I opened a treasure chest on the road to escape

"Noble?"

"How expensive is it?"

Magistrate Guo couldn't help but raise his eyebrows, obviously not believing it.

"Don't worry, as long as you are in Dongqiu County, I can protect you."

"What if that noble person reports to the court?"

Chen Chuxue had to bite the bullet and lie, but the implication was that he was not worried and Yan Guan would scold him to death.

"Don't worry." County Magistrate Guo curled his lips and said indifferently, "You can only treat me as the Prime Minister and Assistant Zhao. He is my mentor."

Chen Chuxue naturally didn't believe it. Basically, people who had participated in the imperial examination would call the examiner at that time their mentor.

So, now the two are bragging to each other to see who can brag the other.

"That noble man's surname is Li..."

What does Zaifu mean? After all, there is an emperor above him.

County Magistrate Guo looked a little ugly when he heard Chen Chuxue's words. This Li is the emperor's surname, and his current majesty is Li.

But he didn't think that Chen Chuxue could know the current emperor. After all, although she looked in her thirties or forties, he didn't think she was that old. She might be younger.

Moreover, given the emperor's character, he would probably trust the grey-bearded imperial physician.

Furthermore, she said that she was in Jiangnan in the past, so how could the emperor be in Jiangnan now.

With the surname Li, they can only be those princes.

Jiangnan, could it be the King of Chu?

But the King of Chu has never heard of being sick?

"Do you have evidence?" Magistrate Guo suddenly thought of something and stared at Chen Chuxue with squinted eyes.

Chen Chuxue was speechless for a moment. She didn't expect the evidence. After all, she was just fooling around.

I didn’t expect Magistrate Guo to be so difficult to fool.

Seeing Chen Chuxue not speaking, Magistrate Guo sneered in his heart, he was indeed deceiving himself.

"This is something I have promised you before." Chen Chuxue shook her head and said, "Besides, if I just take a piece of paper and write words on it, saying it is your handwriting, will Master Guo be able to tell the truth from the false?"

County Magistrate Guo was immediately speechless. This was true. If Chen Chuxue was lying, he wouldn't be able to recognize it.

However, he was not deceived, "Let's do this, Dr. Chen tells me the identity of the nobleman, and I will send someone to Jiangnan to talk to the nobleman and inform him that because of the victims of the uprising, Dr. Chen cannot go there in time. I believe that the nobleman will also Understand..."

Old fox.

Chen Chuxue narrowed her eyes. As expected of someone who has been able to stay in the officialdom for a long time, I have to say that he is too cunning.

"So, Mr. Guo doesn't want me to leave the county?" Chen Chuxue didn't want to make excuses with him. After all, it was hard for him, an old fox, to fool him.

"Doctor Chen is joking, I just don't want anything to happen to Dr. Chen." Magistrate Guo naturally did not admit it, but said it was for her sake.

"Didn't Mr. Guo say that you can make demands after curing your daughter?" She narrowed her eyes and said impatiently.

"I said, only do things within your ability." Magistrate Guo said with a smile.

"The imperial court never said it would close the city!" Chen Chuxue said coldly, "And we have a free choice to leave the city. Besides, just letting a few people go out of the city, isn't it beyond the power of Mr. Guo as the county magistrate?"

The smile on Magistrate Guo's face faded, as if he didn't want to talk anymore, "For the sake of curing my daughter, I will give you another chance and make another request."

“Then let’s lift the lockdown!”

"you……"

County Magistrate Guo almost accidentally bit off his own tongue. This man really hit the snake and followed the stick.

"Okay, you can leave after receiving the reward."

Obviously, he didn't want to waste time or let Chen Chuxue make any more demands, so he sent him away directly.

Soon, the butler and servants came in from outside.

Chen Chuxue was considering whether to hold County Magistrate Guo hostage to blackmail him.

After thinking about it for a while, she gave up. Seeing her servant coming forward to let her leave, Chen Chuxue narrowed her eyes. "Master Guo, I heard you are looking for someone! Unfortunately, I happen to know where he is hiding?"

County Magistrate Guo ignored it. He thought Chen Chuxue was talking about the person Lu Shan was looking for, and he was not really helping Lu Shan find someone.

Seeing that Magistrate Guo didn't respond, Chen Chuxue said a name.

"Lu Shan!"

"What did you say?"

County Magistrate Guo seemed to be stunned when he heard the unbelievable words, and then reacted and almost roared.

Chen Chuxue did not answer. She looked at the servants next to her. Magistrate Guo had a gloomy look on her face and waved her hand for them to go down.

After the servants left, he couldn't wait to look at Chen Chuxue, "I didn't hear clearly what you just said."

In fact, how could he not hear clearly? After all, he was not Alzheimer's, he just wanted to confirm again.

"I know you want to find that Lu Shan!"

Chen Chuxue looked at him with a half-smile, "You don't have to deny it, I actually spoke, so I'm sure of it."

Upon hearing this, County Magistrate Guo suddenly turned gloomy and asked, "Who are you?"

He was full of doubts in his heart, why did Chen Chuxue know what he wanted to do? Could it have been leaked by his bastard subordinates?

"Do you have a grudge against Lu Shan?" Magistrate Guo suddenly felt something in his heart and asked again, "Or maybe you are the person he is looking for?"

But when he looked at Chen Chuxue, he didn't look like the person in the painting.

Chen Chuxue had no expression on her face and interrupted him, "You don't have to guess. To tell you the truth, I only knew about this by accident."

"what do you want?"

Magistrate Guo said gloomily.

"The third house in the north of the city..."

Hearing Chen Chuxue's sudden and incomprehensible words, County Magistrate Guo was stunned for a moment, and then heard her next words.

"You can send someone to see Lu Shan's hiding place."

Magistrate Guo turned around and came to the door, called a few servants, gave him a few instructions in a low voice, and then he ran away.

Chen Chuxue turned around and sat on the chair, waiting.

When Magistrate Guo saw her calm look, his face became even more ugly, because the initiative at this time was no longer in his hands.

"Who are you? What do you want to do?"

He was restless now. Chen Chuxue actually found Lu Shan. Did he also know his secret?

Did she and Lu Shan go their separate ways for some reason?

Or maybe they have a grudge to begin with?

"I'm just an ordinary doctor." Chen Chuxue shrugged helplessly, "Isn't it what I want to do? Is it what you want to do?"

If he hadn't regretted it, there wouldn't have been so many things.

Chen Chuxue was drinking tea from a cup while Magistrate Guo was walking around uneasily.

Not long after, a servant ran back, holding a piece of clothing in one hand and shredded paper in the other hand and handed it to Magistrate Guo.

"Sir, there is indeed someone living there, but it seems that he ran away before we went there, leaving only a piece of clothing and this piece of paper..."

County Magistrate Guo's pupils shrank when he saw the clothes. Those were the clothes Lu Shan wore last time he came to see him.

As for the shredded paper, he picked it up and looked at it, and could vaguely see Guo Pu written on it, which was his name.

There is also money and date written on the back, but the date cannot be seen clearly, only the day of Xu can be seen.

Although it seems a little inexplicable, County Magistrate Guo is very smart. Others will not think too much about it, but it is impossible for him not to think too much about it.

After all, there is his name, the money, and the date. Isn't that evidence that he embezzled in a certain year and month?
