Seeing this, the county magistrate frowned, and the county magistrate beside him lowered his head and said, "My lord, this is true."

When the county magistrate heard the words, he had to stand up to greet him, "I don't know that the imperial envoy is here, but the next official is not far away to welcome me, but I hope the imperial envoy will be sympathetic."

Shangguan Ling went straight to the first book case and sat down, "Okay, we are ordered to visit privately this time, and it's okay if the county magistrate doesn't know, but this case is full of doubts. As a parent officer, how can you be so hasty."

The county magistrate bowed down and flattered, "Your Excellency is right, but the lower officials are wrong, but the witnesses of this person are gathered together, and the lower officials really don't understand what else to investigate in this case."

Mu Jin stepped forward, "Of course we have to investigate. There must be a reason for killing. Although the deceased is dead, but according to what my aunt said yesterday, first, the deceased came to the Four Seasons Inn voluntarily, so Xu Zhi'an has no reason to kill. Second, the person who brought the deceased into the Four Seasons Inn has never been found. Third, the auntie did break Xu Zhian's jade finger yesterday, so this piece of evidence is invalid."

The county magistrate looked coldly, "Who are you?"

Mu Jin saluted, "I'm the book boy."

Shangguan Ling sneered, "Why, what the official's book boy said is wrong?"

The county magistrate lowered his eyebrows and lowered his eyes, "No, it's just that the lower official thinks it's getting late, why don't you let the lower official take the adults to rest for a while, how about we have another trial tomorrow?"

Wang Fugui snorted coldly, "The day lily will be cold tomorrow, so let's try it now."

The county magistrate was a little bit embarrassed, "My lord, don't you care about your subordinates?"

"He's right." Shangguan Ling looked at the aunt, seeing her trembling, "You...you just said that you love your daughter very much?"

The aunt nodded, "Yes."

"Is there anyone in the hall who knows her?" Shangguan Ling looked out and saw no one approached, so he slapped the chopping board, "You all should be cowards, and if you make a wrong judgment or misjudgment again in the future, don't worry about it." Count on others to help you."

Then the man stepped forward slowly, "My lord, the villain is Aunt Zhang's neighbor. Aunt Zhang is actually not very kind to this little daughter. One day, just after I left the field, I saw Aunt Zhang took money from a man. The man then took the little daughter away, as to where he went, I don't know."

Aunt Zhang was angry, "You are talking nonsense, you have nothing to prove, what evidence do you have?"

The man was taken aback, "Okay, I don't have evidence, but you often beat and scold your little daughter, and everyone around these things can testify."

"You...you..." Aunt Zhang gradually calmed down, "If she is disobedient, can I not hit her? Besides, I beat her because I feel sorry for her. As a mother, I also It hurts!"

Shangguan Ling tapped the chopping board again, "Okay... If that man was in front of you, would you possibly recognize him?"

The man thought for a while, "I can't see the face clearly. Although I am a little far away, I can still see the big black mole on the corner of the man's mouth."

The county magistrate heard a cold light in his lowered eyes, "Since you can't see clearly, you can't judge just because of a big mole. Maybe the mole is fake, or maybe it's because of something on his face." It's what makes you look wrong."

The man shook his head, "I can't be mistaken, I also saw that man touched the mole on the corner of his mouth, it doesn't look fake."

Shangguan Ling glanced at the county magistrate, "Whether it's true or not, it's not too late to find out before making a judgment."

The county magistrate gritted his teeth, "Yes, I will order someone to look for it. Today, I will come here first. I will be the host and clean up the dust for my lord."

Shangguan Ling nodded, "Suppress them both, and try again tomorrow."

The aunt was shocked when she heard the words, "Why, it is obviously the daughter of a civilian woman who was killed, why do you want to lock me up?"

Shangguan Ling stood up, "This case is full of doubts, and you...should know something. You can talk to me tomorrow after you think it over!"

The yamen servant suppressed him, and the county magistrate lowered his eyebrows and said, "Please, my lord, I will take you to the most famous restaurant in the area for dinner."

Shangguan Ling waved his hand, "No, how about going to your house and sitting?"

"Of course it's excellent, the succulent plants are shining!" The county magistrate walked behind a few people, he looked at the county magistrate coldly, and whispered: "You go back quickly, let my son stay outside for a few days, wait for this matter Finish and come back.”

"Yes!"

Although the county magistrate's mansion is not big, it is indeed very luxurious. Even the simple tea sets in the living room are extremely strong and expensive purple sand pots, and the words carved on them are also very solid.

The county magistrate wiped the cold sweat from his forehead, "I never thought that my lord would bring so many people with me on this trip, what should I do if I encounter criminals."

Shangguan Ling brought a group of people to the county magistrate's mansion, with the momentum of killing people.

Wang Fugui snorted coldly, "Don't worry about the county magistrate, we will protect you with our lives."

The county magistrate smiled, "Yes, everyone, please take a seat. The food will not taste good if it is cold."

Once everyone was seated, Shangguan Ling sneered, "I never thought that you, a mere county magistrate, would live a life no worse than that of an imperial city official!"

The county magistrate smiled dryly. He took out a wooden box, put it on the table and pushed it to Shangguan Ling, "This is the Purple Jade Guanyin. It's safe. I will present it to you, wishing you success all the way."

Shangguan Ling opened it and moistened the Avalokitesvara Ziyu, which was full of water, and his eyes showed satisfaction.

The county magistrate took out another small box and handed it to Shiyin, "This is a little care from the lower officials, please accept it, Madam."

Shangguan Ling coughed, "It's my daughter."

The county magistrate patted his forehead, "I'm sorry, I'm sorry, please accept Qianjin."

Shiyin took it and put the bracelet in the box on, "Daddy, is it pretty?"

"Excellent."

vomit!

Mu Jin rolled his eyes.

"Okay, this time the county magistrate has to pay the fee." Shangguan paused, "However, every yard counts, and this case still needs to be investigated."

The county magistrate frowned, "Naturally."

Shangguan Yue peeled the prawns one by one, and arranged them neatly, which was pleasing to the eye, "Master, please eat."

The county magistrate glanced at her, and because of the prominent facial features, he made him look twice more, which made Mu Jin feel a little uncomfortable, so he simply switched places with Shangguan Yue, and even gave the county magistrate a glare.

The magistrate withdrew his gaze, "My lord, I don't know when I will return this time, so I will send you off to my lord."

"No, we still have to go south, but we won't start until this case is over."

County magistrate: "How can a case be solved so quickly, it will delay the trip of adults, why not..."

"Really? Then why was the case judged so quickly?"

The county magistrate swallowed his anger, "This is the negligence of the subordinate officials. It is most appropriate to hand over this case to the adults."

Shangguan Ling didn't say anything, and when everyone left after eating, the county magistrate snorted coldly, looked at their backs, and suppressed his anger, "Damn it, why don't you just do something about this brat, no, I have to think about it." Method."

・・・・・・・・・

Shangguan Ling: "Did you find anything?"

Mu Jin shook his head, "No, if the county magistrate hid the person, it would be hard for us to find him."

Shangguan Yue: "Not necessarily, if we don't leave and wait a little longer, he will show his feet."

Shangguan Ling raised his hand to signal, "Go back first."

At dusk, the Four Seasons Inn is ten miles away.

"You came to me, which means you've figured it out." A man in a black robe was talking to Lin Tianyou.

Lin Tianyou's eyes were full of unwillingness, "Yes, I have already figured it out. Instead of being passive, we should take the initiative to fight for what we want."

"what do you want?"

Lin Tianyou suddenly laughed, "I only want Shangguan Yue, even if I can't get it, I won't give her up."

"Okay, I have already found an opportunity for you to get rid of Mu Jin. After you left, I handed over a letter to the county magistrate. You should take advantage of the opportunity. Once you return to the imperial city, it will be difficult to find another opportunity." .”

Lin Tianyou's eyes were gloomy, "Do you believe me?"

The man in black nodded, "No one else knows about your southward trip except for the court minister. It is written in the letter that you are false imperial envoys. What should you do? It doesn't take much from me, right?"

"Don't worry, I won't let him go back."

Lying on the big bed, Mu Jin sighed comfortably, "Your father may not be a qualified father, but he is a good emperor."

Shangguan Yue's eyes were dazzled, and she laughed at herself: "Are you a good emperor? You still don't know much about emperors. Once someone touches his interests, you will know what an emperor is."

Mu Jin sat up and saw that Shangguan Yue seemed to be in some kind of memory, she walked towards her, "Actually... you can give me a little more trust, as long as I can do it, I will definitely do my best to help you."

Shangguan Yue raised her eyes, her mirror-like eyes seemed to reveal a ray of sorrow, she shook her head and said, "Didn't you want to leave me in the past? I didn't do it before because of my selfishness. Now if you want to leave, I will never stop you, you have already helped me a lot, and I don't want you to participate too much."

"Are you going to drive me away?" Mu Jin's eyes darkened, "What if I say no?"

Shangguan Yue was dumbfounded, "Then don't regret it."

Mu Jin snorted coldly, "There's nothing to regret, it's not like you, you drive me away, but in fact, you wish I could stay, so that I can be your cow."

Shangguan Yue pursed her lips and smiled, "So I am a duplicity in Jin'er's heart?"

Aren't all women duplicity!

"My duplicity is right!" Seeing Shangguan Yue holding a sword, Mu Jin said, "You are going to find the guy who just testified!"

Shangguan Yue: "Well, you are waiting for me here."

Mu Jin: "No, I want to go too."

Shangguan Yue: "No, the county magistrate will definitely send someone to assassinate him, and I'm afraid I won't be able to take care of you at that time."

Mu Jin: "Then you don't have to go there yourself?"

Shangguan Yue looked soft, and thought about his words, "This case can't be delayed for too long, we have to continue going south, so I will take the opportunity to go to the county magistrate's mansion to investigate and try to close the case in a short time."

Mu Jin curled her lips, but she also knew that she was a burden, "Are you going alone?"

Shangguan Yue shook his head, "Vice General Wang will go with me."

Mu Jin was discouraged, "Okay!"

After Shangguan Yue left, Mu Jin lay on the bed bored, looking up at the starry sky outside the window. She was a little bit confused about the future, but when she thought of Shangguan Yue, this thought faded a little.

Suddenly, Mu Jin saw a few black shadows on the roof outside the window, and before she could react, a sharp arrow shot towards her forehead!
