Qi Anze looked at the upright face in the portrait and said hesitantly,

"Are you sure you read that correctly?"

"There is no mistake. The corners of his mouth are like this, pointing downwards, and his eyes are like this, pointing upwards. They are particularly ugly."

Qiao Xi gestured seriously, fearing that Qi Anze wouldn't believe her.

"A censor of the Inspectorate actually made such a mistake."

"Why can't the censor of the Inspectorate make mistakes?" Qiao Xi asked doubtfully.

"..."

"Yes, as long as we are human, we will make mistakes. It's just a matter of whether the temptation is strong or not." Qi Anze sighed a little.

It was originally a position to supervise others not to make mistakes, but it has become a convenience for some bad people.

"By the way, I also saw a person." Qiao Xi said with a strange expression, remembering what the person said.

"who."

"The young master next to Magistrate Wen."

"This is definitely mutual protection and everyone has a share. It's not surprising." Qi Anze didn't take it seriously.

“But he called Wen County Magistrate—Dad.

According to the records in the book, Magistrate Wen only has a son who is thirteen or fourteen years old, and the others are daughters."

"He was able to give birth to such a big son, maybe he was born from an outside wife." Qi Anze explained.

"Can father and son be officials in the same county government?"

"Master is not an official title, there is nothing wrong with it."

Seeing that all his speculations were rejected one by one, Qiao Xi was a little discouraged and said casually with his chin, "Would he kill the previous master in order to make his son a master?"

Qi Anze's eyes lit up after her reminder.

"It's not necessary to work for ten taels of silver a month...but it is very necessary if this master not only does not collude with them but also has evidence of their crimes and tries to report them."

"And he should be talking about more than just this censor." Qiao Xi added.

"But Magistrate Wen has not said a word other than crying injustice."

"You just said that the master is called Magistrate Wen," Qi Anze paused for a moment and walked out, "Let's go to interrogate Magistrate Wen's wife."

Qiao Xi put her small bag on her back and said "Ah" in confusion.

Shouldn't I ask Magistrate Wen at this time?

…

After listening to County Magistrate Wen's wife, Qiao Xi pieced together this bloody story.

A face-saving, heartless man joined the army after getting married in his hometown. In order to marry his boss's daughter, he lied about not having a family.

As a result, twenty years later, the son came to find him. The wife was afraid of affecting his career, so she reluctantly took him back and found a job for this reckless illegitimate son.

And he knew nothing about Magistrate Wen.

After verifying the master's identity, they then interrogated Magistrate Wen.

Qiao Xi: "Mr. Wen, Tang Zhe is your illegitimate son, right?"

Magistrate Wen finally stopped kowtowing after hearing Master's name and looked up with empty eyes.

Just when Josie thought he was going to say something, he burst out laughing.

Then a mouthful of blood spurted out, and Qiao Xi would have been splashed if he hadn't been able to hide quickly.

She checked the new skirt she wore today and nodded with satisfaction.

Qi Anze next to her was not so lucky. Originally, Qiao Xi was in front of him, but when Qiao Xi hid, his gorgeous robe was in vain.

One was paying attention to her clothes, and the other was blaming the girl for staying away. For a moment, no one looked to see Magistrate Wen who was fainting on the ground.

Qi Anze waved his sleeves with an angry look and motioned to the jailer to take him down.

at night,

Qiao Xi, who was walking in night clothes, quietly asked Qi Anze next to him, "Host, how are you sure they will come tonight?"

"That woman is lying. Her father is a very famous counselor, and she is not an ordinary woman in a boudoir.

How could he swallow such a big illegitimate child and arrange errands?

Also, Magistrate Wen has never shown any expression other than shouting about injustice. Today, he laughed so much that he vomited blood just after hearing you talk about his illegitimate son. What a coincidence."

The two people looked at the entrance of the prison, and soon they saw a jailer leading a doctor sneaking in.

After a while, he helped a man out of the prison.

"I thought they would silence me, but I didn't expect that Magistrate Wen was so important." Qi Anze said to himself.

"Dad, is that handsome young man really okay?" Qiao Xi asked worriedly.

In order to ensure that the plan was foolproof, they had already replaced Magistrate Wen County with the disguise master Jade Faced Man.

"Don't worry, he has a lot of experience in the world. If something goes wrong, he can escape faster than anyone else."

The two waited for an hour and found that they still had not received any news from the Jade-Faced Man, and then they noticed something was wrong.

After entering the prison, he discovered that Magistrate Wen was dead.

"Then who was brought out?"

If the other party saw through their plan, who was the one who got out?

Qi Anze raised his eyebrows and quickly walked towards the cell where Magistrate Wen's wife was being held.

really,

Seeing the handsome man tied up inside, Qi Anze ordered all the jailers from last night to be imprisoned.

[Blackening value 50]

"Your Highness, please calm down and we will think of other ways." Qiao Xi said cautiously.

"What can we do? One of such important prisoners died and the other escaped. Who is responsible?" The accompanying official knelt down in fright, "Your Highness, please calm down."

Censor: "His Royal Highness the Crown Prince has a beautiful body. You must not let your body get so angry because of the incident."

Qi Anze: "...Okay, okay, the censor listens to the order. I order you to find this woman within three days and keep her alive."

Censor: "This..."

Before the censor could speak, Qi Anze continued, "If we can't find the person, or the person is dead, then the censor will commit suicide and apologize."

Qi Anze brought the rumored brutal violence to its fullest.

Although he knew this was part of the plan, Josie was still deeply worried about the next errand.

Before anyone could react, he waved his sleeves and walked out of the cell.

The censor was shivering and was helped up by the officials next to him. He walked to Qiao Xi's side and begged,

"I hope Miss Qiao can put in a few kind words for me and ask your highness to give me a few days of grace."

The prince took this girl with him for a private visit incognito. Anyone with a discerning eye would naturally know that the other party's identity was unusual.

"Master Yushi, didn't you see that His Royal Highness was angry with me just now?" Qiao Xi said deliberately coquettishly.

"His Highness was a little anxious because of the case just now, and was not angry with the girl. We can see clearly."

The officials next to him also quickly agreed.

Qiao Xi nodded meaningfully to the censor,

"I'll try my best."

When Qiao Xi returned to the room, he immediately took out the Night Pearl from his sleeve and clicked his tongue several times.

"How did this censor become such an official? He didn't even have the slightest bit of vigilance. Aren't he afraid that I would tell you?"

Qi Anze played with the night pearl as big as a child's fist in his hand and shook his head with a smile.

"The people present are all his people. If you take things and do things, they will have a handle. If you tell me, when you question them, they can not only deny it but also sue you for slander."

"This luminous pearl shouldn't be cheap, right?" Qiao Xi nodded and said casually.

"It's not his own thing, so what does it matter if it's not cheap?"
