Wu Chao: Take the whole family to escape the famine

Chapter 210 There is no night king in the Great Zhou Kingdom, and there has never been a night princess.

Back at the inn next to the yamen, after introducing Zhang Neng to Shopkeeper Bai, Shopkeeper Bai breathed a sigh of relief.

It seems that this girl's man is saved, and God has a good eye. This case can be so taken seriously by the police.

"Let's go see the county magistrate first." Zhang Neng went straight to the county office.

"Who are you? How dare you barge into the county office?" Seeing Zhang Neng's imposing manner, the master didn't dare to speak seriously, his eyes kept looking at Zhang Neng, and he couldn't figure out where he came from.

"Call County Magistrate Lin out." Zhang Neng directly showed the token of Lord Xunkan, and the master changed his face when he saw it, and hurriedly went to the back hall to invite County Magistrate Lin.

County magistrate Lin quickly put on his clothes, with a flustered look on his face.

"I've met Mr. Zhang." He hastily saluted Zhang Neng with respect.

Then he greeted Zhang Neng, Shen Yu'an, and shopkeeper Bai to sit down, "Master Zhang, what instructions does Mr. Xunkan have?" The Xunkan just passed through Wantian County and went to Lingzhou City, so I don't know who dared to alarm him .

Thinking about it, the magistrate pulled the corner of his mouth and glanced at Shen Yuan and Shopkeeper Bai.

He doesn't know Shen Yu'an, but can he not recognize shopkeeper Bai? He's an office worker in the yamen, and I don't know which case he got involved in.

Without beating around the bush, Zhang Neng said directly, "Is there a suspect named Ji Xun in your death cell?"

"Yes." Magistrate Lin nodded.

"Ji Xun's case needs a thorough investigation, so I'll take over. Take me to see him."

"You took over? I'm afraid it's not good?"

"Isn't it good? Why don't you take off the black hat of County Magistrate Lin?"

County Magistrate Lin's face changed drastically, and he hurriedly said: "Although this matter is the official job of the subordinate, since the inspector has sent Mr. Zhang here, let Mr. Zhang handle this case."

Zhang Neng corrected coldly: "Magistrate Lin is wrong. It is not a trial, but a thorough investigation. Until I thoroughly investigate this case, Ji Xun will be under my care."

"Well, how can this work? That's a murder suspect."

"It seems that County Magistrate Lin is unwilling to hand over the case to me?"

"How would you dare to be a subordinate?"

"Since you don't dare, then don't worry about it. Are you afraid that I won't be able to let the suspect go?"

"The subordinate dare not think so."

"That's fine, take me to see Ji Xun."

"Yes, please come with me." Magistrate Lin respectfully took Zhang Neng to the death row.

After they left, shopkeeper Bai looked at Shen Yu'an: "Shen girl, you are amazing, how did you convince Mr. Patrolman to take over the case?"

Shen Yu'an was also at a loss. She wanted to bribe the jade pendant, but it was confiscated. Is it a pity? Ji Xun's character exploded?
Shen Yuan spread his hands, noncommittal.

Shopkeeper Bai saw that she couldn't answer why, so he stopped asking, and the two of them drank tea and waited in the lobby.

County magistrate Lin brought Zhang Neng to the death row.

"You wait outside." Zhang Neng ordered directly, without any politeness.

County magistrate Lin is also very angry. It's unlucky for the inspector to meddle in his own territory.

Forget it, the reason why he wanted to close this case earlier was to save a little money and increase the detection rate a little, and he didn't want to waste time and trouble.

Now the inspector has to send someone to make a fuss, so let him do it, but if you want him to allocate public funds, don't even think about it.

County Magistrate Lin exited the death row and waited outside the cell.

Zhang Neng went straight to the door of the cell, and was also very surprised to see a familiar figure sitting against the wall inside.

"His Royal Highness the Night King." Zhang Neng shouted softly, looking at the dirty cell.

It seems that His Highness has been hit so hard that his heart is ashamed, and he doesn't care about himself anymore. Otherwise, how could he, who is obsessed with cleanliness, be able to stay here?
Ji Xun also recognized Zhang Neng, and asked blankly, "Why are you here? King Xuan asked you to come?"

"No." Zhang Neng shook his head, "It was Princess Ye who risked her life to stop King Xuan's carriage, and complained for you."

"Concubine Ye?" Ji Xun's eyes suddenly changed, and anger surged in his eyes, "There is no Night King in the Great Zhou Kingdom, and there has never been a Night Concubine."

His voice was terribly cold, as if the surrounding air had suddenly cooled down, and the deep-seated hatred radiated from every inch of his body, making one's heart tremble.

"Sorry, I offended Your Highness." Zhang Neng hurriedly lowered his head. Although the once fearsome God of War of the Great Zhou Kingdom has now retired to the countryside, his momentum remains undiminished.

After a long while, Ji Xun calmed down: "Her name is Shen Yuan, and she is the daughter of a benefactor of mine. I will just protect her for now." Zhang Neng was taken aback by Ji Xun's behavior just now, thinking that he would gradually forget everything .

That vicious woman broke his hamstrings and tried to kill him with poison on his sword. Who can understand the pain that has never tasted it?
Xia Luoluo, the princess of the Great Qi Kingdom, was a nightmare that he hated so much!
"Miss Yu'an is very worried about you, and she is trying her best to save you. You should get away first, so as not to worry about others." Ji Xun narrowed his eyes, and a bright smiling face appeared in front of Shen Yu'an.

Maybe she was really worried about him and needed him, but after going through that kind of murder, it was hard for him to trust others easily.Ji Xun's heart hardened again.

"Does Your Highness want to go back to Beijing?" Zhang Neng asked.

"I don't want to." Ji Xun answered very positively. His legs are crippled, he can't even go to the battlefield, and he may die at any time due to the strange poison in his body.

"Then His Highness definitely doesn't want to reveal his identity?"

"Yes." It was precisely because he didn't want to be exposed that he didn't show the tiger amulet of Chi Yanying, otherwise he could be released from prison at any time.

Zhang Neng was silent, and said, "Don't worry, Your Highness, I have taken over your case, and I will definitely investigate this murder case to the bottom and return your innocence." Since His Highness still doesn't want to restore his identity, he can't force him.

"That troubles you." Ji Xun returned to his indifferent look, and he didn't know whether he had lost hope in the world or in himself.

"Then please come with me, Your Highness, and don't have to stay in this filthy place."

Hearing the word filth, Ji Xun woke up from his confusion. He has a cleanliness habit, but he put himself in such a filthy place to torture himself, so he felt that he was still alive.

After waking up at this moment, I felt that it was really unbearable.

So he stood up and followed Zhang Neng out.

"He's a suspect. How can Mr. Zhang not put him in shackles?" Zhang Neng glared at him, and County Magistrate Lin immediately shut up.

Seeing Ji Xun coming out behind Zhang Neng, Shen Yu'an's nose sore, and he ran over to hug him, his eyes full of determination.

"Don't worry, Ah Xun, I will definitely investigate this case and clear your grievances, so that you and Ah Xun can reunite as soon as possible."

Ji Xun looked as indifferent and calm as before: "I said I'm fine, you don't have to worry about me."

"You still say it's okay? Look at your dirty body? Your hair is also messed up." Shen Yuan raised his hand to remove the straw stuck in his hair root, feeling a faint heartache.
