"But Qi'an County is just a place as big as the palm of your hand," Dai Song spread his hands, "Xiaguan once investigated this matter, but there were no clues. Later, he just said it was a misinformation among the people and didn't take it to heart anymore."
"You mean..." Ji Yannuo suddenly sat up straight.
Dai Song nodded: "Xiaoguan feels that the abandoned village is extremely suspicious."
"Did you check it out later?"
"The official has never checked again." Dai Song shook his head, "This matter is of great importance. The official is afraid of disturbing the grass and alarming the snake, so he dare not act rashly."
"So," Ji Yannuo looked at him steadily, "you suspect that you were framed because you found out about it?"
"Exactly. I was thinking about it in prison and there was only one possibility."
Dai Song believed that the people and officials were diligent and dedicated, and he had never offended his fellow officers. The only doubt was the abandoned village.
"Then what do you plan to do if you tell me this now?" Ji Yannuo looked at Dai Song seriously and asked.
"The official is not sure that there must be something wrong with the abandoned village, but judging from all the previous signs, it is extremely suspicious."
Dai Song handed over his hand and said: "Your Excellency, you have a high position and great authority. I only ask you to put the interests of the people first and thoroughly investigate the matter of the abandoned village!"
Ji Yannuo was silent for a long time.
Suddenly he took out the crown prince's jade order from his arms and showed it in front of Dai Song: "My magistrate Dai, let me tell you the truth, this palace is not your lord."
Dai Song took a closer look at the crown prince's jade order in Ji Yannuo's hand. He was so shocked that he stood up and knelt down to worship: "I don't know the crown prince..."
"There is no need to be polite, Magistrate Dai." Ji Yannuo helped him up, "I am leaving the palace in secret this time. This matter should not be made public."
"As for the matter of the ruined village that you mentioned, I will arrange personnel to investigate secretly. If the situation is true, I will notify Magistrate Dai to cooperate."
"Yes! Your Highness the Crown Prince!" Magistrate Dai shook his hands excitedly. He did not dare to act rashly on the abandoned village, for fear that it would affect his entire body and make the real mastermind find out and move away or escape. He was doing it every day.
worry.
Now the person in front of him turned out to be His Highness the Crown Prince, which made him feel convinced from the bottom of his heart.
"This matter is of great importance and needs to be discussed in the long term," Ji Yannuo said, "Except for the two of us, we cannot tell the third person to know."
"Yes, I would like to obey His Highness's instructions." Dai Song looked solemn.
"You can just continue to work as usual, and I..." Ji Yannuo thought, "I pretended to be visiting the mountains and rivers and stayed in Qi'an County for a while, but in fact I arranged it secretly. Is there any pleasant place nearby?
?”
Dai Song thought for a moment: "Back to Your Highness, there is a hot spring villa on the outskirts of Qi'an County."
"Okay, then I will take my wife to the hot spring villa to stay for a few days tomorrow."
After breakfast on the second day, Ye Fuxun followed Ji Yannuo's carriage and left Dai Mansion, heading for the Hot Spring Villa on the outskirts of the county.
Ye Fuxun leaned against the carriage window and looked out. He saw Miss Yu who was seeing him off looking puzzled and anxious, as if he wanted to follow their carriage.
She also expressed that she didn't quite understand: "Master, how long should we stay at the Hot Spring Villa?"
Ji Yannuo crossed his legs and responded calmly: "A few days."
"Why?" Ye Fuxun turned his head and looked at Ji Yannuo. Now that the matter in Qi'an County is settled, shouldn't it be time to leave for the capital?
Moreover, looking at Ji Yannuo's solemn look, he didn't look like he was going to go sightseeing and have fun at all.
"What? Don't want to go?" Ji Yannuo looked at her.
Ye Fuxun grinned: "Of course I want to go."
Taking a hot spring bath or something sounds very attractive.
She just wanted to find out Ji Yannuo's true plan, but seeing that Ji Yannuo had no intention of telling her, she suddenly felt something in her heart.
"Jiujiu, activate the mind-reading technique." This mind-reading technique has not been used on Demon Ji yet, and she immediately felt excited.
Jiujiu responded: 'Host, do you want to activate the mind-reading ability on His Highness the Crown Prince?'
"Yes." She and Ji Yannuo were the only two people in the carriage. Do I still need to ask?
‘Host, mind reading has been activated.’ Jiujiu responded quickly.
Ye Fuxun narrowed his big, rippling eyes and lifted his chin to look at Ji Yannuo's face.
Look hard.
Look harder.
Huh?
Why isn't there any sound?
Could it be that Demon Ji has nothing on his mind right now?
Ye Fuxun looked confused and rubbed against Ji Yannuo: "Sir, what do you think about Miss Yu being rescued and raised by someone after being separated from Magistrate Dai, and then wandering around to study medicine?"
Ji Yannuo's face was expressionless: "I am very free?"
Weird, there really isn't any feedback.
It's impossible for Demon Ji to have nothing on his mind, right?
"Then what do you think of Miss Yu?" Ye Fuxun refused to give up and asked another question.
Ji Yannuo's expression remained unchanged: "What do you have to do with me?"
There is really no feedback!
Ye Fuxun asked the system in his heart: "Jiujiu, the mind-reading technique seems to have failed on His Highness the Crown Prince. What's going on?"
Jiujiu was also confused: 'Does the host want to try again?'
After finishing speaking, Jiujiu quickly clicked on the system group to ask for the reason.
Senior 1: (Looking deep in thought) It stands to reason that the function of the system will not fail.
Senior 2: Maybe it’s because the other party is the male protagonist, so it can’t be read.
Senior 3: Maybe it’s a problem with the system! Let me tell you, this is a small problem and it’s nothing. The problems your brother and I encountered back then almost killed my host.
Jiujiu silently looked at the 10,000 words that Senior San had saved, and said to Ye Fuxun: 'Host, maybe because His Highness the Crown Prince is the male protagonist, the mind-reading skills are ineffective.'
Ye Fuxun pursed his lips.
What's the use of this mind-reading skill if it can't be used on key figures?
The carriage swayed out of the county town and arrived at the Hot Spring Villa not long after.
Because of their stay, the entire villa was not receiving other guests.
Crisp green mountain forests are everywhere, the trails are winding and clean, and the steaming mist can be vaguely seen on the mountainside, making it feel like entering a fairyland on earth.
Ye Fuxun's mood improved for no reason.
No matter what Ji Yannuo's intentions were, being able to stay in such a wonderland for a few days and soak in hot springs would be as happy as a vacation.
However, Ye Fuxun soon learned that Demon Ji came to the hot spring villa because he was just a drunkard and not interested in drinking.
Hot spring bath?
Nothing.
Basically, after entering the hot spring villa with her, he didn't know where he was going in the blink of an eye.
Not only that, Ji Yannuo didn't show up for three consecutive days, as if she came to the hot springs alone.
Fortunately, Ye Fuxun was a casual person. Ji Yannuo didn't tell her his true purpose, and his mind-reading skills didn't work, so she simply didn't bother to guess.
In addition to eating and sleeping every day, when I have free time, I lead Xiaoyu to soak in the hot spring pool, which is very comfortable.
"You can't soak in this hot spring all the time."
Ye Fuxun was lying on the edge of the pool, eating cut fruits, and said to Xiao Yu boredly: "If you soak for a long time, your heart will not be able to bear it."
