Quick Travel: Sweet Pet Script from God

Chapter 34 The Royal Merchant Miss vs. the Young Prime Minister (13)

Li Erzhu calmed down and spoke again. Chi Qing and Yin Huai also heard a cruel fact.

More than a month ago, Taoyuan Village was hit by heavy rains for days, and it was close to mountains and forests. The heavy rains caused floods and landslides. Most of the village was flooded overnight. Many villagers died in the flood.

After the flood receded, the village chief led several young people to the county government office to seek help from the county magistrate. The village also suffered a flood thirty years ago, but it was not as severe as this one. The county magistrate quickly opened a warehouse to store grain and arranged for manpower to go to the disaster relief. At the same time, he also reported it to the governor to seek help from the imperial court.

North Korea and China reacted quickly, and the disaster was quickly subsided. In the village chief's impression, if there is a disaster, he can go to the county magistrate for help.

Unfortunately, the current county magistrate did not give the village leader the response he wanted. He just told them to go back and wait until the disaster relief funds were distributed.

A few days later, the village chief did not wait for relief.

None of the villagers could hold on any longer. Some died of starvation, and some died of injuries due to flash floods that were not treated properly.

The village chief felt that he could no longer wait like this, so he summoned a few villagers who still had strength to rush to the county government office with "weapons" - that is, some hoes, rakes, etc.

In fact, the people in the county are in dire straits, but the county magistrate is still arrogant.

His thugs who came from nowhere drove them back.

The village chief and the others had several quarrels, and the county magistrate became angry and ordered his thugs to rush into the village and beat the village chief.

Li Erzhu's leg was lame in that fight.

The villagers who came to see the situation saw that the village chief, who had always respected him, was beaten, so they picked up their weapons and fought with those people.

As a result, the few people who were still able to move were brutally beaten to death by the thugs.

Li Erzhu was hurriedly pushed into a secret cellar by a villager and escaped.

The thugs hastily piled the bodies into a large pit behind the village and left in public.

Seeing that there was no hope of relief, the remaining villagers packed up their things in despair and fled their hometown where they had lived for most of their lives.

Li Erzhu didn't want to leave home, so he picked up several lonely elderly people who also didn't want to leave, and took care of them together.

But by the end of January, all the food they could find had been eaten up, and they couldn't even find any mice.

"These are those dog officials who do all kinds of evil and forget their own good." Yin Huai's always calm face was filled with an angry look, and he gritted his teeth and said, "When they are caught, they will be cut into pieces."

After settling the villagers, Chi Qing and Yin Huai spent the night in the carriage.

The next morning, An Qi and the three of them were ordered to stay and take care of these weak villagers for a few days. After they recovered, they would find an opportunity to take them to Beijing.

An Qi and the others took orders to stay, while the others continued to head towards the Sheriff's Mansion in Wu'an County.

After two days of traveling and traveling, we finally arrived at the Sheriff's Mansion in Wu'an County.

Sheriff Zhang and his subordinate officials, who had already received the news, were waiting eagerly at the gate of the Sheriff's Mansion.

The speeding carriage stopped in front of everyone, and two young girls who looked like people in the painting stepped out of the carriage.

Upon seeing this, Commander Zhang immediately came forward and said, "I respectfully welcome Your Highness, Your Majesty the Prime Minister."

"I respectfully welcome Your Highness the Princess, Your Majesty the Prime Minister." A group of officials behind him also saluted.

"Get up." Chi Qing waved his hand with a calm expression.

"Thank you, Princess." County Sheriff Zhang could not figure out the two people in front of him, and wiped the sweat from his forehead, "Your Highness, Prime Minister, please, it's been a hard journey, let's talk about it after we enter the mansion."

The two of them didn't answer. Chi Qing raised his head, and Commander Zhang immediately understood and led the way.

On the surface, the Sheriff's Mansion is very plain. It looks like the residence of an honest official, even worse than an ordinary civilian family.

Of course, that's what it seems.

Chi Qing and Yin Huai looked at each other and saw disgust in each other's eyes.

Sheriff Zhang's body shape is really different from this environment.

How could a fat man who looked like he weighed nearly 200 pounds eat in such a poor environment?

Commander Zhang is not high, even lower than Chi Qing.

Combined with his weight, he's like a flexible ball.

Soon, Sheriff Zhang led the two of them to a simple and elegant courtyard.

With an embarrassed smile on his face, Sheriff Zhang said a little uneasily: "This is the best courtyard in the Sheriff's Mansion. There is no better place in other places in the city. I hope you two won't dislike it."

Chi Qing sneered, "Is this the way Governor Zhang treats guests? Master Yin and I are single and unmarried, so are we living in the same courtyard?"

"Of course not, of course not," Magistrate Zhang wiped the sweat from his forehead, "The Magistrate's Mansion is really too small, and this is the only courtyard that can be considered pristine. Don't worry, Princess, I have sent people to separate them in the middle of the courtyard. Absolutely We won’t disturb each other.”

Sheriff Zhang showed a bitter smile again, "There is a sudden flood, and I have no choice but to do so. Please be patient, Your Highness."

"Listening to what you said, it belongs to this princess, right?" Chi Qing raised her head and looked at him condescendingly.

"How dare you, a lowly official? How dare you, a lowly official?" County Sheriff Zhang smiled apologetically, "Your Highness, the Princess, has a rich body and a lot of wisdom."

"Look at you like this, so be it." Chi Qing let him go mercifully.

"Thank you, County Lord, for your understanding."

Seeing that the unruly and willful little princess was settled, Sheriff Zhang turned to look at Yin Huai again.

"Master Yin, can you do that?"

"I'm not picky, let's leave it at that." Yin Huai said casually to him.

"Yes, I'll take my leave first. You two will have a rest first. I'll invite you two over when it's dinner time."

"Go down, go down." Chi Qing sent him away impatiently.

"Yes, the subordinate retire."

Sheriff Zhang bowed and left.

After entering the yard and carefully checking the surroundings, Chi Qing took off his arrogant disguise and sat on a chair in the house without any image.

"How about it? My acting skills are pretty good, right?" Chi Qing raised her head proudly and asked for praise from Yin Huai.

Yin Huai put his finger to his lips, stopped laughing and said, "Why do I think Suisui is acting in his true colors?"

"Humph, since I think you are acting in your true colors, I will treat you like this from now on."

Chi Qing shook her head and threatened Yin Huai. In Yin Huai's eyes, she was like a threatening cat showing its claws and fangs.

In fact, if you look closely, you can see that the nails of the claws are not sticking out, and the fangs are just small baby teeth that bite without pain.

"Suisui is the best, you must be reluctant to do this to me, right?"

Yin Huai walked up to Chi Qing, knelt down, put his head on her lap, and looked up at her with an innocent look in his eyes.

His tone was all bewitching, "I'm right, Suisui."
