After crossing the main street, Ning Xi'er arrived at the center of the market.
Taking advantage of a moment when no one was paying attention, Ning Xi'er revealed her true form.
He took out some silver ingots from his spatial storage, bribed a few tea servers, and the woman at the door who was gossiping animatedly...
Ning Xi'er quickly concealed herself, returned along the same route, and went back to the sedan chair, pretending to be asleep.
After traveling all day, she was indeed quite tired and drifted off to sleep.
"He can really sleep!"
I could hear Zheng Ye muttering complaints in my ear.
Ning Xi'er smiled, thinking, "He really doesn't learn his lesson!"
Even if I'm really sleepy, I still have time to play a trick on him.
He slightly lifted the sedan curtain, concealed himself as he stepped off the carriage, took out a slingshot from his spatial storage, and aimed...
When the bird flew at an angle directly above Zheng Ye, Ning Xi'er released her slingshot, and the bird instantly plummeted to the ground!
Even though he was once the General Who Pacifies the South, Zheng Ye still reflexively jumped off the carriage when something suddenly hit him on the head.
He discovered that what had hit him was a still-warm dead bird. He looked up at the sky, but there was nothing unusual around him...
Suddenly I felt nervous.
Ning Xi'er had already put away her slingshot, disappeared back into the carriage, let out a long sigh, and leaned against the carriage to rest.
Even after Ning Xi'er fell asleep, Zheng Ye didn't dare to get into the carriage, and continued to observe his surroundings vigilantly.
Ning Xi'er smiled.
The backyard of the county government office was like a hornet's nest.
The magistrate's wife, holding a feather duster, chased after a man, circling around in the courtyard.
The person being chased was bulky and unable to dodge in time, having already taken several blows.
He howled in pain while cursing, "Which brat dares to spread rumors about me?!"
"If I catch him, I'll skin him alive!"
Before he could finish speaking, he got two more slaps on the buttocks.
The servants in the mansion all hid.
The magistrate's wife took matters into her own hands, and none of them dared to intervene, otherwise she would beat them all up too—the clerk was a prime example of what would happen if she did.
But they dared not stand by and watch the magistrate being beaten, knowing that he would surely use the incident to his advantage and settle scores later!
"You've got some nerve! You actually dared to covet my father's property, and knowing that there's a divine doctor who can cure my father, you deliberately prevented him from being treated!"
"I'm going to beat you to death today, you ungrateful wretch!"
The magistrate's wife gritted her teeth.
She was the only daughter in her family and the apple of her father's eye.
Now that her father is paralyzed and bedridden, she is indeed managing the family assets.
The magistrate wouldn't let them into the city, so Ning Xi'er bribed someone to spread rumors about him, saying that he was deliberately preventing his father-in-law from receiving medical treatment...
Because he coveted his father-in-law's property.
"I'm innocent! Madam, how could I dare! Besides, no matter what my father-in-law is like, the property is in your hands, what does it have to do with me?"
The magistrate explained as he ran.
"snort!"
The magistrate's wife snorted heavily, "Who knows if you'll outlive my father and then find a way to deal with me!"
"I'm innocent, Madam! Even if you gave me a hundred lives, I wouldn't dare!"
The magistrate was speechless and unable to defend himself.
Finally, when the magistrate's wife was exhausted and could no longer run, the magistrate stopped and, in a fit of anger, immediately ordered his men to summon the guards at the city gate to confront them, as rumored.
The magistrate was aggressive, and the clerk was stern. Before long, the guards who had taken Ning Xi'er's silver ingots told the truth.
The magistrate's wife, who was listening in from behind, reached out and, in a fit of anger, scratched the magistrate's face with her long fingernails...
The magistrate cried out in pain, and did not forget to sternly order his clerk beside him, "Give him a good beating!"
With a face covered in graffiti and no expression, the magistrate ordered his advisor to personally go to the city gate to welcome the "miracle doctor" into the city.
Ning Xi'er was worried that the county magistrate or other soldiers would recognize Zheng Ye's face, so she took out some ointment from her bundle and used it to disguise him.
The three of them rode in a carriage and stopped at the entrance of the county government building. They saw the county magistrate and his wife, and their expressions were both cold and warm.
"puff!"
When Zheng Ye saw the scratches on the magistrate's face, he couldn't help but burst out laughing, only to meet the magistrate's razor-sharp gaze.
Having been immersed in officialdom for so many years, one only needs to think about it to understand that there's no way it could be such a coincidence!
Just when he ordered the city gates closed, I tried to embarrass him so I could sneak into the city...
The magistrate had a general idea of the three men's identities, but he couldn't expose them.
Otherwise, if it is revealed that the other party is from the Prince's Mansion or the Duke of Protectorate's Mansion, even if they cannot retaliate immediately, their supporters will always find a way to make them suffer.
The magistrate's wife was very attentive. She looked at the tall Zheng Ye and bowed to lead him to the back hall.
To save time, while the clerk went to the city gate to invite a few people, the magistrate's wife had already sent someone to her home to fetch her father.
Zheng Ye kindly explained that he wasn't the one with medical skills...
The magistrate's wife's serious astonishment flashed by for a moment, then she looked at Bai Zhi...
Bai Zhi clasped her hands in a fist and nodded, then pointed at Ning Xi'er...
