Since he is in charge of Anyuan County, he naturally hopes that the officials below will obey his orders.
Gu Yunni and the Imperial Master covered their mouths and laughed secretly. I can’t tell that Sheng Mingyu is particularly proud now.
Although Sheng Mingyu had commanded a large army before, he had stayed in Kyoto for too long and probably hadn't felt this feeling for a long time.
"May His Royal Highness be safe and sound!"
The county officials below knelt beside Sheng Mingyu and shouted "Long live the country" as if they were attending a morning court session.
This scared him, and the Imperial Master and Gu Yunni were also very surprised. As officials, shouldn't they have learned etiquette?
They should know who should be used against this kind of situation and who should not be used against.
Sheng Mingyu's face darkened, and the officials below looked at each other, not knowing what they had done wrong.
"What kind of rule is this? Who taught you this? This can only be used on His Majesty. Are you trying to push me into eternal damnation by using it on me?"
Sheng Mingyu couldn't bear to see them pretending to be stupid, so he pointed it out directly.
Even if you want to set a trap for yourself, you should use a smart method.
"Your Highness, you misunderstood. Our previous county magistrate made us chant like this all day long, and we thought you liked it too, so we followed the old rules. I'm truly sorry."
"Yes, we used to do this every day. We've gotten used to it. We're still a little uncomfortable with the sudden change of rules, but we definitely won't do it again."
After listening to what Sheng Mingyu said, these people realized where they were wrong.
Yes, it would be fine if this method was used on the county magistrate, but they actually dared to use it on Sheng Mingyu. They are so stupid.
Upon hearing this, several people looked at each other.
I thought the previous county magistrate was inactive, but I didn't expect he had such thoughts.
It's a joke that he doesn't do anything but still dreams of a high position.
"Oh, the county magistrate is quite thoughtful, but the person is already dead, so let's not pursue these matters. But you must be careful in the future."
Sheng Mingyu sneered in his heart. Fortunately, the previous county magistrate was dead, otherwise he would never let him go.
He knew that these things should not be blamed on the officials below, so he started talking about business.
"Tell me, what troubles are there? Do you need me to deal with them? If not, just tell me about the haunting. I came here just to deal with the hauntings."
It is better to solve the problem first. This is something Gu Yunni has been thinking about all day.
The officials were silent for a long time before they slowly spoke, "Your Highness, we have many old cases here, and many people have suffered injustice. If you have the time, why not seek justice for them?"
I shouldn't have asked Sheng Mingyu for help on this matter, but I don't know what the next official's temper will be like.
Asking that person for help would only cause the people to suffer more grievances.
Sheng Mingyu frowned, feeling an inexplicable irritation rising in his heart. "Shouldn't you investigate this old case yourselves? Why let me investigate it? What did the county magistrate do before? Even if you were afraid of the county magistrate, now that he's dead, you can just let him do it."
He hoped to seek justice for the people, but he never said that he would take on all the troubles that did not belong to him.
"This... Your Highness, it's not that we don't want to do it, but we don't have the right to do it. The rules set by the former county magistrate, we can only act according to his orders."
The officials knelt on the ground.
They have suffered so much injustice as officials in Anyuan County. They really wish Sheng Mingyu was here from beginning to end.
Sheng Mingyu was a little confused, but he still took care of the matter.
"What kind of rules are these? Okay, let's dig up some old cases and see if I can help."
The officials of Anyuan County could be managed in this way, and it was not something that the county magistrate alone could accomplish.
Maybe there is something hidden among these officials.
"yes."
When the officials below heard what Sheng Mingyu said, they all smiled and hurried back home to bring out all the cases they had remembered.
After no one was in the room, Sheng Mingyu hugged Gu Yunni and complained.
"Yun Ni, I originally wanted to investigate the haunting for you, but ended up getting dragged into an old case. I have to take care of this matter first."
In the past, he wanted to put the people first. If he had encountered such a thing in the past, he would definitely have done it without hesitation.
But it’s not possible now, he wants to put Gu Yunni first.
Gu Yunni smiled gently and gently stroked Sheng Mingyu's cheek.
"It's okay. I also hope you can do more for the people. I'm responsible for everything here. I can handle it. I don't need to rely on you for everything. If there's anything you can't handle, you can ask me. What if I can help you?"
She comforted Sheng Mingyu and supported his decision.
With Sheng Mingyu's identity, he should indeed do more things and not waste his time on himself, otherwise people will accuse him of not doing his job properly.
Sheng Mingyu was surprised and looked at Gu Yunni with shining eyes.
"Really? Yun Ni, this prince also wants to help you. If you go out to investigate the case with only the Imperial Preceptor and Qin Yanchen, this prince will be worried."
Gu Yunni nodded, "Don't worry, most of the things will still be investigated by them, and there are also yamen runners under your command. I am a woman, and going out all the time will attract attention."
She told Sheng Mingyu about the plan the three of them had discussed last night.
Originally, she hadn't thought of letting Sheng Mingyu participate too much in this matter, so this was in line with her own ideas.
Sheng Mingyu also nodded and touched Gu Yunni's head. "Then you should stay with me more. I will also let my people keep an eye on your case."
Although their whereabouts have been exposed, we should hurry up to investigate, otherwise the clues will be destroyed by the other side.
But if you are too anxious, it will only make the other side desperate.
When the Imperial Master sent the officials back, he saw Gu Yunni and Sheng Mingyu hugging each other, which was an eyesore.
"Stop being so annoying. At least find an official and ask him what's going on with this little ghost. Let me know what's going on."
In broad daylight, how shameless!
Qin Yanchen's words were also full of sarcasm. "That's right, you two shouldn't always be together. Can you do something serious? Yun Ni, don't forget what you promised me before. I am your guest!"
"Don't worry, I've kept your story in mind, and I have some guesses. We still have to solve the little ghost's story and find the person behind it before we can find a solution."
This was the result of Gu Yunni's thinking all night yesterday.
Who else could have accomplished such a great feat except the former master of the mystical arts?
It is estimated that the person behind these two things is the same person.
Qin Yanchen was skeptical, but he didn't dare to question Gu Yunni, as she always had her own methods in doing things.
Saying harsh words will only make Gu Yunni angry.
"Okay, then I'll trust you for now, but you have to solve my problem quickly. You know, I've had enough of living like this."
