New Return of the Pearl: A Different Qing Er

Chapter 26: The 3rd Trial! A Human Colander!

In the blink of an eye, the emperor's four great worlds were finished, and Yongqi handed it to County Magistrate Bai.

"Magister Bai, I hope that you will be an upright person and eliminate evil in a earth-shaking way. Make your people happy and make Rong County a paradise." The emperor explained the four great worlds bestowed upon him, which were also his expectations for Magistrate Bai.

"Thank you, Your Majesty. I will hang these four great heavens and earth high above the government office, and always bear in mind Your Majesty's instructions, and make sure to do the four great heavens and earth." County Magistrate Bai also quickly expressed his attitude. "Your Majesty, I wonder if I would have the honor to invite Your Majesty and everyone to dinner?"

"No, no, eating here is disturbing the people." The emperor quickly refused. "Erkang, we should get going!"

Everyone left amidst a chorus of respectful farewells.

In the carriage

"I never expected that the county magistrate was actually Mr. Qian." Ziwei recalled what had just happened and couldn't help but sigh, "Qing'er, I didn't expect you to be so accurate in judging people. We didn't expect that he would be the target of the villagers' ridicule."

The emperor also looked at Song Qing and asked with a smile, "Yes, Qing'er, the Lord Qian we just met, how do you know that he may not have good governance?"

Even Xiaoyanzi looked at Song Qing. If there wasn't curiosity in their eyes, Song Qing would have thought that they were planning a trial!

"Actually, I didn't see it that accurately!" Song Qing couldn't say that she knew the plot, so she could only make up something on the spot. "It's true that those villagers came to see him off, but there are two sides to every story. We only saw the villagers' enthusiasm at the time, but we didn't think that if the people really loved the county magistrate so much, they would never be so happy. In short, they should be mostly regretful and reluctant to let him go, but at the time, I could only see the joy of relief in their eyes, so I said that he might not have such a good policy."

Song Qing's lies were so out of control that she almost believed them. But when she looked at the three people opposite her, all of whom had expressions of "oh so it is", she felt that she might have some potential to be a pyramid schemer.

"Thinking back now, what Qing'er said was indeed right!" Ziwei said after she reacted.

"Hahaha, I didn't expect Qing'er's observation ability to be so outstanding." The emperor said with a smile. Obviously, he also thought Song Qing's explanation just now made sense.

Song Qing smiled and said nothing more.

Ertai, who was outside the carriage, felt that Song Qing's explanation made sense, and it was similar to what he had thought at the time. However, he always felt that Song Qing was not so sure just because of these reasons. However, he would always wait until Song Qing told him in person what the reason was. He had plenty of time and could afford to wait!

Inn

"Oh my god! Today was really exciting. We caught a corrupt official and saw a big scene." Xiaoyanzi said excitedly, "Turtledove, don't be so stern today. What's wrong with you today? Otherwise, I'll make you do somersaults. I'm in a good mood today and don't want to be angry with you at all. If you're still angry, it's really for nothing, because I don't know what you're angry about."

"I'm not angry with you!" Benjamin said helplessly, "Yes, if I was angry, it would be white!"

"What are you talking about? I don't understand." Yongqi asked in confusion when he saw that Xiaoyanzi and Benjamin were talking in a confusing manner.

"Qing'er knows about this matter, you can go ask Qing'er!" Benjamin felt that it would be clearer if Song Qing explained it.

"Ah?" Song Qing was distracted for a moment, and then she found herself being called out. She was completely speechless. "What did you say? I didn't hear you just now."

"Benjamin asked you what Xiaoyanzi did last night." Ertai explained when he saw Song Qing's confused look.

"Ah, this..." Song Qing said simply, "Last night, Xiaoyanzi helped Yongqi and Benjamin tie some red ribbons."

"How much is some?" Ziwei asked.

As expected, he was alert and grasped the key point of the problem immediately.

"Probably twenty or thirty!" Song Qing thought for a while and said.

"What! Twenty or thirty!" Yongqi was really shocked when he heard the number.

But he didn't want to scold Xiaoyanzi, he just said, "Thank you for your trouble, but it's all in vain!"

"Hahaha, Xiaoyanzi, the red rope you tie will become white!" Erkang joked.

"Erkang, you are still making fun of me! Be careful or I will punish you!" Xiaoyanzi pretended to threaten.

"It's not that easy to teach my brother a lesson. I'm afraid it will be a waste of time." Ertai also teased with a smile.

"Okay, okay, you all want to piss me off, right?" Xiaoyanzi responded with a smile, "Humph, I won't fall for your tricks! I'll just let you piss me off for nothing."

"I've always thought that if Yue Lao was in charge of marriages in the world, he would be very busy." Ziwei suddenly said, "If it weren't for the master, I'm afraid that bearded man's marriage would have been ruined too."

"Anyway, I grew up in a temple, so I..." Xiaoyanzi continued without thinking too much. Before she finished speaking, she was pulled aside by Yongqi. Everyone was a little worried. Xiaoyanzi's mouth was really reckless.

Seeing this situation, Song Qing knew that they were afraid that she would discover their secrets, but in fact their worries were unnecessary, after all, Song Qing had always known.

"Ah! I mean! I live next to the temple." Xiaoyanzi reacted after Yongqi's reminder and changed her words, "Who cares if it works or not? Anyway, I just help everyone do good things. But some people just don't appreciate it."

"Xiaoyanzi, if you were the matchmaker, I'm afraid the world would be in chaos!" Erkang is such a cruel man and he comes to make fun of Xiaoyanzi again.

"Hey, you look down on me, but I am still your matchmaker. Have you forgotten? If it weren't for me, I..." Xiaoyanzi's mouth is really careless. In less than five minutes, she has let slip a lot.

Fortunately, Ziwei stepped on her foot and Yongqi blocked her mouth immediately, otherwise Song Qing was really worried that she would say everything.

"Ah, I meant, I helped you tie the red ribbon too." Xiaoyanzi's lie was so crude. It was Song Qing who accompanied her to tie the red ribbon yesterday. How could she not know who Xiaoyanzi tied it for!

But Song Qing didn't say anything. After all, Xiaoyanzi always spoke like that.

Ertai felt uncomfortable when he saw that everyone was on guard against Song Qing. The girl he liked was so sensitive that she would definitely notice that they were all on guard against her. Would she be sad because of this?

He really wanted her to become one of them, but this path was too dangerous. Once the matter was revealed without complete guarantees, they would be at risk of losing their heads at any time.

Therefore, no matter how much he feared that she would be sad, he could not just ignore her and bring her into this fire pit.

Although he knew that Song Qing had a secret concerning them, he could not afford such a risk and he was reluctant to do so.
