Lin Yuxin stood up, but because she had been squatting for too long, she felt dizzy and almost fell down. Fortunately, she was quick to hold on to the bookshelf in front of her.

But Lin Yuxin didn't realize that because of her stumble, she kicked the tip of the brush, and the tip of the brush bent directly inward.

"You are my friend, my heart!"

Xueying saw Jun almost fell and wanted to help him, but as soon as he took a step, his feet were empty and he fell to the ground.

After Lin Yuxin's eyes recovered, she did not see Xueying's figure, but saw a hole in front of the bookshelf.

Lin Yuxin blinked her eyes. She had been looking for it for a long time but couldn’t find it. Did it come out by itself?

After a while, Xueying climbed up, his clothes were disheveled and he looked like he had been beaten.

"Xueying? What are you?"

Lin Yuxin pursed her lips, trying not to laugh, and asked.

"Jun, I couldn't see the front, and I didn't notice it when it fell!"

Xueying reported the truth without feeling the slightest bit of embarrassment.

Lin Yuxin pouted and found it boring to talk to Bingkuai.

"Okay, now that we've found this secret passage, it would be a bit unreasonable if we don't look for it! Let's go!"

Lin Yuxin was about to leave when she was stopped by Xueying.

"Jun, let's wait for Wang Yu and the others to arrive before we go in together! If anything happens, there will be strength in numbers!"

Xueying said sincerely.

"Okay! Wait then!"

Lin Yuxin also knew that Xueying was doing this for her own good. She didn't know what would happen if she went there. If it was too dangerous, one more person would mean one more person to protect her.

It wasn't that she had to rely on Wang Yu and the others for protection. She had her own space, and if she was in danger she could hide there. But since they were worried, why not wait a little longer?

Wang Yu was gone for a long time this time, and Lin Yuxin and the others frowned. Did something happen to him?

When Lin Yuxin was about to ask Xueying to go take a look, she saw Wang Yu coming back with a few people, holding someone in his hand.

"Sir, this man was found in the cell by the subordinates. Before he fell unconscious, the subordinates asked him and he said he was Liu Shuijin, the county magistrate of Quyan County."

Wang Yu reported everything to Lin Yuxin one by one.

"Quyan County Magistrate? Why is he in a cell? And so badly injured?"

Lin Yuxin asked with a frown, then looked at the county magistrate and saw that he was covered in blood and unconscious. It was obvious that he had suffered serious injuries.

"Jun, when I found him, he was lying in the corner motionless. If I hadn't checked his breath and found that he was still breathing, I would have thought he was dead. I fed him a life-saving pill that Jun gave me a while ago, but I'm afraid he must have died."

Wang Yu also agreed that the injury was too severe.

"Put him on the bed, let me see!"

Lin Yuxin frowned and asked Wang Yu to let the man go.

Wang Yu did as he was told, and released the man with ease.

Lin Yuxin squatted down, took his pulse, and then looked at the injuries on his body.

"He was badly injured, his veins were damaged, and he was also poisoned by the snake!"

After reading it, Lin Yuxin shook her head. The county magistrate was not in good condition. If Wang Yu hadn't given him a heart-protecting pill in advance, he would have died.

"Jun, is there any way to treat him? We have only found this important person so far. If he dies, wouldn't that mean the clues will be gone?"

Wang Yu said a little anxiously.

"It can be cured, but for now, we can only save his life. However, the rest of the county cannot be cured for the time being. He needs surgery and detoxification. These are not simple tasks and cannot be completed in this environment."

Lin Yuxin rolled her eyes and expressed her concerns.

"I'll save his life first. Treatment can wait until we find a safe place."

As Lin Yuxin spoke, she took out a silver needle and stabbed it into Liu Shuijin's body.

After more than ten acupuncture injections, Liu Shuijin finally woke up. Lin Yuxin took the silver needles and fed him a medicine to help his injuries heal and temporarily stabilize the parasite poison in his body.

Liu Shuijin looked at the beautiful girl busying around in front of him, and he thought he was dead.

"Thank you, fairy. I am already dead, but I am lucky to still be able to see the fairy!"

Liu Shuijin said weakly.

"How dare you! This is our Pingning County, how can you talk nonsense?"

Wang Yu got angry when he heard Liu Shuijin's nonsense. How could he tease the princess? If the prince knew about it, he would be jealous, so he quickly scolded him.

But it was this scolding that brought Liu Shuijin back to reality. He was not dead? He was still alive, but he was living a life worse than death! He would still become that half-human, half-ghost.

When Liu Shuijin thought of this, he became a little agitated and his chest began to have difficulty breathing.

Seeing this, Lin Yuxin pressed his chest directly. Liu Shuijin felt his chest relax a lot, and then he heard a female voice.

"You can't get too excited right now. Your injuries haven't healed yet, and the snake poison hasn't been cured yet. You should just rest well."

Lin Yuxin said in a cold voice that she hated disobedient patients the most.

Liu Shuijin looked at Lin Yuxin, then reacted and said reasonably:

"Thank you for saving me, young lady! I will never forget you, but I don't know what happened to my body. I'm afraid I won't have the chance to repay you."

"You're so brave! This is our county. Don't take advantage of it to offend the superiors."

Wang Yu shouted loudly.

Wang Yu spoke repeatedly, causing Lin Yuxin to look at him. Something was wrong with this! Was he afraid that Liu Shuijin didn't hear him, so he spoke so loudly without saying anything and repeatedly reminded him?

Did he take the wrong medicine? Is his prince not in a hurry to find him?

"Please forgive me, the magistrate did not recognize me and even spoke nonsense in front of me. Please forgive me, magistrate."

Liu Shuijin really heard it clearly this time. His face changed and he quickly apologized. If he could stand up, he would have knelt down.

"Alright, ignorance is not a crime. Wang Yu, help him up and put him on the recliner to rest. I have something to ask him."

Lin Yuxin said nonchalantly, and then instructed Wang Yu to do the job.

"yes!"

Wang Yu helplessly helped Liu Shuijin up and placed him on the only recliner in the study.

Lin Yuxin also sat on the chair behind the desk. After Liu Shuijin lay down, Lin Yuxin asked:

"Tell me, what's going on with you? And what's going on in Quyan County?"

When Liu Shuijin heard what Lin Yuxin asked, his expression changed, and he slowly recalled what happened before.

"Due to the drought, the people began to lack water and food. Just when I was worried, Zhang Qiang came with a man, holding the token of King Rui, saying that the food distributed by the king had arrived."

"When I heard that, I thought Quyan County was saved, so I didn't think much about it. But when I saw the food, I felt something was wrong. Even if the government sent food, it was rice or coarse grains, not cooked food."

"After such a long journey and in such hot weather, the steamed buns were stale in just two days, while their cooked food was fresh. I raised my doubts at the time, but was controlled by Zhang Qiang and kept in the cell."

"At the beginning, I was the only one in the cell, so they gave me two steamed buns every day. I took a bite and the taste was not right, so I stopped eating. Later, there were more and more people in the cell, and everyone's situation was different."
