Rebirth: I Raise a Husband in Another World

When the Qinghe County Magistrate heard An Yi's words, the heavy stone in his heart was completely put down.

I thought: This gentleman's attitude is exactly the same as His Royal Highness the Crown Prince's. It seems that His Royal Highness the Crown Prince did not blame me for the ambush he encountered this time.

His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is indeed a wise man. I am willing to follow His Royal Highness the Crown Prince until death!

The magistrate of Qinghe County was a cautious and people-loving person. Even if a trace of greed occasionally arose, because of this character, he never dared to embezzle official funds.

Because he loved the people, he treated the people in his jurisdiction very well.

In some places, when collecting taxes, the tax collectors would force the people to pay more taxes in order to embezzle some of the tax revenue. This situation is not uncommon. After all, clear water will attract fish.

But in Qinghe County, because the Qinghe County Magistrate set an example and the officers and soldiers sent to collect taxes were mostly upright people, there was almost no case of officers and soldiers collecting more taxes privately. The Qinghe County Magistrate was undoubtedly a good official.

No one can guess the thoughts of those in power. There have been many officials who have been the target of anger in history. Huangfu Zuo was indeed ambushed and killed in the area under the jurisdiction of the Qinghe County Magistrate.

If Huangfu Zuo wanted to punish the Qinghe County Magistrate after returning to the imperial city, the Qinghe County Magistrate would have no choice but to accept the blame.

But now, everyone around Huangfu Zuo said that the fault was not with the Qinghe County Magistrate, and they also said a lot of words to comfort the Qinghe County Magistrate.

Those words meant that even if Huangfu Zuo returned to the imperial city, he would not be held accountable. The Qinghe County Magistrate was surprised and happy to hear this.

Only then did he secretly vow to follow Huangfu Zuo until death, even though he could not help Huangfu Zuo in any way with his current official position.

The Qinghe County Magistrate was very happy to be able to do something for Huangfu Zuo, as he had just promised An Yi.

He turned around and ordered the people around him to take a group of people to the place mentioned by An Yi, intending to move the bodies of An Shijiu and others back overnight.

Lord Ren summoned the chief steward and instructed him: "Take a team of people to a large mountain in the southwest of the suburbs.

We found three corpses dressed similarly to the people around His Highness. They all had thick eyebrows and big eyes, and square faces. Remember, don't make the wrong one."

The chief steward memorized the characteristics of An Shijiu and the others and assured the Qinghe County Magistrate, "I have memorized them. Your Excellency, please rest assured that I will live up to your trust."

The Qinghe County Magistrate naturally knew the ability of the butler, otherwise he would not have handed this matter over to the butler.

Hearing this, the Qinghe County Magistrate nodded in satisfaction, "Well, I trust you, otherwise I would not have entrusted this matter to you."

Hearing this, the butler was so excited that he couldn't express his joy in words. He happily took people to find the corpse.

After the matter was explained clearly and accommodation was arranged for Huangfu Zuo and his party, the Qinghe County Magistrate, thinking that no one had been offended, sat down on the chair in the study and breathed a sigh of relief.

Recalling Huangfu Zuo's appearance, the Qinghe County Magistrate sighed that he truly possessed the majesty of the royal family. His natural aura of a noble family made people want to submit to him.

This was the first time that the Qinghe County Magistrate had met the prince. When he had previously participated in the palace examination and the rankings were announced in the hall, he did not even dare to raise his head.

Therefore, even if Huangfu Zuo was in the court at that time, he did not see it.

The Qinghe County Magistrate didn't know whether the choice he made today was right, but he knew he did not regret it.

The Qinghe County Magistrate suddenly laughed at himself and thought: My official position is so low that His Royal Highness the Crown Prince will not be able to use me except for these two days.

Because this was the first thing Huangfu Zuo assigned to the Qinghe County Magistrate, and it might also be the last thing, the Qinghe County Magistrate wanted to do it to perfection.

He stayed in the study to deal with official documents, waiting for the butler and others to come back.

Fortunately, the place where Huangfu Zuo was ambushed was not far from Qinghe County. The steward and his men rode at full speed and arrived at the place in no time.

With An Yi's detailed description, the butler and his men quickly found the bodies of An Shijiu and the others and brought them back.

After returning to Lord Ren's residence, the first thing the butler did was to report to Lord Ren.

The chief steward came to the study to report to the Qinghe County Magistrate, "Sir, the bodies of those people have been brought back. Where should they be placed?"

In fact, the Qinghe County Magistrate didn't know where to place the bodies of An Shijiu and others.

Logically speaking, An Shijiu and the others all hold higher official positions than him, and His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is their only master, so their stay or departure should be decided by His Royal Highness the Crown Prince.

But at this moment, the time was a little wrong. It was neither early nor late, but it was completely dark.

For the villagers, it was naturally late and time to go to bed.

But Lord Ren's family is not a family that cannot afford to buy candles or is reluctant to light candles, so for the people in the Qinghe County Magistrate's Mansion, it is still early to go to bed.

However, that person was the prince after all, and the Qinghe County Magistrate was not clear about the prince's daily routine and did not dare to disturb him rashly.

The Qinghe County Magistrate paced back and forth in the study, not knowing what to do, considering the identities of An Shijiu and the others, and An Yi's caution in giving orders.

The Qinghe County Magistrate decided to go to Huangfu Zuo's residence to take a look. If the candles were still lit, he would knock on the door and ask. If the room was dark, he would make his own arrangements.

The Qinghe County Magistrate thought this was the best solution he could think of at the moment, so he acted immediately.

After making up his mind, the magistrate of Qinghe County took the butler to Huangfu Zuo's residence. Seeing that the light was still on in the room, the magistrate of Qinghe County was delighted.

He immediately went up and knocked on the door. Huangfu Zuo was naturally still awake. He lived in the same room with An Yi, An Si, and An Liu, and An Yi and the others were by his side to protect him.

The situation was urgent during the day and Huangfu Zuo did not have much time to think about the person behind the scenes. Now that he is safe, he wants to seriously think about who is behind the scenes.

After much thought, Huangfu Zuo still believed that this incident was related to Huangfu Xuan and Huangfu Yi. Of course, it might also be related to the anti-imperial party.

He is virtuous, not stupid. If others plot against him, he can't just stand there stupidly without resisting.

As he was thinking, suddenly, Lin Han's figure appeared in Huangfu Zuo's mind.

Thinking of Lin Han, Huangfu Zuo couldn't help but sigh and thought: I was rescued, but I don't even know the name of my savior. I am such a failure.

If my benefactor is willing to serve me, I will surely help him. Unfortunately, nothing can be forced. I can only hope that my benefactor will not be recruited by other princes.

Just then, there was a knock on the door. It turned out that it was the Qinghe County Magistrate who mustered up the courage to knock on the door.

An Yi heard the sound and looked at Huangfu Zuo. Huangfu Zuo gave An Yi a look, indicating that he should open the door. Then An Yi went to open the door.

An Yi opened the door and saw that the person who came was the Qinghe County Magistrate. He asked, "What brings you here so late at night, Lord Ren?"

The Qinghe County Magistrate truthfully replied, "Sir, the bodies of the three gentlemen have been recovered. I would like to ask where they should be placed."

An Yi: "I see. Sorry to bother you, Master Ren, to make the trip. Please accompany me to cremate their bodies."
