Magistrate Cao didn't say anything more, he just said: "I know, you can go down."

To show his sincerity, Li Xiucai imitated those loyal ministers who risked their lives to remonstrate. He knelt on the ground and kowtowed several times, shouting hoarsely:

"Sir, you'd better give me the money, and I'll help you return it to her. Otherwise, this matter will spread further and further, and if it reaches the ears of the emperor..."

"Bold!" Magistrate Cao shouted angrily. Li Xiucai's legs were so frightened that he collapsed on the ground and stared at him blankly.

Magistrate Cao County now wants to cut him into pieces. Originally, this matter was not that serious, even if it was a reward of money from the emperor, now it is his territory in Cao County, thousands of miles away from the capital.

As long as he closed the door, no matter how he spread the matter, it would not reach the emperor's ears.

However, when Li Xiucai made such a fuss, the matter was out of his control.

No one can guarantee whether these people in his house will tell this matter.

There are still some business people coming and going in Caoxian County, and it is inevitable that some of them will go to the capital. The emperor should not care about these things, but it is hard to say about those ministers.

If he is unlucky, and some honest and upright officials get wind of it, he can easily take off his title as a ninth-grade official.

In fact, these are not problems. What he is afraid of is that person.

You must not let that person know that he has caused trouble, otherwise, he will really be careful about his own life.

Thinking of this, Magistrate Cao said with a gloomy face: "I will personally deliver it."

He wanted to see if Zhao Zhizhi was just showing off, or if he had other agendas.

Li Chong had been standing guard in the lobby and saw Magistrate Cao getting on the carriage and heading towards Xiaohe Village.

He was relieved and a little worried at the same time, but at this point, he couldn't do anything to help. He could only pray that nothing unexpected would happen to Zhao Zhizhi.

After Wei Shao came back, Zhao Zhizhi told him his plan.

Wei Shao calculated the time, curled his lips and said, "He should be on his way here."

Zhao Zhizhi looked at him slightly uneasily, "This is considered a dangerous move. If Magistrate Cao intends to destroy the body and eliminate traces, just run away and leave me alone."

Wei Shao turned around in surprise. After reacting, he nodded her forehead in confusion, "What are you thinking about in your little head all day long? He doesn't have the guts to do anything to you."

"Even if it comes to a desperate situation, I will never abandon you."

Wei Shao just said this to reassure Zhao Zhizhi. In fact, he kept Wei County Magistrate's life until now just to find evidence that some people colluded with officials.

Otherwise, Magistrate Wei would have died long ago.

Wei Shao heard the movement of the carriage. He patted Zhao Zhizhi's hand, gave her a reassuring look, and then disappeared from the rafters.

Zhao Zhizhi waited until he was protecting herself secretly, then took a deep breath and walked out of the room to meet Magistrate Cao.

As soon as Magistrate Cao got off the carriage, he ordered people to move down the two large boxes.

Zhao Zhizhi frowned, and the next moment he pretended to be confused and said, "Why did you come to Xiaohe Village, sir? Do you have anything to arrange?"

Magistrate Cao doesn't care much about her beauty now. Anyone who gets in his way, even if they are immortals, will be executed without hesitation.

Magistrate Cao tried with a smile on his face and said, "I just discovered that the two hundred taels of silver you earned was a reward from the emperor. It's a good thing I found out, otherwise we would both suffer."

Zhao Zhizhi immediately opened his mouth in surprise and said in disbelief: "Who gave the silver to us? Could it be that the silver rewarded by the emperor cannot be used, so can't we just watch the two hundred taels of silver?"

Magistrate Cao carefully observed Zhao Zhizhi's reaction and found nothing unusual on her face, only letting down his guard a little.

He smiled and shook his head, took out the two hundred taels of silver notes from his sleeve and handed it to Zhao Zhizhi, "What the emperor rewards you can only be used by you, or you can give it to other common people, it doesn't matter, but if I take it away Yes, the consequences will be serious."

Zhao Zhizhi became anxious after hearing this, "What should I do? I only have these two hundred taels, and I have no more money to give you."

Seeing that her appearance did not seem to be fake, County Magistrate Cao felt relieved and admired the beauty's flustered look, which was a unique feeling.

"It is a great honor for me that you can be appreciated by the emperor. It also sets a good example for the people of Cao County. I will pay you two hundred taels of silver for free. I can pay for it for you." Magistrate Cao pretends to be generous, which is disgusting no matter how you look at it.

At least that's what Zhao Zhizhi thought.

She forced herself to keep the smile on her face, exhaled secretly, and said excitedly: "Really, thank you so much, sir."

County Magistrate Cao waved his hand, took a step forward, and got closer to Zhao Zhizhi, with naked greed in his eyes, "I can help you without conditions. Since your medical skills can be appreciated by the emperor, you can't be buried in this small village. It’s better to come to the county government and be my official’s personal doctor.”

Zhao Zhizhi almost couldn't help but spit on his face. It would be a waste of his medical skills to treat him.

In order to prevent herself from being exposed, Zhao Zhizhi quickly lowered his head to hide the disdain on his face. He took the opportunity to lower his voice and expressed a pitiful feeling, "My lord, you don't know. It is sheer luck that the civilian girl was able to cure the princess. It’s not the folk women’s medical skills that are outstanding.”

Magistrate Cao had forcibly married so many concubines, and he had heard these words before.

At that moment, he waved his hand impatiently and said: "No need to say more about the rest. I just want to give you a suggestion. You should think about it carefully first."

After saying that, he really didn't give Zhao Zhizhi a chance to refuse, turned around and got into the carriage, and went back and forth from where he was.

After he left, Zhao Zhizhi was finally able to vent the anger he had held back for a long time.

"Bah, you dog official, with a wolf's heart and a dog's lungs, you are worse than an animal. You still want me to be your personal medical servant. Go ahead and dream about your spring and autumn dreams. If this happens to me, I will try my best to study colorless and odorless poisons every day. The poison won’t kill you old thing.”

When Wei Shao heard these words when he came out, he froze on the spot, holding his forehead and sighing in confusion.

His Zhi Zhi is really a multi-faceted girl.

Zhao Zhizhi had scolded enough, and his chest was still rising and falling with anger.

Wei Shao then stepped forward, patted her back gently and comforted her: "Don't be angry. If you are so angry, you are making the dog proud."

Zhao Zhizhi calmed down a little when she saw him, and started to worry again, "I didn't promise him today. He will still bring up the old things again in the future. I have to find a way to deal with him."

Wei Shao said: "Don't be afraid, I am still behind you."
