Your Majesty, the princess is fleeing famine with her child!

Yun Fuling thought this man was someone of great importance, but she didn't expect him to be just the son of a small county magistrate.

The county magistrate is below the county magistrate and is considered the second in command of the county government. However, unlike the county magistrate, who is a formal official who has passed the imperial examination, he cannot be considered an official but only a clerk.

County magistrates can be promoted by accumulating experience.

But it is different for the county magistrate. Unless he has made great political achievements or has some extraordinary encounters, it is difficult for him to be promoted to county magistrate.

Although it is only one step away, most of the county magistrates will remain just a county magistrate until their death.

Moreover, once they become officials, the children of the family will not be eligible to take the imperial examinations, which is equivalent to cutting off their ladder to upward mobility.

However, the advantage of being a clerk is that you can inherit your father's career, unlike officials who have to study hard for ten years and pass the examinations from the academy to the palace level before they can become an official.

Therefore, many of the petty officials in the yamen are local tyrants.

If the county magistrate is incompetent, he may even be controlled by these local tyrants.

The young master of the county magistrate's family in front of me is so arrogant. I'm afraid that the county magistrate of Qingyuan County has considerable power in the local area.

They are now citizens under the jurisdiction of Qingyuan County. If they offend the county magistrate, there are plenty of ways to kill them.

Although Yun Fuling has the title of county lady and the identity of the daughter of a marquis, she cannot use it to pressure others at this time.

It seems that I can only rely on the power of others for the time being.

"So you are the young master of the county magistrate's family. I am so sorry for your disrespect!"

"The young master likes this place, which shows that it is a good place."

"Such a good place was only given to us disaster victims. Master, have you ever thought about why?"

The county magistrate's son saw that Yun Fuling looked calm and fearless, and for a moment he was unsure about the identities of these victims.

He had two major hobbies in his life, one was beauty, the other was fun.

Recently he wanted to find a place with mountains and water to build a farm, where he could play in the water and escape the summer heat, and hunt and barbecue in the mountains. It would be a good place to hang out with friends.

I happened to walk near here a few days ago and fell in love with this place.

He originally wanted to go back and find his father to do something to transfer the land to his name, but he heard people say that this place was unlucky.

But he searched everywhere and couldn't find a more suitable place than this one.

When he made up his mind to build the villa here, he learned that a group of disaster victims had already moved in.

Although it was the government office in the provincial capital that registered his residence, he did not take these disaster victims seriously.

They are just a bunch of lowly people, just give them some silver to get rid of them.

If these people are tactless and refuse to move away, we will resort to other means.

But I didn't expect that I would run into a tough problem just at the first step.

Could it be that these disaster victims have something to rely on?

Because of the breach of the Jiangling Weir and the attempt of the King of Jiangzhou to rebel, the officialdom of the entire Jiangzhou was shaken, and many officials were either killed or exiled.

Almost half of the officials in Jiangzhou were killed.

The Qingyuan County Magistrate was also among them.

The new county magistrate has not been sent out yet, and now Fang, the county magistrate of Qingyuan County, is acting as the county magistrate.

County Magistrate Fang was an ambitious and capable man, and he was unwilling to be a minor official for generations.

It happened that the Jiangzhou officialdom was shaken, and County Magistrate Fang found a way and wanted to take the opportunity to move up to the position of Qingyuan County Magistrate.

Young Master Fang knew what his father was thinking.

If he offended someone outside who shouldn't be offended and ruined his father's plan, his father would definitely beat him to death.

For a moment, the bully Master Fang hesitated.

The guard beside him whispered, "Master, this little girl is probably bluffing."

"Our Qingyuan County is only a lower county, and Shuanglin Village is an ominous place where the entire family was executed."

"I heard that a lot of space has been reserved in the city to accommodate the disaster victims this time."

"There are villages that are better than this one. If they really have someone to rely on, why would they be assigned here?"

The security guard felt that Shuanglin Village was not the best. If Yun Fuling and the others had someone to rely on, they would definitely not be assigned here.

Little did they know that Yun Fuling and her companions arrived at the city much later than other disaster victims because they had to cross Fengluo Mountain.

The better places have long been taken by those who have connections and pathways.

Among the remaining resettlement sites, Shuanglin Village is considered to be the best.

If it weren't for Xiao Jingyi's support behind the scenes, they wouldn't even be able to get a place like Shuanglin Village.

Young Master Fang narrowed his eyes slightly, thinking that what the guard said made sense.

But at this moment, he was more interested in Yun Fuling than the land in Shuanglin Village.

"Little beauty, are you trying to scare me?"

"Why don't you tell me, whose influence did you rely on to get this place?"

Yun Fuling didn't expect that the young master of the county magistrate's family was not scared away.

The only people she has some friendship with now are Shopkeeper Hang and Mr. Gu, but these two can be considered businessmen.

Among the four classes of scholars, farmers, merchants and artisans, the status of merchants is very low. Even if they are brought up, they probably cannot suppress the county magistrate.

Do you want to borrow the power of the Lu family?

She just saved the young master of the Lu family. If she asks the Lu family for help, it should be possible, right?

With the power of the Lu family, there would be no problem in suppressing a small county magistrate.

But it seems a bit of a waste to use such a favor here.

For a moment, Yun Fuling couldn't help but think, why not just kill the county magistrate!

When Master Fang saw Yun Fuling remained silent, he immediately felt that he had guessed right.

This little girl was really trying to scare him.

"Well, as long as you are willing to follow me, my little beauty, I will not touch this land."

"You can continue to live here."

"I am a man who cherishes women the most. My beauty, it is definitely better for you to follow me, wearing gold and silver and commanding servants, than to follow a village man!"

"How can your husband compare to me?"

Young Master Fang had already noticed that Yun Fuling was dressed like a married woman.

However, he has never been particular about food or drink. As long as he likes someone, he doesn't care whether the other person is married or not.

The worst that can happen is that I can give some money to this little beauty's husband.

This kind of thing has happened before.

In the presence of such a beautiful woman, Master Fang's heart was filled with passion and he totally forgot the lesson he had learned previously.

He reached out his hand again eagerly, wanting to touch Yun Fuling's face.

Unexpectedly, a short arrow suddenly whizzed over and pierced directly through his palm.

Along with the short arrows came the sound of horse hooves.

Xiao Jingyi was riding on the horse with a frosty face.

He had excellent hearing since he was a child, and happened to hear the last two sentences that Young Master Fang said.

Now that he knew Lady Yun's true identity, he considered her his wife.

How dare this man flirt with his wife and look down on him? He is really courting death!

Yun Fuling looked at Xiao Jingyi who seemed to have fallen from the sky, and was a little stunned for a moment.

Young Master Fang's palm was pierced by an arrow feather, and he was bleeding and wailing.

Xiao Jingyi held the horsewhip in his hand and whipped him several times on the mouth.

When he was hit from behind, Young Master Fang couldn't even scream.
