Magistrate Zhou asked in astonishment: "Where are you going?"
"Go to the Yamen and see the body."
Magistrate Zhou was startled, looked at Shen Ning and said: "Girl, do you want an autopsy? Well, it was the job done by Wu Zuo. Wu Zuo has already done it. The body is not injured or poisonous, there is no sign of being harmed, and it is already dead. Three days, I’m afraid it will scare you.”
"I'm not afraid." Shen Ning shook her head and said, "Only the deceased knows the truth about this matter best. Mr. Zhou, if you want to know whether the deceased committed suicide or was killed, the best way is to ask the deceased in person. She will tell you."
"Ask, ask the deceased?"
Magistrate Zhou was startled again and felt a chill rising up his back.
Even though it was broad daylight, and even though there were people around him, he still felt a cold wind coming from the ground, and couldn't help but chatter his teeth a few times.
"Girl, you are joking, this dead person can't talk." He forced a smile.
Shen Ning looked at him seriously: "Mr. Zhou, you are wrong. Not only can the dead speak, but what they say is the most true, because the dead cannot lie."
Magistrate Zhou and Wufu both shivered intelligently and stared at Shen Ning, really not knowing what to say.
Especially Magistrate Zhou, he began to feel that he had made a wrong judgment and actually thought that this little girl had a keen eye and would help him solve the mystery.
But from what this little girl said, she sounded crazy. Is she really a lunatic
Shen Ning glanced at Magistrate Zhou's face, guessed his thoughts, and smiled slightly.
"Whether I am crazy or talking nonsense, Mr. Zhou will naturally know after he takes me to the Yamen to examine the body. Of course, if Mr. Zhou wants to take back the help he just asked me for, I will not meddle in other people's business. Let's Keep drinking and eating.”
She sat down again.
Magistrate Zhou calmed down, suddenly stood up and bowed deeply to Shen Ning.
"It's Zhou who is wrong. Please don't take offense, girl. Please go to the county government office with Zhou."
Shen Ning nodded with a smile and turned to look at Zhui Feng.
"Zhui Feng, pay, let's go to the Yamen."
Zhui Feng couldn't help but blurted out: "Isn't he asking for a treat?"
Shen Ning glared at him and said to Magistrate Zhou: "Mr. Zhou, it's just a meal. You don't want to argue with me? You want to treat me to a meal. When this case comes to light, I won't." I’ll be polite to you, but you can’t refuse the bill when the time comes.”
Although she didn't hear the whispers between Magistrate Zhou and Wufu, she could guess from the looks on their faces that Magistrate Zhou must be short of money, so how could she really let him treat them
County Magistrate Zhou was delighted when he heard this.
It wasn't that he felt sorry for Yinzi, but he felt that although this little girl was not amazing in appearance, she spoke and acted in an elegant manner. Not only did she give him a step up, but she also spoke so naturally that she would not feel embarrassed.
However, his eyes fell on Shen Ning's clothes, and he couldn't help but show a look of hesitation on his face. Seeing that the little girl was dressed in rags, how could she have the money to pay for these two tables of good wine and food? This was why he was rushing to treat her. .
He arrived late and didn't know that Shen Ning sold the Dongpo meat for 500 taels of silver.
"Girl, I am the lord of this county. When you come to my place, it is up to me to act as a landlord. I will pay for this meal."
Magistrate Zhou turned around and said, "Wufu, why don't you go and settle the bill quickly?"
