Become a founding empress in ancient times with the system

"He wants you to go there in person." Shen Huaizhi frowned slightly. He hadn't said a few words when he went there, but he concluded that there was someone behind him. No matter what he said later, he would not be moved.

Sheng Changan was also a little worried. Fortunately, it was still early in the morning, and Shen Huaizhi only spent half an hour going back and forth. "Then let's go and take a look."

She concluded that there was someone behind Shen Huaizhi in just a few words, and she was quite curious.

"I'm sorry." Shen Huaizhi's ears were red as he hugged Sheng Changan to his chest, pushed open the window and flew out.

Although his pace was not disordered, his breathing was slightly rapid. Realizing his abnormality, Shen Huaizhi's expression became more serious.

Sheng Changan didn't pay any attention to all this. Her attention was almost entirely on thinking about how to start the conversation next.

Although this person was able to live until now because of Master Ye, he should not be underestimated. She just hoped that this person would not disappoint her expectations.

What was unexpected was that after seeing Sheng Changan, this person looked as if he understood everything, and bowed in her direction with both hands, but did not stand up afterwards.

Sheng Changan raised his eyebrows and said, "County Lieutenant Zhao, please stand up. No need to be so polite."

The man was dressed in a plain robe, his face showing the melancholy of years of frustration, but his eyes were bright and his cheeks were a little thin. Although he was old, it was not difficult to see the charm of his youth.

Sheng Changan was ready to get straight to the point. After all, staying here for one more minute would increase the risk of her being exposed. "I wonder what County Magistrate Zhao is thinking."

County Lieutenant Zhao asked cautiously, "Is this all you intend to do, sir? Even if the people arrested by County Magistrate Yang are innocent, there are more innocent people here."

Sheng Changan's lips curled up slightly. She thought, she saw ambition. A person who can survive until now, besides being really cowardly, must have greater ambitions.

It seemed that this Zhao County Lieutenant was the latter, but this time he didn't need him for help. Sheng Changan sat down directly at the main seat, took the initiative and pointed to the seat next to him and said, "Please."

County Magistrate Zhao did not intend to hide his ambition. The reason he was able to live until now was to meet a wise leader who could appreciate him.

Regardless of whether this person is a man or a woman, he is tired of his current life and thinks that this may be how his life will be.

But he didn't expect Shen Huaizhi to come. Although he had only admired the character of the Duke's Mansion and helped a little, he couldn't do more.

What surprised him was that the descendants of Duke Shen brought him such a big surprise.

Before he surrenders, he must first show his sincerity.

"What do you think?" Sheng Changan asked with interest.

"Sir, I think since we have to do it, we might as well do a big one and bring Yang Kang down directly." He knew Yang Kang's character. He was greedy for money but afraid of death.

"Let him be a puppet county magistrate in front of others, and then the adults will send people to slowly take control of this place."

Sheng Changan said with a half-smile, "This is truly a heinous act. What is County Magistrate Zhao planning to do?" He then slowed down his voice and said, "Are you planning to rebel?"

"I just want to do something for you, sir. I will follow your instructions and be responsible for fulfilling your wishes." Zhao Lu lowered his eyebrows and spoke in a calm tone.

Sheng Changan didn't say anything, just glanced up and down at Zhao Lu. He had lowered his head slightly since he came in, to show his submission. Later, he even directly called himself a subordinate. "Do you trust me so much?"

This time Zhao Lu raised his head and said, "I have been waiting for you, sir."

As soon as these words came out, Sheng Changan's eyes darkened slightly. "Have you seen me?"

"No, but the lord should have been here last time. He even showed up at Yang Kang's house and took away a lot of people." Looking at Sheng Chang'an's expressionless face, Zhao Lu smiled.

"Sir, I have no ill intentions." He was not Yang Kang. From the sudden fires at the city gate, Yang Kang's warehouse, and near the salt mine, he concluded that someone had deliberately set the fire.

He immediately sent people to investigate the people who entered the city in those days. Finally, his attention stopped on Sheng Changan and his group. He also learned that they had sold things in order to obtain silver and money.

Finally, he transformed himself into a miracle doctor and appeared in Yang Kang's house. Although his whereabouts were unknown after a fire, he firmly believed that these people were not dead and would come again.

But he didn't expect that the county magistrate came in person and brought the Xianbei people with him. Zhao Lu had some guesses from the Xianbei's request that they find someone.

So he also searched secretly, but like the Xianbei people, he fell into a misunderstanding. He didn't expect that the magistrate of Guangping County was a woman. What he didn't expect was that she seemed to have a superb disguise.

He didn't recognize Shen Huaizhi when he came, and thought that Yang Kang finally couldn't bear it anymore and planned to take his life.

Sheng Changan's index finger moved slightly. "But how can you make me believe that you don't have bad intentions?"

"The traces that Your Excellency accidentally left last time were specially cleaned up by me." He also misled them by the way.

This makes sense. There are so many of them, and with so many people walking together, if someone looks carefully on the road, they will definitely find some trace.

She thought that she might have a falling out with Shangyu after returning, or that a fight would break out on the way, but she didn't expect that they had been silent. She thought that Shangyu's soldiers were too useless.

She didn't expect that someone helped them, which surprised her. What surprised her even more was, "Do you have someone else under your command?"

In this situation, he was able to develop his own people. This man is really amazing.

"I've been here for more than ten years and have barely found a few capable people," Zhao Lu said modestly.

Barely usable? She no longer believed what these people said. She could eliminate their traces without being discovered by Yang Kang's men.

He has been hiding here quietly for so many years, unknown to others. Perhaps the people in Shangyu County may not even know this person.

"I'm curious how you are sure I came." She knew Shen Huaizhi's mouth and it shouldn't leak.

Zhao Lu pretended to glance casually at Shen Huaizhi standing beside Sheng Changan, and silently weighed it in his mind before saying implicitly, "It doesn't suit Mr. Shen's character."

With only the grandfather and grandson left in a family, how could Shen Huaizhi be so harmless and even save those women? You should know that when he was in the capital, this Mr. Shen was not easy to get along with.

If it were him, he would just rush in and charge straight in. He might have some sympathy for those people, but based on his understanding, he would probably ignore them more often.

Sheng Changan twitched her lips. She also understood what Zhao Lu meant. This was indeed her negligence. How could a person who had experienced such a big change still be the same as before?

He was willing to rescue the trapped women because of his own desires. And he was even willing to go to Zhao Lu specifically for them. This probably only deepened his suspicions.

There was only one possibility for him to be so obedient: either his grandfather was there, or he was there. Mr. Shen was old and it was impossible for him to run around everywhere, so there was only one possibility left.

Shen Huaizhi secretly glanced at Sheng Changan, knowing that she had no other thoughts, and her face was more helpless. He didn't care anymore, he was not a good person.

Nor would he be as blindly loyal as his grandfather. How could he be loyal to an unkind and unjust emperor?

He was willing to stand on Sheng Changan's side at the beginning because he noticed her and planned to be a county magistrate honestly. In addition, because of his grandfather, he went to Guangping.

But after getting to know him, he could feel that Sheng Changan was indeed a good person. After handing over the military affairs to him, he almost did not interfere at all, and even directly expressed his trust in him.

Thinking of this, Shen Huaizhi pursed his lips, and his earlobes turned a hint of pink again.
