Chapter 41: Inciting evil
"Madam fainted again at the gate. She is really not in good health. She faints at every turn."

Ba Liang took a walk outside and came back with a look full of gloating, "It was Niu Erji's mother who came to ask for compensation. She made a huge quarrel in front of the house."

"That old woman is so powerful that even three or five roughnecks couldn't hold her back. She was seeking death and survival in front of the house, but Madam couldn't do anything to her."

"The two adults from the Demon Suppression Department were watching and advising for a few words, and now they have been invited by the master to go to the back hall to talk."

"Then Yu Pianpian has not come out since she returned to her own courtyard. It seems that she is not planning to go to the madam to complain? I think this is a bit strange." Ba Liang said with a smile, "But I think so, the madam is still fainting in bed at the moment, and she is also I can’t find anyone to cry to.”

Jiu Jin couldn't help but smile and shake his head, "This fake daughter doesn't look like someone who gives in easily. I think she will continue to be a monster."

Yu Linlang was playing with her precious flowers and plants in front of the window, without raising her head when she heard the sound, "If the case is related to the Niu family, Mr. Chen might persuade Governor Yu to keep him."

At the same time, Jade Governor was walking back and forth in the flower hall with his hands behind his back, barely suppressing the anger in his heart.

"Leave people in my house temporarily? This is absolutely unacceptable!"

"Such an arrogant and domineering old woman has made my wife angry. Do I want to keep her in the house? Master Chen, do you think I have nothing to do?"

"Master Jade, please listen to my explanation." Chen Buyu was not worried and could only talk to him in a good voice, "Based on the current case, it is very likely that he is seeking revenge."

"I told you last time that I was seeking revenge, but you still didn't believe me! The murderer was clearly targeting their Niu family. The managers in our house are also confused, and they didn't investigate the situation clearly before hiring someone."

After picking and choosing, a pair of troublemakers were found, which caused no peace in the governor's house.

"The official has sent someone to inquire about the situation of this Niu family. There are only two brothers in his family. His mother, Aunt Niu, has a strong personality and usually has a very bad relationship with her neighbors."

"Small frictions often occur, but if it escalates to the point of killing, even the folks in the countryside can't do it."

Jade Governor turned around solemnly, "You mean the murderer is not a relative of the Niu family?"

"When we found Aunt Niu on Chengdong Street, we also met a suspicious person. We sent people to chase him for half the street, but we didn't catch him."

Jade Governor perked up and said, "A person who can't even be caught up by your Demon Suppression Division is not a demon. Sure enough, he is not a man-made crime!"

Chen Buyu put down his tea cup and interrupted, "Lord Governor, have you ever thought that the murderer is probably a master of martial arts?"

"So? This old woman is very dangerous now?" Jade Governor paced back and forth in the hall, "Master Chen, this old woman is making trouble at the door of my house, but what do you mean?"

Mr. Chen looked helpless, "How could a lower official do such a thing? In fact, there is nothing we can do. This Aunt Niu feels that her son and daughter-in-law died in your house, and she must seek an explanation from you."

"The current situation is like this." Mr. Chen took some time to look at Jade Governor, "I suggest that since the murderer's next target is most likely to be this Aunt Niu, why not put her under our noses in the Governor's Mansion and protect her .”

"If we can lure the murderer out of the darkness, everyone will be even more happy. What do you think, Lord Governor?"

Of course the governor was unhappy.

"You want to lure the murderer out of my house? Then how can we ensure the safety of so many female relatives in my house?"

"If the governor's office in Weizhou City is not safe, then where can we find a safer place?" Chen Buyu replied slowly, "This is also for handling a case, so the governor must not shirk it."

"Or is it that the Governor wants me to trouble the Crown Prince again?"

Jade Governor was very depressed.

Thinking that the prince had talked to him in private before and specifically told him that he would try his best to help Mr. Chen solve the case as soon as possible, he felt extremely aggrieved.

The house was a mess inside, and it was even more hectic outside.

Nowadays, more than a dozen hungry people are falling ill outside the city every day, and the situation is quite bad.

Experienced doctors even concluded that if the situation continues like this and fails to improve, an epidemic is likely to occur.

This made the governor very worried. Disease! That's no joke.

"Master Jade?"

You have to solve one thing, and you can't put yourself in a situation where both ends are busy.

Jade Governor gritted his teeth, "Okay!"

……

That night, after washing up, Yu Linlang sat by the makeup mirror and flipped through a medical book carelessly.

Ba Liang Jiujin made the bed for her and called her softly, "Girl, don't let the dim candlelight hurt your eyes. It's getting late, go get some rest."

Yu Linlang nodded, "Did the medicinal materials arrive today?"

Ba Liang hummed, "It's here. Together with the rice grain, it will be temporarily placed in the warehouse in the south of the city."

"Go and ask the doctors from Huichun Hall to come over tomorrow. Give them the medicinal materials we brought for processing."

"They have stayed in Weizhou City for a long time and know where to find reliable female workers. Let them help find some hard-working women. I will tell them to do something."

"Okay!" The two girls didn't ask what was going on. Anyway, the girl's instructions were correct.

The two of them agreed, tidied up the bed, and left.

Not long after Yu Linlang lay down, she heard a rustling sound coming from the eaves.

She sat up in the darkness and stared toward the window with bright eyes.

Soon, the main courtyard was brightly lit and filled with people.

Yu Linlang quickly dressed up, and as soon as she opened the door, she saw two people weighing two to nine pounds rushing to her side.

"Something happened in the main courtyard." Ba Liang gasped, "I just went over and took a look around. Someone sneaked into the Governor's Mansion and went to Mrs. Niu."

"Now Master Chen and Governor Yu have been alerted, and are leading people around the house to hunt for assassins."

Yu Linlang raised her eyebrows, "Is Chen Buyu staying here today?"

"Yeah, I said I wanted to stay in the house to help and see if Aunt Niu can lure the murderer out." Ba Liang grinned, "It turns out the murderer seems to be here, but they don't seem to have caught anyone."

The master and the servant took three small benches and sat at the door, each grabbing a handful of peanuts.

"I don't know how long the trouble will last."

Yu Qiuping from the opposite door also came out to take a look. Seeing them sitting in rows at the door, she nodded with a smile and went in again.

"The young lady seems to be a little more pleasing to my eyes lately." Jiujin peeled the peanuts and threw them into his mouth.

Suddenly, a crisp sound was heard on the roof.

The three of them looked up and saw a dark, broad figure, carrying a sack and running quickly across the roof and into the distance.

Lanterns and torches accompanied by noisy voices came to Magnolia Courtyard.

Jade Governor led a group of people with disheveled hair and strode through the door, and the guards rushed in to look around.
