What was originally just a small celebration turned out to be a case of drinking too much, not from the constables or Ma Rencai, but from Li Wenyi, who usually seemed to dislike alcohol!

Looking at Li Wenyi, who was almost completely drunk and unconscious, Ye Shuang was thankful for the first time that she wasn't here as Li Shuang, otherwise she would have really despised this brother.

Ma Rencai quickly ordered two constables to help his master up, and then turned to apologize to Ye Shuang: "My master has been overwhelmed with Ren's case lately, so he drank a little too much. It was really not intentional."

Ye Shuang raised an eyebrow: "Hasn't this case already been transferred to the capital? What's still troubling you, sir?"

Thinking that this was not something that couldn't be said, the group walked out while Ma Rencai explained, "According to the rules, after the case is transferred, we must preserve all the witnesses and physical evidence related to the case, including the body. However, no one from the capital has come yet, and apart from the body, there are no useful clues. The body is difficult to preserve after being soaked in water, which is really a dilemma for you, sir."

"Can't we send another official document to urge them to hurry up?" Ye Shuang wasn't surprised. This dynasty was about to collapse, so how many people would care about such a small case?

Ma Rencai shook his head: "This matter is not easy to rush. The official document for transferring the case last time has disappeared without a trace. We don't know what stage this matter has reached, so we can only wait."

Ye Shuang nodded: "I see. Okay, I understand. I happen to have a few friends in the capital. I'll ask them to help me ask. It's not a big deal."

Ma Rencai was startled, even thinking he had misheard: "Miss Ye, did you just say you were going to use your connections in the capital to help find out how far this case has progressed?"

Ye Shuang nodded naturally: "Yes, after all, it concerns my house. The sooner it ends, the sooner everyone can breathe a sigh of relief. However, I can probably only find out the information, so I'm afraid it won't be of much use."

"Not at all, getting the information is enough." Ma Rencai couldn't help but glance at her. This Miss Ye's identity was truly extraordinary; she could speak so easily about such an internal matter of the court—finding out where an official document was going!

After Ye Shuang saw everyone off with a smile, she sent a message to Mo Wu. She thought it was something big. She had already figured out how to solve the case, but they were still struggling with how to start the investigation.

Mo Wu replied quickly, with only three words: One day later.

Ye Shuang erased the message, and with a flick of her sleeve, the dirty pavilions and messy paths in the courtyard instantly transformed back into the fairyland-like courtyard.

Early the next morning, three fast horses rushed in from outside the county. On each horse sat a man dressed in a black python robe. The three men went straight to the county government office and jumped off their horses before the horses had even come to a complete stop. They strode into the county government office.

"Gentlemen, what brings you here?" Li Wenyi rubbed his still-aching forehead. His head felt like it was being churned by a club, making him dizzy and lightheaded. Even so, upon recognizing the attire of the three men before him, he quickly bowed and inquired.

One of them stepped forward and said, "Is this the place where the official document says the former magistrate died in the county? We are here for this case."

Ma Rencai paused, thinking, "This must be a coincidence, right?"
