After hoarding billions of goods and traveling through the book, he farmed in another world to suppo

On the wall facing the main entrance, there is a plaque with a bright mirror hanging high. On the table below, there are things like pens, ink, paper and inkstone, as well as a gavel and a bamboo tube placed beside it, with some signs inside that are unknown what they are used for.

The area below the courtroom was empty. Now, apart from the small area against the wall where they were sitting, the huge courtroom was completely empty. There wasn't even a bench. The chairs they were sitting on were moved from the side hall.

If you don't look closely, this place looks similar to the house in their village before anyone lived in it, but the feeling it gives is completely different.

The house had been deserted for a long time and was therefore deserted and depressing. Although it was also empty here, it gave people a sense of solemnity and dignity, and even people would subconsciously lower their voices when speaking.

Lu Yuan looked around for a while, then retracted her gaze and whispered to Xiao Li, "Husband, do you think this place will be haunted at night?"

"Where is this place?" Xiao Li looked at him with a smile, guiding him to think for himself.

Lu Yuan didn't even need to think about this question, and blurted out: "The government office!"

"Yes," Xiao Li nodded slightly and gave him an encouraging look, "Then what is this place used for?"

"Punish evil and promote good!" In Lu Yuan's limited knowledge, this is his understanding of the government office.

Xiao Li nodded in agreement with his answer and asked him, "Since this is a place where evil is punished and good is promoted, even if there is a ghost, do you think he would be afraid of the place that once punished him?"

Lu Yuan:!!!

He had never thought of such a theory. His eyes widened for a long time before he swallowed hard and instinctively moved closer to him. "So, my husband, is there really a ghost in this place?"

"...Yuan'er, you know how to grasp the key points." Xiao Li was silent for a moment, then squeezed his soft hand, feeling both amused and helpless. "This is the court, a place of righteousness. As long as the person in power isn't a corrupt official, I don't think anyone would be so careless as to come here, right?"

Lu Yuan frowned slightly and said "Ah" in dissatisfaction and confusion, "So is there or not?"

"Hmm..." Xiao Li fell into deep thought. Logically speaking, as an atheist, he should have answered that there are no ghosts, but...

He glanced at his young husband, then thought about his miraculous experience of coming to this place, and thought to himself: If the dead are ghosts, then there is one in front of you, and it is your husband.

But when he met his young husband's slightly uneasy gaze, he finally shook his head and said, "No, how could there be ghosts in this world? They are all used by charlatans to deceive people. Don't be afraid, Yuan'er."

"I'm not afraid!" Lu Yuan straightened her back, tightly holding his hand while saying stubbornly, "My husband is so powerful, even if there really is a ghost, he can drive it away! I'm not afraid! I'm not afraid at all!"

If he hadn't repeatedly said he wasn't afraid, Xiao Li might have believed him.

This guy's appearance of trying to hide something is so adorable that it makes people want to bully him.

Xiao Li rested his elbows on the armrest, supporting his chin with his hands, and looked at him with a half-smile, "Are you really not afraid?"

Just as Lu Yuan was about to say that she was "not afraid", she heard footsteps outside the courtroom. She subconsciously closed her mouth and turned to look outside.

When Lu Yuan saw the young man dressed in official attire and with a distinguished demeanor, she instinctively changed his appearance to that of her husband, and then discovered...

If my husband wore this kind of official uniform, he would look a thousand times better!

Xiao Li didn't know what he was thinking. He only knew that he was staring at the handsome Chu Huaiqing and couldn't help but raise his eyebrows.

When Chu Huaiqing saw the two of them, he paused slightly and did not notice their "strange" gazes.

As he walked in, Xiao Li and the other man stood up, clasped their fists and bowed, saying, "Greetings, sir."

Chu Huaiqing didn't expect that he would see Xiao Li again after three years.

Suppressing the feeling of closeness in his heart, Chu Huaiqing raised his hand expressionlessly, "No need to be polite, sit down."

At the same time, he also sat down on the chair that the yamen runner had just brought, and the coroner also sat next to him.

Xiao Li and Lu Yuan looked at each other, then sat back.

During this time, Chu Huaiqing had been looking at the two of them.

To be precise, he was looking at Xiao Li, and Lu Yuan beside him was just there by the way.

Compared to the boy with a cold look in his eyes three years ago, Xiao Li's eyes are still indifferent, but there is a bit more inner peace in his eyes, and he no longer looks unapproachable.

Maybe it's the changes brought about by time, or maybe...

Chu Huaiqing looked at Lu Yuan next to him for a moment and thought: Maybe it has something to do with that handsome young man.

When he met Xiao Li on the street, he was alone, but now he has a young man with him. Judging from their behavior, they should be a couple.

It was a chance encounter. At the time, he was on the verge of offending Zhou Yucheng, so even though he felt friendly towards Xiao Li, it was difficult for him to contact him. Later, when Zhou Yucheng left, when he sent people to look for Xiao Li, the place was already empty. However...

Thinking of the news he had received not long ago, he looked at Xiao Li with a bit of scrutiny.

Most people don't have such well-informed information. Besides being a scholar, Xiao Li must have other identities...

While he was looking at Xiao Li and the others, Xiao Li and the others were also looking at him.

No different from the high-spirited prefect three years ago, Chu Huaiqing still had that handsome appearance and extraordinary temperament.

Xiao Li only looked for a moment, then retracted his gaze and fell on the young man beside him.

It doesn’t matter to him whether other men are good-looking or not; his husband is still more handsome.

He still felt this way even though that person might be his cheap elder brother or had some relationship with his cheap elder brother.

However, when he turned his head and saw the young husband staring at Chu Huaiqing with secretive eyes, he felt that even if Chu Huaiqing was his adopted brother, he would not welcome him very much.

Just as he was very sharp in his gaze towards Lu Yuan, Lu Yuan was equally sharp in her gaze towards him.

Retracting her gaze and meeting his dark eyes, Lu Yuan was slightly startled. She approached him calmly and asked softly, "Husband, what's wrong?"

"I'm jealous." Xiao Li replied in a low voice, his eyes never leaving him.

Hearing this, Lu Yuan was stunned and opened and closed his mouth several times, not knowing what to say.

They have been together for three or four years, so he naturally knows that "jealousy" is not real jealousy, but jealousy out of sourness.

In addition to being "jealous", her husband also said a lot of interesting words to him.

But things like jealousy were usually used for flirting, and he remembered that his husband had never been jealous.

Everything was fine now, why is my husband suddenly jealous?

Because of surprise, the young husband's narrow and charming peach blossom eyes widened slightly, weakening some of his charm and adding some of his innocence.

In the past, Xiao Li loved to tease him on purpose and make him look like this, but looking at it now, he just wanted to hide him and not let anyone see him.

But he knew very well that he couldn't do that. He and Yuan'er were independent individuals and both had absolute autonomy and freedom.

If he really did that, perhaps Yuan'er wouldn't be angry, but he couldn't bully him just because he wouldn't be angry.

Sighing inwardly, Xiao Li smiled and shook his head almost imperceptibly at him, "It's okay, let's talk about it when we get back."

After all, there were outsiders present, and if he really got jealous, it would only make others laugh at him. He wouldn't be so insensitive as to not know the seriousness of the matter.

"Are you really okay?" Lu Yuan stared at him suspiciously. "Even if my husband gets jealous, I won't laugh at you. Don't worry."

Hearing this, Xiao Li was at a loss whether to laugh or cry. "I'm not Yuan'er, I don't have that much jealousy to eat. Even if I really am jealous, Yuan'er, don't worry, I will make it up to you."

Outsiders are outsiders after all, and the husband is his own, so he can do whatever he wants, especially when the husband is in bed, he is not only obedient and soft, but also very bullying.

Lu Yuan naturally understood the hidden meaning in his words. Her face turned red and she glared at him unhappily. She pushed his hand away and moved to the side, no longer staying close to him.

In broad daylight, with strangers watching, how dare he, he, he, he! How shameless!

Knowing that he was thin-skinned, Xiao Li stopped teasing him. He put away his smile and looked expressionlessly at Chu Huaiqing, who was sitting opposite him. "Master Chu, have you seen enough?"

The tone was far from friendly. Chu Huaiqing didn't know how he had offended him. He was silent for a moment before nodding, "I've seen enough."

Perhaps he knew that his reaction was inappropriate, so he didn't give him a chance to speak and directly stated his purpose.

It was nothing more than this murder case, asking them how they found the body, whether there was anyone else around at the time, etc.

Although Xiao Li was a little "jealous", he still let his young husband answer to train his communication skills. He would only occasionally add a sentence or two when his young husband said something inadequate.

After a few interactions, by the end, Chu Huaiqing had discovered how the two of them could get along.

They are said to be husband and wife, but in fact they are more like master and disciple.

Although this was a homicide case, the coroner was an old hand and determined from the beginning that the victim died of suicide, but the cause of suicide was unknown.

What Chu Huaiqing wanted to know was why the other party wanted to commit suicide in the city for no reason.

If this was the only murder case like this, Chu Huaiqing might not have personally intervened, but as luck would have it, a similar murder occurred in Yangzhou City almost three years ago.

However, after much investigation, what he could finally confirm was that the other party died at his own hands, and no one in the huge Yangzhou city knew him.

For some reason, Chu Huaiqing had the same premonition this time. Even if he asked someone to post a notice, the result would probably not be optimistic.

Lu Yuan didn't understand what he was worried about and couldn't help him, so she looked at Xiao Li.

Because of the slight disagreement just now, he didn't pull Xiao Li's hand like before. Instead, he gently tugged at his sleeve and asked him in a low voice: "That man killed himself. Will this case be closed soon and we can go home?"

Although they had a manor house and a grand mansion in the capital, he didn't have many good memories of Yangliu Village, but it was where he grew up after all, and he would inevitably miss it sometimes after being away for a long time.

It would be fine if they couldn't go back, but they are already on the way. If they delay too long and run into disaster victims, it may be detrimental to their journey home.

Although the husband's space is very powerful, they cannot expose it to avoid trouble.

Seeing what he was worried about, Xiao Li held his fingers and gently stroked the back of his hand with his thumb, "Maybe, Yuan'er is missing home?"

Lu Yuan nodded hesitantly, "A little, but not too much."

It would be a lie to say how much he missed it, but he really wanted to go back to Yangliu Village to see the mountains, rivers, neighbors and so on.

Xiao Li didn't spend too long in Yangliu Village, and the few memories he had were all related to the people in front of him. He didn't really care whether he returned to Yangliu Village or not.

But before he left, his grandparents and his third uncle all looked for him and asked him to go back to the village and help if there was any way he could.

Of course, the premise for doing so is that their family of four is safe and will not be in danger.

After all, no matter how close neighbors are, they are not as close as family members who live together day and night.

He couldn't empathize with those feelings, but he wouldn't stop them. Seeing his young husband like this, he thought for a moment before saying, "So, are we going to live in the village then?"

Because he had a house in the city, his first thought was to live in the city. That way, even if there were disaster victims around, at least there would be city walls to stop them. He wouldn't have to worry about someone appearing out of nowhere like in the village.

If Xiao Li was alone, he would not be afraid, but he not only brought his husband with him, but also two young children, so he had to think more about it.

But if my husband wants to move back to the village, I don't want to disappoint him. But if that happens, there will be more things to pay attention to.

Lu Yuan was not someone without self-awareness. She knew that she would not be as comprehensive in her considerations as he was, so she did not act recklessly. "I will listen to my husband. We will live wherever he thinks is best. When I am free during the day, I can take Jing'er and Xue'er back to visit."

How could Xiao Li not see that he was considerate and sensible?

Sighing inwardly, Xiao Li softly promised him, "After these few years, I'll accompany Yuan'er wherever she wants to go, okay?"

"Hmm." Lu Yuan thought about where she wanted to go, but couldn't think of anything, so she sighed, "But I don't have anywhere I want to go."

"It's okay, Yuan'er, you can take your time to think about it." Xiao Li, like him, basically knew about the territory of the Great Zhou Dynasty from books. They had the same starting point. "When we think of a place to go, we'll go. If not, we'll just look around."

"Okay." Lu Yuan curved her eyebrows and looked at him with a bright smile.

The two of them acted as if they were alone, leaving the two people opposite them, who had been widowed for decades, speechless.

Wu Zuo: "..."

Chu Huaiqing: "..."
