On the day of the granted marriage, the daughter of a general wept and was reborn!

Cen Xiao coughed lightly and raised his eyebrows.

"You fight for the people, but you also fight for the court. Prince, if you want to continue, you need to think clearly about the interests involved."

Shen Wantang sat up slowly and spoke earnestly.

Suddenly seeing Shen Wantang so serious, Cen Xiao put away the arrogance on his face.

"Local officials are so attentive, and officials in the capital are even more so. Your Highness must be more cautious in the future and speak less in the court. The more you speak, the more mistakes you make."

Somehow, as Shen Wantang spoke, her tears blurred her vision.

She hurriedly lowered her head to hide the darkness in her eyes.

"You were by my side today, did you see clearly what I did?" After the tears in her eyes faded away, she slowly raised her head and looked at Cen Xiao with sharp eyes.

Cen Xiao nodded.

Shen Wantang then breathed a sigh of relief - this was all he could do to help now. After they returned to the capital, they would probably no longer have any interactions.

Suddenly there was a hurried knock on the door.

The door opened and the deputy general appeared at the door, panting.

"Miss Shen, it's just as you said." The deputy general came in and didn't even bother to use the teacup. He started drinking water directly from the teapot.

"The farmers nearby have a fairly average opinion of Magistrate Jiang, but the merchants nearby are full of praise for Magistrate Jiang," the deputy general explained in detail.

"Anyone who wants to do business within the jurisdiction of Mo County can register with the county government. However, they have to pay money to the county government every year. They say that this is..." When it came to the key point, the deputy general suddenly stopped.

Shen Wantang was the first to speak: "Dividends."

"Right, right, right!" The deputy general suddenly understood, "It means dividends! That's why there are so many people doing business around Mo County."

"But Miss Shen, there is one thing I don't understand. How do you know all this?" The deputy general scratched his head, confused.

"I have heard of this County Magistrate Jiang. He is from Suyang County. The people there have been merchants for generations. Doing business is ingrained in their bones. If the officials in the court can buy it, I am afraid that all the civil and military officials in the court are from Suyang County."

Shen Wantang explained it in detail, but this was only what she had heard from General Shen. As for the business skills of the people in Suyang County, she did not know it before. But now that she had seen County Magistrate Jiang, she had an impression of it.

"Then should we..." The deputy general frowned, and his carefree look instantly turned into murderous.

But before he could finish his words, a slap landed on his head, turning him back to his original form.

"You can even think of murdering an imperial official. Don't even mention that I brought this person here. My Zhenbei Marquis Mansion can't afford to lose this person." Cen Xiao rebuked harshly.

"He did business, but he didn't abuse his power. That day, I saw the case file of brother Luohan. That year was the year when the previous county magistrate of Mo County retired. At that time, Qingshui County was not under the jurisdiction of Mo County. It was only later that it was added here." Shen Wantang frowned.

Somehow, I felt an inexplicable heartache.

Today, the county magistrate who examined the Luohan case has also retired.

Why do good people not get good rewards and stir up trouble, while people from bad families can live a prosperous life?

After the words were spoken, the room was silent for a long time.

Never mind. There aren’t so many whys in this world. Unjust cases happen every day. Shen Wantang is just a daughter of a military officer. There is very little she can do.

"Get ready and set off for Hong County tomorrow." After a long time, Shen Wantang raised his head.

Cen Xiao's gaze fell on Shen Wantang. He looked at her for a long time, and his brows couldn't help but tighten.

Then, he looked at the deputy general with an impatient look. The deputy general understood what he meant, stood up and walked out of the room.

There is always a kind of natural compassion in the girl's eyes. He doesn't know what she has been through to become like this.

At her age, she looks sad all the time. Since the first time I met her, she seems to have never smiled at me.

He didn't understand.

"Have a good rest."

Maybe she was a little tired. Cen Xiao spoke slowly, left a word of advice, and then turned and left.

When the door slowly closed, Shen Wantang's tears burst out again.

It doesn’t matter, as long as the person I love can have a good end, it’s enough.

The next morning, Shen Wantang woke up early.

After dressing up, she went to the county government office.

County Magistrate Jiang had been waiting outside the county government office since early in the morning. He still had a flattering smile on his face and came forward to lead the way. "Sir Shen, there has been some progress on what you ordered yesterday. I have compiled it into a book. Please take a look."

Lead Shen Wantang to the study.

"Thank you for your concern, Lord Jiang. Since I have chosen to trust you, I will not interfere too much. I just want to ask one thing." Glancing at the booklet, Shen Wantang smiled calmly, "The old woman who came to the classroom to cry yesterday."

Shen Wantang only mentioned it once, and County Magistrate Jiang understood.

"The old woman's daughter has been found. The villain did not succeed, but the girl was very frightened." County Magistrate Jiang frowned.

Upon hearing this, Shen Wantang's brows sank.

He took out his purse and handed it to the county magistrate: "The girl needs money for treatment, this is a small gift from me."

"No, no, no!" Magistrate Jiang waved his hands repeatedly, his face instantly turning pale. "How can I take your money? Don't worry, I've hired the best doctor in the city to treat you!"

Shen Wantang withdrew his hand.

"Tonight, I will continue on my journey." Shen Wantang sat down slowly and spoke.

County Magistrate Jiang frowned and was shocked.

"Why are you so anxious? Lord Shen, why don't you stay a few more days?" It's unclear whether the disappointment in County Magistrate Jiang's eyes was acted, but it looked real.

"The emperor's order cannot be disobeyed. There are still many counties that need to be inspected. We can't waste time." Shen Wantang responded with ease.

County Magistrate Jiang frowned and his eyes turned red - if this was an act, it really looked very conspicuous.

"But Magistrate Jiang, there is one thing I don't understand." Shen Wantang slowly put down the teacup in his hand.

"Just say it." He quickly raised his head and raised his sleeves to wipe his tears. His action was so exaggerated that the deputy general beside him smiled contemptuously.

"Which lord in the imperial court in the capital told you this news when I came to Mo County this time?"

Shen Wantang spoke neither hurriedly nor slowly, but the aggression in his tone was obvious.

As soon as he finished speaking, the county magistrate stood there in a daze. His red face instantly turned pale with fright, and the fat on his face began to tremble.

"S-Sir..."

Shen Wantang was not a person who would swallow his anger after his identity was inexplicably revealed. Even though he was now in Mo County and out of reach, there would be plenty of time to slowly settle the accounts in the future.

Beads of sweat appeared on the county magistrate's forehead, and the tears that had not flowed just now now turned into sweat and fell down.
