The villain is far from my CP!

Most of the unsolved cases that had plagued Zhongli County for several days were resolved within just one day of Baiqiao's arrival.

The remaining half was the head catcher. When the yamen servant went to look for him, he found that he had heard the wind and ran away.

Juncheng smiled awkwardly at Baiqiao, "It's really because I don't know people very well, and I didn't check the identity of that person properly, so, alas!"

Bai Qiao felt that Jun Cheng could not be blamed for this.

After the head catcher ran away, the yamen servant went to check his household registration, and learned that the real owner of this household registration had passed away long ago, and it was a false identity.

It must not be a simple person who can put a fake identity in a majestic county government office, such as the old boss of the previous Jiangdu county magistrate.

The six counties in Huainan are vaguely headed by Jiangdu, and the governor of Jiangdu wants to set up a head arrester in Zhongli County, which is really hard to guard against.

Fortunately, the man left in a hurry, and left the place where the relatives of the laborers were detained in the house, which was a small house on the edge of the city.

The yamen servants tracked down the past, not only rescued the relatives of the laborers, but also brought them together with the shop in the west of the city.

It's a pity that there is no one in the shop except the shopkeeper's body.

However, the Chengxi shop in Jiangdu City did not fail.

Although Qi Changting was ill, he had arranged for people to keep an eye on the shop. After receiving the news from Baiqiao, he immediately took action, catching the other party by surprise.

The clerks in the shop complained again and again, saying that when the government seized them without evidence, Baiqiao was still on the way, but Bai Xiao hurriedly sent back the confessions of the two in Zhongli County.

The evidence was so strong that everyone went to jail.

However, after screaming one after another in the prison all night, I can only regretfully confirm that they are all young people, and I don't even know who I am employed by.

Another day, Baiqiao finally returned to Jiangdu safely, and He Cheng greeted her at the gate of the city.

However, what Bai Qiao never expected was that He Cheng was followed by a simple and unpretentious carved carriage.

The curtain was lifted, and the young man who was still pale got up and got out of the car, and gave her a solemn salute.

"Mr. Hardworking."

No hard work, no hard work, it should be done, it's too kind to harm you.

Bai Qiao was thinking about how to respond to the boss's compliment with polite words, and his expression suddenly froze.

What did he call her just now?

Whoa whoa what did he call her just now? !

The girl was obviously stunned for a moment, and then instantly turned into surprise and a trace of embarrassment.

"Cough, young master, I'm overwhelmed." Bai Qiao coughed lightly, and quickly raised his hand to help Qi Changting, "How can this be worthy of it?"

This is the hero, the future Emperor His Majesty.

"Mr. has established his heart for the world, established his life for the people, and is in charge of himself. How can he not?"

Qi Changting straightened up and said seriously.

my mother~~~

Bai Qiao felt that she was about to be blown into the sky by Qi Changting, so he secretly took a few deep breaths and managed to calm down.

She no longer performed the blessing ceremony, but bowed her hands to Qi Changting, and said solemnly: "Thank you for your love, young master."

Who doesn't want to be respected as an individual?

Bai Qiao has been used as a tool to win over men in the Bai family for so long, and today he finally feels free.

A group of people boarded the car again and headed for the city.

Bai Qiao didn't go back to the county office anymore, but only handed a report she had written to He Cheng, and then went back to Bai's house first.

God knows how much she wanted to lie down, the carriage sat so badly that her back almost broke.

She swears that when she goes to Dongdu, she must find time to practice equestrianism!

On the other side, Qi Changting and He Cheng went back to the inn together.

In the carriage, He Cheng carefully looked at Qi Changting's expression.

It stands to reason that it is something to be happy that Bai Qiao came back safely and managed things so beautifully. Why does His Highness's expression have nothing to do with happiness?

Qi Changting lowered his eyes slightly, twirling a tender mint leaf between his fingers, and the expression of Cai Baiqiao couldn't stop appearing in his mind.

He could clearly see her ecstasy when he called that "Sir".

In order to urge him to pay attention to his health these days, He Cheng often mentioned to him how Bai Qiao patiently coaxed him and tried his best to feed him medicine when he suddenly fell ill that day and passed out.

Even later, he was so tired that he fell asleep on the table, and when he woke up, he rushed to Zhongli without stopping.

Bai Xiao was later found by He Cheng to accompany her.

In short, for him to return to Beijing on time, the little girl did her best and spared no effort.

Did she really only regard him as an object of interest exchange?

But he had already promised to take her to Dongdu, so why did she work so hard for him?

He recalled He Cheng's initial guess—Bai Qiao might have taken a fancy to him.

So he felt that he should do something to make the girl realize the reality and stop expecting anything from him.

For example, change her address from "girl" to "sir."

When the word "girl" is evoked, it is inevitable that there is some redundant intimacy, while "sir" not only expresses respect, but also increases the distance. It should let her understand what he means, right?

But seeing the girl's heartfelt surprise today, he suspected that Baiqiao might have misunderstood it.

Or did she not mean that to him in the first place?

how can that be possible?She did that to him!

Qi Changting's mind was in a mess, but for some reason he was not at ease.

"Chick." The boy suddenly snorted lightly.

This experience is really sick to the point that my mind is not clear.

"Miss Bai gave you something just now?" He turned his head to look at He Cheng.

He Cheng hurriedly presented the envelope, and couldn't help being surprised: "Didn't Your Highness change his mind? Why..."

How can I switch back to "girl" again?

He Cheng didn't finish his sentence, because a sharp eye knife flew over.

"Can't the girl show respect?" Qi Changting's tone was inexplicably serious.

He Cheng kept his mouth shut, speechless all the way.

When getting off the car, Qi Changting also happened to read the end of the letter.

With a faint smile on the corner of the boy's lips, he got up and got out of the car.

The sun had already set in the west, he raised his head and looked at the fiery red clouds rolling in the west, which was the direction of Dongdu.

The treacherous undercurrent in the court hall was rolling, probably not much different from this scene.

Zhongli's trip took a total of five days, more than half of the ten days.

Fortunately, the work has been assigned in every detail before, even if Qi Changting fell ill, the others worked harder to keep the progress.

After Bai Qiao went back to Bai's house, she asked Yue Lan to press her waist, and slept in the room until the sky was dark, and got up in the afternoon of the next day, preparing a car to go to the government office to help.

"hiss……"

As soon as the carriage moved, the girl let out a cry of pain.

Even after a night, sitting in the carriage again, I still have back pain.

Bai Qiao hated the villain so much.

Ever since the villain returned to the Eastern Capital, it can be said that he is like a fish in water, but it is really hateful that he has caused so much trouble for dredging. She secretly hopes that the hero can teach him a lesson.

Probably this desire was so strong that Qi Changting could see her thoughts when he was working in the afternoon.

"Miss, can't you be angry?" The young man looked over with a smile, as gentle as ever.

Bai Qiao was slightly taken aback by the title at first, but seeing that Qi Changting had no intention of changing his words, he could only accept it resentfully, then nodded viciously, looking over with undisguised eyes of hope.

But unexpectedly, Qi Changting shook his head.

"The mastermind behind the incident in Zhongli County is probably not the same as the imperial envoy and the person who encouraged the laborers."

"?" Puzzled on Baiqiao's face.

However, Qi Changting just looked at her, without further explanation.

——Bai Qiao is good at business affairs, but obviously not very sensitive in political affairs, since he wants to make her his confidant, he has to teach her little by little.

His little teacher is very clever, and he must be able to figure it out soon.

Sure enough, after a while, Baiqiao let out a light ah.

"If the villain... ah no, if the political opponent of Mr. Chang can come up with such a good solution as the case of Zhongli County, there is no need to insist on sending imperial envoys south, let alone the life of the dignified Qintian Supervisor."

Qi Changting nodded in satisfaction, and added: "Besides, the arrester who ran away from the Zhongli County government office is also very abnormal. He had time to kill the shopkeeper of the shop in the west of the city, but left the laborer's relatives in the house."

The young man shook his fan, "I'm more inclined, the head catcher deliberately left clues to you."

"Deliberately?" Bai Qiao thought about it carefully again, and seemed to have this reason, hesitatingly said: "So, that head catcher still has some conscience?"

Qi Changting smiled without saying a word.

Rather than saying that the head catcher has a conscience, it is better to say that the people behind him are interesting.

Today's third son, the boss looks like a ghost, but the second...

Half human, half ghost.

His elder brother sometimes acted harshly, such as the former governor of Jiangdu County collecting grain and making a lot of ill-gotten wealth.

But he always shows a bit of clarity and innocence in small things, such as now.

But these are still far away from Baiqiao, Qi Changting doesn't intend to let her know too much so early.

He briskly changed the topic to what Bai Qiao was really interested in.

"You're right, Mr. Chang's political opponent has caused us so much trouble, so we can't just let it go."

The young man's tone was brisk, but He Cheng, who was familiar with him, could clearly hear the coldness in it.

"Chaotang is like a big net, one hair can move the whole body, not to mention that what he moves is Tangtang Qintian Supervisor."

Qin Tianjian is a very special existence in all dynasties and dynasties.

The official rank is not high, and the supervision is no more than the fifth or sixth rank, but their right to speak is not much worse than that of the first or second rank officials.

Especially when meeting an emperor like Emperor Huisheng who has no real talents and learning, the mysterious and mysterious astrology is much more important than the sage books.

Such an important chess piece can be easily discarded by Qi Jingmin, how should the other chess pieces feel?

What's more, the person who is considering becoming his chess piece, is he still willing?

Dongdu, the Great Prince's Mansion.

Qi Jingmin looked at the man dressed as a butler in front of him, almost unable to suppress his sinister expression.

He originally had an appointment with Ye Zhen, Ye Huan's father, to have tea with him this afternoon, but he only waited for a housekeeper and a nonsense excuse for a sudden cold?

This is the butler of Ye Mansion, Prime Minister Ye's butler!

He told himself over and over again, and finally calmed down after taking a deep breath.

"Old man Ye Ge has severe wind and cold? I still have a piece of old wild ginseng in my house, let's take it to old man Ge today."

"Your Highness is too polite, there is nothing lacking in the mansion, and the imperial doctor also said that your body should not be nourished, just take the medicine on time."

The housekeeper politely declined, and said: "I missed the appointment today, and I hope His Highness will be more tolerant."

The butler left the door of the First Prince's Mansion, and after getting into the carriage, gently wiped the cold sweat off his forehead.

He always felt that His Highness was inexplicably scary.

It's really right for my master to decide to miss the appointment at the last minute, and the future lady's marriage should be discussed in a long-term way.

Ye Fu's carriage went away.

Behind him, the eaves of the First Prince's Mansion was like a huge mouth, looking at his prey with regret, and gradually disappeared at the end of the long street.

The author has something to say:

Qi Changting (counting petals.jpg): She likes me, she doesn't like me, she likes me, she doesn't like me...
