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

Bai Luoxue looked at the man next to her and frowned, "If I remember correctly, you are not the county magistrate, right?"

"You are looking for me for the same reason." Wang Daozhi's every move was full of flattery. "To be honest, I have heard of the old general's reputation for a long time. I really admire your father's bravery and valor. Of course, I have also heard that the old general has a daughter who is both talented and beautiful. When I saw her today, she is really a fairy."

Anyone will be happy to hear compliments.

Bai Luoxue's worries were swept away. She exchanged a few words with Wang Daozhi and found that this man was not a good person either.

Bribery is bound to succeed.

She took out an exquisite golden hairpin and placed it on the table. She took a sip of tea and started talking about business. "I have an old friend who is in prison. I would like to ask Lord Wang to release him."

Wang Daozhi just needs an opportunity to move up.

Moreover, this golden hairpin cannot be bought with money. It is equivalent to a token of the general's mansion. "You are so polite. If you need to release someone, you only need to say a word. Who do you want to save?"

"Jiang Jing."

"Jiang Jing?!"

His voice was filled with shock.

Bai Luoxue was puzzled. "No way? His crime wasn't that serious. Just find a scapegoat. If you can't do it, I'll go find the county magistrate."

“No, no, no.” Wang Daozhi hurriedly stood up and said, “I can do it.”

Looking at the woman's figure, his eyes were full of anger and hatred. How could a little fugitive know the Bai family? That's right, Jiang Jing was also from Shengjing, so these two people must know each other. I heard that Jiang Jing was the man that the noble lady wanted to marry, so Miss Bai is no exception, right?

Childhood sweethearts, unforgettable love.

What man can bear this?

After finding out where Chen Zhao lived, he rode a fast horse and arrived at the inn first to prevent Miss Bai from discovering him. Wang Daozhi invited the general to have a chat in the teahouse.

Chen Zhao asked: "What do you want to see me for?"

Wang Daozhi placed the golden hairpin carefully on the table with a flattering smile.

"Miss Bai just came to me, presented me with a golden hairpin, and asked me to help her save someone."

"Oh?" Chen Zhao's heart skipped a beat. He picked up the golden hairpin. It was indeed Luoxue's. Moreover, she cherished it very much. Fangfei said that it was bought for her by her mother-in-law when she was still alive. Save one? He seemed to know the answer. He pretended to be calm and said, "Who to save?"

Wang Daozhi observed his expression and said, "General, it was Jiang Jing."

Bang! A surge of anger shot straight into Chen Zhao's head from his heart. It was Jiang Jing again! Why did Jiusu like the lowly exile, and Luoxue also cared about him? How could he not compare to him? He smashed the porcelain cup in front of him with one palm, his hand was cut and bleeding, his face was cold.

"If you dare to lie to this general."

"I dare not lie to you." Wang Daozhi knelt on the ground and kowtowed. In order to lure the general into a trap, he had to reveal his trump card. "To be honest, I have a grudge against Jiang Jing. I actually want to ask you, is Jiang Jing on good terms with you? If so, then I will let him go."

Release? Chen Zhao sneered, with murderous intent flashing in his eyes.

"This general does not know any Jiang Jing. He is a fugitive with extremely bad behavior. He actually took advantage of Luo Xue's kind and soft-hearted character and wanted to live a shameful life! This general hopes that Lord Wang will deal with such a person as soon as possible and eliminate this harm to the people!"

The hands in the sleeves were shaking.

He wanted to fly back immediately to ask Luoxue why she did that and how he had done anything wrong to her!

Wang Daozhi smiled treacherously. He stood up straight and clasped his fists and said, "General, rest assured. I will never let Jiang Jing, a lowly person, bring disaster to Su Ming County."

The second floor of the inn is the best accommodation.

As soon as Bai Luoxue walked in, the door closed, and Fangfei was locked outside, unable to open the door no matter how hard she tried.

"Miss, slave..."

"roll!"

Fangfei trembled all over and her heart beat faster with fear when she heard an angry roar. General, what is going on? Listening to the quarrel inside, she could only stand at the door, close her eyes and pray silently.

Bai Luoxue propped herself up on the bed and looked at the man in disbelief, "Husband, what's wrong?"

Chen Zhao's face was cold, "Where did you go just now?"

"I, I went out to look at the fabrics. I was planning to..."

Bang! The golden hairpin was thrown on the bed. Bai Luoxue gasped. She touched her slightly aching stomach, her lips trembling. She wanted to explain, but a slap came over her. She covered her face, tears sliding down her cheeks. "Husband, I didn't mean to lie to you. My sister came to beg me to rescue Jiang Jing, so I resorted to this desperate measure."

Chen Zhao stared at her quietly, "She won't beg you."

Bai Luoxue became angry. She stood up suddenly, grabbed the man by the collar and asked sadly.

"My husband, am I not worthy of being asked for favors? Jiusu is a man of integrity, but I am not. If it weren't for you, would I have quarreled with my father? You like Jiusu in your heart, not me, right?"

"What about you? Do you like me or Jiang Jing?" Chen Zhao held her hand and shook it off angrily. His chest heaved up and down. He stared at the woman with uncontrollable anger. His heart was in a mess and he was more nervous than killing an enemy.

Bai Luoxue fell on the bed and turned back, saying aggrievedly.

"If I don't love you, why would I marry you? Of course I love you." She looked at him lovingly, "The Bai family and the Jiang family are old friends. I was criticized for not helping someone in need. My husband, please don't misunderstand me. I swear, I will never see the Jiang family again. Their life and death have nothing to do with me."

The woman had tears hanging under her eyelashes, and the way she swore was very touching and sincere.

Chen Zhao secretly breathed a sigh of relief, bent down, picked up the woman, put her on the bed, wiped away the tears from his eyes with his fingers, and replied as if he remembered something interesting.

"If you can think so, then I feel relieved. Jiang Jing is harming people. I will let Wang Daozhi deal with Jiang Jing as soon as possible. He will die tonight."

He pinched the woman's trembling shoulders, leaned close to her ear and asked doubtfully.

"Don't want to?"

"No, my stomach just hurts a little and I want to sleep." Bai Luoxue closed her eyes, turned over, and was unwilling to communicate with others. When she heard the man leave, she could no longer hold back her shoulders trembling, and she clutched the quilt tightly.

Jiang Jing...

Jiusu! Don't you like Jiang Jing? He's dying, do you care?

She kept shouting in her heart.

The sadness and helplessness turned into tears that wet the pillow.

"cough…"

Jiusu's nose felt sore and she rubbed it with her hand. Hmm, who is talking about her? She walked into the backyard of the government office and followed the yamen runners to Zhang Tu, "I greet the county magistrate."

Magistrate Zhang glanced at her.

"It's Miss Jiu, what's going on?"

"I came uninvited, but I can help you solve a big problem." Jiusu's eyes flickered slightly. She met the county magistrate's puzzled look and said with a firmer look, "As the saying goes, there is no room for two tigers in one mountain. You are in a difficult situation recently, right?"

Magistrate Zhang put down the document and looked at the woman in front of him again.

He crossed his hands on the table, "Oh? Where did Erhu come from? Miss Jiu, why don't you tell me in detail."

Jiusu smiled knowingly: "Wang Daozhi is someone close to the prefect. He is arrogant and he still goes his own way in front of so many people in the court. He shows no mercy to you. In time, I'm afraid that your status will be lower than that of the village chief."
