After she became a county magistrate, she took the ghost to investigate the case

Chapter 187 Rushing

Xu Yingying did what she said. She was full of motivation at this moment and immediately put aside the unpleasant things that happened between her and Li Siqi a few days ago.

Xu Yingying felt that this was not enough. She also tried to get along with Li Siming to see if she could dig out any useful clues. After all, in Xu Yingying's opinion, Li Siming was a bad person to the core. Every time they experienced some bad thing, it was most likely Li Siming's mastermind behind the scenes.

But unfortunately, after Xu Yingying cheated Li Siming several times, she found out that Li Siming knew nothing about it.

In fact, Li Siming really had no involvement in this matter. He came here just to find some trouble with Li Siqi and Xu Yingying and to make them unhappy.

Seeing that his investigation into Li Siming yielded no results, Li Siqi changed the direction of his investigation.

Li Siqi asked his men to re-investigate the matter to see if there was anything missing.

Unexpectedly, this investigation actually led him to find a very important clue. A man named Zhang Erdan had important clues about this matter.

Zhang Erdan is not an ordinary person either. He has had a long-term friendship with the madam of Cangchun Pavilion. In his early years, he helped the former county magistrate "deal with" things and caused many deaths.

Xu Yingying and Li Siqi avoided the spies sent by Li Siming and found Zhang Erdan.

I saw Zhang Erdan lying in a dilapidated hut. He was dirty all over and had many sores on his body, as if he had some skin disease.

Seeing this, Xu Yingying subconsciously pulled Li Siqi and stood a little further away from Zhang Erdan.

Xu Yingying could tell at a glance that the wounds on Zhang Erdan's body were not ordinary wounds, but the result of him doing too many evil things and being injured by the ghost's hostility.

Zhang Erdan saw what Xu Yingying did, but he didn't say anything. Instead, he asked Xu Yingying and the others casually, "Tell me, what are you here to inquire about? Or what do you want me to do? As long as the price is good, I can help you do it."

Upon hearing the voice, Xu Yingying immediately took out a purse from her pocket and placed it on the table in front of Zhang Erdan.

Seeing this, Zhang Erdan excitedly took out a few pieces of silver from his purse. He even bit them with his teeth. After making sure that they were real, he immediately gave Xu Yingying a flattering smile.

"So you are my distinguished guest! May I ask what I can do for you? As long as you ask, I will do it for you, even if it means risking my life."

Zhang Erdan gave Xu Yingying a flattering smile.

Xu Yingying said calmly: "That's not necessary. I came here today mainly to ask you something."

Zhang Erdan heard the voice and immediately said respectfully, "Please speak, sir. I will tell you everything I know."

"Do you know that many people have died in Zangchun Pavilion in our county? Who killed them?" Xu Yingying asked directly.

Zhang Erdan was slightly stunned when he heard this, and asked Li Siqi and Xu Yingying with a strange look on his face: "Why are you two asking about this?"

Xu Yingying did not explain, but urged: "Do you know or not? If you know, please tell me quickly. If you don't know, return the money to me. I am leaving."

After saying that, Xu Yingying pretended to take the silver and leave.

This frightened Zhang Erdan so much that he quickly hugged the silver in his hand tightly and said, "Wait a minute, I'll tell you, isn't it okay for me to tell you?"

"In fact, there is a reason why so many people died in Cangchun Pavilion. Many people in Cangchun Pavilion were used to entertain customers, and some were used to resell them."

"Among them, the seller that the madam of Cangchun Pavilion cooperates with the most is Guo Shaoqi. However, he is from Beijing and has great strength and connections, so ordinary people can't afford to offend him."

Zhang Erdan said with some fear.

"But fortunately, I have some friendship with him. If you want to go, I can introduce you, but..." Zhang Erdan looked as if he wanted to say something but hesitated.

Xu Yingying naturally understood what Zhang Erdan was going to do. She immediately took out another bag of silver from her pocket and threw it on the table.

"Is this enough?" Xu Yingying asked, rolling her eyes.

"Enough, enough, enough." Zhang Erdan said happily as he looked at the heavy silver in his hand.

"So when do you two gentlemen plan to go find Shaoqi?" Zhang Erdan couldn't help but ask.

"How about this! I'll go pack up our things and prepare the carriage, and we'll set off right away." Xu Yingying thought for a while and replied.

"Okay, then I will wait here for the two gentlemen to arrive." Zhang Erdan said respectfully.

The two of them left Zhang Erdan's residence like this.

After walking a few steps, Xu Yingying turned around and found Li Siqi looking a little unhappy.

"What's wrong?" Xu Yingying asked.

"Nothing. I only know this Guo Shaoqi. I have a bad relationship with him. I'm afraid it's not convenient for me to take part in the next investigation about him." Li Siqi explained helplessly.

Xu Yingying thought about it and thought it was not a big deal, so she said, "In that case, how about I go to the capital to investigate the next matter, and you stay here to look after these refugees and Li Siming?"

There was no better way than this at the moment, so Li Siqi was forced to agree.

"Then you must pay attention to safety when you go! If you encounter any danger, don't worry about anything, just go first, and your safety is the most important thing." Li Siqi couldn't help but remind her, his face full of seriousness.

When Xu Yingying heard this, she felt warm inside. It felt so good to be cared for by others.

She smiled brightly, "Okay, don't worry, I will be careful about everything." Xu Yingying patted Li Siqi on the shoulder.

After saying that, she went back, packed her luggage, and left with a few of her subordinates who were highly skilled in martial arts.

The fact that Xu Yingying was going to Beijing was also known by the people Li Siming sent to follow her.

Naturally, Li Siming was the first to learn that she was leaving for Beijing.

Inside the inn.

Li Siming supported his head with his hands and thought for a while. He really couldn't understand why Xu Yingying would go to Beijing. But since she had gone to Beijing, it seemed that she had her purpose.

Thinking of this, Li Siming quickly said to his confidant beside him: "Send a few strong martial artists to follow them and see what they want to do."

"Yes, Your Highness, I obey your command."

The confidant said respectfully, and then he left.

Xu Yingying has successfully met up with Zhang Erdan.

Zhang Erdan was slightly stunned when he saw that only Xu Yingying was there. "Master, where is the other master? Isn't he going?"

Zhang Erdan asked curiously.

Xu Yingying shook her head and explained, "It's just the two of us going. He has things to deal with, so he won't go with us for now."

Zhang Erdan nodded and said, "Okay! Sir, let's go without delay!"

"Okay." Xu Yingying got on the carriage after hearing the voice.

In this way, a group of people set off in a mighty manner.

As they walked, Xu Ruohao suddenly leaned over to the curtain of Xu Yingying's carriage and whispered, "Sir, it seems someone is following us."

Xu Yingying nodded, she actually felt it too.
