On the day of the granted marriage, the daughter of a general wept and was reborn!

"Don't you know?" The old man's eyebrows trembled as he looked at the pale-faced scholar in front of him.

Shen Wantang shook his head.

"It is said that a high-ranking official will come from the capital today. Look, the county magistrate went outside the city to greet him early in the morning." The old man continued.

Someone from Beijing?

The two looked at each other with gloomy eyes.

After the old man left, the two followed the crowd and walked out of the city.

"Before you came, did the person in the palace tell you that someone else would be sent?" Cen Xiao asked thoughtfully.

Shen Wantang thought carefully -

Before leaving, Ji Xunchuan did not say anything else, just told him to keep a close eye on Cen Xiao.

Now there are people coming to the capital again. Could it be that they are here to monitor me?

Yes, Ji Xunchuan is a suspicious person by nature, and that's his style of doing things.

"No." Shen Wantang responded coldly.

Cen Xiao raised his eyebrows, as if thinking about something.

At that time, the city was already heavily guarded. Among the yamen runners, a man in an official robe was pacing back and forth with a nervous look on his face, rubbing his hands constantly, and seeming to be muttering to himself.

Shen Wantang stood on tiptoe and was able to barely see what was happening outside the crowd.

Cen Xiao lowered his eyes and raised his eyebrows.

"There is no shadow outside the city, only the wandering county magistrate and the bailiffs standing guard." Cen Xiao spoke slowly, took a long breath, and repeated the scene that he had easily seen.

Shen Wantang raised her eyes, and her gaze met Cen Xiao's unruly gaze.

She suddenly looked away and pretended nothing had happened.

Shen Wantang seemed to be lost in thought, feeling that something was wrong.

She glanced around, grabbed Cen Xiao's wrist and squeezed out of the crowd.

"Let's go. The high-ranking official from the capital will not come today." Shen Wantang said in a calm tone, as if he already knew everything.

The two of them headed towards the county government office. Cen Xiao raised his eyebrows and asked, "Why?"

"It takes at least a month to prepare for an official to be sent abroad. There was no movement in the court before we left. But if it was a secret visit, why would the county magistrate go to so much trouble?" Shen Wantang made a thorough analysis.

Cen Xiao also nodded repeatedly in response.

"This news was probably spread by the county magistrate's faction in the court." Shen Wantang continued to explain.

There was just one thing that Cen Xiao still didn't understand.

"Since the news was released by the forces in the court, then there should be officials coming. Why is there no movement now?"

This is a point that hits the nail on the head.

Shen Wantang stopped and patted the purse hanging around her waist.

Cen Xiao understood instantly, and the corner of his eyes raised: "So, it's the person in front of me."

"Nowadays, most of the people in the county government are outside the city. Let's go to the county government." Shen Wantang smiled indifferently.

After she finished speaking, she turned and left.

Looking at the girl's back, Cen Xiao curled his thin lips, and the curiosity in his heart was once again aroused by the girl.

As expected, just as Shen Wantang said, there is only one legal advisor left in the county government.

However, the county magistrate was out, and the lawyer was too lazy to stay in the county government office, so he packed up his things and went home early.

After this visit, the county government office truly became an "empty city".

In the backyard, two figures fell from the wall, as lightly as leaves falling from the tree.

The layout of this county government office is pretty much the same. As long as you know the court room well, you will know the entire layout.

Following Cen Xiao's footsteps, it only took a moment for the two of them to arrive at the court.

Behind the court is the place where case files are sorted.

Shen Wantang took out the hairpin hidden in her black hair.

With a click, the lock was opened.

As soon as they entered the door, they were choked by the strong smell of ink. The smell was not entirely ink, but more of a musty smell.

"With such a strong musty smell, could it be that the magistrate of Mo County never organizes the files?" Shen Wantang frowned.

Cen Xiao glanced around with disgust, took out a fan and handed it to Shen Wantang: "It smells strong, fan it, it can cover it up a bit."

After he finished speaking, he walked straight to the file cabinet from a few years ago.

With just a quick glance up and down, he saw Luohan's file.

As soon as he got close, he was choked by the dust on the cabinet and took two steps back. Cen Xiao frowned and raised his hands to protect his face tightly.

Shen Wantang came forward, wrapped the file in a handkerchief and took it down.

As soon as they opened the file, the stench of ink hit them in the face, and their brows furrowed.

"This file is really interesting. It distorts the facts in this way." After taking a quick look at the file, Shen Wantang spoke in a cold voice.

Cen Xiao said gloomily: "This is the case with just this one file. I'm afraid all the files in the whole house are the same."

However, the files only record criminals. People like the scholar from Qingshui Town will naturally not be recorded.

It would be difficult to find any clues here to overturn Luohan's case.

"Do you think this news is true?" Suddenly, a voice came from the door.

The two of them dodged and hid under the wall, behind the cabinet.

"Who knows? Anyway, the news from above said that a senior official was coming. We have been waiting for such a long time but no one showed up. Is the news from above accurate?"

The two bailiffs walked over slowly, and when their voices became quieter, Shen Wantang and Cen Xiao breathed a sigh of relief.

In the small space, the breathing of the two people intertwined. After they recovered from their shock, Shen Wantang finally reacted and stuck himself to Cen Xiao.

She jumped away reflexively, her eyes becoming a little evasive.

Cen Xiao coughed twice, trying to pretend nothing had happened: "It's time to go. Some people have already returned. I'm afraid more people will come back later."

Shen Wantang nodded.

After quietly coming out of the case room, the two of them climbed out again from the wall they had climbed in through.

Although he was walking on the street, Shen Wantang's face just now vaguely appeared in Cen Xiao's mind. Somehow, his face began to turn red from his ears and spread to his neck.

"Tonight, I would like to meet the county magistrate." Shen Wantang's words brought Cen Xiao back to his senses.

He frowned, and couldn't help but get nervous: "You are walking into a trap!"

Shen Wantang naturally understood this, but she also understood that one cannot gain a tiger cub without risking it.

When he returned to the inn, Cen Xiao had a gloomy face and his clothes were already covered with dust from his time in the file room.

The originally azure blue material was now covered with a layer of dust, and there was a faint smell of mold.

Shen Wantang knocked on the door, and the deputy general hooked his finger and slowly opened the door.

"My two lords, I have been waiting for you for a long time." As he said this, the deputy general pretended to shake a handkerchief that he had found from somewhere.

Cen Xiao was already in a bad mood, so he grabbed the deputy general's hand and pulled him up with force.

The other hand rudely pulled off the velvet flower on his head.
