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

Chapter 176 Falling into a trap

But he really didn't like the atmosphere in this room and felt extremely uncomfortable.

The next second, the evil ghost rushed to Jiang Yihan and began to absorb his yang energy. Xu Yingying instinctively wanted to stop it, but was stopped by Camellia.

"It's karma, this is his own retribution, let's just ignore it." Camellia said helplessly.

Xu Yingying's eyes flashed with hesitation when she heard this, "But what if she still doesn't know her limits and hurts Jiang Yihan's life?"

"Then there is nothing we can do. Every grudge has its own owner, and every debt has its own creditor. It is impossible to stop others from taking revenge on us!" Camellia shook her head.

After hearing this, Xu Yingying didn't know what to say.

At the same time, Jiang Yihan, who had been absorbing the other party's yang energy, suddenly let go for some reason.

Jiang Yihan's face turned blue, and there was a hint of darkness under his eyes. He looked weak and no longer as young as before. He seemed to have aged ten years in an instant.

"I feel a little unwell, so I'm leaving now."

Jiang Yihan suddenly spoke to Huang Shaohua and the others, and without giving Huang Shaohua a chance to refuse, he walked straight out the door, though his steps seemed a little unsteady.

Just like that, Huang Shaohua hurriedly left the county, leaving Xu Yingying and Li Siqi, who looked at each other in the room with a bewildered look on their faces.

"What should I do? I didn't get any key information, and the breakthrough I found with great difficulty is gone again." Xu Yingying said helplessly.

Li Siqi didn't know what to say, so he could only comfort her, "It's okay, I'll find a chance to check it out."

"Okay!" Xu Yingying replied helplessly.

Just like that, Li Siqi handed over Jiang Yihan's matter to his subordinates, asking them to continue investigating relevant clues.

Several days later, after Xu Ruohao's diligent investigation, he finally found Jiang Yihan's accomplice. But before Li Siqi and others could recruit this accomplice, the news of Jiang Yihan's sudden death in Shangjing spread.

Li Siqi was very surprised when he heard this.

How could he die suddenly without any warning?

Could it be...Xu Yingying did it?

Thinking of this, Li Siqi immediately rushed to find Xu Yingying to verify the situation.

In the study, Xu Yingying was reading a book attentively when Li Siqi hurried in.

Xu Yingying, who was reading, put down the book in her hand, looked at Li Siqi curiously and said, "What's wrong with you, Your Highness? Why are you in such a hurry?"

"Xu Yingying, do you know? Jiang Yihan is dead. Was it you who did it?" Li Siqi said to Xu Yingying.

When Xu Yingying heard this, her mouth opened in surprise, "Ah? What?"

Li Siqi saw that Xu Yingying's reaction didn't seem to be acting, so he quickly asked, "Didn't you do this?"

Xu Yingying quickly shook her head, "Of course it's not me. I've been in the county all my life. How could my hands be so long that they could reach the capital?"

"You're thinking too much. I don't have that ability." Xu Yingying said helplessly.

"Okay! It's okay as long as it's not you." Seeing this, Li Siqi didn't say anything more and turned and left.

As soon as Li Siqi left, Xu Yingying immediately summoned Camellia.

"Master, is there anything you want to talk to me about?" Camellia asked respectfully.

"Jiang Yihan is dead. I suspect it was a ghost who did it. Go call her over to me and I'll ask her." Xu Yingying instructed Camellia.

After a while, Camellia came back, but she was alone.

Xu Yingying was suddenly confused, "Where is the evil spirit?"

Camellia smiled bitterly, "Master, I searched the area for miles, but I didn't find any trace of the evil spirit. I don't know where she ran off to."

When Xu Yingying heard this, she immediately understood that it was most likely that the evil ghost had harmed Jiang Yihan and had not yet returned.

At this moment, a gust of cold wind suddenly blew in the room, and an evil ghost hurriedly appeared in front of Xu Yingying and the others.

Before Xu Yingying could speak, Li Hu hurriedly proved himself: "I didn't kill Jiang Yihan. I didn't do anything to Jiang Yihan."

Xu Yingying's expression became even more strange when she heard this. Isn't this just confessing herself?

She hadn't even asked whether Jiang Yihan's death had anything to do with her, but she was already in a hurry to distance herself from it.

Xu Yingying naturally didn't believe this. She didn't spend much time with the evil ghost, and the evil ghost didn't look very reliable, so Xu Yingying directly hypnotized the evil ghost.

Looking at the evil ghost's gradually dull eyes, Xu Yingying knew that her hypnosis was successful.

Xu Yingying didn't play tricks with her. She asked directly, "Did you kill Jiang Yihan?"

The ghost shook his head and answered without hesitation: "I didn't kill him."

Xu Yingying fell into deep thought when she heard this. She still had great confidence in her hypnosis skills, and the evil ghost did not lie to her.

So the question is, who killed Jiang Yihan? Was it his former enemies?

Then why didn't they kill him earlier or later, but had to wait until this point in time to kill Jiang Yihan?

This incident not only failed to resolve Xu Yingying's inner doubts, but instead gave rise to more questions for Xu Yingying.

Just when Xu Yingying was puzzled, the evil ghost spoke again, but this time her words shocked Xu Yingying.

"I saw the murderers who killed Jiang Yihan. They were a group of men in black. They attacked Jiang Yihan in the bamboo forest when he returned. However, they did not kill him immediately. Instead, they spared his life."

The evil ghost's words immediately made Xu Yingying feel that something was fishy.

Since they were all here to assassinate Jiang Yihan, why didn't they just do it? What was the purpose of these people who killed them?

Just when Xu Yingying was puzzled, the servant knocked on Xu Yingying's door hurriedly.

"Knock, knock, knock--" a series of violent and rapid knocks on the door sounded outside Xu Yingying's room.

"Master Xu, something bad has happened. Something bad has happened."

Xu Yingying had a bad feeling when she heard the voice. She pretended to be calm and said, "Come in and tell me, what happened?"

The subordinate came in hurriedly, then immediately knelt on the ground and answered: "Shangjing sent a lot of officers and soldiers to us, saying that... they said they were here to investigate Jiang Yihan's death, saying that Jiang Yihan's death was related to Mr. Huang, you and His Highness the Ninth Prince, and even His Highness the Crown Prince came in person."

As soon as these words were spoken, Xu Yingying instantly understood that they had fallen into a trap.

No, she has to discuss with Li Siqi how to deal with this matter.

Before she could take the initiative to find Li Siqi, Li Siqi immediately rushed over to find her.

"Have you heard? Li Siming is here." As soon as Li Siqi entered the door, he asked Xu Yingying if she knew about this.

Xu Yingying nodded and replied: "The servant just told me that this matter is obviously a trap, and it is aimed at the two of us."

Li Siqi nodded helplessly, "That's right, we were careless for a moment and fell into their trap."
