Dressed as the villain's stepmother

"The little one led the way here. The guards in this mansion are not as tight during the day as they are at night, but there are fewer places to hide in broad daylight."

Foreman Li saw the two people's calm expressions, smiled and turned around to leave.

Yang Fei had already noticed his movements and restrained him as soon as he stretched out his hand.

"Why are you in such a hurry? Since it's difficult to go in during the day, we'll wait until night. As for you, you have to go back to the Governor's Mansion with us now, so as not to leak the news and ruin our plan."

Yang Fei looked at Foreman Li with a smile, and spoke calmly, as if he wanted him to be a guest, but in fact he had some murderous intentions hidden inside.

Foreman Li was involved a lot in this matter, and there was always no reason to let the tiger go back to the mountain and escape safely.

County Office.

Jiang Lianzhu waited outside for a while, and finally waited until someone called her in.

Jiang Lianzhu followed the guards into a room and looked up to see the county magistrate, Huang Xi, sitting behind the desk.

The black hair on the top of his head has been dyed white. There are some wrinkles on his face, but his voice is loud: "Miss Jiang."

"Magistrate Huang."

Jiang Lianzhu followed the movements of his hand and sat on a chair in front of the case.

"I came to the county magistrate's office because I have something I want to report to the official."

Jiang Lianzhu said the purpose straight to the point.

The people in this county came to the county magistrate's office for all kinds of strange reasons. She thought they all came to report to the magistrate, but while listening to the conversation of several people, she realized that it was different from what she thought.

There are people who do all sorts of things, but there are very few people like her.

"Report to the official? Miss Jiang, you might as well talk about it carefully. If you explain clearly what it is, I can make the decision for you."

The expression on Huang Xi's face has not changed, he is still extremely patient.

He motioned Jiang Lianzhu to tell the story from beginning to end. He listened and picked up a brush to write down something on the paper.

Jiang Lianzhu omitted all the details and only told the most important part.

The look in Huang Xi's eyes changed slightly: "Does Miss Jiang know the identity of that person? If you don't even know the identity, then this matter will be a bit difficult to handle."

"The county magistrate asked people to go to the academy and ask questions. It turned out that I didn't intend to argue with this woman, but my generous heart was not understood by people. Otherwise, how could there be anything later? People who were chased all the way.”

Jiang Lianzhu specifically did not tell her directly, but asked Huang Xi's parents to investigate.

There was weirdness everywhere in the county magistrate's house. The more she was in a place like this, the more she had to be careful about her words and actions, otherwise she wouldn't know when she would die.

"Yes, I will send someone there."

Huang Xi nodded and gave a few instructions to the guards beside him, asking Jiang Lianzhu to follow the maid waiting outside the door to the side room to wait.

Jiang Lianzhu followed the maid and looked at the simple courtyard around her. She was somewhat glad that she did not reveal Mrs. Huang's identity.

In this way, not only can he be assured that nothing will happen to him for the time being, but he can also get some words out of the maid's mouth.

"Girl, is there such a scene of people coming and going in the county magistrate's office on weekdays? Why is it different from what I remember?"

Jiang Lianzhu pretended to be ignorant and spoke in a casual manner, as if she was just saying what came to mind.

"This has always been the case. The county magistrate is especially considerate of the people, so he has done a good job in these aspects."

The maid smiled before answering, obviously very satisfied with this place.

"Does the county magistrate have wives and concubines? After all, the mansion is only so big, and the backyard is not a place where people can go in. Isn't the county magistrate's move so abrupt?"

Jiang Lianzhu then added that she was completely curious, looking left and right as if she had never seen such a scene before.

"This is not something that a subordinate like me can take care of. I advise the girl to put away her curiosity. It is not good to know too much about some things."

The maid's expression changed slightly, and even her tone of voice became a little more serious.

She took Jiang Lianzhu to a side room, then turned and left, without giving her a chance to ask more questions.

Jiang Lianzhu was even more suspicious. She sat on the stool and waited for nearly half an hour before the guard called her from outside.

She followed the guards back, and Master Lu was also called.

"Ginger girl."

Lu Fuzi said politely before turning to face the county magistrate.

"The one who bullies others in the academy is the county magistrate's aunt, and she has a son, Huang Hui."

Lu Fuzi spoke firmly every word, and he didn't show the slightest hint of concealment in front of the county magistrate.

He had already inquired about this matter a little bit on the road, and he was a little surprised when he found out.

I never expected that Mrs. Huang could reach this point and actually have murderous intentions towards people.

"she?"

Huang Xi opened his mouth, and the brush in his hand fell directly on the case. He stood up in a panic and bent down towards Jiang Lianzhu.

"It's because I was not strict in disciplining the inner house. I have nothing to do with Miss Jiang's distress. I will definitely be stricter in disciplining her in the future to prevent such things from happening again!"

"It doesn't matter, I'm not a petty person, but this matter has affected too many people. I wonder if I can ask her to come forward and apologize to me. If possible, I will treat this matter as a joke. "

Jiang Lianzhu responded lightly.

She couldn't bear any big gift from the man in front of her, not to mention she didn't see any sincere emotions in his eyes.

Huang Xi did a good job on the surface, and at least the people praised him, but in her heart she felt that this was a bit vain.

The words the maid answered before were also intriguing. Everything was definitely not as simple as it seemed to her.

Huang Xi glanced at the guard beside him and asked him to get closer: "Where is she now?"

"My aunt has not come back since she left this morning, and I don't know where she went."

When the guard answered, he deliberately opened his voice so that everyone could hear the words.

After Huang Xi heard this, he turned around and put on an apologetic expression: "Miss Jiang, I'm afraid this matter won't be so easy to accomplish. Otherwise, I'll delay it for a while and wait for someone to reply. I'll ask her to come and apologize in person."

Huang Xi said and asked the guard to bring some silver.

"This money is my apology to the girl. I hope she won't worry too much about this matter."

"Of course not."

Jiang Lianzhu took all the money, as if she had completely let go of the matter, and never asked a question again.

"Then I'll wait for the county magistrate."
