A strong farm girl is busy getting rich

It was already dark, and a crescent moon hung high in the sky, contrasting with the snow on the ground, making the scenery at the alleys and street corners clearly visible.

The people on the street had long since dispersed, and everything seemed to have returned to calm.

However, Ping'an Town is destined not to be peaceful tonight.

The two followers that Chen Shijun left at the city gate had already understood the situation almost completely, so they went to the county government office to find their master and report the situation as agreed.

They arrived at the gate of the county government office, bowed to the two gatekeepers, and said, "Excuse me, where is our Lord Chen now?"

The officer guarding the gate was stunned, not understanding what they were talking about, and then asked: "Master Chen? What Master Chen? Our county magistrate is Master Yao, and our chief clerk is Master Su. There is no Master Chen you are talking about!"

The two followers looked at each other, and one of them said, "Our lord is the imperial envoy Chen from the capital. Could it be that he didn't come to your county government?"

"You are from the capital, my lord the imperial envoy?"

The two officers also looked at each other and looked at the two people in front of them. They were not wearing official uniforms, so they didn't know whether what they said was true or false!

But one of the officers still went in to report.

Chen Shijun's two followers were puzzled. Lord Chen clearly said that he would come directly to the Ping'an Town County Office. It seemed that he did not come. Otherwise, how could the officials not know about such an important matter as the visit of the imperial envoy?

In the study of the county government, County Magistrate Yao was sitting at the desk, looking worriedly at two thick stacks of documents.

The pile on the left was a pile of disaster reports from various villages, all of which were requests for his support;

On the right are the complaints that have been submitted in the past few days. Someone's chickens were stolen, or someone was robbed when going out, and they were asking him to help solve the case.

County Magistrate Yao was in a state of panic. With so many people affected by the disaster, how could he support them?

He also knew that many robberies had occurred in recent days, but most of the county government's staff had been sent to various villages, so they really had no time to catch the thieves!

County Magistrate Yao was in a miserable state! He had thought that after the New Year, he would be able to leave here smoothly and go to the capital to take up a post, but he did not expect to encounter such a natural disaster!

At this time, there was a knock on the door.

"Come in!"

County Magistrate Yao rubbed his brows and leaned back in his chair before answering.

The official pushed the door open and reported, "Sir, there are two people outside, saying they are looking for the imperial envoy Chen from the capital."

County Magistrate Yao sat up suddenly and asked again, "What did you just say? The imperial envoy from the capital?"

The officer said, "Yes, sir. The two men said they were looking for their Lord Chen, who is now outside the door."

County Magistrate Yao was a little puzzled. He had written a memorial before, requesting help from his superiors for disaster relief. According to the date, the officials who came to provide disaster relief should have arrived.

However, the imperial envoy hasn’t even arrived yet, so why is someone coming to look for us?

"Quick, go out and take a look!"

County Magistrate Yao said that if we went out and took a look, we would know what was going on.

Magistrate Yao and the constable came out of the county government office one after another, and immediately saw two people waiting outside the door.

Thinking that these two people might be the Imperial Envoy's subordinates, County Magistrate Yao did not dare to neglect them and said, "I am the County Magistrate of Ping'an Town. I heard that you two are here to see the Imperial Envoy. What is going on?"

"Your Excellency means that our Master Chen has not been here?"

County Magistrate Yao was surprised and said, "I have been in the county government office all day, but I have never seen the Lord Chen you mentioned!"

He seemed to have thought of something and said, "You two, please come in and talk."

Chen Shijun's two followers did not refuse and followed County Magistrate Yao into the county government office.

After listening to the two followers' explanation of the matter, County Magistrate Yao felt a little uneasy.

It seems that the imperial envoy really came to their Ping'an Town. He should have come to the county government office early in the morning, but now he is missing. Could something have happened in their Ping'an Town?

However, he still said to the two followers: "You two wait here for a while. Perhaps Master Chen was delayed by something. He may be back soon!"

Then, he called an official and ordered, "Take someone out to inquire and see if there is any news about Lord Chen!"

"Yes, sir." The officer took the order and went out.

Lan Yaju. Ye You knocked on the door of the private room where Qiao Peiwen was and walked in.

He glanced at Liu Yuyao beside Qiao Peiwen, seeming to want to say something but stopping himself.

Qiao Peiwen said, “Yeyou, Yuyao is one of us, but you can talk about it.”

Hearing this, Liu Yuyao was secretly delighted. Qiao Peiwen had just said that she was one of their own. It seemed that her relationship with Qiao Peiwen had taken a step forward!

Ye You said: "Master, the person has been sent to Hongxiangyuan."

That’s right, Qiao Peiwen asked Ye You to capture Yingzi and Chen Shijun and send them to Hongxiangyuan.

When he heard that the matter was accomplished, Qiao Peiwen was in a very good mood.

He waved his hand and let Ye You go.

Qiao Peiwen poured a glass of wine for Liu Yuyao and said, "Sister Yuyao, you have helped a lot today. Come, Brother Peiwen will toast you."

Liu Yuyao picked up the cup and said with a smile: "Brother Peiwen, what are you talking about? Peiqing and I are like sisters. It is my honor to work for Brother Peiwen.

Besides, Brother Peiwen has only avenged half of his revenge. Haven't the sisters from the Shen family come to settle accounts with them yet?"

Qiao Peiwen said: "Don't worry, they can't escape. It will be their turn tomorrow morning!"

"Then I'll come earlier tomorrow and go with Brother Peiwen!" Liu Yuyao said.

She had been waiting for this day for a long time, and finally saw those people from the Shen family getting into trouble. How could she not be there?

Qiao Peiwen looked at Liu Yuyao. Her face was flushed from drinking, making her look more beautiful than usual.

Suddenly, an idea came to Qiao Peiwen's mind. After returning from the hospital in Beijing, he could feel that his body had improved, but he had never tried it with a woman!

Today, I have it ready, so I can give it a try.

Qiao Peiwen smiled evilly, took Liu Yuyao's hand, and said, "Come over earlier tomorrow? Why don't you just not go back tonight?"

"what?"

Liu Yuyao was stunned. Although she was a little drunk, her mind was still clear.

She knew exactly what Qiao Peiwen meant. However, she wanted to marry Qiao Peiwen and become the eldest lady of the Qiao family, not be his plaything!

Liu Yuyao pulled back her hand and said in a panic: "Brother Peiwen, this, this is not appropriate. We, our relationship..."

"Don't worry, Sister Yuyao, I will be responsible for you."

Qiao Peiwen interrupted her and promised.

Liu Yuyao is not stupid. How could she believe what a drunk man said? Maybe he was just in the heat of the moment!

"Brother Peiwen, it's getting late. I'll go back first. See you tomorrow!"

Liu Yuyao said this and stood up and walked out.
