Early the next morning, Hua Rujin was going to visit the shop and then go to the inner city to see the house.

Along the way, he and Cai Baiwei were discussing this matter, but when they arrived at the inn, they saw Zhu Zhiye, Wu Yue, and Wu Muning sitting in the hall with bitter faces.

"Morning everyone."

Hua Rujin didn't know what happened, and after ordering Cai Baiwei to go to the kitchen, she walked up to greet her politely.

But several people were muffled and did not answer.

"What happened here?"

Hua Rujin suddenly realized that something was wrong, and asked cautiously.

"It's not something you can inquire about."

Wu Muning glanced at her angrily.

Wu Yue also looked at His Royal Highness Ning Wang in a little bewilderment. Because he knew the name of this woman, he wanted to ask His Highness what he meant and to ask this Miss Hua family for help.

Zhu Zhiye looked around and saw that there was no outsider in the house, so he said truthfully: "The official seal of Wu Zhi County has been lost?"

"The official seal is lost?"

Hua Rujin was surprised.

That is a serious crime, and if you can't find it, you are afraid that you will be dismissed, which is inevitable.

Suddenly, he felt a little sympathetic to the new county magistrate, who was much more unlucky than Zhuangyuanlang.

At any rate, he stayed in office for a few months.

"Could it have been accidentally lost on the road?"

Hua Rujin asked.

"impossible."

Wu Yue shook his head: "I saw the official seal by my side when I fell asleep last night, but when I woke up this morning, I found that the official seal was gone."

"That's a thief."

Hua Rujin felt that the magistrate of Xin County was too careless, and his official seal could be stolen.

"Who is so bold?"

Zhu Zhiye once again raised the question from yesterday: "Someone wanted to assassinate me when I first arrived in Jiangling City, how dare someone steal the official seal of Wuzhi County now?"

"Is there a possibility that these assassins and those who stole the official seal came for Wuzhi County?"

Hua Rujin boldly guessed.

According to what King Ning said yesterday, he did not participate in the court affairs in Beijing, so even if it involved party disputes, those princes in Beijing would not harm him.

The crime of assassinating the prince is not a small crime.

In this way, it is even more impossible for others to do such extreme things.

After hearing her analysis, Wu Muning also began to notice: "Your Highness, elder brother, don't talk about it, there is some truth in what the black-hearted shopkeeper said. It is well known that elder brother was appointed to Jiangling City, but Your Highness is walking with me." Not many people know about it, even King Yun and King Fu don't know, presumably it's really just for big brother."

The more Zhu Zhiye listened, the more reasonable he was, at best he was just a playboy, even if he came to Jiangling City, he wouldn't be in the way of anyone's affairs, and he had no enemies, assassins wouldn't be able to harm him.

"It seems that some people are afraid that Brother Wu will be appointed to Jiangling City."

Zhu Zhiye had just come to a conclusion, but he felt something was wrong: "It stands to reason that Brother Wu just came out to practice and practice. Why would anyone be afraid of a small county magistrate?"

After all, he is not Ye Chengwei, he does not have a special mission on his body, so there will not be so many people guarding against him, and his father does not underestimate his hair, but it is because of the face of the Wu family that he has given a shadow seal up.

"Perhaps some people think that Wu Zhixian came to block other people's way."

A person gradually appeared in Hua Rujin's mind.

She remembered that Tang Haoran, the magistrate of the county, was also a party member of King Yun when he was in Jiangling City, but this person came from a humble background and only had the reputation of a scholar, so when he was promoted, he was only the second in command of Jiangling City, with a little bit of professionalism. There was no promotion in ten years.

If Ye Chengwei hadn't released Jiangling City, this person should be the new magistrate of Jiangling City.

Wu Muning is smart, and immediately understood who she was referring to, excitedly said: "Shopkeeper Black Heart, you are talking about the magistrate Tang Haoran?"

"Exactly."

Hua Rujin smiled and said: "Miss Wu is really smart, she can steal official seals in the heavily guarded county government, who else has such ability except insiders."

Wu Yue also seemed to have thought of something: "When Tang Haoran came to see me yesterday, I felt sneaky. I'm afraid he has been planning on this for a long time."

Zhu Zhiye was so angry that he slapped the table fiercely: "It's really audacious, I'll send someone to catch him right now."

"This is just speculation and has no real evidence."

Although Wu Muning agreed with Hua Rujin's statement, she did not agree with King Ning's proposition, and quickly stopped her: "Your Highness, if he did not do this, wouldn't he be wronging a good man."

"It's not him who else can have."

Zhu Zhiye is now certain that Tang Haoran did this.

"Since His Highness is sure that the county magistrate did it, I have a way to make him appear."

Hua Rujin had an idea, and immediately had an idea.

Seeing her swearing appearance, the three of them immediately came together.

Hua Rujin whispered in front of several people, and the three of them smiled knowingly when they heard it, and nodded repeatedly: "It's really a good idea."

That night, when everyone was sleeping soundly, the county government suddenly ignited a raging fire, and there were endless calls for help.

Wu Yue hurriedly took some important things and ran out of the inner room. When he arrived in the courtyard, he saw a group of people carrying buckets and wooden basins full of water to put out the fire.

"Sir, are you alright?"

County magistrate Tang Haoran looked at the new magistrate who came out of the smoky inner hall, and hurriedly asked.

"It's okay, it's okay."

Wu Yue looked around and saw that Lu Xiuyuan, the Dian Shi, was leading people in to put out the fire, and then handed over the official seal box to Tang Haoran: "Master Xiancheng is old, so you don't have to suffer with us, rest here for a while, there are still some people in this county. The valuables are in the room, I'll see if I can go in and get some back, please trouble the county magistrate to keep the official seal for me temporarily."

Not allowing him to comment, Wu Yue forced the official seal box into his hand, and rushed into the flames in the blink of an eye.

Tang Haoran watched the magistrate disappear into his eyes, but gradually frowned, his whole face was as ugly as a bitter melon.

After thinking over and over again, he quickly disappeared into the courtyard while taking advantage of the chaotic crowd.

There was a lot of noise in the yard, and the fire was quickly brought under control. After Wu Yue ordered the crowd to disperse, Tang Haoran walked up unhurriedly, and handed the official seal box back to him, not forgetting to say: "My lord, please keep it safe."

It’s not easy for Wu Yue to open the box to check it. If it’s empty, everyone will be embarrassed, so he had to open a small gap to look at it secretly. What shocked him was that the original official seal in the empty box was still intact. back.

The two looked at each other and smiled lightly.

Wu Yue cupped his hands with a smile on his face and said, "It's really Mrs. Lao County."

"Your Excellency is very polite. Your Excellency is sympathetic to this official. It is just a matter of raising your hands. Since your Excellency is safe, I will leave."

After Tang Haoran pretended to be nonchalant and said goodbye to him, he left in a hurry.

After waiting for this person to leave, Hua Rujin, King Ning, and Wu Muning who were hiding in the darkness came out.

The official seal was lost and recovered, and everyone was happy, but also full of confusion.

"Silly girl, since Tang Haoran stole this official seal, why not just take him down?"

King Ning asked puzzledly.

Hua Rujin smiled, and did not rush to speak. She glanced at the burnt county government office and made a gesture of invitation: "Please move to the inn to talk."
