous favor.

This group of people have no kindness, they are all evil!

She felt disgusted and ashamed of them!

“Okay, it’s useless to kill her now, Wander has already run away.

The tea is still hot, so he must have just left. I have already asked the secret guards to chase him, and I believe they will be able to catch him back soon."

"However, Wande's escape directly confirms that he is the instigator. We can interrogate him once we catch him back." Lin Shuyao held Shen Qingxu's hand and patted it soothingly.

It's not worth getting angry over such a person.

After Wande's problem was resolved, they left Lin Tiao in Baishui County and set off alone.

So as to avoid getting upset when seeing Lin Tiao’s face.

"Okay, let's go find Wuqimahei first. After all, he is the county magistrate here, and the interrogation should be left to him." Shen Qingxu gave Lin Tiao a cold look. She was really annoyed by seeing Lin Tiao now. She wondered if Xu Xingyi had found out anything!

This person's brain seems to be structured differently from theirs, and he does everything the opposite of what they do!

I really was born to be in conflict with them!

......

County Office

He sat in the hall in complete darkness, sighing and covering his forehead.

He will not be at peace until the evil ghost in Baishui County is eliminated.

But he had tried all the methods he could, but the ghost was just like a dog-skin plaster and refused to leave Baishui County!

It’s really a headache.

"Mr. County Magistrate, we have caught the ghost for you."

Shen Qingxu carried Wande in one hand and the crazy woman in the other, and swaggered into the lobby of the county government.

It was already a headache because of the pitch black darkness, and it became even more of a headache after I saw who Shen Qingxu caught!

"My Lord, County Magistrate, I am innocent..."

"Shichang, sir, the county magistrate, this girl arrested me without any explanation, I am really wronged..."

Wuqimahei saw the two of them looking so helpless and pitiful, and also saw Shen Qingxu's face full of anger...

He still walked down pretendingly and said in a sarcastic tone: "Girl, you can't do this. He is the largest rice merchant in our Baishui County! The whole Baishui County depends on his rice for their livelihood! If we catch him by mistake, the people in Baishui County will die!" Wuqimahei got up from the chair anxiously and carefully rescued Wande's collar from Shen Qingxu's hands.

The look on his face seemed to be saying that this was the lifeline of the entire Baishui County, it was very important!

As for the other people in the county government, let alone grabbing the collar like Shen Qingxu did, they didn't even dare to speak loudly to him.

They were afraid that if he was unhappy, he would not sell them food!

"Mr. County Magistrate, this is the devil of Baishui County! He is the one who is controlling everything behind the scenes, and his purpose is to drive up the price of grain!"

"This is the witness. You will be the one to interrogate the rest."

"But I have to tell you one thing. The trial must be fair and just. If you give a lighter sentence just because he is a rice merchant, I will not let you go."

As Shen Qingxu was speaking, Xu Xingyi took out Shen Qingxu's royal jade token in black.

With just one glance, the pitch-black eyes instantly lit up!

It's Princess Ningde! This is a sure thing...
