Chapter 65 Kill the County Magistrate
This time, without Mengdie's obstruction, Shen Qingtang found an empty room smoothly, changed into a new white dress, and changed her previous makeup.
When she came out of the room again, she was like a completely different person.
Shen Qingtang swaggered out of the Flower Viewing Building.
It was late at night, the city gates were closed, and no one could go out.
It just so happened that Shen Qingtang didn't want to go out now. The matter had not been resolved, and she would never leave here.
Shen Qingtang found an inn to live in. After a day of running around, she was exhausted.
After eating and drinking, she and the cat lay on the soft big bed, and she could finally take a rest.
Shen Qingtang stroked the cat while organizing his thoughts.
I originally thought that as long as I reported this matter to the county magistrate, it would be solved, but I didn't expect that the county magistrate himself was a spy.
If I leave Yun County now and look for a higher-level official, it will waste more time, and what if the higher-level official is also a spy?
Every day wasted will put more girls in danger.
After thinking it over, Shen Qingtang decided to stay in Yun County.
At least now she has obtained some useful information.
Judging from Yang Kuan's performance in court today, he has always pretended to be a good person in front of everyone.
Some of the yamen runners are Yang Kuan's own people, and they often help him deal with dirty things.
There are also some yamen runners who have been kept in the dark and don't know that their county magistrate has rebelled.
The emperor is far away, and Yang Kuan is just a local emperor here. Without Yang Kuan's order, it is impossible to send troops to rescue those girls.
However, in addition to the county magistrate, the county lieutenant can also be in charge of the troops, but his rank is one level lower than the county magistrate, and he cannot exceed his authority.
Shen Qingtang curled the corners of his mouth slightly. This is easy to do. Just kill the county magistrate.
Before the new county magistrate takes office, the county lieutenant has the final say on military affairs.
There is a way, but Shen Qingtang still needs to confirm one thing. He doesn't know whether the county lieutenant is trustworthy.
If the county lieutenant is also a traitor, then he can only kill one more person. This
is Shen Qingtang's first time in Yun County, and what she is doing now has already deviated from the plot in the original book.
The book does not describe Yun County in detail. It only mentions in the later period that Beiming Kingdom declared war on Fengyin Kingdom. Yun County was the first place to be attacked. They were beaten without any chance to fight back and suffered heavy casualties, including the surrounding villages and towns.
Thinking of this, Shen Qingtang suddenly felt a little depressed. She didn't want the people here to suffer from the war.
Shen Qingtang took a deep breath and shook her head gently. She didn't want to think about those things for now. She would solve the problems in front of her first.
But how could she get in touch with the county lieutenant?
At this time, Shen Qingtang suddenly thought of the tall and thin yamen runner who whispered to her to escape today.
That yamen runner should be trustworthy, and Shen Qingtang planned to find him tomorrow.
Shen Qingtang slept deeply and recovered a lot in her mental state.
The next morning, she went to the street outside the county government office to stake out.
Seeing the yamen runner coming out of the alley and preparing to go to the yamen to take up duty, Shen Qingtang pretended to be looking for something and accidentally bumped into his arm.
"Ouch!"
Shen Qingtang screamed, took a step back, and fell to the ground. Then she frowned and covered her knees with tears in her eyes.
The yamen runner's face changed when he saw this, and he hurried over and asked with concern: "Miss, are you okay?"
"It hurts." Shen Qingtang looked at him aggrievedly.
Shen Qingtang had a white veil on her face, revealing a pair of breathtakingly beautiful eyes.
Just seeing these eyes, the yamen runner was fascinated.
His cheeks flushed slightly, and he said embarrassedly: "I'm sorry, young lady, I'll help you up now."
Shen Qingtang's arm was supported by the yamen runner, and she pointed to the deserted alley in front of her: "Young man, can you help me to that alley? I left something there."
"Okay, no problem."
Several other yamen runners passed by and looked at him meaningfully.
The yamen runner quickly explained: "Don't get me wrong, I was in a hurry to get by and accidentally bumped into this girl. She left something there. I will help her over first, and then go to the yamen. Don't look at me, just go in quickly."
"Tsk~" So that's the case, they thought the two people had that kind of relationship!
Shen Qingtang was supported by him and limped to the deserted alley.
"Girl, what did you lose? Do you need me to help you find it?" he asked kindly.
"Brother, I'm Ye Qing." Shen Qingtang stood up straight, took off the veil, and changed back to his boyish voice.
The yamen runner was petrified on the spot when he heard it.
What? !
He turned out to be the boy who came to the yamen to complain yesterday? !
Why did he dress up as a woman!
"Brother, I don't know how to call you?"
"My name is Cui Xia."
Cui Xia's tone was a little disappointed. He was actually fascinated by a man just now. Is this reasonable!
He glanced at Shen Qingtang again, but it was not his fault. This boy looked really good in women's clothes!
Cui Xia felt that his previous shyness was a joke!
"Brother Cui, thank you for reminding me yesterday." Shen Qingtang didn't know that Cui Xia had so many thoughts in her mind, she looked at Cui Xia seriously.
"Don't be surprised that I'm dressed like this, I was targeted by them yesterday, and I could only escape their pursuit by dressing up as a woman."
Cui Xia nodded: "Brother Ye Qing, I understand."
At this point, he could only accept the reality.
"It's great that you can survive safely. There were two people who came out of Lingquan Town before, but they died inexplicably after leaving the county government."
Shen Qingtang's face sank: "Brother Cui, I came to you this time because I want to ask you for help with something. This matter is of great importance. We need to find a safer place to talk."
"Brother Cui, I know you are a good person. Can you spare some time to talk to me?"
Shen Qingtang took out a storage bag and put it in his hand.
Cui Xia looked down at the storage bag, his eyes slightly widened, and it was full of spiritual stones!
He immediately returned the storage bag to Shen Qingtang, "Brother Ye Qing, I can't take this."
"I can more or less guess what you are looking for me for. I can talk to you, but not now. I have to go to the government office on duty later."
"How about this, you go to the No. 4 box of Zuixianlou and wait for me. I will come to you after I get off duty at noon."
"Thank you, Brother Cui!" Shen Qingtang smiled at him.
Cui Xia: ...
What should I do? Brother Ye Qing looks even better when he smiles!
Cui Xia was surprised to find that he, he, he, he has a habit of cutting sleeves? !
