I'm going to become rich after being dressed as a five-year-old woman

"A peasant woman greets you, sir." The county magistrate was a little surprised when he saw the peasant woman in front of him. She was wearing a lot of patched clothes, and her hair was a little messy, perhaps because she had no time to take care of it, but her eyes were firm, without the slightest fear or retreat.

"You are quite knowledgeable. I will write about you when I compile this into a book." The county magistrate nodded, praising the peasant woman's performance. He turned to the clerk beside him and ordered, "Go to the village and count the number of households and the number of people affected by the disaster, and record the disaster truthfully and report it."

The clerks took the order and left. The county magistrate looked at the villagers who were gathered around him, and a wave of anger rose in his heart. These bold thieves dared to burn the entire village. If Zhao Qiqi had not escaped with his men and tried his best to prevent the fire from spreading to the mountain, there would have been greater losses.

He could not escape the blame for such a big incident. The county magistrate, who was visiting other towns, rushed over immediately after receiving the news. If he had been any later, even his official hat would have fallen off.

The county magistrate was filled with anger and helplessness. This matter was a great test for him and the villagers. If it could not be handled properly, his future would be greatly affected. But he also knew that the most important thing now was to understand the disaster as soon as possible, appease the villagers, and resume production.

"Sir, these thieves are so despicable. They not only burned down our house, but also stole our food and property. What should we do?" said a villager.

"Don't worry, I will catch these thieves as soon as possible and give you an explanation. At the same time, I will apply for relief from the court to help you all overcome the difficulties." said the county magistrate.

"Thank you, sir. We believe that you will make the decision for us," said the villagers.

The county magistrate nodded and said, "Everyone go back first. The statistics work will take some time. Please don't gather around to avoid affecting the progress of the work."

After hearing the county magistrate's words, the villagers dispersed.

The clerk brought Li Yuzhu out to report to the county magistrate: "Sir, this is the wife of Zhang the slippery man."

Although it is still unknown whether the arsonist was Zhang Huatou, it was because he brought that group of people here that this tragedy occurred.

Li Yuzhu's face was a little pale, her lips were trembling slightly, and her eyes revealed a trace of panic. Her hands also trembled unconsciously, as if she was worried about something. Zhao Qiqi looked at her silently, her eyes full of concern and worry. She sighed softly, and then said silently: "Don't be afraid."

Li Yuzhu saw Zhao Qiqi's lip language, her body trembled slightly, then she took a deep breath, trying to calm herself down. She nodded, then looked at Zhao Qiqi, her eyes full of gratitude and trust.

Zhao Qiqi looked at her encouragingly, then turned to look at the county magistrate: "Sir, that day Li Yuzhu discovered something was wrong and informed us, so we took all the women and children to the mountain to protect them from the thieves. She herself was tied up by Zhang Huatou and not allowed to pass on the information. Zhang Huatou is guilty, but it has absolutely nothing to do with Li Yuzhu."

If those women fell into the hands of thieves who had been wandering around for days, the consequences can be imagined.

The county magistrate smiled and said softly, "Don't be so nervous, it's just a routine question. If it has nothing to do with her, she will naturally not be implicated." Zhao Qiqi and Li Yuzhu both felt a little relieved.

The clerk took Li Yuzhu aside and asked him about some matters.

"What do those thieves look like, what are their features, how tall are they? The more detailed your description is, the easier it will be to find them."

Li Yuzhu took a deep breath and began to describe the appearance of the thieves. Her voice was trembling, but she tried to make her description clearer and more accurate. She described the thieves' clothing, appearance, height, and body shape, and mentioned that one of them was called Liu Qi.

The clerk listened to her description and took notes. He became more and more satisfied because he found that the characteristics of these thieves were very obvious and easy to identify. Once they were found, they could be brought to justice.

However, Li Yuzhu's description also mentioned a problem, that is, the group of people were originally refugees and could not enter the city. In addition, they had stolen a lot of food and it was unknown where in the mountains they would hide. This greatly increased the difficulty of the search.

But we have to look for it, and we have to search it faster. With their current behavior, they will definitely rob again after they finish eating. We have to reduce the chances of this disaster happening again.

The county magistrate sighed, knowing that this was a very difficult problem. If the thieves could not be found in time, they might continue to do evil and endanger more people.

The interrogation took a long time to finish. Li Yuzhu had made some progress. His calves were not shaking and he walked back steadily.

She felt a little scared until she entered the house. After all, he was an official. She had never seen one before. People are afraid of officials.

"You don't know, I was so nervous at first, but I didn't do anything wrong, so I thought, 'If you are upright, you have nothing to fear,' so I had to be tough."

The two of them played and joked around for a while, and Li Yuzhu's mood became better and better.

"Yuzhu, I plan to start a chili pepper business. If you are willing, I can provide you with chili pepper seedlings."

Chili peppers! She had certainly heard about it. In the past, all the gossip in the village could not escape her ears. She also knew about Zhao Qiqi selling chili peppers at a high price.

Li Yuzhu never thought that Zhao Qiqi would be willing to take her to do this at this time. Ever since the incident with Zhang Huatou, she had been struggling alone in her heart, with no one to help her, and then Zhao Qiqi asked her two sons to come and help her.

Now, Zhao Qiqi is also willing to provide her with pepper seedlings.

This is heaven-shaking wealth!

Li Yuzhu was so excited that she was speechless and just nodded. She looked at Zhao Qiqi, tears of gratitude and joy flashing in her eyes. She was secretly glad that she did not miss this opportunity and that she still had a good friend like Zhao Qiqi.

They should be considered good friends, which made her happier than the fact that Zhao Qiqi gave her the pepper seedlings.

Zhao Qiqi looked at Li Yuzhu's excitement and couldn't help but feel moved.

"Let me make it clear first, you can only sell this pepper to me," said Zhao Qiqi.

Li Yuzhu nodded quickly. She was so grateful that she didn't know what to say.

"I charge fifteen cents per pound." Zhao Qiqi continued.

Li Yuzhu nodded again, and she had no objection. She knew that Zhao Qiqi was helping her. If it weren't for Zhao Qiqi, she might not even be able to grow peppers, let alone sell them.

"We also have to ensure that the pepper seedlings don't flow away." Zhao Qiqi said.

Li Yuzhu nodded again. She now completely believed in Zhao Qiqi. She felt that Zhao Qiqi was a trustworthy person. She decided to repay Zhao Qiqi in the future and become a conscientious person like her.

Zhao Qiqi looked at Li Yuzhu who kept nodding and was a little touched by her cuteness, just like a New Year picture doll. She couldn't help laughing, Li Yuzhu was also an interesting person.
