The little fox does not want to hide the cub

The next day, Jiang Shen hugged his little fox and slept comfortably until almost noon.

After waking up, they were not in a hurry to go out. The two of them were stuck together for a while, and finally got out of bed until they were so hungry that their chests were pressed against their backs.

Jiang Shen had seen many members of the royal family indulge in beauty before, and neglected their jobs.

Apart from hating iron but not steel, I don't understand what fun it is, why I don't feel bored.It's nothing more than the kind of beauties who often change around. He also heard that someone once fell in love with an oiran in Fengyuelou who was a performer but not a person. He went there every day, every month, and chased him for half a year before marrying him back home.

Until now, she is still affectionate and loving, and she can't wait to tie her to her side every day, and she doesn't even want to go to court.

But now Jiang Shen understood.

For the past two months, he and the little fox were almost inseparable. Instead of feeling bored at all, he felt that the time was too short, as if there was not enough clinging every day.

The two went out, only to see the large group of people kneeling outside the door last night.

Today is a sunny day, it is approaching noon, and the sun is shining brightly.

The officials knelt in the yard, sweating profusely when exposed to the sun.Especially the one who was kicked by Jiang Shen last night, maybe broke some ribs, his face was extremely pale at the moment, as if he was going to faint at any moment.

Yesterday they met the young man from the village who moved a chair and sat in the yard. Seeing Jiang Shen coming out, he greeted him with great vigor: "Your Highness, I have been watching for you last night, and none of them ran away."

Li Ruan asked him: "Is your illness all right?"

The young man seemed a little nervous talking to him, his cheeks blushed, and his voice became hesitant: "Back... back to the Crown Princess, Dr. Cao has done it for me. He said that the infection is not serious and can be cured."

Jiang Shen glanced at Li Ruan, pulled him back calmly, and asked, "Where is Doctor Cao?"

Boy: "I went to the ruined temple..."

This guy really couldn't rest at all, Jiang Shen intentionally arranged a place for him last night, wanting him to rest, who knows, he went to guard the patient again this early in the morning.

Jiang Shen sighed inwardly, and was about to say something, but heard an eagle howling in the air.

He looked up and saw a black eagle hovering above their heads.

The corners of Jiang Shen's lips curled up, and soon, a young man dressed in black quickly stepped into the courtyard, kneeling in front of Jiang Shen: "Your Highness, my subordinates are too late to save you."

Jiang Shen said: "It's not too late, it's just in time."

Although he intentionally concealed his identity and went to the mountain village to investigate yesterday, he was also worried about any accidents during this trip.So he put a letter among the returned horses, telling Yu Xiu their general whereabouts, and asked Yu Xiu to come as soon as possible after receiving the letter, in case of emergency.

Now it seems that it can come in handy.

Jiang Shen helped the man up, took out a piece of imperial order from his bosom, and handed it to Yu Xiu: "This is the imperial order from the crown prince. I will write a letter in my own handwriting later. Take the things and escort these people back to Beijing. Hand it over to the Ministry of Criminal Justice."

Yu Xiu replied: "Yes."

Jiang Shen turned his head again, and shouted into the yard: "Where is Master Wu, are you still awake?"

Master Wu was old, Jiang Shen was worried that if he knelt like this all night, he would do something wrong, so he deliberately avoided his kneeling last night before going to bed, and let him go to rest.

After all, Jiang Shen still wanted to find out from him why the government treated those patients like this.

After Jiang Shen finished speaking, a voice came from the corner of the courtyard: "Ma'am——His Royal Highness, Caomin is here."

Master Wu walked over quickly, and knelt down in front of Jiang Shen with a plop.

Jiang Shen said calmly: "I still thought Master Wu would sneak away by myself while His Highness was asleep last night."

"W-Where do you dare?" Master Wu said shyly, wiping the sweat from his forehead, "Caomin is a scholar, even if he runs, he can't escape the palm of His Highness the Crown Prince."

Jiang Shen smiled: "You still know the current affairs."

After all, he was not the one who contradicted the prince, and the concealment of the news of the strange illness in the village did not seem to have any serious consequences so far, at most he would be locked up for a year or so.But if he ran away this night, he would be disobeying orders and resisting arrest, and seriously, he would lose his head.

Jiang Shen withdrew his gaze, and said to Yu Xiu: "Take this one, and the prefect of the capital, together with the Ministry of Punishment, and give me a proper interrogation."

Yu Xiu: "Yes."

Jiang Shen has known a servant of the Ministry of Justice for many years, and he knows everything about it, so he intends to entrust this matter to him.He wrote a letter about what happened in Rongxia Village, and handed it to Yu Xiu along with the imperial order.

Yu Xiu quickly escorted the group of officials out of the village.

Then, Jiang Shen let the village boy take them to the village head's house.

The village chief's house lived at the highest point in the east of the village. It was a single-family house with a large scale. There were no other courtyards nearby, and the environment was particularly quiet.

These villagers, who live on farming, have excellent relations with neighbors and have the habit of not closing their doors at night.

Jiang Shen and Li Ruan walked all the way, the doors of every house were wide open, and many people gathered in front of the door to see them.Only the village head's house was closed and even locked from the door to the courtyard.

The boy stepped forward and knocked on the door, but no one answered.

Jiang Shen turned his head and asked Li Ruan: "Isn't you at home?"

Li Ruan glanced into the yard and said, "Yes."

He clearly sensed the breath of a stranger inside.

Jiang Shen thought for a moment, then said to the young man, "Go back and rest first, we can handle it ourselves here."

Boy: "But..."

"Go." Jiang Shen said, "You need more rest and recuperation due to your illness, and you sneaked out last night and never went back. Your sister should be worried."

The boy had no choice but to say "yes", turned and left.

There is a fence around the yard. Jiang Shen stood outside the wall and said loudly, "Mr. Li, you should know who I am. I have something to ask you now. Should you open the door for us to talk in, or follow me?" Let’s take a trip to the capital, and let’s talk slowly in the prison?”

Li Ruan pulled down Jiang Shen's sleeve, and asked in a low voice suspiciously: "Isn't there no evidence, so you can't arrest people easily?"

"He doesn't know." Jiang Shen calmly said without changing his expression, "You're scaring him."

Li Ruan: "..."

He recently discovered that Jiang Shen has a lot of bad intentions.

Not serious at all.

But the scare does work.

The two didn't wait long when the door in front of them was finally opened, and an old man with gray hair came out.

Inside the house, the old man poured a cup of tea for the two of them.

"His Royal Highness, please have some tea."

The news in the village spread quickly. It was already late at night when Jiang Shen revealed his true identity last night, but this morning alone, the news spread throughout the village.

Jiang Shen rubbed his teacup, didn't rush to drink, and asked again: "Does the village chief know why His Highness came to look for you?"

The old man whispered: "The grassroots don't know."

The village head is said to have passed the Juren examination. Although he is old, he can still see a bit of refined bookishness.His temperament is very different from that of ordinary mountain villagers. He behaves politely and speaks politely.

Jiang Shen simply did not go around in circles with him: "Does the village chief know where the strange disease in the village came from?"

The old man still said: "The grassroots don't know."

Jiang Shen: "Then do you know that since you reported to the government and the government took the patients away, they have never given them any medicine. If Dr. Cao hadn't secretly gone to treat them, those villagers would have died long ago. "

"...Do you dare to say that you don't know about these?"

Village head Li dodged his expression: "I..."

"You know." Jiang Shen's voice cooled down, "As the head of a village, you are deeply trusted by the villagers, but you personally pushed them into the fire pit. Why did you do this?"

The old man lowered his head and stopped answering.

This is the most difficult category of people to judge.

They don't lie, but they don't tell the truth either, they are like gourds, so that people can't find the flaws in their words.

However, there is no way to use lynching for interrogation.

Jiang Shen breathed a sigh of relief silently. Fortunately, he had expected the attitude of the village chief, and glanced at the young man beside him.

The boy smiled at him, and gently closed his eyes.

When he opened his eyes again, a bright red light appeared in the depths of his pupils.

This light was extremely pure red, which made the young man's complexion extremely white, and his facial features were a little more bright and gorgeous.He was still sitting where he was, with his chin resting on one hand, his expression still very relaxed, and he even smiled slightly.

But the demeanor around him has become completely different, as if the greenness and innocence of the past have faded away, and there is a faint sense of oppression that makes people breathless.

"Village Chief Li." Li Ruan called softly, "Look at me."

The old man raised his head, met the young man's gaze, and was taken aback for a moment.

His eyes quickly faded away.

Li Ruan said: "Village Chief Li, I hope you don't lie to me, is that okay?"

His voice was also different.

The little fox originally had a softer voice, with an ending sound when he spoke, as if he was acting like a baby.But his voice is now lower and more ethereal.There was a hint of charm in that voice, and the protracted tone seemed to have a small hook, so that people didn't have any thoughts left, just wanted to tell him everything, and obeyed everything.

Jiang Shen frowned, a subtle displeasure emerged in his heart.

Even on the bed, he had never heard such... such a seductive voice from the little fox.

Is the fox clan's psychedelic technique really like this?

The old man's consciousness seemed to be completely controlled by the young man. He stared blankly at the young man with his slack eyes. After a long time, he nodded slowly: "Okay."

But Li Ruan didn't ask the next sentence for a long time.

He was silent for a while, until Jiang Shen began to feel a little strange, and then he realized that someone had pulled his sleeve.

The young man looked at him, and the breathless feeling of oppression from the big demon all over his body instantly faded away.His beautiful red eyes blinked, and his expression looked a little innocent: "What are we going to ask?"

Jiang Shen: "..."
