Shi Shuang looked up at the stars in the sky. The wind blew through her veil, revealing her watery eyes.

In modern times, we can't see so many stars.

Before the end of the world, the moon was red, but the moon is still more beautiful now.

"It's so pretty."

"It's been raining these days, so it's rare to see the stars." Gardenia nodded and followed the young lady.

Xie Ningzi raised her head obediently, "It's so beautiful."

Yao Lang and Kong Lian'er walked behind, looking at each other from time to time, their eyes filled with unbreakable pink bubbles.

The moon waxes and wanes, and people have joys and sorrows.

But at this moment, everyone in Qingyuan Town fell asleep happily, longing for a long life.

The news spread overnight.

A large number of people and merchants could not contain their anxiety and curiosity, and rushed here day and night.

It's just dawn.

The county magistrate arrived. He swaggered up to the charity grain fair in his sedan chair. The people lowered their heads, fearing that they would be arrested for no reason.

He walked around aimlessly with his hands behind his back.

"Hey, little beauty, are you married? Do you want to come back and live with me?"

"No, no, sir, please spare me." The woman in coarse linen clothes knelt on the ground and begged for mercy in panic.

She missed it yesterday and wanted to buy food today, but she met the lecherous county magistrate.

What bad luck! What bad luck!

If I had known earlier, I would not have come out and would have just waited to starve to death at home!

Fang Ren walked over, clasped his fists and said, "Sir, the boss lets you in." His attitude was indifferent. He didn't have a good impression of the county magistrate, but he didn't dare to offend him. After all, he was working under his nose.

The county magistrate looked Fang Ren up and down, pointed at him, and instructed him up and down.

"Oh, your name is Fang Ren, and you are a diligent and capable official. Great, great, I didn't expect you to know such a powerful person. Don't worry, I will not forget you when I become successful."

As soon as Hong Fu arrived, he saw the county magistrate walking into the grain shop opposite with a smile on his face, and he spat.

"Dog officer!"

He admitted that he was a crooked businessman, but he also hated corrupt officials.

Xiao Hezi scratched his head and said, "Boss, what should we do? Even the county magistrate has gone to the store across the street."

Hongfu gave a meaningful smile.

"Don't worry. It's no good if you are targeted by the county magistrate. Ma Jinshui has nothing to do except blackmailing and threatening to get some money."

That’s great, that little bit of money that the mysterious boss earned.

They will soon be abducted by the county magistrate. When he first arrived, he was also tricked by the county magistrate.

Xiao Hezi put his hands in his sleeves, leaned against the door, looked across, ready to watch the show.

A screen divides the inner room into two.

The county magistrate snorted coldly. Are you playing mystery with him? Through the screen, he could see a beautiful woman inside.

He rubbed his hands together, "Girl, am I over there?"

"Stop!" Gardenia stopped him, "Just stand there and talk to the boss!"

The county magistrate's face turned cold and he scolded.

"How dare you! How dare you speak to me like that? Wait till I catch you and see how I'll deal with you!"

There was a hint of greed in his vicious eyes. The little girl seemed to be pretty. He ignored the dissuasion and walked forward.

Shi Shuang said indifferently: "Why, the county magistrate's one thousand taels of silver were spent so quickly?"

Hmm? One thousand taels?

The county magistrate stopped and suddenly remembered something. He raised his trembling fingers and asked in disbelief.

"You, you are that person!"

"Yes." Shi Shuang raised the corner of his mouth. "There is a chair in front of you. If you have anything to say, you can sit down and discuss it with me. But if you take another step forward, I will throw you out."

The county magistrate looked at the wooden chair, clenched his fist and asked, "I am the county magistrate."

Shi Shuang said calmly: "I'm not afraid of you."

The county magistrate was a bad official, why should she be so servile and subservient to him in exchange for his further advances? There was no need to show respect, either, as that was for a good official with clean hands!

The county magistrate thought about it and sat down on the wooden chair.

He asked curiously, "Who are you? I have been in this town for so many years, how come I have never heard of you?"

"From Shengjing." Shi Shuang did not say it, but she knew that these four words were enough to shock the county magistrate.

Sure enough, the county magistrate's face suddenly changed.

She came from Shengjing with silver and food. She must be the daughter of some high-ranking official, he stood up quickly and said.

"Oh, I didn't know your lady was coming. I'm sorry for not welcoming you. If there's anything I can help you with, please let me know."

He guessed that there were not many loyal ministers in Shengjing now.

There are probably only a few people who have such strength. The lady in front of you is most likely the daughter of an old family.

Shi Shuang was not polite either, "I need a list of names from the surrounding towns, the sooner the better."

The county magistrate bowed and said respectfully.

"I'll arrange it right away and send it over here with you in a moment."

Looking at the county magistrate's anxious back, Gardenia smiled secretly and said, "Miss, you are really amazing."

"When you are away from home, you give your own identity." Shi Shuang rubbed his eyebrows and said helplessly.

The county magistrate left as if he were in spring breeze.

Hong Fu was stunned, and the small teapot in his hand fell to the ground again. He murmured, "Why is the county magistrate so happy?"

"It means that the county magistrate has gained benefits." Xiao Hezi explained.

Hong Fu nodded and said, "You make sense. I'm waiting for the day when she goes bankrupt."

It wasn't until dark that we finished the work.

Lan Tian cleaned up the food. She frowned and said, "Boss, many people from the surrounding towns are here. I'm afraid there won't be enough food."

Shi Shuang smiled.

"It's okay. I'll have someone move some food here tomorrow. Just take care of the shop."

When I returned home, Xie Wei was practicing walking slowly in the yard.

He heard the noise and slowly turned around. He saw Shi Shuang coming back with a smile on his face. He looked like a little old man, slowly moving towards him.

"A Shuang, your hands are so cold."

Shi Shuang's eyes sparkled, and she tilted her head and said, "I feel cold, so I'll rely on you tonight?"

"Okay." Xie Wei's voice was hoarse.

Hearing such an obvious hint, his Adam's apple rolled and a warm feeling surged in his heart. In the past few days, Ah Shuang had been nestling in his arms. Perhaps his legs were getting better and his body temperature was gradually recovering.

Shi Shuang couldn't do anything about it, because men are like little stoves.

Winter is coming soon, it must be comfortable to hug.

-

In a dark corner of the palace, stood two ministers with gloomy faces.

"What on earth was the Zhou family thinking? They actually helped the Xie family overturn the case!"

"I heard that someone saw Xie Guzong. He might still be alive. The emperor's decree will arrive soon. If he comes back, we will be in trouble."

"I can help you delay the announcement of the imperial decree for one day..."

"Then I will take advantage of this day to find the Xie family and kill them all!"

"..."

On the outskirts of Qingyuan County.

Gao Zhe helped the pale-faced Shi Qing out of the carriage with concern, and he considerately handed him some hot water.

"Qing'er, are you okay? Are you tired?"

"No, it's okay." Shi Qing just waved his hand and put it down, feeling uncomfortable in his heart and vomiting behind him.

She leaned weakly in the man's arms.

Gao Zhe asked: "Qing'er! Qing'er! I'll take you back to Shengjing."

"No." Shi Qing tightly grasped Gao Zhe's collar and shook his head, "As long as I can see my sister, I am willing to endure any hardship or fatigue."

Zhou Yao looked at the two of them, disdain flashed in her eyes, and said lightly.

"Let's go quickly. It's only half an hour away."

The man in her memory slowly appeared before her eyes, and her heart began to beat fast.
