A peasant girl with a special ability uses herself and two wolves to escape famine!

The prefect pondered for a long time, gritted his teeth, and decided to search. He stood up, bowed to the prefect's wife, and said, "I'm sorry to disturb you like this, Madam. But the matter is urgent and we really can't wait."

"To be honest, the immortal has come to the Qing residence and only given us two days to prepare the gold and silver. As you, Madam, are by the master's side, you must know that we have no choice but to comply; there is no room for negotiation. We apologize for any offense caused and hope for your understanding."

"A celestial being has arrived?"

"Yes." He killed the person in your family.

The prefect's wife pondered for a long time. She had heard about the immortal many times, and it was precisely because he hadn't shown himself for so long that the magistrate was so impatient. The magistrate was truly unlucky; the immortal had just died when he arrived. It was all a matter of timing, fate, and luck.

That's it.

"Don't touch the mourning hall yet. Search the other areas carefully first."

"Madam, righteousness."

The prefect's wife smiled bitterly. Her husband was probably being punished by heaven. She had always felt that sacrificing one's child to heaven was wrong—it meant the lives of a thousand children! She herself was a mother; if someone wanted to sacrifice her children to heaven, she would fight them to the death. Her husband's actions were truly heartless.

Looking at the magistrate before him, he could say that this man was indeed upright. He had heard that the magistrate was trying to blackmail him into complicity with his grandchildren, but he had refused.

As a result, the child was arrested, and he was stripped of his official robes...

The prefect personally searched with them. There was definitely no way to find it in the open; they were now looking for a secret passage.

He examined the area carefully, discovering a secret passage under the prefect's dining table containing a cache of gold, silver, and grain. He also found another secret passage behind the artificial hill in the back garden. Of course, he also uncovered the secret passage in the study, but it was empty. He guessed the officials had moved it to a different location.

Besides the mourning hall, every other corner of the house was thoroughly searched by the prefect several times. His meticulousness impressed even the constables who were specifically tasked with confiscating property.

Without him, they would have been courting death and still wouldn't have found these secret passages today.

The prefect ordered all the belongings to be moved to his residence, as he was uneasy leaving them at the yamen. "Madam, I apologize for disturbing you. I may have to come again after the funeral."

"Please take care, sir." The prefect's wife was quite dazed. When were these things moved in? When was the secret passage in the house built? Why did she know nothing about any of this?

She didn't understand, she really didn't understand, why the adults had to keep everything from her? If he and she only talked once, she could also keep some for the family.

Having received the goods, the prefect rushed home to see his grandson.

Xia Ning was on the street when she saw several yamen runners with several children behind them, going from house to house to send them home, patiently explaining to the people that the sacrificial ceremony to heaven had been canceled, causing a sensation throughout the city.

Every street, every household, was talking about this. Some breathed a sigh of relief, some wept with joy at seeing their children return home, some were disappointed, some were uneasy, and some even refused to accept their children back.

"Are these people out of their minds? They don't even want their own children?" Jiang Yi found it unbelievable, and his worldview was shattered.

"We've seen all kinds of people, haven't we?"

Fortunately, his daughter Xiao Ning isn't that selfish and cold-hearted.

When the magistrate returned home and saw his grandson and granddaughter, he couldn't help but hug them, his eyes red with tears, "It's good that you're back, it's good that you're home!"

This will never happen again.

After completing the transaction in Qing Prefecture, they left overnight and went to another prefecture.

She kept changing and adding new items to her little shop, bringing out many new varieties along the way.

Hangcheng.

"Cough cough cough..."

The prefect lay weakly on his bed, barely managing to utter the three words, "Summon the doctor," before continuing to cough. He felt his condition was worsening day by day. Was it just his imagination?

"Yes."

The concubine dared not say that not only did her wife change his medicine, but she also changed the medicine that was to be decocted once to be given three times.

Meanwhile, in the capital, a letter of denunciation written by the prefect was also placed on the emperor's desk.

The emperor's face was dark and gloomy. I heard he was so sick that he was bedridden and couldn't get out of bed, yet he still wouldn't stop.

The Marquis has supplies and a steady stream of food, but he doesn't know where they will come from.

Ha, how could a lowly commoner like him know?

Is the Marquis a monster?

Hahaha……

How could a mere marquis obtain so much grain? It's all because he was favored by the immortals.

If others don't know the source of the food, how could he not know?

The governor is really restless.

Its heart is awkward!
