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

Camellia was extremely efficient and came back to report soon.

"Sir, Xu Ruohao has been found. He is still alive. He is in a pond in the bamboo forest behind the mountain behind our county. I went to see him and it looked like he was beaten and thrown there."

Camellia reported to Xu Yingying what she had seen and heard.

"Okay." Xu Yingying nodded solemnly, and then took Wu Da and others to rush to the bamboo forest.

Because Xu Yingying was afraid that if she moved too slowly it would delay the time to rescue Xu Ruohao, she did not bring too many people with her. After all, time is money at this time.

As soon as we arrived at the gate of the county government office, Li Siqi had already prepared his horse and was waiting there.

"I'll go with you." Li Siqi said to Xu Yingying.

Xu Yingying did not refuse, "Okay! Then let's get going quickly!"

After saying that, a group of people set off in a mighty manner.

When Xu Yingying and the others arrived at the pond, Xu Yingying saw a woman she had never seen before.

The woman had a beautiful face and was wearing gorgeous clothes that not everyone could afford.

But at this moment she was squatting by the river, looking at the lake with empty eyes.

Xu Yingying followed her gaze and found a female ghost in white in the pond who was waving at her constantly and making extremely seductive sounds.

"Come on, come and play~"

"Come and play with me~"

"Don't you want to play with me~"

……

Along with the ghost's voice, the woman's body was seen getting closer and closer to the water surface...

"Oh no! She's looking for a scapegoat." Xu Yingying screamed and rushed forward to grab the girl's clothes.

But due to inertia, the woman still fell into the river.

The cold water woke the woman up instantly. She kept struggling in the river, shouting, "Save me."

"Someone come! Everyone come and save me."

"I'm not good at swimming!"

……

Hearing the sound, Xu Yingying jumped into the lake without hesitation and pulled the woman up.

"puff--"

"Cough cough cough."

The woman coughed violently.

"Are you okay?" Xu Yingying asked the woman quickly upon seeing this.

"grown ups!"

"Sir, are you okay?"

Wu Da and Li Siqi said anxiously and quickly surrounded Xu Yingying.

Xu Yingying shook her head. "I'm fine. You guys go see her!"

Hearing the noise, Wu Da went to look at the woman next to him. After the woman spat out the water in her mouth and nose, she became much more sober.

"Miss Su Hesu? Why are you here?" Wu Da said in surprise after seeing who it was.

"You know each other!" Xu Yingying was a little surprised.

"Oh, sir, her name is Su He. She is the daughter of a famous wealthy businessman here. Everyone knows her. It's normal that you don't know her since you have just arrived here for a short time." Wu Da explained.

Xu Yingying nodded perfunctorily, then turned to Su He and asked, "Are you okay?"

When Su He heard the voice, she looked up and what came into her sight was Xu Yingying's patient face, her high nose bridge, and a pair of bright eyes staring straight at her.

Because the two were very close, Su He could clearly feel the heat generated by Xu Yingying's breathing.

The hot air sprayed on Su He's face, and Su He's heartbeat became irregular.

What a handsome man, why had she not noticed him before?

Of course, Xu Yingying was worried about Xu Ruohao and didn't notice Su He's blushing cheeks at all.

Seeing that Su He was fine, Xu Yingying simply reminded her, "Miss Su, if you are fine, go home quickly! It's getting late, it's not safe for you to be outside alone. Don't go out alone next time. You will easily encounter danger if you do this, okay?"

"I know." Su He said in a low voice.

Xu Yingying left another yamen runner behind and told him to personally send Su He back to the Su family, while she and Li Siqi and others continued to head towards the back mountain.

Under the guidance of Camellia, Xu Yingying quickly found Xu Ruohao.

At this time, Xu Ruohao was lying on the ground dying, his body covered with wounds, and his clothes had long been stained red with blood.

Seeing this, Li Siqi quickly stepped forward and put his hand on Xu Ruohao.

Fortunately, I'm still breathing.

"The injury is so serious." Xu Yingying's brows were immediately twisted into the shape of a "川" character.

"Hurry up and carry him back to find a doctor for treatment." Xu Yingying said decisively.

In this way, Xu Ruohao received timely treatment with the help of everyone.

"Sir, don't worry too much about this young master. Although he has more injuries, none of them are fatal, and there are no internal injuries. Just follow my instructions and take medicine on time and rest more. He will recover soon."

After examining Xu Ruohao, the doctor spoke to Xu Yingying and Li Siqi who were standing beside him.

Li Siqi heaved a sigh of relief after hearing the doctor's words, and then took out a large piece of silver from his pocket, "This is for your doctor. I'll have to trouble you in the next few days."

The doctor didn't dare to accept it but instead looked at Xu Yingying cautiously.

Xu Yingying nodded to indicate that he could accept it.

Don’t be a fool if you have money. Besides, this money was given by Li Siqi himself, so why not refuse it?

Only after getting Xu Yingying's permission did the doctor take the silver from Li Siqi.

"Then I will go get the medicine for this gentleman now, and then bring it to you after it is boiled?" the doctor asked Xu Yingying.

Xu Yingying nodded, "Go!"

After a while.

The doctor gave Xu Ruohao the prepared medicine and also gave him an injection to stop the bleeding wound.

Under the doctor's careful care, Xu Ruohao woke up soon.

Xu Ruohao looked at the ceiling with a dazed look in his eyes and said, "Where am I...? I remember... I was being... hunted by someone, right?"

"You have been found by Lord Xu." Li Siqi explained.

Xu Ruohao heard a familiar voice and turned around to see Li Siqi. He blurted out in surprise, "Sir?"

After saying that, he immediately struggled to get out of bed.

"Don't move. You are covered in wounds. You should lie down and have a good rest!" Li Siqi said as he pressed Xu Ruohao down forcefully.

Hearing this, Xu Ruohao could only nod his head obediently and said, "Okay, sir."

"How did you become like this? Do you know who is chasing you?" Li Siqi asked quickly.

Xu Ruohao smiled bitterly after hearing this, "I know, it was Li Siming."

Li Siqi was stunned when he heard this, but he quickly recovered and said helplessly, "I have come here to hide, but he still won't let me go."

"Master, should we go back?" Xu Ruohao asked tentatively.

"Why go back? My cold poison treasure house is unlocked. How can I fight him when I go back?" Li Siqi said helplessly.

After hearing this, a trace of unwillingness flashed in Xu Ruohao's eyes.

"Young Master, are we just going to let him go? How many people has he sent to assassinate you over the years? We should let the emperor... everyone know about his evil deeds." Xu Ruohao said earnestly.

"Don't be in a hurry. Now is not the right time. Let's wait a little longer!" Li Siqi said lightly.
