Chapter 103

C103

"Intuition tells me that there must be a reason why the evil ghost would choose to kill a bailiff. If I were to follow this lead, I should be able to find out something!"

A hint of seriousness appeared in Yu Chi Ming's eyes: "Let's go out first!"

"Alright!" Xiao Mo Xin acknowledged and followed him out of the morgue.

"Three Prince s …" Luo Qing Jin who had been waiting outside for a long time immediately called out respectfully.

"Bring me a basin of water!"

"Huh?" Luo Qing Jin was startled, he thought he had heard wrongly.

Looking at his cute appearance, Xiao Mo Xin reminded him out of good intentions, "Prince just touched a corpse!"

After Luo Qing Jin heard this, he immediately ordered his master to fetch some water.

"Lord Luo! Could I trouble you to summon the yamen runners from Yamen into the hall? I have something that I want to ask them! " Xiao Mo Xin said.

Luo Qing Jin subconsciously looked at Yu Chi Ming, and seeing that he had tacitly agreed, he quickly turned around and went to gather the yamen runners.

Moments later …

In the main hall.

Xiao Mo Xin sized up the dozen or so yamen runners, and after thinking about it for a while, his gaze turned towards Luo Qing Jin and the Grand Master: "I'll trouble the two of you to avoid it first!"

"Yes sir!" Luo Qing Jin and the Master replied respectfully, and then left the hall one after the other.

They could tell that as long as she asked, the three Prince s would agree to it with 100% certainty. Therefore, this time, they did not need to ask the three Prince s for their opinion and tactfully left.

Xiao Mo Xin was a little tired from standing, he pulled out a chair and sat down, and immediately after, he ordered a dozen or so yamen runners: "Line up, and come over here one by one!"

When the bailiffs heard this, they quickly organized the team.

"First, come here!" Xiao Mo Xin waved his hand.

A bailiff around the age of thirty walked up quickly and greeted respectfully, "Sir!"

Xiao Mo Xin smiled and straightened his back.

An indulgent smile flashed past Yu Chi Ming's eyes.

"I'll ask you a few questions, you have to answer truthfully!"

"Sir, please ask!"

Xiao Mo Xin organized his thoughts and opened his mouth: "Before any yamen runners started to die, did Yamen commit any misdeeds or deliberately commit any misdeeds?"

When the bailiff heard this, his face immediately turned ugly: "Sir!" Isn't that a bit too much? "

"I'm only asking a routine question. You don't have to be nervous, just answer truthfully!" Xiao Mo Xin was naturally clear that his question was extremely sudden and obvious. Even if he asked them, he might not be able to get the answer to their question, but he would only be able to find clues in their words.

When the bailiff heard this, his complexion turned slightly better: "Our Lord Luo has always been impartial and disciplined. We will never make mistakes or make mistakes!"

Just and strict?

Strict self-discipline?

Xiao Mo Xin almost laughed out loud. With his unambitious, womanly personality, he was still strict and fair. If others knew this, wouldn't they lose their teeth in laughter?

I wonder if Luo Qing Jin himself would blush after hearing those words?

"Second question. Was there anyone who hated you yamen runners before?"

"This subordinate has spent all his time punishing and exterminating evil, and would more or less offend some people. However, if I have to find the person who hates this subordinate the most, this subordinate really can't think of anything for a while!"

"The third question …"

Xiao Mo Xin did not leave his side, and changed the way she asked the bailiffs their questions, and almost every bailiff seemed to have agreed on something beforehand. Not only did they answer his questions as if they had agreed beforehand, they even praised him to the heavens, causing her to have no choice but to suspect what Luo Qing Jin had said to them before they entered.

"Before the bailiffs started to stir up trouble, did the Yamen experience a situation where they were forced to submit? Or perhaps it could be said that the five dead constables had beaten up the same prisoner at the same time, and that the prisoner was now dead? " Facing the last bailiff, Xiao Mo Xin evidently had lost some of his patience.

The face of the young bailiff, who was about twenty years old, was slightly pale. A trace of panic could be seen flashing across his eyes.

Xiao Mo Xin placed his fingertips on the table and suddenly tensed up: "Speak! Do you know something? "

"This … this subordinate doesn't know anything. This subordinate really doesn't know anything …" The young bailiff nervously shook his head. However, there was an intangible panic on his face, which betrayed his truest thoughts.

Xiao Mo Xin's eyelids slightly narrowed: "You should be clear, if there really is someone seeking revenge, then the next person who dies would very likely be any one of you!"

When the young bailiff heard this, his face paled.

"Looking at your age, you should be old and young. If you are unlucky enough to be the next victim, have you thought about what to do with your wife and children?" Xiao Mo Xin threw out the fish, waiting for him to take the bait.

When the young bailiff heard this, he slowly lowered his eyelids and firmly shook his head. "Your subordinate doesn't know anything!"

Xiao Mo Xin frowned, wasn't this change in events a little too big?

If a normal person knew something, they would definitely do everything they could to protect their wife and children. However, when she mentioned his wife and children, it only increased his determination to deny. Was there a hidden reason behind this?

Once he recognized her, Xiao Mo Xin started to think.

"Since you're unwilling to speak, then I don't need to waste my breath. You can leave!"

"Yes sir!" The young bailiff responded, bowed his head, and quickly left the main hall.

Mo Zi Xuan looked at the young bailiff's back as if he thought of something. When he disappeared around the corner, he said, "Look at him, he seems to know something!"

"But unfortunately, he doesn't dare to say it!"

Mo Zi Xuan took note of her words. "Do you mean that someone is threatening him?"

"It's pure speculation!" Xiao Mo Xin stood up, and looked at Yu Chi Ming who was walking in front of her: "Is our trip north tight?"

"If you want to know, then do it!"

Xiao Mo Xin raised his eyebrows, obviously surprised by his straightforward reply.

"As citizens of the Northern Shang Dynasty, it is the duty of the This King to protect their personal safety and to account for the dead!" Yu Chi Ming said in a heavy voice.

Xiao Mo Xin raised his hand, patted his shoulder, and teased: "I didn't know that under this ice-cold exterior of yours, you still hid a fiery heart!"

"Pfft!" Mo Zi Xuan couldn't help but burst out laughing.

Yu Chi Ming shot his cold eyes over.

Mo Zi Xuan felt his scalp go numb, and laughed dryly: "About that … It seems like it's almost noon. Shouldn't we return to the inn to eat something? "

"How did This King not know when you became a glutton?" Yu Chi Ming's thin lips slightly opened, and within her clear and cold voice, there was a faint sense of ridicule.

"…" Mo Zi Xuan, did he really change the topic to something especially stupid?

Xiao Mo Xin looked at the sky outside and realized that it was almost noon. He touched his stomach that he had neglected: "My stomach is a little hungry, let's go back to the tavern!"

"Alright!" Yu Chi Ming.

"…" Mo Zi Xuan.

Wasn't the difference a little too great?
