To support exiled officials, start by worshipping the God of Wealth

Jiang Jing tucked her quilt and said in a hoarse voice, "You had a fever last night, so I didn't dare to sleep. Are you feeling better now?"

Jiusu felt for a moment and found nothing uncomfortable. She shook her head and said, "I'm fine. You take a nap. I'll go see Xiangchi."

She put on her clothes and kissed the man on the forehead.

Jiang Jing's lips curled up.

But she was so sleepy that her eyelashes trembled. "Be careful..."

Jiusu lit some charcoal fire, then closed the door and went to the yard. Zhongqin opened the woodshed and found that the people inside had woken up from the cold. Jiusu asked.

"Chief, did you sleep well?"

Xiang Chi immediately perked up, his whole body trembling. "Princess, I'm wrong. I admit everything. Please, please let me warm up and have some hot water!"

His mouth was like a cold pond.

Very uncomfortable.

Jiusu chuckled: "I agree."

Zhongqin untied the rope on Xiangchi, but the vigilance in her eyes did not diminish at all. She closed the windows and doors, Zitan and Kou Shao.

Brought hot tea and a stove.

Kou Shao said, "This good tea will help clear out the bad water in your stomach!"

I feel hungry after drinking tea.

Xiang Chi asked for food. He ate very well and felt warm all over. He looked at the princess in front of him and kept getting more and more angry: "I'm sleepy and need a nap."

Tsk, women are just soft-hearted.

Wait for him to find an opportunity to escape.

Jiusu's eyes turned cold, and he raised his head slightly, "Are you sleepy? Zhongqin, let him sleep forever."

Zhongqin pulled out a dagger and stabbed Xiangchi.

Xiang Chi was scared, waved his hands, and begged: "No, no, no, it's my fault, I'll tell you."

Zhongqin grabbed his collar and threatened him harshly.

"Speak! If you dare to tell a lie, you will never see the sun again."

Xiang Chi sat on the ground, breathing heavily. He talked about everything from the time he met the sponsor until now. "This is how it is. It's not my fault. Who made those people so stupid as to believe the legend of the mountain god?"

Typical of unrepentant people.

Jiusu got some very useful information from his words. The county magistrates in various counties were all from the same nest of snakes and rats, and none of them were good people. She sneered.

"Leave a whole body."

Zitan helped Jiusu out of the dormitory, only to hear a scream from inside. Xiangchi died on the spot with blood splattering.

Jiusu said, "Hang it at the entrance of the village and spread the news. Ten days later, I will compensate the victims for their debts."

The body was hung at the entrance of the village, and every dog passing by would say something.

Five days later, Bai Luoxue brought the girls back. She lowered her head and said, "Jiusu, many of the girls have already gotten married. They don't want to come back, but they said they will come back to visit when they have the chance."

Jiusu understood and respected their choice. "Let's tell their family."

Some parents are angry, some are helpless, and some are crying...

However, at least they knew the children's addresses, and it would be great if they could see them before they died in this life.

Ten days flew by.

Several people in official uniforms arrived at Shuiyun Town. They did not dare to take a carriage and came on foot. When they arrived at the village, they pretended to cry.

They knelt in front of Ji Fu and pleaded earnestly.

"I have come from Sunan County, over a hundred miles away, and have brought with me ten thousand taels of silver. Your Highness and Princess, please review it."

"I have come from Suxi County, two hundred and eleven miles away, with eleven thousand taels of silver, to support the prince and princess."

Several officials behind him echoed the sentiment.

It seems that whoever gets more money is more powerful.

Kneeling at the very edge was a dirty middle-aged man in a gray-black, coarse cloth. He said in a dejected voice, "I brought one ounce of silver, but I used it all up on food expenses on the way. I also brought evidence of the crimes of several gentlemen."

Hearing this, the other county magistrates all looked at this man.

Zhang Dahai, the magistrate of Suxi County, frowned and warned, "Tan Chen, you want to die, don't you?"

The courtyard door opened.

Ming Heng looked at them and said coldly, "My master asked the person who just spoke to come into the house."

Just now? They all rushed to rush into the courtyard, hoping to find the prince and princess.

Ming Heng drew his sword: "I'm talking about him."

Tan Chen immediately stood up from the ground. He smiled, patted the two adults on the shoulders, raised an eyebrow and said, "Make way, please?"

They were speechless, but could only move aside.

Watching Tan Chen enter the courtyard.

Zhang Dahai clenched his fist and cursed in dissatisfaction: "What a villain who has succeeded. All right, everyone, stop looking and continue to kneel."

Tan Chen entered the yard with his head down. He only dared to look up when he was led into the main room.

The main reason is that the food on the table smells so good.

He couldn't help but say: "This humble official greets the prince and princess."

Jiusu asked, "I heard you only had one ounce of silver, and you spent it on the road?"

"Yes," Tan Chen said, "this little ounce of silver was collected by the common people for me. They were afraid that I would be beheaded if I couldn't pay any more."

Jiusu raised an eyebrow, "So, you are still a good official who is loved by the people?"

Tan Chen lowered his head again, his voice filled with regret: "I am not a good official. I failed to feed the people, and I failed to save their lives."

Bai Luoxue whispered in Jiusu's ear, "He's indeed a good official. Gao Jing and I have been to the county he manages. It's quite nice, but a little poor. His wife quarrels with him every day, saying he's hypocritically kind, doesn't make money, and has nothing but talent. He'd be better off being a corrupt official."

Jiusu nodded in understanding.

If that's the case, then it's really a case of an honest official emerging from a nest of rotten melons. She said, "County Magistrate Tan, please sit down and eat with us."

Tan Chen swallowed his saliva, stood up, and sat down in the lower seat awkwardly. "Is this okay?"

Zitan brought bowls and chopsticks, and sat down with Kou Shao and others.

She said, "My young lady has a good temper. As long as what you say is true, the prince and princess will not do anything."

I saw that the maids and guards were able to sit at the table and eat together.

Tan Chen sighed, truly having met a wise master. He took a mouthful of rice, and the glutton in his stomach was aroused. "What a coincidence! I love telling the truth the most."

He took out the collected evidence from his arms.

Some are very worn, some are very new.

For fifteen years.

Jiusu and the others flipped through the documents, becoming increasingly angry. Tan Chen, however, had already memorized the evidence. He smiled and said, "Those bastards thought they'd be alright if they burned the evidence, but they didn't know I had memorized it by heart."

Bai Luoxue looked at the bloodstains and asked casually, "Aren't you afraid that someone will kill you to silence you?"

"I'm afraid." Tan Chen smiled, "But I've already made the arrangements."

They looked at Tan Chen.

He only recited a nursery rhyme that contained the evidence of these crimes.

"As soon as I die, these nursery rhymes will spread all over the world."

Sometimes, he really wanted to be killed.

This saves a lot of trouble.

Bai Luoxue clasped her fists and said, "I admire you."

Tan Chen offered them a bowl of porridge, gulped it down, and wiped the corner of his mouth with his sleeve. "It smells quite good. Could I have another bowl, please?"
