Perhaps because she had been coming so frequently these past few days, the guards at the yamen did not stop her when they saw her.
He even nodded and greeted her.
Chi Qiao knew where Chi Dahu was. After nodding and going inside, she went directly to the household of the Sixth Department.
Chi Dahu was not there at the time; he had gone to the fields with some other people.
Having no other choice, she left a message and headed back.
As soon as she came out of the yamen, she ran into Fang Shizhong returning from outside.
Upon seeing the person, Chi Qiao hesitated for a moment before calling out to them.
"Lord Fang, wait!"
Fang Shizhong just came back from the cell block!
The county-level examination in Anping County is scheduled to begin on the 20th, and he goes there every day to check on the progress.
Originally, I had returned to handle official business and planned to make several copies of the cement formula and order someone to send them to the northern frontier and the capital as quickly as possible.
In addition, he also needed to have people collect wood ash and seashells from coastal cities, as he planned to open a cement production workshop in Anping County.
With a ton of work to do, plus the occasional court hearing, he was incredibly busy.
Even when inspecting spring plowing, they couldn't go far.
Upon hearing Chi Qiao's voice, he paused and looked at her.
Just an hour ago, he was a witness at Amu's house for Old Zheng's wife.
Wasn't it because nothing was wrong that he left?
What is the Zhou family doing here now?
Could it be that there's something wrong with the document he wrote himself?
Chi Qiao was unaware that her shout had caused Fang Shizhong to misunderstand.
After spending the past few days with him, she felt that Fang Shizhong was a really nice person.
He is a responsible and good official; Anping County is fortunate to have him!
Unable to find her man, and unsure whether Qin Mu would come home today or when, she was willing to take a gamble!
So, when she called out to someone and they looked over, she said:
"Lord Fang, I have something important to say. May I speak with you in private?"
Fang Shizhong was completely confused, but remembering the gemstone that even he had found amazing before, he nodded and led the person to the office.
As soon as Chi Qiao entered, she closed the door under the watchful eye of Constable Lü.
Fang Shizhong was about to sit down when he heard the door close, and he immediately frowned.
However, before he could even speak, Chi Qiao's expression became more solemn than ever before.
"My lord, I have something very important to tell you."
It concerns the lives of tens of thousands, or even more, people in Anping County.
"This woman has no idea how far the repercussions will be, but in Anping County, this is a done deal."
If it weren't for the events of the past few days, Fang Shizhong would have developed a good impression of the Chi family.
Just based on what Chi Qiao said right now, he would definitely kick the person out.
They might even think she's a crazy woman spouting nonsense.
Because he knew this, he was willing to listen to what she had to say.
"Yes, go ahead, I'm all ears!"
Chi Qiao didn't know how Qin Mu had spoken to Fang Shizhong before, but she thought it might have happened before, using her sister's good fortune as a prelude.
Fang Shizhong seemed quite interested in this so-called good luck, so she wanted to take another gamble.
"My lord, my little fish is the source of our Chi clan's destiny. I have told you about this before."
This morning, Xiaoyu set off back to Chijia'ao. Halfway there, she felt the weather suddenly get hot, and then she felt uneasy and very anxious.
Later, she forced herself to sleep. In her half-awake state, she heard an old sage telling her to prepare early.
Upon hearing this, Fang Shizhong immediately perked up, "Old Immortal?"
