Even when the yamen runners moved the beds and wardrobes, they didn't see any place for Tibetans.
Jiang Hu's pounding heart suddenly calmed down.
Sure enough, Shen always has his own way.
If I had known this earlier, I wouldn't have worried about it.
"Sir, this room is almost turned upside down, how could there be a dead person?" Jiang Hu laughed and watched Magistrate Hu's expression turn green little by little.
"Reporting to the lord, it was not found." The bailiff came over and replied.
Magistrate Hu's face and his mustache were trembling, "This is unacceptable..."
His people clearly saw it, right?
Could it be that Zhan Nanxing really knows some magic?
"It's no big deal," Jiang Hu laughed. "You can see that this room is so small. There's only so much space to hide. There's no one there."
County Magistrate Hu's face trembled for a while, but he finally restrained himself, gritted his teeth, and glared at Zhan Nanxing.
"Walk."
After saying this, he took the lead and left, and the yamen runners followed him and left one after another.
Seeing that the matter had come to a temporary end, the old lady also said that she was not feeling well, and took the women of the Zhan family away with her.
Before leaving, he did not forget to give Shen Zhaozhao a look.
Good job.
I knew you could do it!
Shen Zhaozhao smiled shyly.
Jiang Hu was not as knowledgeable as the old lady. He was very curious. When he saw Magistrate Hu and the yamen runners leaving the post station, he came to Shen Zhaozhao eagerly:
“Miss Shen, where did you hide the person?”
Shen Zhaozhao smiled slightly, "It's far away, but it's right in front of us."
"Where?" Jiang Hu was still looking around.
Unfortunately, after looking everywhere, I couldn’t find it.
Seeing that Jiang Hu was still determined to get to the bottom of the matter, Zhan Nanxing glanced at the two servants beside him.
"Hey, sir, it's getting late. Go to bed early. We have to set off early tomorrow morning." Huang Ye hurried over and held up one of Jiang Hu's arms.
"Yes, sir, our Third Madam has already taken care of everything. We don't dare to trouble you anymore!" Zhan Ping held up Jiang Hu's other arm.
Before Jiang Hu could ask what was going on, two servants held one arm each and respectfully escorted him to the door.
BANG——
The door is closed.
Only Shen Zhaozhao and Zhan Nanxing were left in the room, facing each other.
"Zhao Zhao actually has such ability." Zhan Nanxing admired sincerely.
It's no exaggeration to say that it's a master's skill to sneak a person away from right under their noses.
He knew that Shen Zhaozhao had a secret, and this secret was the source of her abilities.
But she didn't say anything, so he, as her husband, didn't ask any further questions.
He wanted to give her at least some respect.
Shen Zhaozhao waved his hand, "It's just a low-level trick. To put it bluntly, it's just a trick to deceive people."
"When I was a kid, I liked watching some acrobatics. Someone in a troupe taught me."
Zhan Nanxing nodded seriously.
The skills these jugglers have are just for making a living. They have never had a formal apprenticeship and have never seen any external stories.
Not to mention teaching it to a young girl.
But since she said so, he chose to believe it.
Zhan Nanxing looked at Shen Zhaozhao in front of him and felt that the room where only the two of them were alone was a little hot.
Shen Zhaozhao bent down and picked up the sheets on the ground: "The county magistrate came too quickly."
Zhan Nanxing was slightly stunned.
She was actually thinking about serious matters.
And he...
Zhan Nanxing felt his face getting hot, but he pretended to be serious and responded, "Yes, if the people on the street go to report to the authorities, the county government has its own procedures, and they won't send anyone so quickly."
"It would be better if the county magistrate came in person."
“This is very abnormal.”
As Zhan Nanxing analyzed the situation, the heat on his face subsided and his expression gradually became cold.
"And he came right at you," Shen Zhaozhao recalled the scene when the county magistrate just entered the house, "If it was a commoner who reported to the authorities, he couldn't just come up and say that Zhan Nanxing shot someone to death."
How would ordinary people know that his name is Zhan Nanxing?
"This county magistrate is most likely in cahoots with the man who brought the boy to kill," Shen Zhaozhao said, "He is the prince's man."
"What is Zhao Zhao going to do?"
Although Zhan Nanxing had some plans in mind, he was still more willing to listen to Shen Zhaozhao's ideas.
She always surprises him.
"I want to see how the man died first." Shen Zhaozhao said.
When they asked the key questions, he died suddenly for no reason.
Zhan Nanxing also thought of this, his face changed, "Zhao Zhao, bring that man here, I have a guess."
Shen Zhaozhao did not delay and asked Zhan Nanxing to turn around and pull the man out of the space.
After all this tinkering, Shen Zhaozhao also discovered something was wrong.
The man died with his eyes wide open. It would have been fine if he had died with his eyes open, but why was his mouth also wide open?
Shen Zhaozhao frowned and moved closer, wanting to get a closer look.
"careful."
Zhan Nanxing pulled her away.
Caught off guard, Shen Zhaozhao's back hit his chest, and Zhan Nanxing's leg injury made him unable to stand steadily and he almost fell.
"Are you okay?" Shen Zhaozhao quickly turned around and helped him up.
"It's okay." Zhan Nanxing replied softly.
He was a little annoyed that he didn't fall down.
In this way, he can just stretch out his arms and hug her...
"Did you find anything?" Shen Zhaozhao asked seriously, with a strong sense of official business.
Zhan Nanxing lowered his eyes, feeling a little ashamed.
What is he thinking about now?
If you offend her, you must be responsible for her.
But he is just a cripple, and she is so good. With his current condition and the Zhan family's current condition, they are in danger of losing their jobs at any time, and he is not worthy of her at all.
"Hmm?" Shen Zhaozhao saw Zhan Nanxing lowering his eyes and keeping silent, so he bent down and looked into his eyes.
Zhan Nanxing quickly put away his thoughts and didn't want her to see his embarrassment. "My father once met a Gu Master in southern Xinjiang. They controlled people by controlling insects."
"You mean, poisonous insect?" Shen Zhaozhao looked at the corpse on the ground in surprise.
What happened next made her back break out in goosebumps.
Two tentacles thinner than hair stretched out from the man's wide-open mouth and swayed gently.
It seems like it is testing the danger in the outside world.
"Hiss..." Shen Zhaozhao took a breath and hid behind Zhan Nanxing. He poked his head out and stuttered, "Big...big mantis?"
She is a person who is not afraid of anything except mantises!
Shen Zhaozhao looked at the two whiskers and imagined the scene where she had just gotten closer and a giant mantis flapped its wings and flew straight in her face.
Zhan Nanxing was a little surprised.
Shen Zhaozhao, is actually afraid of bugs?
"Don't be afraid, Zhaozhao. As long as the Gu Master doesn't cast a spell directly, the bugs won't bite anyone casually."
Zhan Nanxing thought that Shen Zhaozhao hiding behind him like this was also very interesting and cute.
"Zhao Zhao, just watch how I catch this bug." Zhan Nanxing was extremely gentle, with a smile in his eyes.
Shen Zhaozhao took care of him all the way.
Finally, the time came for him to take care of her.
Zhan Nanxing picked up a teapot on the fairy table, emptied the water inside, and prepared to put the bug into the teapot as soon as it came.
As he was talking, the insect over there showed its head.
Under the two slender tentacles, there is a flesh-colored worm body with transparent soft wings on the back of the body.
Shen Zhaozhao tutted and loosened his grip on the corner of Zhan Nanxing's clothes.
It's not a giant mantis.
Zhan Nanxing was fully focused, waiting for the right moment to catch the insects with the teapot.
The worm swayed its tentacles, spread its thin wings, and crawled out of the man's mouth with its entire body, ready to fly away.
"Zhao Zhao, watch me catch ..."
