Translator: 549690339

Liu Xu had originally planned to leave, but after hearing Xu Bail s words, she stopped and looked over in confusion.

“Is there anything else?”

Xu Bai stretched out his hands and gestured.” Next time, when you hide your identity, remember to wrap a piece of cloth around your chest. Otherwise, you’ll be easily exposed.’”‘

As soon as he finished speaking, a page flew past and was inserted into the corner of the wall.

Xu Bai was nowhere to be seen, leaving only Liu Xu standing there, her teeth clenched.

She waved her hand, and the pages in the corner returned to the book.

“I thought he was a hero, but I didn’t expect him to be a prodigal!”

She spat lightly and left the street.

Before she left, Liu Xu lowered her head and looked at the spectacular scene before her. She thought of what she had said before.

“Perhaps what he said is right. I have to think of a way the next time I disguise myself…”

After Liu Xu left, the street finally became quiet again. Other than a few cats meowing, no one else appeared.

The next day.

Magistrate Zhang has been in a good mood recently.

Actually, he had always been in a good mood. It was just that his mood had gotten better recently.

Ever since he came out of the academy on Nanhua Road and was admitted to an official position, he felt that his future was beyond control.

Although he was assigned to Sheng County in the end and was located in a remote area, he could cover the sky with one hand.

The mountains were high and the emperor was far away. This sentence was not wrong at all to describe him.

Many people were unwilling to become officials in remote places, but he was different.

The more remote the place was, the less attention the person in the capital could get. Being the head of a chicken was better than being the tail of a

phoenix.

Back then, when he came to Sheng County, all kinds of wealthy merchants in

Sheng County fawned over him, which really allowed him to earn a lot.

Studying?

Read my ass.

He was very self-aware that being a Rank-8 scholar was already his limit.

There was no hope for him to go any higher.

Instead of struggling, it was better to enjoy it.

He had thought that the following days would be smooth sailing.

However, Lin Manor seemed to have some opinions about him some time ago.

To be precise, it was not that she had any objections, but that she felt that there was no benefit in interacting with him.

Among the wealthy merchants in Sheng County, the Lin Manor was considered one of the best. They had to come to his place every month to offer offerings.

However, as time passed, he felt that he would not be of much use.

In fact, the county magistrate also felt that this matter was very unjust.

No one had offended the Lin Manor in the first place, and the Lin Manor itself had nothing to ask of him. Of course, he could not do anything.

Seeing that the relationship between the two sides was becoming increasingly dull, County Magistrate Zhang had been pondering how to smooth out this relationship.

Coincidentally, the previous murder happened.

County Magistrate Zhang really did smooth things out.

“This time, the Lin Manor will understand everything I’ve done. They also know that our relationship can’t be broken. “County Magistrate Zhang thought as the corners of his mouth curled up slightly.

As for the three lives…

How could there be no deaths in this day and age?

The commoners ‘memories were short-lived. In a few months, the storm of this matter would be over. They would randomly find a prisoner to be the young master of the Lin family, and everything would be calm.

Could it be that the Emperor could find him?

Thinking of this, County Magistrate Zhang became even happier. He even walked more briskly and hummed a tune.

“Sir, bad news!”

At this moment, the bailiff outside the door suddenly ran in. There was panic in his eyes that could not be concealed. When he passed by the threshold, he was knocked down and fell to the ground.

“How can you be so flustered! “County Magistrate Zhang immediately put away the joy on his face and reprimanded him in a serious tone.

The bailiff was shocked by Magistrate Zhang’s expression. He quickly got up from the ground, tidied his clothes, and pretended to be calm.

“What is it?” County Magistrate Zhang picked up the tea on the table and took a sip.

Good tea!

If he hadn’t been promoted to a county and become an official in other places, how could he have enjoyed such good tea?

“Young Master Lin…Lin Fenghua is dead!” The bailiff hurriedly said,” Sir, you said that if there were any cases, you would let us investigate first. We didn’t want to disturb your sleep, so we sent a coroner over first. After investigation, we found out that it was…”

“What is it?” County Magistrate Zhang raised his eyelids. He had yet to react to who it was.

“It’s because Lin Fenghua and the courtesan of the Spring Rain Pavilion are playing red rope…Too excited…He’s dead…” The bailiff stuttered as he talked about this.

He had seen so many bailiffs for so many years, but this was the first time he had seen someone die like this.

“So that’s how it is…” County Magistrate Zhang took another sip of tea. Suddenly, the teacup in his hand stopped. He finally reacted.” Who did you say died?””

“Lin… Lin Fenghua…” The bailiff lowered his head and stammered.

“Pa da!”

The teacup fell to the ground with a crisp sound.

“Let’s go! Go to the Lin Manor!” County Magistrate Zhang quickly got up and headed to the Lin Manor.

This was one of his stable meal tickets. He could not mess it up.

The Lin Manor was filled with wails.

A middle-aged woman in gorgeous clothes knelt on the ground and cried.

There was a table beside him, and on it lay Lin Fenghua’s corpse, covered with a white cloth.

Beside the table, the gorgeous woman from the Spring Rain Pavilion was tied up with a rope.

“Sir, you have to stand up for us. It’s all this woman’s fault for killing my child.”Father Lin pointed at Spring Rain Pavilion’s Courtesan Belle and said through gritted teeth.

“Milord, he died from overexcitement. This has nothing to do with me.”Hua Kui was already scared to death. When he heard Father Lin’s accusation, he quickly explained.

County Magistrate Zhang’s expression was extremely ugly. He turned around to look at the surrounding commoners and said to the bailiffs beside him, “Disperse the people first. Don’t let them watch.””

When the bailiffs heard this, they quickly did as he said and coaxed the surrounding onlookers away.

After the onlookers were coaxed away, County Magistrate Zhang waved his hand and said, “Put Hua Kui in prison and deal with him on another day.”” Two bailiffs stepped forward and escorted the dejected Hua Kui away.

“Sir, you say… Pick a day to deal with it?” Although Lin Fu was sad, he understood the meaning behind it.

“Your son died from overexcitement, but it wasn’t Hua Kui’s doing. I’ll lock her up for a few days. “County Magistrate Zhang said indifferently. Lin Fu was stunned, and a surprised expression appeared on his face.

“Spring Rain Pavilion is owned by the ninth princess of the capital and is spread all over the country. You should know that without concrete evidence, I can’t convict you.”County Magistrate Zhang said. Lin Fu was stunned and could only nod subconsciously.

He knew about the Ninth Princess.

It was said that the ninth princess was not very powerful in the capital, so she opened a place of romance, and the emperor did not care.

But… Wasn’t she a frustrated princess?

Lin Fu could not understand, and his eyes turned red.

“Don’t mention this matter again. I’ll leave first.”County Magistrate Zhang waved his sleeves, interrupted Lin Fu, and turned to leave.

He left very decisively, like a completely different person from before.

Now that Lin Fenghua was dead, County Magistrate Zhang reckoned that Lin Fu would no longer fawn over him. Moreover, he even wanted him to convict the Courtesan Belle. He felt that there was no need to befriend him anymore.

To avoid getting into trouble.

A frustrated princess?

Hehehe…

Only they knew that the Ninth Princess was a frustrated princess on the surface, but she was actually the Emperor’s right-hand man.

As for why he was his right-hand man.

This matter had to start from the current situation of Great Chu..
