Gu Yunni didn't stop them and just watched the show from the side.
The decoration of the mansion is indeed luxurious, even better than the mansions of many Beijing officials.
She had seen corrupt officials before, but she had never seen one as greedy as this one.
Although Anyuan County is close to Kyoto, it is still not as good as Kyoto.
It goes without saying that the county magistrate was corrupt in repairing the mansion into this state.
"My Lords, the county magistrate's courtyard is just ahead. I'll go in and make the announcement. Please wait here."
Along the way, the soldiers chatted with Sheng Mingyu and the others, but refused to fall into the trap.
He can tell who is in charge of him.
Sheng Mingyu was about to lose his temper, but he held it back.
We've come this far, so there's no point in waiting a little longer.
But they waited outside for a long time and still did not see the county magistrate.
This time he really couldn't help it, so he led Gu Yunni and a few others in and kicked open the door of the county magistrate's house.
Before Sheng Mingyu could even see the situation inside the room, he was already furious. "Do you know who I am? You made us wait outside for so long! Even His Majesty has never treated me like this!"
Gu Yunni could see clearly that the county magistrate was no longer a normal person. His eyes were red and he was going crazy in the room.
He went crazy for a while and then died with his eyes wide open.
Gu Yunni looked at the soldier with disappointment.
"What the hell is going on? Didn't they say your county magistrate was resting in the house? Why did he become like this? Why didn't you inform us just now so I could come in and take a look?"
He is more capable of causing trouble than accomplishing anything.
"Princess, please forgive us. We just don't want the county magistrate to be so disrespectful. We don't know how he became like this. It has nothing to do with us."
"That's right! Princess Consort is very perceptive. This really has nothing to do with us. Please don't misunderstand me."
These soldiers were having a headache. They didn't expect Sheng Mingyu to just barge in. They knelt on the ground and kowtowed.
The Imperial Master's expression also turned cold. He had thought that it was no big deal, but he had scared himself!
"Don't just stand there, let's go and take a look. There's no ghost in this fog, but why is he so crazy? Could he be really scared silly?"
Gu Yunni nodded and rushed forward with the national teacher.
Sheng Mingyu finally came to his senses and walked over swiftly, "Yun Ni, what's going on? He seems to have contracted the rumored rabies. This prince has never encountered this before."
Gu Yunni frowned and did not agree with Sheng Mingyu's statement.
"He was probably scared. Our whereabouts must have been exposed, and someone knew we came from Kyoto and came to cause trouble for him."
She had been dealing with the mystical arts for such a long time that she knew that only when a person was frightened would they be frightened into this state.
Sheng Mingyu was somewhat reluctant to believe it. This was an official of the imperial court, yet he was frightened like this by two little ghosts?
This is not only a disgrace to the court, but also a disgrace to Your Majesty.
"Scared? How is that possible? I've been with you for so long and have seen countless little ghosts, but I've never been scared like this. He's too timid. Even ordinary people should be better than him."
Before Gu Yunni could speak, the Imperial Master chuckled.
"Oh, you've been living a life of luxury for so many years, you can't even judge a serious case, you might as well have never even seen a dead person, how could you not be scared like this? Relax, you're just scared."
He had long been fed up with these officials in the court. None of them had any real ability and only knew how to bully the people.
"this……"
Sheng Mingyu's face turned extremely ugly. While he was still thinking of other reasons, Qin Yanchen interrupted him.
"I know His Royal Highness may not be able to accept this, but this is indeed the truth. This crooked official has been in Anyuan County for so many years and has never solved a single case. He can't even get justice for the people. He deserves to be scared to death."
Qin Yanchen's words were so convincing that the soldiers next to him all looked up.
They were wondering why the Crown Prince disliked the County Magistrate so much, and it turned out that there was someone following him.
"This matter has nothing to do with you. We are here to judge a case. As an ordinary citizen, you cannot speak. Just sit quietly aside."
Gu Yunni rescued Qin Yanchen at the right time. They all had status and it didn't matter who they offended, but the county magistrate had a family behind him.
Qin Yanchen, an ordinary citizen, really couldn't fight against these people.
Qin Yanchen curled his lips, feeling slightly touched. He was very obedient and sat on the chair next to him to drink tea.
"Pfft! What does your tea taste like? Why is it so bitter? Even though my family is broke and we can't afford good tea, it's not this bad!"
Sheng Mingyu and the others were discussing nearby when Qin Yanchen made another noise.
Sheng Mingyu was extremely annoyed. She already hated the fact that Gu Yunni and Qin Yanchen were getting closer and closer, and they didn't know how to avoid suspicion.
Still looking for trouble now, so hard to deal with!
Qin Yanchen's words attracted Gu Yunni, and she walked over with the National Master.
There is no trace of ghosts in this house. If they want to drive the county magistrate crazy, they must have poisoned him or it is an illusion.
No matter how stupid the county magistrate was, he would not use his imagination to scare himself into this state.
"Tea? Let me see."
Sure enough, when Gu Yunni picked up the tea and took a sip, she found a talisman paper inside.
It's the illusion talisman paper.
"Look at this! I'm not lying. I've drunk a lot of tea before. After all, I can read and write, and I've worked as a housekeeper in countless homes. But what the hell is this? I've never tasted tea this bad!"
The Imperial Master understood Gu Yunni's expression and couldn't help but sigh.
"It seems my guess is correct. Now that our whereabouts have been exposed, the person behind this is getting restless and wants to deal with the county magistrate. He must know something that others don't."
If I had known earlier that I was at the city gate, I should have rushed to the county magistrate's mansion as soon as possible and would not have let this tragedy happen.
Gu Yunni pondered for a long time before coming to a conclusion. "He controls so many little ghosts and doesn't let them come over. He's probably afraid we'll run into him. But who is he exactly? How could he put talismans in tea? Is he still in the County Magistrate's Mansion?"
Sheng Mingyu understood instantly and gave the order directly.
The crowd surrounded the county magistrate's mansion and searched for a long time, but no suspicious persons were found.
"Yun Ni, there's no such person as you mentioned. These servants have been working in the county magistrate's mansion for a long time and probably won't come into contact with outsiders."
Gu Yunni was not disappointed with this answer, as she had not held much hope in the first place.
The person behind this is so smart, how could he have left such a simple clue?
"Forget it, it's just a guess. If we can't find out, then we can't find out. Let's go to the county magistrate's study and see if there are any other clues."
Gu Yunni always felt that the county magistrate must be hiding some secret.
