After I disguised myself as a man, I became everyone's white moonlight

Chu Xi found the county government office. He did not take the usual route and entered through the main gate. Instead, he found a side door and jumped over the wall to get in.

There were not too many guards guarding the government office. After all, it was just a county government office, not a prosperous place like the capital, so it was impossible to assign it too many guards.

This made things convenient for Chu Xi. She felt her way in and successfully reached the study room of the county government.

The yamen looked much more deserted and shabby than the one in Yunzhou. In the one in Yunzhou, the vases and paintings alone were "valuable items" worth hundreds of taels.

In the capital city where aristocratic families abound, this kind of thing is not even worthy of being displayed in a place to entertain guests, but how much is the monthly salary of a county magistrate?

The presence of so many vases, valuable jades, and calligraphy and paintings is enough to show that the Yunzhou county magistrate is a corrupt official.

Chu Xi was still wary of this "cousin" who had been exiled for two years. People's hearts are fickle, and she was not sure whether the truth that the original owner saw was the whole truth?

Many officials who are sent to other places will be affected. Their original enthusiasm and passion for serving the people will cool down with the reality.

Now, judging from the furnishings in the government office, this cousin has not changed on the surface, but I don’t know if his heart is consistent!

Chu Xi did not alarm other people. Even if there were patrolling guards, with her martial arts skills she could easily move in without alarming those people.

She quietly walked to the outside of the county government's study, where two people were talking.

"Master, what's the situation in Yunzhou City?" A young man's voice came from the room.

"Master, don't worry. His Royal Highness the Prince of Yan has already rushed to Yunzhou with disaster relief funds and medicinal materials. He must be dealing with the disaster now."

"I received a letter from the capital yesterday. My aunt said in the letter that Qi Bai also followed the Prince of Yan to Yunzhou. My aunt is worried. Please go and find out about the situation in Yunzhou for me."

The master was sent out of the house, and the next second a sharp gaze was cast towards the place where Chu Xi was hiding.

"Who?"

A man rushed out of the house, quickly drew his sword, and pointed it at where she was hiding.

She was wearing a moon-white robe and had an elegant appearance, similar to Zhou Yichen's temperament, but the latter was born into a royal family, so she had a bit more of the pressure of a high-ranking person and the royal elegance and grace.

This cousin is a gentleman like jade, who is as sharp as a knife and as polished as a jade.

Even when he was wielding a sword to kill someone, he still seemed as clean as jade.

Chu Xi didn't expect that her cousin was so perceptive. She had been hiding here for only a few moments, but was discovered so quickly.

This person's kung fu is definitely good.

She couldn't hide any longer, so she had to show up.

"Cousin, my name is Qibai." Chu Xi follows the local customs. She remembers that those who had a good relationship with her liked to call her by her courtesy name, such as Zhou Yichen who always called her Qibai.

As a result, she almost forgot that the original owner's name was Chu Jiang.

This cousin's name is Yun Jiyou, and his courtesy name is Zishu.

Yun Zishu was surprised, "Qibai, didn't you go to Yunzhou with King Yan? How come?"

Chu Xi revealed an indescribable smile, and then glanced at the sword in Yun Zishu's hand.

"Come in first, tell me what you have to say." Yun Zishu put the sword into the scabbard with a helpless look and looked towards the study.

Chu Xi was not polite. Yun Zishu did not focus much on the description of him in the book. As the cousin of the original owner, he was too gentle in nature. He occasionally provided help to the original owner, but that was only because the original owner was his cousin.

The Yun family is different from Chu Xi. Chu Xi stood in the camp of King Yan on behalf of his personal standpoint, and also because of their friendship as study companions.

The Yun family has no friendship with the King of Yan, and they have nothing to do with the Cui family behind the King of Yan. It is impossible for Yun Zishu to let his entire family take risks for the King of Yan.

Because the Yun family chose to protect themselves, they didn't have many scenes in the later period, and when they appeared occasionally it was only when they interacted with Chu Xi.

This resulted in Chu Xi not having a very deep understanding of Yun Zishu, and he could only judge based on his past memories that he was 70% trustworthy.

The remaining 30%...

It all depends on fate and luck.

The study was very simple. Apart from the desk, there were only two wooden racks for files. The racks were made of ordinary wood and there was a hard bed inside.

"When I was too busy with a case, I was too lazy to go back, so I just slept here." Yun Zishu followed Chu Jiang's gaze and explained casually when he saw the bed.

Chu Xi knew that some things could be disguised, but daily habits could not be disguised, such as the clothes on the body, paper, ink and inkstone, which could not conceal too much.

In terms of details, Yun Zishu is still a relatively frugal person. The Yun family is not short of money, but the Yun family has always been a noble family and a family of scholars. This kind of family is not short of money, but they cannot spend money lavishly.

It was impossible for Yun Zishu to bring too much silver when he was sent abroad.

Whether or not the people's money is being exploited depends entirely on these details.

"Cousin, I came to you because I was desperate. I believe you have heard about the situation in Yunzhou. The county magistrate of Yunzhou City lied to the superiors and the subordinates. There were three thousand patients infected with the plague, but they only reported three hundred."

Yun Zishu frowned when he heard this. He only knew that there were patients infected with the disease in Yunzhou, but he didn't know the exact number. Now he heard...

There were as many as three thousand people, which was truly horrifying.

"The medicinal materials Your Highness brought from the capital are only enough for one thousand people. The remaining two thousand people will have no medicine to treat. I am here to seek help from my cousin on the orders of Your Highness, hoping that he can temporarily help us solve the problem of Yunzhou."

"I will keep it in my heart and repay you one day."

To show his seriousness, Chu Xi bowed and bent over 90 degrees.

Yun Zishu stopped Chu Xi from doing this and pulled her up. "Qibai, you don't have to be so polite to me. I just learned about Yunzhou's affairs. Don't worry, I will definitely help you with the medicinal materials."

He didn't want to get involved in the fight for the throne, but the people were different after all. This was not about helping the King of Yan, but about saving thousands of disaster victims.

The jade pendant that Chu Xi hid inside his clothes was of no use at all, and Yun Zishu just agreed to it.

This took her a little by surprise.

"Qi Bai, who am I in your heart? Would you just watch the people suffer and do nothing?" Yun Zishu seemed to see the surprise in Chu Xi's eyes.

Chu Xi smiled. Although she had only been in this world for a few days, she had seen a lot of swords and sabers.

She is an orphan and is more cautious than most people. After this incident, it is even more difficult for her to trust others.

"Qi Bai didn't mean that. He was just worried that the herbal medicine shops in Zhuozhou would have trouble supplying the herbs needed by more than 2,000 people in Yunzhou." Chu Xi kept his words and thought to the end.

Yun Zishu didn't mind Chu Jiang's stubbornness, he just chuckled, "I will go find someone to raise the herbs now, I will do my best on this matter."

Chu Xi nodded, "Thank you, cousin."

"There's no need to thank me between you and me." Yun Zishu smiled.

Nalan family settled in an inconspicuous mansion in Zhuozhou, which was originally the title deed of Nalan family.

"The young master is back."

The follower who pushed open the door and came in knelt on the ground with a pale face, "I am incompetent and I lost the person."
