After traveling through time, she still led the villagers to make money as a county magistrate

"Chen Hao, do you know where the latest case files are?" Gu Niannian looked at Chen Hao and asked

"As for cases, the most recent one is the robbery case. Chief Clerk He has already caught the thief, so it can be considered... the case has been solved..."

The more Chen Hao spoke, the quieter his voice became.

Gu Niannian didn't expect this to happen. When she first went to Qingshan County, even though there was Li Jing, there were still a few unsolved cases.

Who on earth is this He Feng? How could such a powerful and capable person be content to be just a bookkeeper? Gu Niannian was a little confused.

“Are there any cases that have not been solved before?”

Gu Nian Nian thought for a moment and asked

"Previous case?"

A quarter of an hour later

Chen Hao still shook his head, "I came late, and I haven't heard of the unsolved cases before."

"What case? I know of one unsolved case."

Zhou Mi came in with a lunch box

"You came later than me, I didn't even know, how did you know?" Chen Hao asked in confusion

"It's really hard to talk about this. In the end, it's actually my cousin's fault."

Zhou Mi said as he took the food from the lunch box to the table

"I was only five years old at the time, and this matter was quite a big deal. My cousin had a mistress, and she had a child. I went to my cousin's house to make a scene. My cousin was going to give her some money to send her away with the child, but the woman refused and only asked to be a concubine."

"Did your cousin agree?"

Gu Niannian picked up a piece of fish with chopsticks and put it in her bowl, picking out the bones one by one.

The movements were so delicate that both Chen Hao and Zhou Mi were dumbfounded. In their eyes, all men were big and strong, but they could find faults so carefully. Not to mention that the county magistrate had slender fingers. Even such artificial movements did not look out of place in his hands, and even looked good. How come!

Seeing that no one answered her for a long time, Gu Niannian looked up and saw these two people looking straight at her.

Cough twice, "cough...cough cough"

The two finally realized what was happening. Zhou Mi scratched his head and laughed, "I've never seen a man pick out the bones of fish so well, and he picks them out so beautifully."

Upon hearing this, Gu Niannian's ears turned slightly red, and she explained, "When I was a child, something choked on my throat while eating, and then I developed this habit after eating fish."

"Oh!" Zhou Mi touched the tip of his nose

"Then what shall I say?"

"Well, continue." Gu Niannian nodded

"My cousin disagrees. It's not that he disagrees, but it's mainly because my aunt is too strong and she doesn't want to. My cousin relied on my aunt to build his family."

"Wait ~ Zhou family, I remember that Master Zhou had quite a few concubines!" Gu Niannian remembered that Gu Bole had given a woman to Master Zhou before.

"That's now. My aunt is old, and all the family property has been passed on to my cousin. To make up for the regrets of that time, I have found women who look like my mistress."

Chen Hao, "How do you know these things?"

"These things are unknown to you outsiders, but the Zhou family basically knows everything."

"By the way, you must not tell anyone about this!"

"What does this have to do with the case?" Gu Niannian asked

"It's not really a case. The concubine committed suicide by jumping into a well because her cousin didn't want her to marry him."

With a snap, Gu Niannian picked up the bowl and dropped it back on the table.

"died?"

"Well, he should be dead. I was playing at my cousin's house when I found the body."

"Where's the body?"

At this time, a gust of wind blew outside, making a whistling sound. It sounded very creepy.

"This is what's so strange about it. The body was found at noon, and after the case was reported, the officials came at noon, and the body had disappeared!"

"Gone?"

"Have you looked around?"

"I looked for it, but I couldn't find it. It was noon, and the guards were just having lunch when he disappeared!"

"We all suspected that the person was not dead, but just fainted, and ran away after waking up."

"You guys? Are you sure you were only five years old at that time? You remember it so clearly."

Gu Niannian and Chen Hao both looked at Zhou Mi with suspicion.

Zhou Mi felt embarrassed by being stared at, and touched the tip of his nose, "Ah! Don't look at me like that, I don't remember all of this myself, some of it was told to me by my mother, okay!"

"But I was the first one to discover the body. That day happened to be my cousin's 30th birthday."

"Do you still remember what the corpse looked like?"

Zhou Mi shook his head, "The body was lying face down, so I couldn't see its face."

Gu Niannian rinsed her mouth after eating and suddenly thought of something

"You said before that he had a son. Where is the child? Why haven't you mentioned him since then?"

“No, I didn’t see it later.”

"How old was the child then? Do you know?"

"I remember that time...well, he was a little taller than me, but I really don't know his exact age. I only met him once."

"Okay, I got it, you guys go ahead and get busy!"

On the way out, Chen Hao and Zhou Mi

Zhou Mi bumped into Chen Hao's arm. Chen Hao looked at him in confusion, "What are you doing?"

"Don't tell me, the county magistrate seems pretty good."

Chen Hao rolled his eyes at him and said, "It was you who scolded him, and it's you who is saying good things about him now."

"I didn't know him before, but now...I think he's a good guy and he's pretty good looking."

"Although it's still worse than mine," Zhou Mi said narcissistically

"Hey, why are you walking so fast? Is there anything wrong with what I said?"

Chen Hao looked like he was comparing himself to the county magistrate and had no idea what he was doing.

It would not be easy for Gu Niannian to find the case file from more than ten years ago. After searching for half an hour, she still found nothing. She had no choice but to put the matter aside and ask County Magistrate Wu tomorrow. He has been here for so many years and he must know something about it.

After finishing everything, it was almost midnight and curfew was about to start.

The Great Holy Dynasty has a regulation that people are not allowed to wander the streets during curfew hours, which is from around nine o'clock in the evening to around five o'clock in the morning.

Those who disobeyed the order were first warned by the string of an empty bowstring. If they refused to obey, they would be shot at the feet with a sword. If they continued to disobey, they would be shot dead.

There was no other way, Gu Niannian could only spend the night in the government office. Fortunately, it was autumn now and the weather was not so hot. There was also a special yard and beds for rest in the government office.

Gu Niannian only took off her official uniform and slept in her inner clothes. She was an extremely insecure person and originally wanted to sleep with her clothes on, but when she thought that she had to wear this official uniform to meet people tomorrow, she took it off and hung it on the clothes hanger.

One night, half asleep and half awake, I don’t know why, but I kept dreaming of someone lying on the bed. I didn’t know if it was Li Jing or He Feng.

After waking up, Gu Niannian patted her cheek and said in disbelief, "Could it be that I'm getting old and thinking about love?"

"No way, no way, why would I be thinking about spring? There are so many things waiting for me to do, how can I think about these things?"

Gu Niannian shook her head, trying to get rid of the thoughts in her mind.
