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

Except for Shen Xin, everyone present had a strange look on their faces. They looked around with their eyes wide open for a while and found that they didn't see anything.

Could it be that Shen Xin is possessed by a demon?

Even Li Siqi found it a little strange. Shen Xin's behavior was exactly the same as when Shen Baiting was arrested.

Are there really ghosts in this world?

Li Siqi quickly shook his head when he thought of this, with a mocking smile on his lips. He felt that this reason was really far-fetched.

But he still couldn't help but look at Xu Yingying beside him. Xu Yingying didn't react much, and even a happy smile appeared on the corner of her mouth.

Li Siqi couldn't help but ask Xu Yingying: "Do you know what happened to Shen Xin? Did he see a ghost?"

There was a flash of panic in Xu Yingying's eyes, and then an idea suddenly occurred to her, and a bold idea emerged in her mind.

She pretended to be calm and said, "I drugged him. The drug made him unconscious and hallucinated, so he became like this."

After hearing this, Li Siqi nodded with a look of sudden enlightenment and said, "So that's how it is."

Xu Yingying felt relieved when she saw that she had successfully fooled Li Siqi.

But before she could secretly rejoice, Li Siqi's voice rang in her ear again.

"Sir, where did you buy the medicine? What kind of medicine did you buy? I want to buy some to try when I have time. It feels quite magical."

Xu Yingying turned pale when she heard this, and then she stammered, "I bought it from a quack doctor. I don't know the name of the medicine, and I don't know where the quack doctor is. If I see him next time, I can ask him for you."

Li Siqi took in all of Xu Yingying's reactions. He felt that Xu Yingying's behavior seemed a little strange, as if she had some secret and could really see ghosts.

Interesting, really interesting.

Anyway, there is still a lot of time, and there will be plenty of opportunities to investigate his secrets in the future.

Xu Yingying heaved a sigh of relief when she saw that Li Siqi didn't ask any more questions. Finally, Li Siqi had fooled her.

At the same time, on Shen Xin's side.

He was mumbling something for a while and then he opened his eyes and found that there were more ghosts than just Taohua in front of him.

Only then did he realize that what appeared before his eyes was not an illusion, but what he really saw.

The female ghosts in white also very "gently" stretched out their hands to Shen Xin and said, "Master, do you still remember me?"

"Master, I am Ruhua! You loved me the most before and even said you wanted to marry me! Woohoo, why did you abandon me after I got pregnant?"

"Master, what about me? My name is Cuicui, and I was about to get married, but you took a fancy to me and forcibly snatched me away from home. You also beat to death my parents who fought for me!"

"Master, what about me? I am a maid in the Shen Mansion. When I brought you water to wash your feet, you took a fancy to me and favored me under the influence of alcohol. But when you woke up, you denied it. You were afraid of being punished by your wife, so you threw me into the well in the back garden and drowned me alive!"

"Now that my wife is dead, I have no choice but to seek revenge on you. The water in the flower pond behind the master is so cold! I am really lonely down there by myself. How about you come and keep me company?"

……

Shen Xin had never seen such a scene before! He was immediately frightened, closed his eyes tightly, and waved his hands in the air, trying to drive away these female ghosts.

Seeing that the female ghosts did not leave and were still hovering around him, Shen Xin hurriedly told them all the crimes he had committed.

"No, I didn't kill you! It's just that you asked for too much and were too greedy. Don't blame me. I had my reasons! My wife was such a powerful person back then, but you all wanted status and position, so I had no choice but to kill you."

"And Feifei, I really liked you, but you insisted on reporting me to the county magistrate, saying that I raped you. I had no choice but to let the servants kill you!"

"And Lulu, you really want too much. You even provoked my wife and wanted to secretly give birth to my child. How could I let you do this? I had no choice but to kill you."

……

Everyone present showed extremely shocked expressions after hearing this. They didn't expect that Shen Xin and his son looked so righteous, but in private they played more extravagantly and cruelly than each other.

Faced with Shen Xin's confession, Xu Yingying felt that the time had come for her to step forward.

She immediately said to the yamen runner beside her: "The criminal Shen Xin killed so many people with cruel methods. He is simply insane and hateful to both humans and gods. Now I declare that he will be arrested and brought back to the yamen. I will give him a thorough trial."

Xu Yingying's voice immediately sobered Shen Xin up a little. Shen Xin immediately understood that this was a trap set by Xu Yingying.

So he shouted without hesitation: "Sir, you can't just arrest me like this. Do you have any evidence to prove that I killed someone? I was just possessed by a ghost. I'm talking nonsense."

Xu Yingying couldn't help but roll her eyes when she heard this and said, "No evidence? Don't worry, I'll arrest you first, and then I'll search your Shen Mansion thoroughly, and I'll have evidence soon."

When Shen Xin heard this, he was so excited that his eyes rolled back and he fainted on the spot.

"Hurry, hurry, drag him away, lock him and his eldest son Shen Baiting in a cage, and let them continue their father-son relationship." Xu Yingying said decisively.

"Yes, my lord."

Li Siqi looked at Xu Yingying, who was smart, decisive, and efficient in her work, and his opinion of her immediately changed. He even admired her a little bit.

However, at this time Xu Yingying was grinning like a fool. She had finally solved the problem of the Shen family's father and son, and also solved the food problem of the common people. She was really in high spirits because of good things happening to her.

So she had no idea what Li Siqi was thinking at this moment.

At this moment, the yamen runner sent by Xu Yingying to the granary ran towards Xu Yingying in a hurry as if he had discovered something.

"Reporting to the Lord, in addition to grain, we found a lot of gold, silver and jewelry in the granary, many of which were government property."

The bailiff reported to Xu Yingying.

After hearing this, Xu Yingying frowned. How could the Shen family have things belonging to the government?

But her doubts were soon answered.

Seeing this, Wu Da gave a bitter smile and explained to Xu Yingying: "These are most likely gifts given by the former county magistrate in order to curry favor with the Shen family."

After hearing this, Xu Yingying showed an expression of sudden enlightenment, but at the same time she was extremely angry.

As a county magistrate, the parent official of the people, he did not spend the money given by the court on the people, but actually spent it on currying favor with the Shen family. How shameless!

At this time, Xu Yingying became even more disgusted with Shen Xin and his son.
