If you don't work hard to farm the fields, you will inherit the throne with the prince.

Chapter 62 Threatening the Magistrate
The voices of Xie Mingzhu and Liu Guizhi were not deliberately lowered. Qin Che could hear their conversation clearly in the yard.

He stood in the yard with his hands behind his back, looked up at the blue sky above his head, and smiled knowingly.

When Shi Er came back after watering the sweet potato field, he was even more surprised to find that since his master and his new master got married, they had become very smiling.

This is a great thing!

Xie Mingzhu and Liu Guizhi moved the washed bamboo shoots to the stove, and boiled a pot of water to remove the astringency of the bamboo shoots.

Xie Mingzhu cooks the tender bamboo shoots first, and after the tender bamboo shoots are cooked, they pass through the well water to cool.

She picked up the not very tender bamboo shoots in the pot, cut them into thin shreds, and set them aside for later use.

Some other older bamboo shoots were boiled by Xie Mingzhu to remove the green water, and then exposed to the sun to lose water.

For the shredded bamboo shoots, Xie Mingzhu is marinated with salt and some condiments.

Xie Mingzhu also washed the tender bamboo shoots for pickled bamboo shoots, and put them into a pottery jar specially made for kimchi after they were left to cool.

She melted the salt with well water and poured it directly into the pottery jar.

After finishing this series, Xie Mingzhu went to the mountains to pick some wild pepper fruits and leaves, washed them with well water and soaked them in clay pots.

Liu Guizhi helped move the jar of soaking bamboo shoots to a cool place.

She looked at a clay pot beside her and asked curiously, "Mingzhu, what is this?"

"soy sauce."

Liu Guizhi wondered, "What kind of oil is soy sauce?"

"It's not oil." Xie Mingzhu lifted the lid to check it out, and Liu Guizhi moved over curiously and asked, "Isn't this just soybean paste?"

"Yes and no!"

Xie Mingzhu took a closer look and explained: "After the soybean paste is fermented, it will produce soy sauce. Soy sauce can be used to mix rice, vegetables, and cook noodles."

"It's so amazing?"

"Yes!"

As a silly old sister-in-law, Liu Guizhi couldn't help asking: "This is what my sister-in-law taught you, right? My sister-in-law knows a lot!"

Ahh...it was a beautiful misunderstanding.

Xie Mingzhu didn't intend to explain, but said: "Those things are in the books! Sister-in-law, when you learn how to read, you will find a lot of things in the books."

"I still don't know a few big characters!"

Liu Guizhi, who has always disliked reading, can't help but wonder if she could read, after spending the whole morning with Xie Mingzhu, would it be different?

On the other side, Shi Da drove Xie Mingxuan and his wife to the county seat.

Now the transportation is inconvenient, the farthest place Zhu Yeqing has been to is Fengxiang Town, this is the first time he has come to this county.

She looked at the buildings in the county seat, and at the pedestrians on the street, and couldn't help feeling a little envious.

General Shi parked his car at the "Yunlai Inn" on South Street. Xie Mingxuan and Zhu Yeqing were shocked when they got out of the car.

They never expected that Xie Mingzhu and Qin Che would buy such a restaurant.

Uncle Yu and Aunt Yu came up to welcome them, and said with a smile: "My in-laws, third young master, put down your things first and take a rest."

Uncle Yu and Aunt Yu were not by Xie Mingzhu and Qin Che's side, and they were quite worried. They just wanted to hand over the inn to Xie Mingxuan and his wife earlier so that they could return to Qin Che's side.

"Uncle Yu, my sister asked me to hand this over to you."

Uncle Yu took the envelope and looked at it. The words on it were those of his master.

After reading ten lines at a glance, he said to Aunt Yu, "I'll go out for a while."

Aunt Yu smiled and said, "Be careful on the road."

Uncle Yu took the sketch and went straight to the county government office. The magistrate of the county government office is now welcoming distinguished guests from afar.

"Ma'am, your father and brother broke the law..."

A gorgeously dressed lady sat on the grand teacher's chair, took a sip of the hot tea in the cup, and said with a knife in her smile: "The law is dead, but man is alive. My father and my younger brother must live. As for Qiu As for the beheading, you can find two death row prisoners to replace, won’t that be enough?”

The county magistrate looked at the peach-cheeked and pink-faced face in front of him, and felt a chill all over his body.

He couldn't believe it and asked: "Is this what Madam meant? Or what was meant by the Sheriff?"

The lady winked, and the nurse next to her quickly handed a letter to the county magistrate. The county magistrate took the letter and read it carefully, especially when he saw a square stamp on it, his legs became weak!
"My lord, do you choose Qingyun Road? Or do you choose to leave your old age and return to your hometown?"

In just one breath, the county magistrate made a decision. He looked at the noble lady and said firmly: "Madam, even if I give up this black gauze hat, I still want to protect the people's integrity! The Gou family has committed many evils, and there is more than enough death..."

Before the county magistrate finished speaking, the lady smashed a tea cup in her hand in front of the county magistrate.

"Does your lord take the sheriff seriously?"

The county magistrate stood up straight.

He is like a bamboo in the mountains, despite the wind and rain, he still stands proudly here.

"I have never seen my wife today."

The noble lady stood up, and said indifferently and mockingly: "Okay, very good, then I wish you an early journey home and reunion with your loved ones."

The county magistrate cupped his hands and said, "Go slowly, don't send me off!"

The noble lady left with a group of servants in a hurry.

The county magistrate walked to the nearest chair and sat down. He looked helplessly at the blue sky in the distance, and couldn't help thinking, the reason why the Gou and his sons were so arrogant was because they knew there was someone above them?

Are villains like them protected?
What about ordinary people?

Should they die?

How unfair this world is!

The county magistrate took a deep breath, as if he wanted to exhale the stale air deep in his heart.

"Come here, take Gou and his son to Caishikou, and ask to be executed immediately!"

The county magistrate tidied up his official uniforms and strode out of the county office.

Before he walked out of the county office, he saw Master Yu who was holding the envelope, and asked in extreme surprise: "My lord, what are you..."

"Who was it just now?" Master Yu asked.

The magistrate said: "The seventh aunt of the sheriff."

"What are you?" Master Yu asked again.

The county magistrate smiled bitterly and said: "The county guards them, but the official cannot protect them. If even the official cannot be the master of the people, what is the use of the official wearing this black gauze hat?"

Uncle Yu asked again, "Then what are you?"

The county magistrate's expression froze, and he said murderously: "Even if I fight this black gauze hat, I will kill him too!"

The various crimes committed by Gou and his son are heinous.

If he let them out, they would only become more arrogant!
For the sake of the people, he had to do it!

"Please."

Uncle Yu and the others knew in advance that the county magistrate was a good character, and when they met today, it was indeed so!

"My lord." The county magistrate clasped his hands and begged, "If this official leaves, please ask your lord to find a good official for the people of Fengxiang County, so that the people can't suffer and have nowhere to complain!"

Uncle Yu said in his heart: If the master is here, if the county magistrate dares to change the magistrate, then... wouldn't it be a slap in the face of the master?
"I will escort the adults for a ride, please!"

　Baby, do you have a ticket?
