Chapter 112 Investigate! Investigate thoroughly!
Everyone was speechless.
Xie Mo blinked: "Magistrate Su, you...you mean not Yan Shu and his gang??"
Su Jingge nodded, and then spoke, which brought everyone to a solemn silence.
"I know my brothers, although you may have been a little lazy at work, I know you are definitely not irresponsible people."
"Although you brothers come from all over the country, now that you are under my command, you will definitely be of one mind."
"Our county has gone from being extremely poor to being prosperous, and this is all thanks to the hard work of you brothers."
"So I believe what the Leopard Brothers said, you really did a thorough check!"
Everyone present had tears in their eyes and bowed their heads.
Not only did Magistrate Su not blame them, but he also trusted them so much.
They were acting the same way just now.
I truly feel guilty.
Xiao Yinhe was taken aback, then nodded admiringly: "Magistrate Su truly lives up to his reputation as a man of unwavering loyalty and integrity, genuinely caring for everyone!"
This move was undoubtedly wise; since she already knew that the fault did not lie with them, there was no need to pursue it further.
Instead, they said they believed in them, and even if they neglected their work again, they should think about Su Jingge's words.
That was a clever move!
Leopard knelt on the ground, his hands clasped together, and the man's eyes shone brightly: "From now on, I, Leopard, will never again slack off on work by playing around. I am willing to wholeheartedly support Magistrate Su!"
The man exuded an aura of righteousness, and his voice was deep and powerful.
The calluses on his hands and feet will surely prove his unwavering loyalty.
Not only him, but all his brothers behind him knelt down.
They shouted in unison, their minds tacitly understanding: "We are willing to wholeheartedly support Magistrate Su!!!"
As Su Jingge listened to the echoes of everyone's voices reverberating throughout the county, her eyes reddened slightly as she nodded, "All of you brothers are gentle and kind-hearted young men. With you all here, Yuxiang County will surely prosper."
The woman's eyes then turned cold: "Of course, I have a clear system of rewards and punishments, and I have a heart that truly cares for everyone. If I find out who has trampled on my good intentions and harmed me in this way, I will punish them severely!!!"
Just then, Su Jingge's gaze locked onto the alleyway at the very back.
A small dark figure quickly disappeared from her sight.
She summoned a flying sword.
"Go! Follow them."
Flying Sword quickly understood.
He then nodded: "Don't worry, sir!"
-
Then Su Jingge, Xie Mo, and others stood inside the materials warehouse.
Hey everyone, close the door and let's talk.
Xiao Yinhe asked, "Magistrate Su, what are your plans now? Please tell me."
Su Jingge's eyes flickered slightly, and she said, "Since it's not you brothers, then if there's a problem with the materials, we absolutely can't let them grow legs and run into the river on their own."
"That means an outsider has definitely come in."
Xie Mo frowned: "Outsiders? This materials warehouse is guarded, how could outsiders have gotten in?"
Su Jingge crossed her arms and paced around the room. She said, "It's possible someone brought someone in..."
She immediately gave the order: "The accident was discovered yesterday, which means it must have been premeditated."
"check!"
"Investigate thoroughly!!"
Upon hearing this, one of the brothers, Mao Gen, rolled his eyes and said, "We need to investigate. I want to see who lured that bad guy in here!"
Su Jingge smiled and said, "Brothers, please report to Xie Mo your itinerary for the past three days, including where you've been, word for word."
"Of course, none of you brothers will be able to get out!"
"Huh? Are they going to trap us here?" the brother named Mao Gen exclaimed in surprise.
Su Jingge's gaze quickly locked onto this person.
She stepped forward, looked them over, and said, "Brother Mao Gen, why are you so surprised?"
The man looked into her deep, calm eyes and felt inexplicably uneasy, but he still forced a smile and said, "No, no, Magistrate Su is right. We should cooperate."
-
Meanwhile, on the other side, at the Princess's residence.
The servants just returned from the materials warehouse near the South Gate.
The woman looked panicked and cried out, "Princess Yongzhu, Princess, something terrible has happened!"
An Wanyu sat in front of the dressing table, trying on the wedding dress she had just received, her face full of uncontainable joy.
To her surprise, the servant's words caused her to explode with anger!
"What's the rush? Can't you see the princess is changing her clothes?"
The servant immediately knelt down: "Princess, I just returned from the South Gate at your request, and Su Jingge has actually locked up all the craftsmen!"
An Wanyu's eyes were deep: "So what?"
The servant's face turned pale: "Princess, do you think that man might betray us?"
An Wanyu held the lip rouge, a sneer playing on her lips: "So what if I told you?"
"Who doesn't know that Su Jingge and I have never gotten along?"
"Everything must be based on evidence!"
An Wanyu smiled: "But why should I, this princess, make him speak?"
His eyes were fierce and gloomy, as still as an ancient well.
"Do you understand what to do?"
The servant's brow twitched, and he spoke tremblingly, "Yes, it's the princess."
-
After two days of investigation, Su Jingge knew all the testimonies of everyone in the Xiaonanmen materials warehouse.
However, there are a few points of doubt.
Several of the workers were not present.
Mao Gen is one of them.
She asked the man where he had been on the 27th, 28th, and 29th.
The 28th was two days before the roof collapsed.
Mao Gen said he went up the mountain.
The reason was that they went to the mountains to hunt wild animals.
Su Jingge smiled; this excuse really was an excuse.
She then asked, "Did you catch any wild game?"
Mao Gen said, "Oh dear, this is really strange. It's already late August. Logically speaking, when autumn arrives, animals should come out to forage for one last wave of food."
"Who knew that not only did we not see any wild game, we didn't even see a single hair of it."
"I was frustrated about this for a long time."
Su Jingge sat unhurriedly at the table, drinking tea, while Xie Mo took notes beside her.
"You used to be a bandit, right?"
The man nodded: "That's right, so we eat wild game in the mountains."
"That's why... I suddenly got a craving..."
Su Jingge nodded and smiled broadly.
The man laughed along, but for some reason felt a chill run down his spine.
"Heh, heh heh, does Magistrate Su have anything else to say? If not, I'll be leaving now?"
Su Jingge raised her hand and smiled again.
The warehouse door finally opened, letting in light, though it hadn't seen sunlight for two days.
It feels like it's been so long...
Su Jingge stood up: "Everyone has worked hard, go and rest."
Many people went out while yawning.
Just as the roller shutter reached Mao Gen, there was a click.
My vision went black again.
Mao Gen was immediately taken aback.
He could only feel people slowly approaching him from behind.
He turned around and looked at Su Jingge with a smile on her face and her arms crossed.
"Magistrate Su, what do you mean by this?"
Su Jingge's eyes darkened, and she glanced at the flying sword.
Flying Sword immediately understood what it meant.
In just a couple of quick movements, he pressed the person's hands down and instantly turned them around.
"Brother Maogen, I have been unreasonable."
