With a stubble beard.
His face was covered in mud and his body was filthy.
At this moment, Lin Sheng had completely lost his former demeanor, and when he led the way, he was limping and looked extremely disheveled.
When Cheng Shanshan saw Lin Sheng again, her eyes instantly turned cold: "You're still alive."
"Yes, thanks to you, I've survived until now!" Lin Sheng clenched his fists, his bloodshot eyes resembling those of a demon who had just crawled out of hell: "Cheng Shanshan, it's bad enough that you harmed me, but now you're even stealing everyone's food seeds! You're utterly heartless!"
These words immediately drew surprise from those nearby: "You stole the seeds?"
To prove his point, Lin Sheng casually grabbed a handful of soil from the ground, and there were indeed a few scattered wheat seeds in it: "Cheng Shanshan, you made a mistake despite your careful planning. You didn't expect me to follow the trail and find you here!"
Before Cheng Shanshan could speak, the onlookers became agitated: "Cheng family girl, we've already tilled the land, and you're stealing our life-saving food! What are you up to?!"
"That's right, hurry up and take the stuff out, or I'll tear you apart!" As he said this, everyone got excited and made a move to rush inside.
Lin Sheng's eyes were full of triumphant smiles: "Hand over the seeds, and we can let bygones be bygones."
Faced with this situation, Cheng Shanshan raised a stick to temporarily subdue the person before turning to Lin Sheng and asking, "So, the one who was eavesdropping outside me was you?"
"I have no interest in eavesdropping on anything you're talking about." Lin Sheng rolled his eyes at her with disdain, then turned to look at the people behind him: "This girl is ruthless and tough, everyone be careful, lest you end up injured instead of getting the seeds back."
"Pooh!"
"How much ability can a girl have?"
"That's right, I saw that guy surnamed Huo go out this morning. Do you think a group of us can't beat this little girl!"
These people were initially a little scared, but after Lin Sheng provoked them, they surged forward: "Cheng family girl, are you going to hand over the stuff or not!"
Cheng Shanshan took a deep breath: "You keep saying that the thing is with me, so I want to know what will happen if you search and find nothing?"
In his desperation, Lin Sheng blurted out, "How could there not be? If there isn't, I'll eat shit right here!"
"good."
Cheng Shanshan gave a cold laugh.
Then, as he turned to the side, he used his mind to quickly store everything inside the tent into his spatial storage. When those people rushed in, the scene they saw was spotless.
Lin Sheng's face turned pale at this: "Impossible! I clearly saw you and Huo Mingchen steal the seeds back!"
Cheng Shanshan's face darkened: "Actually, no." Looking at Lin Sheng's confident demeanor, she secretly checked the space and, sure enough, found five extra sacks of seeds!
The people around were also dissatisfied: "That's right, you brought us here with such confidence, and we all believed you."
"I……"
Lin Sheng was so anxious that he spun around in a circle.
Suddenly remembering what she had overheard yesterday, she pointed at Cheng Shanshan and said, "Cheng Shanshan, you vixen, you must have hidden something, right? You hid it in your magic bag!"
Cheng Shanshan frowned: "The treasure bag?" It seems he was the one who eavesdropped yesterday.
Lin Sheng nodded: "Yes, yes, it's that treasure bag." As he spoke, he seemed to have grasped a lifeline and hurriedly defended himself: "Everyone, look at us, who eat wild vegetables every day, and look at her. Although her face is smeared with black, the exposed skin on her wrists can't lie. She must have hidden a lot of things behind our backs!"
Everyone turned to look at Cheng Shanshan.
Cheng Shanshan felt like she'd been bitten by a dog, and her eyes were filled with murderous intent as she looked at Lin Sheng: "Lin Sheng, why are you becoming more and more like a dog?"
"It's all your fault!" Lin was so angry that her teeth itched, her empty eyes filled with hatred: "It's all because of you that I lost everything, and now I have a crippled leg."
Not long after he was imprisoned, a torrential rain began. He managed to escape from prison only to find that everyone had already headed east. He then chased after them all the way before finally arriving.
Cheng Shanshan looked at him and found it utterly ridiculous: "You really are the same Lin Sheng you used to be, without changing a bit."
Lin was furious: "Since you won't hand it over yourself, I'll just do it myself." He said, making a move to step forward.
Just then, Bai Jingquan strode over and shielded Cheng Shanshan before scolding, "Lin Sheng, what do you want to do!"
"Your Excellency, Magistrate?"
When Lin Sheng saw Bai Jingquan, he was full of disdain: "It really has been a long time since we last met."
“It has indeed been a long time.” Bai Jingquan immediately said to Wang Chao and Zhao Mo beside him, “Arrest him.”
Faced with this situation, Lin Sheng remained fearless: "Let's see who dares!" As he spoke, he directly took out a token from his pocket: "I am the Provincial Surveillance Commissioner personally selected by the Emperor to provide disaster relief!"
"..."
Everyone present was stunned.
Everyone looked over, and Bai Jingquan was extremely surprised after seeing the token clearly: "Where did you get this?"
"Of course it was bestowed by the Emperor himself! Here is also the Emperor's personally written document of appointment!" As Lin Sheng said this, he handed the two items directly to Bai Jingquan: "Open your dog eyes and see clearly whether these are real or fake."
When Bai Jingquan realized it was true, his first reaction was to kneel down and bow: "Greetings, Provincial Inspector."
"Greetings to the Provincial Surveillance Commissioner."
Seeing that even the county magistrate had become so powerful, the onlookers quickly knelt down as well.
However, Cheng Shanshan did not move. She had no recollection of Lin Sheng having this identity. What was going on?
At this moment, Lin Sheng walked up to Cheng Shanshan with a smug look on his face: "Cheng Shanshan, we'll have a long time to meet!" After saying that, he turned around and left.
Lin Sheng's arrival this time has completely disrupted the balance.
Bai Jingquan first lost the seeds and the support of the people, and then he encountered Lin Sheng. Now he is in a real predicament.
It was midnight.
Bai Jingquan arrived at Cheng Shanshan and Huo Mingchen's camp.
His face was full of worry: "That Lin Sheng is too ruthless. He came up and searched everything thoroughly, and he even robbed some people of their privately stored grain. Now it has caused public resentment."
Cheng Shanshan didn't say anything.
Huo Mingchen said, "Actually, you don't have to acknowledge him as an official."
"That won't do." Bai Jingquan is a very principled person; he can't bring himself to say something is false when it's clearly true.
Huo Mingchen glanced at him and said, "Then you can only continue to worry."
"Brother Huo."
Bai Jingquan raised his teacup high, instead of wine, and pleaded, "Please help me."
"Brother Huo really can't help you either." These were the words of Cheng Shanshan, her eyes calm and clear.
