Lu'er was standing beside them, wanting to laugh but not daring to, and felt very uncomfortable holding it in.

Chef Liu brought out the dishes one by one and placed them on the table. Rong Xi felt that it was a bit unfair for him to eat them.

So he kindly gave out a portion and asked the servant to deliver it to Chu Jinzhi. After all, if it weren't for him, he wouldn't have earned the five hundred taels today.

.

Chu Jinzhi, who had returned to the governor's office, was indeed feeling hungry. He wanted to grab some cakes to satisfy his hunger, but then he heard from a servant that someone from Jinyuan had sent some food.

The first person Chu Jinzhi thought of was Rong Xi. He walked out happily but only saw a servant.

Even the servant could sense the disappointment on his face.

The boy was also good at talking and quickly helped to make up for it.

"Sir, this is what the young lady asked the kitchen to make for you. She was worried that you didn't eat well in the government office, so she made your favorite pork elbow in rock sugar."

Chu Jinzhi personally took the food box from the boy's hands. The little girl was so thoughtful, and it was worth it that he loved her so much.

"Tell your daughter not to try to use the knives in the kitchen if she doesn't know how to use them, so as not to hurt her hands."

"Yes, my lord."

Chu Jinzhi was happy now. He walked in proudly with the lunch box. As soon as he opened the lunch box, the aroma of food filled his nose. He was really hungry, so he ate up all the food in the lunch box.

Thinking that the little girl was eating the same food as him and thinking about him at home, he felt happier and the depression he had in the morning because he had no clue in the investigation of the case also dissipated.

I have full energy to work in the afternoon.

.

At home, Rong Xi was sitting leisurely on the swing, reading a storybook to Lu'er and Jiang'er.

When you reach the climax, you have to stand up and put your legs on the stool, imitating the man's tone and voice.

"Woman, you can't escape."

When they read this, the two little girls in front of them hugged each other excitedly.

"Girl, what then, what then."

"Then it's gone. Only the first half of this book has been published, and the second half hasn't come out yet."

"what…"

The two looked disappointed, and Rong Xi thought it was quite fun to tease them.

"If you two go out and buy me some sugar-roasted chestnuts, I'll buy the new book as soon as it comes out."

Lu'er was more excited than Jiang'er. "I'll go, I'll go."

He threw the melon seeds in his hand into the fruit bowl and they were gone in a flash.

Rong Xi found it funny. This little girl had a very likable personality.

.

It was Rong Xi who asked the servant to deliver Chu Jinzhi's dinner. After knowing what the servant had said to Chu Jinzhi during the day, he directly gave him a silver ingot.

"You know what to say."

"I know, thank you young lady."

Then Chu Jinzhi realized that the little girl at home was worried that he didn't eat well here, so she insisted that someone send him food.

What she was worried about at home was that she couldn't eat or sleep.

Chu Jinzhi wondered what would happen to this little girl if he was gone.

So in the middle of the night, someone interrogated the prisoner, took a shower, and then returned to Jinyuan.

His movements were very light, but Rong Xi was also very light-headed. She knew it the moment he entered the room and immediately turned over and sat up.

Under the light, the little girl looked at him with her big watery eyes, and he felt so heartbroken.

She must be worried that she couldn't sleep. If it were in the past, she might not wake up even if I took her away from the bed.

"Little Willow."

"Brother Jin, why are you back?"

Rong Xi suddenly felt a little thirsty, so he wanted to go downstairs to have a cup of tea. However, because he was still half asleep, his foot stepped on his pajamas when he went downstairs, and he fell forward.

Chu Jinzhi was so frightened that he caught the people.

It seems that this little girl really missed me. If she had known earlier, she should have come back for dinner.

"Be careful, what will happen if you fall when I'm not around?"

Rong Xi felt that he seemed to have misunderstood, but let it be a misunderstanding. She wanted to drink water now.

Chu Jinzhi hugged her and kissed her again and again before letting her go. Seeing that she was still looking at the teacup, he asked.

"But I want some water."

"Ah."

"I'll pour it for you. You sit on the bed."

Rong Xi finally drank it and felt like he was finally alive.

"But what happened? Why are you so busy that you can't even go home until this time?"

"Something has happened, but don't worry, there are some clues."

When Rong Xi met Chu Jinzhi in Xizizhai, he asked the system and found out why he was suddenly called into the palace.

"That's good."

The two of them lay down. Rong Xi was no longer sleepy because he had just drunk a sip of cold water, so he started chatting with Chu Jinzhi.

"Brother Jin, there seems to be a mouse in our house."

"Rat, why are there rats here?"

"Mice always like to hide underground where no one can see or pay attention. When I was in Qingyang City, I saw mice running rampant in an old man's house. The old man searched for the mice several times but couldn't find where they were nesting. Finally, he found that the mice were good at digging holes and dug holes directly into the mountains, destroying a lot of food."

"Dig a hole."

"Well, mice dig holes."

Rong Xi had just finished speaking when Chu Jinzhi pressed him on the face and kissed him several times.

"Darling, you're awesome."

Rong Xi looked confused "What?"

"Xiao Liu'er, I'm going to the government office. I'll come back to accompany you after I finish my official duties."

Chu Jinzhi put on his clothes in a few seconds and kissed Rong Xi on the face a few times before leaving reluctantly.

Rong Xi just watched him leave, and only smiled after the door closed.

System [Rong Xi, why don't you just tell him directly, so that he can think of the idea himself. ]

"It doesn't matter. If he really doesn't have that brain, he won't understand what I'm saying."

Chu Jinzhi rode to the government office at full speed. In the past few days, he had inspected all the exits and residences in Shengjing, but still did not find any suspicious points.

But he was just thinking normally. After Rong Xi said this, he felt that since those people dared to do such business, they must have made sufficient preparations.

If it's not above ground, it must be underground.

The unidentified corpse was found in the river. Before he died, even the Wu Shi San in his body was not taken out. Of course, it was not because those people did not have time to do it, but because they were unaware of his death.

He brought his men directly to the scene of the crime and arranged for them to check the surroundings carefully, leaving no inch untouched.

After three hours of searching, they finally found the mechanism in a toilet.

We have to say that this group of people are very smart. No normal person would think that the toilet is the exit of an underground passage.

Chu Jinzhi arranged two guards with high martial arts skills to check where this underground passage led to, and they naturally guarded it here.

Soon the two guards came back, and since it was still the middle of the night everyone was asleep.

They climbed up the mountain in the dark and found the ground mechanism in a thatched hut.

Chu Jinzhi didn't let anyone in. After all, he didn't know what the situation was inside, and he didn't want the brothers who followed him to die in vain.
