Gu Qixian was a good talker, and Lin Ying, who came to the county government office with Baoxi and his party, felt that she was a hero and had no place to play.

As soon as he heard that someone was using animals to repeatedly try to kill the young talent, the county magistrate was so angry that his mustache trembled again and again. He immediately ordered the master and his subordinates to investigate immediately. Not only that, the county magistrate also arranged for Niang Er and Ji Huaigu to move into the county.

Posthouse.

The spring night is dense.

After dinner, Lin Ying went out for a walk to eat. When she came, she saw several peach trees in the yard, which seemed to have a few small flowers in bloom.

The pink and white peach blossoms exude a soft fragrance in the haze.

When I picked up a branch and wanted to smell it, a clear male voice came from behind me:

"Mrs. Gu is so interested."

"The dean also came out to eat?" Lin Ying looked back.

Ji Huaigu was walking down the steps, with fluttering green clothes and a face as gentle as jade that made people want to take a few more glances. She flicked the peach branch back, and when Ji Huaigu stopped three steps away, she found that the usually gentle Ji Huaigu looked different.

, a pair of passionate willow eyes are not as approachable as they are in the daytime, but contain a little more...

Is it hidden anger?

Ji Huaigu spoke lightly:

"Mrs. Gu should remember telling you about the golden guy's husband dying of poisoning, right?"

"Remember."

Lin Ying probably understood why Ji Huaigu was angry.

"Last time, Madam promised to go back and have a good chat with Qixian. When I saw that Madam was serious about what she said, I thought that Madam took it to heart. But today it seems..."

The incident of being chased into the water by a dog today was obviously a joint effort between Lin Ying and Gu Qixian. Although he couldn't figure out how the dog was captured alive, Ji Huaigu felt that this could not change the fact of their design. "Qixian is very talented and should focus on studying."

On, instead of..."

After thinking about it, Ji Huaigu said something serious:

"Instead of designing this thing and framing that thing all day long, wasting talents and filthy conduct."

Lin Ying pursed her lips.

I hadn't noticed it before, but Ji Huaigu still had some sense of a holy father.

For the sake of his sincere treatment of his fourth son, and of course for the sake of his classically handsome face, Lin Ying felt patient enough to say a few words to him:

"What happened to the Jin family that day was forced. The dean should know very well that if it weren't for such a trap, the fourth child would not be able to take the exam. As for what happened today, does the dean think... is it really a set-up?"

"Except for the dog, there is no one in the Liu and Wu families..."

"People are harmless, but tigers can hurt others. The dean must have heard of this, right? What's more, the Liu and Wu families are not really innocent. Didn't the people sent by the county magistrate come back this afternoon and said, according to their investigation

, that dog listened to Liu Tianci very much."

The strong smell of pedantry made Lin Ying a little depressed, "Since they can think of using dogs to harm people, don't they have to take responsibility just because they didn't show up?"

"Can……"

The last two times they met, Ji Huaigu only thought that Mrs. Gu was generous and knowledgeable, but she didn't expect to be so eloquent!

He took a deep breath and said seriously:

"You can say you were forced to do nothing once, but how can you say you were forced twice or three times? Madam, have you ever thought about it, if these things spread, it will be detrimental to Qixian's reputation. He still has a long way to go, and he must not fall behind early.

He has a reputation for being cruel and ruthless, and as a division commander, I hope that he will become a pure minister of the Jingguo in the future, rather than a sycophantic minister who is good at conspiracy!"

Lin Ying fell silent.

In your previous life, your proud disciple was a sycophant. Why didn't you come out to scold him?

"The dean has high hopes for the fourth child. As a family member, I should be happy. But...dean, you know, I won't offend anyone unless they offend me. If someone offends me, as long as no one is killed,

We must beat each other down! The Liu and Wu families are like bedbugs in the sewer, crawling out from time to time and making people disgusting. If we don't solve it completely, the two or five of us will not be able to live in peace."

The clear female voice rang like a bell in the night.

Ji Huaigu was stunned and kept silent for a long time before asking:

"So, if Qixian is allowed to enter the temple in the future, do you agree with his partisanship and conspiracy against each other?"

"The fourth child has just been selected as a scholar today. It's too early to say this now."

Lin Ying felt that what she said and what Ji Huaigu said were two different things. Could it be that others didn't fight back even if they bullied her right in front of her?

If you behave like that, it's not called pure, it's called stupid!

This was the first time that she felt that she and the handsome boy had nothing in common. Lin Ying sighed and said softly, "I know that the dean is doing the best for the fourth child. Don't worry, I will establish his three views and try not to let him grow crooked.

"

Silence spread between the two of them.

There was faint movement at the door of the post house. Lin Ying, who didn't want to be gossiped about, turned around and murmured rather regretfully:

"Hey, it's better to live a sensible life than to look good. Some people seem to be rich and don't understand this truth."

"..."

She is the head of the hospital, obsessed with learning and respected by others, but she actually said that she doesn't understand life? Ji Huaigu's eyebrows were furrowed deeper than ever before, but the next second, his expression was weird again, and she also said that she was good-looking? This

Mrs. Gu is really...

He couldn't find a suitable adjective for a long time. Standing where he was, he heard a laughing question coming from behind him:

"Is Dean Ji here admiring the flowers?"

"Why are the county magistrates here?" Ji Huaigu gathered his thoughts and turned around.

"I came to talk to the scholar lady for a few words. I have a few more questions that I would like to ask."

"Mrs. Gu will live in the south room. Please ask the county magistrate."

Lin Ying, who had only taken one step earlier, heard the conversation between the two and returned to her room to pour tea.

Unexpectedly, the county magistrate's so-called "few people I want to ask more questions" were not related to murder, but to inquire about Gu Qixian's personal situation, such as what he likes to eat, what he does, and what books he reads. You guessed it.

The county magistrate was probably going to marry Gu Qixian. Lin Ying's mouth twitched, but she had to brace herself to deal with it.

After asking similar questions, the county magistrate chuckled and said vaguely:

"I have a daughter named Yucui. She is fourteen this year. She has a gentle temperament and is quite cute."

finally come!

Lin Ying pretended not to understand and started laughing:

"The lady from the County Chancellor's family must be excellent. The County Chancellor is fair and wise, so you can imagine that he has a good way of raising his daughter."

"Mrs. Gu is really good at talking. In fact, I..."

"Ah, it's so late! Sir, I'm sorry, but the housewife has to remind the fourth child to take a rest! This child usually can't let go of his books, and he doesn't know how to study until late at night. He has to be reminded by me to go to bed and rest. If you are not busy, please come here

Later, I’ll go to the fourth child’s room and come back.”

With that said, Lin Ying stood up quickly, opened the door, went out and closed the door in one go.

Lin Ying did not mention the differences with Ji Huaigu and the favor of the county magistrate to Gu Qixian that night.

The next morning, someone from the county government came and said that the county magistrate had ordered the arrest of the suspect Liu Tianci first.

Shanghu Village.

In the small courtyard surrounded by low walls, Liu Wu and Liu Tianci, who had returned from plowing the fields, basked in the sun and ate the morning's leftovers.

"It's so tiring to plow the fields! Alas!"

All the bones in his body were about to fall apart, Liu Wu muttered, and Liu Tianci was dissatisfied after hearing this:

"Isn't it easy for mother to marry Jingjing back?"
