Chapter 112 I thank you on behalf of the people in Dongfeng County
The more Mo Jiuye listened, the brighter his eyes became. He had already guessed He Zhiran's purpose.
So he took over and continued:
"This will make Nan Qi even more resentful of Nan Heng. With Nan Qi's intolerance, he will definitely find ways to cause trouble for Nan Heng after returning to Beijing.
Nan Heng is busy with his own affairs, so he will naturally ignore his pursuit of me for the time being."
He Zhiran smiled and nodded.
“That’s only part of the story.”
Mo Jiuye raised his eyebrows: "Do you have other purposes?"
He Zhiran is full of confidence.
"I also want to take this opportunity to help Fei Nanyu and ask him to find a way to spread the news of your breakup with Nan Qi after returning to Beijing. That way, Nan Heng will completely give up hunting you down.
Besides, didn’t we plan to distribute the dog county magistrate’s money to the people last night?
I plan to ask Fei Nanyu for help with this matter as well. I believe that with his ability, he will be able to do it."
After listening to her words, Mo Jiuye admired this woman's cleverness even more.
There was unconsciously a hint of doting in his tone.
"It's really hard for you. There are so many things in your little head."
Being praised, He Zhiran's tail almost flew up to the sky with pride.
"I'm killing two birds with one stone. Not only can I find a reliable person to return the magistrate's silver to the people, but I can also dispel Nan Heng's fear of you."
Seeing her smiling face, Mo Jiuye couldn't help but reach out and touch her head.
"Okay, you must be tired after being out for so long. Rest for a while and then we can have lunch."
He Zhiran felt very happy about Mo Jiuye's pampering and protection.
She obediently went to the bathroom to wash her hands, then sat down at the dining table and waited for dinner to be served.
Mo Jiuye hurriedly made two dishes, both using ingredients found in the refrigerator.
A dish of stir-fried pork with cucumber, a dish of stir-fried cabbage with eggs...
When the dishes were served, He Zhiran's eyes widened.
She could accept stir-fried cucumber with meat, as many people had done this combination in their previous life.
But what the hell is that scrambled eggs with cabbage?
Not to mention what these two ingredients taste like together, Mo Jiuye doesn't even seem to understand the process.
The egg was broken into pieces as big as fingernails, and some of it was wrapped around the cabbage.
Moreover, I don’t know how much soy sauce he put in, the whole dish looks black.
The stir-fried pork and cucumber dish wasn't much better either. Not only was there no soy sauce, but the ingredients were also covered in pot ants...
Looking at his own work, Mo Jiuye was obviously a little embarrassed.
He scratched his head uncomfortably: "Uh... my cooking was a bit of a failure, but I just tasted it and it's edible."
He Zhiran was not a pretentious person. When she was young in her previous life, her parents ignored her. At that time, she couldn't even eat such dishes.
What's more, Mo Jiuye was willing to cook for her personally, and she couldn't refuse his kindness.
"It's okay, as long as you become proficient in cooking."
After saying that, she picked up the chopsticks, picked up a piece of food and put it into her mouth.
The taste was not so bad that it was hard to swallow, so He Zhiran simply took a few more bites.
Seeing that she didn't look down on him, Mo Jiuye immediately put on a smile.
"Eat slowly, I'll help you with the food."
When Mo Jiuye came back with two bowls of rice, the smile on his face turned into embarrassment again.
He placed a bowl of rice in front of He Zhiran.
"I didn't control the amount of water in the rice well. It looks a bit like porridge..."
He Zhiran took a look and found that it was indeed true.
The rice that Mo Jiuye made was a little watery, and a little dry, even though it was porridge...
However, she still encouraged him, "It's okay, I can eat it as long as it's cooked."
Mo Jiuye knew that she was comforting him, and his heart suddenly warmed, and his desire to cook for her for the rest of his life became stronger.
After finishing his meal, He Zhiran prepared to leave the space.
This time, she planned to take Mo Jiuye with her.
After all, he will meet Fei Nanyu soon, and if Mo Jiuye keeps hiding, it will arouse the other party's suspicion.
The two appeared together in an abandoned room.
He Zhiran bought a large amount of Coptis chinensis on Taobao, and the pile filled up half the size of a room.
Then he placed the silver and copper coins he had taken from the county magistrate's mansion on the other side of the house.
As for those banknotes, He Zhiran chose to keep them.
The reason for keeping it is that the banknotes are easy to preserve. There is no need for the dog county magistrate to store the banknotes here. If Fei Nanyu sees them, it will be equivalent to telling him that he is trying to hide his true intentions.
He Zhiran did this to avoid possible trouble.
After all the items in the room were put away, the two of them pushed the door open and went out together.
The weeds in the yard have grown again, and it is obvious that no one has been around for a long time.
He Zhiran pulled the mule cart back and forth dozens of times, with the intention of creating traces that someone had frequently entered and exited this place recently.
Everything was ready, and she bought an antique lock on Taobao and locked the door.
Then she broke another window with a sharp weapon.
Looking at the large clock in the space, it was almost the time agreed with Fei Nanyu.
He Zhiran bought a few antique quilts again and spread them in the carriage of the mule cart so that Mo Jiuye would not feel too bumpy when sitting inside.
Driving a mule cart and paying a fee of ten cents, the two men returned to Pingyang County again.
In order to let Fei Nanyu see that he came from the city, He Zhiran simply took a detour before arriving at the agreed location.
Fei Nanyu was already waiting there. When he saw He Zhiran driving a mule cart from afar, he hurried to meet him.
Mo Jiuye lifted the carriage curtain and exchanged a few words with him. Fei Nanyu then suggested that He Zhiran sit in the carriage, while he and his servant sat outside to drive the carriage.
On the way, Fei Nanyu asked Mo Jiuye with concern why he was injured.
The two had expected Fei Nanyu to ask, so they decided to tell the truth.
Fei Nanyu didn't say anything after hearing this, just sighed and changed the subject.
The few of them chatted along the way and soon arrived at the abandoned house.
Mo Jiuye's injuries were still very serious, and He Zhiran forced him to stay in the mule cart.
He Zhiran led the two into the courtyard.
When Fei Nanyu saw the trampled marks in the yard, he did not doubt anything, but followed He Zhiran to the door of the main house.
He Zhiran pointed to a window nearby and said, "There's a lock on the door. That's how I got in."
Without a doubt, Fei Nanyu strode to the window.
He Zhiran pretended to shake it hard a few times and the window opened.
Fei Nanyu jumped in through the window and saw so many coptis chinensis. His usual calm demeanor completely disappeared.
"Madam Mo, you have done a great deed this time. I thank you on behalf of the people of Dongfeng County."
"Mr. Fei, you're welcome. I have something to ask of you." He Zhiran said.
"Mrs. Mo, please let me know if you have anything to say. As long as Nanyu can do it, I will spare no effort."
He Zhiran pointed at the silver and money on the ground and said:
"I'm sure Mr. Fei has also heard that the Pingyang County Magistrate is a corrupt official who has been squandering a lot of money on the people during his tenure. This money must have been obtained by plundering the people.
I thought that since we found the silver and money, we should return it to its original owner."
