Acting

Before he could make a sound in surprise, Si Qing had already corked the small porcelain bottle again, and said with a sweet voice: "Your Excellency, you should know the magic of my Shanhaiju. To be honest, Shanhaiju also needs the guidance of an expert, so he gave me

Just don’t worry about the elixir."

After hearing this, County Magistrate Zhao was completely relieved.

He took the porcelain vase and couldn't help but smile: "I didn't expect that my biggest headache would be solved by you, a little girl. If you were born a boy, your future would be limitless!"

When Si Qing heard this, she immediately became unhappy. She raised her chin dissatisfiedly and said, "Master Zhao, what you said is wrong. Even if I am not a man, my future is limitless."

After leaving the county government office, Si Qing met Xiao Yifeng at the city gate. The two looked at each other and saw the message of "it's done" in each other's eyes, so they left the county town together.

Not long after Si Qing left, County Magistrate Zhao quickly arranged for people to find Xu Yuanwai and others who had previously lived in Shanhai, and asked them to come to the county government office to discuss matters.

After Xu Yuan and others arrived at the county government office, County Magistrate Zhao took them into the study and told them all about what the prefect of Zhou had done in Yang County in recent days.

He also implicitly hinted to them that if Magistrate Zhou failed to arrest anyone, he might take it out on other people present at Shanhaiju next time.

Xu Yuanwai and others were shocked after hearing this.

He hurriedly asked Magistrate Zhao for help.

Magistrate Zhao shook his head, showing a helpless look. Yuanwai Xu and others were as anxious as ants in a hot pot, asking Magistrate Zhao for help, hoping that he could give him some advice on how to avoid the disaster.

On the other hand, he hated Magistrate Zhou deeply in his heart. It was obvious that he had failed to teach his son well, so he went to Shanhaiju and caused great trouble, and finally suffered the consequences.

Now, we have to use innocent people like them to vent our anger.

Xu Yuan and others wished they could report it directly to the imperial court and have the emperor, a dog official, arrested.

When County Magistrate Zhao saw that they were all anxious and angry and didn't know what to do, he said, "I have an idea that is not a good one. Maybe it can keep everyone safe."

When Xu Yuanwai and others heard this, they hurriedly asked: "If Mr. Zhao has any ideas, you might as well tell him!"

Magistrate Zhao slowly spoke: "Prefect Zhou is like this because he has a higher official position than me, and I cannot interfere with his actions. If there is someone with a higher official position than Prefect Zhou, maybe he can stop here."

When Xu Yuanwai heard this, his eyes suddenly lit up: "What do you mean, Magistrate Zhao, why don't we write to Magistrate Zhou and ask the court to send someone to punish Magistrate Zhou for his crimes?"

Squire Wang looked worried: "But it will take more than half a month to submit a letter to the court. By the time the court sends people, we may have been poisoned by the prefect Zhou."

Zhao Yuanwai also nodded in agreement: "Why don't we ask Caozhou Mu?"

"That's not bad. Master Zhou Mu will definitely not sit idly by and ignore the evil deeds of Prefect Zhou." Others nodded, feeling that this method was better.

However, County Magistrate Zhao sighed and said: "To be honest, everyone, I have sent a letter to Mr. Zhou Mu a few days ago, but it is a pity..."

"how?"

County Magistrate Zhao closed his eyes and looked helpless: "Master Zhou Mu doesn't want to take care of it. He only said that Magistrate Zhou has his own discretion in doing things."

When Xu Yuanwai heard this, his face suddenly filled with anger: "What a sense of self-discipline! It's the most ridiculous thing in the world. That week the prefect arrested some innocent people, tortured them, and cut off their hands and feet. This is also called having a sense of self-discipline! Bah!"

Squire Wang sighed and said, "Master Zhou Mu refuses to take care of it, so what can we do?"

Another officer couldn't help but stood up and said loudly: "Huh! I don't believe it anymore. We are also people with great honors. So the prefect dares to take action against us? He is not afraid of having his head chopped off from above."
