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

Chapter 177 The prince is here

"Your Highness, not long after Jiang Yihan's death, he brought his men to Jun County. I think everyone should be aware of what he is thinking." Xu Yingying and Li Siqi analyzed calmly.

"Yes, Jiang Yihan's death was strange. Li Siming came here now, I think he wants to put the blame on us. His death should have caused quite a stir in Shangjing."

"My father may be paying close attention to this matter now. If Li Siming really succeeds, I'm afraid both of us will be doomed." Li Siqi thought more.

Xu Yingying agreed with Li Siqi's analysis very much, but at the moment, analysis alone was not enough. What they had to think about was how to escape Li Siming's calculations.

"So what should we do now?" Xu Yingying asked.

"Don't be anxious. Just wait and see what Li Siming wants to do. I'll ask Huang Shaohua to send someone to keep an eye on him." Li Siqi comforted Xu Yingying.

Xu Yingying sighed slightly but didn't say anything. Given the current situation, this was the only way.

But not long after, Li Siming arrived at the county magistrate's mansion. When Huang Shaohua came to report the news, his face was full of helplessness.

"Your Highness, the Crown Prince is here. I didn't stop him. They are waiting outside now. Would you like to go and meet him?" Although Huang Shaohua was asking for Li Siqi's opinion, his eyes were full of pleading.

Li Siqi also understood that he had to meet this person. Otherwise, Li Siming might not do anything to him, but he would definitely take action against Huang Shaohua. He didn't want to implicate him.

"Well, then I'll go meet him. You go talk to him first, and I'll go later." Li Siqi waved to Huang Shaohua.

After Huang Shaohua left, Xu Yingying looked at Li Siqi worriedly, "Are you sure you want to go? You know that Li Siming treats you..."

"Don't worry, just stay here now and don't show up. I will go to meet him. He won't do anything to me now. If you go, it will divert his attention. If he attacks you, that would be bad." Li Siqi comforted the anxious Xu Yingying.

Seeing this, Xu Yingying nodded, "Okay, then you should be more careful."

In the reception room, Li Siming had been waiting for a long time. When he saw Li Siqi coming in, a playful smile appeared on his face. Huang Shaohua, who was sitting next to Li Siming, looked at Li Siqi as if he had seen a savior.

"Ninth brother, have you been okay during your time here?" Li Siming did not ask about Jiang Yihan, but instead started to ask about Li Siqi.

Li Siqi shrugged and sat casually not far from Li Siming. "Thank you for your concern, my brother. I have been living pretty well these days."

"Does your Royal Brother know Jiang Yihan, Lord Jiang, who came to Jun County a few days ago?" Li Siming looked at Li Siqi with a forced smile.

"Oh? How did your royal brother know that Lord Jiang had been here?" Li Siqi looked at Li Siming with interest.

"I just heard about it by chance. Lord Jiang had an accident after returning to the capital from Jun County and passed away. This time, I came here because my father allowed me to come to Jun County to investigate the cause of Lord Jiang's death."

"Lord Jiang died? When did it happen, my brother? I really didn't know anything about this. I clearly saw Lord Jiang in Jun County, and Lord Jiang looked fine. How could he die for no reason after returning to the capital?"

Li Siqi's eyes widened, his tone full of disbelief, and he looked very innocent, as if he had nothing to do with Jiang Yihan's affairs.

"Ninth brother, do you really know nothing?" There was a hint of wrinkle on Li Siming's face. He didn't expect Li Siqi to be so evasive. He had never seen this before.

Li Siqi looked at Li Siming innocently, "Brother, I really don't know why I would lie to you, but if you need me to do anything, I will definitely do it."

"My brother, you must have been exhausted from the long journey from Shangjing to Jun County. Why don't you take a good rest first? I have something else to do, so I won't accompany you. County Magistrate Huang, remember to arrange food and lodging for my brother, otherwise I will not forgive you."

After saying that, Li Siqi turned and left, leaving Li Siming and Huang Shaohua looking at each other in bewilderment.

Huang Shaohua almost cried when he saw Li Siming like this. If conditions allowed, he really wanted to run to Li Siqi and cry to him, letting him see how big a problem he had given him.

But facing Li Siming's gloomy face, he still smiled awkwardly, not daring to move. After a long time, he spoke weakly, "Well, Your Highness, I will take you to where you will stay."

"Don't bother County Magistrate Huang. I have my own arrangements. Also, tell my royal brother that I will stay in Jun County for the next few days. As for him... hum." After saying that, Li Siming turned around and left without giving Huang Shaohua a chance to speak.

After watching Li Siming leave, Huang Shaohua collapsed on the stool as if exhausted. It took a long time for him to recover.

Thinking of what Li Siming said before he left, he went to find Li Siqi.

At this time, Li Siqi was talking to Xu Yingying. When he saw Huang Shaohua coming in, he raised his eyebrows and asked, "Why, Li Siming left?"

Huang Shaohua nodded weakly, "By the way, Your Highness, the Crown Prince said... he will stay in Jun County during this period of time, do you want to..."

What Huang Shaohua wanted to say was that Li Siqi should leave here and find a place to hide for a while, and then come back after Li Siming left.

Huang Shaohua knew that there were some grudges between the brothers, and he did this for Li Siqi's sake. However, Li Siqi shook his head and said, "No need. I know he won't just leave like this. If I hide now, it would be in his favor. He would accuse me of fleeing for fear of crime, and I would be completely nailed down. I want to see what he wants to do."

Seeing that Li Siqi was confident, Huang Shaohua felt relieved and simply stopped saying anything. Realizing that Li Siqi and Xu Yingying still had some things to say, he found an excuse to leave.

"This Li Siming is really a haunting ghost. He doesn't want to stay in Shangjing properly, but has to come here to cause trouble."

Xu Yingying was extremely depressed now. With Jiang Yihan's death, the clues in their hands were almost gone. Xu Yingying was already upset because of this, and when she saw Li Siming interfering, she wanted to attack Li Siming directly and kill him.

"Master Xu, calm down. Jiang Yihan's death proves that our thinking is correct. I think it must have affected the interests of some people, so Jiang Yihan died. There is still hope. Be patient."

Li Siqi could see that Xu Yingying was in a bad mood, so he spoke to comfort her.
