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

Seeing this, Xu Yingying took the initiative to approach and wanted to check the male corpse. As soon as she lifted the white cloth, she found a knife wound in the male corpse's abdomen. Such an obvious knife wound was obviously a homicide.

It seems that this is another murder case.

"what--"

A scream suddenly came into Xu Yingying's ears.

Xu Yingying looked in the direction she was looking, only to find that a male ghost in brown linen clothes had appeared out of nowhere and was looking at Taohua with ill intentions.

"Oh, you're a ghost, but you're still so scared! It seems like you were still a novice when you were alive!" The brown-clothed male ghost looked at Taohua with a lewd face.

After saying that, he pretended to touch Taohua.

Taohua screamed and retreated backwards in fear.

Xu Yingying naturally refused to obey when she saw this. She immediately frowned and shouted at the brown-clothed male ghost: "How dare you! Let go of that woman and stay away from her, or I will make you pay!"

When the brown-clothed male ghost heard Xu Yingying's scolding, a disdainful smile appeared on his face, and he did not take Xu Yingying seriously at all.

"Although you are an official, that is in the world of the living. We are all dead now, and the affairs are under the jurisdiction of the underworld. You naturally cannot control me. I can do whatever I want."

After saying this, the brown-clothed male ghost looked at Xu Yingying provocatively, and deliberately prepared to continue touching Taohua in front of Xu Yingying.

"Sir! Save me." Taohua dodged the opponent's attack while asking Xu Yingying for help.

Xu Yingying couldn't bear it any longer when she saw this, so she rushed forward, grabbed the male ghost's hair and scratched him in the face.

Xu Yingying kept moving her hands while she was still "educating" her frantically: "You little bitch, I dared you to harass Taohua. Since you can't manage yourself and your parents didn't teach you well, then I will educate you on behalf of your parents and let you know how to behave."

After a while, Xu Yingying scratched the brown-clothed male ghost's face until it was covered with bloody marks.

The brown-clothed male ghost screamed miserably and begged Xu Yingying for mercy:

"Sir, please stop hitting me. I know I was wrong and I won't harass her anymore."

"Brother, I know I was wrong, please let me go!"

"Don't scratch my face! I still rely on this face to survive!"

……

Xu Yingying felt happy and vented her anger for Taohua, but she didn't notice the way the people around her looked at her.

The people could not see the brown-clothed male ghost, they could only see Xu Yingying suddenly going crazy and scratching the air frantically.

Yes, when the people around saw this scene, they all thought that Xu Yingying was frightened and possessed by evil spirits after seeing the male ghost's corpse, so she acted in such an insane manner.

The people around immediately pulled Xu Yingying aside and kept patting her back, trying to keep her awake.

"Sir, what's wrong with you?"

"Master Xu, are you okay?"

"My Lord, calm down!"

……

After hearing everyone's shouts, Xu Yingying reacted immediately.

Xu Yingying quickly calmed down, smiled at the people around her and explained, "It's okay, there was a bug hovering next to me just now, I was chasing it away!"

After Xu Yingying finished speaking, she glared at the brown-clothed male ghost fiercely. Seeing that he was so scared by her beating that he dared to shrink weakly to the side, Xu Yingying immediately showed a look of satisfaction.

Considering that there were so many people around and the brown-clothed male ghost did not do anything frivolous, Xu Yingying did not attack him again.

After resolving this little episode, Xu Yingying continued to do his business.

"Someone come here! Take this male corpse back to the yamen and let the coroner do further examination." Xu Yingying ordered the yamen runner beside her.

"Yes, my lord."

On the way back to the yamen, Xu Yingying was surprised to find that the brown-clothed male ghost who she had beaten was also following them to the yamen.

After observing for a period of time, Xu Yingying came to a conclusion that surprised her a little - this brown-clothed male ghost could not stay too far away from the corpse.

It seems that the male ghost in brown might be the owner of this corpse.

After returning to the yamen, the coroner came to report the results not long after.

"Reporting to you, sir, after a careful examination by my subordinates, the deceased is a male. He was stabbed several times in the abdomen, and each stab was in a vital part. This is the wound that caused his death."

"The reason why the male corpse appeared in the well was that he was thrown into the well after death. Based on the above, I initially speculate that the man was murdered."

The coroner reported to Xu Yingying very respectfully.

After listening to this, Xu Yingying nodded approvingly. The coroner's judgment coincided with her guess.

"Okay, you've worked hard, go down! By the way, call Wu Da over to me." Xu Yingying said to the coroner.

"I don't deserve that responsibility. This is my job." The coroner said with a look of panic on his face.

"If you have nothing else to tell me, I will leave now."

Xu Yingying closed her eyes, rubbed her temples, and nodded in tacit agreement.

Seeing that Xu Yingying looked tired and unwilling to say anything more, the coroner bowed to her and left.

After a while, Wu Da appeared in front of Xu Yingying.

"Sir, I heard that you were looking for me. Is there anything you want me to do?" Wu Da stood in front of Xu Yingying and asked him respectfully with his hands clasped together.

"Go and find me which family in the county has lost someone matching this male corpse, and report to me." Xu Yingying looked at Wu Da and said.

"Yes, my lord."

After saying that, Wu Da retreated.

As soon as Wu Da left, the originally bustling study room suddenly became quiet.

The brown-clothed male ghost appeared in front of Xu Yingying again. He stared at her and said, "You, the county magistrate, have delicate skin and tender flesh, and are much shorter than a normal man. You don't look like a man, but more like a woman."

After saying that, he suddenly pointed at Xu Yingying excitedly as if he had thought of something and said, "You're not a woman, are you?"

"Yes, based on my experience of seeing so many girls, you are definitely a girl!" The brown-clothed male ghost pointed at Xu Yingying and said with certainty.

After these words were spoken, Taohua, who was standing behind Xu Yingying, opened her mouth slightly. She did not expect that Xu Yingying would actually be a woman.

But Taohua thought again and felt that some of Xu Yingying's behaviors were indeed a bit strange, but it was normal for a woman.

Taohua accepted this fact calmly. On the contrary, she thought it was a good thing!

Before, she thought Xu Yingying was a man. Although she was a female ghost, she sometimes still felt a little awkward when getting along with her. But now these problems are no longer a problem.

When she thought of this, Taohua felt a lot more relaxed.

Of course, Xu Yingying on the side had no idea what Taohua was thinking at the moment. Instead, she was a little panicked and anxious.
