The little village girl dressed as a disaster star led the whole village astray

"Sir, I can't stop you."

The housekeeper came in a hurry, but because someone was stopping him outside, he could only stand in the yard and shout towards the study.

"Get up." Liu Yuanfeng glanced at Jiang Jingshi, "Don't worry, as long as you tell the truth, I will keep you and your family safe."

Chiang Ching-shih knew that this was both a promise and a threat, but he had no choice but to grit his teeth and agree.

At this moment, he deeply regretted why he seduced Liu Yanran and why he did not stop her from killing people.

Sometimes we look back suddenly and realize that every previous choice seemed to be wrong, but the bitter fruit has already been borne, so we can only move on.

Everyone has to pay the price for their choices.

Jiang Jingshi followed Liu Yuanfeng in a daze. Liu Yuanfeng opened the door of the study and waved his hand to let the servants disperse. The housekeeper hurriedly ran forward holding up his clothes and said, "Sir, I really can't stop them. They are right behind us..."

Before the housekeeper finished speaking, Zhang Hao had already led his men into the yard.

He waved his hand to signal the people behind him to stop, and only brought two yamen runners forward, bowed and saluted, "Greetings, Minister Liu."

Liu Yuanfeng said with a grim expression, "Jingzhao Prefecture is so majestic. I am the Minister of Revenue appointed by His Majesty himself. How can I allow you to provoke me?"

"What are you talking about, Minister Liu? It's not a provocation. We are just doing errands for His Majesty." Zhang Hao said with a smile.

Liu Yuanfeng obviously did not expect Zhang Hao to say this. He looked at Zhang Hao with a frown. He was a stranger and he had never seen him before. However, anyone who dared to speak to him like this must not be an ordinary person.

It was also at this time that he noticed that the man was not wearing official or yamen runner's uniform, but a casual suit.

He suppressed his displeasure and asked, "Who are you? What is your position?"

Zhang Hao cupped his hands and said, "I am Zhang Hao, not a Beijing official. This time I am here on the orders of my general to capture the suspect in the murder of Princess Leyang. I hope Minister Liu will help me."

After he finished speaking, he glanced at Jiang Jingshi behind Liu Yuanfeng. Jiang Jingshi noticed his gaze and tried hard to suppress the instinct to lower his head and avoid him, pretending to look at him as if nothing had happened.

Liu Yuanfeng clenched his fists behind his back and said, "General, this man is Gu Jingzhi's man."

"Even General Gu's men cannot arrest people without reason. Do you have any evidence?"

Zhang Hao had long guessed that he would not let himself take the person away so easily. After all, the person to be taken away was their cousin, so he had to make some effort just for his face.

"Minister Liu, we won't arrest anyone without evidence, but since this case involves Princess Leyang, I cannot share the details of the case. Please forgive me."

Although he had expected this to happen, Liu Yuanfeng still frowned after seeing him being so disrespectful. "In that case, Jingshi, you should go with them."

"Yes." Jiang Jingshi walked out from behind Liu Yuanfeng.

Zhang Hao signaled the runner beside him to go and take the man away, and bowed to Liu Yuanfeng, "In that case, we'll take our leave now."

Liu Yuanfeng looked at him and said, "Someone, show him away!"

Jiang Jingshi left with a pale face, following Zhang Hao and others.

Seeing the person disappear in front of him, Liu Yuanfeng's face darkened completely, "Go and get the young lady here for me!"

After saying that, he waved his sleeves and turned into the room.

Zhang Hao naturally didn't know what happened in the Shangshu Mansion. He was busy taking people back at the moment.

He glanced at Jiang Jingshi, who was following behind him and was sandwiched between two yamen runners. Although he pretended to be calm, his pale face and slightly trembling hands showed that he was not calm at the moment.

Zhang Hao curled the corners of his lips, said nothing, and just quickened his pace.

……

Soon Zhang Hao brought Jiang Jingshi back to Jingzhao Prefecture. When he arrived, Gu Jingzhi had already left.

"Deputy General Zhang, General Gu has already left. Just hand this man over to Jingzhao Prefecture, and leave the rest to us." Jingzhao Yin said.

"it is good."

Zhang Hao completed the handover promptly. It would be bad if they didn't have to do the work.

……

In fact, not long after Zhang Hao and his men left, Gu Jingzhi also left. He had already sent people to arrest the suspect, and the interrogation would be done by Jingzhao Yin. He hadn't spent a good time with Axi for several days, otherwise he would not have let her go to a place like Nanfeng Pavilion.

After Gu Jingzhi returned home, he went to Li Xi's yard. When he arrived, Li Xi was sitting on a chair, looking at the sky blankly.

He stood outside the yard and looked at her, feeling that she was very different at this moment from before. Her eyes were empty and she looked very lonely. She seemed to be looking at the sky, but it seemed that she was looking through the sky to a more distant place.

At this moment, she gave people a feeling of being detached from everything, as if she was about to fly away with the wind in the next moment.

Gu Jingzhi's eyes deepened. Who was she and where did she come from? She was a historical story, a historical figure, and had superb medical skills that had never appeared in history.

His mind was full of questions, but at the moment he didn't care about the answers to these questions, "Axi."

Li Xi heard the voice and looked towards him.

He raised a smile and walked towards her. At this moment, he only hoped that she could see him in her eyes. No matter who she was, as long as she was by his side at this moment, it would be fine.

"Why are you free today?"

Li Xi stood up and walked towards him with a smile, and Gu Jingzhi held her hand.

"I remember you issued a military order, but time is running out."

"It's enough." Gu Jingzhi pulled her to sit down.

"It seems there is some clue." Li Xi raised his eyebrows.

Gu Jingzhi did not deny it, "The truth will soon come to light."

Li Xi's eyes lit up and she took his arm, "Tell me?"

She was bored at the time, so she listened to the case to kill time and satisfy her curiosity.

"Want to listen?" Gu Jingzhi lowered his head and looked at her with a smile.

Li Xi nodded, "I think so."

"Bai Ting?" Gu Jingzhi looked at her with dark eyes.

Li Xi: ………

Li Xi let go of his arm, crossed her arms, and looked at him speechlessly, "I still prefer the innocent you of the past."

Gu Jingzhi raised his eyebrows and smiled, "Really? But I like myself better now."

Li Xi narrowed her eyes. This person is really becoming more and more shameless.

She looked around and saw that there was no one around, so she approached Gu Jingzhi and quickly kissed him on the lips, "Okay, you can tell me now."

Gu Jingzhi looked down at her, "Not enough."

As he spoke, he placed one hand behind her head and the other on her waist, pulling her towards him. He looked at her tender red lips and bent down to kiss her. His kiss this time was very urgent, and before Li Xi could react, she was pulled into the tide of passion by him.

He didn't let her go until she couldn't breathe from the kiss and hit him with her hands.

It was a sunny day, and Li Xi didn't expect him to kiss her so passionately. Her ears to her neck were all flushed.

"Are you crazy?"
