Chapter 288 Who is the New County Magistrate?



Tang Li said this, and Madam Su asked.

"Xiaotang, are you in any trouble? Does Gu Ying have a grudge against you?" asked Mrs. Su.

Doctor Su and Madam Su both trusted Tang Li very much, so when Tang Li said that Gu Ying was going to harm them, they left Lijia Village and even staged a fake death for Gu Ying to see.

If you think about it carefully, there is always something wrong between Xiaotang and Gu Ying.

Xiaotang also knew Gu Ying quite well. Xiaotang was brought back to Li Village by Wei Qing. Could it be that Xiaotang had a grudge against Gu Ying?

This Gu Ying is no simple person. Xiaotang will be in a very dangerous situation if she has such an enemy.

Tang Li thought about it and didn't want to hide it, so he nodded: "Yes."

"Xiaotang, do you want revenge?" Mrs. Su asked again.

Tang Li actually doesn't have much hatred towards Gu Ying, but is more resentful of Gu Ying's occupation of her status.

Between her and Gu Ying, there wasn't just hatred; there was a natural rivalry. It was a fight between her and her man, and between her and Gu Ying. A head-on confrontation was inevitable.

This was too complicated for Tang Li to explain, so he nodded and said, "I want to."

"Then we'll help you." Mrs. Su said.

Tang Li was stunned for a moment, then looked at Madam Su's gentle face: "Sister-in-law..."

Madam Su patted Tangli's head and said, "Although Taiyuan is just a doctor, his medical skills are good and can still be of some use."

Tang Li was touched and sniffed: "Sister-in-law, I hope you and Doctor Su are doing well. I just want you to live a good life and grow old together."

In the original storyline, Mrs. Su died of illness, and Doctor Su grew old alone, missing his late wife. They loved each other so much, yet they had to be separated by death, which was too painful for both of them. Because of her arrival, the plot of the novel changed, and now both of them are doing well. Tang Li just hopes that they can live in peace and accompany each other until old age.

"Silly child, Taiyuan and I treat you as our own child. Only if you are well can we all be well. We are actually one family. Everyone should do their part to overcome the difficulties and then be happy. Isn't that good?" Madam Su touched her head again. "Xiaotang, you must remember that Taiyuan and I are your support. If you need anything, you must come to us."

Tangli felt indescribably touched.

She rested her head on Mrs. Su's shoulder, with a sense of dependence.

"Sister-in-law, you are so nice."

Mrs. Su patted her shoulder and said, "To be honest, Xiaotang is the best child."

How can I help Xiaotang?

If medical skills from far away can save lives, then make more friends and get to know more people so that you can use them when Xiaotang needs them.

Shopkeeper Hua lay down for a while and felt better, but then he couldn't lie down anymore, so he got up from the bed and chatted with Tang Li and Madam Su.

In the afternoon, Cao Ji came back earlier than usual.

As soon as he entered the gate of the house, Manager Hua saw him and was immediately delighted.

However, when he got closer and saw the bruises on his face, Shopkeeper Hua's expression suddenly changed.

Shopkeeper Hua stood up and hurried to greet him.

Cao Ji was even more panicked than her, so he ran over and supported her.

"Xia Xia, slow down." As he said that, he hugged her.

Shopkeeper Hua looked up at the scars on his face and asked, "What happened? Was he beaten?"

"It's not a beating. I had a fight with that grandson of Sun Huai. I'm fine. The one who's in trouble is that grandson. He has broken bones." Cao Ji snorted, looked at Shopkeeper Hua, and became very gentle again: "Don't worry, I'm fine."

Shopkeeper Hua knew that Sun Huai was a colleague of Cao Ji. Both of them were military commanders, in charge of different areas, and had always been at odds with each other.

Because Sun Huai always tried to please his superiors, the county magistrate, he always suppressed Cao Ji.

However, Cao Ji was not easy to bully. The two of them fought back and forth, and Cao Ji didn't suffer much loss.

Shopkeeper Hua scolded Sun Huai, saying that he dared to hurt her man and was looking for death!

Cao Ji was afraid that she would get angry, so he tried to comfort her.

The two of them were so close that there was no room for a third person.

"Why did they fight?" asked the shopkeeper Hua.

"Sun Huai wants to move my guards. Because the new county magistrate is about to take office, they want to mess up the situation and create a mess for the new county magistrate. This matter is very complicated and involves the capital and the struggle among the princes." Cao Ji said.

Ordinary people may not know that the matter of the county magistrate is related to the royal family in the capital, but Cao Ji is different. He knows many people in the capital and is naturally well-informed.

"The struggle among the princes? Cao Ji, can you tell me in detail?" This question was asked by Tang Li.

The hero of the novel is the third prince. In the novel, the third prince and Gu Ying are a powerful combination. They stand out in the treacherous and bloody struggle for the throne and eventually reach the top. One becomes the emperor and rules the world, and the other becomes the queen and the mother of the country.

Therefore, the Third Prince and Gu Ying are the enemies of her and her man.

Qinghe County is too far away from the capital, and she is not clear about the situation in the capital, so she wants to learn more from Cao Ji.

When Tang Li asked, Cao Ji naturally told him everything he knew.

The two men walked to the side and Cao Ji told them one by one.

"The current emperor has eight sons. The eldest, the former crown prince, was executed for treason, leaving seven remaining princes. The emperor has never appointed a crown prince, and several princes are eyeing the position. Among them, the third and sixth princes have the greatest hopes. The third prince is the son of the imperial concubine, and his mother's family is powerful. The sixth prince is the son of a favored concubine, and has been intelligent since childhood. He is the most like the current emperor, and the current emperor favors the sixth prince. Therefore, the conflict between the third and sixth princes is constant."

"Qinghe County is a fertile county, adjacent to Qinzhou City, with its dangerous passes and natural moats, making it the second line of defense for the Great Zhou. Therefore, both the Third and Sixth Princes have set their sights on Qinghe County and are desperately trying to place their own people there. The original County Magistrate was originally a member of the Sixth Prince's staff, but the Third Prince orchestrated a transfer out of Qinghe County, leaving the position vacant. The Third Prince originally wanted to place his own people there, but unexpectedly, a County Magistrate was parachuted in."

"This county magistrate is neither the third prince's man nor the sixth prince's man. The original county magistrate saw that the situation was hopeless and the new county magistrate was a foregone conclusion, so he wanted to mess things up and leave him with a mess. Sun Huai is his lackey, so he wanted to take the opportunity to move against my people. I disagreed, so we had a fight." Cao Ji continued.

"Who is this county magistrate?" Tang Li asked with a thought in his mind.

"It's Young Marquis Wu." Cao Ji said.

"Young Marquis Wu?" Tang Li repeated doubtfully.

"Yes, Lord Wu lives far away from the center of power, living a carefree life, not interfering in state affairs. Some time ago, he suddenly asked the emperor to find a position for his son. Lord Wu saved the emperor's life, so the emperor naturally agreed." Cao Ji said, "Speaking of which, this young Lord Wu disappeared for a while and only returned to the Wu family a while ago."

Missing for a while...

Tang Li listened to Cao Ji's words and couldn't help but have a guess in her mind. Her husband had said he would appear in a completely new identity. Is it possible...
