Chapter 168 Irony
As soon as these words came out, everyone present was shocked.

Except for the cold sweat on the master's forehead, everyone else looked at the coffin in surprise.

Perhaps it was Ye Qiu's bold contact with the children that convinced them that this would be slowly approaching, and their hearts were extremely complicated.

But when Guo Huairen heard these words, he heard many hidden secrets.

The look in Ye Qiu's eyes was even more profound and complicated.

Is she reminding herself that the doctors in the county can't be trusted?And if she said it with such certainty, she was not afraid that she had made a wrong diagnosis.

But seeing the little girl's calm and fearless appearance, Guo Huairen felt that she was not lying.

"Oh, that's right." Ye Qiu thought of something again, and added, "To put it mildly, the master next to your lord urged the burning of the corpse at first, then tried his best to prevent the opening of the coffin, and then repeatedly targeted me. From time to time, he has a strange look on his face, suggesting that the adults should be detained for investigation, and there may be different results."

Coming from him, the master's heartbeat began to speed up, and when he mentioned homicide, the blood all over his body was about to boil.

Ye Qiu, who had almost understood the law of blood changes over the years, felt the other party's nervousness almost instantly.

If it wasn't about him, why would he be nervous.

"No, my lord. This subordinate has been with you for at least ten years. My lord knows who it is. This little girl's words are clearly aimed at my subordinates. I hope my lord will not be fooled by her. This subordinate will definitely..."

Before he finished speaking, Ye Qiu uttered a 'tsk tsk', "No wonder you are so arrogant. You have been with the lord for ten years. But even if it is ten years, you are only a master after all, and it is never your turn to teach the lord how to do things." Well, I'm afraid the master has been domineering for a long time, thinking about things that shouldn't be, this is really scary."

The way she shook her head and talked was really funny, but the words that came out of her mouth made everyone hold their breath.

The yamen servants looked at Ye Qiu strangely, as if they wanted to say something, but they all remained silent.

Guo Huairen couldn't feel anything, he was usually busy with business, and most of the small government affairs were left to the master to handle. After Ye Qiu said this, he recalled something, and his face was also dignified.

"I have written down Miss Ye's words, but the case needs to pay attention to evidence. I will order a strict investigation of this matter and give a result as soon as possible. I wonder how long Miss Ye will stay in Hekou County?"

"About three days." Knowing what the other party meant, Ye Qiu took the initiative, "Minnv lives with her family in an inn by the river in the county, adults can go to Minnv whenever she needs, but Minnv will go back after three days gone."

Guo Huairen nodded thoughtfully, "I understand, it's getting late, Miss Ye, let's go back and rest first."

"My lord, this is unreasonable. You can't judge that it's not the plague just by what she said. What if..." The master is proud of Guo Huairen who didn't listen to a little girl and arrested him. How can he be willing to let her go.

"Okay, I will make my own decision on this matter, so you don't need to say more."

The yamen servants also asked now, "My lord, what about the coffin and the child?"

Guo Huairen glanced at it, and ordered, "The coffin and the child will be taken to the county government office. You find someone to go to the neighboring county to find some doctors. The sooner you move, the better."

The master said, "Why don't you go find it..."

"The master stayed in the yamen to accompany me to resolve the case. This matter is too strange. I'm afraid it will be difficult for me to handle it alone. I need the help of the master."

His tone was the same as usual, the master didn't hear any other meaning at all, he was a little proud and a little nervous, and finally nodded.

However, Ye Qiu noticed that the master was watching a certain yamen servant make some small movements, but she just pretended not to see it.

Guo Huairen is definitely not as stupid as he appears on the surface, he has already made up his mind about this matter, and she will not care about it later.

She carried the child back and explained, "Wipe the child's body with hot water and sprinkle some salt, and then wipe it with this bottle of medicine, and the effect will be seen the next day. In addition, the child probably hasn't eaten for a few days, my lord Remember to get someone to feed him some porridge, and don’t touch other food for now, he is too weak to bear it.”

Ye Qiu casually handed over a bottle of medicine, Guo Huairen took it, and gave her a curious look, "I've made a note of it."

"Then get busy, my lord. I was afraid that my family would be worried if I went back too late, so I left first."

After Ye Qiu finished speaking, he nodded to everyone and left.

When she was leaving, she still felt that her eyes fell on her back twice. She smiled and pretended not to know, and went down the mountain leisurely.

……

Ye Bai woke up in the morning and realized that she had overslept. When she woke up, not only was it daylight, but the young lady had already gotten up and was sitting in the room.

Remembering what he said to go to the mountain last night, Ye Bai looked annoyed, "Why didn't Miss call me?"

Ye Bai handed her a glass of warm water for her to drink, and then said, "Who said you didn't yell? You yelled several times, but it's a pity that you were too sound asleep and ignored me, so I had no choice but to go by myself."

"Ah, last night...was it really like this?" Ye Bai blushed even more when she heard that, and she didn't even dare to look at Ye Qiu.

So I don't know that the person who said this is smiling on his face, with a smile on his face.

Sure enough, Ye Bai was still worried, she believed everything she said, and after staying with her for a long time, she was really reluctant to send her away.

They lied to Ye Bai that the master would not go into the mountains during the day, so the two lingered until noon to eat at the inn, and then started walking around the county.

Ye Qiu said that he didn't care about the case, but deliberately asked about the location of the county government office and the county magistrate's information when he went around in circles.

Knowing Guo Huairen's name, he walked around the county government again, but he did hear some news.

The fact that the woman was killed by her seems to have been leaked, but the county government has not yet found the murderer, and at the same time it was reported that there was a plague in Hekou County.

After thinking about it for a while, Ye Qiu understood that this was done on purpose.

When she left, she glanced at the gate of the county government office, not knowing what Master Guo would do with it.

Ye Qiu really stayed in Hekou County for three days, going up the mountain every night, and then purposely left Ye Bai behind, and only bullied Ye Bai the next day, it was quite fun.

She doesn't deny that she has lived a long time and has more bad tastes than others, but she is quite comfortable living this way.

On the third day, the county government also didn't come out with any results, and Ye Qiu didn't plan to stay any longer, and planned to go back to see how her father's exams were going.

After paying the rent and bringing a bag of medicinal herbs that were actually picked out to deceive others, Ye Qiu found a carriage and prepared dry food. After packing up in the morning, he led Ye Bai away.

The car stopped when it was leaving the county gate, and the groom knocked on the window, "Girl, it seems that someone is looking for you."

Find me?

Ye Qiu didn't remember who else she knew in the county. She opened the curtain to look, but when she saw the man's clothes, she immediately understood, and said to Ye Bai, "Wait for me, I'll go down."

Ye Bai nodded, and didn't ask any further questions, but kept looking at the man in the yamen uniform.

He also only saw that person take a package with his own lady, and then saw Ye Qiu get into the carriage.

When the car left again, Ye Bai couldn't help asking, "Miss, who was that person just now?"

"The servant of the county government just came the day before yesterday and happened to do a little favor for their adults, so he gave me some snacks." There was also a piece of oil paper in the package, which contained twelve small and cute snacks, but it was a pity to look at them. It looks so good, even Ye Qiu can't eat it.
