"Who are you?" Gao Shuhou's voice trembled a little.

At this time, two rows of officers and soldiers ran in in unison and stood side by side on both sides.

A man in official attire slowly walked out from behind. He was over forty years old, but he looked very dignified.

"I didn't expect that Mr. Gao would still be willing to label someone a spy?"

Gao Shuhou turned around and fell to the ground in shock, muttering, "Liu, Governor Liu..."

Liu Yicha was ordered to patrol outside, and he had clearly gone somewhere else, so why did he suddenly turn back?

This time he really got into trouble.

Zhu Huifei's mind went blank as he watched the officers and soldiers arrest one group of people after another. Finally, two officers and soldiers pinned him to the ground.

The picture of the beautiful woman with a folding fan in his hand fell to the ground and was stepped on to pieces, but the corners of his mouth curled up.

"Miss Xia, thank you."

Looking at the smile on his lips, Xia Qingqing was sure that Zhu Huifei's behavior might be fake.

Maybe he has been waiting for an opportunity.

However, Huo Yihan was really fast and got a governor in just two days.

Suddenly, Xia Qingqing's smile stopped.

She was deceived by the old thief Huo Yihan. The thing about not being able to leave the city was just a bluff!

A cunning man!

After leaving the mansion, Xia Qingqing hired a carriage. Once inside, she asked Su Xi to put the man who was about to wake up inside.

"Qingqing, he's not well yet."

"He's not that squeamish!" Xia Qingqing rolled her eyes at the man and turned to say, "If we're any later, our secret will be discovered!"

"By the way, you didn't tell this guy about us, did you?"

Su Xi shook his head and said, "No."

"By the way, what's his name? Where is he from? Is he getting married?" Xia Qingqing asked a series of questions. Seeing Su Xi's dazed look, she knew that she didn't ask anything.

"You know his name, right?! My ancestors!"

"Liuyun."

Finally, after discussing with Su Xi, Xia Qingqing left Liuyun in the alley. They left only after seeing Da Zhuang's mother screaming and reporting to the police.

"Will it be okay to leave him in the alley?" Su Xi asked.

"Don't worry, the leadership has been changed now, and someone will definitely save him."

The case was tried for three consecutive days. On the last night, Huo Yihan came back exhausted. The purple bruises under his eyes showed that he had not slept well in the past few days.

Now she is finding it increasingly difficult to see through Huo Yihan's identity.

"What's going on?" Xia Qingqing asked anxiously.

Huo Yihan smiled and said, "This Gao Shuhou is involved in too many things. I'm afraid she will have to be escorted back to the capital."

"so serious?"

"However, your worries have been resolved." Huo Yihan drank a cup of tea and said, "Cheng Dazhuang and his group were indeed deliberately arrested by Gao Shuhou. Their goal was to monopolize the entire market. In addition to seafood, they also bought timber, porcelain, and other goods. They really have a big appetite!"

"Also, Zhu Huifei will be released tomorrow. He has no real problems. He's just a puppet. The charges against him are just rumors spread by others and have nothing to do with him."

"Then he..."

"I guess he's not feeling well either. After checking, it turns out that the deaths of his sister and the three children were indeed caused by Gao Shuhou."

"He started the fire, and he also arranged for the doors and windows to be nailed shut."

"Beast!" Xia Qingqing was just suspicious at first, but she didn't expect this guy to actually do something worse than a beast.

"The three children were just an accident. He thought the nanny at home took the children out to play, but he didn't expect that the children would be burned to death as well."

"do not talk……"

Xia Qingqing felt powerless all over. He had killed several living people just for his own selfish desires.

Noticing the change in Xia Qingqing's expression, Huo Yihan asked, "Are you okay?"

Seeing that her mood had not yet risen, Huo Yihan stood up, took her hand, and said, "I'll take you out for something delicious."

Before she could react, Xia Qingqing had already arrived downstairs of the inn. The bustling streets seemed somewhat out of place to Xia Qingqing at the moment, her attention was all on the hand she was holding.

"Selling hairpins, beautiful hairpins!"

Suddenly, Huo Yihan stopped, glanced around the stall, and finally pointed at the white jade hairpin and said, "This one."

The vendor took it out with a smile on his face and said, "This gentleman has a very good taste. The young lady will look good wearing this hairpin of mine."

……

"Slow down, come again!"

Listening to the hawkers' calls, Xia Qingqing touched the hairpin on her head, the corners of her mouth curled up unconsciously, and her steps became lighter.

The two of them visited the night market, ate snacks, watched fireworks, and even participated in a competitive eating contest...

The beginning of reunion is also the beginning of separation.

When they reached the end of the street, Huo Yihan handed Xia Qingqing a small box and said, "I'm leaving now. Here are the banknotes I collected. Keep them for emergencies."

"Yeah." Xia Qingqing, who was originally quite happy, suddenly stopped smiling.

Maybe it was too sudden. Just when Xia Qingqing wanted to understand Huo Yihan, he left.

Finally, watching her leave, Xia Qingqing didn't ask, "When will you be back?" Instead, she said, "Thank you for the silver... and the hairpin."

The next day, Xia Qingqing went to the market with her seafood as usual, and she saw Cheng Dazhuang. Dazhuang's mother saw Xia Qingqing from behind and shouted, "Miss Xia, Miss Xia! Come on! Our family's savior!"

"Oh my god! Mr. Xia, this is our market's great benefactor! I heard that Mr. Xia personally found the evidence of Mr. Gao's treason. He's so amazing..."

"Ah? Really fake?"

"Of course it's true. I also heard that Mr. Gao is suspected of murdering his wife and children. He has been interrogated for several days and it is absolutely true. My cellmate said so..."

"So, if you say so, then Boss Xia is the benefactor of the people of Liangzhou City..."

……

Xia Qingqing's face flushed red as they talked louder and louder. Then Choudan ran over and shouted, "Stop arguing, or you'll drive the pretty sister away!"

Everyone burst into laughter. Cheng Dazhuang quickly walked up to Xia Qingqing, bowed solemnly, and said, "Thank you, Mr. Xia. You not only saved me, but also saved my mother. I will work like a slave for you..."

"No, no, no," Xia Qingqing said quickly, waving her hands. "This is all thanks to Governor Liu. It was just a coincidence..."

"Xia Qingqing!" Just when everyone was having a great time, Zhu Huifei's voice rang out. Everyone was startled and quickly turned around to look over.
