After I stopped being a lady from a rich family, I fought all over the capital

Chapter 162: Improvisation
"Xun Zhi, do the flowers in my yard look good to you?"

The sudden voice behind him startled the prefect of Jingzhao.

He quickly bowed and saluted politely: "Greetings, Princess."

Jiao Bubai lagged two steps behind the prefect of Jingzhao Prefecture and bent his body even lower.

Zhao Tan hummed softly and walked to the seat at the top and sat down.

He took the tea brought by the maid, took two sips, and then slowly asked, "I heard that Jingzhao Prefecture has solved a lot of cases recently."

"I am ashamed!"

The prefect of Jingzhao prefecture hastily pressed his body down again.

The eldest princess raised her eyebrows: "I heard there is another strange thing in this?"

The prefect of Jingzhao started thinking rapidly.

"I wonder what the princess is referring to?" He showed some confusion at the right time.

Then he continued, "There is indeed a strange thing. I am still investigating the cause. I wonder if it is what the princess mentioned."

"A few days ago, the Xie family of Tongzhilang had a murder case."

"Many of the Xie family's neighbors witnessed the eldest son of the Xie family die at the hands of a quack doctor."

"But the strange thing is..."

The prefect of Jingzhao Prefecture briefly told the princess what happened in front of the Xie family's door, how Xie Shangqi, who had been dead, came back to life in the morgue, and how the Xie family misappropriated the dowry of their married daughter Xie Yuanyi.

"…Because this matter is so bizarre, I have not yet closed the case."

The prefect of Jingzhao raised his head and stole a glance at the eldest princess's expression.

When he was caught making eye contact with someone, he pretended to be distressed.

"It's just that there seems to be some misunderstanding about this matter among the public, and the rumors have distorted the matter beyond all recognition."

Jingzhao Prefecture Governor sighed, "I have listened to the gossips my subordinates have heard on the streets and alleys, and I feel really upset."

"I also want to find out as soon as possible why Xie Tongzhilang came back to life." "To prevent rumors from spreading and causing panic among the people, it will inevitably hurt innocent people."

He raised his head again and looked at the princess: "I have an unwelcome request right now. I would like to ask Your Highness for help."

"Oh?"

The eldest princess raised her eyebrows: "What is your request? Tell me about it."

The Jingzhao prefect hurriedly bowed again and said, "Princess, you have great powers. I wonder if you know any extraordinary people who are proficient in this field?"

"which aspect?"

The princess seemed to be asking the question deliberately even though she knew the answer.

"A gentleman should not speak of strange things." Jingzhao Prefecture Yin bowed and said, "I am a scholar and an official appointed by the court. I should not say such things, ask for such things, or look for such people."

"But Xie Tongzhilang's matter is indeed a bit strange."

The prefect of Jingzhao paused and said, "There is another thing that is equally strange."

"This makes me wonder if there are people with bad intentions who use evil magic to harm others for profit!"

The eldest princess raised her eyebrows and said, "One more thing?"

"Yes!"

Jingzhao Prefecture Yin said: "It is the death of Mrs. Cui, the eldest lady of the Zhang family!"

He briefly recounted what happened at the mourning hall of the Zhang family.

The princess was surprised: "How could such a thing happen?"

"I dare not speak nonsense."

The princess was silent for a moment, then spoke slowly and softly, as if hesitating: "Someone who is good at handling such strange things..."

She really knew and knew one.
