Just because she looks weak doesn't mean she's easy to bully.

Manager Mo naturally understood the meaning of his son's words, but he was injured now. Although the wound was no longer bleeding, it was very painful, both in the wound and where he was kicked.

Therefore, Manager Mo remained curled up, tears kept falling, his whole body was shaking, and he bit his lips tightly, trying not to make a sound.

At this moment, people from the county government surrounded the villa, and the county magistrate brought more than a dozen people and went straight to the front hall.

When the county magistrate came in, he saw a girl sitting on a chair in a carefree manner. To be honest, he had never seen such an unruly girl before, but he did not dislike her. Instead, he felt that she was very genuine.

What shocked the county magistrate was that this girl, who was probably not much older than his daughter, was so powerful. She brought these people in and dared to break into Xianyun Villa and do what he wanted to do.

He felt a little ashamed, looked at Cheng Jinchu, and coughed lightly a few times.

“Girl, did you ask my daughter to notify me to bring someone over?”

The county magistrate's tone was very gentle, which gave Cheng Jinchu a good impression. Cheng Jinchu stood up and bowed slightly to greet the county magistrate.

"My Lord County Magistrate, I have asked Miss Ning to bring you the evidence of these people's crimes. Thank you for coming here in person today. The main reason is that I really have no other choice but to take back my things in this way!"

The county magistrate knew about the dirty things the steward had done. He was an ambitious man, but for some reason, perhaps because of his personality, or perhaps because he was in the way, who knows, he was demoted here.

When he got here, he wanted to take charge, but he didn't know where to start. The manpower in his county government was limited, and the people above him wouldn't take charge. The people he could use now were all those who had sworn to follow the old marquis until death, and were also the ones his father gave him to save his life before he died.

He came here a year ago. The previous county magistrate didn't care about these things at all. I heard that he even got a lot of benefits from this magistrate. Because he was demoted, that person helped that person get promoted. What a world!

The county magistrate ordered his men to tie up all of them, and told them to take these lackeys back to the county government office first, and he would take the steward and his son back with him later.

For a moment, there were fewer people in the villa, and the county magistrate ordered two tied-up men to be thrown into the yard.

At this time, there were four people tied up and thrown together in the yard. They were: Manager Mo, Manager Mo's eldest son, Manager Mo's wife and Manager Mo's granddaughter.

"This old woman was trying to run away with her granddaughter, but I happened to intercept her and bring her here!"

Cheng Jinchu looked at the two crying women and curled his lips. That was Manager Mo's granddaughter. He thought Manager Mo was the kind of person who liked pretty girls, so this granddaughter had to be very pretty for him to love her the most. It was, okay! However, this face...

It seems a little familiar, what's going on?

Mo Ling also saw Cheng Jinchu. Although she was shocked by Cheng Jinchu's stunning beauty, of course, she was also envious and jealous. However, this face... looked so familiar. When had she seen it before? It was a long time ago...

"Thank you very much, sir. Manager Mo's youngest son has run away to the mountain. You don't have to worry. I came here this time to ask you a favor, but also to help you."

When he said this, Cheng Jinchu felt very angry again. This damn Manager Mo only caused him trouble.

So, Cheng Jinchu kicked Manager Mo several times again.

It really makes me feel relieved!

"Girl, you don't know, the bandits on the mountain are very powerful. The people here have been terribly harmed by them, but we can't do anything to them. Shame on us!"

Cheng Jinchu smiled.

"You don't need to say that, magistrate. You wanted to do it, but you were powerless to stop such a ruthless bandit. Moreover, you are in a situation where you can't get help from heaven or earth. That person pushed you here, and no matter what you do, you can't escape death."

Ning County Magistrate sighed, thinking back to when he was the top scholar, full of vigor and ambition...

Now, his entire family is suffering with him, and he knows very well that this dead end is difficult to resolve!

"Look, this is a poor and remote place, and it is also on the border with Jinxiu and Rui. You said that bandits are rampant here and the people are suffering. As a county magistrate, you are guilty of doing nothing!

What if you are colluding with these bandits and harming the people?"

When he said this, Cheng Jinchu paused deliberately. Ning Nanfeng just lowered his head and didn't say anything. It seemed that he fully understood his situation, but he didn't think about running away. He just wanted to do something to the best of his ability and be a good official.

Cheng Jinchu would not let such a man die like that.

"This is an even greater crime, County Magistrate. How could this bandit have such a great power? Was your previous County Magistrate promoted just because you wanted to come here and vacate the position for you?"

Magistrate Ning smiled bitterly. This place was suffering. The weather had been bad in recent years and the harvests had not been good. The people were suffering. The emperor was sympathetic and had allocated money and transferred grain, but he just didn't send it here.

How could the emperor know whether the people below had delivered the things? He would be relieved when he heard the people above report that it had been implemented.

In the future, if there are disaster victims fleeing famine, or other incidents, he will be punished by the higher-ups. What can he do now? He has only managed to maintain his family's assets for a year, and he has already emptied his family assets.

Thinking of this, County Magistrate Ning felt like he was about to burst into tears. Not only was he suffering so much, but he also caused his wife and daughter to suffer as well. He didn't know how difficult it was for his sister in her husband's family in the imperial capital.

"Manager Mo, do you want to know who I am? Before you die, be a ghost who knows everything!"

Cheng Jinchu saw that County Magistrate Ning was sad, but couldn't say much. She thought about it, walked up to Manager Mo, and kicked him a few more times.

She found kicking bad guys addictive.

"Think about it, aunt, please tell me who you are!"

Cheng Jinchu snorted coldly.

"I am the daughter of the Shen family, the one you asked your granddaughter to pretend to be! How about it, didn't you expect it?"

When Manager Mo heard this, he couldn't help but tremble.

"You, you, you are not dead?"

Ok?

Have a story?

Cheng Jinchu kicked him a few more times.

"You are the one who died, damn slave, you are really good at hiding things, are you very proud that your master was played around by you?"

When County Magistrate Ning heard what Cheng Jinchu said, he now understood the identity of the girl standing next to him. No wonder he was sent a message asking him to bring people to arrest the manager.

County Magistrate Ning originally didn't believe that he could catch Manager Mo. After he came here, there were so many things to do, big and small, that he was busy and overwhelmed. When his daughter told him about this, he didn't want to come, but was rushed here by his daughter and wife.

What he didn't know was that the reason why Cheng Jinchu went to the county town so early was that they had met before. Cheng Jinchu deliberately went to make friends with the county magistrate's wife and others. The lady had no choice because she actually knew her husband's current predicament.

Cheng Jinchu only showed some of his abilities, which gave them some hope. For people in despair, a little starlight can help them grope forward in the darkness.

Cheng Jinchu ordered his men to throw the four men into the woodshed of the villa and arranged for someone to guard them outside.

Are you kidding? Why didn't she just throw them to the county government office? It was because she was afraid that someone would kidnap them. Also, if she didn't torture them a little, she wouldn't be able to explain to those suffering people and her own sister.

Cheng Jinchu brought Magistrate Ning into the main hall and sat down to discuss matters.

"Sir, now you have seen that a man has escaped!"

The county magistrate nodded and kept wiping the sweat off his face. He was quite aware that this was a big trouble.

"Girl, run now. That bandit is no ordinary person. Over the years, he has become a nightmare for the people here."

Cheng Jinchu was not surprised that County Magistrate Ning could say such words. The county magistrate was a good man. It was a pity that he really had no other choice, otherwise he would not have suggested Cheng Jinchu to run away. Cheng Jinchu thought that the county magistrate was probably ready to die.

"You don't have to worry, sir. I told you that if you helped me get my things back, I will naturally repay you!"

Magistrate Ning felt ashamed and waved his hands.

"What are you talking about, girl? I just brought people here, how can I help you?"

Cheng Jinchu just smiled faintly, and looking at the worried expression on the county magistrate's face about what would happen next, she sighed.

"Sir, I can help you return to the imperial capital. People like you should have a bright future and realize your ambitions. You should not be trapped in this dead end. Do you believe me? Since I said you can help me, naturally I need your help!"

[Ning Nanfeng corrects fate progress by 10%]

What Ning Nanfeng didn't know was that Cheng Jinchu had specifically calculated the time for her action this time. The guest from Xianyun Villa would only be back in the next one or two days, and she didn't come today just because the guest was leaving.

As for why they chose to come today, it was simply because the second in command was out on business, and half of the Flying Tiger Village's men were sent by the first in command to the second in command.

Perhaps, the second in command is coming back, and she must deal with the matter of Feihu Village immediately and get the dragon bone flower.
