Global Desertification: I am accumulating merit in another world

"No, no! This is all a misunderstanding! It was that woman who made a false accusation, and I am just about to deal with it!" The county magistrate waved his hands repeatedly.

He gave a look to the servants, and immediately someone came and took Zou away, covering her mouth.

"If you dare to falsely accuse the young lady of the Duke of Zhenguo's Mansion, drag her away immediately and exile her in the autumn."

Shen Lishu glanced at him with a half-smile, "No, that's not what the county magistrate said just now."

Shen Xingshu pulled Shen Lishu to sit aside, "Oh? What did he say just now? This prince wants to listen too."

The county magistrate wiped the cold sweat from his forehead and bent his waist like a shrimp:

"Please forgive me, my lord. I was deceived. This thief is really despicable! Miss Shen's assets are naturally legitimate!"

"This damned thief, I will definitely handle this matter impartially!"

Shen Xingshu smiled, "That's the best. We can't let a thief go."

"Yes, yes, your Excellency is wise. Your humble servant, your humble servant has prepared some small gifts to calm Miss Shen down."

Shen Xingshu looked at Shen Lishu and asked, "What do you mean?"

Shen Lishu shook his head gently

Shen Xingshu is an official appointed by the imperial court. Accepting his money is equivalent to accepting a bribe. Isn't this handing evidence to someone else?

This county magistrate is so shameless!

“It’s a small gift, but I hate being wrongly accused.

As a refugee, she wouldn't be brave enough to do that, right?"

"Yes, yes, yes!" The county magistrate wiped his sweat again and gritted his teeth. "I will definitely find out the villain who is behind this!"

Shen Xingshu spoke slowly, with a glaring threat:

"Before I left, the emperor granted me the imperial sword, which means I have the duty to execute corrupt officials, so you, the county magistrate, must handle the case well."

The county magistrate's heart trembled. It seemed that if he didn't give an explanation today, there would be no peace!

He suddenly raised his head and quickly looked at the middle-aged man beside him. In just a split second, he made a decision in his mind and waved his hand to ask someone to check.

"I'm afraid the news won't come back so quickly, so Prince and Miss, have a cup of tea first."

The two looked at each other, and Shen Lishu picked up the cup, his heart beating fast.

Did he ever realize that he was an impostor?

"Why did my brother come to the county government office?"

Shen Xingshu smiled at her lovingly, "I was not at home when you left Beijing, and I was really worried about you these days."

Shen Lishu nodded, feeling guilty and didn't dare to say anything else.

The county magistrate, on the other hand, kept trying to find things to say, but was always blocked by Shen Xingshu.

Half an hour later, the lawyer came back and whispered something in the county magistrate's ear.

The county magistrate stood up and saluted, saying, "Master, I have found out that the mayor of Anhe Town, Zhu Jia, falsely accused and framed innocent people with the intention of stealing their money."

The trafficker has now been brought back. His crime is enough to be punished by exile three thousand miles away."

It turned out to be his home...

I have heard a little about Shen Lishu.

I heard that Mayor Zhu has a daughter who is the county magistrate's concubine and is quite favored.

No wonder he looked so reluctant before.

She didn't believe that the county magistrate had no hand in this matter!

But you can't push him too hard, as your whole family still has to live under his jurisdiction.

Shen Lishu smiled sweetly, "The county magistrate put the interests of the country above his own and handled the matter impartially. I admire you."

With her words, the county magistrate finally breathed a sigh of relief.

Shen Xingshu took her out of the county government office and let them handle the rest of the matter themselves.

The sun was very strong at that time, and Taohua and the others were standing outside in the scorching sun.

Seeing that Shen Lishu was safe and sound, everyone couldn't help but relax.

When everyone saw that there was a stranger around her, they sensibly did not surround her, but just lifted the curtain and invited her to get in the carriage.

Shen Xingshu was using a folding fan to shade Shen Lishu from the sun.

She turned to look at Shen Xingshu, her eyes curved, "Brother! Let's talk in the car!"

Shen Xingshu nodded slightly, "That's fine, so as not to expose my sister to the sun."

Shen Lishu got on the carriage and stuffed the snacks into his mouth. He hadn't eaten since morning and was starving!

While eating, she passed a piece to Shen Xingshu.

"Brother, I'm so glad you're okay. You don't know how worried I was about you!"

Shen Xingshu was stunned for a moment, then slowly took the snack, a look of doubt flashing across his eyes:

"Don't worry, Li'er. I found a spy in the team, so I just faked his death. It's convenient for me to come out and do some things."

He sighed again and said, "You have suffered these days. It's my fault for not being able to stop mother..."

Shen Lishu smiled, but did not mention that she had gone to see him.

"Brother, you don't have to blame yourself, I left on my own initiative.

Besides, look at how good my life is now, I am free and can do whatever I want!"

Shen Xingshu sighed secretly and pulled off the jade pendant from his waist unhappily:

“Even a small county magistrate dares to bully you, what good is that?

This is my keepsake, if you use it for self-defense, they will probably be a little scared.”

Shen Lishu hesitated for only a moment before taking it, smiling, "Thank you, brother!"

We can't let him get suspicious. At worst, we can just go back and return it to him quietly.

Shen Xingshu touched her head again, and took out a stack of banknotes with a gentle smile:

"I came out in a hurry this time, so you can use this ten thousand taels of silver first. Be careful and be safe. I have to go first."

what?

Shen Lishu quickly grabbed his clothes and said, "You, you don't want to stay for dinner?"

When guests come, they have to be treated with good food and wine.

You can't let people give her gifts but not even have a meal to eat.

Shen Xingshu smiled and explained, "I went to the county government office to check the household registration and find you, but I didn't expect to run into you."

I still have some errands to run. I'll come pick you up and take you home when I'm done, dear."

Shen Lishu suddenly became less happy.

Why are you being so obedient?

If anyone wants to go back, there is really no need to pick her up.

She just felt uneasy about this kindness.

Shen Lishu scratched his head, not knowing how to start. The current emperor was incompetent and it was too dangerous for him to stay in the court.

Besides, the situation in Tanzhou and Huizhou is too complicated and he shouldn’t get involved.

After hesitating for a while, Shen Lishu finally lost his temper and threw him a porcelain bottle:

“I don’t want the money, this is a magical medicine I got by accident.

As long as you still have breath, no matter you are injured or poisoned, you will never die if you drink it.

Keep it well and don't use it unless absolutely necessary. Save it for the critical moment to save your life.

If...you encounter danger or have any problems that you cannot solve, come to the Shen Mansion in Anhe Town to find me."

Well, after receiving someone's jade pendant, you must give something in return, as a way of repaying the original owner for his or her love and care over the years.

Shen Xingshu didn't want to accept it, "My sister has grown up...

You should keep such an important thing for yourself, I..."

Shen Lishu was furious, "Do you look down on me so much? You don't even want to accept the things I give you!

Besides, I have plenty of this stuff, why should you be so reluctant?"

Shen Xingshu: ...Forget it.

Although this sister is a bit dramatic, at least it's from the heart.

Shen Xingshu had no temper towards her and could only coax her in a gentle voice:

"Li'er, you misunderstood. Brother didn't mean that. I...I'll accept it, okay?"

That's pretty much it!

Shen Lishu then turned around and said, "Go quickly, and be careful."

After Shen Xingshu left, Shen Lishu couldn't help rubbing his forehead.

What the hell is this?

As soon as she returned to the mansion, someone from the Zhu family came and said, "Boss, this is the apology they sent."

"Wow! Twenty thousand taels! It seems like you are greedy for a lot."

Shen Lishu took the box and said casually: "Go tell the Zhu family that I received your kindness, and let the past be the past."

Although Mayor Zhu and his son were exiled, the women, children and young children were still there, and she did not want to continue to pester them.

"Boss! Young Master Xiao is awake!"
