Seeing how confident she was, the lawyer felt unsure and hesitant. After all, this matter was too mysterious.

The scholar said: "This girl sells pork. If she doesn't feel right when eating, then there is a problem. It won't take much effort to check. What if it is true?

I have read in ancient books that if you eat human flesh, your eyeballs will turn red, your body will rot, and you will become a living dead..."

Shen Nanzhi was shocked: "Wouldn't that make them zombies? It's not that serious. Cannibalism is indeed bad for the body, but it's not that exaggerated. It's okay if you eat less."

The scholar was helpless: "So do you really want to investigate the case?"

"I think we should go and ask the county magistrate for help. If it's too late, all the buns will be sold out and we won't be able to get them back."

"Okay, I'll be there right away, you guys wait."

The master's thin legs moved so quickly that Shen Nanzhi was envious. It would be great if she had a figure like the master's.

The scholar hadn't left yet, Shen Nanzhi was surprised: "Aren't you busy? What's your name? Why are you following me?"

Scholar: "..."

Why is this girl destroying the bridge after crossing it?

"My name is Xia Cheng, with the courtesy name Zhiran. I am a student of Qingfeng Academy and have passed the test for boys. I am a student. I followed the girl because I wanted to get to the bottom of this case. After all, it is horrifying. I have no intentions towards her.

But, I have helped you to lead the way, so don’t burn bridges after crossing the river.”

"Qingfeng Academy? I know that."

Jiang Chen was also in this academy. She was familiar with the place and had been there many times. However, every time she met Jiang Chen, she would go to a remote grove at the back door. After she gave him money and food, he would drive her away because she was afraid of being embarrassed by being seen by her classmates.

Maybe he tells others that he is single.

Since she had nothing to do, she asked, "Do you know Jiang Chen?"

"Brother Jiang, I know him. He has passed the imperial examination and is a top-class student in the academy. I am ashamed of myself."

Jiang Chen was quite famous. After all, it was rare for a county town to have a scholar. A scholar could become a minor official or a teacher to teach students. Even if he failed to pass the imperial examination, his life would not be too bad.

"Good talent and learning do not necessarily mean good character."

"Do you know Brother Jiang?"

Shen Nanzhi asked: "Did Jiang Chen tell me about his family's situation?"

"No, it's not gentlemanly to pry into someone's privacy."

"Haha, then you are gentlemen for making fun of and humiliating a girl."

Fang Cheng blushed: "I've already apologized, please don't hold on to it."

"You can't make up for your mistake just by apologizing."

As they were talking, the county magistrate finally came out, accompanied by a dozen runners. He had a round complexion and thick ears, a look of good fortune.

It's plump and white, and it seems that it eats well.

"It's her."

"Girl, if you talk nonsense, you will be beaten. Have you thought it through?"

Shen Nanzhi stuffed the bun in his hand to him and said in a neither humble nor arrogant manner: "Sir County Magistrate, if you say so, then just pretend I'm not here. Goodbye."

The county magistrate was stunned. "Come back."

Shen Nanzhi refused to listen. He reported the case with good intentions, but you are threatening people. You can tell at first glance that you are a corrupt official.

Magistrate Cao had never met anyone with such a bad temper. He stamped his feet in anger and said, "How can I say anything to you? Hurry up and chase him back to ask for clarification."

The master hurriedly chased after him and apologized. After much persuasion, Shen Nanzhi finally came back and said, "I bought it from the steamed bun stand in front of the Yangchun noodle stand. Go grab it yourselves.

If I solve such a big case, will you give me a reward? I have a family and children. What if the murderer finds out and takes revenge on me?"

The county magistrate wanted to speak in an official tone, after all, the county government was not rich, but Shen Nanzhi's little eyes were filled with murderous intent, so he changed his words and said, "Of course there are rewards, based on the merits, but if it is a misunderstanding, you will also be fined."

"It's not fair. If this continues, who would want to be a caring citizen? Sir, if you want to be a good official, you must be fair, just, and tolerant."

"you……"

Magistrate Cao was so angry that he laughed, and she even taught herself how to do things.

"Forget it, arresting people is more important."

Magistrate Cao was no fool. He asked the officers to arrest the man and he followed behind, ready to slip away if anything went wrong.

Master Mao followed behind Magistrate Cao, and Fang Cheng followed behind Shen Nanzhi. He felt safer following Shen Nanzhi.

There were quite a few people at the bun stall, and the police were not stupid. They pretended to be on patrol, and when they got close, they surrounded them and said, "Someone reported that there is something wrong with your buns. Come with us."

The bun stall owner had an honest look on his face. He was not very tall, and was as stocky as Wu Dalang, but he was taller, about 1.65 meters.

The stall owner panicked and said, "How could this happen? I've been selling buns for many years and never had any problems. Is it that my peers are deliberately trying to discredit me? Officer, you better investigate this."

The officer also felt that he didn't look like a murderer, so he said, "It's always better to check it out. If you're fine, we'll let you go. The master won't wrongly accuse you. Let's go."

"Hey, good."

The stall owner was quite happy to pack up his things and leave.

Lord Cao breathed a sigh of relief and said, the world is peaceful and it is not a year of famine, who would sell human meat buns?

"Girl, I'm afraid you've made a mistake..."

Before he could finish his words, another accident happened over there. The bun shop owner suddenly poured boiling hot water all around. The police and the people who were watching the fun all scattered, and many were accidentally injured.

"Stop, don't run."

Magistrate Cao was quickly slapped in the face and was speechless, not knowing what to say.

Shen Nanzhi laughed loudly, like a group of ducks.

But the laughter was so loud that the stall owner saw Magistrate Cao and came straight towards him.

"Ah, ah, ah, don't come over here!"

Shen Nanzhi ran away first, but did not forget to pull Fang Cheng away. This kid has a good heart and does not look down on her, so he is worth helping.

Magistrate Cao was left standing there, still in his official uniform. The stall owner pulled out a dagger and held him hostage.

The accident happened so quickly, like a tornado. Everyone was unable to avoid it and watched helplessly as the county magistrate became a hostage.

"The county magistrate must not have checked the almanac before he went out. He was arrested. Tsk tsk, how unlucky he is."

Fang Cheng was still terrified: "Can you say less? Aren't the officers staring at us?"

The officer stared at Shen Nanzhi, "Can't you just take the county magistrate away? You're protecting this useless scholar, but the key is that no one would take him as a hostage. What should we do now?"

Fang Cheng was dissatisfied. What's wrong with being a scholar? Why do you discriminate against scholars?

Shen Nanzhi was even more unhappy. "So you won't save the scholar when he's being held hostage? There's something wrong with your awareness as a police officer.

The emperor also said that if the emperor breaks the law, he will be punished just like the common people. This means that the emperor and the common people are equally important. They are all human lives and should be taken seriously. "

The officer was in a dilemma: "I understand. Can you please shut up?"

He was afraid. Although the girl was ugly, she was very eloquent.
