After she became a county magistrate, she took the ghost to investigate the case

Chapter 154 Farewell to Master Fang

The entrance to the mansion.

Xu Yingying and Li Siqi looked at Fang Ruohan reluctantly.

"Master Fang, are you really leaving? Not staying for a while?"

Xu Yingying asked with some reluctance. She really wanted Fang Ruohan to help her find a way to go back. If Fang Ruohan left, she didn't know when they would meet again.

Fang Ruohan seemed to see what Xu Yingying was thinking and immediately burst into hearty laughter.

"Hahaha, Master Xu, some things depend on fate. There's no need to force it. The Taoism I learned is to comprehend it in a deserted place."

"If I hadn't seen Hanba coming out and worried that she would harm too many innocent people, you might not have seen me. When our destiny comes, you will be able to see me again."

Seeing Fang Ruohan say this, Xu Yingying could only nod helplessly and said, "Okay! Then I wish Master Fang a safe journey."

Fang Ruohan nodded, then turned to look at Li Siqi and said in a serious tone: "Since the two gentlemen have a destiny with this old man, then this old man will also give this young man a word of advice!"

"Until the end, it is still unknown who will win. Since you are born as a prince, you should fight for yourself. The more you fear and worry about something, the more likely it is to happen. If you have someone you like in your heart, be bold and work hard to fight for him."

After Fang Ruohan finished speaking, she looked at Li Siqi meaningfully.

Li Siqi was slightly stunned after hearing this. What this meant was... asking him to fight for the throne?

Li Siqi's pupils shrank when he thought of this.

But soon he shook his head helplessly and said, "Of course I don't want to! Unfortunately, I am a short-lived person and have little luck."

Li Siqi shook his head helplessly.

After saying this, he subconsciously glanced at Xu Yingying beside him. If there was nothing wrong with his body and he hadn't been poisoned by a cold, he would probably be a prince now.

In this case... maybe there is still a chance to propose to Xu Yingying.

But... unfortunately, he was a man who had been poisoned by the cold and could die at any time.

"Don't say anything discouraging until the very end, sir. Even if you don't set your sights on that chair, the person who wants to be that chair won't let you go. Instead of that, sir, you might as well take the initiative."

After Fang Ruohan finished speaking, she revealed a mysterious smile, and turned and left without caring about Li Siqi's reaction.

After hearing this, Li Siqi was stunned.

Yes, even if he didn't fight for the position of crown prince, Li Siming and the Imperial Concubine would still not let him go.

Instead of doing this, he might as well take a gamble and fight for it. At least he could save Xu Yingying and then find out the cause of his mother's death.

Xu Yingying, who was standing by, looked at Fang Ruohan's departing back and couldn't help wondering, "Wait, what are you two talking about? I don't understand."

"Nothing." Li Siqi said casually.

Li Siqi looked the same as usual on the surface, but Fang Ruohan's words left a huge wave in Li Siqi's heart.

Yes, some things belonged to him.

It's time for him to fight for it.

The matter of Hanba was temporarily over, and Xu Yingying and Li Siqi seemed particularly relaxed.

early morning.

Just when Xu Yingying got up early and was enjoying the warmth of the sun in the yard, she was suddenly interrupted by an untimely shout.

"Sir, something bad has happened, sir." Xu Yingying looked up and saw a yamen runner.

She felt that something bad must have happened again.

"What's wrong?" Xu Yingying hurried over.

A middle-aged woman with gray hair was lying on the ground and said to Xu Yingying anxiously, "My Lord, it's bad. My son is missing."

At this time, Huang Shaohua also rushed over after hearing the noise. He lowered his head to glance at the women and children below and found that the other person was Aunt Zhao who was selling meat on the street.

"What's wrong, Aunt Zhao?" Huang Shaohua asked puzzledly.

Aunt Zhao stammered and said, "We have a few cows at home. My son Goudan went out to herd the cows early yesterday morning. I didn't expect that he hasn't come back yet."

"I thought he had gone too far at night and came back late, but there was no sign of him today. His father and I searched the entire village but couldn't find him."

At this point, Aunt Zhao burst into tears out of anxiety.

"I suspect... I suspect... my son Goudan has met with an accident."

After hearing this, Huang Shaohua looked at Xu Yingying.

He immediately spoke to comfort Xu Yingying, "Aunt Zhao, your son should be fine. Don't worry. He might be back soon. How about this! I will send more runners to look for him."

Huang Shaohua spoke to Aunt Zhao to comfort her.

After hearing this, Aunt Zhao could only nod helplessly.

Xu Yingying called Li Siqi, who had just woken up, over. After all, human life was at stake, and one more person meant one more chance of finding Goudan.

Just like that, Xu Yingying and Li Siqi took a group of people to search the back mountain, because the back mountain is an important place for grazing cattle and sheep, and in some places the mountain roads are rugged and there are small ponds, woods and so on, making the search difficult.

Huang Shaohua stayed in the county town and searched inside and around it.

"Goudan——"

"Goudan! Where are you?"

"I heard the questioning voice. Is your mother looking for you everywhere?"

……

Xu Yingying and Li Siqi led their men back and forth in the woods at the back of the mountain, shouting loudly.

The dense woods and rich vegetation on the back mountain undoubtedly greatly increased the difficulty of the search.

I don't know how long the search lasted, but at this moment a bailiff suddenly pointed at a certain place and screamed.

"My lord, my lord, look there."

When everyone heard the sound, they looked and found a man sitting there with a dull look in his eyes, as if he had lost his soul, and drooling from the corners of his mouth.

"Does anyone of you know him? Is this Goudan?" Xu Yingying pointed at the man and shouted.

Xu Yingying's sixth sense told her that this was the person he was looking for.

The bailiff looked at the man, then nodded to Xu Yingying and said, "Yes, he is Goudan."

After hearing this, Li Siqi immediately breathed a sigh of relief. He finally found the person, and he was still alive.

"Okay, let's take him back!" Li Siqi said lightly, and the huge rock pressing on his heart was finally lifted.

"Wait!" Xu Yingying looked at Goudan who hadn't moved for a long time and suddenly had a bad feeling. Normally, a normal person would have some reaction when seeing so many people, but he didn't. He kept the same action and expression as when she first saw him.

Could it be... that he is dead!

Xu Yingying hurried forward and put her hand under Goudan's nose.

Fortunately, I'm breathing.

She breathed a sigh of relief when she saw this.
