Traveling through ancient times to survive

Zhao Chengshan was shocked. Yes, they were both the same. He was free and at ease these days. He had never thought of visiting his parents because his wife was in the county. He felt relieved. But he didn't know that his parents were tortured by this vicious woman.

Zhao Chengshan's eyes were fierce: "Evil woman, I'm going to divorce you!"

Mrs. Zhao panicked for a moment, but soon regained her confidence when she thought of her son: "Humph, who would be willing to serve you, a piece of trash! If you want to rest, hurry up."

"Stop arguing! Now that our parents' funeral is over, you can do whatever you want." Zhao Chengchuan said word by word, his calm expression concealing intense emotions like a volcanic eruption.

The two people who were arguing shut up and the room became quiet again. After a while, Zhao Chengchuan suppressed his anger and asked, "Where is Zhao Decheng? His grandparents who loved him so much are gone, and he didn't even show up?"

Mrs. Zhao patted her forehead and said, "It's my fault. I forgot to inform him. He should still be on duty at the government office. I don't know. I'll go call him now."

Zhao Decheng was stunned when he got the news. Then he tried hard to squeeze out tears, pretended to be heartbroken, and hurriedly asked for leave from Shangguan to go home.

Before he entered the door, Zhao Decheng's crying could be heard. Seeing the bodies of the two elders, he cried again and regretted, confessing his sins. Unfortunately, who stood here didn't understand who? They watched Zhao Decheng's performance indifferently until he couldn't cry anymore.

A few people held the funeral of the two elders in a low-key manner and buried them in the newly designated cemetery in the village.

As agreed, Zhao Chengshan asked the clan leader to write a divorce letter and handed it to Zhao Dasao. Not only that, he announced in front of all the villagers that he would sever ties with Zhao Decheng and completely cut off all ties with them.

Zhao Decheng was furious. He felt deeply humiliated. "Okay, okay! From now on, we are no longer related as father and son!"

After saying these harsh words, he returned to the county with his mother in shame amid everyone's cold and unhappy looks.

Zhao Decheng was just about to regroup, work hard, and make great achievements in his career so as to make the ignorant people in the village regret their actions.

To make matters worse, the matter of his false claim to credit was reported to the county magistrate. Zhao Decheng was furious that Zhao Chengchuan had broken his promise, but his mind was frantically racing about how he could escape the blame.

"Please spare my life, sir. This grain seed was actually obtained by my younger sister, but the village chief secretly seized the grain seed and refused to pass it on. I saw that the people in the world have suffered from famine for a long time, and the grain seed that can save the world is right in front of us, but because of the selfish desires of some people, it cannot be used. I can't care about many things and can only risk my life to come and donate the grain. I know I am guilty, please punish me, sir."

Faced with the crisis of life and death, Zhao Decheng's mind worked quickly. He pretended to be righteous and awe-inspiring, retreating to advance, and packaging himself as a righteous man who was not afraid of power and was willing to sacrifice himself for justice.

If he hadn't known the truth, County Magistrate Wei would have been moved by Zhao Decheng's performance. County Magistrate Wei looked carefully at the man in front of him, wanting to see what he looked like. His face was thicker than a city wall, and he was still talking nonsense even though he was about to die.

Zhao Decheng's heart was beating like thunder, his hands were shaking slightly under his clothes, but his face maintained a righteous expression.

Magistrate Wei was amazed by the superb acting skills and he started clapping his hands.

Zhao Decheng thought that the county magistrate believed what he said, and he felt relieved and a smile appeared on his face.

"Your shamelessness is simply astounding to me."

The smile on Zhao Decheng's face froze: "Sir, what do you mean?"

"You really won't give up until you reach the Yellow River! I'm not afraid to tell you that the day after you donated the grain, villagers from Xinyuan Village brought a large amount of grain seeds to offer to me."

Zhao Decheng felt dizzy. It turned out that the county magistrate had known about this for a long time. It was ridiculous that he was worried every day about this secret that was not a secret.

Zhao Decheng burst into laughter. He knew that he was doomed today, so he decided to throw the can into the air: "Since you have known about this for a long time, why did you reveal it today? Doesn't it make you happy to play with people like monkeys?"

County Magistrate Wei looked at Zhao Decheng strangely and said, "I don't have the time to spare."

Zhao Decheng was stunned. So in the eyes of others, he was not even worthy of being played with?

"Why is that?"

County Magistrate Wei kindly explained, "Because you were born into a good family, you have a cousin who is the reincarnation of a true immortal. I have to give him some face."

Zhao Decheng was stunned. He had never expected that Zhao Qing, the rebellious girl, would have such a high status in the eyes of the county magistrate. How could she be so worthy of such a position? Could it be that she relied on her mediocre martial arts?

The world has changed a long time ago, but Zhao Decheng is still immersed in the era when literature is respected. Even though Zhao Qing and the villagers have safely escaped many dangers, Zhao Decheng still looks down on the vulgar warriors from the bottom of his heart.

However, since the county magistrate was afraid of Zhao Qing, he might be able to escape punishment by using Zhao Qing's banner. Zhao Decheng regained his confidence.

"Since you know that my cousin is the reincarnation of a true immortal, why are you doing this now? Aren't you afraid that my cousin will be dissatisfied?"

County Magistrate Wei almost couldn't hold back and laughed out loud on the spot. Heng'er was right, this man was an extremely stupid fool. His previous righteous performance was probably a rare moment in his life when his brain became sharp.

County Magistrate Wei had already laid bare his cards, but Zhao Decheng was still dreaming and wanted to threaten him with a master? If it was useful, why would County Magistrate Wei have to expose the matter of the counterfeit merit and let Zhao Decheng continue to stay in the government office? Why bother with this unnecessary move?

County Magistrate Wei lost interest in continuing the conversation with Zhao Decheng and quickly revealed the reality: "The master is unwilling to recognize you. The people in the village will drive your family out as soon as they know about it. But your grandparents have status and righteousness, so it is better for you to move to the county town on your own initiative. If your grandparents were still alive, you could indeed continue to work in the government office. In order to prevent your grandparents from harassing the master's family, I cannot let your family starve to death. Unfortunately, you are stupid enough to take the initiative to tear off the amulet on your body."

Zhao Decheng was struck by lightning, he could never have imagined that things would turn out like this. In his eyes, his grandparents, who had long been useless, were the guarantee of his job.

At this moment, Zhao Decheng felt truly regretful and could not help but feel resentment towards his mother. It was because of her vicious mind that she could not tolerate his grandparents, which led to the early death of the two healthy elders.

Zhao Decheng cried out loudly, "No! You misunderstood, this is not my fault. I was also very sad when my grandparents passed away. They were my grandparents who always loved me with all their heart. It was my fault that I didn't keep an eye on my mother, but I didn't know she had such a big grudge against my grandparents."
