"My lord, what are you saying?" Li Daikui looked embarrassed. "Have you been reading too many comic books lately? Why are you absorbing yang energy? We're not fox demons."
Tang Huan nodded. "I think so. How could a fox demon look like that? Have you ever seen such a beautiful woman?"
"No." Li Daikui shook his head vigorously, suddenly realizing that what the adult said might not be entirely impossible.
That woman was indeed very beautiful.
Tang Huan ignored Li Daikui and instead fell into deep thought.
All he wanted to do now was get rid of Qin Yu.
Of course, Qin Yu is definitely not the other party's real name.
Although Tang Huan was unsure of the other party's plans for staying in Qihuai County, she did not want that to happen.
With his support, Qihuai County is now developing steadily, even exceeding expectations, and is now about to attract the attention of the imperial court.
If any further accidents occur, the trouble will be much greater.
What Tang Huan didn't tell Li Daikui was that Qin Yu was definitely not the daughter of a porcelain merchant.
When he entered the room, the first thing he noticed was the woman's hands, which were as clean and fair as her face, a feature befitting the daughter of a porcelain merchant.
Those born into high-ranking and wealthy families are generally pampered and spoiled, resulting in skin that is significantly different from that of ordinary people.
But Tang Huan noticed the calluses on the other person's palms, and he judged that they had only appeared in recent years.
“Even if her father fell on hard times a few years ago and had to make a living on his own, his hands would indeed develop calluses, but it’s impossible for his face to remain completely unchanged…”
Moreover, Qin Yu's injuries were also very strange.
Those were clear knife wounds. If they were just disaster victims from Kuizhou, how could they have encountered such a thing?
After thinking for a long time, Tang Huan said to Li Daikui, "Go and inform Xue'e to send Qin Yu to the restaurant and have her leave Qihuai County in three days."
"ah?"
Li Daikui didn't expect that the official was serious and didn't intend to keep the person.
Tang Huan snapped, "What are you standing there for? I'll wait for you at the door. Once you've delivered the message, hurry up and leave."
"yes."
When Li Daikui arrived at the government office, Tang Huan confirmed that he had completed his task as requested, and then quickly strode away, as if a lion or tiger was chasing after him.
Shortly after the two left, two figures appeared here.
Xue'e supported Qin Yu, her face showing concern. "What are you doing again? Although the master didn't want you to stay, he said he would arrange accommodation for you at a restaurant. You're still injured; you can't move around so easily..."
Qin Yu gave a bitter smile. "I owe my life to the Lord. Since he doesn't want me to stay in Qihuai County, I'll leave. I just hope to thank him in person before I go."
Qin Yu remained resolute, and Xue'e could not persuade him no matter what she did.
Helpless, he could only help Qin Yu search for Tang Huan.
Finally, they found Tang Huan and Li Daikui in a brothel.
Even though the entertainment center in Qihuai County had already opened, Tang Huan still occasionally came to the brothel to listen to music.
He was lying there half-reclined, with a shy young girl leaning against him.
Several young girls were dancing in front of me.
At the same time, someone was playing the pipa.
Qin Yu noticed the unusual young man at a glance, and her eyes immediately became clear and bright. The next moment, she returned to her frail appearance.
"Sir, what are you doing? She just woke up and you're already in a hurry to send her away?"
Tang Huan glanced at Xue'e, somewhat dissatisfied with the girl.
Over the years, he hasn't become any smarter by following me; sometimes he's even endearingly naive.
He didn't look at Qin Yu, but kept his attention on the girl dancing gracefully.
Qin Yu bit her lip and, with Xue'e's help, walked up to Tang Huan.
"My lord, why won't you even look at me? Am I that ugly?"
Seeing that Tang Huan did not answer, Qin Yu said, "Then shall I leave?"
"OK!"
Tang Huan spoke casually.
Qin Yu immediately frowned.
She froze on the spot, unsure of what to do.
Qin Yu was quite confident in his appearance; countless men had been infatuated with him.
But Tang Huan, who was just a minor county magistrate, didn't covet the opportunity at all and readily agreed to let him leave...
Qin Yu's original intention was to imply that he was willing to repay the life-saving grace by offering himself to the magistrate, but in reality, he planned to use this strange county magistrate to protect himself.
After learning about the changes in Qihuai County over the past few years from Xue'e, she immediately recognized Tang Huan as a capable person and saw this as her greatest opportunity.
Otherwise, he would be arrested as soon as he left Qihuai County, and there would be no way to escape.
To everyone's surprise, the other party didn't even respond to that.
"Lord Tang!" Xue'e called out, somewhat annoyed.
This put Tang Huan in a difficult position.
He couldn't pretend to be cold and indifferent in front of Xue'e, and he was most afraid of two things: Xue'e acting coquettishly and Xue'e getting angry.
Normally, no matter how much you tease or joke with this girl, she always smiles, like a silly little girl.
Tang Huan finally slowly raised her head to look at Qin Yu opposite her.
At the same time, Qin Yu also proudly raised his head, his face radiating confidence.
She believed that once this man saw her face, he would definitely not be so resolute.
But she was disappointed.
Because after a moment of approval, Tang Huan's eyes were filled with deep disappointment.
This made Qin Yu wonder if he was really that ugly.
What she didn't know was that Tang Huan had seen countless beautiful women, from the dazzling female stars on TV to the Japanese teachers treasured on his computer—all of them were stunningly beautiful.
Moreover, as a seasoned pervert, Tang Huan also has a fondness for long legs and breasts.
Qin Yu's legs are quite nice, but unfortunately they're flat, which really makes Tang Huan lose his appetite.
He couldn't help but compare himself to Boss Wu, "Even though Boss Wu is all bundled up, you can still tell he has considerable confidence, but you have no real strength..."
Tang Huan watched as Qin Yu puffed out his chest, and felt an even stronger urge to laugh.
He asked Xue'e, "Why did you bring her here to see me?"
"Of course we should keep her. Sister Qin is all alone and has just escaped death. She needs help right now. If you drive her away, how can she survive?"
Tang Huan touched his chin awkwardly, "Do you know that Qihuai County can't support idle people anymore? There are nearly 100,000 people, which is already beyond the limit of Qihuai County."
“It doesn’t matter if there’s one more person,” Xue’e said.
"If one more person is added to this family, and one more person is added to that family, how many more people will there be? In the end, my head will be the first to fall before yours. After I die, I might become a wandering ghost and watch you being sent to brothels to entertain customers."
Xue'e immediately felt guilty and couldn't speak, because she knew the adult's current situation.
The atmosphere suddenly became heavy.
"Well then, I am not a heartless person. The key is to see what you can do for me. If there is no benefit for you, I will not keep you."
Upon hearing this, Qin Yu saw a glimmer of hope, and his eyes lit up.
