Sheng Mingyu frowned and looked over. "Alright! Stop trembling like this, as if I've bullied you. Lead the way, we're going to the County Magistrate's Mansion."
Gu Yunni sat in the carriage and thought for a long time before turning the topic to the Imperial Master. "What does the Imperial Master think about this matter? Why don't you say a word? This matter is also related to you. Tell me what you think."
"No, you should be able to discover the truth behind this by yourself. If you have any troubles that you can't handle, come to me and I can help."
The Imperial Master understood His Majesty's intention and pushed Gu Yunni to the front, wanting to throw all the benefits on her.
While Gu Yunni was wondering, Qin Yanchen couldn't sit still anymore.
"Yun Ni, don't forget what you promised me. You said you would help me solve my problem. Why are you trying to solve the problem for these people now? What about my problem?"
If he didn't know the rules, he would have lost control long ago.
"Don't worry, I've always kept your matter in mind, but the people are still the most important. This matter may be related to yours, and we can solve it together."
What Gu Yunni said could not be refused.
Qin Yanchen was about to curse, but when he saw Gu Yunni's eyes, he stepped aside. This was the first time he saw her so scary.
He didn't dare to refute and just did as the woman said.
"Yun Ni, don't be too stressed. We just got here. Just start from the beginning. You can investigate whenever you can. His Majesty won't blame you."
Sheng Mingyu was very considerate and offered comfort.
If anything really happened, he would take responsibility for Gu Yunni.
"I know, I'm just curious about how powerful these little devils are. They can actually make so many people panic and even scare the county magistrate."
Gu Yunni fell into deep thought. She had been dealing with little ghosts for so many years, how could she be scared by these things?
She was just curious about how serious this incident was.
The Imperial Master was also lost in thought, but he did not speak. Basically, everything he could think of, Gu Yunni could also think of.
After walking for a long time, they finally arrived at the county magistrate's mansion.
Sheng Mingyu stood in front of the door, and the dissatisfaction he had just felt surged up again.
It’s bad enough that he didn’t greet me at the city gate before, but now he doesn’t even greet me at the mansion gate. What excuse can he make?
Sheng Mingyu's expression was so obvious that the soldiers around him were shocked.
They also felt that the county magistrate was too unruly, and even if he was afraid, he should at least act in a proper manner.
"Your Highness, the county magistrate is waiting for you inside, in his bedroom. Please come over."
Sheng Mingyu had a sarcastic smile on his face and spoke bluntly, "Bedroom? You county magistrates are really interesting. This is the first time I've seen such a rule. Receive guests in the bedroom, so what's the living room for?"
He has been enduring this for a long time. As a member of the royal family, this is the first time that someone has treated him so badly. It is really unbearable.
Is it because he has been too good-tempered recently, making them unable to tell who he was in the past?
"This... the county magistrate is really too scared. I heard from the people outside that as long as you don't go out, you won't encounter those little ghosts. The county magistrate has been locking himself in his room every night these past few days and never goes out."
The soldier next to him gritted his teeth and clarified for his master.
He didn't want to say these good things on behalf of the county magistrate, mainly because he also worked under the county magistrate. If he made Sheng Mingyu angry, in the end it would not be the county magistrate alone who would bear the consequences, but all of them would have to bear the consequences.
"Oh! A county magistrate doesn't even have this much courage. What is he doing in this position? He was appointed as a county magistrate to help the people resolve their grievances, not to hide in his room all day and refuse to go out!"
Sheng Mingyu is not so easy to fool this time.
It was the same thing just now on the street. If Gu Yunni hadn't suddenly spoken up, he would have already punished these soldiers and the county magistrate.
Gu Yunni was very helpless. She knew why Sheng Mingyu was angry, but the most important thing now was about the people, so she had to interrupt.
"Don't be angry yet. Go ask the county magistrate what's going on. If he really committed an offense, it won't be too late to punish him then."
Sheng Mingyu's expression changed quickly, but when he heard Gu Yunni's words, his expression relaxed a lot.
"Yes, the people are the most important. Even if the county magistrate doesn't take me seriously, I won't care. You lead the way and see what the county magistrate is doing."
The soldiers were very surprised. His Royal Highness the Crown Prince was actually a henpecked husband. Why didn't this rumor spread?
Isn’t it said that the prince is unlucky in marriage?
The further you go inside, the brighter the county magistrate's mansion seems, especially one of the courtyards, which is filled with lanterns.
Gu Yunni smelled a pungent smell of candles.
Although this is an open-air environment, it is still a bit scary to see so many things around.
Qin Yanchen was very credulous and asked directly, "What's going on? The county magistrate wouldn't live in this environment, would he? If he's poisoned, I'm afraid there's no way to save him."
He always knew that the county magistrate was not a good person, but he didn't know that he was so cowardly, which was quite interesting.
The soldier looked back at Qin Yanchen, then at Sheng Mingyu, and only answered when he saw that he did not stop him.
"Your Excellency doesn't know that the County Magistrate is really scared and wants to make it look like it's daytime. The little ghost won't appear during the day, and probably won't dare to show up easily with so much light."
I guess this person is also related to Sheng Mingyu, otherwise he wouldn't come with them.
In fact, the soldiers also felt that this matter was a bit outrageous when they heard about it. Although they were all afraid of the little ghost, none of them was as guilty as the county magistrate.
He even suspected that the county magistrate had done something bad.
Sheng Mingyu was already full of anger and spoke in a sarcastic tone.
"If you haven't done anything wrong, you don't have to worry about ghosts knocking on your door. Those who have encountered the little ghosts have probably done something bad. Your county magistrate is so afraid. Is it because he is not serious in judging the case? Then you must investigate thoroughly and seek justice for the people."
Although he did not trust Qin Yanchen, he also knew that he must have his reasons for looking down on the county magistrate.
It is estimated that this county magistrate is really doing nothing in this county.
The soldier in front smiled awkwardly, not daring to answer, but also not daring not to answer. How could he explain this?
After all, he is his immediate superior, he can't complain, right?
Sheng Mingyu was not a fool. He did not make things difficult for the soldiers and continued to move forward with Gu Yunni.
Suddenly, he became curious about the county magistrate.
Sheng Mingyu didn't give up and continued to question, "I've seen that the county magistrate's office is doing quite well along the way. Is there so much to gain just by being a county magistrate?"
Every question made the soldiers break out in sweat.
What on earth was it that made the prince so dislike the county magistrate? Why was he so aggressive?
