Rebirth of the second ex-husband

Chapter 292 The County Magistrate Is Dead
The room was silent, and there was no sign of anyone.A book was still flipped over on the desk, and there was a cup of tea next to it.

Fu Qingyan followed King Qin and walked over, looking around vigilantly, without withdrawing his guard at all.

The housekeeper's face was already pale, as if the sky was about to fall, his thoughts seemed to be blocked in an instant, and he couldn't figure out why the county magistrate was not in the study.

King Qin frowned slightly, and reached out to touch the teacup full of doubts. He only felt that the teacup was only a little warm, obviously because he had been gone for a while.

Princess Linghua's expression turned pale, it seems that the county magistrate has escaped.

Qin Wang's heart flashed, his eyes were full of worry, and he said in a low voice: "No, he ran away, hurry up!"

Upon hearing this, Li Mohua, Ran Zeyu and Fei Shan immediately turned their heads and chased them out together.

Princess Linghua looked at King Qin with a worried look on her beautiful face. She originally thought that the matter should come to an end, but unexpectedly... this might just be the beginning.

Princess Linghua remained silent for a while, then raised her eyes, looked at the butler standing aside, and suddenly said sharply: "Butler, do you know where your master has gone?"

The butler knelt down on his knees with a "boom", and said tremblingly, "Princess, please spare me. I really don't know, the master was still reading in the room...why..."

Princess Ling Hua's face suddenly became gloomy, and she sneered.

She looked down at the butler from a high position, silently but consciously prolonging his fear.

The butler didn't know how to express his current mood, complaining, anxious, helpless, afraid, etc. It was already too late for him in a moment

Looking at the butler's pale face, Princess Linghua did not soften her heart at all. At this time, she must absolutely oppress and intimidate the butler.

Princess Linghua's voice was faint but vaguely cold, and said: "Housekeeper, just tell me what you know, especially what you think is unusual."

The housekeeper muttered: "Unusual..."

"I'll give you a chance to make amends!" Princess Ling Hua's tone softened slightly.

Hearing Princess Linghua said that she would make amends, the butler breathed a sigh of relief, feeling a little relieved, but his whole body was covered in cold sweat, "Oh my god, I don't have to die at last." The words almost blurted out, but they were swallowed hard.

The housekeeper thought for a while, a flash of inspiration flashed in his eyes, he remembered something, and suddenly said: "Oh, that's right!"

When Princess Linghua and King Qin heard that there was something in the housekeeper's words, they couldn't help but keep their bodies still and listened attentively.

The butler said eagerly: "Our master came three months ago..."

Before the steward finished speaking, Qin Wang felt strange and asked casually: "So your master is also a newcomer!"

Speaking of this, King Qin looked at Princess Linghua, and Princess Linghua was very clear in his thoughts. If this is the case, then this matter is likely to be a scheme of the people behind the scenes.

The butler nodded and continued: "Yes, the master came three months ago. He has been highly regarded by the master since he came here. The master listens to him almost everything."

The housekeeper looked around the bookstore, feeling a little puzzled, and said still: "Since Master came here, I like to stay in this bookstore with Master very much, often for a long time."

Hearing this, Princess Linghua and King Qin looked at each other again, they both had the same meaning in their hearts, and there was a lot to be said for this.

At this moment, the three of Ran Zeyu hurried in: "His Royal Highness, His Royal Highness King Qin, it's not good!"

King Qin and Princess Linghua couldn't hear it anymore and didn't know what happened.

Princess Ling Hua frowned, and hurriedly asked: "What's wrong?"

Ran Zeyu took a breath slightly, with a look of surprise on his face, and reported: "The county magistrate... died..."

"What!" King Qin was startled, then pursed his lips, but the corner of his mouth was no longer smiling.

Ran Zeyu said seriously: "We found the body of the county magistrate in a small forest outside the city... We were a step late..."

"It seems that the matter is more serious than we imagined." Princess Linghua's beautiful face was solemn, "Now, the clue of the county magistrate has been cut off, what should we do?"

King Qin's bottomless eyes closed and opened again, and he looked around, but a smile appeared on his face instantly: "Jiumei, do you still remember what the housekeeper said just now?"

After being reminded by King Qin, Princess Linghua smiled slowly, and said with a hint of surprise in her eyes: "The study!"

Qin Wang, Ran Zeyu and others checked in the study for a while, touching here and there, everything in the room seemed so normal, showing anxious and embarrassed expressions.

Suddenly, there was a sound of "squeaking", the bookshelf suddenly moved, and a door appeared behind the bookshelf.

Ran Zeyu was taken aback, and moved the inkstone in his hand back to its original place. Sure enough, the bookshelf was closed again, and Ran Zeyu quickly moved the inkstone away.

Ran Zeyu sighed: "I like to set it behind the bookshelf anyway."

The butler's eyes were wide open, he had been serving the master here for many years and hadn't discovered this secret door.

Fei Shan twitched his lips helplessly, he could sigh, this brother Ran is really sentimental.

Li Mohua remained calm, just looking at the secret door, Fu Qingyan's eyes flickered.

Qin Wang's eyes were as black as ink, as if they were bottomless, and he couldn't see anything. He smiled warmly on his face, and agreed with Ran Zeyu's exclamation very much, and seemed to think there was nothing new about it.

Everyone nodded at each other, restrained their faces, and walked in one after another.

This is not a very big dark room. There are really not many things in it. It is clear at a glance that there is only one huge box.

Without further ado, Ran Zeyu opened the box, and there was a lot of money inside, the housekeeper's eyes widened, what a huge amount!
Ran Zeyu roughly estimated, and exclaimed in amazement: "This is a full 20 taels!" His eyes were filled with disbelief and anger, this county magistrate is too good at hiding money.

Princess Linghua heard the number, and said calmly: "So the money is here, but it has not been touched!"

Her voice was as soft as snow, but between her words, there was a cold and murderous radiance.

After hearing Princess Ling Hua's words, the butler couldn't help but turn his head to look at Princess Ling Hua boldly, and saw that gloomy clouds were condensing on that pretty and elegant face, and the clear water-like eyes were rolling with wild waves.

Although Princess Linghua doesn't like political affairs, she knows that for embezzling so much money, the county magistrate committed the crime of beheading.

The money is not counting the money that has not been recovered, the amount is astonishing, especially the embezzlement of the county magistrate is the money for disaster relief, which is an added crime, and she firmly believes that it is impossible for a county magistrate to have a black heart alone. Someone must be covering it!

A sneering sneer appeared on the corner of Princess Linghua's mouth, she felt surprised and at the same time couldn't help but get angry, secretly thinking that the county magistrate is too greedy!

Li Mohua and the others looked very serious, while Fu Qingyan stared coldly at the tip of the sword, as if he wanted to chop someone into pieces.
