Quick Wear: This Cannon Fodder is Delicate and Expensive

Chapter 303: Don’t Touch the Fox’s Tail (30)

Seeing that the child was not unteachable, Shi Qi was too lazy to say anything more.

"That's really unfortunate. I'm bound to go to the government today." After Shi Qi finished speaking, he ignored everyone and walked straight into the mansion.

"Hey...you!" Several people nearby were about to stop him.

Zhao Chang said first, "Forget it, let her go in. I've already said it beforehand. She won't stay for many days anyway. The rest of you, follow her to sort out the cases. The rest of you, follow me to the Ministry of Justice. I heard that this prisoner has been under trial for half a month, and he's really tight-lipped."

"Yes!"

"Stop." Shi Qi turned around and called out to the figure who was about to leave.

Zhao Chang was stunned: "What? This matter is very urgent. If I can't find out the truth, I will lose my salary this month."

Shi Qi raised his eyebrows and said calmly: "No matter how urgent it is, send me to the main hall first."

It was bad enough that she was suppressed by a fox like Xiang Ling, but it was not her turn to be taught a lesson by a bunch of brats.

She must return this humiliation.

If she remembered correctly, there was a lake next to the main hall. The water in the lake was enough for her to use his own method to get back at the enemy.

"Oh, okay, okay, women are really troublesome." Zhao Chang waved his hands, saying helplessly.

Finally, a group of people lined up in two rows and walked in front to lead the way. Shi Qi moved calmly. Even though her face was pale and her body was dripping with water, her steps were still steady and her eyes were still firm.

Be neither humble nor arrogant, and be generous.

The snow in the pavilion was quite thick, and they walked on it, leaving behind footprints.

Soon, we arrived at the main hall. Sure enough, there was a small bridge next to it. It was surrounded by lake water and there was a rockery in the middle. It looked not well maintained and there was a faint fishy smell coming from it.

There was some thin ice on the lake, and there was nothing to enjoy the view.

"Okay, we're here. You'll be in charge of your work in the main hall here. The side hall over there is where the case records of the three prison officials are kept. The backyard is where you rest, and the separate courtyard is where we rest and work. You can ask others to tell you the details." Zhao Chang turned around and explained to Shi Qi.

This time he was more respectful.

Shi Qi nodded and pointed at the rockery: "How long has it been since you cleaned this place? It's dirty and smelly."

Zhao Chang was not convinced when he heard this, his eyes widened: "Why is it so dirty and smelly? I send people to clean it every day. Women are really troublesome. I didn't smell it. Besides, a group of grown men, how can they not have a bit of masculinity on them?"

"Pfft." Shi Qi couldn't help but chuckled.

What is masculinity that a little brat actually said?

Shi Qi smiled: "Really? Come closer and smell it. Is there really no smell?"

The men were now obedient, standing in unison in front of the shore, sniffing carefully.

"No way, it's obviously you who smelled more..." Zhao Chang smelled a little, but he didn't want to admit it.

But the next second, Shi Qi found a long wooden stake from somewhere, exerted force suddenly, and the fish fell into the water in neat rows.

“Plop! Plop…”

Several grown men were caught off guard and were forced to drink several mouthfuls of smelly water. It was an extremely cold day and they were trembling even when they spoke.

"You! You are such a crazy woman! Boss, ugh... ugh... I told you shouldn't let her in... ugh ugh." A big man threw away the water plants on his head and vomited while speaking angrily.

"Hey, look, you said it wasn't smelly or dirty, but why do you feel disgusted?" Shi Qi squatted on the shore holding a wooden stake, with an expression of watching a joke.

This is much more interesting than her cold water.

Zhao Chang trembled, his lips were stiff, and he spat out a mouthful of dirty water: "I...I should have blocked you... ugh... cough cough, blocked you outside the door!"

"Kid, you are still too naive. As the saying goes, don't do to others what you don't want others do to you. You can't even stand the cold water, but you want to use it against the woman you think is weak. Look, you are just shooting yourself in the foot, aren't you?" Shi Qi saw that they wanted to swim to the shore, so he simply blocked them with the stakes.

Maybe he was really frozen, and even a group of men were not able to defeat Shi Qi alone.

"Damn it, let us go up!" Zhao Chang was dizzy from the stench and was almost losing consciousness from the cold.

Shi Qi saw that several people were pale and trembling, and he didn't want to kill anyone, so he simply threw the wooden stake into the water and turned around and left.

"Okay, a bunch of grown men are so weak. Come out quickly, or your future generations will freeze to death." Shi Qi said as he walked, the depression in his heart vanishing.

"You...you are a shameless woman!" Zhao Chang said angrily while hugging the wooden stake.

Shi Qi: "Call me Sir."

"If you're not satisfied, just keep it to yourself. If you want to cause trouble, I'm always here to accompany you." Shi Qi said, waving his hand behind his back.

At some point, the sky turned gray and snowflakes began to fall again.

……

Shi Qi changed his clothes and found the case records of Lord Song that year.

I read it carefully two or three times, but there was nothing special about it. The evidence and testimony were recorded in detail.

There was just one missing page, and the trace was quite obvious. So the previous and subsequent testimonies didn't quite match up.

A discerning person will know something is wrong at a glance.

Shi Qi called Xiao He, the little fat boy whom she had just pushed into the water. He was quite cute.

Shi Qi asked him to look at the missing page and asked in confusion: "Such an important testimony is missing here, why didn't you report it? Didn't you investigate it?"

Xiao He blinked, looked at Shi Qi with some fear and said: "Reply...Reply to the Lord, this matter happened many years ago. We also wanted to investigate it at that time, but later Su Cheng handed the case over to the Supervision Department."

"This... the Prime Minister has spoken, we can't just ignore it. Later, the case was closed, and the testimony was kept with us. We still haven't found the missing page. If there was one, it's been so many years, and the paper would have rotted away long ago."

When Shi Qi heard this, he felt that this matter must be complicated.

Su Yi is not someone who can handle cases.

Was the missing page of paper destroyed by someone with ulterior motives, or... are both Ming and An still looking for it?

Maybe it's true. It's been so long that it would be in tatters if it was found.

Shi Qi felt depressed. Women’s intuition was really accurate. She really felt that this piece of paper... might be the key trump card for her to defeat Su Yi.

"I understand. You can go down first." Shi Qi put away the information and rubbed his temple.

"Sir, lunch is ready." Xiao He clasped his hands in front of him, looking obedient.

"Do you know how to call adults now? Didn't you have a good time playing with them just now?" Shi Qi asked with a faint smile.

Xiao He scratched his head, stood at attention and said, "My Lord... I, I'm sorry! I was wrong. I shouldn't have joined them in bullying you. I should have joined you in bullying... Uh, no, I should have been on the same front with you! We can't bully the weak!"

Shi Qi laughed: "Okay, you've been helping me for the whole morning, let's go eat."

"Yes."

……

Lane House.

Xiang Ling ate the roast chicken on the plate, but it tasted like wax.

"Who made this? It's so disgusting." Xiang Ling threw away the chicken leg, feeling a little angry.

"Your Excellency... this, this was made by one of the best chefs in the city. Fifty chickens were slaughtered today. Your Excellency... what kind of roast chicken do you like?" the servant said respectfully, sighing slightly in his heart.

"It's colorless and tasteless, and the chicken is tough and mushy. Forget it, take it away. It's an eyesore." Xiang Ling waved his hand and continued to inquire: "Did Lord Shi do anything unusual today?"

"My Lord, I heard that... you were humiliated today."

The next second, an angry voice came from the house:

"What did you say!?"

"Humiliated?"
