The big guy travels through the book and becomes the female supporting role, torturing the scumbag a

At this time, County Magistrate Wang was indeed worried about Xu's daughter.

It's okay for Mrs. Xu. Although she is a little weak after giving birth, she won't die easily as long as she takes good care of herself.

Her daughter was different. The girl was extremely thin. Even though she was taken care of by a doctor and a wet nurse, she looked like she would die at any time.

County Magistrate Wang did not dare to leave her to Xu to raise, for fear that Xu would suddenly have evil intentions and deliberately kill the child.

How will he explain to His Majesty and the Imperial Concubine then?

Even if he was willing to return the child to the Xu family, those plague gods would probably not agree.

The life and death of this child is related to the reputation of the Imperial Concubine, so naturally he must live well!

But with her condition, how could she be easily supported?

Whenever he thought of the child's frail appearance, County Magistrate Wang couldn't help but think: It would be great if Xu could succeed in the substitution.

Although he had never seen the girl from the Xie family, he sent someone to check the injuries on the child.

According to the dispatched personnel, there were indeed fingerprints on the child's feet, clearly showing the force of a large force. Unless someone was vicious, how could anyone be so cruel as to harm a child like that?

What's more, the child is said to be quite good-looking.

Although they were twins and Madam Tu was poisoned by Xu, causing the children to be born prematurely, the children looked quite strong and were obviously well taken care of in the womb.

If Xu succeeded in switching the baby, he wouldn't have to worry about not being able to raise the child.

County Magistrate Wang was sighing in his study when his housekeeper suddenly came to report that Xie Xiu wanted to see him.

When he thought about what he had just been thinking, he suddenly felt guilty.

Although he was just thinking about it, Xie Xiu's sudden arrival made him feel a little ashamed.

But why did Xie Xiu suddenly come to find him?

Could it be that he wanted to find out how the government dealt with Xu?

County Magistrate Wang was curious and after hesitating for a while, he asked someone to invite Xie Xiu in and met him in the flower hall.

But Xie Xiu was carrying a long box. As soon as he saw him, he stood up and saluted with a very polite attitude.

County Magistrate Wang had long heard of his talent, so he was very polite to him. Not only did he return the greeting with a smile, he also immediately invited Xie Xiu to sit down.

"Sit down and talk. There's no need to be so polite."

Seeing him take a seat, Xie Xiu picked up the brocade box beside him and said gratefully, "I am grateful to the County Master for his insight into the matter of Xu's poisoning and substitution. I have nothing to offer, so I could only paint a landscape painting myself. I hope the County Master can offer some comments."

Upon hearing this, County Magistrate Wang raised his eyebrows in surprise.

When he saw Xie Xiu bringing the brocade box, he felt a little worried about the plague gods living in the county government office.

I was thinking that Xie Xiu probably couldn't give me any expensive gifts, so there was no need to give him any evidence for such a small thing, so I had to refuse it.

Who would have thought that what Xie Xiu gave was actually a landscape painting he had personally drawn!

County Magistrate Wang immediately cursed Xie Xiu for being a cunning fool!

This person said he came to thank him, but he only gave him one of his own paintings. How stingy!

Even if the Xie family is not a wealthy family, the Tu family is just a small landlord in the countryside. Xie Xiu can't be so stingy, right?

Although he secretly criticized him, County Magistrate Wang smiled and praised him: "I have heard for a long time that there is a Mr. Xie in Tujia Village who is very talented in writing.

I never thought you could actually paint. Open it quickly and let me see it. I want to see how good your landscape painting is."

Xie Xiu quickly opened the brocade box, took out the scroll inside and unfolded it carefully.

County Magistrate Wang took one look at it and his face changed. He quickly called the servant to help him unfold the scroll bit by bit.

The painting is a horizontal banner, about two feet high and six feet wide after being framed.

When fully unfolded, the painting is shrouded in clouds and mist, and the smoke is vast, which makes people feel mysterious and profound, as if it is the legendary Kunlun fairyland.

County Magistrate Wang was so shocked that he could not help but move closer to carefully observe the brushstrokes in the painting.

After observing it for quite a while, he reluctantly turned his gaze away and looked at Xie Xiu with some suspicion: "Is this painting...really made by you?"

Xie Xiu quickly bowed and said, "To be honest, Your Excellency, this painting was indeed created by me."

At the end, he gave a wry smile and said, "Students don't have the courage like Xu to impersonate someone else."

County Magistrate Wang actually felt a little regretful after asking that question.

One can tell at a glance that this painting is the product of a very advanced artist, and the person who can paint such a landscape painting is definitely not an ordinary person.

Unless the other party is dead, how could Xie Xiu dare to impersonate him?

But he had just seen that the painting, both in its mounting and on the paper, was extremely new, and it was obviously completed not long ago. If it was really painted by someone else, even if that person was dead, it would be found out as long as someone was willing to investigate.

Xie Xiu doesn't seem like a fool, and he has always been known for his talent. He will definitely not do such a stupid thing.

It seems that this landscape painting was indeed painted by him.

But I didn't expect that this person not only has great literary talent, but also has such excellent painting skills.

It is said that the current emperor likes Taoism, so I think he would be very fond of such a landscape painting.

If he presented this landscape painting to the emperor and he was pleased, perhaps his official position would be promoted.

Xie Xiu is indeed a talented man, this gift really touched his heart!

How could he be stingy? He clearly put a lot of thought into this!

This painting was drawn by him personally, which not only shows his sincerity but also makes no mistakes.

Even the most picky censor could not say that Xie Xiu was bribing him by using a landscape painting he had painted himself as a thank you gift!

The more County Magistrate Wang thought about it, the more satisfied he became. He looked at the landscape painting carefully again and couldn't find any fault with it. So he looked at Xie Xiu with even more satisfaction.

He was so happy that he invited Xie Xiu to have dinner at the county government office.

Naturally, this matter reached the ears of those people.

They stayed in the county government office because Xu had just given birth to a baby girl prematurely. Both she and the child needed time to recuperate, otherwise they would easily lose their lives.

They had no choice but to stay and sent someone to deliver a letter to the capital, waiting for the higher-ups to decide how to deal with Xu and the baby girl.

Now, when they heard that the victim of the baby-switch incident had actually come in person to ask to see County Magistrate Wang and had brought a brocade box with him, they naturally couldn't help but take notice.

The man brought a brocade box, obviously to give a gift.

If they could catch something wrong with County Magistrate Wang, it would be a pleasant surprise.

So the team leader immediately sent someone to find out what kind of gift the man had sent.

Unexpectedly, when this person arrived, he found that Xie Xiu looked familiar. When he heard Xie Xiu's name, he felt even more familiar.

After he found out that what Xie Xiu had given him was a landscape painting he had drawn himself, he could not wait to return to the leader and report his discovery in a low voice.

The leader's face changed after hearing this, and he asked in surprise, "You said his name is Xie Xiu? He looks very familiar?"

The man quickly said, "Yes, I feel that he looks familiar, but it doesn't seem like I've seen him before. It's really a bit strange."

The leader tapped the table lightly with his fingers, and finally said with a complicated expression, "Nothing strange. You must have seen his portrait before."

The man was shocked when he heard this: "Portrait? Could he be a fugitive too?"

The leader shook his head and then laughed meaningfully, "You know, the current Hanlin scholar, Lord Xie Yun, once had a handsome eldest son, but unfortunately he disappeared for many years, and there has been no trace of him, either alive or dead."

The subordinate's eyes widened in surprise, and he looked at the leader in disbelief: "You mean..."

The leader continued to laugh and said, "That missing Mr. Xie also happens to be called Xie Xiu. Isn't that a coincidence?"
