Wu Ze, who went down the mountain after finishing his work, met Xia Qiu and said happily: "You are not the same one yesterday...... That ......"

Goodbye big brother, Xia Qiu's heart warmed, "Hmm." ”

Wu Ze looked at her, "You weren't caught yesterday, were you?" ”

Xia Qiu shook his head, "No." ”

"It's a pity it didn't kill her." Wu Ze was depressed when he thought about it, and said angrily: "The next time I have a chance, I will never let her go." By the way, which village are you from, the next time there is an operation to call me, this damn trafficker can't let her hurt people anymore. ”

Wu Ze is self-acquainted and always likes to smile and welcome people.

His smile was like the warm winter sun, giving her a glimmer of light when she was walking alone in the dark.

"Big brother...... Xia Qiu's chest was dry and sad, and her mouth was full of bitterness, "I have already reported to the official, she will be brought to justice." You...... Live well, it's not worth risking your life for that kind of person. At any time, your life is the most important thing, don't waste it casually, it's not worth it. ”

She didn't want him to block her again.

His eyes were sour and blurry, and Xia Qiu hurriedly left with his head down.

What she said was inexplicable, Wu Ze was confused, but for some reason, she always felt that she was very familiar, like a relative who hadn't seen her for many years.

"The boss of the Wu family, your father was beaten." In the distance, a villager shouted at him, "Someone is going to die, why don't you go back and take a look." ”

Wu Ze shuddered and rushed home in a panic. Hell, why is it that every time I see her, I die.

Walking all the way to rest, it was evening when I arrived at the county seat. Xia Qiu was not in a hurry to return to the county office, but went to the vegetable market to buy vegetables and fruits, and then bought a live chicken and medicinal herbs, planning to mend it to Lu Ting.

The government has an inner courtyard to live in, but the food has to be solved by itself. Lu Tingxiu is sick and has no money to treat, and it is estimated that he is also a poor ghost, so how can he have spare money to eat.

There is a tough battle to fight in the future, and we have to raise him strong.

Feng Yuzhu had twelve taels of silver in her money bag, and it was estimated that it would take a few days, so she had to hurry up and think of ways to make money.

Carrying a large bag and a small bag to the yamen, the messenger saw that she was dressed in tatters and sent her directly as a beggar, and it happened that Liu Tong heard the movement and hurriedly came out to explain before letting her go.

The messenger led her into the inner courtyard and advised, "Lord Lu is sick, rest inside, you can take care of her." ”

It's strange, his wind chill is obviously better, why is he sick again?

Alas, it's only to blame him for being too weak, weak and supportive.

went to the kitchen to put down his things, Xia Qiu knocked on the door and went directly into Lu Tingxiu's room, only to see that the room was full of various archives, and he was sitting in front of the table, frowning and looking through the case file.

"Aren't you sick?" It's time to lie down and get some rest.

"Well, terminally ill." The slender knuckles rubbed his forehead, and Lu Tingxiu threw the file on the table with a dark face.

The situation in Lin County is far more serious than he imagined.

Xia Qiu poured him a glass of water, and said with a smile: "It seems that you are not stupid, you know how to pretend to be sick and weak." ”

"I think you know a lot." Being poked in the center, Lu Tingxiu couldn't help but glance at her, "Since you are prepared, why don't you tell me about the situation in Lin County." "The officials have their own thoughts, and the woman in front of her is not easy to think about.

"As you can see in the file, Linxian is a barbarian state, and the forces are even more complicated, whoever has a hard fist has the final say, the yamen is in vain, and even the meat sellers on the street dare to use knives to cut the officials, just because someone in his family is a little follower of the bully, he dares to be so presumptuous."

Lu Tingxiu's face sank like water, staring at Xia Qiu sensitively, "Who are you?" "It's not easy to say that.

Xia Qiu picked up the file on the table and looked at it a few times, and sneered: "This Wu Tongxing is the biggest bully in Lin County, there are two or three hundred hooligans and ruffians under his command, and there are countless gambling houses, brothels, restaurants, and fields under his name. During his three years in office, he and his subordinates committed dozens of crimes, including adultery, murder, arson, and indecency. ”

These are all things that he did not give in after being threatened with kidnapping for two months, and almost risked his own life in exchange.

Kill bullies and corrupt officials, and return justice to the people. He became famous in Lin County with a case and regained the prestige of the county. In time, he will surely shine in officialdom, but it's a pity......

Lu Tingxiu's eyes sank, "Why do you know so clearly?" It seems that he was thinking too simply.

"Wu Tongxing has a special hobby and likes to play with women from good families. My brother was sold to him through human traffickers and dumped in the suburbs. So, I want him dead! Xia Qiu stared at him directly, and said coldly: "And Lord Lu, if you want to make a difference in Lin County, you must get rid of local bullies, rectify corrupt officials, control corrupt officials, and stabilize people's livelihood, so that you can be reused by the court." ”

"I asked Liu Tong, you are an only daughter, where did you come from?"

"It's my brother-in-law." Xia Qiu said casually, "After the death of my brother-in-law, my parents died one after another who couldn't stand the blow. Three lives, do you think I shouldn't take revenge? ”

"Looking at your words and deeds, I don't look like a country woman with shallow knowledge, but more like a person with a heart who calculates every step of the way."

"You haven't lost a loved one, so you can't appreciate the power of hatred, it can make people very powerful, even reborn."

Her translucent eyes burst out with a flash of hatred.

Lu Tingxiu thinks that her acting skills are good.

"You are the magistrate of the county, in order to gain a firm foothold in Lin County, you do not hesitate to pretend to be sick to avoid yourself and exchange time for space, not to mention that I am an isolated and helpless woman, and it will naturally take some effort to take revenge with your momentum, why is it strange."

There's nothing wrong with that, but it's uncomfortable to listen to.

"So, you didn't meet me by chance, but arranged it on purpose?"

"It's a chance encounter." Xia Qiu raised her eyebrows, "However, even if I don't meet by chance, I will meet you in other ways." ”

Is it all like this when the snake speaks?

"Instead of suspecting me of ulterior motives, you better find a way to get out of the predicament as soon as possible, and don't become a puppet county commander who can be slaughtered by others." Xia Qiu threw the file on the table, and said in a firm tone: "I will find a way to help you get rid of Wu Tongxing." ”

Okay, it's all provoked, she's a human or a demon, and sooner or later she'll show her true colors.

"You can stay for the time being, as for the daily expenses and remuneration......" Lu Tingxiu tore off the jade pendant on his waist and handed it to her, his words were embarrassed but reluctant, "Take it as a pawn, it should be worth a lot of money." ”

The jade pendant is smooth and transparent, the material is excellent, and it is indeed a rare commodity.

But...... Xia Qiu put it in his nose and sniffed it, his brows frowned, "How long have you been wearing this jade pendant?" ”

"It's been five or six years."

Xia Qiu said coldly: "If you wear it for another year or two, you can die." ”

Lu Tingxiu: "......" mouth is so damaged, how did she survive until now!

"This jade pendant has been soaked in aconitine, and the venom has been involved in the jade, and I am afraid that it will take more than ten years of volatilization to be disposed of. Although it will not be immediately fatal, if it is worn and absorbed for a long time, it will cause irreparable damage to the internal organs, and the person will become weaker and weaker, or suffer from insomnia and palpitations, and eventually die. Xia Qiu snorted coldly, "The person who poisoned him is really vicious, turning the poison into a chronic poison, and even the doctor can't find out." ”

"Since you can't even find out to the doctor, how do you know?" For her words, Lu Tingxiu didn't believe it at all.

"Smells it." Xia Qiu said bluntly.

Lu Tingxiu took the jade pendant and smelled it for a long time, and said with a dark face: "You are fooling me?" ”

Xia Qiu didn't blink, "You have a problem with your nose." "Aconitine has a unique spicy taste, and the amount that penetrates into the jade pendant is small, and ordinary people's noses can't smell it at all, but she is different, even if she is reborn, she still retains the unique sense of smell of the puppet corpse.

Lu Tingxiu: "......"

"If you don't believe it, can you think about how your body has changed in the past few years of wearing a jade pendant?"

I can't help but think about some things, and thinking about it really makes Lu Tingxiu's expression change drastically. That's right, his body was bad six years ago, he has practiced martial arts since he was a child, and his body is several times better than that of his peers, but since his mother passed the jade pendant to him when she was dying, his body gradually weakened in less than half a year, and over time, let alone practicing martial arts, he even ran two steps with breath.

No matter how carefully he protected, he still contracted the disease two days before the spring festival, and finally missed the third rank in the palace.

Thinking about it carefully, his mother was born in a family of Wuhou, and she was invincible to all diseases with martial arts, but she became weaker and weaker for some reason, and died within a few years.

Lu Tingxiu's face was ugly, and Xia Qiu knew that he had guessed correctly. As for why the jade pendant is poisonous, it is mostly just a pickling method played by the high-ranking families.

"You don't have to worry, I will dissolve the poison in your body and ensure that you can go up the mountain to fight tigers in half a year." Xia Qiu put away the jade pendant and gave him another five taels of silver, "You are new to the city, you need to buy some things, save the money first, I will find a way to earn it." ”

The matter of the jade pendant, the culprit is far away in the capital, even if he is full of resentment, he is beyond the reach of the whip.

Lu Tingxiu retracted his mind, it was indeed a shame to rely on a woman to support him, but he needed money to take care of people and things.

After receiving the money, he said with a sneering face: "When I receive the money, I will pay you back double." ”

Xia Qiu couldn't ask for it, "Well, I don't lose money on this business." ”

Lu Tingxiu: "......" felt like she had fallen into her pit.
