I traveled through time and space as a little girl, and the emperor appointed me as the great master

An hour later, the Hundred Flowers Festival ended.

When the prefect saw that the flower pots were sold out in a flash, he was so delighted that he couldn't hide the smile on his face.

This year's mission was finally completed successfully.

Now I can finally report to the court.

As the emperor's money bag, he bore enormous pressure every year.

He really took great pains to both meet the targets set by the court and make the people pay willingly.

Now that the task was accomplished, he felt extremely relieved.

The prefect stood up suddenly, looked at the crowd below, and put on his official airs again: "Today's auction has come to a perfect end. I would like to express my deep gratitude and thank you all for your strong support. To express my gratitude, I hereby announce that from now on, Baihua Manor will be open to you for free for one month."

In the past, Baihua Manor was only open one day a year and was strictly controlled by the prefect. Entrance fees were required.

It's free for a month, which is incredible.

Could it be that the prefect has suddenly become generous?

It was already lunch time.

Everyone got up from their seats and prepared to leave.

At this time, Kong Xiaoxiao's clear voice rang out. She shouted at the prefect on the stage, "Prefect, I want to report a case. Someone has killed someone and dismembered him!"

This sound was like thunder, exploding in the crowd. Everyone's face changed drastically, like the sea surface that was hit by a hurricane, with turbulent waves.

When He Junlin heard Kong Xiaoxiao's words, he almost let go of Momo's hand and groaned inwardly: My little benefactor, my little benefactor, it is just as I expected. If I go out with you, I will never have a peaceful life!

The people who were about to leave, as if attracted by a magnet, retracted their feet that had already stepped out.

There is excitement to watch and gossip to talk about, how can this not be exciting?

The prefect was also shocked. His body swayed slightly, and the originally majestic expression on his face became even more solemn.

He walked down from the stage quickly, and every step seemed to step on everyone's heart, carrying a heavy sense of oppression. When he walked in front of Kong Xiaoxiao, he half-closed his eyes, his gaze was like a torch, and his official authority was fully revealed. He asked word by word: "What did you say?"

Kong Xiaoxiao showed no fear at all, and said, "I want to report Madam He and her current husband, Lin Yehai. They killed and dismembered one person, and poisoned two others, killing three people in total!"

In the crowd, Nian Yingying and Lin Yehai, who were called out by name, were struck by lightning and their legs went limp with fear.

"You... who are you? How dare you frame us!" Lin Yehai's mouth trembled with fear.

Nian Yingying quickly regained her composure. She stared at Kong Xiaoxiao fiercely, a sinister look flashing in her eyes, and shouted at the prefect at the top of her lungs:

"Sir, I know this girl. When I was queuing outside the manor today, I had a bit of heat stroke and just wanted to exchange seats with her family. I didn't expect her to ask for an exorbitant price and snatch 1000 taels from us! She also deliberately raised the price at the auction to target my He family! This kind of person is so vicious at such a young age, you must never believe what she says!"

"It's you! I said that the voice of the person bidding against me at the auction was familiar, it turned out to be you! You are deliberately making things difficult for our He family!" When Lin Yehai heard what Nian Yingying said, he suddenly realized. No wonder he felt the voice was familiar, it turned out to be the girl who extorted money.

The people who originally wanted to watch the show suddenly felt like they were poured with a bucket of cold water and lost all interest.

It turned out that this was just a fight between two families with a grudge against each other.

Kong Xiaoxiao listened to the two people's words calmly, and then raised a sneer: "Sir, you can immediately send officials to the He family's house to dig up the bodies. Under her pear tree is the body of He Peng, the head of the He family, and the two concubines of the He family. She gave them poison and drove them out of the house. They died outside. Kind people buried them at the foot of the mountain at the city gate."

"Let's look at the faces of these two people. Mrs. He has a typical peach blossom mouth, a crooked philtrum, two eyes that are one large and one small, and the distance between them is very wide. She has a high nose, raised eyebrows, and a slightly raised tear trough. All of these show that she is unruly, particularly obsessed with matters between men and women, and very likely to cheat.

The reason why she and Lin Yehai betrayed the head of the He family was because the head of the He family discovered their scandal, and that’s why they were killed.”

When the prefect heard this, he looked at the two men from the He family again. Seeing their panicked expressions, his face immediately darkened and he shouted at Constable Liu, "Tie these two men up for me, and immediately send someone to dig up the bodies from the He family!"

After making the arrangements, the prefect frowned again, turned his head sharply and looked at Kong Xiaoxiao, and asked sternly: "How did you know about this?"

How could an outsider know that there was a corpse hidden in the He family’s inner courtyard?

Kong Xiaoxiao shook her head helplessly and sighed, "I only know all this because of He Peng's ghost."

The prefect: ...

Is this girl teasing him? When he thought of this, his face suddenly turned as cold as frost, and his voice became cold: "Do you know what crime you should be punished for teasing an official appointed by the court?"

"Sir, why are you so anxious? When the people who dig up the body come back, won't the truth be revealed?"

Kong Xiaoxiao was also helpless. This is a merit that has been delivered to her! Sir, you have such a bad temper.

The prefect pondered over what Kong Xiaoxiao said, and felt that he was too impatient just now. He would soon know whether it was true or not, and he could wait.

He straightened his official robe and sat down in the nearest seat: "Okay, I'll wait."

As the sun got hotter and hotter, time passed by, and the excavation team finally came back. Lin Yehai and Nian Yingying, who were tied up, saw the ugly faces of the excavation team and felt as if they were drenched in ice water from head to toe. They felt cold inside. It's over!

Lin Yehai's ability to withstand stress is actually even lower than Nian Yingying's.

He passed out directly.

When Constable Liu reported back, his face was as pale as paper and his mouth was as if it was tied in a knot: "Sir, we found a body. The coroner said...it was a male body."

Oh my God! When he saw the body today, he was so scared that he vomited all the food he had eaten in the morning.

What a huge hatred! Not only did they cut the body into pieces, they also cut off the head, hands, and feet and buried them neatly. Even the internal organs were missing, probably because they were fed to dogs.

Thinking of these scenes, he still hasn't come to his senses.

When the prefect heard the report from Constable Liu, his face turned ashen and his hair stood on end with rage. He pointed at the distracted Nian Yingying and the unconscious Lin Yehai on the ground and said angrily: "Take these two damned people back to the government office!"
