The Ordinary Man's Guide to Fast Travel

Liu Fufeng looked at the empty official seal box and was unusually calm.

Liu Rong was getting anxious and angry, "Sir, if you lose the official seal, you will be beheaded! I don't know who stole the official seal for no reason. Isn't this a matter of life and death?"

"It's obviously County Magistrate Ge. I'm afraid he stole the official seal just to kill me! These days, I've basically sidelined him as the county magistrate. He can't do anything, so I came up with this idea. What's there to be afraid of? I check the official seal several times a day to see if it's in its original place. It was there yesterday, but it's gone today. There are only two people who can get access to the official seal. County Magistrate Ge is the most suspicious. There can't be anyone else except him."

"But this matter has not been confirmed. What if it is not him? Is there any way to confirm it directly?"

Liu Fufeng was actually just guessing, but after all, he hadn't seen it, so there was no way to be 100% sure where the official seal was.

Chao Yao just walked in at this moment, holding a bowl of snow pear stew.

Liu Fufeng drinks a bowl of pear soup cooked by Chao Yao himself every day. He is usually busy and communicates with his subordinates all the time.

Chao Yao was worried that his throat would be strained, so he came up with this idea.

By putting a drop of spiritual spring water in the snow pear stew, Liu Fufeng's body will be able to withstand such a heavy workload.

"What's bothering you so much?"

Before Liu Fufeng could speak, Liu Rong frowned and said anxiously, "The county magistrate's official seal is lost. Now I suspect that County Magistrate Ge stole it, but I can't be completely sure, and there is no evidence."

"As long as you are sure that it was County Magistrate Ge who stole it, you can easily solve other problems, right?"

Liu Fufeng nodded, "As long as it is confirmed that he stole it, I will find a way to make him return it himself."

This was not a difficult task for Chao Yao. She could see everything within a five-kilometer radius, and was not affected even by a wall.

But this matter was too ridiculous, and she couldn't say this directly to other people.

After thinking it over again and again, she did not mention it on the spot. She only mentioned it casually when Liu Fufeng and she were having lunch alone at noon.

"I can find a way to completely determine where the official seal is. After all, I have been here for so long, and I have already established a network of relationships with ladies, servants and retainers. County Magistrate Ge's family does not have many people, so they can be easily bribed."

Liu Fufeng put down his chopsticks and took Chao Yao's hand.

"I know that whenever I encounter difficulties, Madam can always be my most reliable military advisor. With you by my side, I can have no worries."

Chao Yao pursed her lips and smiled. She didn't have any ability to be an official's wife. It was just because she was lucky enough to travel through time and space to become a legitimate daughter, and was taught by Fang family personally, that she could look a little more calm when handling things.

As for other things, it was only because she had a golden finger that she was confident and more clever than others.

She is very clear about these.

My own abilities are not strong, and I have always been helped by others to grow.

"You're walking so fast, I have to keep up with you. Husband and wife can go further if they move forward together."

Liu Fufeng's love for Chao Yao was interest and responsibility from the very beginning.

But after living together for a long time, he found that his wife was someone who could stand shoulder to shoulder with him, which made him have fewer worries.

His wife has a similar background as him, they have common goals, and their family is harmonious. This is the confidence that enables a man to keep working hard outside.

Liu Fufeng handed the task of finding the official seal to Chao Yao, and that afternoon, she went out for a walk.

In less than an hour, Chao Yao determined the location of the official seal.

She found Liu Fufeng and told him her discovery in private.

"The official seal is inside County Magistrate Ge's pillow. It must have been put in there not long ago."

Liu Fufeng thought about it and told Chao Yao something.

After determining the location and the people, Liu Fufeng summoned all the yamen runners, including County Magistrate Ge.

Let’s not do anything else, just come and have a meeting.

Just as a group of people were listening to Liu Fufeng talking about his next plans in office, suddenly a yard in the county government office caught fire.

Without saying a word, Liu Fufeng handed the box containing the official seal to County Magistrate Ge in front of everyone.

"Ge County Magistrate, you have always been prudent in doing things, so I will give this official seal to you for safekeeping. No one else can touch this official seal except you! This is my life and property, and I'm leaving it to you!"

After saying this, before County Magistrate Ge could react, Liu Fufeng took all the yamen runners to put out the fire.

County Magistrate Ge's face turned green as he held the empty box.

He gritted his teeth as he watched Liu Fufeng and the yamen runners leave. This Liu Fufeng was quite good at planning.

He will open the box in front of everyone after the fire is put out. If there is no official seal inside, everyone will think that he took it.

After all, I gave it to him in front of everyone. There is no reason for him to take it back empty-handed. By then, he won't be able to explain himself even if he has ten mouths!

Spitting at their backs, County Magistrate Ge hurried back home and put the official seal from the pillow into the box.

Liu Fufeng looked at County Magistrate Ge who hurriedly ran in from the gate, and the corners of his mouth curled up.

There was no fire in the county government yard. Chao Yao just piled up some wet straw and burned it.

There was a lot of smoke, but actually there was no loss.

The Yao County government office was so poor that Liu Fufeng couldn't bear to burn down the yard.

Seeing County Magistrate Ge taking the box back, Liu Fufeng looked grateful.

"Thank you, County Magistrate Ge, for protecting the official seal. I said this matter is absolutely safe to leave to you."

In front of everyone, Liu Fufeng opened the box.

The official seal was placed quietly inside, and the smile on Liu Fufeng's face grew bigger and bigger.

County Magistrate Ge wiped the sweat off his face and said, "It is my duty to protect the official seal. County Magistrate Liu is too kind. Has the fire in the county government been put out? Alas, Yao County's government office is already poor, and I don't know how much money it will cost to repair it."

Liu Rong tried hard to suppress the smile on his face, his voice trembling a little.

"There was no fire. The county government office was not on fire."

County Magistrate Ge was completely stunned, and his voice was even more trembling than Liu Rong's.

"What was that thick smoke just now?"

"Oh! Madam Liu and her servants were burning straw to make some ash, but they found that the straw was wet, so there was a lot of smoke. In fact, nothing was burned. County Magistrate Ge doesn't need to worry too much. Our county government has not suffered any losses."

After hearing what Liu Rong said, County Magistrate Ge's eyes widened with anger. After a few breaths, he fell straight down with his head raised.

Liu Fufeng was holding the official seal box and looking at County Magistrate Ge with a nervous expression. This made other yamen runners feel that Liu Fufeng was extremely concerned and worried about County Magistrate Ge.

"County Magistrate Ge is not feeling well. I will ask for someone else to take the position. As for County Magistrate Ge, please go home and recuperate. Your health is important. If you are not feeling well, I will have to find another county magistrate."

County Magistrate Ge, who had fainted, did not hear these words, otherwise he would have fainted again from anger.

Liu Rong casually called two yamen runners to take him to the clinic, and some common people who came to watch the fun also followed him along the way.

Everyone listened to the doctor's verdict: "County Magistrate Ge fainted because of anger. Rest for a while, and remember not to get angry in the future, otherwise it will damage your mind."

The yamen runner who sent him to the clinic asked one more question: "What if his mind is damaged? If County Magistrate Ge falls, the county government will have to immediately replace him with someone else!"

The doctor sighed and replied: "By then, you may be taken away by heaven at any time, which will affect your life span!"

The people who came to watch the fun spread the conversation quickly.

In addition to the news that County Magistrate Ge was in poor health, the rumor also spread that he was going to step down from the position of County Magistrate.
