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

After saying this, Xu Yingying glanced at Fang's father and Zhang's father. The two of them had already shrunk their heads into their necks out of guilt and didn't dare to look up at Xu Yingying.

"In the end, I think both the Fang and Zhang families are at fault. I will fine you one thousand taels, which will be used to confiscate the property and subsidize the poor families in this county. This will regulate social customs and serve as a warning to the world. Do you have any objections?"

Xu Yingying looked at Mr. Fang and Mr. Zhang and said indifferently.

"I have no objection."

The two replied in unison.

Seeing this, Xu Yingying nodded with satisfaction, "Let's end this matter here! Don't make things so awkward when you go back. After all, we all live in the same county and see each other every day. It's not good for everyone to make things like this."

"One more thing. When we get back, bury their bodies properly! This will help them reincarnate faster and suffer less. Find a mage to chant some sutras or something, so that they can have a good reincarnation in the next life and not suffer as much as they did in this life."

"Yes, my lord."

After paying the fine, Mr. Zhang and Mr. Fang left the yamen.

Xu Yingying heaved a sigh of relief when she saw the two men disappear from view.

But the affairs of the living have been resolved, but the affairs of the ghosts have not been resolved.

It seemed that Zhang Xiaomei and Fang Dongyuan were still unwilling to let each other go. They kept fighting with each other until both of them died. This farce ended only when they were both killed.

Xu Yingying did not try to stop it when she saw it. In her opinion, the two of them deserved this fate.

It was a rare opportunity for Xu Yingying to have some peace and quiet, so she left some follow-up trivial matters to Wu Da to deal with, and prepared to return home to catch up on some sleep.

inside the room.

Xu Yingying was taking a flower petal bath in a wooden tub very comfortably.

Xu Yingying sprinkled the flower petals on her body and slowly rubbed herself.

“So comfortable~”

"Being a county magistrate is so annoying. It's better to live a comfortable life in modern times!"

Xu Yingying said exhaustedly.

Just as Xu Yingying was enjoying her rare personal life, a hurried knock on the door ruined her good mood.

"Boom boom boom——"

"Who is it?" Xu Yingying's voice was a little impatient.

"I, sir." Li Siqi's voice came from outside the door.

"I'm taking a bath now! It's not convenient to open the door, please wait patiently for a while." Xu Yingying said.

"No! Sir, I have something important to ask you for help." After saying this, Li Siqi pretended to push the door open and enter.

"No, no, no, no, don't come in, I haven't put on my clothes yet!" Xu Yingying hurriedly stopped him upon seeing this, and she became extremely flustered.

Li Siqi grinned when he heard Xu Yingying's words, "We are all boys, why are you shy? I have what you have, and I don't have what you don't have."

Seeing this, Xu Yingying stopped him in a very serious tone, "No, I'm a shy person. If I say you can't come in, you can't come in. If you come in, I will be really angry and ignore you."

Seeing that Xu Yingying was serious, Li Siqi retracted his hands and feet, but he still said unwillingly: "Okay! Can you please be a little faster? I really need your help in an emergency."

"Okay, okay, I'll be there right away. I'll just put on some clothes." Upon hearing the voice, Xu Yingying quickly stood up from the wooden barrel, grabbed a coat and wrapped herself up, then opened the door for Li Siqi.

"What's so urgent? You have to tell me in the middle of the night." Xu Yingying asked Li Siqi curiously while wiping her hair with a towel.

"My subordinate Xu Ruohao is missing." Li Siqi said to Xu Yingying anxiously.

"Could he have been kidnapped or met with some accident?" Xu Yingying guessed after hearing the voice.

Li Siqi shook his head firmly and said, "I feel like he might have met with something unexpected. Since his martial arts skills are very strong, I would like you to help me find him."

When Xu Yingying heard this, her eyes suddenly lit up, and a bold idea popped into her mind.

"You can let me find someone to help you search, but I have a condition. I will help you if you agree." Xu Yingying looked at Li Siqi with a smile.

"Don't even mention one condition. I can agree to ten conditions as long as you help me find Xu Ruohao." Li Siqi said hurriedly.

In his eyes, Xu Yingying was just asking him to do something for her or give him some money, which was a trivial matter to him.

When Xu Yingying saw that Li Siqi agreed, she was extremely excited.

"My request is very simple. After I help you find your Xu Ruohao, you have to take over my position as county magistrate. How about it? You can do it, right?" Seeing this, Xu Yingying stopped pretending and went straight to the point and said to Li Siqi.

"What do you mean? You want me to be the county magistrate?" Li Siqi said in shock.

"Yes!" Xu Yingying nodded and asked, "Are you unwilling?"

Li Siqi really didn't want to.

But he couldn't tell Xu Yingying directly, after all, he still needed her help.

Li Siqi thought about it for a moment and nodded without hesitation, saying, "Of course I am willing."

Li Siqi planned to calm her down first, and then deal with the rest later. The most urgent task now was to find Xu Ruohao.

The longer Xu Ruohao is missing, the smaller the chance of finding him and him surviving.

Thinking of this, Li Siqi's heart, which had originally calmed down, began to become flustered again.

When Xu Yingying saw Li Siqi agreed, she was so excited that she almost jumped up.

"Then bring Xu Ruohao's underwear here, and I'll send the dog in the yamen to sniff and find him." Xu Yingying said to Li Siqi.

"Dog? When did our government office start raising dogs? Why have I never seen one in such a long time?" Li Siqi looked at Xu Yingying with some confusion.

Xu Yingying swallowed nervously when she heard that, and then she made up a story: "You know dogs are aggressive. I usually keep them in captivity for fear that they might bite people. It's normal that you didn't see them."

"Oh, so that's how it is." Li Siqi nodded in sudden enlightenment.

"Go and get the clothes quickly! The sooner we find Xu Ruohao, the greater the chance that he will survive. We can't waste any more time." Xu Yingying urged.

"Yes, yes, yes!" After saying that, Li Siqi hurried to Xu Ruohao's room to get his things.

Xu Yingying heaved a sigh of relief when she saw that she had successfully fooled Li Siqi.

She couldn't tell her that the dog she was talking about was... Camellia!

At this time, Camellia looked at Xu Yingying with an extremely resentful look and said, "Sir, there will not be a next time."

Seeing this, Xu Yingying quickly nodded and assured: "Of course, this is forced by the situation!"

Xu Yingying's face was still full of ingratiating smiles.

Seeing her good attitude, Camellia immediately forgave Xu Yingying.

Li Siqi handed Xu Ruohao's underwear to Xu Yingying with some doubt.

Xu Yingying pretended to send a constable to look for the clothes, but actually gave the clothes to Chahua.
