Lin Dai left the village and flew all the way to Suhe County, the county seat to which Zhuangjia Village belonged. The situation in Suhe County was better than that in Qinghe County. Zhang Da, the county magistrate of Suhe County, was not a corrupt official, but he was not a smart man either. The reason why he could become the county magistrate was that his family spent a lot of money to buy him.

Before Zhang Da became an official, his family was a small landlord. His family raised him to be fat and white. Before that, people always called him a small landlord. He ate when he was full and slept when he was full, and slept when he was full and ate when he was full. He was good-for-nothing like a big sow.

Zhang Da was very angry and decided to make them look bad and that he would achieve something, so he threw a tantrum and asked his family to buy him a county magistrate. His own master Liu Qian was his good friend, but Zhang Da only considered him a good friend. Liu Qian was attracted by his financial resources and followed him around to flatter him all day long.

After Zhang Da became the county magistrate, he recommended himself to be the legal advisor and often gave Zhang Da advice. In fact, he was just fooling Zhang Da. Not only did he collude with bandits behind the scenes, he also secretly asked people to collect protection fees and open casinos.

Before, when Zhang Da led people to suppress the bandits, it was Liu Qian who came up with the bad idea and told Zhang Da how to suppress the bandits. However, he tipped off the bandits in secret, so that the bandits were not discovered. Zhang Da just made a circle in the mountains and went back.

Lin Dai felt that this task was not difficult. Zhang Da could be easily solved, and Liu Qian was all show and no use. However, Lin Dai still decided to use her ultimate move.

When Lin Dai arrived at the city gate, it was already closed. After observing for a while, she flew in and went straight to Zhang Da's residence in the county government. Lin Dai found that Zhang Da's residence was very ordinary, not luxurious. It seemed that Zhang Da really wanted to be a good official, but it was a pity that he was not greedy and someone helped him to be greedy.

"Chubby, where is Zhang Da now?"

"Zhang Da is writing in the study." The system said with disdain.

"Writing? Do you know the reason?" Lin Dai was still very curious about this. He was not handling official business or playing outside, but was writing in the study.

"It's what Liu Qian said, that good officials who love the people often stay up late to handle affairs. But after Zhang Da took office as the county magistrate, the people rarely asked him to do things for them, and they didn't believe he could do it well, so he was basically idle. In order to pretend to be busy doing things for the people, Liu Qian came up with a bad idea and asked him to pretend to be in the study every night, while he went out to eat, drink and have fun."

Lin Dai was speechless after hearing this, but it would be easier to do things this way.

Lin Dai came to the study quietly. Zhang Da was writing very seriously but he seemed a little impatient when you looked closely.

"The handwriting is not very good." Lin Dai came up behind Zhang Da and suddenly said something, which scared Zhang Da so much that he stood up and lay on the table, spilling the ink.

He quickly stood up and ran to the side and said fearfully: "Who are you? Someone, there is an assassin."

"Shut up, or I'll kill you." Lin Dai threatened him, and Zhang Da immediately shut his mouth.

Seeing that he shut up obediently, Lin Dai sat on the chair, opened the fan and fanned herself, saying, "Don't be nervous. I am not a bad person and I will not kill you." After a pause, she continued, "Do you want to know why I came to see you?"

Zhang Da nodded tremblingly, and Lin Dai said slowly, "Pour me a cup of tea."

Zhang Da immediately took out a clean cup and poured a glass of wine and placed it on the desk. Lin Dai picked up the cup and took a sip, then put it down and said slowly, "I heard that Mr. Zhang was from a landlord's family before. In order to become a good official and serve the people, he asked his family to buy an official position. Is that true or not?"

Zhang Da got even more panicked after hearing this. This was an investigation into the sale of official positions. Zhang Da trembled and dared not speak. He fell to his knees with a plop. Lin Dai was shocked. Is Zhang Da so timid?

Lin Dai covered her mouth with her fist and pretended to cough, saying, "Don't be nervous, Master Zhang. I'm not sent by the higher-ups to investigate you. I heard that Master Zhang wanted to be a good official who serves the people, but he never had the chance. Is that true or not?"

Zhang Da felt better and said, "Yes, yes, I want to serve the people, but the people don't believe me, so I never have the chance to serve the people."

Lin Dai asked Zhang Da very seriously: "Do you really want to do good things for the people?"

"Of course, I must make some achievements to let those who look down on me see." Zhang Da said firmly at this time.

Lin Dai put away her fan and said, "In that case, there is one thing I need you to do. If you do it well, it will be a great deed to get rid of harm for the people."

"Really? But why should I believe you? I don't even know you and don't know where you come from." Zhang Da still knew to be a little cautious at this time, but wasn't that completely stupid?

"I wonder if Lord Zhang has heard about what happened in the nearby Qingyang County before, and the matter between the magistrate of Qinghe County and the Qian Mansion." Lin Dai was ready to reveal her true colors and let Master Wuyou's name become known quickly, and she was not afraid of any trouble.

"Of course I know this. This matter caused a lot of uproar. The county magistrate and the people in the Qian Mansion were beheaded, and the people of Qingyang County cheered. This is a great thing, but what does it have to do with what you said, young master?" Zhang Da asked.

Lin Dai was showing off again. She opened her fan and fanned herself while saying, "What does it matter? It matters a lot! Because I was the one who brought them down. It was done by me, Master Wuyou, alone."

Zhang Da looked shocked at this time and said, "How is it possible, just you? And you alone?" Zhang Da did not believe at all what this young boy who looked only a few years old said.

"That's right, just me, just me!" After saying that, he folded up the fan and disappeared from the room.

Zhang Da was so frightened that he yelled, "Ghost!" Lin Dai suddenly appeared behind him, knocked on his head and said, "Why are you yelling, you are the ghost, you have no knowledge."

Seeing Lin Dai suddenly appear again, Zhang Da was so scared that he couldn't speak.

Lin Dai could only say: "You don't believe that I can defeat them alone, so I am showing you my strength. Are you satisfied with what you see?"

Zhang Dacai asked, "How did you suddenly disappear and reappear? Who are you?"

"Who am I? Who do you think I am?" After saying that, she suddenly disappeared again, startling Zhang Da again and shouting, "Master Wuyou? Master Wuyou, are you still here?" Then Lin Dai suddenly appeared again and sat on a chair. She picked up the teacup and took a sip, saying, "Just know that I am not an ordinary person. Just listen to my promise and let your dreams come true."

Zhang Da was also a person who had never seen much of the world. He had already regarded Lin Dai as an immortal. He immediately said happily, "What is Master Wuyou going to do? Is it related to what you said before that you wanted me to help you with something?"

"That's right. I'm asking you, there are bandits harming the people in the area under your management, why don't you encircle and suppress them?" Lin Dai asked in a scolding voice.

"Bandits! I did go to encircle and suppress them, but I didn't find any bandits after searching the whole mountain." Zhang Da was very confused at this time.

Lin Dai glanced at him and said, "Humph! It would be strange if you could find the bandits. The bandits know your every move and can fool you around."

"What?" Zhang Da was so shocked that he said two words loudly, and said to himself: "How could it be? This bandit is so powerful?"

"What a bullshit! Only a fool like you who is fooled and flattered by others all day long would not know. Let me ask you, where is your master? Have you ever thought that there is something wrong with your master Liu Qian?"

"What's the problem with Master Liu? Is he related to this?" Zhang Da was even more confused.

Lin Dai knocked Zhang Da's head with a fan, annoyed. "What does it matter? Ha! Liu Qian is colluding with bandits outside, harming the people, collecting protection fees and opening a casino in the county, bullying people. Do you think he has any problems?"

Zhang Da opened his mouth in disbelief, and after a while he came to his senses and said, "Is this true?"

Lin Dai said disdainfully: "Do you think that I can slander a small master with my ability, or that I can't find out what a small master has done with my ability!"

Zhang Da also thought it made sense, but he was a little hesitant. Seeing this, Lin Dai said, "Right? Now there is a chance to test your master, and not only that, we can also eliminate those bandits."

Zhang Da immediately asked, "Sir, please teach me!"

"Now that gang of bandits has been captured by me. Tomorrow morning you will personally lead some people to the foot of Dazhuang Mountain. When you get there, someone will lead the way to take them back to the county government office and put them all in jail. By then you will observe Master Liu's movements carefully to see if he will contact the bandits privately and find a way to release them. Of course, the premise is to keep it confidential. You cannot tell Master Liu. Do you understand? Otherwise the consequences will be serious." Lin Dai sternly warned Zhang Da and threatened him with the consequences of leaking the secret.

Zhang Da nodded repeatedly to show that he understood, and Lin Dai decided to give him a little sweetness: "Don't worry, as long as you listen to me, I guarantee that the people will not only like you as a county magistrate, but also be able to get promoted and make a fortune in the future."

Zhang Da heard this and said happily, "Okay, everything will be arranged by Master Wuyou."

The matter had been resolved, and Lin Dai was ready to leave: "In that case, I'll be leaving. Remember to go there in person tomorrow morning." After that, she disappeared in the room. Zhang Da was still not used to it and was frightened again. He tried shouting a few times, but when no one showed up, he thought she had really left.

Zhang shouted to ask if Master Liu was in the mansion. When he learned that he was not, he asked the person to leave and seemed to be thinking about something.
