Chapter 115 Do you believe in demons?

Wu Yong received the news quickly and hurried to the gate of Nancheng with a group of servants to greet him.

"Lord Chitu came all the way through the starry night. Did something important happen?"

The woman in red looked at him condescendingly, "Where are Chen Buyu and Wei Ling?"

"The two adults set off for Wuhu County early this morning before dawn."

The woman in red nodded indifferently, "Take me to see your Jade Governor."

"Yes!" Seeing the serious look on the woman's face, it seemed like something big had happened. Wu Yong didn't dare to neglect, so he hurriedly asked someone to bring the horse over and led them to the Governor's Yamen.

At the same time, in the Wuhu County Government Office, the county magistrate carefully led the county chief clerk and his party to personally help search for the case files.

Seeing Chen Buyu and Wei Ling's expression getting more and more ugly, the group of people looked through the case files with their heads covered, almost not daring to raise their heads.

"Master Chen, look at this." Wei Ling held a case file that was about to fall apart. She flipped through two pages of torn paper and clicked on a few lines.

Chen Buyu looked at him solemnly for a few times and nodded, "It seems he is right. We have to return to the city as soon as possible."

Wei Ling packed up several relevant case files, glanced at the county officials with cold eyes, and couldn't help but said angrily, "Your case file management is too... lax and slack!"

"Look at these case files over the years. How rotten are some of them? How are they kept? Even if they are bound into a volume, they are in such tatters. Those case files with papers flying everywhere are even more unreadable!"

"It's just because the Ministry of Punishments did not pick up Qinmen County in the random inspection, that's why it happened like this! It seems that after we return to Beijing, we have to mention your county to Gong Shangshu." Wei Ling said coldly and solemnly, "Let them spend tens of millions of dollars Don’t neglect laissez-faire management just because the county is small!”

The county magistrate had a cold sweat on his forehead. After accusing him repeatedly, he led the county chief clerk and others to send the two people out of the Yamen in a hurry.

The county magistrate shrank his neck and stepped forward, "Sir, what should we do? I don't think Mr. Wei is joking."

The county magistrate's expression darkened for a moment, "The Demon Suppression Division's hand is too long!"

"I heard from the superiors! Recently, His Majesty appointed Lord Ximen Bugui, the commander of the Demon Suppression Division, to join the cabinet, so I am afraid that the Demon Suppression Division is about to revolt!"

"This is unreasonable!" The county magistrate was so angry that he said, "Every time you come back, you come back again. Why do you have trouble with our Wuhu County government office?"

"Sir, do you think it's because the demons have risen up and caused trouble again recently? Otherwise, why was the Demon Suppression Department re-employed by the higher-ups after being dormant for more than three years?"

"Who knows this? Wasn't it because the chief judge disappeared unexpectedly that the entire Demon Suppression Department was in a semi-disbanded state?"

The county magistrate looked surprised, stepped forward and lowered his voice, "Could it be that the chief judge is back?"

"No way." The junior official looked surprised. "It is said that the chief judge was besieged by many demons in Qiong Mountain and died together with them before disappearing."

"You believe this too." The county magistrate snorted coldly, "Has anyone seen any demons in this world? Anyway, I haven't seen one. Their Demon Suppression Department said there are demons if they exist? I think they deliberately created a gimmick. .”

"Now in order to deceive His Majesty's trust again, I guess some extraordinary means have been used."

"Sir, what should we do now?"

The county magistrate looked angry, "What else can we do? Of course we need to send more people to sort out the records as soon as possible! Is it possible that we have to wait for the higher-ups to investigate and then rush to sort them out?"

The county magistrate sneered, with disdain on his face, "Those female officials are trouble."

"Don't be disdainful. I'm telling you, Mr. Wei is still above you and me in terms of official positions." The county magistrate rolled his sleeves angrily, "Go back and clean up, and sort out the records for me as soon as possible in the next few days. All the people in the yamen Those officers should be warned if they should, and don’t go out and cause trouble for me every day!”

The carriage swayed to the bank of Yingyue Lake, and it was almost noon. Yu Linlang got out of the car and saw Xu Donglan leading Ying'er.

"I'm not late, am I?"

"No, the time is just right, and I just arrived." Xu Donglan greeted her with a smile on her face, pointing to a few ships on the shore, "Come on, let's go there."

"We took a boat to the island in the middle of the lake to enjoy plum blossoms. The scenery along the way was pretty good. Let's go on the boat to have a look."

The two walked to a painting boat and met Li Yu and his party.

Xu Donglan subconsciously leaned closer to Yu Linlang, lowering her eyes slightly to suppress the cold emotion in her eyes.

Today, Li Yu is wearing a pink brocade winter coat, a goose-yellow skirt, an upturned bun, and her head is full of pearls and emeralds, as if they are under the rays of the sun. Apparently Miss Li has had a good rest these past two days and looks very good.

Behind her stood several girls she had met at Shuyun Academy.

One of them was rather unfamiliar, wearing a fragrant concubine-colored short jacket embroidered with bamboo patterns and a long skirt with a waist of the same color. She had a simple bun, with only a tassel hairpin on her head, without too many decorations.

But her temperament was soft and elegant, and she was not overwhelmed even when she was standing among the flowers.

"Donglan." Huang Shuangxi walked quickly from behind and greeted everyone with a smile, "Hey, you all arrived so early."

"Isn't this the eldest daughter of the Li family?" Huang Shuangxi looked at the woman in Xiangfei's colored dress with a surprised look on his face. He turned to Xu Donglan and said with a smile, "Let me introduce to you, this is Li Qing, the eldest daughter of the Prefecture Mufu. Big girl.”

"Oh, I'm not like some people who act like a peacock when they go out, attracting a bunch of miscellaneous fish and stars. This lady, who is a legitimate daughter, is really different from those who pretend to be."

"Huang Shuangxi, what did you say?" Although he didn't mention his name, Li Yu was still furious, and his face was indescribably ugly.

"Why, someone couldn't help but jump out and take a seat?" Huang Shuangxi shrugged with a smile.

Li Yu's face was full of anger, and he was comforted by several classmates around him.

What she hates the most is when others make fun of her as a concubine.

What happened to the concubine? Even though she wasn't born from her aunt's mother's womb, she was still the most favored second girl in the Prefectural Mufu!

So what if the eldest girl is a legitimate child?
The opportunity to study in Shuyun didn't fall to her, Li Yu!

This is the difference between being favored and not being favored!

Li Yu glanced coldly at Li Qing who was following him, who smiled faintly and nodded towards Huang Shuangxi.

Huang Shuangxi introduced everyone to each other, and then said with a cheerful face, "Let's get on the ship! Today's Meihui will be initiated by Miss Ge. Oh, by the way, some of you don't know Miss Ge yet, right?"

"She is a cousin of the royal family of Pingkang County. She just came to our Weizhou Mansion not long ago. She wants to get to know more female students from our Shuyun Academy."

"You don't need to say more, Miss Ge doesn't know anyone." Li Yu choked angrily, "I also heard that Prince Pingkang invited some students from Hengshan Academy to visit the island in the middle of the lake today."

"Some people should not rush into the prince and others rashly."

Xu Donglan gently pulled Yu Linlang and followed behind everyone.
