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

But unfortunately, all the clues Li Siqi found ended up in a dead end.

The case came to a standstill and could not make any further progress.

And Xu Yingying also got into trouble with a difficult guy - Xu Zhengtao.

Xu Zhengtao did not stay at peace and secretly made trouble for Xu Yingying many times.

Early in the morning, Xu Yingying had just come out of her mansion when she stepped on something and fell heavily to the ground with a bang.

"Ouch--"

Xu Yingying covered her buttocks which felt like they were about to break, and then she looked down at her feet. She didn't know what was happening until she looked down. The moment she looked down, Xu Yingying's anger reached its peak.

"Damn, who the hell is this person who has no manners and keeps throwing banana peels at my door? This is the third time I've fallen this week."

"I'm really impressed, damn it."

Xu Yingying said cursingly.

At the same time, in the corner where she didn't notice, there was a man secretly watching Xu Yingying's every move.

When the man saw Xu Yingying struggling to get up from the ground while cursing, he immediately smiled with satisfaction and whispered, "Okay, you can go back and help the young master regain his sight."

Yes, this person was the servant sent by Xu Zhengtao.

These days he has been following Xu Zhengtao's instructions and has been secretly trying to trip up Xu Yingying many times.

And what Xu Zhengtao did did achieve his goal.

Xu Yingying has been so unlucky recently. She would trip or slip over things whenever she went out.

Sometimes she was almost hit by a vase while walking on the road, and it was common for her to be bumped by people while walking on the street.

The more Xu Yingying thought about it, the angrier she became. She felt that the time she had spent was extremely frustrating and it was totally not worth it.

Is it really worth working so hard to manage such a small thing?

Xu Yingying was struggling in her heart.

Yes, she was shaken again and she was ready to escape from this godforsaken place.

In addition, Camellia has not returned yet since she went to investigate the case today. Isn't this a good opportunity given by God for her to escape?

After struggling for a while, Xu Yingying decided to escape from this remote place and this inhuman county magistrate today.

Anyway, she has taught Li Siqi almost everything about the government office. With him around, what is there to be afraid of?

The more Xu Yingying thought about it, the more justified she felt. So she turned around and quietly sold some valuable things in the Xu Mansion, then gave some money to Aunt Li, and prepared to slip away.

Xu Yingying was walking on the way out of Yong'an County with her belongings. She happily counted the money she had just earned from selling the things on her hands and she couldn't stop smiling.

At this moment, a sharp voice came from behind her.

"Hey, who is this? It turns out to be our county magistrate! I wonder where the county magistrate is going with the bag and money in his hand?"

"You're not trying to escape!"

When Xu Yingying turned around, she saw the face that made her extremely disgusted—Xu Zhengtao.

My goodness, what a narrow road the enemies meet!

Xu Yingying almost fainted when she saw him, but she still pretended to be calm and replied: "What nonsense are you talking about? Don't wrongly accuse me! I'm going to investigate the clues, do you understand?"

"Tsk, tsk, tsk." Xu Zhengtao showed a disdainful expression on his face after hearing this, and asked Xu Yingying pointedly: "You went out to investigate the case and took the bag? And took so much money? If you don't want to run away, what do you want to do?"

"You take me for a fool. In my opinion, you are just a coward. Not only do you have no sense of responsibility for yourself, but you also have no sense of responsibility for the people. You even want to abandon the people and run away."

Because Xu Zhengtao spoke very loudly, the quarrel between the two immediately attracted a lot of people to watch.

As soon as these words were spoken, the people around looked at Xu Yingying with extremely strange eyes, and discussed in a low voice whether this matter was true or false.

"Do you think our county magistrate is capable of doing such a thing?"

"I don't think it's possible. The county magistrate is diligent in his work and serves the people. How great! He is much better than the previous county magistrates who only knew how to eat and drink."

"Yeah, I think it might be a misunderstanding."

"Not necessarily. What if she thinks life in our county is too hard?"

"It's also possible that the previous county magistrates stayed here for only a few days and then ran away."

……

Xu Yingying was in a difficult situation after hearing Xu Zhengtao's words.

It looks like she won't be able to escape today.

But she couldn't admit to the crime. If she admitted that she wanted to escape, would she still stay here?

"Of course I'm not trying to escape. I sold my personal belongings to get this money to help poor people."

Xu Yingying said righteously.

These words attracted the favor of the people, and they couldn't help but praise Xu Yingying.

"Oh, Lord Xu is such a good official!"

"We are so lucky to meet Master Xu."

"How embarrassing! Lord Xu treated us like this, and we even suspected that she was trying to escape."

"Isn't this judging a gentleman by one's own mean character?"

……

The people were talking one after another, leaving Xu Zhengtao speechless.

Under pressure from the people, Xu Zhengtao also apologized to Xu Yingying.

"I'm sorry, Lord Xu. I was just making up stories and making false accusations against you. I apologize now."

Xu Yingying raised her head triumphantly when she heard this, then looked at Xu Zhengtao who was gritting his teeth and said, "Okay, I hope you can be a good person and not judge others by your own standards. Don't be so reckless next time and think twice before you act."

After Xu Yingying finished speaking, she realized that her plan to escape had failed and she could only take her things and return the same way.

As soon as Xu Yingying stepped into the Xu Mansion, she saw Li Siqi sitting on a chair in the courtyard. It was obvious that he was waiting for her.

"Hey, Master Xu, I heard you were carrying a bag so early in the morning. Where were you going?"

Facing Li Siqi's weird tone, Xu Yingying was obviously prepared. "I felt very bored staying in the mansion, so I went out to get some fresh air this morning. What's wrong? You're not allowed to get some fresh air?"

Li Siqi snorted coldly after hearing this. He was unwilling to argue with Xu Yingying, and was too lazy to expose his tricks.

"I advise you to put aside those inappropriate thoughts of yours and thoroughly investigate this case. It will be good for both you and me." Li Siqi warned Xu Yingying.

When Xu Yingying thought about the fact that this was in ancient times when the underworld was supreme, Li Siqi's words were indeed very intimidating.

Xu Yingying immediately wilted like an eggplant hit by frost, and nodded weakly, "Okay."

Just then Camellia came back.

When Xu Yingying saw Chahua coming back, her eyes lit up immediately. She quickly ran to Chahua and said excitedly, "Do you have any clues?"
