C1

In Wu City Prefecture's yamen.

"Young master, that suspicious looking man has once again appeared by the side of the house." A scholarly looking man dressed in a blue robe stood in front of the desk and respectfully reported.

His voice had just fallen when the young master, who was facing away from him through the window behind the desk, put away the folding fan in his hand and turned to look directly at him. "Order, do not make a move. Do not alert the enemy."

"Yes."

The entire population of Wu City seemed to be in a state of unease because of the horrific murder that had taken place in the county. On the east side street, Zhu Xiucai's mother had been brutally murdered two days ago when the scoundrel had snuck into the house. More importantly, the scoundrel had not taken a single cent, but had only taken his mother's life.

The magistrate searched the entire Wu City, but didn't find any clues. All the suspects had an alibi.

"Have you heard? The Zhu Clan is dead, and their family is covered in blood!" Sliced into a thousand pieces by someone! "Bang …" A woman said with a rather large throat in front of the wonton stall as she sat in a circle around them.

At the corner of the wonton stall, a burly man smiled at a petite man beside him and said, "Look at this group of aunts, they seem to be talking about it as if they really saw it themselves."

The petite man smirked, "Although it's a bit exaggerated, she's right. She did die from excessive bleeding from a carotid artery cut."

"You ran to the case again … "Where is it?" Wang Luo opened his eyes wide and stared at the pale Su Mu as he spoke.

Three months ago, in order to evade the soldiers that were chasing him, Wang Mu had taken Su Mu and fled the entire night. Only after running many rounds did he finally arrive at Wu City, which was far from the capital, and settle down temporarily. However, no one could have imagined that on the night that the two of them stayed here, there would be a bloody murder case.

Su Mu lowered his eyes. His slender fingers were fiddling with the porcelain spoon in his bowl as he casually said, "It's fine. No one noticed."

"It would be too late if you wait for people to notice. Your body is getting weaker and weaker, and you can't take the running anymore!" Wang Yu sighed heavily, but he could not bear to admonish him.

Su Mu knew that Wang Lin was worried about her body, but her father had taught her that no matter where she was, she would have to "mourn for the suffering of her people".

"I will obediently take some medicine once we return to the inn. Don't worry about it anymore." Su Mu raised his head and smiled sweetly at Wang Yu. The man's grey clothes couldn't cover up the elegance on his face.

The two of them grew up together, and Wang Qing couldn't help but feel pity for her when he saw her forced smile. The young miss, who was originally so pampered, actually became the victim of a battle between the government's factions, causing her to fall into the countryside.

"My lord, this official has been wronged!" Inside the court of Wu Cheng Ya, the commander of the court kneeled down under the table and cried out to the green-robed man who was holding onto a wooden stick.

This azure-robed man was the son of the Minister of Rites, Bao Fusheng, and sitting on the fan to his right was the crown prince, Lin Yi, who had been expelled from the capital by the Great Yan Emperor.

Hearing that he was being preposterous and disrespectful at the Emperor's birthday banquet, the Emperor became furious and sent him to this remote city to reflect on his actions.

Bao Liusheng slapped the Shocking Wood on the table, "You are innocent? "As a father and mother official, you have been unable to find the real culprit for more than three months. You have made the people in the city panic and you still dare to say that you are innocent?"

The county magistrate was so drunk that he did not dare make a sound, and his entire body was trembling. He did not know what kind of bad luck he had brought upon himself by bringing upon these two great buddhas. First, he did not reveal his identity and entered the main county magistrate with the command medallion in his hand. Then, he deployed all of the guards and soldiers in the entire Wu City to encircle the city gate and the Zhu Residence. If it wasn't for the news of the Crown Prince and his companion travelling like this, the County Magistrate would have thought that he'd been captured by the Southern Barbaric Nether Domain.

"My lord, this official is indeed unable to solve this case, but this official is trying his best to investigate! I hope sire can understand. "

Lin Yi, who had changed into an ordinary young master's outfit and found it hard to hide his feelings, slapped his palm with his folding fan as he said in a dignified voice, "Do your best to investigate and use the thieves to escape to finish the case?" Her tone didn't carry any emotion, it was so cold that it could cause one to tremble.

Seeing Lin Yi say this, Bao Fusheng, who was standing in front of the court, threw a notice on the bulletin board outside the court the day they entered the city, "Did you see it clearly? Isn't this the notice you sent out? You should be sentenced to death for negligence. "

The county magistrate, who had been kneeling down, wished he could slap the Grand Master, who had been moving quickly, to death. He clearly wanted Grand Master to stay until after this month's incident, to tell the people that the culprit who killed Mother Zhu had craftily escaped from Wu City. In the end, he had actually posted the notice early on and was even seen by these two Rakshasi's underlings. It seemed like his little life was about to be taken away.

Seeing that the intimidation effect had reached its peak, Bao Fu, who was on the table, looked at Lin Yi and knew that the time to give him a date had come. "Now there's a chance to atone for your deeds. I don't know if you want it or not."

"Yes, yes!" The magistrate hurriedly kowtowed a few more times to show his loyalty.

Lin Yi once again said in a cold voice, "The Great Emperor and I have ordered us to travel here. We have authorized you to help us investigate this case. During this period of time, you are not allowed to reveal any of our identities. I will dispatch everyone within Wu City."

As for the magistrate, there was no doubt that this was a meat pie falling from the sky. He hastily replied that he would obey all his orders.

Lin Yi always hated such useless officials. The reason he kept his life was because he was afraid that a single action would alarm the enemy. As soon as he finished interrogating, he put his hands behind his back and walked towards the backyard of the county magistrate court, ignoring everything else.

Seeing this, Bao Fu Cheng ordered the county magistrate to back off as he quickly followed Lin Yi's footsteps.

"Why does Your Highness suddenly feel unhappy?" Bao Fu came to the palace as a child, accompanying Lin Yi as his reading partner. He was more sensitive to Lin Yi's emotional changes than most people.

Lin Yi looked around at the decorations in the County Magistrate's Court's backyard. The Golden Carp in the Lotus Pond was moving about recklessly. The small City Lord Order had such a luxurious garden, yet it could not even compare to some of the third rank officials in the capital.

"I'm thinking, if even the officials in this remote area behave in such a way, then how many officials would be greedy for manpower in this area?" Lin Yi, as the heir to the crown prince, could not help but feel worried.

"Your Highness, there's no need to worry too much. Most of the officials in the four seas are good, and with you assisting His Majesty to help the world, we should be able to clear up the chaos."

One can never achieve great success without accumulating a small amount of achievements.

Lin Yi knew that he still had a long way to go, so he gathered his thoughts and turned his attention to the nearest case, "How's the surveillance for that suspicious looking person?"

"We found out that he had an accomplice. The two of them were staying in a small inn in the city. When one of our men went to investigate, he found out that they were staying in the same place on the night of the crime." Bao Fusheng reported.

With a wave of the folding fan in his hand, the white fan was revealed. Lin Yi coldly said, "Continue investigating."

Wu Cheng City was originally a beautiful suburb, but now a storm was brewing.
