540 Intercepting Qi Wu (1 more)
At the entrance of the county yamen, when he saw Song Wanyue and Gu Yi coming, Captain Liu signaled the yamen runners to report to the county tyrant.
He greeted him, "Miss Song, Young Master Gu."
Mr. Gu has a good relationship with the county magistrate. Every time he comes, he will bring some good things to them, or directly reward them with some money to buy wine. Captain Liu got the most and naturally took some care of Gu Yi. Not to mention Song Wanyue, he dared not be polite to Song Hanlin's sister and Mr. Xu's great-granddaughter.
"Let's come and ask the imperial doctor what medicine is needed, and how the case is progressing?"
The county magistrate told them when he went to the academy that Captain Liu had nothing to hide and lowered his voice, "I don't know what Qin Qian said after being questioned by the third prince alone. The third prince asked his accompanying doctor to treat his injuries, and asked his guards to go to the Weiyuan Escort Agency to call Qi Wu and his wife over."
Song Wanyue raised her eyebrows slightly and pretended to be surprised, "Call the Qi Wu and his wife over?"
"yes."
The third prince's guards did not allow them to approach. Captain Liu had a guess in his mind. Thinking that they were not outsiders, he said, "I think what should happen to Qi Wu and his wife have to do with Qin Qian."
Song Wanyue looked at Gu Yi, and Gu Yi took out a silver note and quickly stuffed it into Captain Liu's hand, "Thank you for the hard work these days, I'll buy wine."
It turned out to be a silver note, and at least ten taels were needed. Captain Liu was overjoyed and searched hard in his mind about what else to tell them.
"Miss Song, Master Gu, please invite me."
The yamen runner who reported came back to ask for someone.
"I'll go, stay outside and wait for me."
Gu Yi understood what she meant, nodded, and after seeing her in, he turned back into the carriage.
Song Wanyue followed the yamen runners to the backyard, and the county magistrate was waiting for her not far from the third prince's yard.
When he arrived, Song Wanyue saluted the county magistrate.
"Forgive me, I'll take Miss Song here."
When the county magistrate heard the third prince call Qi Wu and his wife, he also guessed whether they had something to do with Qin Qian. He also thought that it was impossible. If it really had something to do, he should be arrested instead of sending someone to invite him.
But if it had nothing to do with Qin Qian, how could he call people after interrogating Qin Qian? The county magistrate couldn't figure it out and wanted to follow in and listen clearly while Song Wanyue came. After all, this was related to whether his black hat could still be kept.
Song Wanyue thanked him, followed him over, walked to the gate of the courtyard, and was stopped by the guards.
The county magistrate stepped back a little without a trace.
Song Wanyue seemed not to see his actions and said to the guards, "Please report it, I'm here to ask the imperial doctor what medicine they need."
"Wait."
The guards went in and reported.
When Qi Wu heard this, his face changed and subconsciously wanted to find a place to hide it.
"What are you afraid of? A country girl, can I see this prince just as she wants?"
The third prince scolded him and ordered the guards, "Just say that this prince has people ready."
The guard came out and said the third prince.
Song Wanyue glanced inside the house. She was not strong enough now. She only heard the third prince's scolding just now, but she didn't hear clearly what she was saying.
"I remembered a few doubts when I went back today. I wanted to ask Qin Qian. Please tell me again."
The guard looked at her with a cold face.
Song Wanyue was not afraid and looked back at him.
The guard put his hand on his waist knife. If he was in the capital, Song Wanyue could see him with such eyes, he would immediately throw the person out, but now... "
Song Wanyue seemed to have not seen his movements and looked at him in confusion.
The guard took a deep breath, suppressed the coldness, and without saying a word, he turned around and went in to report.
The cold sweat from the county magistrate was gone, and he quietly retreated a little. He admired Song Wanyue's courage. The guard's waist was about to be pulled out just now, but Song Wanyue seemed to be fine and calm.
"Miss Song..."
Just as he was about to kindly persuade her, the prince was no more than an ordinary person. If he really annoyed them, he would be charged with a crime and beheaded at any time.
The guard came out of the house.
The county magistrate stopped talking and wanted to retreat silently. Seeing the person behind the guard, he raised his feet in surprise and forgot to fall down.
The third prince glanced at the county magistrate casually. The county magistrate felt a chill on his back, and was so scared that he quickly bowed his head and bowed, "I've seen the third prince."
"Qingping County."
The county magistrate trembled in fear and said, "Here."
"Didn't you tell Miss Song that Qin Qian is dead?"
The county magistrate didn't react for a moment, and subconsciously looked up at him, his mouth slightly opened.
"Um?"
The county magistrate was shocked and said immediately, "Miss Song, Qin Qian is indeed dead, and the officials have not had time to tell you."
"Dead?"
"Dead."
The county magistrate said it firmly.
Song Wanyue was puzzled, "I remember you told me that he was fake death, how did he become a real death?"
"this……"
The county magistrate secretly looked up at the third prince, touching his slightly angry gaze, and his heart trembled again, and he hurriedly said, "I want to ask him about the mastermind behind the scenes today, and someone was punished. He couldn't stand it, so he died."
Song Wanyue nodded, meaningfully, "It's really time for him to die."
The county magistrate didn't dare to look up, for fear that Song Wanyue would feel guilty on his face.
"Since that's the case, I'm fine."
After saying that, Song Wanyue bowed to the third prince, "Don't blame me if you bother the third prince."
"I will ask Qingping County to buy whatever medicinal materials you need, so you don't come here in the future."
"The girl knows."
Song Wanyue left the county government office, got on the carriage, and told the coachman to go back. Not long after she walked out, she knocked on the wall of the carriage, "The carriage is broken, you go down and check it."
The coachman hurriedly stopped the carriage and jumped down to check.
Xiao Si understood what Song Wanyue said, and jumped down, pretending to check with the coachman.
Song Wanyue told Gu Yi what happened just now, "Since you can't see anyone inside, let's wait here."
Half an hour later, Qi Wu and his wife came out of the county government office, got on the horse and walked towards this side. They saw a carriage parked in the middle of the road, and looked at it vigilantly.
The coachman was lying on the bottom of the car, holding a hammer in his hand, and was nailing something to the wheel of the car. Xiao Si bent over and looked at the coachman.
Didn't see anything unusual, Qi Wu urged the horse to come over. As soon as he walked to the side of the carriage, the curtain was lifted. Song Wanyue "she happened to come out" and saw them, she was surprised, "Uncle Qi, Aunt Qi, what a coincidence."
Qi Wu suddenly stopped the horse, "Song, Miss Song."
Song Wanyue looked in the direction they came over, "Uncle, where are you going? It seems like the county government over there, right?"
When Mrs. Qi heard her words, her face suddenly turned pale.
