"Indeed! What you said makes sense!" Gao Zhili touched his chin and nodded.

"Now that the case has been closed, how can we investigate it?" Qi Min frowned.

"I want to meet this actor."

. . .

The next morning, Su Qinchao and others followed Wang Jizhou into the county prison and met the actor.

"She is indeed a rare beauty!" Su Qinchao looked the actor up and down carefully.

He has almond eyes, rosy cheeks, and a charming look. Even though he is in prison now, he still has a pitiful demeanor.

This appearance, this figure, and this temperament are rare even among women. No wonder so many powerful people in Yangzhou Prefecture are jealous of him.

"Don't be a fangirl again!" Qi Min rolled her eyes at Su Qinchao in annoyance.

It was Ali who told him this word, and she often told him that Su Qinchao loved looking at beautiful women the most, and that was called being a nymphomaniac.

"Everyone loves beauty. What did I do wrong?" Su Qinchao retorted. He just looked at it and didn't even touch it.

"Okay, let's go in and question him first." Gao Zhili stopped the verbal quarrel between the two and asked Wang Jizhou to drive away the jailer. Then he opened the cell door and walked in first.

"Are you Xingxian?" Gao Zhili stood at the door, looking at the actor named Xingxian who was huddled in the corner.

His eyes were extremely gentle, and he was wearing a moon-white gown that set off his handsome and elegant face, making him look like a god descending to earth.

"..." Xingxian stared at him straight but didn't say a word.

"How about I do it?" Su Qinchao looked at the quiet inside and was about to go in to help when he saw that Xingxian finally responded.

I saw him slowly kneeling on the ground, moving towards Gao Zhili little by little, until he touched the white satin upper of Gao Zhili's shoes, and finally stopped.

"Is the immortal here to pick me up?" Xingxian looked up, tears slowly gathering in her beautiful eyes. She looked extremely pitiful.

"But you can't become an immortal by killing people!" Gao Zhili narrowed his eyes and agreed with what he said.

"Is it not okay even though I killed a bad guy?" Xingxian's face was full of disbelief.

"Why do you say that the Governor of the Grand Canal is a bad person? Whether he is a bad person or not will be judged by the Samsara Realm."

"He was corrupt! He also took human life lightly and allowed his servants to ride horses in the street, trampling my sister to death." Xingxian said gritting her teeth.

"Didn't you tell the military officer of justice a few days ago that you couldn't stand the Governor of the Grand Canal's many tricks?"

"Shh! The adult told me not to tell the truth, otherwise it would harm the troupe!" Xingxian widened her eyes, put her fingers on her lips and made a soft hushing sound.

"Which sir?" Gao Zhili's eyes suddenly lit up when he heard his words. It seemed that there was something hidden.

"Lord Wang Jizhou."

"Is it him?" Gao Zhili walked to the side, revealing Wang Jizhou behind him. At this time, Wang Jizhou also looked confused.

"No, that Lord Wang is very dark and tall! Every time he torments me, I have to lie on the couch for a long, long time." When she said this, Xingxian was still shaking with fear.

"It seems that he has mental problems!" Su Qinchao, who was standing outside the cell, sighed and looked at Xingxian who was curled up in a ball inside with reluctance. She was so pitiful.

"Yes! I heard from the judicial officer that he was fine the day he was arrested. He might have been scared in jail these two days." Wang Jizhou walked out, looked at Xingxian and shook his head.

It turned out that Xingxian was a famous actor in Yangzhou Prefecture. Although he didn't like it, he had invited him to sing on the old lady's birthday.

He was so handsome on the stage then, but now he has become like this crazy person.

"We need to ask someone to move him to a cleaner cell, so that he won't get bullied any more. I have something else to ask him later." After Gao Zhili comforted Xingxian, he followed out.

"Who is the fake Wang Jizhou he just mentioned? Do you know him?" After returning to the prefectural government office, Su Qinchao couldn't help but ask Wang Jizhou.

"It's the prefect above!" Wang Jizhou looked around and said in a low voice.

The governor of Yangzhou usually pretends to be an impartial judge, but I didn't expect that he was so frivolous in private.

The key is that they are still using his name, which makes him feel very panicked. He is afraid that if there is any crime in the future, it will be his fault.

Thinking of this, Wang Jizhou couldn't help but shudder.

When he looked at the three people around him, a glimmer of hope rekindled in his heart. He just realized that Gao Zhili had come down this time with a secret order.

If he can bring down those people who have been above him and doing whatever they want this time, he will have a lot to do in the future, and he won't be tied down in this position for several years in a row.

"Then why did the prefect tell Xingxian not to tell the truth?" This was the point that Gao Zhili wanted to disagree with the most. They were going to die anyway, so why couldn't they tell the truth?

"It seems that this prefect is a cousin of the gate officer of the Maritime Customs." Qi Min, who had been standing nearby and remained silent, suddenly spoke up.

"That means there is a big problem, maybe even so big that it requires the death of a governor of the Grand Canal to resolve the problem." Su Qinchao made a bold guess.

"It's possible too. Xingxian also said that the Governor of Grand Canal Transport is a corrupt official. Then we can go to the Governor's Office and check the account books to find out!" Thinking of this, Wang Jizhou's eyes lit up.

Therefore, the four people who had just stepped into the prefectural government office turned around and rushed to the governor's mansion.

However, they arrived too late. The Governor's Mansion had already been emptied, especially the study, where not even a piece of paper was left.

"We are too late!" Wang Jizhou sighed as he looked at the empty Governor's Mansion.

"No, this reminds us what to do! You don't have to worry about it. When the time comes, you will know it naturally."

Su Qin shook his head with a chuckle and gave Gao Zhili and Qi Min a look, the meaning of which was self-evident.

. . .

After returning to the inn, Su Qin quickly took out the package containing Qi Min's nightgown from under the bed and handed it to him.

Today, Qi Min even changed into casual clothes and wore a mask to follow them into the county prison.

"You mean me again?" Qi Min put his hands behind his back and refused to take it.

"I'll go with you!" Su Qinchao rolled his eyes, stuffed the bag into his hands, and took out a set of night clothes from under the bed.

"Then where should I go?" Gao Zhili looked at them.

"Sit and wait for news! If you're really bored, you can ask the waiter to cook for you and prepare the ingredients. When we get back in the middle of the night and get hungry, you can still eat them hot!"

Su Qinchao quickly changed into his night clothes, hesitated for a while, and finally put on his back the spear that had been cut into three parts, then opened the window and checked the sky outside.

"No need to look. It's not even the hour of Xu yet." Qi Min casually threw the package on the bed and lay down on it. He planned to take a rest and change when the time came.

After another hour and a half, when almost all the lights outside were off, Su Qinchao followed Qi Min and the dog out of the door.
