The best county magistrate

It was past midnight, the autumn breeze was bringing coolness, and there were faint lights on in the small building in front of the temple.

The thick curtains swayed slightly, and the light in the room was no longer visible.

The woman with delicate facial features and natural charm returned to the couch from the window. Her white jade green fingers held the light stick and dimmed the oil lamp on the table.

The door opened a crack at some point, and then closed quietly.

"Thirteen, is there any news?" the woman asked in a low voice, her tone indifferent.

"Reporting to the original poster, there is no news yet."

The woman on the couch smiled slightly, with a moving color on her charming face.

However, the woman who was called Thirteen was as weak as chaff, and she felt that the temperature in the room seemed to be a few degrees lower.

"Have you gotten used to being comfortable and forgotten who you are?" The woman's tone was cold, as if she came from Jiuyou.

"A bunch of trash!"

Thirteen knelt down on one knee and said, "Master, our spies found some other information."

"A bandit leader named Shen Qingyun has been in Qingshui County for more than half a year. He seems to be laundering his identity."

"Oh? Is that the one who is said to be the most beautiful person in the world, and the most unparalleled son in the world?"

Thirteen nodded and continued: "He is the owner of today's Langsha, Yijiangnan, etc. in the county, and he is also inextricably related to Youfeng Tower."

"Today he was drinking wine with Qingshui County Magistrate Yang Xuanchen and two of the magistrate's subordinates in Youfeng Tower."

The woman on the couch raised her upper body and ignored the gauze slipping from her shoulders. "You don't want to be a good bandit, so you have to go to the county to do the flesh business?"

"strangeness!"

"What is the relationship between Shen Qingyun and that Sesame Officer named Yang?"

"Go back to the original poster, we haven't found out yet." Thirteen glanced at the woman and asked, "Will these two people conflict with us?"

The woman sighed and looked a little tired, "Originally, I thought Fu Yue would go directly to Linjiang City when she returned to her hometown to visit relatives."

"I didn't expect that she would hide everything and make us fool around."

"Not only did we lose a lot of troops this time, but it also made this woman wary."

Speaking of this, she rubbed her swollen forehead, "There is an unusual atmosphere everywhere in Qingshui County."

"I'm sure Fu Yue will do it again when she returns to Beijing!"

"At that time, it will be a great opportunity for me to avenge my master!"

She glanced at Thirteen who was kneeling aside and spoke again: "I will not allow the plan to fail again."

"Let our people keep an eye on Shen Qingyun and Yang Xuanchen, if necessary..."

Thirteen's eyes flashed, "I understand!"

When the woman was the only one left in the room, she walked to the window and opened a curtain, sliding one finger back and forth against the glass of the window.

"This glass is really a good thing, but I don't know if you are a good person."

The woman smiled, and the two pear dimples at the corners of her mouth combined with her charming fox eyes created a sweet and sultry picture.

At this time, Zhou Miaomiao's motorcade was stopped at Shili Bridge outside Linjiang City.

A dozen soldiers gathered in front of the carriage, and the strong man at the head shouted loudly: "Who is coming?"

The two teams communicated for a long time. Zhou Miaomiao, who was in a hurry to return to Qingshui County, was blocked on his way back. He was in a bad mood and almost drew his sword.

In the end, it was Ada who came over to stop the farce, "Miss Zhou, your Majesty has invited me."

Zhou Miaomiao glared at the group of people, and followed Ada to a luxurious carriage.

"The civilian daughter Zhou Miaomiao pays homage to the empress. May the empress be safe."

Lan'er removed the soft sword from her waist and welcomed her into the carriage.

"Miss Zhou, we meet again."

"It seems that you, like me, are both impatient and want to go back early when things are done."

Concubine Shu's tone was very gentle, like a ball of cotton, which instantly relieved Zhou Miaomiao, who was still angry just now.

"I have been waiting for you here for a long time..."

Under the dim light in the car, Zhou Miaomiao glanced at Concubine Shu and asked doubtfully, "Why did the empress say that?"

Concubine Shu patted her little hand and said with a smile: "I'll wait for you to return to Qingshui County together. You are the boss's wife."

"I am counting on you to help negotiate the price!"

"What price? What price?"

Zhou Miaomiao couldn't figure it out. The dignified concubine still had to consider the price when buying things?

Could it be that she fell in love with the wine in Shenxianju?

"If your Majesty wants to drink, Miaomiao can make the decision. It is appropriate to send several jars of fine wine to your Majesty."

Concubine Shu waved her hands and sighed, "Not only wine, but all industries in Qingshui County, I am interested in it!"

"When that boy Xuan Chen first became the county magistrate, he made salt for Your Majesty, which relieved the emptiness of the treasury."

"But you also know that the national treasury is the national treasury and not the royal family's private treasury."

"I'm planning to create a private treasury. I'll test the water first in a year or two. If the effect is good..."

Speaking of this, Zhou Miaomiao finally understood Concubine Shu's intention of waiting for her.

She wants to cooperate with Yang Xuanchen!

"Empress, you have to discuss such a big matter with Xuan Chen, I can't make the decision."

Zhou Miaomiao is very good at martial arts, but not good at business. She is smart, but she knows how much she weighs, so there is no way she can agree on behalf of Yang Xuanchen.

Concubine Shu took her hand, placed it on her leg, and patted it gently.

"I didn't let you make the decision. When the time comes, just help me say a few good words in front of that boy."

"You also saw my two nieces tonight. If I hadn't stopped them, they would have gone to Qingshui County to embrace me in a few days."

Zhou Miaomiao secretly spat, those two little sluts, the older one was pretty and the younger one was ready to bloom, that pervert could never resist them.

Fu Tingyu made a lot of nonsense during the dinner, saying that men can fight in all directions, but why can't women chase their husbands thousands of miles away?

If Concubine Shu in front of her hadn't said a few words, not to mention Fu Tingxue, Fu Tingyu alone would definitely have become his biggest stumbling block.

Thinking of this, Zhou Miaomiao nodded, "Don't worry, Madam, as long as I'm here, Xuan Chen won't dare to speak loudly."

With her assurance, Concubine Shu was in a good mood, and the two chatted in the carriage for a long time.

After the ugly hour, neither of them was seen to be sleepy.

Suddenly, Ada's voice came from outside the carriage, "Reporting to the Queen, two spies were captured in the dense forest on both sides of the official road."

"Ask who sent him, and then kill him."

Concubine Shu's indifferent tone startled Zhou Miaomiao, and she glanced at her involuntarily.

She is worthy of being the imperial concubine of the Immediate Emperor, killing so decisively.

"Haha, as soon as I got hairpins, I started to travel around the world."

"Relying on my good martial arts skills, I offended many people back then, and also had some enemies..."

"I finally got out of the palace this year, but I didn't expect that my enemies would come looking for me."

The understatement tells the story of those years and explains the current situation.

"The empress is surrounded by elite soldiers and there are so many of them. Aren't these enemies seeking death?" Zhou Miaomiao agreed.

Concubine Shu shook her head, "A few days ago, I deliberately separated from the large army and went to Qingshui County."

"I didn't expect that there would be a large number of Jianghu people ambushed on the official road from the capital to Linjiang City."

"There are no less than thirty masters in the heavenly realm!"

"What?! So many?" Zhou Miaomiao couldn't help but exclaimed.

What kind of forces did Concubine Shu, also known as Fu Yue, offend back then? She actually sent so many masters to seek revenge.

"Miss Zhou has been practicing martial arts since she was a child, right?"

"It seems that he knows a lot about Jianghu affairs."

Concubine Shu's beautiful eyes flashed with a different look, as if she was very confident in her guess.

"I really can't hide it from your Majesty. Miaomiao has been practicing martial arts for thirteen years, and it was only in the early spring of this year that she reached the heavenly realm."

"I didn't expect that Miss Zhou is not only good at wine-making, but also has such a high talent in martial arts."

"It would be great if my daughter could be like Miss Zhou..."

Concubine Shu sighed as she spoke.

Then she paused and continued: "The people below said that the person who wants to kill me this time is from Mengzhou."

"And one of the survivors said that their other mission was about a sword."

Zhou Miaomiao was shocked. Could it be that the news about Wu Feng was leaked?

The Concubine Shu in front of her was obviously a scheming woman, and her strength was unknown. She must not let her see any flaws in her.

"Your Majesty, why don't Miaomiao stay with you these days?"

"Firstly, it is to protect the safety of the empress, and secondly, I can tell you about the industries in Qingshui County."

Concubine Shu smiled slightly and nodded in agreement.
