Apr 11, 2022

Xu Qingjia wanted to imitate Sima Xiangru's moonlight piano pick, but unfortunately Hu Jiao was not Zhuo Wenjun, nor did he have much poetic and pictorial style. So, while Xu Qingjia was still complacent about it, Hu Jiao brought a basin of water and poured it on top of his head. The two went up and down the stairs and scolded each other, but Xu Qingjia was too polite, and in the end, Hu Jiao made her blushed and her neck thick.

It was because Xu Qingjia was inferior to Hu Jiao when it came to talking, so he took the initiative to show his favor and let Hu Jiao understand her difficulties. Under Hu Jiao's suggestion, Xu Qingjia decided to go to Chi Wenjun to ask for a clearer picture. Chi Wenjun admitted that there was a problem with the ledger, and he pointed out this flaw at the beginning, but Master Yang liked to be clever and inevitably revealed his tricks.

There are two factions in the current county government, headed by Yang Zhuzhu, who follow the Zhuxian magistrate. As for Chi Wenjun himself, he is more greedy and lustful, because he did not stand in the camp of the magistrate Zhu, and eventually fell into their trap. So under Xu Qingjia's persuasion, Chi Wenjun was about to reveal the whereabouts of the missing person in the cell and the connection between the ledger and the magistrate Zhu, but Gao Zheng brought someone over to take him away.

Chi Wenjun put a stone in Xu Qingjia's hand in a panic, but the stone could not bring any useful information. Although the clues about him were completely interrupted, it allowed Xu Qingjia to see that Shangyong County was in danger. Xu Qingjia knew that she was likely to encounter an accident, so she told Hu Jiao to leave Shangyong with He Lishu by then.

The two rested in the room at night. Xu Qingjia was troubled by recent events and couldn't sleep. Hu Jiao chatted with him and listened to him tell a story about a household official, who was Xu Qingjia's father. Back then, Father Xu was also a warm-hearted man. He thought he was talented and devoted himself to the affairs of the state, but he was banished to a small place.

Xu's father, who became the county magistrate, was not reconciled, so he spent a lot of thought and concentrated on research. He felt that one day he would be able to redevelop his grand plans. Unfortunately, he never got the opportunity to be promoted from beginning to end. This county magistrate has been doing it for several years. As Father Xu got older, he also changed from being ambitious at the time to being disheartened.

For him, the daily government affairs are nothing more than stamping the official seal on the pages of documents, and over time he has become the stamped master in everyone's mouth. Until Father Xu's body was found to be terminally ill, he was at a loss for three days, reviewing his life, and finally decided to do something for the people. He completed nine things in just three months, including building roads. , competing for land and water resources and real estate title deeds and the like.

The local people were very grateful, so they jointly made a universal umbrella for Xu’s father. Xu’s father was also very excited and taught his young son to be honest and honest. Originally, the cancer incident was nothing but an oolong. Unfortunately, Xu’s father was killed in a fire, and when he died, the Wanmin umbrella was thrown into the sea of fire.

The young Xu Qingjia was at a loss and was about to ask relatives and friends to help with the funeral. When he opened the door, he found that the door was full of local people. To him, these nine things are just ordinary little things, but to the local people, they are a good official who enforces the law impartially. Xu Qingjia will never forget his original intention, and he is fulfilling his original intention. also felt unprecedented pressure.

The conversation in the room became weaker and weaker until Xu Qingjia gradually fell asleep, which made Hu Jiao uncomfortable, and Gao Zheng on the roof fell into deep thought. In the second half of the night, the man in black returned to Xu Qingjia's residence and wanted to take the Wanmin umbrella from the closet. Fortunately, Gao Zheng appeared in time to beat him away.

Gao Zheng put the Wanmin umbrella back in the cabinet, and at the same time teased Hu Jiao with cotton, causing Xu Qingjia to be scolded. When Xu Qingjia was punished for kneeling, she accidentally saw footprints on the ground. Inspired by Hu Jiao, she recorded the shoe size in detail by measuring, and secretly memorized the shoe print pattern.

After checking again and again, Xu Qingjia locked the owner of the footprints on Gao Zheng. Although he knew that Gao Zheng entered the room last night, he also believed that there were other people in the room at that time. It's just that Xu Qingjia is very curious about Gao Zheng's origin. If he is not a magistrate of Zhu County, why can he still stand in Shangyong County? Unfortunately, Gao Zheng is still pretending to be mysterious, warning him to guard things and save his own life.
