Fang Cheng was filled with gratitude. What a confidant! This fat girl was so nice to him.

Magistrate Cao trembled with his fat body, and said carefully: "Don't do it, let's talk it over. I am just here to check, and I will definitely not wrongly accuse you."

The bun vendor asked, "How did you know there was something wrong with my buns?"

County Magistrate Cao looked at Shen Nanzhi. She turned around and ran away. If she didn't run away now, would she wait for revenge from the stall owner?

What if he has a powerful family member who comes to find me?

Wu Dalang also has a very powerful younger brother. He kills people so many times that the blood flows like a river. It's so scary.

Magistrate Cao is really unreliable and has no sense of responsibility at all. He is a useless magistrate.

She cursed Magistrate Cao, and Magistrate Cao cursed her back. It was amazing that she could run so fast with all that fat on her body.

"That's not important. Was that bun really made of human flesh? You, how could you be so cruel? Who did you kill?"

The bun vendor laughed loudly: "Who could it be? That unfaithful bitch, she actually cheated on me. If it was you, would you be able to tolerate it?"

"No, no man can tolerate this. All bitches deserve to die."

“My Lord is sensible, but it’s a pity that the adulterer escaped, and the bitch still defended the adulterer and thought I was ugly.

Why doesn't she say that I worked so hard to earn money for her, and raised her to be so tender and beautiful, and never let her suffer any hardship? Why did I do that?"

There were many people around watching the fun from afar and felt quite sympathetic towards the stall owner. The woman really deserved to die. The stall owner sold buns in the wind and rain and the people were all quite familiar with him. He was an honest man.

The county magistrate said, "It's not easy for you either. So, let me go. Your case is special. I will definitely help you get justice and punish the adulterer."

The stall owner was a little tempted: "But if I kill my wife, won't I die?"

"This one……"

Magistrate Cao didn't dare to promise him. So many people were listening. If his superiors heard it, he would be even more miserable.

"You lied to me too, didn't you?"

"No, no, you did kill someone after all, so you must be sentenced according to the law. I cannot bend the law for personal gain, but I promise that I will never wrongly accuse you. If you surrender voluntarily, I will reduce your sentence."

The stall owner hesitated, and the county magistrate winked at his subordinates, asking them to rescue him quickly.

You all usually brag that you are like gods, but are you at a loss when encountering problems?

The officers' eyes flickered, and they didn't dare to look at the county magistrate. But the lawyer stared at him with wide eyes, but the county magistrate couldn't understand: "Master, what do you mean? Just tell me."

The master slapped his thigh anxiously, and the stall owners looked at him, "What do you want to do?"

The magistrate of Cao County was so moved that he said, "He is my master's advisor. He wants to be a hostage for me. He is such a good master's advisor. I am so touched. I will definitely give you a bonus."

Master: "..."

Damn it, that’s not what he meant, Dong Weng, you are not a human being!

Suddenly, the lawyer covered his eyes. When Magistrate Cao was confused, a strong wind blew from behind his head, and the stall owner was hit on the back of the head by a stick, followed by a hit on the wrist. The dagger fell to the ground and was kicked far away.

Magistrate Cao bumped into a broad and warm heart. Was he being saved?

"Which warrior took action?"

Shen Nanzhi was so angry that he threw him out, "Who is the warrior?"

Hearing the familiar voice, Magistrate Cao laughed dryly: "It's you, didn't you run away?"

"You're going to betray me, so why don't I run away and be buried with you?"

"Then why did you come back? The county had no choice but to do this. We can't really sell you off. Isn't this a temporary solution?"

Shen Nanzhi didn't want to talk. The roads in this county town were all interconnected. She couldn't say that she took the wrong road and ended up behind them?

This is a godsend opportunity. Shen Nanzhi still wants to get on good terms with the county magistrate. After all, in the county, he is the local emperor. Even if he can act arrogantly, he can still be asked for help if anything goes wrong.

She wanted this life-saving grace.

Shen Nanzhi acted decisively, and the original owner's pig-killing skills were not inferior, so he subdued the stall owner in a few moves.

"Sir, the prisoner has been beheaded."

"You still have the nerve to say that? Did you catch her? It was this... girl, what's her name?"

"My last name is Shen, Shen Nanzhi."

"Hello, Miss Shen. You are quite skilled, but it's a pity that you are a girl. Our county government is in need of experts like you."

Shen Nanzhi smiled and said, "It's okay. If the county government needs me, I can come and work for you. Killing pigs is my specialty, and dealing with criminals is no problem. You don't have to treat me like a woman."

County Magistrate Cao laughed dryly, "The girl is not inferior to the boy, that's true, but we can't break the rules. I'm going to try the criminals in this county, so I'll go back to the county office first."

"My lord, you are busy. If you have anything to tell me, I will never hesitate. Remember that I have done a great deed and saved you. Just give me a hundred or eighty taels of silver."

Magistrate Cao staggered and nearly fell. She was really rude. Where could he get so much money?

"It has to be approved by higher authorities. The county has no say on this."

County Magistrate Cao is a veteran who pushes everything upwards.

Shen Nanzhi waved his hand: "My Lord, please take care."

Magistrate Cao walked very fast, as if a dog was chasing him.

Shen Nanzhi felt a little regretful: "Sir Cao, do you want to deny this life-saving favor? Officials are full of crooked ideas. I hate being an official."

"Miss Shen, you were really impressive just now. You can tell from your practice that you used those sticks."

"No, I've killed so many pigs that I'm just used to it."

"Girl, do you know this? Have you ever read a book?"

Shen Nanzhi thought he was being noisy, "Are you okay? Don't you need to go to school?"

"It's a day off today, and I have nothing to do. What are you going to do, young lady? I can help you run some errands."

"You have thin arms and legs, I dare not use you."

Shen Nanzhi still asked: "Where do people go to buy vegetables and meat in the county?"

"There are two vegetable markets, the North Market and the South Market. There are more poor people in the south, while the rich people buy in the north."

"You know quite a bit."

"In my spare time, I go to the north market to do some odd jobs. You're right to ask me."

"Sure, you're still working and studying."

"I have no choice. My family is poor and I have to support myself."

Shen Nanzhi went to the North Market. As soon as she entered, she met an acquaintance. "Nanzhi girl, why are you here? Are your in-laws treating you well?"

"Uncle Niu? That's fine. I'll come over for a look. Is your house okay?"

"Everything is fine. Please sit for a while. When Uncle Niu finishes selling this, I will invite you to my house for dinner."

This Uncle Niu was a friend of Shen Nanzhi’s father. Shen Nanzhi was also familiar with him, but after marrying into the Jiang family, she stopped interacting with those uncles and aunts of Shen’s father’s family, perhaps because she was afraid of causing trouble for them.

Shen Nanzhi would not think so. She thought that it would be a waste to make use of the ready-made relationships, as these were all her family members.

In the future, when she has to fight with the Jiang family and take back her dowry, these people from her family will have to help.

Shen Nanzhi's smile became even more enthusiastic when he looked at Uncle Niu.

Uncle Niu felt that the child had become much prettier after not seeing her for more than two years, and seemed to have lost some weight as well. The child must have suffered a lot.

Uncle Niu felt distressed, thinking about Father Shen. He would not allow his only daughter to live a bad life. If the Jiang family dared to bully his niece, he would chop up their entire family.

Shen Nanzhi didn't know that Uncle Niu was so violent, but his loving eyes were very real and warmed her heart.

Fang Cheng said: "Miss Shen, you have met an acquaintance, so I will take my leave first."

"Okay, let's go."

"If you have any problems, you can come to the academy to find me. I will try my best to help."

"Okay, go back. You are so thoughtful. Thank you."

He is a weak person, yet he likes to meddle in other people's affairs.

Uncle Niu looked Fang Cheng up and down. His niece still liked this weak man. Could it be that she had fallen in love with someone else?
