Quick Transmigration: Even Extras Want to Be Leading Actresses

The magistrate kicked a bailiff: "What's the rush? They're just here to ask for money."

He has already spent a lot of money from the Prince of Yan's mansion; as long as the Jurchens are killed, the reward money will be plentiful.

"No, sir, today this demon was riding a horse, with a gloomy face, and carrying human bones in his hand. He looked extremely terrifying."

The constable was so frightened that he was trembling all over.

As they were talking, Gu Shijiu had already walked to the stable: "Tie my horse up and feed it the best hay."

"I understand," the coachman said, looking at her without daring to lift his head.

"What brings you here today, Miss Gu?"

The county magistrate was already waiting at the gate. When he saw the bone in Gu Shijiu's hand, the muscles on his face twitched.

"Hmph, I just found out that you pocketed my horse money."

The people here are so cunning and treacherous. Thinking of the good days in China, Gu Shijiu's eyes reddened with anger, and she almost cried.

She used to have to turn off virtual gifts during her live streams, otherwise the gifts from fans would flood the live stream room.

These people are now cheating her out of money.

The magistrate was quite frightened when he saw that Gu Shijiu's eyes were red: "Heroine, let's talk this out."

"Did you steal my money?" Gu Shijiu tapped the table with a bone.

Seeing that the matter could not be resolved peacefully, the magistrate secretly thought to himself, "Perhaps I should just—"

Seeing that he didn't speak, Gu Shijiu angrily squeezed the horse bone and applied force. Crack! In a moment of carelessness, the horse bone broke in two.

The magistrate's idea of ​​murder and robbery immediately vanished.

“Miss Gu, the Prince of Yan’s mansion has only given this much money, and we don’t have any extra to give you.”

The county magistrate decided to shift the blame eastward.

"Oh? How come I didn't know that the Prince of Yan's mansion was so stingy that it wouldn't even spend money to buy horses?"

The one speaking was the second son of the Prince of Yan, who had come with Gu Shijiu.

He realized something was wrong when he heard from the villagers that Gu Shijiu's horses had all been sold to the county government.

The Prince of Yan's residence received no news at all.

Obtaining so many fine horses suitable for breeding is a great achievement. Why didn't the county magistrate report it? What was he planning to do?

The second young master hurried over to find the magistrate to settle accounts.

"I...I..." The county magistrate stammered, unable to speak.

"Guards, beat him!" At the second young master's command, the county magistrate was forced onto the torture bench and beaten.

Gu Shijiu felt inexplicably familiar with the scene, and suddenly experienced phantom pain in her buttocks.

"I remember now, you're from the Prince of Yan's household!"

It was his family who beat Yuzhu up, almost killing her, causing her to suffer excruciating pain as soon as she arrived.

"You really are Yuzhen?" The second young master said, somewhat incredulously.

Back in the manor, although Yuzhen was somewhat beautiful, she was far inferior to her younger sister Yuzhu.

He only focuses on working and rarely talks to people.

Previously, because Yuzhu angered her master, she was implicated and should have died in a mass grave.

Could it be... that the Second Young Master has some bad thoughts, or that he's been possessed by an evil spirit?

Thinking of the pile of heads around Gu Shijiu, he felt he had figured out the truth.

"Call me Gu Shijiu. What's the story behind this?" Gu Shijiu didn't think he had anything to do with Yuzhen.

The second young master came to his senses and decided to postpone discussing the matter of ghosts and gods, as the immediate priority was to rectify the county government.

Such a thing actually happened on the Prince of Yan's fiefdom. The Second Prince also has a position, so of course he can manage it.

After being tortured, the magistrate finally revealed the truth: the horses had already been sent to the imperial court.

“Your Highness, my official position was granted by the imperial court. If the court asks me for horses, I can't refuse.”

This brings us to the relationship between the Yan state and the imperial court.

Logically, the official in charge of a fiefdom should submit a petition to the imperial court after the landowner has submitted the petition, and the court should issue an edict to indicate its approval before the official can be considered to have completed the formal procedures.

Generally speaking, the imperial court would not refuse these princes' requests for official titles.

However, the Prince of Yan and the current emperor had competed for the throne in their early years, and in the end, the Prince of Yan was enfeoffed to this harsh and cold place.

The emperor was very distrustful of him, as many officials in Yan were appointed by the imperial court.

Since the Prince of Yan had already lost the throne, he did not intend to provoke the emperor and did not take action against these officials.

Unexpectedly, this county magistrate was so bold as to bypass the Prince of Yan's residence and send the horse away!

Gu Shijiu wasn't interested in these things; she just wanted to know what would happen to the money that had been embezzled.

The second young master confiscated the property of a number of county officials, barely scraped together enough silver, and handed it over to Gu Shijiu.

"Madam Gu, although we didn't get those from the Prince Ma Yan's mansion, we can't let you suffer a loss. Take this money first."

"Wait until I report back to my father, and he will grant you an official position."

Gu Shijiu had no interest in becoming an official, but after hearing that officials could go to the main battlefield, fight more Jurchens, and earn more rewards, she immediately agreed to the second young master's proposal.

Since I'm to be granted an official position, I must first return to Jicheng and meet with the Prince of Yan.

Gu Shijiu eagerly followed the Second Young Master's convoy, ready to return and receive his reward.

On the way, the second young master got a little bored: "Madam Gu, do you know how to play chess?"

Gu Shijiu could never be involved in such a technically sophisticated form of entertainment: "No."

The second young master became interested and wanted to teach her.

three days later.

Gu Shijiu stared at the chessboard, feeling drowsy: "It's too difficult, you play it yourself."

The second young master, his head spinning, had never encountered such a foolish person before: "Never mind, we'll be in Jicheng soon, let's pack up and prepare to meet the Prince of Yan."

The Prince of Yan was very interested in Gu Shijiu: "Lady Gu, how about I appoint you as a commander of a thousand households?"

They accepted Yuzhen's name change or becoming someone else very smoothly, without mentioning anything about what had happened before.

"What rank is this official?" Gu Shijiu became wary; the people here were just too good at deceiving people.

"A fifth-rank official," the Prince of Yan replied with a smile.

This level wasn't low, and Gu Shijiu readily agreed.

After leaving the Prince of Yan's council hall, she quietly asked the second young master, "Where is the heir apparent's room?"

The second young master was a little surprised that such a person was also interested in the heir, but he still gave her directions.

It was a bit far away, and Gu Shijiu couldn't find a reason to go around it, so she simply sat down under a tree to think of a solution.

"Why aren't you leaving?" the second young master asked curiously.

"I'm thinking." Gu Shijiu's train of thought was suddenly interrupted, and she was somewhat displeased.

"Tell me and I'll think of a solution for you?" The second young master didn't think her brain could come up with anything.

Gu Shijiu ignored her. She already knew that the Second Young Master and the Heir Apparent were brothers, so there was no reason for them to help outsiders.

That's not necessarily true, but she didn't understand those distinctions between legitimate and illegitimate children.

Just then, a servant came to report that the young master was walking this way.

Gu Shijiu's eyes lit up.

It turned out that the Crown Prince was suspicious when he heard that Yu Zhen had not only survived but had also made great contributions, so he came to test her.

When Gu Shijiu saw the prince appear, she got so excited that she kicked down a big tree next to her.

The tree fell right on the crown prince.

"Help...help me!" The prince could only manage to utter this one sentence before he fainted.

Half of Gu Shijiu's anger dissipated, and she left with light steps.
