"Deputy Captain Zhenwei, I have met you once before. You are an upright man.
"But does General Wang know about this?" Yang Qingfeng asked.
General Wang is the emperor's man and he adores my sister very much. His character is absolutely trustworthy.
"I don't know. It's been five days since the emperor summoned General Wang back to the capital. It seems that General Wan is in charge of the military camp." The county magistrate told Yang Qingfeng what he knew.
"No wonder, if General Wang were here, this would never have happened." Yang Qingfeng said.
"What is your relationship with Hongniang?" Yang Qingfeng asked.
"She tricked me into having sex with her. Later, she used this as a threat to force me to do things for her, eliminate dissidents, and occupy many shops." The county magistrate told Yang Qingfeng everything about him and Hongniang.
"She's just a prostitute in a brothel. How could you be threatened by her? This doesn't make sense, right?" Yang Qingfeng looked as if he didn't believe that the county magistrate was deceiving him.
"It's unfair! I didn't deceive the king's uncle. It was just because Hongniang and General Zhu were in cahoots. I dared not disobey General Zhu's orders." The county magistrate said quickly.
"If it's General Zhu, then it makes sense. General Zhu is a third-rank official, and you're a seventh-rank official, so you really have to listen to him.
Go back and pretend you don't know, and pretend you've never met this general. When the emperor sends someone to take over Longshan County, you can write a memorial about your crimes and let the emperor make the final decision. "Yang Qingfeng knew the reason for the incident and Shui Linglong's identity. He told the county magistrate to go back and leave the rest to the secret guard camp.
After the county magistrate left, Yang Qingfeng walked back to his room.
"Bai Xuan, have someone bring some wine and food over. You can go downstairs to eat, and then go find the Dark Guards and have them investigate the relationship between General Zhu and the brothel matchmaker.
Have the Dark Guards notify the Queen and ask her to send someone to take over Longshan County. This county magistrate is guilty of heinous crimes and is no longer fit to be a county magistrate. Yang Qingfeng told Bai Xuan what the county magistrate had told him and asked him to contact the Dark Guards' intelligence network.
"Yes, young master." Bai Xuan went downstairs and asked someone to bring up some wine and food. He ate a little and then went to find Leng Tie from the Dark Guard Camp.
Tell him what Yang Qingfeng meant, and then go back to the inn.
Yang Qingfeng walked into the room. Shui Linglong was still asleep. He tiptoed to the bed and looked at her sleeping face quietly.
The more I look at her, the more I like her, and the more beautiful she becomes.
Unfortunately, the good times didn't last long, and I disturbed him again without knowing the situation.
"Sir, the food and wine are ready. Can we bring them in?" the waiter called out from outside the door at an inopportune moment.
"Come in!" Yang Qingfeng covered Shui Linglong with a quilt before letting her in.
He walked to the side of the table and asked the waiter to put the food and drinks on the table and let him go out, not giving him a chance to look around.
In fact, the waiter's voice woke Shui Linglong up. She knew someone was looking at her, so she didn't open her eyes.
"Wake up! Get up and eat when you wake up." Yang Qingfeng suddenly spoke after the waiter left.
In fact, he knew that Shui Linglong woke up and pretended to be asleep, but he just didn't want to expose her.
"Sir, how do you know that I'm awake?" Shui Linglong asked curiously.
She pretended to be asleep, thinking that she was being very cautious and there was no chance of being discovered.
“In fact, the girl woke up when the waiter spoke, right?
It's just that I don't want to expose you and embarrass you." Yang Qingfeng said the truth.
"Young Master is very attentive and observant. He can even notice such a slight change. This shows that you are a careful person." Shui Linglong said.
"The girl is also a careful person. She knows how to pretend to be asleep and is a cautious person." Yang Qingfeng said praisingly.
"Thank you for the compliment, sir. I am afraid of danger, so I have to be cautious. It doesn't mean I doubt you," Shui Linglong explained.
“It’s okay, it’s a good thing for girls to be cautious when they go out.
Well, the food is getting cold, come and eat, girl." He was not unhappy that the other party was cautious and guarded against him. This was a way for girls to protect themselves.
"I won't eat, I have more important things to do.
Thank you for saving my life, sir. I will come to thank you after I finish my business." Shui Linglong thought that her younger sister and elder sister-in-law were still in the wolf den, so she wanted to go back and save them as soon as possible.
"No need to thank me. After all, I have cleared your name, so we are even now." Yang Qingfeng said.
A girl's innocence is more important than anything else, even more important than the grace of saving her life, and I have taken advantage of her.
"No, I did it voluntarily. You did it to save me." Shui Linglong explained immediately.
The situation was very critical at the time. If he didn't do this, he would bleed to death.
"Although it was voluntary, the woman was the one who suffered the loss, so I still have to take responsibility," said Yang Qingfeng.
"Okay, let's eat, nothing is more important than eating.
If I don’t have enough food, I won’t have the energy to save people,” said Yang Qingfeng.
"Sir, do you know that I am going to save someone? Do you know my life experience?" Shui Linglong asked vigilantly.
She suspected that the young man in front of her had ulterior motives, as if he knew what she was going to do.
"Miss, don't worry that I have ulterior motives. I know a little bit from what they said. I know that you are the woman they want to capture. I know that you ran away from the brothel. Your relatives are in the brothel.
I also know that the girl flew up to the second floor from the downstairs. The shopkeeper downstairs didn't know she had entered the inn, otherwise those people wouldn't have missed the opportunity to search my room." Yang Qingfeng's analysis was so clear that Shui Linglong couldn't refute it even if she wanted to.
