At this time, it was just getting dark, and many good people in the brothel saw that there was a good show to watch, so they all followed out of the brothel and went to the yamen.

Shen Yu'an and Ying Ying also followed the flow of people to the outside of the county government office.

"Stop, don't go in." Everyone wanted to go in to watch, but was blocked by a few killing sticks, "The county magistrate said that this case is a private grievance, and it will not be heard in public.

Everyone couldn't get in, so they gathered outside to discuss.

"Guess how much money the prince will pay Huang Xiucai?"

"At least this number." Someone raised a palm.

"I'm afraid it's more than that, Wang Yuan's family is rich~~." The man said meaningfully, "If you don't believe me, make a bet, there are seven or eight thousand taels that can't solve this matter.

Many people also nodded in agreement.

"This~~ everyone, the prince's eyes were blown out by Huang Xiucai, and he still wants to pay Huang Xiucai?" Shen Yuan interjected puzzled.

"Is your son a foreigner?" Hearing Shen Yuan's question, the eyes of the people around her all fell on her.

"Well, I just came to Yanggu County today." Shen Yuan nodded.

Everyone saw that she was very good-looking and very pleasing to the eye, and they were willing to say a few more words to her.

Someone whispered to her, "Young master seems to be in Peony Tower just now, right? Brother, I kindly remind you, don't mess with anyone, don't mess with this Huang Xiucai!"

"Isn't it?" The other person answered in a low voice, "My lord, if you have some family background~~ You'd better stay away when you see Huang Xiucai, otherwise~~"

"You two, what do you mean, Huang Xiucai and County Magistrate Lei have teamed up to cheat people out of money?" Shen Yu said.

"Harm~~ We never said that." The two hurriedly waved their hands, with a look of secretiveness.

One of them warned Shen Yuan in a low voice, "My lord, be careful what comes out of your mouth~~ If such words are spread, you may not be able to leave Yanggu County~~
Shen Yuan took a deep breath after hearing this, it seems that Yanggu County is really the right place, the 'water' here is really deep!
After waiting outside for a long time, the case inside was heard, and the prince with gauze tied to one eye came out dejectedly, and hurried away with a group of servants.

After Prince Wang left, County Magistrate Lei and Huang Xiucai came out laughing.

Huang Xiucai spoke gratefully to Lei County Magistrate with an adoring and respectful look.

"Magistrate Lei, you are such a good and upright official. You defied power and made decisions for me, a poor scholar, and tried justice for our people."

"It should be." County magistrate Lei raised his chin, and glanced at the onlookers triumphantly, "An official should make decisions for the people. Wang Xiucai took advantage of his family's wealth and power to bully scholars and led a group of servants to beat them up. You are a talented scholar who has no power to restrain a chicken~~I naturally don’t follow~~'

Shen Yuan: She really admires the skill of opening her eyes and talking about it.

After the high-sounding nonsense, Huang Xiucai left triumphantly, and Lei County Magistrate did not forget to deliver a righteous and stern speech to the onlookers, and then entered the yamen contentedly.

At this time, someone found out that Wang Gongzi compensated Huang Xiucai for seven or two, and the matter was private.

Even if the eyes are beaten blind, people will still be compensated seven times. This thing is really unheard of, and it is an eye-opener.

After returning to the inn, Shen Yuan ordered Lin Yi, the secret guard who followed her to Yanggu County: "Go and find out the details of Lei Xianling and Huang Xiucai.

She felt that in order to investigate the case of Miss Gao's disappearance, it was necessary to find out Huang Xiucai's origin. This Huang Xiucai was a bit of a misnomer. How could he look like a scholar? He looked more like a villain!
There is also the magistrate of Lei County. Having such an official is simply a disaster! It is simply irresponsible to the people not to get rid of it.

After sending people out to investigate, Shen Yuan planned to take it easy and not disturb Huang Xiucai.

The next day, she took Shadow to visit Mo Shi.

Her own daughter didn't know people clearly, and a wrong decision caused Gao's family to be ruined and their money lost. Mo's now lives in a dilapidated house in the south of the city. Tears welled up in his eyes again, and he knelt down towards Shen Yuan with a plop.

As a mere commoner, she was very moved to invite the noble Princess Ye to avenge her daughter's grievances. Unexpectedly, Princess Ye personally sent her these rice grains and daily necessities. Such caring really made her feel extremely warm , couldn't help crying.

"Ma'am, don't be sad." Shen Yuan personally helped Mo Shi up from the ground, "The current hardship is also temporary, your daughter's case and your Gao family's property that fell into the hands of Huang Xiucai, I will definitely check it out for you , I will bring back everything that should be brought back to you, and give your Gao family justice.

"It is said that His Royal Highness Ye Wang cares about the people of the world and regards the people as his sons. Now the women have seen it~~" Mo wiped his tears, said every sentence from the bottom of his heart, and then turned his pleading eyes to Shen Yu'an, "Princess, the women are brave There is another request, Lei County ordered the fish and meat people to work for tigers, and I beg the princess to check him too~~'
"I've already sent someone to investigate." Shen Yu'an nodded affirmatively, "Madam Mo, I have to thank you on behalf of His Royal Highness Ye Wang, if you didn't go to Shenjia Village to find me, how would we know that Yanggu County has hidden secrets? Such a corrupt official with a human face and animal heart? Since I have come to Yanggu County, I will naturally not let a corrupt official like Lei County Magistrate go.'
Lingzhou will soon become the fiefdom of the King of the Night, and she will definitely become a good princess, govern Lingzhou well, and let the people here live and work in peace and contentment.

Mo Shi nodded excitedly after hearing this remark. She is a country woman who doesn't understand political affairs, but complains that God is unfair. Why can't the Night King be the emperor if he cares about the people of the world so much?
Shen Yuan drank a cup of tea at Mo's place, sat down for a while to comfort her, and then left.

In the next two days, Shen Yu'an made a secret investigation with his shadow, and found out a lot of news.

For example, no one has ever seen Miss Gao interacting with a man, especially the night before her disappearance, an old woman saw her return to the mansion with her own eyes, and the two greeted her at the time, and the news spread that Miss Gao eloped with someone the next day , the aunt didn't believe it at all. Although she didn't dare to say it clearly, Shen Yuan could still see from it that she suspected that Miss Gao was murdered by Huang Xiucai.

After a round of unannounced visits, not one or two people had this question, but because of Huang Xiucai's notoriety, no one dared to say a word.

Four days later, Ji Dong came back.

"Master, I found out." Lin Yi spread out a portrait on the table, "I found Huang Xiucai's hometown in a village in Tongzhou according to his household registration, and drew a picture of him according to the dictation of his neighbors." 's portrait back.'
Shen Yu'an took a look, and saw that the Huang Xiucai in the portrait had delicate features, which did not match the appearance of the "Huang Xiucai" in Yanggu County, and he was extremely astonished.
