After Feng Ling went down, Ji Ling stared at the hollowed-out carvings on the window frame in a daze, not knowing what to think, but sneered after a while, and tugged at the corner of his mouth, his eyes were very indifferent.

Even after such an incident, Tang Xiaobao still insisted on going to open the shop every day, but the affected business still did not recover after all, and there was even news that Tang Xiaobao and the others intentionally murdered people here in the alley.But rumors are rumors after all. Before there is no conclusive evidence, no one dares to challenge him.There are even some regular customers who are worried that this incident will cause the restaurant to close. For such people who really care about it, Tang Xiaobao sent the most eloquent waiter in his shop to explain the ins and outs to them, and he also promised that his shop will always be open. Drive on, and each of them gave a small gift before they left the store.

Soon it was time for the government to announce the ins and outs. Before that, the yamen specially sent someone to inform Tang Xiaobao of the time, in case no one would be there.

It took a total of three days from the dispatch to the second interrogation. From the panic at the beginning, Tang Xiaobao gradually calmed down.When it was time to go to the yamen, Ji Ling also specially took the time to accompany him.When I came to the yamen, the magistrate of the county had just finished the trial of a case of stealing chickens. It was a very sad time. When he saw the defendant who came, he just raised his eyelids lightly, but the young master next to him turned towards him. The two nodded their heads as a gesture.

Tang Xiaobao was a little surprised, and after struggling for a while, he returned the gift to him, but Ji Ling nodded very calmly to show that he had received the gift.

The master didn't say anything more when he saw the two of them, but just said a few words to the sad master sitting there.Even though he was not very happy, the magistrate of the county checked that the time was almost up, but the plaintiff from last time was nowhere to be seen in the hall, so he asked the yamen guard standing beside him, "Then Chen Si, did you pass on the message? "

"Master, we found the person who delivered the message in person, and he even told us when the meeting will open three times." The yamen servant was very respectful when he spoke, looking at the place where the plaintiff was supposed to be standing but there was no one there. , also frowned thinking about something.

Seeing that his subordinates have said this, the magistrate of the county didn't say much, thought for a while, and then said: "Let's wait for another stick of incense, and if the person hasn't arrived, then send someone to him Find a place where you live." Thinking like this, but looking at the couple standing there without saying a word, he said with some helplessness: "I'm afraid it will take a few more days."

"It doesn't matter, as long as we can be innocent, it doesn't matter." Ji Ling stood there, as if he didn't care.

It's just that after a stick of incense, the tangerine peel still didn't come.So the magistrate frowned and asked Catcher to go to Chen Pi's house and bring him back quickly.

Hearing the somewhat impatient tone in his elder's mouth, knowing that the master had already started to feel a little dissatisfied because of this incident, he didn't dare to stay any longer after taking the order, so he hurried away with his younger brothers.It was just unexpected that the tangerine peel was not in the place where he lived. After many inquiries, he found that the tangerine peel went out after the official told him when he would arrive at the Yamen, and he never came back.

Knowing the whole story, Tang Xiaobao was a little dumbfounded, what is this series of operations?The plaintiff ran away, so what about his innocence?

Compared to Tang Xiaobao's panic, the county magistrate looked calm, looked at the two people in the hall, picked up the handwritten letter handed over by his master, looked at the two and said, "Since the plaintiff didn't come, but I have checked Knowing that you are innocent, after that, we will post big-character posters at the gate of the government office to prove your innocence."

Regarding the handling of the magistrate, Tang Xiaobao nodded in agreement, although Ji Ling also agreed, but after thinking about it for a while, he still felt that this matter was a bit strange.

Even if the witnesses have not come together, the procedures that should be followed still have to be followed.Read out the appeal between the two, and then tell the results of the inspection.The cakes brought did not have any ingredients that could kill people, and Chen Pi's younger brother was not poisoned to death. Finally, it was determined that Tang Xiaobao's shop had nothing to do with Chen Pi's death.Afterwards, a special person will be sent to tell Chen Pi who was unable to come, if Chen Pi still makes trouble with this matter in the future, he will be punished for a serious crime of disrespect.

For this result, Tang Xiaobao was very satisfied, and happily took the official seal stamped bulletin he obtained and went back, thinking about posting this thing at the door of his shop on the way.If the tangerine peel wanted to blackmail him, he would smash the thing in his face and kick him out with justification.

Compared to Tang Xiaobao's simple thinking, Ji Ling was a little uneasy, but looked at the happy Tang Xiaobao, after all, he still didn't say what he thought.

Originally thought that this incident would pass like this, but what he didn't expect was that a few days later, the news of Chen Pi's death came.

The first time Ji Ling learned about this, the pen that was writing in Ji Ling's hand paused, leaving an ink dot on the white paper, which looked very dazzling.After being silent for a few seconds, he said to Feng Ling who came to pass the letter: "Don't tell the young lady about this, find someone to protect him, let him watch in the market, if there is anything bad to say, immediately Just pinch the signs. Also, find someone to keep an eye on my second brother, I think it's time for me to go see him sometime."

As if thinking of something, Feng Ling froze for a moment, then nodded and left.

Ji Ling looked at the waste paper in front of her, but didn't care much, snorted softly, crumpled the paper up and threw it into a basket not far away.

Just as Ji Ling expected, on the second day after Chen Pi's death, some unfavorable rumors spread, but they were discovered in time, so they didn't spread much.

Under such circumstances, Ji Ling sent Tang Xiaobao out as usual, leaving the matter at hand to the servants around him, and then took Feng Ling to find his second brother.

Seeing his elder brother, Ji Tao first had a flash of panic in his eyes, then quickly put it away, looked at the person in front of him expressionlessly, and said in the same impatient tone as before, "I don't know if elder brother is here. What is the little brother's humble house for?"

Ji Ling stared at his younger brother in front of him, looked at his trembling hands even though he tried his best to conceal it, slightly hooked his lips, and said lightly: "I think you should be very clear about why I came here."
