How could he forget this!

Isn’t the county magistrate of Jingyang County that greedy and lustful idiot Song Jinshu?

People like her definitely don't have such a kind heart to think about the people.

Given her greedy nature, it is impossible for her to pay the laborers' wages out of her own pocket. There must be something she is hiding.

What she did must be another way for her to make money.

The imperial treasury is currently in a tight spot. In order to prevent officials from colluding with each other to make money, the emperor encourages officials to report each other's behavior of making money.

If he helps Lord Wang capture Song Jinshu and plunder the people's wealth, Lord Wang will be favored by him once he gains the Holy Eye.

There is no need to worry about the future!

After figuring this out, Shi Zhubu stopped playing with the bird, threw it to the servant who followed him, and strode towards the Guangrao County Government Office.

Inside the Jingyang County Government Office.

Song Jinshu had no idea that she had been targeted. She was tinkering around in an open space in the backyard.

This was originally the land where the former county magistrate planted flowers. Now half of it has been cultivated into a vegetable field by her sisters, and the other half is still empty.

Song Jinshu plans to build a grape rack here and then try to grow a small amount of grapes and watermelons.

Although it is a little late now, it does not mean that the fruit cannot be grown. At most, the fruit will be smaller.

The little girl Song Yunrong didn't know what her elder sister was doing, so she followed Song Jinshu closely and imitated her movements.

Song Jinshu laughed helplessly. This little boy was quite cute.

"When the fruits are grown, I'll give them to you first!"

Listening to Song Jinshu coaxing the child, Song Yunrong sighed softly, "Big sister, I'm not a three-year-old child anymore. I know how hard it is for you to support the family alone. Now that I've grown up, I can help you like my sisters!"

She is young but very sensible. Her aunt often tells her to please her elder sister because when they get married, her elder sister will be their support!

But she somewhat disagreed with what her aunt said. She wanted to be nice to her eldest sister, not because she would be their support in the future, but because she really felt sorry for her eldest sister and all the sisters.

When Song Jinshu listened to her heartwarming words, he felt as if a warm current was flowing through his heart, and he felt sour and sweet in his heart.

She could no longer tell whether she was kind to the Song sisters out of responsibility or the affection she had developed from spending time with them day and night.

In short, she didn't hate this feeling, and even wanted them to live a better life.

Life is not easy for women. What she can do is to stand high enough so that she can support them in the future.

Song Jinshu rubbed Song Yunrong's little head, played with her for a while, and then went out for a walk.

In a house somewhere in Dafang County.

Liu Jingmo glared at the servant kneeling in front of him with gritted teeth, his eyes burning with rage, as if he wanted to burn the person in front of him to ashes.

"Ding Yi, I didn't expect it to be you! Why on earth did you betray me?"

Liu Jingmo really doesn't work. Ding Yi has been with him since he was a child, and they have a deep relationship. He treats him well.

He didn't even know that he had a wolf by his side.

"I really can't understand, am I not good to you? When you were young, you were sold by your family. I felt sorry for you, so I begged your mother to let you come to me.

Over the years, what you wear and what you eat on a daily basis are almost the same as mine. Why on earth did you give false evidence to frame me for selling illegal salt?

Do you know that if this charge is proven, my Liu family will be confiscated!"

Ding Yi shuddered, raised his eyes to look at Liu Jingmo, suddenly smiled bitterly, and said indifferently: "You are a young master, and I am just a slave who can be beaten and scolded by everyone. How dare I be compared with you, young master?"

Seeing Ding Yi's indifferent look, Liu Jingmo's eyes turned red with anger.

This guy not only betrayed his master, but was also ungrateful.

He was blind and misjudged people before!

If he hadn't kept a trick up his sleeve this time, Ding Yi might have succeeded.

Liu Jingmo knew that Ding Yi was definitely not the person behind the scenes, he was just a pawn of others.

But this kid was very stubborn. He couldn't open his mouth even after being tortured for several days. Instead, his hands were numb from being tortured.

Looking at Ding Yi's unyielding appearance, I wonder if he will be so calm and composed later?

"Hmph! Very good! Because you've served me so well, I wanted to leave you a decent death. Since you don't want it, I don't want to waste my time here with you!"

Ding Yi curled his lips in disdain. When he decided to do this, he had already prepared for death and had arranged his affairs after his death.

If you don't accept my toast, you'll have to drink the penalty. Just don't cry and beg him later!

Liu Jingmo clapped his hands, and someone dragged the whole family in from outside.

"Master Liu, please spare us! We don't know anything! We really don't know! Wuuuuu... Third brother, please speak well of something to Master Liu. We don't want to die..."

Ding's mother burst into tears and rushed towards Ding Yi as soon as she saw him, but was stopped by someone halfway.

Ding Yi was stunned the moment he saw the person. He swallowed nervously and tried to stay calm, but the change in his eyes betrayed him.

Liu Jingmo raised the corner of his mouth and said softly, "What do you think? You are tough, but your poor parents and young children can't stand it."

He originally disdained to use women and children to achieve his goals, but this matter could not be delayed for long, and he had to hurry back to apologize.

Seeing that Ding Yi was as still as a mountain, Liu Jingmo whipped out a whip and hit his family members.

"Ah! It hurts so much! Wuuwuwu... I've killed someone... Young Master Liu, please spare me! Third Brother! Third Brother, what on earth are you hiding from Young Master Liu? If you don't tell me, your father and I will die of pain!"

The whole room was filled with the cries of Ding's mother and the sound of the child crying loudly in fear.

Ding Yi's forehead was covered in sweat, and he felt a little reluctant. Seeing that he was beginning to waver, Liu Jingmo wavered his whip at the Ding family again.

This blow made the man vomit blood, which shows how strong he is!

"Young Master!"

Ding Yi collapsed to the ground in fright, looking at the fierce Liu Jingmo in disbelief.

He didn't expect that Liu Jingmo, who had always been soft-hearted, would be so cruel.

"Don't look at me like that. If I hadn't held back before, my Liu family would have been in a much worse situation than them! Ding Yi, if you don't tell the truth, you'll have to watch them die before your eyes today!"

As he spoke, Liu Jingmo threw the whip in his hand to the follower next to him, signaling him to continue whipping.

Ding Yi acted quickly and grabbed the other end of the whip. His already scarred arm was further injured, which was shocking.

"Sir! I'm saying this, I only beg you to spare the lives of my family!"

Ding Yi knelt down in front of Liu Jingmo and cried bitterly, "The reason why I did this was because I was instructed by someone. That person was from Shun'an Prefecture... Ugh..."

Suddenly Ding spit out blood and vomited blood all over the floor.
