Transmigrated into a corrupt female county magistrate, defied fate and changed her life in a deserte
Chapter 218 The mastermind behind the scenes
Before he could react, the virtuous king was rescued. The people from the Dark Pavilion wanted to chase after him, but Shen Fenghua held his chest to stop them, and glanced at the receding figure with slightly dimmed eyes.
The fish is hooked, and the rest is up to that person!
"Follow me back to report!"
……
At the same time, Jingyang County, far away from troubles, was peaceful because people made money from selling rice seeds.
Today, the accounts were settled and the villagers, led by the village heads, lined up in long queues and came to the county government office to collect their own dividends.
Wang Er maintained order, Cheng Ziqian and another student checked the household registration and verified the data, and Lu Ruoyu was responsible for distributing the money.
The scene was bustling with people discussing whose rice was better grown, had the highest yield, and would get the most money.
Outsiders can only watch helplessly, because their registered residence is not in Jingyang County.
Following one village after another, Song Jinshu saw Yingxin Village among the crowd.
Because of the trafficking of women and infanticide in Wujian Village, most of the men were dealt with. At a glance, Yingxin Village is mostly populated by women and children.
Among them, the most familiar one is Dahua. Unlike when she was thin when we first met, she has gained some weight back and her mental state has also improved significantly.
She was holding a child of five or six years old, looking forward to something. She seemed to feel Song Jinshu's gaze and looked over.
Seeing that it was Song Jinshu who had saved them from danger, Dahua paused slightly, then bowed gracefully with a smile on her face.
It can be seen that she is living a good life now, and Song Jinshu smiled sincerely.
At that time, there was no light in her eyes, and she was like a walking corpse. She was really afraid that she would be unable to get over it, so she asked Ran Chu to give her more guidance.
Looking back, it has been three years since she integrated into this era.
She has suffered and been tired in these three years, but she has never regretted it.
If she could live in peace and security in this corner forever, benefiting the local people, until the end of her life, she would feel that every day would be fulfilling and happy.
……
On the other side, Song Zhiyuan and Lu Chuan finally returned to Jingyang County after a long journey.
Seeing the scene of Jingyang County again, both of them felt sad. Lu Chuan was busy going home to see his wife and children, while Song Zhiyuan was anxious to go home and report that he was safe.
The two agreed to meet again another day, and then went back to their homes after entering the city.
Liu Jiangyue came back from the shop with the newly developed perfume powder, and was about to give it to the Song sisters for trial, when she was suddenly stopped by someone.
"Yue'er? Is she my daughter?"
Liu Zhiyuan was homesick and hesitated when he arrived home. When he saw his daughter coming back, tears fell from his eyes.
"Dad? Why are you back?" Liu Jiangyue widened his eyes.
Isn’t her father out there being bait?
However, the next moment, she was held in Liu Zhiyuan's arms, and her shoulders were wet.
Liu Jiangyue had no choice but to comfort his back, and waited until he calmed down before asking him what had happened.
After hearing this, the two of them sighed at the same time. Liu Jiangyue felt very sorry for her father for having suffered so much.
"Fortunately, everything is over. Dad, let's go home! Grandpa and grandma are waiting for you!"
"But..." Liu Zhiyuan's eyes dodged, not knowing how to face his old father and mother.
Liu Jiangyue's lips curved slightly as she consoled him, "Everyone in our family knows what you've been up to. Grandma is so worried. If you don't come home, she'll get sick again."
Now Liu Zhiyuan was in no mood to think about anything else. With tears in his eyes, he went into the Liu Mansion to visit his sick old mother.
Soon, the sound of a grown man wailing was heard again in Liu Mansion.
Song Jinshu, who was handling affairs in the county government office, also heard the news that Lu Chuan and Liu Zhiyuan had returned, and looked at Lu Ruoyu with shining eyes.
"Was Ruoyu your man who sent my uncle and Lu Chuan back?"
Lu Ruoyu smiled lightly and nodded: "Yes! The person behind this has surfaced. It is not appropriate for Master Liu and the others to stay there."
Hearing this, Song Jinshu asked curiously, "So who exactly wants to harm the Liu family?"
Now that the virtuous king has been exposed, there is no need to hide anything. Lu Ruoyu briefly explained what happened.
After hearing this, Song Jinshu suddenly felt a chill on his back.
"When I heard you mention the virtuous king before, I thought he was an unlearned and pleasure-seeking prince. Now I think that was all his disguise."
"Yes! Thank you for this." Lu Ruoyu pursed her lips and smiled.
Song Jinshu blinked in confusion. What does this have to do with her?
"As I've said before, the Liang County Magistrate and the Zhao County Magistrate of Beizhou have a personal grudge. On the surface, they're fighting each other to the death, but secretly they're colluding with each other."
"The disagreement between the two is just a show. In fact, they both have a master."
"I know! It's the wise king!" Song Jinshu raised his hand to answer.
"Well... you can say that, but there is someone else behind her." Lu Ruoyu paused for a few seconds, unable to bear to dampen her enthusiasm.
After hearing this, Song Jinshu really couldn't guess. She was sure that she didn't have the brains to go to Kyoto to get involved in officialdom, otherwise she would be sold out without knowing it.
Lu Ruoyu took a token, which seemed familiar, but she looked at it again...
"Hey, I'm the lackey of the eldest princess who came to destroy my business a few years ago!"
She would never forget the first time she was threatened or intimidated, and the stinking face of that lackey still appeared in her mind.
Lu Ruoyu praised: "Jinshu still remembers?"
"Even if he turned to ash, I couldn't forget him. It's a pity that he didn't show up again, otherwise I would have asked my Zhang Yi to teach him a lesson."
Song Jinshu gritted his teeth, his eyes darkened, and Lu Ruoyu smiled helplessly: "Then you may not have that chance."
"Ah? What happened? He's dead?"
"Yeah! Dead!"
Dead? With such a calm tone, are you sure he is really dead?
Perhaps seeing her confusion, Lu Ruoyu repeated, "He's really dead. He was beaten to death by the eldest princess."
Coincidentally, after that incident, he privately asked someone to teach the man a lesson, but found out that the princess had beaten him to death on the spot.
At that time, he only thought that the eldest princess was cruel and tyrannical, but now he thinks that there are clues to everything.
Song Jinshu fell silent. Although she had killed people, they were all extremely evil and treacherous.
The guard was merely disrespectful to her in his words, but his crime was not serious enough.
Even if she had the ability to fight back, it would be better to kill the person. Thinking of this, she suddenly realized something and looked at Lu Ruoyu in surprise.
"Could it be that the real master behind these two people is this eldest princess?"
Lu Ruoyu looked at her quietly, which was considered as her agreement.
Song Jinshu's hands and feet felt weak for a moment, and she held on to the coffee table. She remembered the year when the eldest princess's only daughter was kidnapped by human traffickers.
The eldest princess is so cruel, she has never been so tough before... It's so dangerous!
Looking at Song Jinshu like this, Lu Ruoyu felt uncomfortable.
If he hadn't been helpless, he wouldn't have wanted to tell her so much, but... he was leaving.
Her life or death is unknown, so telling her this will make her cautious.
"Ruoyu, tell me, is the eldest princess still imprisoned in the Princess Mansion in Kyoto?"
She had a bad feeling. Since the eldest princess was the mastermind behind all this, how could she be so obedient and allow herself to be manipulated and bullied?
