The county magistrate was stunned when he received the letter from the prefect that day.

The master was puzzled when he saw this. "Sir, what are you doing?"

"Hahahaha...it's true that those who do evil will eventually perish!"

The county magistrate handed the letter to the legal advisor. He was stunned and couldn't help muttering to himself: "Prince Ping is dead? So suddenly? Is this true?"

The county magistrate was in a good mood. He stroked his beard and guessed, "The prefect didn't take any action recently. I guess he was investigating this matter."

"My Lord, what about the mine?"

"Humph...illegally mining is considered treason. Bring your men and send them straight to jail!"

The next day, people in the city were in panic.

"What's going on? What happened to this strange dental practice?"

"Hey... I heard that the strange tooth business is illegally mining!"

"Heavenly Bodhisattva... this is a life-threatening act!"

"Stop talking, someone's coming out!"

Big Teeth was brought out tied up. As he passed by the crowd, his eyes narrowed slightly, and he was furious. "Is it you?"

Luo Zirui folded his arms and pointed to the sky, "Those who do evil will eventually perish! It's God who cannot bear your behavior!"

"You...you just wait!"

"Oh? Come back and seek revenge on me in your next life!"

Big Teeth suddenly realized something and his heart skipped a beat. "What... do you mean?"

"Pa!" The soldier slapped him without hesitation.

"Illegal mining is a capital offense. You're still thinking someone will rescue you? I'm afraid you're just dreaming!"

He rudely pulled off the man's shirt and stuffed it into his mouth, then dragged him away.

Rong Niang patted Luo Zirui and said, "Hey... do you have any other wishes?"

He smiled bitterly. "Even though I killed my enemy, I am still a descendant of a criminal and cannot take the imperial examination. Qingshui County is the place that changed my life. I plan to become a teacher here! What about you?"

Rong Niang was slightly startled. "Now that I have avenged my great hatred, I have nothing to worry about anymore. I want to wander the world!"

Hearing this, Luo Zirui did not try to persuade him. After all, everyone has his own way of living.

Tang Youyou had no idea that the person she saved out of kindness would have such a great contribution. At this moment, she was accepting the commendation from Magistrate Tu.

"Mrs. Tang is indeed worthy of the Emperor's admiration. She is calm and composed, and handles things with composure. This time, thanks to your advice..."

Tang Youyou's cheeks flushed slightly, and she always felt like the boss was praising her.

"Sir, I would be happy to contribute even a little to the court."

Magistrate Tu stroked his beard and said, "If the court could have more people like you, then our Dongchen Kingdom would be prosperous and strong in no time!"

Magistrate Zhang took the opportunity to interject, "Sir, Lady Tang is not only thoughtful but also quite knowledgeable about business! Both Yueyoufang and Fucheng Jiatangfang were founded by her."

The prefect's eyes curved with laughter. "Really? I didn't expect you to be the owner of this sugar factory, haha..."

Tang Youyou keenly sensed that something was wrong.

Tu Zhifu's words continued: "Alas... To be honest, my mother once had your cake at a banquet at someone else's house and has been thinking about it ever since. But every time she sends someone to buy it, they can't get it!"

Tang Youyou's eyes lit up when she heard this, "How difficult is that? If the old lady wants to eat it in the future, just let me know, and I'll send someone to deliver it to your house!"

Magistrate Tu was beaming with joy, as he had not expected such a pleasant surprise.

"Thank you so much, Mrs. Tang!"

Tang Youyou showed a typical smile, "It's a small matter! However, my lord, I have an unwelcome request!"

"Oh? But you can say it!"

"I came to Nanzhou to escape famine. Although I am a seventh-rank lady, I have no foundation. My business relies on the connections of others. My sugar mill business is too prosperous, and I am afraid it will attract jealousy from others. If I can have the support of the prefect, I will be able to rest easy!"

When these words were spoken, you could hear a pin drop in the room.

County Magistrate Zhang: Oh my god, this Mrs. Tang speaks so bluntly!

Prefect Tu: This is an incredible way to climb the ladder. Blatant bribery? Businessmen are truly driven by profit.

"Sir, don't worry. I base my business on integrity and will never do anything that harms others. All you need is a handwritten note! If you don't want to, just pretend I didn't say anything!"

Magistrate Tu thought of his mother complaining all day long that she had a headache because she couldn't eat cake. He also thought that if the store really went bankrupt, would his mother come to bother him every day?

"What did I think it was? I'm not bragging, my calligraphy has even been commended by His Majesty!"

After receiving a positive answer, Tang Youyou was extremely happy. "It is an honor to receive a piece of calligraphy from you, sir. Thank you very much, sir!"

As soon as she left the county government office, Suihe was already waiting for her.

"Suihe? Why are you here?"

"My lady, my wife invites you to come to her house for a chat!"

When we arrived at Li's house, the servants were packing up, and they were all in high spirits.

"Sister, are you leaving?"

"Youyou, Songbai passed the exam and was assigned to the neighboring Mi County as the county magistrate!"

Tang Youyou was a little surprised, "Sister, this is a great thing. Many people died in the neighboring Mi County due to the plague, so there are more victims than in other places. This will be beneficial to Big Brother's political achievements!"

"You, you always see through things to their core. I think so too. Sigh... after all these years, I've finally made it!"

She unconsciously put her hand on her belly, and suddenly remembered something and slapped her forehead, "Pregnancy really makes you stupid for three years!"

"I've already discussed it with him. Once he takes office, I'll finalize Ruoxue and Yuan'er's marriage!

"Ah, what a double blessing!"

"You're such a sweet talker! Thanks to your good words, I'm going to sell this house and Changyinju!"

Tang Youyou's eyes lit up, "Sister, why don't you give me a discount? I'll buy it, but I want credit!"
