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

"I was wondering why I encountered such a bizarre thing tonight! It turns out that you were cheating. You used every trick you could to make me stay! Xu Yingying, I'm going to go back today to see what tricks you are going to play on me." Li Siqi muttered to himself.

After saying that, he gestured to his men and said, "Let's go back to the government office."

The subordinate was a little surprised to hear Li Siqi's words, and did not react for a moment, "Sir, we are not leaving?"

Li Siqi nodded and said, "Yes."

After saying this, he rode his horse towards the county government office.

The subordinate looked at Li Siqi's back and muttered in dissatisfaction: "What! Young Master, you always do what you want."

But he still rode his horse obediently to keep up with Li Siqi's pace.

night.

Xu Yingying was about to go back to her room to rest, but she didn't expect to see a very familiar figure as soon as she came out of the study.

The next second, Xu Yingying asked in surprise: "Li Siqi? Didn't you leave? Why are you back again?"

Li Siqi's face suddenly turned a little bad when he heard Xu Yingying's words, and he asked back: "What do you think? Didn't you want me to leave? Why are you asking me why I came back now?"

Seeing this, Xu Yingying smiled awkwardly and didn't know what to say for a moment.

But soon her eyes were fixed on the scars on Li Siqi's body, because there was a faint black aura on these scars, and it didn't look like they were caused by a human, but rather by a ghost.

"Are you hurt?" Xu Yingying blurted out.

Li Siqi nodded and said nonchalantly, "It's okay, just a minor injury."

"Okay! It's getting late, you should go and rest first!" Xu Yingying had no choice but to speak up when she saw this.

"Okay, you too."

After saying goodbye to Li Siqi, Xu Yingying couldn't wait to call Wu Da.

"Wu Da, go to the street and buy some glutinous rice and bring it to me later."

"Sticky rice?"

Wu Da said with some surprise, what's wrong with the county magistrate today? It's already dark and he wants glutinous rice.

Is it eating?

"Yes, go quickly! It's getting late. If you go too late, all the grain and oil stores on the street will be closed." Xu Yingying urged.

"Subordinate, go right away."

Wu Da ran out quickly.

At this time, Camellia, who was outside looking for clues, also rushed back.

As soon as she came back, she asked Xu Yingying, "Sir, is Master Li back?"

Xu Yingying was a little surprised, "How do you know he's back?"

After listening to this, Camellia smiled helplessly, and then told Xu Yingying everything that happened to her outside today.

After hearing this, Xu Yingying showed an expression of sudden enlightenment, "So that's how it is!"

At the same time, Wu Da, who had gone out to sell glutinous rice to Xu Yingying, also came back.

"Sir, this is the glutinous rice you requested." General Wu handed the glutinous rice in his hand to Xu Yingying respectfully.

"Okay, there's nothing for you to do here, so go back!" Xu Yingying waved her hand.

"Yes, my lord."

Xu Yingying didn't waste any time. She took the glutinous rice bought by Wu Da and went straight to Li Siqi's room.

Coincidentally, Li Siqi and his men had not rested yet, and there was still candlelight in the room.

"Boom boom boom——"

Xu Yingying knocked on the door.

Li Siqi's voice came from the room, "Who is it?"

"It's me, Xu Yingying."

The door opened with a creak.

Li Siqi's men were a little surprised to see Xu Yingying outside, "My Lord, why are you still awake so late?"

Xu Yingying raised the bag in her hand and said, "I'm here to deliver something to your young master. I saw that he was injured, so I brought him some medicine."

"So that's how it is. Please come in, sir." Li Siqi's men suddenly realized.

Xu Yingying picked up the medicine box and bandaged Li Siqi's wound simply. Li Siqi did not resist, but just looked at Xu Yingying quietly.

Xu Yingying felt a little strange. Although Li Siqi was very obedient to her in the past, he was still somewhat unconvinced in his heart. What happened today? He was so well-behaved?

Could it be that... he was scared by that ghost and learned his lesson?

When Xu Yingying thought of this, she almost couldn't help but burst out laughing, but considering Li Siqi's face, she still didn't laugh.

Seeing that Xu Yingying's wound had been almost bandaged, Li Siqi waved his hand and asked his men to leave.

"All of you please go down! I have something important to discuss with Master Xu alone."

"Obey, son."

After a while, Xu Yingying and Li Siqi were the only ones left in the huge room.

The air suddenly became quiet.

Xu Yingying was the first to speak and break the deadlock.

"I wonder what Mr. Li wants to talk to me about!" Xu Yingying asked curiously.

"Lord Xu, do you know that I was attacked when I left the city today?" Li Siqi went straight to the point and spoke to Xu Yingying.

Xu Yingying nodded. "My subordinates told me about this matter, so I know a little bit about it."

"How dare I ask, sir, whether what happened today was your doing, or whether it has anything to do with you?" Li Siqi asked, staring straight at Xu Yingying's face.

When Xu Yingying heard this, her head exploded.

She threw the medicine in her hand at Li Siqi and asked, "What do you mean? Do you mean that I hired someone to attack you?"

Li Siqi just looked at Xu Yingying without saying anything.

But in Xu Yingying's view, this was Li Siqi's tacit consent.

"Okay! I kept you here because I was worried about your cold poison. These days, I not only took care of your food, drink, defecation and urination, but also tried my best to detoxify you. So I am such a despicable person in your heart?"

"Li Siqi, do you have any conscience? Did you ask me why I made these pictures? I spent a lot of money on the herbs and supplements I gave you these days. It's all my fault. I'm such a cheap bastard. I like to meddle in other people's business. Now I've spent money and I don't have a good reputation. I'm even suspected of sending people to attack you."

Xu Yingying blurted out all the thoughts in her mind.

Li Siqi felt a little ashamed when he heard what Xu Yingying said.

Xu Yingying was right. She had been being nice to him these days without asking for anything in return.

When he thought of this, Li Siqi felt extremely guilty.

At this time, Li Siqi also knew that he had really annoyed Xu Yingying this time, so he quickly apologized to Xu Yingying, "I'm sorry, I didn't investigate it clearly and wrongly accused you. I hope that Master Xu can forgive me, and then I'll trouble you to take care of the matter of removing the cold poison."

When Xu Yingying heard this, she was stunned for a moment, and in an instant, most of her anger disappeared.

Seeing that Li Siqi was very sincere this time, she raised her chin and said, "Okay! Seeing that you admit your mistake so well this time and it's your first offense, I will forgive you. But I hope this situation will never happen again next time."

Xu Yingying emphasized to Li Siqi with a serious face.

"Yes, sir, I promise not to do it again." Li Siqi said cooperatively.
