As soon as Shen Jing went out, the two men made a gesture to come and escort him, and Yan Yu immediately stepped forward, Shen Jing shook his head at him, and said, "I will go by myself, and, my lord, this matter is not It should be that we go to the government together to seek justice, not to convict me, right?"

He couldn't have been condemned before he even started.

This position must first be clarified.

Master Wang's face is not very good-looking. He has been rampant in the county for many years as the master of the county, and almost no one dares to confront him, except of course people with more status than him.

A little guy like Shen Jing, who could be said to have trampled to death with one foot, dared to trouble him today?

Master Wang said, "Of course it's to seek justice."

There were so many people present, suddenly I had to take care of my own face.

Shen Jing smiled, "Then let's go, I just plan to report something to the government."

Shen Jing noticed that when they were walking towards the government, the little brother who was very excited and talked a lot sneaked away.

I don't know what he is going to do, whether he is going to inform the police or send rescuers...

Although Master Wang is not a big official, he is from the county. Anyone in this town who sees him will give him three points.People from the official government crowded him in almost nodding and bowing their heads, and even moved a chair for Master Wang to sit on.

Shen Jing was speechless.

The mayor asked Mr. Wang why he came, and Mr. Wang said, "Don't you know what happened to the Jiang family?"

Shen Jing saw it very clearly. The mayor's face turned pale in an instant, and fine beads of sweat appeared on his forehead as he answered, "I know, I know."

The relationship between Master Wang and Jiang's family is far-reaching, and no one can figure it out until now. They just know that the Wang family and Jiang's family are always married, just like the elder brother born to Jiang Cheng and his first husband, who is now Wang. The master's concubine.

Speaking of which, Master Wang is Jiang Cheng's son-in-law...

It's just that the two are about the same age, and the master Wang has a noble status, so it's impossible to be called Jiang Cheng's father...

If he yelled like that, it would definitely become a joke in the entire Zhaoyang County. Besides, even if he yelled, Jiang Cheng would not dare to agree.

Because of this, the Jiang family became even more arrogant in Hongjiang Town. With their backers behind them, they hardly put others in their eyes, unless they had a stronger backer than them.

"Now that I know, I won't say more, Jiang Gui, you can tell me."

"Yes, my lord." The other younger brother agreed, this should also be a servant of the Jiang family.

Shen Jing smiled and stared at them intently, wanting to know what they were going to say.

Even after listening to it just now, Shen Jing mustered up enough energy to listen to what they said this time.

Jiang Guidao, "It's like this. My lord and old lady fell ill after eating at Shilaiyun. In addition to the fire last night, both of them are sick in bed now. We suspect that it's Shilaiyun's things that don't work." clean."

This Jiang Gui is much calmer than the little brother just now, at least he didn't directly say that this matter was done by Shilaiyun.

The mayor nodded, "So that's how it is... But I've also heard of the reputation of Shi Lai, which is a very special store in Hongjiang Town. Many people have recommended it to me. Is there any reason for this incident? What misunderstanding?"

"Is there any misunderstanding?" Master Wang's face darkened. The mayor is too ignorant to read people's eyes, but anyone with a little brain knows what he wants. Is there anything else that can be misunderstood?"

"This……"

There was more sweat on the mayor's forehead.

He has been the mayor of Hongjiang Town for decades, and the reason why he has not been promoted is because of his character...

To say that he is an upright official is not enough, but he dare not do anything against his conscience.

"I do have a question," Shen Jing, who had been silent all this time, said, "Master Wang, I have a huge question right now, and I would like to ask you to answer it."

Master Wang snorted and looked at Shen Jing, "What doubts do you have?"

Shen Jing smiled and said, "Tell me about the time when Master Jiang and the old lady came to run around for dinner. Jiang Gui, I believe that the servants of your Jiang family are all responsible, right? Where does the old lady Jiang go? You should remember it very clearly, right?" Jiang Gui nodded, "Of course we know it, it was noon yesterday."

This time Shen Jing almost laughed out loud, "Since that's the case, I have a way. I'll ask the shopkeeper to gather all the customers who came to eat at Shizhuan at noon yesterday, and ask them if anyone has seen it before."

As soon as the mayor heard this, he immediately said, "Okay, let's do this!"

He had already opened his mouth, and Master Wang couldn't say anything now, but Shen Jing noticed that Jiang Gui's expression was a little nervous.

The mayor sent someone to notify Qian Zhuo to do this, and Shen Jing and the others were temporarily free. He said, "I don't know if the mayor has found out who beat my brother and my buddy. Hongjiang Town has been under your care for so many years." It has always been safe and sound under the management of the government, but suddenly something like this happened, I really don’t know if it will be difficult for you.”

Shen Jing has long discovered that the mayor is soft, easy to obey others, but kind in nature.The reason why he said these words was to make him think in this direction.

Sure enough, Shen Jing's compliment to him immediately cheered him up.Hearing what was said later, he said with a serious face, "I also think these people have no good purpose. The brothers who came in and disappeared have not been found out where they are." There is a problem with the food that came to work, and those people are probably out for revenge."

Shen Jing smiled, "Actually, I think it's better to take revenge on me directly."

After listening to Shen Jing's words, Master Wang's expression became even uglier.

At this moment, the little brother who had just left came to the official uniform with an acquaintance, and it turned out to be Cai Yong.

After seeing each other for a while, Shen Jing completely forgot Cai Yong's appearance until he saw him.

Cai Yong has a noble aura in his bones. His previous status should not be low, and he didn't give up on himself when he encountered those things later. Generally speaking, he is also a strong person.

After Cai Yong came, he first saluted the two noble people present, and then began to say, "I am the manager of Four Seasons Restaurant, and I have something to say."

"What is it?" asked the mayor.

"The Four Seasons restaurant was on fire last night. This is something everyone knows now. The place where the fire started was our storage room. This time the fire was very large. After the fire was completely extinguished, we found that everything in the warehouse was gone. Even There is no ashes, I think, the fire that night was not enough to burn everything, so I asked everyone to search carefully at the scene."

The mayor nodded, "And then?"

"We found this at the scene." Cai Yong handed over a box, which seemed to contain very important things.Shen Jing was a little puzzled...

He probably didn't drop anything yesterday, the only box he brought was the red sandalwood box he got from Jiangfu, and the others were unpacked...

But he found that when Cai Yong handed the box to the mayor, Yan Yu's body moved. Shen Jing looked at him and asked silently, "What's wrong?"

Yan Yu's eyes were deep, he shook his head, but approached Shen Jing.

After the mayor took the box, he respectfully handed it to Master Wang, "My lord, please take a look."

Master Wang didn't pick up the box, but the tall and burly man beside him took it.

Just when Shen Jing was a little uncertain, the man opened the box, and Shen Jing was stunned on the spot...

The thing lying in it is not someone else's, it's not something precious, it's a little mirror...

Shen Jing felt that she was going to collapse now, how could Xiao Jingjing be lost by him, when did he drop it, why didn't he notice at all...

The mayor looked at Xiao Jingjing, then at Shen Jing, then at Xiao Jingjing, then at Shen Jing, and said, "...isn't this the young master!"

Shen Jing: "..."

At this time, he really wanted to beat Yan Yu up, why did he make Xiao Jingjing look like him?

But the more it is at this moment, the more he can't mess up by himself, Xiao Jingjing can't explain anything.Shen Jing began to recall the detective novels she had read, and reasoned what she should say next.

Because his astonishment was only a momentary event, the few people present did not notice his panic. The mayor was completely surprised at this time, and said with emotion again, "It's so similar, who carved this?"

Everyone: "..."

The corners of Shen Jing's mouth couldn't help twitching. The brain circuits of this official and ordinary people are really different, and his focus is not in the same place.

Sure enough, Master Wang coughed softly after hearing what he said, and said, "How did you find this kind of thing at the scene of the fire? Were you there at the time? Or did you set the fire?"

Master Wang asked three questions in one breath, and the mayor, who was still in chaos at the beginning, slowly came to his senses, suddenly realized, and opened his eyes wide and said, "It's you?"

Shen Jing smiled, "Finding this statue at the scene of the fire, what does it have to do with me setting it on fire?"

"Isn't this your thing?" Master Wang asked.

Shen Jing said, "It's mine."

"Isn't that you? You set the fire!" Master Wang said.

"This doesn't prove that I let it go." Shen Jing said again.

Cai Yong said, "If you didn't do it, why are your things here?"

Shen Jing laughed and said, "If I really did it, then why should I leave my things on the spot?"
