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

"Oh? Who are you?" Xu Yingying folded her arms and looked directly at the bully in front of her.

The bully didn't expect Xu Yingying to not fall for his trick. He was stunned for a moment and then became even more angry.

"What? Do you really think I won't hit women?" The man had a gloomy face and clenched his fists as if he was ready to punch her in the next second.

Xu Yingying looked at the man warily, and carefully protected the woman behind her as she took a few steps back.

"You are robbing a woman, but you will be taken to the government office. I advise you to be careful." Xu Yingying didn't want to use violence. She was certainly not afraid of the man in front of her, but she was afraid that if she really started fighting, the girl behind her would get hurt.

"Well, if you don't accept my toast, then don't blame me for being rude." Seeing that Xu Yingying still wanted to intervene in the matter, the man was already getting ready to take action.

Xu Yingying subconsciously responded, and the girl behind her grabbed the corner of Xu Yingying's clothes tightly and shrank back timidly.

"Don't be afraid, I won't let him succeed." Xu Yingying said to the girl, slightly tilting her head.

At this time, Li Siqi also came to Xu Yingying's side and looked at the man in front of him vigilantly.

"Yingying, what happened?" Li Siqi asked.

"It's just a robbery of a woman. Why are you here? I can handle this matter." Xu Yingying smiled at Li Siqi. It was just a small matter. Of course she could handle it.

Seeing another man coming, the bully sneered, "Why, you called a pretty boy over? If that's the case, don't blame me for being rude!"

After saying that, the bully rushed forward.

"Protect her." Xu Yingying pushed the girl behind her to behind Li Siqi, then rushed forward and faced the bully's fist directly.

The bully thought he could subdue Xu Yingying with one punch, but he didn't expect that he would be the one being subdued. The bully only looked muscular, but was actually very empty inside. Xu Yingying had a little internal strength and used some skills to throw the bully to the ground in one fell swoop.

The bully was stunned and wanted to fight back, but Xu Yingying slapped him on the acupuncture point. The man instantly became limp and could not use any strength. He could not even make a sound. "Just stay in jail."

After saying that, Xu Yingying threw the person directly to the belated yamen runner, and then dragged Li Siqi and the girl away.

After walking for a while, the girl looked at Xu Yingying with tears in her eyes and knelt down directly, "I, Shaoyuan, would like to thank you for saving my life."

Xu Yingying was frightened by her action and subconsciously jumped to the side. Are you kidding? If she was really knelt down, it would shorten her life. Xu Yingying didn't think her life was too long.

"You get up first. It's just a piece of cake. You can't just watch a young girl like you get ruined by that kind of man." Xu Yingying helped Zhao Shaoyuan up.

"Thank you, young lady. I just don't know your and this gentleman's names. I will be able to repay you in the future." Zhao Shaoyuan opened his big round eyes and looked extremely innocent.

When Xu Yingying saw Zhao Shaoyuan like this, she felt pity for him, but considering the special identities of herself and Li Siqi, she made up two names and told Zhao Shaoyuan.

Zhao Shaoyuan smiled at Xu Yingying, "It's getting late. If you two don't mind, I would like to treat you two to a meal. How about that? It will also help me repay you for saving my life."

Xu Yingying wanted to refuse at first, but with the idea of ​​getting to know the people, she readily agreed, "Okay, okay, I'm hungry too, so I'll try your cooking, Shaoyuan."

Li Siqi didn't trust Zhao Shaoyuan as much as Xu Yingying. She always felt that she had seen the woman in front of her somewhere, but she couldn't remember where.

Following behind Zhao Shaoyuan, Li Siqi grabbed Xu Yingying and whispered, "I'm a little suspicious. This woman might not be simple. I always feel like I've seen her somewhere before."

"Are you overthinking it? She's just a poor girl. She even invited us to dinner. Wouldn't it be bad to doubt her?" Xu Yingying touched Li Siqi's forehead, as if wondering if he had a fever.

Li Siqi was a little speechless, but looking at Zhao Shaoyuan who was leading the way in front, he still said nothing.

There was no conversation along the way. Zhao Shaoyuan led the two into his home. After settling them down, Zhao Shaoyuan began to bustle around preparing to cook.

Li Siqi and Xu Yingying were sitting there. Xu Yingying was looking around. The next second, the sky went dark and she was pressed to the ground by someone.

Xu Yingying almost burst out with swear words, but she managed to hold them back. She thought it was Li Siqi who was attacking her, so she turned her head with difficulty, only to find that even Li Siqi was pinned to the ground.

Xu Yingying wanted to resist, but found that she seemed to have no strength at all. Xu Yingying carefully sniffed the air around her and actually smelled a little bit of the scent of muscle softener.

Xu Yingying was furious, "Who are you?"

But the man in black who was suppressing the two people did not say anything. He just tied Xu Yingying and Li Siqi tightly with their backs against each other, and they could not break free at all.

After tying it up, Zhao Shaoyuan walked out clapping his hands.

"It's really not easy to get you to take the bait, Your Highness the Ninth Prince, and...Miss Xu." Zhao Shaoyuan's face was completely different from the one Xu Yingying had just seen, and it was full of viciousness.

Xu Yingying was horrified, "Who are you?"

She didn't expect that Zhao Shaoyuan, who looked harmless, actually had such serious thoughts.

"Who am I? I guess it's not important to Miss Xu, but my master doesn't want you to leave alive, so I can only make you go to the underworld." Zhao Shaoyuan said slowly, playing with his nails.

Li Siqi stared at Zhao Shaoyuan intently. After a long while, he spoke gloomily, "It's you. You are someone close to the Imperial Concubine."

Zhao Shaoyuan froze for a moment, then smiled sarcastically.

"Your Highness the Ninth Prince really has good eyesight. He was able to recognize me. Unfortunately, it's over. You have offended the Imperial Concubine. I can only say that you deserve to die. It is an honor for you to be the stepping stone for the Imperial Concubine."

"So what's your full name?" Xu Yingying stared at Zhao Shaoyuan, "Shaoyuan shouldn't be your real name."

"Miss Xu, you are wrong. My surname is Zhao, and my full name is Zhao Shaoyuan. I did not deceive Miss Xu. It was Miss Xu and His Royal Highness the Ninth Prince who deceived me."

"Miss Zhao, what good will it do you if you harm us? You are just the imperial concubine's personal maid, serving in the dark palace."

"If you let me go, I can help you get out of that deep palace. That's killing two birds with one stone, isn't it?" Seeing that she couldn't escape, Xu Yingying could only work on Zhao Shaoyuan.
