After all, Magistrate Li has been here for several years. He would rather lower his profile than offend an unknown enemy.

If he wants it, go get it, there is nothing to lose.

Looking at Little Fatty's leaving figure, Qin Yue couldn't help but laugh.

"This little fat guy is really a good guy. He doesn't want to offend anyone. However, as a prefect, he is being manipulated. If someone finds out, they will definitely take advantage of his weak temperament to do something bad. Come."

Shitou smiled: "Don't be sure, he has been manipulated a long time ago, otherwise he would not be so smooth in dealing with things, and he would not look like an official."

Qin Yue looked at Jing'er and Yuehua, who were making lunch. They steamed a pot of rice with purple taro and white rice, fried a shredded potato, tomatoes and eggs, and stir-fried meat with garlic moss, all of which were home-cooked dishes.
But the taste is still good. The strange thing is that even if they are cooking in the house, there is no smell of oil smoke. If the shopkeeper knows this, he will definitely be shocked.

No one dares to cook in a room with sandalwood furniture. That would be a waste of such good wood.

Now that the food is ready, let’s eat first.

While Shitou was eating, he made comments and gave suggestions to the two of them. Jing'er and Yuehua listened carefully and kept nodding.

Qin Yue sighed in her heart, these two girls, what are they not good at learning but cooking? As long as they know how to do it, they will be working in the future, ugh~
However, if Jing'er marries Haotian in the future, then the most she can do is give it to Haotian, but what about her own Yuehua?
What kind of husband will this child choose?

After dinner, the children went to rest, leaving Qin Yue and Shitou alone in the room, drinking tea and waiting for Magistrate Li.

It took a long time before he came.

As soon as he saw Qin Yue, his attitude immediately became respectful, and he knelt on the ground with a plop.

"I have met the Princess Protector and King Xiaoyao."

Qin Yue snorted: "Are you quite well informed?"

"Although I am tied up in Luan City, there is a man in the city who is known as Bai Xiaosheng. He knows everything in this world. I asked him specifically to find out."

"You are honest."

"I dare not deceive the eldest princess."

"Where's the information?"

"That's right, I'll tell you. It should be much better than showing it to you."

"Get up and sit there and talk."

Magistrate Li stood up, glanced at the bench on the ground, sat down immediately, wiped his sweat, and Shitou handed him a cup of herbal tea.

"Thank you, Your Majesty"

Qin Yue glared at him: "If there is any discrepancy in the sentence, be careful about the lives of your whole family."

"Don't dare, don't dare"

At this time, the shopkeeper had already walked to the door. When he saw Magistrate Li sitting on the small bench, his eyes narrowed and he was about to turn around and leave when Qin Yue's voice came out.

"Now that you're here, just stay and listen. If it doesn't match, you can add it."

The shopkeeper turned around and immediately showed a bright smile.

"Yes, yes, I am also here to fulfill my promise."

Qin Yue pointed to the bench next to Magistrate Li: "Sit there and talk."

The shopkeeper and Magistrate Li looked at each other. They both felt like they were prisoners, and the person sitting on the chair was their interrogator.

"I will speak first."

The shopkeeper was stunned. Magistrate Li actually called himself a minister. Are the two people sitting in front of him from the royal family?
Most likely, he lowered his head and rolled his eyes.

After Magistrate Li drank the tea, he felt refreshed. He really wanted to praise how delicious the tea was, but when he came to his mouth, he changed his mind.

"Shall we start from the time when I took up my post here?"

"Say it!"

"After receiving the order from above, I took my whole family and went straight to Luan City. Before I entered the city, I was almost intercepted on the way. Most of them were in danger. However, I had great orders and entered Luan City as scheduled."

An hour later, Magistrate Li was so thirsty that he asked for a cup of tea and drank it.

"I've almost finished what I've said. Why don't you ask Shopkeeper Xiao to tell you more?"

"Speak."

The shopkeeper swallowed his saliva and looked up at Qin Yue, only to see a pair of sharp eyes.

He was so frightened that he immediately lowered his head.

To be honest, the look in this woman's eyes was so terrifying. With his skill, it could make his heart tremble. This woman was not simple. Could she be the one in the legend?

He asked bravely: "Are you the eldest princess in the rumor?"

Qin Yue took out her nail clippers and trimmed her nails. She said slowly: "Since you have Bai Xiaosheng here, you should all know who I am."

"Are you really that one?"

"Tell me about it!"

The shopkeeper murmured to himself: "Luancheng is going to change."

He gritted his teeth, shook out everything he knew, and then said.

"That's all I know."

Qin Yue glanced at him: "Your martial arts is also considered a top master, why are you here?"

The old man was shocked, but after thinking about it, he was relieved.

"My wife's home is here. It's hard to leave our hometown."

"Well, it's not easy for you either. Being an innkeeper makes you feel bad, right?"

"Fortunately, inns are not as good as restaurants and teahouses. Most of the people who come here are staying, so it's not too chaotic. Restaurants and teahouses are the most smoky places. There are almost constant fights there."

Magistrate Li also added: "The people in the city live in fear every day. Some of the beautiful girls have disguised themselves and fled here to make a living elsewhere."

"What did they do after they robbed me?"

"After they got it, some took concubines, and some were sold directly to brothels. However, it has been better in the past two years, because there are almost no baby girls left in Luan City, all are boys, and they can't catch any young girls. Later, they will also arrest some women.”

"The imperial court really doesn't know about this?"

The shopkeeper snorted coldly: "How can you not know? So what if you just know. The people here are well-informed. Even if the emperor sends dragon guards, it doesn't matter. They can't catch people if they leave the building empty. We can't spend the rest of our lives here. "

Qin Yuemi smiled with eyes wide open: "It seems that my trip to the palace is in vain?"

"Everyone in the Eastern Zhou Dynasty knows about your ability. Even Bai Xiaosheng admires you."

"Master of the Wulin Alliance, why don't you intervene in this matter?"

"Humph, he is new to the job. His internal conflicts have not been resolved yet. How can he have time to take care of the affairs here? It's too late to whip him."

"Okay, if I encounter you, I'll take care of it."

Magistrate Li sighed: "Now the whole city knows that you are coming, and they are all watching secretly. If you take action, everyone may escape."

Qin Yue curled her lips: "If I take action and they still run away, what's the difference with others? However, I want to verify the truth of what you said."

Before the two of them could respond, they were frozen in place.

After Qin Yue searched the souls, she was convinced that what the two said was 90% true and 10% watery.

"You guys go and do whatever you need to do when you get back. Don't panic. I'll take care of everything."

"Yes!"

The two of them left the guest room, wiped the sweat from their heads at the same time, and said nothing. When they came to the door of the store, the shopkeeper said.

"Master Li, be sure to send someone to protect your family tonight and don't go out."

"Ah, you too!"

The two of them nodded in understanding. The shopkeeper returned to the counter to calculate the accounts, and Magistrate Li left with the officials outside.

Shitou pulled Qin Yue up: "Daughter-in-law, would you like to rest for a while?"

Qin Yue came to the window, looked at the street below and said: "Don't look at chaos here, but it is also a place where wealth accumulates. If you take what is taken from the people, you will naturally spit it back."

"My wife wants to do it tonight?"

"Yes, it's a dark and windy night for killing people. During the day, the killings are too bloody for fear of scaring the people."

"Isn't this the time to establish your authority?"

Qin Yue looked at the stone: "How about starting from now?"

"Hey, I'm just talking, my husband wants to see the bad guys die sooner." (End of Chapter)
