Fantasy: After transmigrating, I effortlessly became a god.

Wang Shiping and Wang Shi'an hurt Jiang Siting a lot, but Zhou Shi hurt her even more, so she had no reason to forgive them.

Her only hope for her family was with one person: Grandpa Wang.

Although Grandpa Wang was a useless man at home, he cared about her a lot. The only happiness she had in her childhood came from Grandpa Wang.

Jiang Siting is not a saint; she also has emotions.

The grievances and hurts she has suffered over the years could not be fully recounted in three months. What reason does she have to forgive them?

The matter is over, but I still feel uneasy.

Zheng Qian would never offer Jiang Siting a single word of advice: "Never sympathize with others' suffering, and never advise others to be kind."

While Zhou was still staring at him blankly, she saw the fat man in black standing beside her and hurriedly promised to treat Jiang Siting well in the future.

It will take time to determine what the three of them do, and Zheng Qian will not approve of them based on just a few words from them.

Actions speak louder than words.

"Old Master Wang, may I have a word with you in private?"

Zheng Qian bowed and asked Old Master Wang to come aside for a private talk.

Once they were far enough away that no one could hear them, Zheng Qian lowered his voice and asked.

"Old Master Wang, may I ask you about the major powers in Lvchang County? Who are they backing?"

Old Master Wang frowned. He was one of the top businessmen in Lvchang County and knew some secrets.

The question asked by the black-clad assassin had touched upon the political core of Lvchang County. Since he did not know the identity of the fat man in black, it was difficult for him to answer.

Saying the wrong thing can lead to your death.

After thinking for a while, Old Master Wang said.

"There are two major factions: the Jinmao Chamber of Commerce and the County Magistrate's faction. The Jinmao Chamber of Commerce has the Biqiangmen and Weihu Escort Agency, which control two-thirds of the commerce in Lvchang County. The County Magistrate's faction has Jindao Shop, Zhengle Escort Agency, and local troops. However, Weihu Escort Agency has been abolished, and Zhengle Escort Agency only has two people left."

Old mudfish, you've spouted a bunch of nonsense.

Who in Lvchang County doesn't know what he's talking about?

The chamber of commerce conducts business, and the county magistrate governs the government. If they were to work together, wouldn't they become corrupt?

As the largest weapons shop in Lvchang County, how could Jin Dao Shop, which made weapons for the government, not be owned by the county magistrate?

There's also Zheng Le Escort Agency, which used to take on many escort missions on official roads. Now, only Zheng Qian and Zhang Tiezhu have taken on a single mission. If they're acting like law-abiding citizens, they must be working for the government.

Could it be that Zheng Le Escort Agency could actually rebel?

Zheng Qian stood there. He only knew that he was from Wuyan Kingdom and that he was a government official. He didn't know that he was the county magistrate's man.

As for the fact that Biqiangmen is a member of the Jinmao Chamber of Commerce, that should be true. Biqiangmen takes over any business that the Jinmao Chamber of Commerce needs protection for.

As for the Weihu Escort Agency, Li Weihu was killed by Zheng Qian. That battle caused many people to lose everything, even a three-year-old child in Lüchang County knows about it.

The Weihu Escort Agency's buildings have all been occupied by the Jinmao Chamber of Commerce; it doesn't matter which side's power it is.

This is the rhetoric of business tycoons—it sounds eloquent, but it's all just a bunch of nonsense.

Zheng Qian saw nothing wrong with this; only a fool would confide in a stranger. He then asked the core question.

"Who is behind the Jinmao Chamber of Commerce? And who is behind the county magistrate?"

"This is not something a small businessman like me could know."

Old Master Wang shook his head, refusing to say a word no matter what.

Zheng Qian removed the veil from his face, revealing his face, and then put it back on.

"do not tell anyone."

Grandpa Wang's eyes widened in disbelief; he never expected the fat man in black to be Zheng Qian.

"I won't tell anyone."

After a long silence, Old Master Wang continued.

“Chief Escort Zheng, the waters in Lvchang County are deep. The Jinmao Chamber of Commerce is under the influence of the First Prince, and the county magistrate is a man of the Fourth Prince. Zhang Xinghai of the Jinmao Chamber of Commerce wants to take over my Wangji Teahouse. I am just a small merchant and I can’t fight him. I won’t get involved in their affairs, so I can only choose to leave Lvchang County. I didn’t expect the Jinmao Chamber of Commerce to go so far as to kill me.”

Zheng Qian understood completely.

Old Mr. Wang didn't talk much, and he was talking about his relationship with the Jinmao Chamber of Commerce, but he conveyed a lot of information.

The eldest prince and the fourth prince both wanted to vie for the throne. They were stationed in Yan City, while their subordinates fought each other in the surrounding areas.

Princes vying for the throne need not only power, but also money.

The eldest prince of Lüchang County controlled the money, so his people wanted to take over all the businesses in Lüchang County.

The county magistrate held political power and armed forces. He secretly recruited talents to develop his influence, which is why he appointed Zheng Qian as the patrol inspector. This was done in secrecy and not made public.

The people of the Jade Spear Sect became an army. The Jade Spear Sect and the Jinmao Chamber of Commerce were in cahoots, and the Jinmao Chamber of Commerce belonged to the First Prince.

The county magistrate ordered Zheng Qian to investigate those plotting a rebellion. Now that the Red Turban Rebellion has begun, Bai Shao has a large number of prescriptions. Zheng Qian asked around and found that almost all of those medicines were for external injuries.

Zheng Qian knew all too well what was going on; the waters of Lvchang County stretched as far as Yancheng and even to the imperial palace.

In this murky water, Old Master Wang was just an insignificant drop of water, unable to withstand even a single wave, and had no choice but to move.

Suddenly, Old Master Wang said mysteriously.

Do you know how a county magistrate gets appointed?

Zheng Qian certainly knew, or rather, could guess, how the county magistrate had become the magistrate, but he pretended not to know.

"I heard that the emperor was pleased because the grain harvest in Lüchang County doubled, and he was promoted."

Two years ago, the county magistrate was the grain manager, responsible for managing the planting and harvesting of grain in the whole county. Unexpectedly, an imperial edict came down and appointed him as the magistrate of Lvchang County.

Old Master Wang said with a hint of bitterness.

"No, it's because I had a wonderful daughter."

Zheng Qian knew about this matter and even personally experienced its aftermath.

The county magistrate's daughter, He Ruoyun, was sweet and lovely, with two dimples when she smiled. She was a cute, petite beauty. Two years ago, an imperial edict for a talent selection was issued, and He Ruoyun was on the list.

Zheng Qian and He Ruoyun were childhood sweethearts and deeply in love. This incident was a huge blow to Zheng Qian. He locked himself in his room, refused to talk to anyone, and spent his days in tears.

The two kept their relationship a secret very well; no one knew they were lovers. At the time, Zheng Qian dared not elope with He Ruoyun and could only watch as He Ruoyun entered the palace to live a miserable life.

Just then, Zheng Le received a big order, and the whole family went to escort the goods. Zheng Qian refused to listen to Zheng Le's arrangements and advice and refused to go with Zheng Le to escort the goods.

Unexpectedly, Zheng Le and his family disappeared without a trace.

The girlfriend lived a miserable life, while her father received a promotion and a fortune as a reward.

In contrast, Zheng Qian's family's fate was unknown, and he dared not go to his girlfriend. After a period of depression, he gathered a group of friends and began to frantically search for his family, but after two years, there was not a single trace of them.

The psychological pressure caused Zheng Qian to break down, and he began drinking and gambling until Zheng Qian was born.

The water in Lvchang County is too deep; one could easily drown in it.

Zheng Qian made up his mind. Regardless of whether Hua Feng sought revenge, he would not wait any longer. After sending Jiang Siting to Lu Ning County, the two parted ways, as a way of repaying her for sending him a message to kill Bai Shao.

After the matter is over, leave Lvchang County immediately, find a beautiful woman to travel the world with, find a secluded paradise to settle down in, and marry a few wives to live a shameless and carefree life. Wouldn't that be wonderful?

As for Wuyan State and Lvchang County, what business is it of his?
