Reborn as a bride, pretending to be virtuous, the prince held his waist and regretted

Qinghe quickly knelt down in front of Zhou Jin and said, "Sir, Qinghe sincerely surrenders. Please give me a way to live."

Zhou Jin nodded, "Since I have agreed, I will not change my mind, so you can rest assured."

Qinghe looked at Wang Shiwen with doubt, "Just now, Lord Wang was filled with righteous indignation and wanted to kill me. Now he is very excited and looks at me as if he is looking at a piece of fat meat. Sir, you can't hand me over to Lord Wang!"

Zhou Jin smiled and said, "Don't worry. Why would I hand you over to my brother? Your skills will be of great use in the future. I guarantee you will have the opportunity to make contributions."

"As for Lord Wang, although he is angry, it is nothing compared to his meritorious service. Qinghe, don't think too much. You should know that I have arrested you, and there is no need to waste words with you here."

"Since no one has captured you, your elder brother, and Madam Chen, we are willing to give you a chance to live. You fought and killed each other before because you had no other choice."

"Now there are obviously better options, and I hope you can cherish them. This is your last chance, don't miss it. Okay, go back and bring Dachun back. From now on, you don't have to work with Dachun's appearance."

Qinghe heaved a sigh of relief after hearing this, "Yes, sir. I'll go right away."

After Qinghe left, Wang Shiwen was stunned. "Brother Zhou, you just let him go like this? Aren't you afraid that he will run away? Send someone to follow him!"

Zhou Jin shook his head and smiled, "No need! Just wait patiently, Dachun will be back soon."

Wang Shiwen was skeptical and said, "Boss Zhou, if this Qinghe runs away, I will be in danger in the future."

Hearing this, Zhou Jin smiled and said, "Brother Wang, don't worry. As I said before, if Qinghe wanted to make a move, you would have died eight hundred times. Since he didn't make a move before, he won't do it now."

"What's more, now is a chance to make meritorious contributions and a good opportunity to start a new life with integrity. They are more eager than us. If you don't believe me, let's wait and see."

Xie Jin laughed, "I trust my brother-in-law this time. I'll bet ten taels of silver on him to win."

Yuan Zhen smiled and said, "I will also bet ten taels of silver on Brother Zhou to win."

Wang Shiwen didn't think twice, as he was good at eating, drinking, whoring and gambling.

Now in Qingshui County, under Zhou Jin's watchful eyes, Wang Shiwen dared not go gambling, and was even more afraid that he would be cheated by others.

What's more, most of the silver is now in Pei Jiuniang's hands. The silver he usually has is only enough for living a life of luxury, so where would he get money for gambling?

"Then it's settled. I'm not sincere in my bet that Qinghe won't come back. Be generous and I'll bet a hundred taels of silver. Do you want to follow?"

Zhou Jin nodded, "You are the banker, and I will follow."

"It's a deal!" Yuan Zhen smiled, "Brother Wang, just prepare the money."

Wang Shiwen disagreed, "If I win, I can still get three hundred taels of silver. If I lose, it's even better. As long as Dachun can come back, Brother Zhou can still have a powerful general."

It is said that Qinghe left the Zhou family and headed straight for the courtyard in the west of the city.

Qingcheng was packing his luggage at this time, preparing to take Chen Niang to Yunzhou and settle down there.

When he saw Qinghe coming back, he was shocked, "Qinghe, why did you come here in broad daylight? Did something happen?"

Madam Chen was also shocked, "Qinghe, you...did you betray us?"

Seeing that his elder brother and sister-in-law were suspicious and panicked, Qinghe quickly explained, "Brother, sister-in-law, you don't have to be suspicious. In fact, I have found a way out for everyone..."

"Ah?" Madam Chen was shocked. "What if this is a trick of the dog official?"

Qingcheng was also quite worried, "So we can't leave now? Qinghe, you are too reckless."

Qinghe didn't know whether to laugh or cry. "Brother, I have been caught on the spot. You are surrounded here. The reason why they didn't arrest us directly is because the county magistrate wanted to give us a chance to surrender."

"This is the promise made by the county magistrate himself. He was impressed by my disguise skills and knew that we have some extraordinary people, so he wanted to recruit us. But Wang Shiwen was furious and wanted to kill us."

"But we don't have to worry. Wang Shiwen's ability is limited, and he dare not disobey the county magistrate's order. Brother, sister-in-law, instead of hiding from place to place, we should surrender."

"Look at those bandits who surrendered. Although they are not free yet, the way the county magistrate dealt with the snowstorm shows that he has won the hearts of the people. The county magistrate wants to govern Qingshui County, not to kill people in Qingshui County."

"We have been doing business and gathering information in Qingshui County over the years, and we have not harmed any innocent people. After all, we were harmed by bandits in the beginning, so compared with those bandits who smashed, looted and robbed people all day long in the mountain strongholds, our crimes are not serious."

"Whether it's hard labor or something else, it won't endanger your life. Brother, we are brothers, I won't hurt you. If you lead your men out now, even if you can fight your way out, there's no turning back."

"It's fine for our lifetime, but have you ever thought about the baby in your sister-in-law's belly? Will she have to hide with us in the future? Anyone with a discerning eye can see that Qingshui County will have an easier life in the future. If we miss this opportunity, we will have no chance in the future."

"Not only that, with the current governance level of the county magistrate, the schools will be expanded next year and the number of schools will be increased. Not only will the children in the city learn to read and write, but even the children in the countryside will have the opportunity to study."

Just when Qingcheng was hesitating, Madam Chen gritted her teeth and made a prompt decision.

"Qingcheng, Qinghe is right. We should stop hiding. After we surrender, it may be hard at first, but we can live an upright life in the future. We can even visit our parents' graves with dignity instead of hiding our heads and showing our tails."

"When our children grow up, they will not be bandits who eat raw meat and drink blood, but will be neatly dressed, sit in the school with dignity, and read with other children while nodding their heads."

Qingcheng was stunned, "Madam, aren't you afraid?"

Madam Chen nodded, "Don't be afraid. We can't run away anyway, so we might as well believe it. Since Qinghe can come, it proves that we are surrounded."

"Qinghe, take Dachun back with you. Work hard for the county magistrate. If Lord Zhou has any orders, you can accept them."

Qinghe nodded, "Yes, sister-in-law."

When Qinghe left, he took Dachun away from the dungeon.

Dachun saw Qinghe and gnashed his teeth in anger, "Haven't you replaced me? Why are you still here? Or do you want to kill me?"

Seeing this, Qinghe said, "Why would I kill you? You are not a pig! I have raised you so fat and white, is it just for the purpose of killing you?"

Dachun was startled when he saw his hands and leg irons were opened. "Are you really going to let me go?"
