Chapter 185 Return of the county magistrate
Xiaoqi left quickly after agreeing.

A moment later, the flying woman suddenly fell down.

The pirates exclaimed as they watched their saintess suddenly fall.

"The saint has fallen." The soldier here also muttered, with a look of disbelief.

"Where is there a saint, it's just an illusion designed." Xiao Wu said.

Just as the pirates below were flustered, suddenly a cloud of colorful smoke rose up in the sky, which was gorgeous and dazzing.

"What is that, another saint... are they fighting among themselves?" someone asked.

Xiao Wu didn't speak this time.

The colored smoke became more and more intense, and then a woman in white appeared in everyone's sight stepping on the colored smoke.

"Fairy, fairy..." The pirates below exclaimed one after another, "She came here on the colorful auspicious clouds..."

The soldiers were stunned, this is not a fairy, this is clearly their wife.

No, Madam is a fairy.

The lady has become a fairy.

The pirates knelt down on the ground and kowtowed frantically, shouting "Fairy, Fairy".

Only the pirate chiefs don't know what's going on.

The saintess they designed themselves fell from mid-air, and suddenly there was another fairy stepping on colorful auspicious clouds.

Where did this fairy come from? Is there someone who wants to rebel and seek their position?

Just as the ordinary pirates were paying their respects, a cannon shot suddenly.

Immediately afterwards, seven colorful flames burst out in the sky.

The colorful flames returned to the sky and flashed brightly, illuminating the entire Pearl Island like daytime.

As colorful flames streak across, the sky is filled with sweetness.

"The fairy is kind, the rain is falling from the sky..."

"The fairy is kind, the rain is falling from the sky..."

The pirates shouted, chasing the sweet-smelling powder that fell from mid-air.

Two quarters of an hour later, another cannon rang, and colorful fireworks burst into the sky again.

The fairy stepped on the colorful auspicious clouds and slowly disappeared from everyone's sight.

"Fairy...Fairy..."

The pirates below rushed to the place where the fairy disappeared like crazy.

Although the pirate leaders felt that someone was doing something, it was too late.

They couldn't hold back the tide of pirates leaving.

Wang Dabiao led people to ambush in the dark.

Meng Shiyu said that the pirates would appear here in a while, and they seemed to be bewitched.

Although Wang Dabiao was puzzled, with previous experience, he felt that what Meng Shiyu said would definitely happen.

Sure enough, it appeared.

Wang Dabiao looked at the pirates appearing in front of them as if they were puppets without their souls, and he admired Meng Shiyu in his heart.

These pirates were tied up one by one by Wang Dabiao.

These people must be brought back, because they say that Linshui County is the most important labor force.

These are Meng Shiyu's original words.

The pirates disappeared without a trace in an instant, and only a few pirate leaders remained on the altar.

Meng Shiyu brought people down from above and appeared in front of the pirate leader.

Those soldiers who followed Meng Shiyu were still in a daze, not knowing what happened.

"Who are you?" A pirate looked at Meng Shiyu warily and asked.

"Our officers and soldiers from Shanglinshui County... came to arrest you pirates," said a soldier.

"Officers and soldiers..." The pirate leader had an unbelievable expression on his face, "Why did you appear here?"

"How did you find this place? This is Xiandao."

"It's just an ordinary island, where is there any fairy island?" Meng Shiyu said coldly.

"Who is your chief?"

The eyes of the little bosses fell on the slightly older woman in the middle for an instant.

The woman looked at Meng Shiyu, "What kind of official are you?"

"Promoting officials from Linshui County!" Meng Shiyu replied.

"Push an official... a ninth-rank official?" The woman was a little surprised, as if she didn't expect Meng Shiyu's official position to be so low.

Such a lowly official can lead troops to her island.

"It seems that you know the official position of the court very well. Who are you?" Meng Shiyu asked.

"Of course I know, my father used to be the servant of the Ministry of Rites..." The woman sneered, "It's a pity that my father died too badly, and our whole family died too badly..."

Meng Shiyu didn't expect this woman's status to be so high.

Meng Shiyu's eyes lit up, the former servant of the official department, "Are you Lin Daiyu?"

"You, how could you... No, I'm not..." The woman suddenly denied her identity in a panic.

"Are you wearing a mask on your face? In my impression, Lin Daiyu is only 25 or [-] years old." Meng Shiyu said.

The woman looked at Meng Shiyu in shock, "Who are you, how do you know me so well..."

The woman's voice also changed at this time, it was hoarse and unpleasant just now, but now it is gentle and sweet.

"Because we were all implicated by the former prince, my surname is Meng..." Meng Shiyu said.

The woman looked at Meng Shiyu with disbelief, "Are you Cheng Amber's young master, and you were just a baby back then?"

"Yes." Meng Shiyu said.

"The imperial court hates us for destroying our family. Why did you join the imperial court and do things for the imperial court?" the woman asked, with more puzzlement and hatred in her voice.

"I'm not seeking refuge with the court, I just want to do something for the people of the world." Meng Shiyu said, "It's better than you being a pirate here."

The woman snorted, "What's wrong with me being a pirate, I'm free..."

"But you are harming others, which is inconsistent with Mr. Lin's original intention. What do you think Mr. Lin will think when he sees his beloved daughter doing such a thing?"

"No..." the woman roared, "Don't mention my father. It was because of his obsession that all the family members died. Otherwise, I would be left alone and helpless."

"I actually think that no matter what hardships he encounters, Master Lin's desire to build a peaceful and prosperous world has never changed." Meng Shiyu said.

"You can hate the emperor, and it doesn't matter if you assassinate him, but it's wrong for you to continue your pain and inflict it on more people."

"Don't educate me..." the woman said as she tore off the mask from her face.

Everyone present was shocked, because they didn't expect the face under the mask to be so beautiful.

She was originally an old woman, but now she is so beautiful, it is incredible.

"I'm not educating you, I'm just telling you what's on my mind." Meng Shiyu said.

"It's just your idea...I already hate this court."

"Your island is finished. What are your plans next? I'll take you back to Linshui County." Meng Shiyu looked at Lin Daiyu and said.

After all, after Zhonglie, he didn't want to embarrass him.

"Impossible..." After Lin Daiyu finished speaking, she suddenly pulled out something from her body and threw it on the ground.

With a bang, an explosion sounded, and a dense white mist rose up with it.

Xiao Wu rushed to arrest him, but he had disappeared.

"Don't worry about her." Meng Shiyu said, "Put the rest of these people together with other prisoners."

The soldiers below agreed.

Li Yulou walked over quickly holding the hem of her skirt, looking at Meng Shiyu expectantly, "Shiyu, how am I doing?"

"It's perfect..." Meng Shiyu reached out to hold her little hand, "Are you injured?"

"No...I'm fine." Li Yulou smiled and shook his head, "I was a little nervous at first, but then I felt very excited... Very exciting, Shiyu, I will do things like this in the future, and, I think The scenery above is really beautiful.”

Meng Shiyu stretched out his hand and pinched her little nose, "What can I do if you are so playful?"

"You have to promise me."

"Okay, I promise you, I will let you go to such fun things in the future." Meng Shiyu showed a helpless expression on his face.

"I reward you..." Li Yulou leaned over and whispered in his ear.

"grown ups……"

Li Yulou and Meng Shiyu were whispering when Wang Dabiao ran in and shouted.

"Ah, my lord, I'll come in later." Wang Dabiao felt a little embarrassed that he came at the wrong time.

"Okay, come in, what's the matter?" Meng Shiyu asked.

"The pirates are locked up, and the number of people counted, a total of 510 people." Wang Dabiao said.

"Are there any spies from Penglai Island?" Meng Shiyu asked.

"My subordinates have noticed that there are no red dots like those on the pirates of Shuangya Island. I also asked a few pirates. They don't seem to know any Penglai language..." Wang Dabiao looked at Meng Shiyu, "This subordinate will go to investigate again. , and then ask Mieko to see if there is anyone here."

"No need, don't hurt your feelings..." Meng Shiyu said.

Wang Dabiao blushed.

"How's it going, isn't it good?" Meng Shiyu asked.

Wang Dabiao nodded shyly.Mieko is really good, especially when she does that kind of thing, her voice, her movements, her posture...

"Okay, let's take a rest after guarding the prisoner strictly." Meng Shiyu waved his hand.

"Have you caught the pirate leader here?" Li Yulou asked.

"No..." Meng Shiyu shook his head, "She is an old friend of mine, so I let her go on purpose."

"How could it be your old friend?" Li Yulou asked suspiciously.

"His father used to be the Minister of the Ministry of Officials, and his family was also involved in the former prince's case. It's just that their family is worse than ours." Meng Shiyu said.

"I didn't expect that the child of a court official would become a pirate leader." Li Yulou also said with emotion.

"Let's go, let's go and rest, the night is already deep, besides, didn't you say you want to reward me?" Meng Shiyu dragged Li Yulou into Lin Daiyu's residence.

The place where the girls live is very clean and simple.They changed their sheets and quilts, and Meng Shiyu and Li Yulou spent the night warmly.

On the second day, I slept until three poles in the sun before getting up.

During breakfast, Wang Dabiao came in to report the situation.

"My lord, there are more property here than Shuangya Island." Wang Dabiao was full of excitement.

"Don't be in a hurry to make statistics, bring them back to Linshui County, and let Madam slowly make statistics into the account." Meng Shiyu ordered.

It took more than 20 days before and after the attack on the pirates. Meng Shiyu was worried about an accident in Linshui County, so he was not in a hurry to deal with the matter here. He had to rush back to the county seat.

Meng Shiyu was worried about Linshui County, so there was no delay.After the things were loaded onto the ship, the ten warships sailed in the direction of Linshui County intact.

After sailing on the sea for a few days, the boat entered the coast of Linshui County and docked at the pier.

"Wang Dabiao, move all the belongings to the warehouse of the yamen, and ask these captives about their origins in detail. If they can find their families, send them some money to let them go home. If they can't find them, they will stay in Linshui County to work. "Meng Shiyu jumped off the boat and reached out to hold Li Yulou's hand.

Li Yulou also jumped off the boat.

Meng Shiyu briefly explained to Wang Dabiao, and then led Li Yulou to ride quickly to Linshui County.

Arrived in Linshui County.The city wall was raised a little higher.However, the workers were not constructing, nor did they hear the ping-pong-pong sound of construction, as if the whole city was in dead silence.

"Shiyu, what's going on?"

Yulou also felt that something was wrong, because the entire Linshui County was under construction, and it was impossible to have no sound at all like it is now.

"I don't know, I can only go and see first..." Meng Shiyu and Li Yulou rode into the county seat.

The streets in the county town have been widened, and all of them are paved with cobblestone roads, which are very smooth. Only some unfinished work remains on both sides of the road.

"Something must have happened to Shi Yu."

Li Yulou's face was tense, feeling inexplicably that Linshui County seemed to be shrouded by a huge force.

"It won't be a big deal, what can happen without the pirates?" Meng Shiyu comforted Li Yulou while lashing the horse vigorously.

Meng Shiyu and Li Yulou rode to the Linshui county government office.

No servants were seen at the entrance of the county government office, so Li Yulou and Meng Shiyu got off their horses and walked towards the county government office.

"Master Meng, you, you are back." Meng Shiyu and Li Yulou walked in side by side, and it was Master Zhu who met him.

"Master Zhu, what's the situation? Why did everything stop?" Meng Shiyu looked at Master Zhu and didn't have time to greet him, and went straight to the point.

"Officer Mengtui is back. This county has been waiting for you for several days."

At this moment, a voice came from behind, followed by a short, thin and frail man who came out.But he held his head high, looked arrogant, and wore the official uniform of the county magistrate.

"It turns out that Magistrate Zhang is back." Meng Shiyu looked at him.

"Master Meng actually knows this county?" County Magistrate Zhang's voice sounded strange.

"I don't know." Meng Shiyu shook his head.

County Magistrate Zhang's complexion was a bit unsightly.

"It's just that I know this official uniform." Meng Shiyu's words were naked, meaning that if you put on this official uniform, you are the county magistrate, and if you take it off, you are nothing.

"As an official in this county, what should you do for leaving your post without authorization?" Magistrate Zhang slapped his palm on the table and shouted sharply while staring at Meng Shiyu.

"I have been in Linshui County for more than half a year, and I haven't seen the magistrate. As the leader of the county, where has he been?" Meng Shiyu asked instead of answering him.

"This county, as your upper peak, is asking you now, but you don't answer, you dare to ask back, who gave you the courage?" County magistrate Zhang snapped.

"My Da Zhou's law gave me courage. As an official of this county, if I leave my post without authorization for more than two months, I can lose my official position.

I have been here for more than half a year, and I haven't seen the county magistrate. You have left your post for more than two months, and you are no longer the magistrate of this county. "
