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

Xu Yingying frowned after hearing this, then turned around and waved to Wu Da, saying, "Go check what's going on and why all the grain and oil stores were closed overnight."

"Yes, my lord."

Wu Da was extremely efficient and he had investigated the matter thoroughly in no time.

In the study room.

Wu Da looked at Xu Yingying with a strange expression.

Xu Yingying immediately felt something was wrong and said bluntly: "Just say whatever you want to say."

"Reporting to the Lord, the reason why all the oil and grain stores in the city were closed overnight is that these stores were opened by the Shen family. The Shen family is not only responsible for selling oil, grain, rice and noodles, but also some other common people's products."

"It's just that some small shops and some scattered vendors can temporarily replace other daily necessities, but oil, grain, rice and flour are indispensable for ordinary people to have three meals a day, so they are naturally indispensable."

Wu Da spoke to Xu Yingying in a rather helpless tone.

"Then does our county government have any savings? For example, money that can be used to help the people at critical moments." Xu Yingying looked at Wu Da and asked.

Wu Da smiled bitterly, shook his head helplessly and said, "Your Excellency, it is already a good thing that our wages as detectives are paid as usual every month. How can the county government have any extra money?"

Upon hearing this, Xu Yingying fell into silence. She had just taken office not long ago, and her salary was pitifully low. After all, this was a poor and remote place. How could the court pay her such a small official like her too much salary?

Even if she took out all the money she had now to buy food for the people, it would be a drop in the bucket and far from enough!

Just when Xu Yingying was feeling overwhelmed, Li Siqi appeared.

"Sir, what's wrong? Why do you look so sad?" Li Siqi asked puzzledly.

Xu Yingying dejectedly told Li Siqi the whole story.

After hearing this, Li Siqi smiled and said, "Why do we have to raise money? Doesn't the Shen family have ready-made money?"

"What do you mean? Are you saying that the Shen family will give me their own money to buy food to help the people? Isn't she crazy?" Xu Yingying said with a wry smile.

"Of course the Shen family is unwilling. Since they won't give it to us automatically, we can just go and get it ourselves." Li Siqi showed a meaningful smile.

"Ah? We go get it ourselves? That would be bad for the reputation of our county government! Wait... you mean... rob?" Xu Yingying gave a wicked smile.

"We are not robbing, that's called robbing the rich to help the poor. Doesn't the Shen family have a granary? We won't rob their money, we can just steal their rice warehouse. Then, we can take this opportunity to interrogate Shen Xin."

"After these days of secret investigation, I finally came to the conclusion that Shen Xin is not that simple. He and Shen Baiting are indeed father and son. They are birds of a feather and have harmed many women!"

"Even...they both played with the same woman. In short, the scale of their behavior is shocking!" Li Siqi said helplessly.

"Oh my god! Is this true? Is it that awesome?" Xu Yingying opened her mouth in surprise when she heard this. She was really surprised.

She really wanted to catch them one by one and listen to what the ancients said about their feudalism.

"Then how about this! Anyway, this father and son have done a lot of bad things. Why don't I gather some people to steal the thieves and sneak into the Shen Mansion at night, and then find some men to pretend to be ghosts and scare Shen Xin to see if I can get something out of him?"

Xu Yingying looked at Li Siqi and asked.

"Okay, let's do as you say!" Li Siqi nodded.

The two hit it off immediately and began preparing for action.

night.

Led by Li Siqi, a group of men in black, wearing black night clothes and veils covering their faces so that only their eyes were exposed, sneaked into the Shen Mansion.

After knocking out the patrolling guards of the Shen family and completely controlling the servants of the Shen family, Li Siqi allowed Xu Yingying to enter Shen Xin's room.

At this moment, Shen Xin was no longer the arrogant look he had before. Instead, he was tied up and fell to the ground like a dead dog.

As soon as Shen Xin saw Xu Yingying, he became very excited, but he couldn't speak because of the smelly socks stuffed in his mouth, so he could only stammer for a long time.

Xu Yingying waved her hand and said to her subordinates, "Take the contents out of his mouth. I want to see what he can say today."

"Yes, my lord."

After the smelly socks were taken out of Shen Xin's mouth, he couldn't wait to verbally abuse Xu Yingying.

"You dog official, you used despicable means to break into my Shen Mansion and captured my son while I was away. What on earth do you want to do by breaking into my mansion in the middle of the night? Do you take the court and the law seriously?"

"How can you take us Shen family seriously? What do you think of us Shen family? You can come and go as you please? Tomorrow I will go to Kaifeng Prefecture and file a complaint with the prefect, accusing you of abusing your power and bending the law for personal gain!"

Shen Xin spoke in a sonorous and powerful voice with a righteous look. If Xu Yingying and Li Siqi had not known what he had done, they would have been fooled by his appearance.

Xu Yingying snorted coldly when she heard this, and said disdainfully: "Did I arrest you by mistake? How funny."

"You have done so many evil things, you know it in your heart! How many of the dirty things Shen Baiting did to those innocent women did you participate in? Do you think I am a fool?"

Faced with Xu Yingying's questioning, the originally aggressive Shen Xin wilted like an eggplant hit by frost.

But he still pretended to be calm and retorted: "You...you are talking nonsense. If you have evidence, just show it and convict me!"

Xu Yingying was so angry that she laughed when she heard this. It turned out that both the father and the son were not good people and they were of the same character.

Xu Yingying nodded and said, "Okay, you won't cry until you see the coffin, right? Then I will let you see it today."

After saying that, Xu Yingying clapped her hands, and Taohua and the group of female ghosts in white who were hiding in the dark quickly floated out.

In fact, they had been standing by and couldn't wait any longer, but they didn't dare to come out for Xu Yingying's sake. Because before they left today, they had promised Xu Yingying that they would listen to her in all matters, otherwise she would not take care of the matter.

Taohua took the brunt of the attack without hesitation. She had a lot of experience in dealing with this kind of scum.

Taohua, wearing a green dress, with long hair and an unclear face, appeared out of nowhere in front of Shen Xin.

She even deliberately turned her head 180 degrees in front of Shen Xin, then showed her white teeth and smiled at Shen Xin: "Good evening! Lord Shen."

Shen Xin, who was originally talking nonsense, was frightened half to death when he saw a female ghost in green suddenly float in front of him.

He pretended to be calm and closed his eyes to comfort himself that it was an illusion. "Amitabha, Amitabha, Buddha bless me, this must be an illusion..."
