The Female Assistant of Wei Yuyan Shuangfei

After dealing with the corpse, the group took a short rest and then rode at full speed to enter the city gate of Laigu County before 11 p.m.

Now that the county lieutenant of Laigu County was in collusion with bandits, all the leadership teams in the yamen were implicated. Xie Tingwen really didn't dare to live in the county yamen, so under Song Zhen's arrangement, he moved into a courtyard prepared in advance.

It was a sleepless night, and everyone in each room had their own thoughts. They stayed up all night holding candles and looking at each other through the window.

Xie Shuting sat at her desk, furiously writing down a policy proposal for the governance of Laigu County, while Lian Xi carefully served her by her side. After all, it was already autumn and the nights were often chilly.

Lian Xi looked at the vividly emerging hairpin flower small regular script and couldn't help but exclaimed: "Miss! Your handwriting is getting more and more beautiful. It's a pleasure to see it every time."

"You! When did you learn to be so smooth-talking? If you keep on being like this, why don't you go to Bian Jing to help Lian Yue?"

Lian Xi didn't dare to say anything when she heard that. She put the hot water bottle she had prepared on the table with a pouty look on her face, which made Xie Shuting shake her head repeatedly.

"Okay! I won't tease you anymore. I also need someone by my side. If I leave you, who will help me with these trivial matters?"

As Xie Shuting spoke, she held the hot water bottle in her hands, feeling the warmth in her arms, and the chill of the night was instantly dispelled.

Lian Xi changed his aggrieved look and happily sorted out the letter and put it into the envelope. He helped Xie Shuting up and said, "Miss! How are you going to arrange the escort agency?"

"Let them live here first. Father should be able to make arrangements for the future." Xie Shuting said softly, looking at the envelope on the table.

The master and servant left the study one after another. As soon as they went out, they saw that the other guest rooms in the courtyard were still brightly lit, and they understood everything.

Lian Xi glanced at Xie Tingwen's room, then looked at his young lady and said, "Miss! Why don't you go sit with the master? The master should be waiting for you."

"No! Father should be thinking about the affairs of the government office. I can't help with these matters, so I won't go over and cause trouble." While speaking, Xie Shuting led Lian Xi back to her room.

Just as Xie Shuting had expected, Xie Tingwen in the room at this time, looking at the memorial that had been drafted in his hands, could not calm down for a long time.

Laigu County is not small, but based on what the county lieutenant Liu Qing did, he did not believe that the people in the government office had not noticed it. However, if this memorial was submitted, the consequences could be imagined.

Not to mention alerting the Ministry of Justice in Bian Jing, he was afraid that his immediate superior would come to question him first, which would do him no good, or might even put him in danger.

"If this memorial is submitted, it will probably cause a lot of trouble. But if the reason is not stated, I'm afraid..."

With this in mind, Xie Tingwen casually placed the memorial he had prepared on the candle and let it burn, then picked up the pen and began to write another memorial with a deeper meaning.

Song Zhen's room was also brightly lit. Lying on the bed, he was still thinking about the purpose of Lianhua Tower's efforts to protect Mr. Xie's family.

"Who is she?" Song Zhen muttered to himself.

Whenever he thought of Xie Shuting's figure, he always felt inexplicably familiar with her, or perhaps he had seen her back in the Lotus Tower in Bian Jing a few years ago.

After a sleepless night, with the crowing of roosters, the quiet courtyard began to get busy again. The escorts were doing their own work and had no further entanglement with Xie Tingwen's family.

Xie Tingwen got up early and after practicing a set of health-preserving boxing, he suddenly felt full of energy, and all the worries of the night disappeared in an instant.

He took the handkerchief handed to him by Uncle Qin, wiped the sweat off it and said, "Uncle Qin! How is your injury?"

"Thank you for your concern, sir. I'm fine now thanks to the medicine prescribed by Huichuntang." Uncle Qin responded.

Xie Tingwen nodded and returned to the living room. Xie Shuting was already waiting for him in the living room. When she saw Xie Tingwen, she quickly bowed and said, "Father!"

"Master!" Lian Xi hurriedly responded.

"Well! Get up."

As Xie Tingwen was talking, he took the main seat, took a sip of tea leisurely and said, "Today, your father has to go to the government office to check the seal. You can go to the government office to live after everything is done."

"I will follow my father's instructions."

Xie Shuting responded obediently, and suddenly changed the subject: "Father! Your daughter has something to ask of you."

Xie Tingwen raised his eyes and asked with a strange look on his face, "What's the matter? Just tell me."

"My daughter wants to open a clinic in Laigu County."

Xie Shuting glanced at Xie Tingwen, and seeing that the other party did not object, she hurriedly continued: "Since ancient times, it has been difficult for ordinary people to seek medical treatment. My father is the county magistrate here, and I also want to do something for my father's political achievements."

Xie Tingwen hesitated for a moment and said, "It's a good idea. But opening a clinic requires a lot of initial investment, so this matter needs to be considered in the long run."

"Daughter understands." Xie Shuting responded and nodded slightly, "As long as father agrees, daughter will take care of the rest."

Xie Tingwen was very pleased to see his daughter's confident look. He knew his daughter's temperament, and if she was not a woman, it would not be too much for him to serve as a prime minister.

"Well, since you have such ambition, your father will certainly support you. If you need any help, just ask." Xie Tingwen spoke again to resolve Xie Shuting's concerns.

After all, it is easier to be an official if you have someone in the court, and it is easier to do business if you have someone in the court. Although the county magistrate is not high-ranking, he is a veritable "local emperor" in this small county.

The father and daughter chatted for a while until the sun was high in the sky. Then Xie Tingwen got up and took Uncle Qin to the government office.

Xie Shuting also took Lian Xi to stroll around Laigu County and began to select a location for the clinic. The master and servant were very busy.

Outside the Laigu County government office, Xie Tingwen and Uncle Qin looked at the empty gate of the government office and couldn't help but frown.

Xie Tingwen pondered for a moment, then led Uncle Qin into the county government office one after the other. The originally quiet government office was suddenly filled with noise as the two went deeper.

"Has County Magistrate Liu not come back yet? I want to file a complaint. I want to file a complaint." A woman said with a little tear in her eyes.

Now that the person in charge of the county government was not there, the yamen runners were also in great distress. One of the older men, who seemed somewhat decent, sighed and helped the woman up.

"Sister Cao! County Magistrate Liu is not here now, so we can't make decisions on anything in the county office. How about you come back the next day?"

"Master Sun! You are in charge of the Criminal Court. You have the final say on this matter for me. You have the final say on this matter." The woman surnamed Cao cried.

Her voice was full of despair and helplessness. Director Sun seemed a little embarrassed. He looked at the woman surnamed Cao with sympathy and helplessness in his eyes.

"But Sister Cao, I'm just a clerk. Without a warrant from my superiors, I can't get involved in this matter." Master Sun said with a little embarrassment.

Xie Tingwen looked at the situation in front of him. Although he didn't know the cause, he roughly understood it. The woman surnamed Cao wanted to file a complaint, but the current leadership team of the Laigu County government was not qualified to try the case.
