Xu Jinhuan knew what Xie Datou was asking. She looked at the translucent system back panel in front of her, confirmed the information on the map, and said to Xie Datou.
"If you want to stop, continue to the northeast. There is a small county town there."
Xie Datou nodded when he heard this, "Okay, let's get going now."
"drive!"
Xie Datou gently whipped the little red horse, and the carriage started moving instantly.
Xia Zhiying opened the carriage curtain beside her and instantly felt a gust of hot wind coming towards her. She muttered.
"I thought the night breeze would be cooler, but it's still this hot."
After taking a sip of iced water, Xu Jinhuan said with a smile, "Don't you see how much ice you put in this small carriage? If you still think the wind outside is cool, these ice cubes will cry."
Ever since she learned that Xu Jinhuan had taken back all the tools she had left at Fu's Mansion, Xia Zhiying has not stopped studying ice.
All the ice cubes in the carriage now are Xia Zhiying’s masterpieces.
After hearing Xu Jinhuan's joke, Xia Zhiying touched her head a little embarrassedly, "It's a pity that these ice cubes are still not edible. I must develop a kind of edible ice cubes in the future."
Xu Jinhuan smiled and nodded, "Okay, I will definitely come to support you then."
After the two chatted for a while, they soon felt the carriage stop.
"Bighead, have we arrived yet?" Xu Jinhuan asked.
Xie Datou nodded and said, "We're here. I'll park the carriage here and wait for you to come back, Boss."
Xu Jinhuan nodded and jumped off the carriage nimbly. She used her lightness skills and quickly disappeared from the sight of Xie Datou and Xia Zhiying like an elf in the dark night.
After Xu Jinhuan entered the county town, he skillfully delivered "warmth".
That's right, it's warmth.
Ever since she activated the new function of faith last time, Xu Jinhuan discovered that she could act as a god for a short period of time. She prepared to make good use of this ability and gradually spread her influence.
Therefore, whenever she arrived at a place, she would first visit the local county magistrate's house. If the county magistrate was an honest official, she would quietly leave and pretend she had never been there.
If the magistrate is a corrupt official, then it's all over. Xu Jinhuan will definitely turn his house upside down.
After everything was emptied out and they played tricks on him, they forced him to turn over a new leaf and become a better man.
Afterwards, Xu Jinhuan would go to the slums there and start distributing welfare.
This so-called welfare may include food from local corrupt officials or food from various prefectures in the capital. There is no way around it because too much food was moved before and it is impossible to tell who it belongs to.
However, the result is the same, take from the people and use it for the people!
It’s just that he was using other people’s things, and what increased was Xu Jinhuan’s own faith value.
This time was no exception. Xu Jinhuan nimbly climbed into the county magistrate's mansion in this small county town and prepared to investigate.
There happened to be a light in the mansion at this moment, so Xu Jinhuan followed the light and came to a place. Judging from the surrounding arrangements, it seemed to be the magistrate's study.
"What? The higher-ups still think there aren't enough people?" A middle-aged man's voice came from the study.
Xu Jinhuan used his invisibility ability, turned himself into liquid, and slowly flowed into the study, ready to find out the situation.
As soon as she entered, she saw two people in the room, one was a middle-aged man sitting on a chair, and the other was an expressionless young man.
It’s just that the person sitting there is obviously of a higher status, but there is no dignity on his face.
After he stood up from his seat, he walked over to the young man and became extremely fawning and obsequious to him.
"Alas, I just spoke too quickly. I didn't mean to refute the master's order. Please understand.
However, these one hundred beautiful women are indeed too many. Ever since the news of the missing women spread in the county, many young women have stopped going out.
Even when they go out, they are with their families. It is really difficult!"
The young man seemed to be quite impressed by his words. After listening to his explanation, the fierce look in his eyes and brows became less fierce.
"I can't say much else, but I can only tell you that this is a test from the master. If you pass, I don't need to tell you about the benefits that will follow, right?"
After the young man finished speaking, he gave the magistrate a look.
The magistrate was immediately surprised when he heard this. He smiled and said, "Thank you for your advice, sir. I will have someone search for young girls and gather a hundred of them as soon as possible."
After that, he continued, "It's getting late today. I have already arranged a courtyard and a small program for you. Please don't despise my humble abode."
The young man was very satisfied with the other party's understanding and raised his head proudly, "As long as you do your job well, I will definitely say a few good words for you in front of the master when I return to the capital."
After saying this, he left the house and was respectfully taken somewhere else by the servants.
After the young man left, the magistrate immediately stopped smiling and said to his servant, "Go and call the lawyer for me!"
After a while, a middle-aged man dressed as a scholar came to the study.
"County Magistrate, is there something urgent that you are looking for me so late at night?"
The magistrate said solemnly, "Old Xu, we have waited for so long, and our good fortune is finally coming."
The master called Lao Xu was surprised and happy when he heard this, "Really? You can leave Nanheng County?"
The magistrate nodded, "Yes, but the higher-ups want me to complete a test."
Without waiting for the master to ask, the magistrate told him what had just happened. Finally, he asked, "Old Xu, you have always been more cautious than me. Do you have a more reliable way?"
After thinking for a while, Old Xu said, "With so many people, we may not be able to get enough by going to a dealer to buy it, so why don't we try three things at once?
Some of them go to buy, some of them find people to kidnap as usual, and for the last part, you can hold a lantern festival and let those men in the dark wait for the one who is left alone.
The temperature is high during the day, so people stay indoors at night, so the timing is perfect."
Upon hearing this, the magistrate immediately laughed and said, "Old Xu, you are really smart. This way we can share the risk and speed up the process. If the higher-ups are happy, maybe we can go to the capital to gang up!"
After hearing this, Xu Jinhuan finally understood that this county magistrate was probably the one who had previously colluded with the richest man Zhou.
However, after the death of Mr. Zhou, the richest man, the chain of relationships he controlled was broken, resulting in a shortage of people for a while.
Xu Jinhuan was a little puzzled. Why did Lei Tingjun get so many girls? Those he abducted before were not enough, and now he was so anxious that he sent people to order the arrest.
Even a brothel can't be so short of people, right?
Xu Jinhuan did not think about it carefully, but instead focused his attention on the two people in the house. The county magistrate should have been the local official, but he accidentally kidnapped people.
It's really outrageous.
Moreover, from what these two said, it seems that they have done this more than once, and it is time to teach them a lesson.
Thinking of this, Xu Jinhuan raised a brilliant smile. She pulled up the lawyer's sleeve and asked him to hit the magistrate hard in the face.
“Pah!”
A crisp sound rang out in the house.
