Chapter 229 - Why did you have to start today if you knew earlier? "

"Did you find out the truth, or did you just find a scapegoat to lie to?" Pu Sheng scoffed, he never thought that not even two years after taking office, this Prefect of Jiangzhou would make such a big mistake.

"This official doesn't dare." Chiang replied with a trembling voice as he wiped away the sweat on his forehead.

Pu Sheng slapped the table with his palm, causing a muffled sound to ring out. Just like how he was now, Jiang Li was so shocked that he didn't even dare to make a sound.

"Looks like you, as a Prefect, have grown tired of acting like one." Pu Sheng looked at Jiang Li who was trembling on the ground and snorted, "If I knew this was going to happen, why would I have done it like this? As a prefect, you do not act impartially. You want to remove harm for the sake of the people, and you still want to shirk your responsibilities.

When Jiang Li heard this, he knew that it was time for him to step forward. He hurriedly kowtowed and apologized, "Lord, this official knows his wrongs and begs Lord to give me a chance to fix myself."

"Lord, this kind of dog officer cannot be left alive!" Qing Yao interrupted from the side. Recalling the previous actions of the dog officer, she couldn't calm down at all.

Why didn't Pu Sheng understand this logic? The worm was always a worm, so how could he change his mind after a few words?

His Eye Color slowly sank down and said: "Men, send Jiang Li to prison. We will decide this matter after this official has informed the Governor."

Constable Feng obeyed and carried Jiang Li up with a constable.

Jiang Li was struggling non-stop to beg for mercy, causing Pu Sheng's face to turn ugly. He never thought that the Jiangzhou Prefecture Overseer would actually be this kind of person, every time he came to inspect, he would do it extremely well, but he didn't expect it to be just on the surface.

Pu Sheng looked at Yun Qin and Qing Yao: "I wonder if the two misses have the time now, tell me more clues about the case."

Yun Qin readily agreed.

The two of them stayed in the magistrate court and chatted with Pu Sheng about the case. Not long later, Constable Feng returned to participate.

After the Patrol Officer heard this, he analyzed the situation and said, "This means that murderer not only used his braids to injure people, but also used his sharp objects to stab them. Another characteristic of this is that he only killed after interacting with people a few times."

"Yes, Lord." They have already investigated the deceased, and both of them had more or less contact with Yue Xin before they died.

"Since that's the case, there must be a time when the murderer will commit another crime. What we need to do now is to send people to stand guard outside the Wind Moon Restaurant." Pu Sheng said.

Yun Qin said: "Earlier, we were also guarding outside Wind Moon Restaurant, but we did not find anything suspicious."

"With the official watching, the murderer cannot always be doing well. Sooner or later, there will be a day when they reveal themselves." Pu Sheng said, "At that time, if you get someone to take turns guarding, if you disguise yourself again, you will find out something."

"What Lord said makes sense." Constable Feng agreed.

Yun Qin thought about the lady she rescued in the residence and told Pu Sheng about her. Pu Sheng said with great importance on her: "This lady, it is very likely that she has made a breakthrough. When she wakes up, if there is any news from her, please send someone to the officials' residence to inform them."

"Of course." Yun Qin replied.

After discussing most of the matters, Yun Qin bid farewell to Qing Yao and left the County Yamen.

and Qing Yao entered the house. Yun Qin looked at the two of them in surprise, she did not expect the two of them to be able to sit together peacefully and raise her eyebrows, "What are you chatting about?"

"Where did you go?" Ye Han's tone did not hide his concern.

Yun Qin sighed: "Didn't Yi Ren tell you? Yao Yao and I are going out to shop. " She seemed to have thought of something and took out the purple jade from his bosom, saying proudly, "Well, I picked up a treasure on the street today."

Ye Han lowered his eyes to look at it, and with just a glance, he recognized that it was a top-grade good piece of jade.

Wen Le was attracted by the gentle color of the jade, and took it from Yun Qin's hand. He squinted his eyes at the light, and sighed as if he was an idiot: "Crystal clear, hey, did you really pick it up?"

"How is that possible? Yao Yao and I met a Lord being on the street today, guess who it was?" Her eyes lit up as she deliberately tried to keep them in suspense.

Qing Yao added: "This person, is so great that even dog officer has to be afraid of him."

Wen Le said disdainfully: "Tch, what is there to be afraid of in dog officer? Isn't he also afraid of me, this Godly Doctor? "

"Come on." Qing Yao rolled his eyes, signalling Yun Qin to publicly announce the answer.

Yun Qin's tone could not hide her surprise: "It's the patrolling Lord."

"Pu Sheng came to Jiangzhou?" Ye Han raised his eyebrows slightly.

"Yeah, and this purple jade was exchanged with me." Yun Qin retrieved the purple jade from Wen Le's hand, the happiness in his tone couldn't be hidden either. This jade is a treasure.

Ye Han's lips curved into a smile. "Pu Sheng loves to play with the antiques.

Yun Qin replied happily. Wen Niang suddenly ran in from outside the door: "Madam, that girl is awake!"

Hearing that, Yun Qin's eyes curved, and said to Qing Yao: "Let's go take a look." Her gaze landed on Wen Le, "You should go too, and see if she needs to change the medicine or something."

Wen Le nodded.

The three of them went to the room and saw that the woman's eyes were empty as she stared unblinkingly at a certain spot. If her lips weren't slightly moving, the crowd might have thought that she was still unconscious.

"Water... "Water..." There was a soft trickle from her lips.

Yi Ren stood the closest to her, and after understanding his words, he immediately turned around and went to the table to pour her a cup of water. Yun Qin went forward to help her up, and slowly fed her water until he finished half of it.

Wen Le stepped forward to inspect her, then took out a pill from his bag for her to eat.

She looked at the people in front of her bed, her eyes revealing her terror. She raised her hand to cover her ears and screamed in fear as if she had seen a ghost, "No, no —"

Wen Le squinted his eyes slightly. Seeing that she was still in shock, he pressed her acupoints and said: "I saved you and came back. Don't scream or I'll give you acupuncture."

The woman's eyes showed that she was still in a state of panic, and a few tears flowed out from her eyes.

Yun Qin told him to get out of the way.

She squeezed past Wen Le and gently said to the woman: "Don't be afraid, we won't harm you. That dishonest person just now, he was the one who saved you from the brothel."

The woman blinked, and looked Yun Qin in the eye. After a while, she calmed down.

Seeing that she had calmed down, Yun Qin asked: "Can I ask you a question?"

The lady stared at her blankly. Yun Qin then asked, "What is your relationship with Yue Xin?"

Before she could even finish speaking, the girl's reaction was extremely fast, causing the oculi to open her eyes wide in fear.

Yun Qin comforted her repeatedly, "Don't be afraid, don't be afraid …"

It seemed that she definitely knew about Yue Xin. Otherwise, she wouldn't have reacted so dramatically when Yue Xin was mentioned.

"I'll help you release your acupuncture points, can you promise to remain calm?"
