Xiao Lingyue ignored her, turned to look at Qiao Qing, and said apologetically: "I'm sorry, I hid something from you. I'll explain it to you later when I have time."
During these days on the road, Qiao Qing has been very kind to her and treats her as a friend.
Xiao Lingyue didn't want to deceive her, but there were some things that Qiao Qing was not suitable to know too much about, which would bring unnecessary trouble to her.
Qiao Qing nodded with a complicated expression, her face full of hesitation and hesitation.
Xiao Lingyue couldn't say much to her, so she looked at Prince Xiang again: "Master Hu, can you take a step to speak?"
There were too many things she couldn't say in public, and she also had some questions to ask King Xiang.
"Okay, I also have something to tell you." Prince Xiang nodded immediately.
The words just fell.
A panicked cry suddenly came: "Master Ji! Something's wrong!!"
At the same time, a yamen servant with a panic-stricken look on his face rushed into the yamen and said, "Oh no! Something big has happened——"
The expressions of everyone in the hall changed slightly.
Master Ji stepped forward with a stern face and reprimanded: "What kind of fuss is there? What happened?"
The yamen servant knelt on the ground with a plop, his face turned pale: "Master Li, Master Li..."
Chief Ji frowned: "What happened to Mr. Li? Didn't you send someone to invite him?"
The yamen servant swallowed hard and said in horror: "Master Li...he was killed!!"
One sentence shocked everyone!
Xiao Lingyue's eyes suddenly darkened, and she glanced at the others calmly.
finally come.
Master Ji was stunned when he heard this, and then jumped up like a cat whose tail was stepped on, and exclaimed: "What did you say?!"
He rushed forward, grabbed the officer's collar and said angrily: "Say it again? Who was killed?"
The yamen officer's eyes were red: "My subordinates were ordered to invite Master Li, but Master Li never came out. When I broke in and took a look... I saw Master Li's body lying on the floor of the room, already...
.Has been dead for a long time!"
Master Ji loosened his grip and staggered back a few steps, his face extremely pale: "How is this possible..."
Prince Xiang looked puzzled, and then frowned: "Is Mr. Li the county magistrate here? How could such a good person be suddenly killed?"
He didn't know what Xiao Lingyue and Zhan Beihan did last night. When he heard the news of Li Bihuai's death, he felt incredible. His first reaction was that someone was coming for them.
Shilang Shen stepped forward with a serious expression: "Master Li was killed, what about the others?"
Yamen servant: "Everyone else is at Li's house. I don't know what to do. Let my subordinates come back first to report the news..."
Before he could finish his words, Minister Shen made a decisive decision: "The county magistrate has been killed. This is a serious matter. We must investigate it thoroughly! Director Ji!"
Chief Ji was excited: "The official is here!"
"Immediately gather people, let a trustworthy government officer lead the team, seal off Li's house, temporarily supervise everyone, and no one is allowed to leave without permission! Find two more gangsters, examine Mr. Li's body carefully, and find out the cause of death!"
Shilang Shen said sternly.
Chief Ji was already in a state of confusion. Hearing this, he subconsciously obeyed the order: "Yes, I will do it now! You all follow me!"
He hurriedly led the government servants in the hall out, leaving only three or five people waiting for orders.
Shilang Shen looked at Boss Zhao and others with a serious face again: "The incident happened suddenly, and you can't leave the county government until the suspicion is eliminated! Take them all down and keep them under temporary supervision!"
Boss Zhao panicked: "Sir, we are innocent..."
Minister Shen said: "I didn't say you were guilty, but you are all innocent. We will know after we investigate!"
