Chapter 133 I run by myself?

Half a month later, the people in Qinglin County and several disaster-stricken counties around them basically settled down again with the help of the imperial court. At this moment, Qin Xiao received the emperor's order to investigate the corruption of Qingmei County Magistrate.

The escort team that came with Qinghe County had already gone back, and Jiang Ning wanted to go back too, but was always blocked by Qin Xiao.

After the disaster was finally over, Jiang Ning was planning to pack up his things and go home, but was stopped by Qin Xiao again.

The homesick Jiang Ning raised her fist angrily: "I'm not your personal girl, I didn't sell myself to you, it was enough for me to protect you during the disaster, now I want to go home when the disaster is over, you want If you dare to stop me again, I will break your limbs!"

Qin Xiao told Jiang Ning that he had received an order from Cha Qingmei County Magistrate: "Don't you want to see their fate with your own eyes? Don't you want to know how much money he embezzled before he can calmly compensate you 1 taels? The most important thing is , You saved me so many times during this time, and I haven’t repaid Yin yet, you don’t want Yin anymore?”

Jiang Ning: "Yes, but don't you have no money now? Just send someone to give me money after you return to the capital, unless you want to renege on your debt!"

Qin Xiao: "I'm sure I won't renege on the debt, but the premise of my repayment is that I'm still alive. As my creditor, shouldn't you protect my safety before I give the money?"

Jiang Ning: "..."

It made sense, but she couldn't refute it.

In the end, Jiang Ning agreed to stay with Qin Xiao to investigate the corruption of the magistrate of Qingmei County. First, she really wanted to know whether the magistrate of Qingmei County was corrupt, how much was corrupted, and what happened?Second, Qin Xiao gave too much.

Jiang Ning wrote a letter to his parents, telling them that he had other things to do and would go home late so that they should not worry about him, and then asked Qin Xiao to write an IOU for himself, in black and white, to prevent Qin Xiao from reneging on the debt:
"Every time I save you from now on, you have to write me an IOU."

Qin Xiao nodded with a smile: "Okay."

Jiang Ning looked at Qin Xiao suspiciously: "You owe me so much money, can you still laugh?"

You don't want to renege on your debt, do you?

Qin Xiaoyi said rightly: "I am the heir of Zhennan Prince's Mansion anyway, so I can still get this little money."

It makes sense for Jiang Ning to think about it. Besides, the Zhennan Palace should be the target of many people who want to curry favor. It is estimated that there is no shortage of money, but does this count as corruption?

Thinking that King Zhennan is the younger brother of the current emperor, and the whole country belongs to their family, Jiang Ning felt that this should not be regarded as corruption, but what happened to the sudden envy?

After collecting the IOU, Jiang Ning actively urged Qin Xiao to go to the county magistrate.

Qin Xiao looked at Jiang Ning and said: "I don't need to personally come forward for this kind of thing, as long as I give orders, the people below will naturally investigate. Since you got the compensation from the county magistrate, I have asked Xu Yuan to secretly Probe."

Jiang Ning: "..."

No wonder Xu Yuan, as Qin Xiao's personal bodyguard, was always elusive. It turned out that he was there to investigate the case.

So many days have passed, have you found anything?
Qin Xiao: "It has been confirmed that the prefect of Qingmei County has been corrupted, and the amount is quite large, but there is still a key piece of evidence missing."

Jiang Ning: "What key evidence?"

Qin Xiao: "The ledger."

Jiang Ning: "His account book must be at home, why not just search it?"

Qin Xiao shook his head: "How can we search without evidence? We have to talk about evidence in handling the case, and we can't be so rude. Besides, if he is not at home and we fail to search, how will we explain it when the time comes?"

Jiang Ning thought for a while and asked, "Then how did Xu Yuan determine that the magistrate of Qingmei County had corruption and the amount was quite large? He found a huge amount of property in his home?"

Qin Xiao nodded: "En."

Jiang Ning: "Then this is the evidence. Arrest him and let him explain where the huge amount of property came from? If he doesn't explain clearly, doesn't it prove that he is corrupt?"

Qin Xiao shook his head: "It's not enough to prove that he was corrupt, but he has to explain where the money came from? If there is no definite evidence, how can he prove that what he said is true? And what if someone is behind him, but He's taking all the blame on himself for some reason, and we can catch a small fish and let a big one go."

Jiang Ning: "If he might disregard his own life and death for that big fish, then he probably won't leave relevant evidence?"

Qin Xiao smiled: "You don't understand this. He is willing to take everything on himself when the Dong Chuang incident happens. It doesn't mean he won't hold back. This is human nature."

Jiang Ning: "..."

It's so complicated, she doesn't understand.

At the same time, the county magistrate also got news that Qin Xiao was investigating him, but he was not in a panic because he had already received someone's order to make Qin Xiao come and go.

In fact, this matter was not difficult at first, what was difficult was that Jiang Ning appeared beside Qin Xiao.

This girl was born supernatural and ruthless, and the assassins he sent out had already failed several times. Now it seemed that he could only use his previous relationship to invite that person out of the mountain.

He believes that Jiang Ning, who is extremely powerful, is no match for the real top assassin.

Besides, his target is not Jiang Ning, but Qin Xiao.

He didn't believe that Jiang Ning could stare at Qin Xiao energetically for twelve hours a day.

Thinking of this, Zhixian sent his confidants to leave Qingmei County quietly one night...

Xu Yuan, who had been staring at the county magistrate, immediately came back and reported to Qin Xiao: "He seems to have sent his henchmen to invite someone out of the mountain. Do you want to stop his henchmen on the way?"

Qin Xiao thought for a while and shook his head: "Just keep an eye on him, just to see if he has any great connections?"

I really didn't expect that a small county magistrate would have direct contact with people in the capital. It seems that he underestimated this ordinary-looking green plum magistrate.

Xu Yuan said yes, and immediately turned to make arrangements.

Jiang Ning didn't know anything about it. After three days of doing nothing, Jiang Ning was not used to asking why Qin Xiao didn't have any assassins anymore.
When Qin Xiao was busy fighting disasters before, it was really a group of assassins coming every other day.

Qin Xiao looked at Jiang Ning with a smile: "Aren't you used to not having an assassin? I guess the assassins should know that I have a super powerful master by my side, so they dare not come."

Jiang Ning couldn't help showing a proud expression when he heard the words: "If I go to the battlefield with my strength, it will definitely sweep away thousands of troops."

Qin Xiao poured cold water on Jiang Ning: "Don't be too complacent. There are people beyond people and heaven beyond the sky. You are not a master of martial arts, but only have infinite strength. If you meet a top assassin, you are no match at all."

"I got the news that the county magistrate sent someone to hire a very powerful helper. I may meet a super powerful assassin next time. If you can't stand it then run away by yourself. Leave me alone and pay attention to your own safety, you know?"

Jiang Ning was a little surprised when he heard Qin Xiao's words: "I run by myself?"

Qin Xiao smiled: "Didn't you say that, you are not my personal girl, and you have not signed a contract of sale to me, so naturally you can't work for me. If you are in danger, you should protect your own safety first."
