After her fate was taken away, she was favored by her five brothers.

When Wang Er was a constable, he was used to being ferocious when interrogating criminals. As soon as he glared at her, the maid was so frightened that she dared not move.

"I'm going to let go of your mouth now. If you tell the truth, we'll let you go. If you scream, be careful or I'll kill you."

The maid was also smart and nodded quickly.

Wang Er let go of the maid, and heard the maid say, "Today, the Xie Mansion did send a girl. Our master took a fancy to that girl, so the Xie family master arranged for someone to send her here. She is now in the master's courtyard."

As soon as the maid finished speaking, she was knocked unconscious by Wang Er's slap.

Yun Zhiqian no longer cared about the danger or not. He was just afraid that Mei Shuyu would be hurt.

"Wang Er, if you help me get the person out today, I will definitely repay you in the future."

Wang Er said: "No need, County Magistrate Kong is also my enemy, he is responsible for my brother's death."

Wang Er was familiar with the county government office. With his guidance, the two of them soon arrived at County Magistrate Kong's courtyard.

Yun Zhiqian became anxious when he thought that Mei Shuyu might be hurt, and wanted to break into the house directly.

The servant on duty in the yard saw a stranger breaking in. Knowing that the stranger had bad intentions, he wanted to catch Yun Zhiqian, but was stopped by Wang Er who followed.

When Yun Zhiqian pushed the door open, he saw Mei Shuyu with her hands and feet tied and something stuffed in her mouth, looking at County Magistrate Kong with hatred.

County Magistrate Kong was trying to persuade Mei Shuyu to obey him.

The door was pushed open and they both looked towards the door.

While Magistrate Kong was still not able to react, Yun Zhiqian ran forward, picked up a porcelain vase ornament nearby, and smashed it directly at Magistrate Kong.

When County Magistrate Kong reacted, his head had been hit and the porcelain bottle was shattered all over the floor.

His heart was bleeding with pain. This porcelain vase was an object from the previous dynasty and was extremely valuable. He had bought it with great difficulty, and now it was broken like this. His eyes were almost spitting fire.

Regardless of his headache, County Magistrate Kong shouted, "Come here, come here quickly, catch the assassin."

The moment Mei Shuyu saw Yun Zhiqian, she struggled to get up, her eyes full of helplessness.

Yun Zhiqian felt a pain in his heart and comforted him, "Don't be afraid, Shuyu. I'm here to save you."

He stepped forward to help Mei Shuyu untie the rope, but before the rope was untied, more than a dozen yamen runners rushed into the yard, and Yun Zhiqian hurriedly protected Mei Shuyu.

When Wang Er saw this scene, he thought that if one person was captured, then two people would be captured as well. He would just be asking for his death if he stayed here, so he jumped over the wall and escaped.

The yamen runners were also dissatisfied with what County Magistrate Kong had done. Knowing that the two men were there to rescue the girl, they pretended to be there and let Wang Er go.

County Magistrate Kong ordered: "Tie him up for me."

The yamen runners sighed secretly and had to surround the people, but they surrounded County Magistrate Kong in the circle.

Yun Zhiqian reacted very quickly. He squatted down and picked up a piece of broken porcelain bottle. He walked forward and grabbed County Magistrate Kong's neck with one hand, and stabbed him with the broken piece with the other hand: "Don't come over here. If you dare to come over, I will kill him."

Seeing this, the yamen runner said, "Mr. Yun, please don't do anything stupid."

County Magistrate Kong also reacted and realized that these yamen runners seemed to know the man.

"Your last name is Yun? Do you know Yun Zhiqian?"

Because the surname Yun is a rare surname, and there are not many people with the surname Yun in Shiqiao Town, County Magistrate Kong just asked casually, but he didn't expect the man who controlled him to say, "I am Yun Zhiqian."

County Magistrate Kong narrowed his eyes and asked, "Do you know each other?"

He was asking about Yun Zhiqian and Mei Shuyu.

Mei Shuyu was sent by the head of the Xie family.

Just because Patriarch Xie knew that two children of the Yun family, Yun Zhiqian and Yun Zhiyan, had signed up for the college entrance examination, he wanted to ask Magistrate Kong to remove them from the list.

But County Magistrate Kong had already submitted the list, and Mr. Xie asked him to think of a solution. County Magistrate Kong said that he had a good relationship with the prefect, and it was just a matter of removing two lists, so he could help with that.

But he couldn't do this favor for free, he had a condition.

Once he sent his daughter Kong Xue to study in Mei Garden. He fell in love with Mei Shuyu at first sight. Knowing that Mei Shuyu was unmarried, he started to make plans.

If Mei Shuyu became his woman, not only could he keep her in the county government office as a teacher for these female relatives, but he wouldn't have to pay a penny. Wouldn't that be wonderful?

At that time, neither Kong Xue nor the Xie family’s children will have to pay a penny for tuition.

The head of the Xie family did not agree at first, because he knew that although the Mei family had declined in the capital, they were a family of scholars and were respected by some powerful people in the capital. The female students taught by Mei Shuyu were also from big families in the capital and it would be difficult to offend them.

County Magistrate Kong persuaded her that women were like that. Once they had sex, they would be completely devoted to the man and follow him willingly without any thought of revenge.

Patriarch Xie thought of what the steward had reported to him a few days ago, that Mei Shuyu seemed to have a good relationship with Yun Zhiqian, and that she was almost poached by the prefectural governor's mansion. The more he thought about it, the angrier he became, and finally he agreed.

County Magistrate Kong did not expect that Yun Zhiqian and Mei Shuyu also knew each other, and judging from their reactions, they seemed like a perfect couple.
