After rebirth, the Prime Minister's wife married the living devil

"I am willing to take Huang Batian's place and serve you, sir, but Yunlong County is my roots, and I am valued by all the bosses. I cannot lose the relationship with them, so the patrol camp will continue to escort their caravans."

Cai Zhang's face fell again, with an unhappy look on his face: "What do you mean? Since you have become the lieutenant general of the Jiedushi Mansion, do you still have to stay in your patrol camp in Yunlong County?"

Li Yanqi held the wine pot and poured himself some wine. He smiled as the water flowed and said, "How could that be possible? Yanqi is not someone who is in Cao's camp but his heart is with Han."

Cai Zhang's expression eased slightly.

Then Li Yanqi said, "It's not the patrol camp of Yunlong County, but the patrol camp of Chongzhou Prefecture."

Cai Zhang was startled, frowned and asked, "Are you planning to take these refugees to the provincial capital?"

"There are already enough refugees in the prefecture. Even if Yan Qi is thick-skinned, he dare not cause trouble for you and the prefect."

Li Yanqi held a small white porcelain cup in his hand, stroking the cup wall with his thumb and index finger.

"On the contrary, I am willing to share your worries by following you to the prefecture this time. I will use the patrol camp to collect and organize these refugees. The prefecture will not need to pay a penny for the expenses. You just need to help me host a banquet and introduce me to the local gentry and merchants in the prefecture."

"Of course, since you have helped me to this point, I will certainly receive some benefits from you. I will give you 40% of the proceeds from the banquet and will be at your disposal at any time without hesitation."

Li Yanqi smiled, held up the white porcelain cup and lightly knocked it against the glass of wine in front of Cai Zhang, then drank it all in one gulp.

Cai Zhang was suddenly startled and looked at Li Yanqi's handsome face solemnly for a long time. Without saying a word, he picked up the glass of wine in front of him and drank it.

Cai Zhang hadn't felt so happy for a long time, and he drank a little too much without realizing it.

Li Yanqi personally sent him back to the county government office, put him on the bed, and was about to say goodbye and leave.

Cai Zhang now felt that Li Yanqi was pleasing to the eye in every way. Seeing that he was so handsome and had to rush back so late, he couldn't help but want to show some sympathy for him.

"It's so late now, and the mountain road is hard to walk on. Let's just rest at the county government office."

Cai Zhang was lying on a dark sandalwood bunk bed when he caught sight of Yue'e, who followed him in wearing a light gauze dress.

"This beauty was just given to me by Boss Song. She's a young girl who hasn't even opened her eyes yet. If you like her, just bring her to sleep with you."

Cai Zhang was still a little reluctant. He had been idle in Yunlong County for a few days and was full of anger. He didn't like prostitutes, so he finally got such a decent and clean one.

But when I thought about Li Yanqi's ability, I didn't feel sorry for him anymore.

Compared with money and interests, what is a woman?

He has six or seven beautiful concubines from decent families in his prefecture. As long as Li Yanqi likes them, it would be fine for him to pick a few.

Li Yanqi didn't move his eyes, just looked at Cai Zhang with an embarrassed face, and said: "Yanqi thanks Lord Cai for his kindness. This is nothing, but I already have a beautiful wife at home. She is very jealous. If she knew, I'm afraid she would cry to me again."

"When I left home today, she was still sick, and she told me not to stay overnight outside, or she would go back to her parents' home and never live with me again."

After saying that, Li Yanqi sighed softly.

Cai Zhang immediately burst into laughter, pointed his finger at him, and mocked him, "Yan Qi, you are a man with weak authority. I never thought you were henpecked!"

"Forget it, in that case, I won't keep you here. I'll return to the prefecture in three days, and you can come with me then."

Li Yanqi seemed a little embarrassed, lowered his head and said softly: "Yes, sir, I will go back first, and we will see each other in three days."

After saying this, he turned and walked out.

Cai Zhang watched the strong figure disappear in the room and waved to Yue'e.

Seeing Yue'e's strange expression and looking at the direction where Li Yanqi disappeared, he couldn't help but sneer: "What are you looking at? Little slut, I'm still standing here, and you're already acting naughty with others?"

Yue'e came back to her senses immediately, and repeatedly said that she dared not, and sat next to Cai Zhang, acting coquettishly and silly.

Cai Zhang became angry and immediately pulled Yue'e onto the bed.

He treated Yue'e as just a toy and had no sympathy for her. Just to vent his anger, he said some dirty words and lowered the curtain without even taking off his clothes.

This was the first time for Yue'e to experience this. She felt as if she was being chopped into pieces by an axe. If she had a knife in her hand at this moment, she would have wanted to stab Cai Zhang into a pulp.

But she couldn't. She put on a fake face and acted like a spoiled child today just for this moment. As long as Cai Zhang could help her achieve her goal, she could endure any amount of humiliation and pain.

Thinking of what Chen Meixiang had taught her a few days ago, Yue'e immediately endured the severe pain, relaxed her curled up body, and began to hum in a hypocritical manner.

Just as Yue'e was about to pretend to flatter Cai Zhang, he had already done it.

Yue'e breathed a sigh of relief. She looked at Cai Zhang's satisfied and relaxed face and felt extremely disgusted.

She held back her nausea and snuggled into Cai Zhang's arms, sobbing, "Yue'e is already yours, and it's like a dream to have your love. I still feel scared when I think about how I almost didn't get to see you."

Cai Zhang was now feeling relaxed both physically and mentally, and it was the best time for him to talk. When he saw the bloodstains on Yue'e's snow-white long legs, he couldn't help but feel some pity for her.

"I know you are the daughter of the county magistrate, but your father has died of a stroke. Even if I reinstate him, I'm afraid it won't work. I will give some money to your father and send him back to Hua County to retire."

Unlike the thunder without rain just now, Yue'e's eyes were filled with tears at this time.

"Thank you for your kindness, my father, he has passed away..."

"what?"

"I have an uncle named Dong Beicheng. Because my father was bedridden, he wanted to get the last bit of money in the family, so he divorced my mother in my father's name and sold me to Chunfengyuan. Fortunately, the madam of Chunfengyuan had an old relationship with my father, so she didn't make things difficult for me."

"Dong Beicheng didn't give my father any food or water during this period, and tortured him to death."

Yue'e pretended to cry and lay in Cai Zhang's arms. She didn't dare to look up, for fear that he would see her hideous face filled with hatred.

"What! This is unreasonable!"

Cai Zhang was immediately furious and shouted, "Someone come!"

A guard came in and knelt at the door.

"Pass my order on Ma Ben to set out immediately to capture Dong Beicheng. Wait until tomorrow and bring him to the street corner to be chopped off for me!"

Yue'e's eyes suddenly turned red and she thanked him sincerely.

"Thank you, Yue'e!"

Cai Zhang drank a lot of wine, indulged himself, and got angry, and he was already exhausted.

He pulled Yue'e to lie down together, both eyes half asleep.

"I'm tired, take a rest."

Yue'e took advantage of his hazy consciousness and asked, "Sir, why did you agree to Li Yanqi's patrol camp? Aren't you afraid that he might be unruly?"

"I am not stupid. This is a free money-making business. I can also throw those annoying refugees to him. No matter how wild his heart is, he is still working for me... It is embarrassing for the regular army to do these things. Let him do it properly."

"This boy is a talented person, but it's a pity that I don't have a daughter to marry... What a pity."

Cai Zhang's voice became lower and lower as he spoke, until he began to snore.

Yue'e closed her eyes, looked at the crimson tent above her head, listened to the snoring in her ears, and wondered what she was thinking.
