The whole village is fleeing famine, fortunately I have a concubine system

That person holds a high position and has royal blood, and cannot be easily shaken by a mere prefect like him.

Moreover, they lacked the most crucial substantive evidence, which is why they did not take action to arrest Yin Tongzhi.

He just wanted to use Yin Tongzhi as bait to lure out the person hiding behind the scenes.

Now the person behind the scenes has been lured out, but Chu Hezhou doesn’t even know when he arrived.

He also had people kill everyone in the entire mansion in the city, not even leaving a complete corpse.

And burned it cleanly with a fire.

Fortunately, Chu Hezhou had already sent the matter of the gold mine and Yin Tongzhi to his father-in-law via a secret letter.

His father-in-law also replied to his message, asking him to stay calm and not to act rashly.

This matter is of great importance and it is beyond their control.

It would be bad if it leads to fatal disaster.

Therefore, Chu Hezhou could only grit his teeth and swallow his anger when he saw the scene in front of him.

But no one knows what Chu Hezhou is thinking as to whether to continue pursuing the matter.

Have the bodies of the two innocent and tragically dead guards and all the members of the Yin family properly buried and put to rest.

He also had someone allocate money to the families of the two guards to properly handle the matter.

Only then did he return to the government office exhausted.

Someone sent a letter to Wang Chengzi, informing him that Yin Tongzhi had been assassinated.

Not only that, but the entire family was murdered.

Tell Wang Chengzi to be more careful recently. Let's stop with this matter now and don't discuss it anymore.

The letter was sent to Wang Chengzi urgently, just after dawn.

Wang Chengzi looked at the letter that was sent to him and broke out in a cold sweat.

I really didn't expect it to be so involved. Now even Yin Tongzhi will not be exterminated.

At this point, I had no intention of continuing to sleep, so I sat on the bed with my clothes on until dawn.

Zhang Xing'er was awakened by Wang Chengzi's movement and saw Wang Chengzi sitting on the bed with a serious look on his face.

He also sat up and asked with concern:

"Brother Cheng, what's wrong with you?

What happened? "

Wang Chengzi didn't want to make Zhang Xing'er worry, so he didn't tell her the truth.

He just said that Chu Hezhou sent him a letter, asking him to pay more attention to the actions of his subordinates when collecting taxes.

In the first year in office, we must not make any mistakes on taxation.

Don’t do the same wrong thing as Chen Youni.

Zhang Xing'er believed it to be true, and since it was almost time for the autumn harvest, she didn't suspect anything.

He lay down next to Wang Chengzi and lay down again.

"Brother Cheng, it's still early, do you want to sleep a little longer?"

Wang Chengzi tucked the corner of the quilt for Zhang Xing'er and said:

"Go to sleep first. I'm thinking about something."

Zhang Xing'er was also used to Wang Chengzi's sudden urge to stay up all night, and she knew that Wang Chengzi was thinking about important matters at the moment.

She didn't disturb him and soon fell into a deep sleep leaning against Wang Chengzi.

Wang Chengzi sat on the bed, thinking quietly.

He also comforted himself by saying that he knew nothing now and only knew about the gold mine.

But who was going to mine the gold, and who kidnapped himself and captured nearby refugees to do the work?

He knew nothing about the people behind the scenes, and he thought they would not go to great lengths to kill him.

Otherwise, coming here from the provincial capital just to kill a small county magistrate would be a waste of time and effort.

It also increases their risk of exposure.

After figuring it out, Wang Chengzi's tense body finally relaxed.

However, even though he thought so, Wang Chengzi still transferred a few yamen runners over from the yamen early the next morning.

I told Old Mrs. Wang that the family is different now than before, and when others go out, there are always many people following to serve them.

But he only had a few servants in his family, and if he went out, others would laugh at him as a county magistrate.

Even if people don't talk about him to his face, people will laugh at him behind his back.

It is amazing that in the house of a county magistrate, there are only a few servants.

It's not impressive at all to laugh at the county magistrate behind his back.

Now let these yamen runners act as a receptionist at home.

You should stay there for a while and find a few servants you can trust.

Then transfer a few of them back.

Old Mrs. Wang, who was very concerned about her reputation, of course listened to the advice and thought that what Wang Chengzi said was absolutely right.

As the mother of a county magistrate, I have to give her a full show.

So he agreed very readily, and not only that, he also cooperated with his family members who wanted to go out.

Whenever you go out, you must bring at least two people with you. Even if you do nothing, they have to follow you.

This greatly matched Wang Chengzi's wishes. He had originally been thinking about how to make sure that his family members would be accompanied by yamen runners whenever they went out.

Unexpectedly, with just one sentence from Old Lady Wang, the matter was completed perfectly.

If Wang Chengzi spoke, what Old Lady Wang said would definitely not be as effective.

After resolving the matter, Wang Chengzi finally felt relieved.

And whenever Old Lady Wang went out, she would always bring the two yamen runners with her.

Even when buying groceries, she has to have someone follow her, but that also has an advantage for Old Lady Wang.

Originally I could only buy ten or five kilograms of things, but now with two more people I can buy a lot more at once.

It just so happened that Old Lady Wang was planning to pickle some vegetables or something, so the two of them came in handy.

Everyone was carrying a big bag of vegetables.

The two yamen runners looked at each other, holding the dishes in their hands and feeling like they were about to cry but had no tears.

Didn’t the county magistrate say that they came here to protect the Wang family closely?

How come it has become carrying vegetables now?

In the morning, the county magistrate said that he would select a few people to go to Wang's house to protect the family.

But this is something that everyone should do voluntarily.

Anyone who wants to go can come and talk to him, but it would be best if they have some good kung fu skills.

And in addition to the wages from the yamen, during the time I went to Wang's house.

Wang Chengzi would also subsidize part of the money himself as hard work fee for them.

They won't work in vain.

It was such a good thing. As soon as Wang Chengzi finished notifying his subordinates, the yamen runners were in an uproar.

That’s a great thing!

Besides having extra hard-earned money, of course this is nice.

But this is not what they want most.

What do they want?

Of course it’s an opportunity!

An opportunity to show up in front of Wang Chengzi.

You have to know that Peng Feixin was asked to go to Fengcheng to report the news to the county magistrate's family.

Only then did he leave a good impression in front of Wang Chengzi.

Afterwards, he was arranged by Wang Chengzi to be by his side and follow Wang Chengzi closely.

It is said that a seventh-rank official is a good person in front of the prime minister, and this is absolutely true.

Although Wang Chengzi was only an insignificant official, it was the highest official position in Wudu.

After Peng Feixin became Wang Chengzi's personal bodyguard, his status also rose.

Even the county magistrate had to be polite when meeting Peng Feixin, let alone them.
