Chapter 210 The Great Zhou Kingdom Doesn't Have a Night King and Has Never Had a Night Princess
Chapter 210 There is no Night King in the Zhou Kingdom, and there has never been a Night Princess.
After returning to the inn next to the Yamen and introducing Zhang Neng to Shopkeeper Bai, Shopkeeper Bai breathed a sigh of relief.
It seems that this girl's man can be saved, and God is wise, so this case can be taken so seriously by the inspector.
"Let's go see the county magistrate first." Zhang Neng went straight to the county government office.
"Who are you? How dare you barge into the county government office with such arrogance?" Seeing Zhang Neng's impressive momentum, the master didn't dare to put too much emphasis on his tone. His eyes kept looking at Zhang Neng, unable to figure out where he was coming from.
"Call Magistrate Lin out." Zhang Neng directly showed his badge as a patrol officer. The master's face changed when he saw it, and he hurriedly went to the back hall to summon Magistrate Lin.
Magistrate Lin quickly came out with his clothes in hand, a panic look on his face.
"I've met Mr. Zhang." He hurriedly bowed his hands to Zhang Neng and bowed respectfully.
Then he called Zhang Neng, Shen Yuyu, and Shopkeeper Bai to sit down, "Sir Zhang, what are your instructions from the Inspector?" The Inspector was just passing through Wantian County on his way to Lingzhou City, and I don't know who dared to alarm him. .
Thinking about the county magistrate, he glanced at Shen Yuyu and Shopkeeper Bai with his lips curled up.
He didn't recognize Shen Yuyu, but could he recognize Shopkeeper Bai? There was no telling what case he was involved in among the gangsters in the yamen.
Zhang Neng did not mince words and said directly: "Is there a suspect named Ji Xun on your death row?"
"Yes." Magistrate Lin nodded.
"Jixun's case needs to be thoroughly investigated, so I've taken it over. Take me to see him."
"You took over? Isn't this bad?"
"Isn't it bad? Then why don't you throw away the black gauze hat of County Magistrate Lin? How about that?"
Magistrate Lin's expression changed greatly, and he said hurriedly: "Although this matter is the official's job, since the Inspector has sent Mr. Zhang here, let's leave this case to Mr. Zhang for trial."
Zhang Neng corrected him coldly: "Magistrate Lin made a mistake. It was not a trial, but a thorough investigation. Until I thoroughly investigate this case, Ji Xun will be under my care."
"W-how can this be done? That's a murder suspect."
"It seems that County Magistrate Lin is unwilling to hand over the case to me?"
"How dare you lower your rank?"
"Since you don't dare, then don't take any more care. Are you still afraid that I won't be able to let the suspect go?"
"I dare not think like this."
"That's enough, take me to see Ji Xun."
"Yes, please follow me." Magistrate Lin respectfully took Zhang Neng to the death row.
After they left, Shopkeeper Bai looked at Shen Yuyu: "Girl Shen, you are so awesome. How did you convince the inspector to take over the case?'
Shen Yuyu was also confused. She also wanted to use the jade pendant as a bribe, but it was confiscated. Is it because of the mercy of God? Ji Xun's character exploded?
Shen Yuyu spread his hands, noncommittal.
Shopkeeper Bai saw that she couldn't give an answer, so he stopped asking. The two of them drank tea and waited in the lobby.
County Magistrate Lin took Zhang Neng to the death row.
"You wait outside." Zhang Neng ordered directly without any politeness.
Magistrate Lin was also very angry. In his own territory, the patrol came to meddle in other people's business, which was unlucky.
Well, the reason why he wanted to close this case as soon as possible was just to save some expenses and increase the detection rate, and he didn't want to put in the effort.
Now the Governor has to send someone to do the trouble, so let him do the trouble, but don't even think about asking him to allocate public funds.
Magistrate Lin exited the death row and waited outside the cell.
Zhang Neng went straight to the door of the cell and was greatly surprised when he saw a familiar figure sitting against the wall.
"His Royal Highness the Night King." Zhang Neng shouted softly, looking at the dirty cell.
It seems that His Highness has suffered such a heavy blow that he is so disheartened that he no longer cares about himself. Otherwise, how could he, who is a mysophobic person, be able to stay here?
Ji Xun also recognized Zhang Neng and asked expressionlessly: "Why are you here? King Xuan asked you to come?"
"No." Zhang Neng shook his head, "It was Princess Ye who risked her life to stop King Xuan's carriage to plead grievances for you."
"Night Princess?" Ji Xun's eyes suddenly changed, and anger surged in his eyes, "There is no Night King in the Great Zhou Kingdom, and there has never been a Night Princess.'
His voice was terrifyingly cold, as if the surrounding air had suddenly cooled down, and the deep-seated hatred radiated from every inch of his body, making people feel a chill in their hearts.
"Sorry for offending Your Highness." Zhang Neng bowed his head. The once feared God of War of the Zhou Dynasty, although now retired to the countryside, his momentum has not diminished at all.
After a while, Ji Xun calmed down: "Her name is Shen Yuyu, she is the daughter of one of my benefactors, I will protect her for the time being." Zhang Neng was startled by Ji Xun's performance just now, thinking that he was slowly turning everything over. Forgot.
That vicious woman broke his hamstrings and smeared poison on the sword in an attempt to kill him. Who can understand the pain of that vicious woman who has never experienced it?
Princess Xia Luoluo of Da Qi is a nightmare that he hates so much!
"Miss Yu Yu is very worried about you and is trying every possible means to save you. You should get away first so that others won't be anxious." Ji Xun narrowed his eyes, and a face with a bright smile appeared in front of his eyes, Shen Yu Yu.
She might really worry about him and need him, but after experiencing such a murder, it would be difficult for him to trust others easily. Ji Xun's heart hardened again.
"Your Highness, do you want to return to Beijing?" Zhang Neng asked.
"I don't want to." Ji Xun answered with certainty. His legs were disabled and he couldn't even go to the battlefield. He was also poisoned and might die at any time. What would he do if he went back? Why not just spend his remaining days in the countryside.
"Then your Highness surely doesn't want to expose his identity, right?"
"Yes." It was precisely because he didn't want to be exposed that he didn't show the Tiger Talisman of the Red Flame Camp, otherwise he could be released from prison at any time.
Zhang Neng was silent and said, "Don't worry, Your Highness, I have taken over your case, and I will definitely investigate this murder case and clear your name." Since His Highness doesn't want to restore his identity, naturally he can't force him.
"I'm sorry to trouble you." Ji Xun returned to his cold demeanor. He didn't know whether he had lost hope in the world or himself.
"Then please, Your Highness, follow me out and don't have to stay in this filthy place."
Hearing the word "filthy", Ji Xun woke up from his confusion. He had a mysophobia, but he tortured himself by putting himself in such a filthy place, so he felt that he was still alive.
After I woke up at this moment, I felt it was really unbearable.
Then he stood up and followed Zhang Neng out.
"He is a suspect, how could Mr. Zhang not put shackles on him?" Zhang Neng glared at him, and Magistrate Lin immediately shut up.
Seeing Ji Xun coming out behind Zhang Neng, Shen Yu's nose felt sour, and she ran over and hugged him, her eyes full of determination.
"Don't worry, Ah Xun. I will definitely investigate the case and clear your grievances, so that you and Ah Xun can be reunited as soon as possible."
Ji Xun's expression was as indifferent and calm as ever: "I told you I'm fine, you don't have to worry about me."
"You said you're fine? Look how dirty you are. Your hair is also messed up." Shen Yuxi raised his hand to remove the straw stuck in the roots of his hair, feeling a faint heartache.
