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

Xu Yingying, who was handling official documents, dropped the pen in her hand when she heard Li Yiping's words, and immediately stepped forward to open the door.

At the door, Li Yiping looked at Xu Yingying anxiously. When he saw her coming out, he grabbed her hand and led her forward, saying as he ran, "There is no time to explain, kid. Follow me first."

Xu Yingying didn't ask any more questions and followed Li Yiping to where Li Siqi lived.

When he left, the female ghost followed him.

At this moment, Xu Yingying no longer cared about the female ghost. She only cared about Li Siqi's illness.

in the room.

There was a strong smell of medicine in the air. Xu Yingying was startled by the smell as soon as she entered the room. When she saw Li Siqi's pale face lying on the bed, her heart suddenly ached.

Xu Yingying quickly walked to Li Siqi's bed and asked in surprise: "How could this happen?"

"Weren't you fine this morning?"

Li Yiping I didn't know how to explain, so I could only say, "We'll talk about this later. First, help me stabilize his vitals. I'm going to give him acupuncture to suppress his cold poison!"

Xu Yingying didn't have time to think about it and could only follow Li Yiping's guidance step by step.

The golden needles were inserted into various acupuncture points of Li Siqi. The acupuncture channels were opened and the blood in his body flowed rapidly. Li Siqi felt as if he was in a world of ice and fire.

Soon, Li Siqi's body was covered in sweat. He closed his eyes and frowned, his eyeballs moved under his eyelids, and his lips moved as if he was in a nightmare.

The female ghost who had been following Xu Yingying took a look at her anxious look and then curled her lips into a smile.

The female ghost floated around Xu Yingying and chuckled, "Master Xu cares about this young master, right?"

"..."Xu Yingying was sweating profusely and ignored the female ghost.

The ghost girl didn't care about not getting an answer, and continued, "This young man has a short life span, and I'm afraid he won't live to be 25. Do you think he will die if I take advantage of this opportunity to absorb more of his life span?"

As soon as these words came out, Xu Yingying was immediately angry, "How dare you!"

"Why not?" The female ghost threatened with a smug smile.

"If you want me to not take advantage of the opportunity to cause trouble, that's fine. As long as Lord Xu helps me get my body back, not only will I not touch him, I will also help Lord Xu find a way to prolong his life and ensure that you and your lover will love each other for the rest of your life."

Xu Yingying lowered her eyes and her expression could not be seen clearly.

Seeing that Xu Yingying ignored her, the female ghost was a little confused, "Master Xu..."

Suddenly, a powerful force attacked the ghost girl. Xu Yingying grabbed the ghost girl's neck fiercely, stared at her with bloodshot eyes, and warned her fiercely: "Shut up!"

"I'm telling you, if you dare to go after him, I promise to tie you up with a red rope soaked in black dog blood and cinnabar, and then hang you around my waist!"

"Don't think I don't dare. You can try it!"

The terrifying aura filled the female ghost's body, suppressing her soul, leaving her no chance to resist.

The female ghost stared at Xu Yingying with her eyes wide open in disbelief. She had never expected that the usually gentle County Magistrate Xu would have such powerful strength that he could even capture her entity. The female ghost was immediately frightened.

But the female ghost didn't want to give up, because she would not be able to reincarnate if she couldn't find her body.

Ignoring the suffocating feeling in front of her neck, the female ghost begged, "I was wrong, Master Xu. I shouldn't have threatened you."

"But, Master Xu, I really want to return to my body first. Without my body, I can never cross the Naihe Bridge. Please be kind and help me!"

There were tears gleaming in the ghost girl's eyes, and the tears slid down her cheeks and mixed with her flesh and blood. It was extremely terrifying, but her sad expression made people feel sympathy for her.

But this time the female ghost really hit a wall.

Xu Yingying let go of the ghost and said in a cold tone: "I won't help you, forget it!"

After saying this, Xu Yingying completely ignored the female ghost. No matter how the female ghost begged, Xu Yingying remained indifferent, as if she couldn't see it at all.

Bed.

Li Siqi fell into a coma due to the further invasion of the cold poison, and his whole body was covered in sweat. Xu Yingying had to suppress his vital points while wiping his body.

Looking at Li Siqi who was unconscious on the bed, Xu Yingying's anxiety became more and more serious. She raised her eyes to look at Li Yiping and asked anxiously: "Doctor Li, is this all right?"

"Of course not." Li Yiping shook his head with a heavy look in his eyes.

"Si Qi's cold poison is extremely powerful. He has been poisoned since he was a child and has invaded his internal organs. Whether he can wake up this time depends on his own luck. I can't do anything about it."

Li Yiping sighed deeply.

Hearing this, Xu Yingying's heart finally fell to the bottom and she felt extremely depressed.

In fact, the reason why Xu Yingying cared so much about Li Siqi was because she had already selected the next county magistrate, but the person she personally selected was about to die in front of her eyes.

How could Xu Yingying accept this?

After temporarily suppressing the cold poison, Xu Yingying returned to the study to deal with official documents.

It seems that we have to find someone to replace the county magistrate.

in the afternoon.

Suddenly, someone came to the yamen to appeal for justice, and Xu Yingying rushed to deal with it without stopping. She was so busy that she was exhausted and almost died.

The female ghost followed closely, wanting to see what Xu Yingying did in the yamen every day.

Yamen, court.

The person who reported the case to the police was an ordinary citizen named Daniu.

Xu Yingying looked down at Daniu and said seriously, "What do you want to report to the authorities?"

Daniu knelt on the ground, trembling, and said in panic: "My lord, this is terrible!"

"I was drawing water from the well at the entrance of the village when suddenly a swollen male corpse was hung up. I was so scared that I immediately reported it to the police!"

"Sir, this well belongs to our village. Now that something like this has happened, how can the people in our village drink water? Sir, you must investigate this matter and find the real culprit!"

A dead body appeared in a village's source of life, so naturally the villagers dared not drink it anymore.

Xu Yingying was slightly stunned. She didn't expect the matter to be so bad. She immediately sent people to the village entrance to check.

"Find a few strong yamen officials to go with me and Daniu to their village to check out the well!"

"Yes!"

Several tall yamen officials below immediately stood up and followed Xu Yingying.

Shuijing Village.

As soon as she entered the village, Xu Yingying found dozens of villagers gathered together. A group of people were pointing at things in front of them and whispering from time to time.

Daniu said respectfully while showing Xu Yingying the way.

"Sir, this is our Shuijing Village. In front is the well where the body was found. I will take you there."

Xu Yingying nodded and followed Daniu.

As soon as the county magistrate appeared, the people around him immediately made way.

"The county magistrate is here, everyone, get out of the way!"

Soon, the dead well appeared in front of Xu Yingying.

I saw a male corpse placed next to the well, covered with a white cloth and unable to see its appearance clearly.
