Si Ning was not used to the taste of Yinchuan at first, but he got better later. Seeing her bitter and resentful look, he couldn't help but smile and said, "Isn't it just that the food is a little salty?"

Just as Lu Lu was about to retort, there was a knock on the door of the wing.

"master."

Outside the door is Dongqing.

Si Ning's eyes lit up, "Come in."

Dong Qing pushed open the door and walked in. Si Ning couldn't wait to ask, "Is it the verdict?"

"Lin Jingdan died in court, the Yamen is under martial law, and the case has not been pronounced yet." Dong Qingyan said concisely and comprehensively.

Si Ning stood up and said, "What? Lin Jingdan is dead!"

Dongqing told what happened in the Yamen in detail again.

"People died like this in full public view?" Si Ning looked ugly, "Are all the people in the yamen just for a living?"

"Master, I'm afraid the Yellow River corruption case is not as simple as it seems on the surface." Although Dong Qing didn't know much about the inside story, he could tell that there was definitely someone behind Lin Jingdan.

Otherwise, he wouldn't have covered up for Cui Shanyuan even though he knew he had no escape route.

Si Ning didn't think much because she was angry. She calmed down after being pointed out by Dong Qing.

"Yes, there must be a hidden secret behind the Huanghe corruption case, otherwise there would be no need to silence Lin Jingdan." Si Ning frowned.

After hearing this, Si Ning felt angry and irritable, but now she felt a chill in her heart, if the person behind the Huanghe corruption case was not Lin Jingdan.

In the previous life, were the Yellow River bursting its banks, the northern invasion, and the great conquests and chaos all man-made?

This thought appeared in Si Ning's mind, making her feel cold. If this was the case, was there someone watching behind her all the time? Was everything she did in vain?

All the blood drained from Si Ning's face, and he fell down on the stool with a pale face.

When Lu Lu on the side saw this, she was worried, "Princess? What's wrong with you?"

Dong Qing looked at the princess's devastated look. Although he was worried, he was also puzzled. Was the princess too concerned about the Yellow River corruption case?

"The princess does not need to worry too much. Although Lin Jingdan is dead, the evidence is complete now, and all the evidence points to Lin Jingdan. Even if he dies, the case can be closed," Dong Qing said.

What Si Ning cared about this time was Lin Jingdan's life and death and whether the case could be closed.

What she cares about is whether there is an unknown driving force behind everything in her past life.

"Go back to the Yamen." Si Ning stood up, holding on to the table. Her head was so confused now that she couldn't figure out any clues. She wanted to go back and think about it.

After returning to the Yamen, Si Ning locked himself in the room.

She walked to the desk, spread out the rice paper, took up her pen and thought for a moment, and then started writing on the paper.

Lin Jingdan and Cui Shanyuan are the masterminds behind the scenes

Unexpected man-made things in past and present lives

Si Ning naturally hoped that everything that happened in her previous life was an accident, but after what happened in the yamen just now, she thought it was very possible that it was man-made.

This is the answer she least wants to face. Human behavior is changeable and uncontrollable. If there is a pair of hands behind all this, can she change anything with just the little things she knew in her previous life?

Si Ning looked at the content on the paper with dull eyes. Why had she been surrounding Li Su in her previous life? If she had not been surrounding Li Su, would she have more information?

No wonder others said she was a stupid beauty before. Sure enough, now, she thinks she is too stupid and can't think of any solution.

Si Ning hit his head hard twice, and then slumped down on the chair weakly.

…

Lin Jingdan was dead, Cui Shanyuan remained silent again, and the case suddenly reached a deadlock.

Near noon, Si Yunlan returned to the county magistrate's office.

The Yellow River corruption case was first discovered by Si Ning. He knew that she had always been very concerned about it, so he came back to tell her the progress and the news that His Majesty would be leaving for Beijing in the near future.

As soon as Si Yunlan entered the backyard, he saw Dong Qing and Lu Zhu guarding the door. He was a little surprised and asked, "What's going on?"

"Young master, after the princess knew what happened in the Yamen, she locked herself in the house when she came back. Please help me take a look." Luzhu said anxiously.

Ever since the Peach Blossom Banquet, the princess has always been in a low mood and locked herself in her room alone. She was worried every time.

"Don't worry, I'll go in and take a look." Si Yunlan said, stepping forward and knocking on the door. Seeing no response from inside, he said, "Don't say anything, I'm going in."

Si Ning originally didn't want to talk to him, but he didn't expect him to do this, so he hurriedly turned over the rice paper on the table and put it on the table.

Si Yunlan noticed her movements, his eyes flashed slightly, but he said nothing.

He smiled and walked over and sat across from her, "I heard from Luzhu that you are in a bad mood. What's wrong? Tell me?"

Looking at Si Yunlan's familiar look, Si Ning really wanted to tell the truth for a moment, but he still held back. After telling such a bizarre thing, he might think he was crazy.

Forget it.

"It's nothing. Lin Jingdan died like this. It was really an advantage for him." Such people should be paraded on the streets and then taken to the execution ground to serve as a warning to others.

"It was indeed too easy for him to die." Si Yunlan nodded, "But the evidence is sufficient. Even if he dies, he cannot escape the crime."

"Yeah." Si Ning nodded. This was not the news she wanted, but she also knew that this was the best news she could hear at this stage.

"I heard from Dong Qing that Lin Jingdan was killed by someone. Who was it? Do you have any clues?" Si Ning looked at Si Yunlan helplessly.

Lin Jingdan's corruption was originally discovered by Si Ning, who was more concerned about it, and Si Yunlan understood.

"The case is still under investigation. I can tell you some details of the case, but you have to promise to keep it confidential."

Si Ning nodded, "Don't worry, I will keep it secret and won't tell anyone."

"We don't have many clues at the moment. Last night we dug out the spy who had been hiding in Yinchuan from the man in black sent by Cui Shanyuan to assassinate Cheng Shi.

Cheng Shi is the hero of Zhongwei County who discovered the evidence of Cui Shanyuan's crime, and is also the scapegoat Cui Shanyuan found for himself.

And Cui Shanyuan is the person Lin Jingdan lied to keep even though he knew he had no way out.

Now all the clues are apparently related to Cui Shanyuan, and his identity is also very special. He is a descendant of the former Wang Cuiting with a different surname, and he hates the imperial court very much.

Although he is now in our hands, he is not cooperative at all.

So, now the case is at a deadlock."

Si Yunlan connected all the clues of the case.

After listening, Si Ning also felt that it was not easy to solve this case, and couldn't help but sigh.

"By the way, His Majesty will return to Beijing soon. Do you want to go back with him?"
