After she became a county magistrate, she took the ghost to investigate the case

At noon, Shen Xin, who was on the road, also received the news that Shen Baiyan was arrested.

Fortunately, before he had walked far, Shen Xin hurried back.

He only had this one son and he had loved him terribly since he was a child. Although he knew that his son had committed an unforgivable crime this time, he could not bear to watch his son being beheaded.

Shen Xin thought of many ways to save Shen Baiyan, but they were all blocked by Xu Yingying.

In desperation, he had to condescend to come to the yamen in person to ask to see Xu Yingying.

But who is Xu Yingying? Can you meet her whenever you want?

Three days later.

Xu Yingying was sitting in the backyard of the government office, drinking tea and reading a book. Xiao Si, who was outside the door, walked in again and said, "Sir, Shen Xin is here again today."

Xu Yingying said "oh" to indicate that she understood, and then continued reading without even raising her head.

Seeing this, the servant knew what to do. He touched his nose and thought that it seemed that Shen Xin was going to do useless work again today.

After he left, Taohua approached Xu Yingying and asked curiously, "Sir, why didn't you order the killing of that bastard? Are you afraid of Shen Xin?"

Xu Yingying slowly turned a page of the book, "What do you think?"

"Of course I know that you are not that kind of person, but Shen Xin is indeed powerful..." Taohua said as if she wanted to say something but hesitated.

Xu Yingying glanced at her and said, "Are you trying to say that I'm the kind of person who is afraid of death?"

"Of course I'm not. I just don't understand why adults do this." Taohua explained.

"Really want to know?"

"Yeah." Taohua nodded.

"I was thinking, although we found several female corpses in Shen Baiyan's home, how can we know who these female corpses are?"

Taohua immediately said, "We can just ask these female ghosts directly. If it's inconvenient for you, I can ask for you..."

"Idiot." Xu Yingying closed the book and hit Taohua on the head. "Do I want to know it myself? I want everyone to know it."

"Oh..." Taohua pouted in grievance, "...then I'm afraid we can only wait until they are buried and let everyone see them on the tombstones."

"tombstone?"

Xu Yingying's eyes suddenly lit up, "That's a good idea!"

That afternoon, Xu Yingying ordered the yamen runners to post big-character posters at the gate of the yamen and other conspicuous places in the city, asking families with missing women to come and claim the bodies.

Unexpectedly, just as the message was sent out, the yamen runners came back with the prepared big-character posters.

"Why don't you go and post it?" Xu Yingying asked puzzledly.

The yamen runner said aggrievedly, "Sir, it's not that we don't want to post it, but that Shen Xin heard the news from somewhere, and he sent people to follow us wherever we go."

"As soon as we put up our big-character posters, they took them down. After half a day, our arms were so tired that they almost broke, but not a single citizen saw the news!"

Hearing this, Xu Yingying was so angry that she laughed.

"Okay, okay! Shen Xin, you are awesome! Someone, tell Shen Xin that I am willing to meet him!"

Xu Yingying had a sneer on her face, but anger was rising in her heart.

Li Siqi watched coldly from the side. He wanted to see whether this county magistrate was truly honest and upright.

Shen Xin arrived very quickly. In less than a quarter of an hour, he was already waiting in the backyard of the yamen. It seemed that he had made preparations in advance.

The moment he saw Xu Yingying appear, Shen Xin knelt down respectfully and bowed to her, "I, Shen Xin, come to see the county magistrate."

Xu Yingying was wearing her official uniform. She lifted her robe and sat on the chair. After a long while, she said, "Get up."

Shen Xin was not annoyed. He staggered to his feet, took a bundle from the follower beside him, and put it directly on the table next to Xu Yingying.

"Sir, I heard that my son had made you angry, so I rushed back without stopping. These things are my token of appreciation, and they can be considered as my apology to you on my son's behalf. I hope you can show mercy and let my son live."

Xu Yingying raised her eyelids slightly, looked at Shen Xin and asked with a half-smile, "You made me angry? Did Mr. Shen say something wrong?"

"Oh, look at me," Shen Xin slapped himself in a pretentious manner.

"When you get old, you tend to forget things. I heard about my son's case. It was just a love affair between a man and a woman. They fell in love and caused some harm to the other party. Don't worry, I have sent people to comfort their families, and I have given this amount to each family."

Shen Xin raised his hand and a slap appeared in front of Xu Yingying's eyes.

He chuckled again and said, "As long as you agree, I will make sure these families are satisfied."

Xu Yingying sneered, "It seems you are quite willing to give it up."

"These are all external possessions," Shen Xin said as he opened the package he had placed on the table.

Real gold, silver, pearls, agates, a pile of yellow and white things were instantly exposed in front of Xu Yingying.

"As long as you nod, all these things are yours. Of course, if there are not enough things, you can ask for them. As long as you want, I, Shen Xin, will go through fire and water to get them for you!"

When Li Siqi heard this, his eyes fell on Xu Yingying's face at the first moment.

The value of these things is self-evident. It can be said that this small county magistrate could not earn these things even if he saved his entire life's salary without eating or drinking.

He just didn't believe that she could really bear it.

But to his disappointment, Xu Yingying was not interested in these things, but was angry, "It seems that your Shen family is really dirty from the same lineage."

"No wonder your son did such a heinous thing. Do you know how many lives you have harmed? Do you know how many families he has harmed? There was even a pregnant woman among them! Do you think a person like him deserves to live in this world?"

The more Xu Yingying spoke, the more excited she became, and the glare she gave Shen Xin became more and more fierce!

Shen Xin gasped when he saw her and fell into a chair beside him.

"If you still have a trace of humanity left in you, take these things back. I tell you, there is no need to discuss Shen Baiyan's case. I will make him pay for his blood debt with blood!"

Shen Xin licked his lips, "What if I don't agree?"

"Then let's do it to you too!" Xu Yingying said without hesitation.

Shen Xin's eyes flickered slightly, "Young people should not speak too radically. I advise you to think more about everything."

Xu Yingying pursed her lips, "What do you mean by that?"

"It's nothing, I just want you to think about it."

After Shen Xin finished speaking, he stood up and was about to leave without waiting for Xu Yingying to say anything else.

Xu Yingying grabbed the bundle on the table, tied up the yellow and white things again in a few seconds, and threw it at Shen Xin's feet.

"You forgot to take this pile of garbage with you when you left!"

Shen Xin didn't say anything. He lowered his head to pick up the bag and left without looking back.

Li Siqi didn't expect that Xu Yingying really kept her word. She was not tempted at all by so much gold.

Could it be that he is really an honest and upright person rarely seen in history?

After Xu Yingying and Shen Xin had a complete falling out, they ordered people to post big-character posters in the downtown area again. If anyone else took them down this time, they would be asked to stand in the downtown area and read them out directly.

She just didn't believe that Shen Xin's people could post big-character posters, so could they shut up the yamen runners?

But what she didn't expect was that Shen Xin changed his strategy this time.

The next day, one of his subordinates came to report that all the grain and oil stores in the city were closed and would no longer sell grain to the people!
