"Give me a bowl of porridge."

"Okay." The waiter filled a big bowl for him.

The old man looked at the big bowl of porridge and his heart trembled. My God, what price would he have to pay for such a bowl of porridge?

"Grandpa, I'm so hungry, so hungry." The granddaughter started making a fuss again.

The old man was determined and drank it. After a while, nothing happened. But the warm feeling in his stomach told him that he had strength again.

The old man's eyes lit up, "Nannan, it's not poisonous. Come, drink it too."

The little girl drank from the old man's hand, "Grandpa, this porridge is delicious."

With the first person eating crabs, others lined up one after another. They had been hungry for a long time, so even if they had to pay a price to finish this meal, they accepted it.

The old man swallowed the last drop of porridge reluctantly. He looked longingly at the stall that was still distributing porridge.

The waiter noticed him, snatched his bowl, poured another bowl of porridge into it, and unceremoniously put two steamed buns on top of it, which was so generous that the old man's eyes widened.

Is this okay?

Seeing the other party's flattered look, the waiter smiled and said, "Don't be afraid. This is sponsored by a kind person, and they asked us to feed you."

Big tears rolled out of the old man's cloudy eyes, "Who is this living immortal? He really has the heart of a bodhisattva."

"He really is a god." The waiter saw Shen Qing sitting on a chair, smiling as he looked at the porridge.

I couldn't help shouting, "Look, that's the kind person who helped us."

The old man looked in the direction of his finger and saw a smart and handsome young boy sitting there, looking like an immortal who was about to fly to the sky.

The old man knelt down tremblingly, "Thank you, God, for saving my life."

Shen Qing just watched from the side for a while, and then a group of people knelt down in front of her.

There are even some elderly people among them.

Shen Qing quickly covered his face and turned around, saying, "I can't bow down like that!"

I glanced at her from the side. Why was she still kneeling and calling her a fairy?

"Get up, get up." Shen Qing couldn't bear these great gifts. She quickly called on everyone to get up, and some elderly people helped her up personally.

The old man held her hand and said, "If it weren't for you, we would have starved to death."

"Everyone's life will get better and better." Shen Qing patted his hand comfortingly.

Some people came with their children. "Children, go and worship her. You must remember who fed you today and be grateful, okay?"

"Thank you, little immortal." They knelt down again.

After finally persuading everyone to wake up, Shen Qing breathed a sigh of relief.

But looking at the happy looks on everyone's faces, Shen Qing also felt warm in his heart.

She looked at the old man next to her and asked, "Grandpa, I want to ask you something."

"Ask whatever you want to ask. I've been in this county for so many years, there's nothing I don't know."

"I heard that the former county magistrate and chief clerk both died mysteriously. Is someone seeking revenge?"

The old man said angrily: "It's a good death! He should have died long ago!"

Seeing Shen Qing's surprise, the old man explained: "Actually, it's not convenient for me to talk about this matter, but now that he's dead, I can finally tell it."

"This Moliang County was originally a medium-sized county. Many merchants would pass by here. For a time, the county was extremely prosperous. At that time, the most prosperous family in the county was the Lu family. Unfortunately, a fire took away all the people in the Lu family."

Fire? A natural disaster or a man-made disaster?

"After a fire, some people rushed into the Lu family's house and wanted to rob the Lu family's property to make a fortune, but found that there was nothing left. Some people said that the county magistrate had set fire to the family's property. After the Lu family tragedy, other merchants also moved out of Moliang County. The county magistrate was greedy, and Moliang County was remote and unsupervised. He didn't care and increased taxes. All the grain in our hands was emptied, and things got worse and worse. In just a few years, Moliang County was reduced to a lower county due to a sharp decline in population. A county magistrate starved the people to death by himself. That's why I said he should have died long ago!"

"So that's the case. Then when did Magistrate Li take office?"

"County Magistrate Li was demoted. He was originally the county magistrate. Not long after the previous county magistrate died suddenly, County Magistrate Li took over."

"So that's how it is." Shen Qing felt that County Magistrate Li was more and more extraordinary.

"It is precisely because he was demoted that he has no roots in Moliang County. When he heard that the old lady of the Gao family was celebrating her birthday, he sent someone to give her a gift, but it seems that someone died."

"Oh~" Shen Qing nodded thoughtfully.

It was getting darker and the moon was disappearing behind the clouds.

County Magistrate Li sat on a cushion and worshipped the Bodhisattva. "Please bless me, Bodhisattva, bless me..."

"County magistrate, I have captured the rebellious vixen..." Shen Qing held the fox by the scruff of its neck. The fiery red fox fur looked smooth and beautiful.

Magistrate Li opened his eyes, stood up suddenly, and went to meet him, "Did the immortal catch the monster?"

Shen Qing smiled proudly and said, "Of course, take a look, is this the one you saw in your dream?"

Magistrate Li looked at the guy being toyed with casually by Shen Qing like a dead fox, and was overjoyed, "Yes, yes."

"Take a closer look."

County Magistrate Li took a closer look and could almost smell the scent of a fox, but why did its belly move?

Magistrate Li didn't have time to react and was slapped away by Xiaolu's tail.

The county magistrate was stunned, "Little Immortal, the fox is not dead."

Shen Qing stared at him innocently, stroking the fox's soft fur from time to time, "When did I say it was dead?"

Seeing the fox nestling in Shen Qing's arms, but Shen Qing had no intention of "bringing it to justice", Magistrate Li seemed to understand something, and stood up and tried to run out, but was entangled by Shen Qing's magic.

"Why are you running? I told you that the formation is the safest place, County Magistrate~"

"My God, what are you doing?"

"Let's not beat around the bush. Does the county magistrate really not understand?" Shen Qing looked at him with amusement.

His body was restrained, but Magistrate Li still didn't understand, "How did you find out something was wrong?"

Shen Qing sighed, "County Magistrate~ You are still not very good at lying. You have been full of loopholes from the very beginning. You even dreamed that a fox ate you. If the one who caused the trouble was really a fox spirit, then why are you still alive?"

"Also, what you did was too obvious. The deceased has been dead for so many days, and there is still such a strong smell of fox in the tomb. It's not like the fox peed on it... Ouch!"

Xiaolu took a bite of Shen Qing. How bold! This rude woman!

"Also, the people are not deaf and blind. Sometimes they have sharp eyes."

"The county magistrate has committed many evil deeds and is not tolerated by the people. Once he dies, you will be able to take over the position. How could this be such a coincidence?"
