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

Chapter 175 Asking

Huang Shaohua was very satisfied with Jiang Yihan seeing how sensible he was.

"Then Lord Jiang, please follow me." Huang Shaohua spoke to him more politely.

Jiang Yihan took a deep breath and followed Huang Shaohua. He always felt that something was wrong, but since he was here, he decided to just take it one step at a time.

At this time, Li Siqi and Xu Yingying had been waiting for a long time.

When Jiang Yihan saw Li Siqi and others in the study, his brows furrowed tightly. He actually didn't recognize Li Siqi very well, and looked at Huang Shaohua with some dissatisfaction.

"Magistrate Huang, what's going on? Why are these two people here? Didn't we say we would have a private meeting?" There was a hint of dissatisfaction in Jiang Yihan's voice, and a hint of vigilance in his eyes.

Huang Shaohua looked at Li Siqi, then at Jiang Yihan, and said with a smile: "Master Jiang, please be patient. These two are my friends. They heard that Master Jiang was coming to Jun County, so they came to me and said they wanted to meet Master Jiang."

"I just called these two people over. This one is Mr. Si, and that one is Mr. Xu. I think Lord Jiang should be able to chat with these two people."

In order to avoid arousing Jiang Yihan's suspicion with Li Siqi's surname, Huang Shaohua deliberately used the word "Si" instead.

After listening to Huang Shaohua, Li Siqi spoke first, "I have heard of Lord Jiang's reputation for a long time. I also accidentally learned that Lord Jiang was coming, so I troubled County Magistrate Huang. County Magistrate Huang and I have been friends for many years, so County Magistrate Huang bought this favor from me. As a distinguished guest, we failed to explain our identities clearly at the door. It is our fault. I hope Lord Jiang will not blame us."

Li Siqi lowered his posture a little, and Jiang Yihan was easily fooled by this trick. Seeing Li Siqi like this, the unhappiness in his heart dissipated a little.

"Mr. Si is a humble person, which I admire very much. Since we are all friends of County Magistrate Huang, it would be no problem for me to meet him." Seeing Jiang Yihan give in, Huang Shaohua quietly breathed a sigh of relief behind him.

After receiving Li Siqi's signal, he said to Jiang Yihan: "Then Lord Jiang, you guys chat first. I will go and arrange refreshments." After that, Huang Shaohua turned and left.

Li Siqi gestured to Jiang Yihan, "Master Jiang, please come this way."

Jiang Yihan really liked the feeling of being treated as a VIP, and his chin unconsciously raised a little higher.

After the three of them sat down, Xu Yingying spoke up, "I have heard of Lord Jiang's reputation for a long time. Now we are able to meet him in person. It is a great honor for us three generations."

"No, no, you're too polite, Mr. Xu. I just have some opportunities." Jiang Yihan waved his hand nonchalantly, but he was already very happy in his heart.

Seeing Jiang Yihan like this, Xu Yingying felt very disdainful in her heart, but considering her own plan, she still endured it with a smile.

Xu Yingying and Li Siqi worked together to make Jiang Yihan smile like a flower with just a few words.

Seeing that the time was ripe, Xu Yingying took the opportunity to pour tea for Jiang Yihan and put some powder in his tea. If those things entered the human body, combined with some spices, they would be enough to have a hypnotic effect.

And Xu Yingying's purpose is exactly this.

As expected, Jiang Yihan relaxed his vigilance towards both of them. When faced with the tea poured by Xu Yingying, he drank it naturally without any doubt.

Seeing this, Li Siqi added something into the incense burner in a corner where Jiang Yihan didn't notice.

After doing all this, Xu Yingying nodded to Li Siqi, who found an excuse and went out. For a moment, Xu Yingying and Jiang Yihan were the only ones left in the study.

If Jiang Yihan was still awake now, he would probably be able to notice something was wrong.

After the study door was closed, Jiang Yihan's eyes had become completely blurred.

Seeing this, Xu Yingying was very satisfied, but in order to avoid any accidents, she still opened her mouth to test, "Master Jiang? Master Jiang? Are you okay?"

"Me? I'm fine..." Jiang Yihan looked at Xu Yingying doubtfully, but Xu Yingying saw dejection and confusion in his eyes; the hypnosis worked.

Xu Yingying was delighted and asked quickly, "Master Jiang, do you still remember a small village not far from Jun County a few years ago? The village was ruined due to taxation."

"Of course I have some impression of the person you're talking about. They're just a bunch of useless people. They couldn't even pay a little bit of tax. They deserved to die in the end." Jiang Yihan's eyes were filled with confusion at first, but soon turned into viciousness.

Seeing Jiang Yihan revealing his true character, Xu Yingying's eyes flashed with a cold light, but now was not a good opportunity to attack Jiang Yihan, she had to make a quick decision, otherwise if seen by the evil spirit, Jiang Yihan would be in great danger.

"Then Lord Jiang, do you still remember who collected the taxes and who did the work?" Xu Yingying continued to ask.

But something unexpected happened.

Perhaps it was because Jiang Yihan was too secretive about this, or perhaps it was because Xu Yingying was too eager for quick success, but after hearing this, Jiang Yihan trembled violently, and then he came to his senses.

Xu Yingying's hypnosis on him was not very deep to begin with, and when Jiang Yihan woke up, he naturally remembered what had just happened. After realizing what he had just said, his face suddenly turned gloomy.

"Mr. Xu... being too curious is not a good thing." After removing Jiang Yihan's hypocritical mask, he was too lazy to even pretend.

Facing Jiang Yihan's warning, Xu Yingying just smiled and said, "Master Jiang, why are you so angry? I just thought of some things that happened before and wanted to ask if you knew anything about it. Look at what you are thinking."

Xu Yingying turned a deaf ear to Jiang Yihan's anger and focused on using stillness to overcome movement.

But Xu Yingying kept her composure, but the evil ghost was different.

The evil ghost was very powerful. Even though Xu Yingying tried to stop her from seeing Jiang Yihan, and Camellia assisted her, the evil ghost still appeared beside Xu Yingying and in front of Jiang Yihan.

But Jiang Yihan couldn’t see the evil ghost. No matter how much the evil ghost flashed in front of him, he still couldn’t see anything.

Xu Yingying's pupils suddenly shrank, and she wanted the evil ghost to leave first.

But it's already a little late.

When the evil ghost realized that Jiang Yihan couldn't see her and was living so comfortably, the anger in her heart multiplied many times.

The temperature around the evil spirit suddenly dropped, and Jiang Yihan, who was at the center of the evil spirit's anger range, shrank back out of respect, as if he was frozen.

The resentment surrounding the evil spirit gradually increased, and the papers in the study began to move without wind.

Jiang Yihan also noticed something was wrong, but with his mortal eyes, he could not see the true face of the evil ghost.
