After rebirth, the prince and husband's personality collapsed

Furthermore, the reason for rushing to start the trial is to catch them off guard. Otherwise, the beauty tax case will never be solved so quickly. However, she does not have much evidence yet about the private local official tax.

The two were talking when Shen Sishi, who was outside, suddenly knocked on the door and came in: "Master, Aunt Zhang and her daughter came to thank you and said they must meet you."

When Shen Yunchu heard the words, he was still a little hesitant. Shen Qingyue on the side said: "Let them come in, just have a chat."

"Yes." Shen Sishi responded, then turned around and went out to invite him.

Watching Shen Sishi leave, Shen Yunchu hesitated again and again, but finally did not stop him. Shen Qingyue said: "You, don't think too much. When they see you, they just want to thank you. It's not a big deal."

Shen Yunchu smiled and said nothing.

Not long after, Aunt Zhang came in with her little daughter. Without saying a word, she knelt down with a bang. Shen Yunchu stood up suddenly in fright, and hurriedly helped the mother and daughter up with Shen Qingyue.

Aunt Zhang held her daughter's hand tightly and burst into tears: "Thank you Master Shen for your kindness in reincarnation. We, mother and daughter, are grateful. Even if we go through fire and water in the future, we will repay your kindness."

"Aunt Zhang, please don't say that." Shen Yunchu helped her up and said hurriedly: "As an official of the Central Government, this is what I should do. It's not a favor to be reborn, but please don't do this."

Listening to Shen Yunchu's words, Aunt Zhang was so excited that she could hardly speak. She only wiped away tears. The two comforted the mother and daughter. After handling the county government affairs, it was almost dark.

Chen Hao took the people back to the military camp first, and Shen Qingyue accompanied Shen Yunchu to stay temporarily in the county government office.

After dinner, Shen Yunchu went to the county government's archives and looked through the cases that Wu Yong had handled in the past few years since he took office. According to Wu Yong's incomprehensible nature, it is estimated that there are many unjust cases.

However, she shouldn't have to worry about any of this. After the new magistrate sent from above takes over the affairs here, she will leave and concentrate on investigating the rebellion.

She just thought that if she could find anything related to the private collection of local government taxes, it could be used as a clue.

Unknowingly, the sky gradually darkened. Linlang had lit the candles in the archives room early. When he came in to take a look, it was almost late at night, but Shen Yunchu seemed to have no intention of sleeping.

"Miss, please rest early." Linlang said helplessly. Although she knew that her persuasion would be of no use, for the sake of her health, she still had to give her some persuasion.

Even though she was like this, when she started doing things, she was just concerned about the world. She had to create something before she would accept the work that Fang Xi was doing.

Sure enough, as Linlang expected, after listening to her words, Shen Yunchu just responded lightly: "Yeah, okay, I know."

Linlang had no choice but to put the things in her hands in front of her: "If you really want to watch it, miss, you should drink something to warm yourself up before watching it."

Shen Yunchu nodded and said ok, but his eyes never looked up from the file in his hand.

Linlang was feeling helpless when suddenly there was a rush of footsteps outside. Only then did Shen Yunchu realize something. He suddenly raised his head and saw Shen Sisi entering the door in a hurry: "Wu Yong, he's dead." ."

When Shen Yunchu led people to rush over, Bai Yuheng had already led people to transport the body out. Seeing her coming, their eyes met, and their expressions were a little solemn.

Bai Yuheng naturally knew the reason for her coming, and said simply and clearly: "Those who die after taking poison will have red crowns." Shen Yunchu looked at the person lying on the ground and looked around from head to toe. He saw that the person on the ground had a purple complexion and seven holes. The bleeding and tragic death were obviously more than just a poison.

After a long while, Shen Yunchu turned to the government officer beside him: "Where did the poison come from? Wasn't he searched before being imprisoned? Or did anyone come in to visit?"

Faced with these questions, everyone shook their heads in unison, confirming that there was a body search, and it had only been half a day, and no one had come to visit the prison.

That's strange. This poison couldn't have appeared for no reason. Someone had always done it deliberately.

When Shen Yunchu was thinking about it and was puzzled, Bai Yuheng gently pulled her arm, as if to comfort her, and said: "The person is dead. When it is announced tomorrow, the new county magistrate will take over the case. , don’t worry too much.”

Hearing this, Shen Yunchu slowly came back to her senses. It was true what she said. The beauty tax matter had been resolved. When the new county magistrate took office, she would try her best to investigate the unrest in Belvedere and let its leader show up for negotiations as soon as possible. .

On the way back to the room, Shen Yunchu was puzzled about this matter. He couldn't figure out whether Wu Yong committed suicide out of fear of crime or whether someone wanted to kill someone to silence him.

But if someone wants to kill someone and silence them, how is the poison delivered? How can we guarantee that Wu Yong will definitely eat it?

With a series of doubts, Shen Yunchu was always tossing and turning, unable to fall asleep. She was still tossing and turning on the bed when she saw that a trace of fish belly white was already visible on the horizon.

Suddenly, there was a sound of pebbles being thrown into the house from the direction of the window, and the sound of "plop" falling on the floor. The trace of sleepiness that Shen Yunchu had just brewed disappeared in an instant.

She subconsciously sat up, almost concentrating on listening to the sounds around her, but except for the crisp sound of pebbles falling to the ground, there was no other movement.

The surroundings were extremely quiet, with only a little faint light coming in from the open windows. Everything looked so quiet and beautiful.

After a moment of silence, Shen Yunchu finally lifted the quilt and got out of bed. He cautiously moved toward the window to check for any noise. He stuck his head out and glanced at the empty floor-to-ceiling window. A stone half the size of a fist was wrapped in paper on the floor. Lie still.

what is that?

She frowned and instantly became more vigilant. After confirming that there were no threats around her, she slowly approached, picked up the stone on the ground, and opened the note. She saw it read: "If you want to know the truth about Wu Yong's suicide, San See you later at Qiujing Temple outside the city."

Qiu Jing Temple...

Shen Yunchu looked at the unfamiliar handwriting in her hand and became more and more confused. She was very sure that she had never seen such words before, and the person on the other end must be someone she didn't know.

But who is it? Is it a prank? Or did someone really see it? If it was true, why did he ask her to meet at a temple outside the city?

As she was thinking, suddenly, a black shadow suddenly fell down. She was startled, and instinctively wanted to call someone, but a big hand suddenly covered her mouth, and then her whole body was surrounded and forced to the wall. Her back was pressed against the cold wall, a familiar smell enveloped her, and a shadow fell in front of her eyes. She was shocked to realize that it was Bai Yuheng.

He put one hand around her in his arms, covered her with his whole body, and pressed her firmly against the wall, so that the two of them stuck together tightly.

He turned back and looked at the courtyard wall warily, as if he was wary of something. Shen Yunchu's eyes moved slightly and also focused on the wall.
