"I don't believe you."

Captain Lin swallowed his saliva and said, "You little girl are very bad. You pretended to be dumb to deceive me before, and now you are instigating me to eat poisonous insects."

"Miss Youhuang, poisonous insects are different from ordinary poisonous snakes and insects." Yan Ruzhi explained to Youhuang: "I know that the toxicity of many poisonous things will disappear after high-temperature cooking, but the toxicity of poisonous insects is different. Even after high temperature, the toxicity cannot be completely eliminated."

"Listen, I've always said she's bad. She always tricks me into eating some messy food."

"Every time you eat, you still feel unsatisfied and complain that I don't cook enough." You Huang said disapprovingly, "Half of the credit goes to me for your chubby body."

"How dare you say that? You've made me so fat, but you're just skinny." Constable Lin patted his round belly and said, "My mother said that if I don't lose weight, even my in-laws won't be able to tell me about it."

"I can't help it." You Huang said with a smile: "Your character is a bully who preys on the poor. If you are not fat, your character is not three-dimensional enough."

"What a bully, I'm an expert at solving cases." Lin straightened his back, patted his uniform and said, "In just four short years, I solved more than 40 cases before I was promoted to South Market Chief."

"Now he's in charge of the East District. Is he being transferred to another district or promoted?"

You Huang teased her deliberately, but in fact, when he saw that she didn't change her official uniform, he knew that she was not promoted.

Captain Lin rolled his eyes and said, "Didn't you see that the official uniforms were not changed? The government has a new rule: in order to prevent government officials from colluding with local forces, the management area will be changed once a year, and the yamen runners under them will be changed once a month. Don't you think it's disgusting?"

"I thought you were moved from South City District to East City District because you betrayed my whereabouts." Youhuang raised his eyebrows slightly, and a hint of coldness flashed in his eyes.

"I just delivered a message, how can that be called betrayal?" Constable Lin said flatteringly with a smile, "Madam Hou is really quick to act. I just delivered the message when the elite cavalry of the Chu family army appeared in the South Market."

"I have never shown you the longevity lock, how do you know that I am the lost daughter of Wuhou Mansion?" Youhuang glanced coldly at Captain Lin. She wouldn't sneak over the broken cave, would she?

"Don't you ever look in the mirror?" Captain Lin smiled slyly, "You deliberately make your face dirty every day, but you can't hide these eyes. When I was young, I had the honor of seeing your father's elegance, and I still remember those eyes."

"It's not a good thing to think about a married man." Youhuang reminded lazily.

"You can't spit out ivory from a dog's mouth." Captain Lin immediately cursed: "I delivered the message and helped you return to the Marquis' Mansion, and you haven't thanked me yet."

"When I saw you injured, I should have stabbed you again." You Huang gritted his teeth and said, "I don't need to pretend to be dumb or have amnesia if I want to go back to the Marquis' Mansion. I could have walked back ten years ago. It's not your turn to meddle in my business."

"What's wrong with the fine clothes and delicious food in the Marquis' Mansion?" Captain Lin couldn't understand Youhuang, who would rather wander around outside than return to the Marquis' Mansion.

"There is a price to pay for luxurious living." You Huang looked at Captain Lin coldly, murderous intent flashing in his eyes, and said, "You don't know anything, but you just meddle in my affairs. I didn't kill you..."

"Huang'er..."

Chu Yunduan stopped Youhuang and said, "The horses are coming. We should go back home and don't keep Third Aunt waiting for too long."

Youhuang took a look at the horse led by the servant, turned around and walked into the carriage. He decided to keep a distance from those people he had interacted with in the future.

"Go this way."

Chu Yunduan pointed to another road and ran forward first.

The coachman was driving the carriage behind. Captain Lin took a deep breath. She believed that Youhuang really had the intention to kill.

After coming to his senses, he touched his neck and found it was still there. He immediately told his men to take the prisoner back to the government office. The onlookers also took the opportunity to disperse, except for Princess Euna's carriage, which remained motionless.

After watching the fun upstairs, the people went back to drink and have fun.

Gu Ziru and Xie Shixue looked at each other and turned around, only to find that many people had disappeared.

It would be fine if others left, but Yan Guici and Shang Qingxian were the hot candidates for the top three. Once they were allowed to enter the examination room, his chances of becoming the top scorer would drop again. Someone must have secretly reminded the two of them, so they left the private room when they were not paying attention.

"Brother Ziru, don't worry yet." Xie Shixue comforted him softly, "It's only the first month of the year, and the Spring Examination will be held in late March. We still have time."

"My father passed away early, and the family depends on my grandfather for support. Now my grandfather is seriously ill..." Gu Ziru paused and said, "If I win the first place in the imperial examination, he will be happy and his condition may improve."

To put it another way, the Gu family has fallen on hard times and now relies entirely on their grandfather's face to survive. Once their grandfather passes away, all the favors they had received will vanish into thin air.

Xie Shixue was a very smart person, so he naturally thought of this relationship and comforted him gently, "Brother Ziru, you worry too much. With your talent, you should have won the first place in the imperial examination. Why do you need to care about other people's talents?"

"You don't understand the situation, so you don't know my difficulties."

Gu Ziru looked around and lowered his voice, "We may have won the battle with Yinghuo Country on the surface, but we actually paid a huge price. The Chu Army will not be able to recover in a short period of time. They will focus more on the court. We have to prepare early."

"Xue'er will report this to her father, and he will make his own arrangements."

Xie Shixue's words were like a reassurance, instantly calming Gu Ziru's mind.

Gu Ziru thought about it carefully and said, "What do you think His Majesty will do after such a big disturbance happened on Chuyouhuang Street?"

"The Wushen Marquis Mansion has stood for hundreds of years. I believe that many forces hope it will fall. As long as everyone works together..." Xie Shixue hesitated to speak. As she spoke, she thought of those cold, domineering, charming and enchanting eyes. Even a woman like her could not forget them, let alone the men in Tiandu.

"What can you do?"

Gu Ziru immediately asked, now that the Marquis Wushen’s Mansion had collapsed, who else in the court could be more anxious than him.

Xie Shixue thought about it seriously and said, "We must first find evidence to prove that Marquis Wushen is seriously injured and difficult to recover. Only then will others join forces with us to overthrow Marquis Wushen's mansion."

"The Chu family army has returned to the capital for several days. Chu Ce has only shown his face once. Most of the things were handled by Shen Zhaojun..." Gu Ziru pondered for a moment and said, "If we want to prove whether he is injured, we must first find out where he is and then send assassins to beat him up severely. It would be better if we can solve it in one fell swoop."

"It's not easy to find out where Chu Ce is. Just send someone to Tianji Pavilion to buy him." Xie Shixue lowered her eyes and smiled faintly, "After confirming his location, send the news to Yinghuo Country's business office in Fuguang. They will send assassins to attack him. If they investigate later, it will have nothing to do with us."

"Very good, I'll do as you wish."
