"Then, why does this prefect of Luhuaide Lu have so little suspicion?"

"Before my lord came, I heard Uncle Day...cough cough, I heard Lord Long talk about the deeds of that Lu Zhizhou."

"That Lu Zhizhou has already become famous before he became the Zhizhou. He is good at investigating all kinds of difficult cases. He is upright and upright as an official. Long Jun even met him personally. This is also the first time he sent the court to the court. news."

"... is good at tracking down difficult cases. Then why didn't he find out about the three county magistrates?"

Kelsey was right in his words and asked the most critical questions.

"Adults don't know."

Bai Zhi said again:

"It's not that Zhizhou Lu didn't investigate, but that the appearance of these three incidents was indeed an accident."

"Let's talk about that Gu Zhixian first. He died of acute ore disease, and his whole body was blown up to ashes. Even if there is a wrong, there is no way to find out."

"The death of Meizhi County is even more bizarre. Everyone knows that he could not have died from a fall, but the autopsy report passed on by Wu Zuo showed that it was indeed a fall, and there was no sign of poisoning or drinking in the body. .”

"As for Mengzhi County... He was the last Jinshi of the new department. He was in his prime of life. He chose Meixian County because of the retrial of Meizhi County's fall and death case. I heard that when he left, he was still in the court. The oath of never turning back until the case is solved. Now...it's a pity that the blood is full..."

Bai Zhi sighed regretfully.

"From this point of view, this trip to Mei County is indeed full of difficulties."

Having said that, Kelsey has already made some guesses.

"Since that's the case, the only place we can get it now is the prefect of Meng County."

"But how should we go? As far as I know, the body of the magistrate of Meng County has been moved to the county government to be worshiped by everyone. When I go, I can only offer incense, and I can't do anything."

"There is no need to worry. Your Highness has already expected this."

Kelsey took out her official credentials.

"Based on my identity written on it, this official is the Jinshi of the same period in Mengzhi County."

"My lord, do you mean... to pretend to be a classmate of Meng Zhi County, or a friend to worship?"

Although it was said that everyone went to offer incense and worship, Bai Zhi knew that if it was just ordinary people, they might not even be able to enter the gate of the county government, and only those with status could go in and pay some money for two rounds before leaving.

But this thing is used like this, isn't it a surprise?

"There is no need to show this official certificate. We only need to report the status of Jinshi in Shendu, and they will naturally let us in."

"But... will they really believe it?"

Mei Wanniang asked with some concern.

"They don't care about the authenticity of this identity. Those small officials in remote places, even some county magistrates, would never dare to stop a Jinshi. After all, they are not afraid of ten thousand, just in case. In case If it’s true, wouldn’t it be bad luck.”

Bai Zhi solved the confusion for her.

"So that's the case, it's just..."

Mei Wanniang still couldn't let go.

She understands the truth, but what if those people are too scared to kill?

Although the two female officers in front of her are smart, they don't look very capable of fighting, and the one named Pei Jue outside doesn't look very strong either. It would be a great fortune for Jiang Yi alone to protect her. Surrounded by those wicked people, wouldn't they be like sheep falling into a tiger's mouth?

"What? This girl doesn't seem to have confidence in my strength."

Bai Zhi saw through Wanniang's worries at a glance.

"No, it's just that there are a lot of them, and... there are bandits on the mountain near Meicheng, if they join forces with the bandits..."

The little thought was seen through, Mei Wanniang blushed, and hurriedly defended herself.

"Hahaha, it's just bandits. I don't know how many of them I have dealt with."

Bai Zhi didn't care, but told her about his brilliant achievements with great interest.

After all, that idiot Pei Jue only knows how to hum, so if you tell him, it's better to tease the dog.And Kelsey is her boss now, she would brag to her boss only if she is stupid.Then the only one who can let her talk is this Wan Niang.

back to 24 into the city

"Mr. Long, the special envoys of the Eastern Kingdom have arrived at the Jinluan Hall, and they presented the covenant to His Majesty."

Jin Lin, who was in the feeding pool, heard the words, threw down the handful of food in his hand, and then said:

"How did His Majesty respond?"

"Your Majesty agreed to form an alliance to fight against the evil spirits with the Eastern Kingdom."

"How is the repair of Changyuan? If it can't operate normally before the Dongguo's defense line is broken, it will cause a lot of trouble at that time."

"The repair of Changyuan is almost complete, and we can fight back only when the evil spirits come."

"only……"

"Just how?"

The guard immediately replied:

"It's just that those Dongguo people want Dayan to send troops to help them."

"send troops……"

A handful of well-developed scale food was thrown into the pool, and immediately attracted a large number of golden scales to compete for food.

"Ah."

A sneer flashed on Bai Tian's lips.

"The power of demons comes from human cognition. The more people who understand them, the stronger they will be."

"It's been so many years, and those barbarians still can't learn their lesson. If I, Dayan, send troops to join him, the casualties will be far more than their own country."

"The catastrophe that happened to my grandfather at that time will never happen again in Gu's generation."

"However... if you don't send troops, you will definitely be gossiped by those guys behind your back. Although it is not a serious problem, if mosquitoes and flies are buzzing around your ears day and night, it will be difficult to stop."

"Let's go and meet His Majesty."

Putting the scale food away, Bai Tian got up and walked towards the main hall of the Dragon Palace, while the imperial guard quietly retreated into the shadows, not knowing what to do.

"This little brother, please stay!"

Pei Jue greeted a passerby, who stopped when he heard the call, and pointed at himself suspiciously.

"Yes! It's you, brother. Excuse me, find out if there is an inn in this city."

Pei Jue walked up to him, but was rejected before he finished asking.

"According to the accent, you are from a foreign country."

"Oh, yes...why..."

As soon as Pei Jue's words came out of his mouth, the other party's face immediately changed, and he turned around and left quickly without saying a word.

"Huh? I didn't ask anything."

He looked back into the car suspiciously.

"It seems that the water in Meicheng is deeper than we thought."

"Wherever we pass, it is said that Meicheng is a demonic ghost town, and there are indeed ghosts hiding in it. As soon as we entered the city, we were spotted by the other party's eyes."

Kelsey, who had been staring at the outside world, was talking to several people, while drawing down the curtain,

"Then what should we do, my lord?"

Bai Zhi frowned and asked.

If this is the case, they will lose the advantage of being in the dark immediately, and it will be difficult for them to have the opportunity to find out the identity of the enemy.

"We're not going to the inn."

Kelsey looked at Bai Zhi, who immediately understood.

"Old Pei, change the way and go to the county government office!"

"County yamen? But, if those people are really from the county yamen, wouldn't we be dying if we go to that black yamen now?"

Mei Wanniang hadn't turned around yet, so why did she still go despite knowing the danger?

"Don't be afraid, Wanniang, as the saying goes, the most dangerous place is the safest place."

Bai Zhi opened her mouth to explain their approach to her.

"In this county, we may be attacked no matter where we are. Even if we have three heads and six arms, it is difficult to guard against back arrows, but we are the safest only in the county government."

"As long as we show up publicly in the county government, they will not dare to do anything."

"Because they have to avoid suspicion."

"Baizhi is right. But we didn't go there just for safety."

Kelsey added:

"If the other party is really a member of the county government and dares to fight there, we can take advantage of the situation and subdue them directly."

"I see."

The little girl is not stupid either, she immediately figured it out when the two said this.

And at this moment, in the Meicheng County Yamen.

"Cough cough!"

A scholar-like Volper walked down the hall, pinched his throat and coughed twice,

"Oh, master, what's the matter?"

Hearing the cough, two Volpers, one fat and one thin, immediately came up to him and greeted him.

The scholar looked around and whispered in front of the two:

"Tonight, someone came to express condolences to the souls of Guzhi County."

"Yo! This... this..."

The two looked at each other in surprise, and finally the fat man asked:

"Hey, the head of the family. Didn't you say that there are no relatives in Guzhi County's family?"

"Yes!"

The thin man agreed incomprehensibly.

"Tsk, oops. I said that your brains are filled with paste or tofu!"

The scholar looked at them with hatred.

"It is precisely because there are no relatives in Guzhi County that the imperial court will send someone here."

"Oh, right."

The scholar said again:

"Don't call me the head of the family in the future, we are not those gangsters who don't know how to do it."

"Hey, yes, yes, the head of the house."

The fat man said it smoothly, but the thin man immediately yelled at him to make him change his words.

"Ahem, that, my lord."

The scholar nodded slightly, and the fat man immediately asked:

"As for the imperial court, if someone is sent to investigate the cause of Guzhi County's death...will it..."

"Could it be something?"

The scholar raised his head and squinted at him.

"I think you have ghosts in your heart."

"No no no!"

Being scolded by him like this, the fat man lowered his head with a smirk.

"The little one doesn't do anything wrong, so there's no ghost in his heart."

"Yes, there is no ghost in my heart, and there is no ghost in our heart."
