Jiao Baiqiu is going crazy.
He didn't even know when his bedmate had changed!
Damn it!
Oh.
Wang Mei wore a bitter smile.
"Do you know him? Jiao Lang."
"You're such a good person, so kind to me, but I think about you all the time."
"These good things are not for me."
"I am a thief; I stole someone else's happiness."
"I'm jealous."
"Finally, I convinced myself that after finishing this deal, I would find a way to elope with you."
"Let's go somewhere where it's just the two of us."
"Nobody knows us."
"I really want to spend my whole life with you."
Upon hearing her words, both Wang Sheng and the man in gray changed their expressions.
It seems they never considered the teammates they were trying so hard to protect.
He actually harbored such thoughts in secret.
What do you mean no one knows them?
Did you kill your teammate?
Jiao Baiqiu just thought Wang Mei was like a lunatic.
He shouted, "Tell me, where did you take my wife?"
"Hehe, of course we'd kill them."
"Only the dead are truly safe."
Bang!
Jiao Baiqiu could no longer hold back.
This is the first time in my life I've ever hit someone.
They kicked Wang Mei far away.
The scene was chaotic, and it was only with great difficulty that a result was finally obtained.
Wang Mei used her inconspicuous identity to secretly look for prey.
There were visiting merchants and minor officials.
Then the man in gray made his move, and Wang Sheng was responsible for covering for him.
He had been in Jiao County for two months and had successfully carried out this operation twice, killing a total of five people.
It includes the real advisor and Madam Jiao.
Originally, he was only interested in the one thousand taels of silver that the Red Lions team paid to that expert.
However, Wang Mei accidentally discovered that Murong Yue used precious celadon teacups.
There was also a box filled with gold jewelry.
Even the thing that Murong Yue always played with was a large pearl.
He then had wicked thoughts.
Let's just frame them.
He then received a thousand taels of silver from that expert.
While these outsiders were locked up in jail, they seized their property for private use.
With Wang Sheng as the advisor...
What's there to be afraid of?
But they never expected that Murong Yue was actually a relative of the Minister of Revenue.
This time, we've really hit a brick wall.
The county magistrate was bewildered by the series of unexpected events and could only kneel on the ground and kowtow to Qi Yuan.
"It was my negligence in supervision that led to this disaster."
"Your humble servant..."
Qi Yuan stood up. "Your fate will be decided by the Ministry of Personnel."
"What we need to do now is to strictly investigate the migrant population inside and outside the county."
"Try this case well."
"yes..."
It's pointless.
Murong Yue doesn't want to watch the dragon boat races or the dam right now.
I don't want to stay in Jiaoxian County either.
After sending a message to the capital, he set off and left.
The Ministry of Personnel in the capital was greatly surprised when it received the news.
I can't believe something like this actually happened.
They immediately joined forces with the Ministry of Revenue to launch another round of investigations in all prefectures and counties of the Qing Kingdom.
The north is suffering from a severe drought, and a population check was conducted under the guise of water control orders.
Therefore, the people who migrated from Yun Kingdom basically did not come to the north.
They are all concentrated in several southern prefectures.
This investigation uncovered quite a few potential problems.
It was not registered.
There is no official document.
It has been completely transformed.
There are good people and bad people.
The Ministry of Revenue will be very busy now.
The carriage swayed and rattled, bypassing Wuzhou and heading straight for the Lanting area.
She wanted to go to Lanjiabao to take a look.
That was my mother's house.
She definitely wanted to go and see it.
After several days of heavy rain, the air in the mountains and along the roads is very fresh.
There are also many newly grown wild vegetables on both sides of the pipe.
Wild ducks occasionally appear among them.
Seeing that Murong Yue had become quieter, Ahao took the initiative to ask, "Is something bothering you, Master?"
Murong Yue nodded.
"Ah, if I didn't have the status of being a relative of the Minister of Revenue..."
"Was we going to be arrested when we were in Jiao County?"
Well...
If that's the case, the people won't fight against the officials.
He's probably, likely, almost certain to be arrested.
Qi Yuan said with unwavering determination, "Master, rest assured, even without that identity, I will still protect you and A-Hao."
Ah Hao blushed.
“Master is already quite skilled; he would be more than capable of protecting himself in such a situation.”
“You’re right,” Murong Yue nodded vigorously.
"But what happens after you protect yourself?"
"Living in hiding? Can you escape the authorities' pursuit?"
"What if they are ordinary people, without status or skills?"
No one spoke.
They were unable to answer their master's questions.
Li Chi, who was driving the carriage ahead, also sighed.
“Master, Jiao County is a special case.”
"The officials in Daqing are mostly good officials."
"Besides, there are governors and garrison troops every now and then, so we can just go and plead our case."
"If even the governor and the garrison can't solve it."
"Then let's go to the capital and lodge a complaint with the emperor!"
"The Empress won't ignore this."
Murong Yue blinked.
It seemed like a thought was floating through my mind.
She murmured, "Yes, I won't just ignore it."
Qi Yuan roughly understood what Murong Yue was thinking.
After thinking for a moment, he decided to play the role of Li Xuanji.
“My lord, as long as those in power are powerful, the officials will be powerful.”
"When a strong person is in power, more people can be saved."
