Yun Zhiyue sighed, "Fortunately, she was seriously injured by Shao Siming last night, so she won't be able to harm anyone for a while. If I were her, I would go find her real corpse instead of wasting time here .”

Hearing this, Chen Mu's eyes lit up.

"If this ghost bride is really Miss Lin who died in love, then her body is most likely in the capital."

"It's possible, but not absolute."

Yun Zhiyue nodded.

Chen Mu rubbed his chin and muttered to himself: "I feel that this trip to the capital must be very interesting."

After reburying the two coffins, Chen Mu and his wife went back.

When walking to the East Street, Chen Mu suddenly saw a pair of acquaintances, not exactly acquaintances of acquaintances.

A little boy and a maid.

A few days ago, after Chen Mu went to Qin Academy to find Mr. Ruan, he happened to see this maid insulting Meng Yanqing.

After learning the truth, it turned out that the little boy had been hitting Xiao Xuan'er and Meng Yanqing with a slingshot.

So Chen Mu slapped the brat on the spot.

At that time, the maid put aside her harsh words and said she wanted to settle accounts with him, but after so long, there was no movement, and she didn't expect to see them here again.

At this time, the two were standing in front of a carriage, as if waiting for something.

And the maid with sharp eyes also found Chen Mu, she was taken aback and pointed at him angrily: "Stop!"

"Come on, do you want to fight?"

Chen Mu rolled up his sleeves and waved his hand holding the gauze.

When the little boy saw Chen Mu, he was so frightened that he quickly hid behind the maid. Apparently, there was still shadow left after being frightened by Chen Mu.

"Little girl, I really dare not hit a woman when I am an old man?"

Chen Mu was aggressive.

The maid was frightened immediately, her lips trembled, and she pointed at Chen Mu for a while but said nothing.

"Xiaodie, what's wrong?"

A man's voice suddenly sounded in the carriage, sounding a little weak.

The maid hurriedly said: "Second Master, this is the arrester who beat up the young master and me. He is too arrogant. Second Master, you must teach him a lesson!"

"Oh?"

The man in the car paused, and opened the curtain to reveal half of his pale face.

After staring at Chen Mu for a moment, he put down the curtains and coughed a few times. He seemed to be seriously ill, and said weakly, "Okay, let's go back first."

"Second Lord—"

"Go back!" The man's voice became a little cold.

Xiaodie didn't dare to disobey the order, she gave Chen Mu a hard look, and led the young master into the carriage.

The carriage moved forward slowly and disappeared into the street.

Chen Mu put down his arms with some regret: "It's quite sensible, and I don't know which landowner it is."

"It's not a local at first glance, you better be careful."

Yun Zhiyue reminded.

"Don't worry, I know what's going on." Chen Mu said with a smile, "Go, I'm getting hungry, I'll invite you to drink."

"Okay." Yun Zhiyue readily agreed with a smile on her face.

Just as he started to move, Chen Mu suddenly paused and turned to look in the direction of the carriage. The scene of the man in the carriage lifting the curtain just now appeared in his mind.

It seemed that the man was holding a white silk handkerchief in his hand...

Chen Mu frowned and thought about it, but he didn't care, and headed towards the nearby tavern with Yun Zhiyue.

……

The carriage moved slowly.

The wheels made clear marks on the dirt.

Xiaodie, the maid in the car, was still chattering and scolding Chen Mu: "Second Master, don't you see how arrogant the policeman is, and doesn't take us seriously..."

"Okay, brother and sister-in-law are used to being arrogant and indulgent to this child, so it's better to be more restrained in the future."

The man frowned and said.

"But we can't let him bully like this, and—"

"Cough cough cough..."

The pale and handsome man coughed again, covering his lips with a silk handkerchief.

The maid watched, but her expression showed no concern.

There was even a contemptuous sneer on the corner of his lips, but he still said, "Second Lord, do you need to see a doctor?"

The man stopped coughing, staring at the blood on the handkerchief, dazed.

Another piece missing.

He sighed softly, threw the blood-stained handkerchief into the stove, and opened the small cabinet next to it.

Inside was a thick layer of handkerchiefs, with gold threads wrapped around the edges.

If you look carefully, you will find the word 'Yuan' printed on it.

Time flies, and in the blink of an eye, another five days have passed.

These few days, Qingyu County has rarely been peaceful. Although some Hades are still searching for the whereabouts of the snake demon, most of them have already left.

Including Xuanwu Envoy and Suzaku Envoy (at least never again).

And Chen Mu has also resigned from the position of head arrester in Qingyu County, and is at home waiting for the call of the capital.
