She was replaced by a husband, married the future tyrant and farmed to fight back

Chapter 170 Why is Madam Ying acting more and more like a man?
Liu Yingyue's eyes flickered slightly. County Magistrate Zhou had finished the trial so quickly?

She pressed Qin Yiran's arm, walked outside and said to the waiter, "Please tell the waiter that we will be here soon."

After the waiter left, Liu Yingyue thought about it and decided to tell Qin Yiran what had just happened.

Qin Yiran narrowed his eyes, his face looked unhappy, "Have you been to Qianhonglou?"

Liu Yingyue looked a little embarrassed. "When I was shopping, I heard from the shop owner that the county magistrate's third son stayed in Qianhonglou almost all day, and Xu Sanlang had a feud with County Magistrate Zhou. So Hongzhu and I dressed up as men to find out what was going on. After we found that Xu Sanlang was indeed in Qianhonglou, I asked Hongzhu to find County Magistrate Zhou to arrest Xu Sanlang."

"What's the grudge between them?" Qin Yiran's eyes narrowed slightly.

"I heard that Magistrate Xu's family embezzled a lot of taxes and grain, and the higher-ups came to check the accounts at the end of the year. They were worried that they would be held responsible if they were found out, so they wanted to let County Magistrate Zhou, who was in charge of the accounts, take the responsibility. County Magistrate Zhou is the son-in-law of Mr. Liu, and Mr. Liu has done us a favor, so of course I have to help County Magistrate Zhou."

In Qin Yiran's heart, he looked at Liu Yingyue with new respect again.

She even knew about County Magistrate Xu's family?
He had just gone out with the intention of capturing Xu Sanlang to intimidate Magistrate Xu. Magistrate Xu would be a stumbling block on his way to success in the future, and he had to get rid of him.

But the person was not caught.

And he discovered that the Xu family was also looking for Xu Sanlang.

But what no one expected was that Liu Yingyue had caught the person in advance.

"I wonder what County Magistrate Zhou will say when he comes. Let's go and meet him together." Qin Yiran said.

"it is good."

The two of them went to the first floor together. County Magistrate Zhou saw Liu Yingyue and Qin Yiran, who were dressed as women, walking together and secretly admired them, saying that they were a perfect match.

"Lord Zhou." The two of them saluted together.

"Come this way, both of you." County Magistrate Zhou nodded at the two men and took them into a room in the inn.

Liu Yingyue anticipated what County Magistrate Zhou was going to say, and sat there with a calm expression.

Qin Yiran did not hear about the conspiracy between Xu Sanlang and the other man. He asked Zhou Xiancheng in confusion, "What does the lord want to see my husband and me about?"

"I would like to ask you two for help, are you willing?" County Magistrate Zhou looked at the two of them.

Liu Yingyue curled her lips slightly, and County Magistrate Zhou finally started talking.

Qin Yiran nodded, "I wonder what Lord Zhou is talking about? If I can help, I will definitely help."

"Tomorrow, the governor of the prefectural government will come to inspect the tax grain. I hope you will report the corruption of the county magistrate and recommend me as the acting county magistrate."

Qin Yiran narrowed his eyes and asked, "Master Zhou, do you have evidence against the county magistrate?"

"Of course! This matter is also thanks to the help of Madam Ying." County Magistrate Zhou nodded to Liu Yingyue.

Liu Yingyue smiled, "After all, we are all family. Helping County Magistrate Zhou is also helping ourselves."

County Magistrate Zhou didn't understand, "Madam Ying, I didn't understand what you said for the moment."

"We are short of money. We recently ordered a batch of goods, which have not been sold yet, but the payment has to be made. Can Lord Zhou help us find a lender?" Liu Yingyue said.

Qin Yiran looked at her. How dare she boldly put forward conditions to County Magistrate Zhou?
However, County Magistrate Zhou answered readily, "As long as it can be done, it is not difficult."

Liu Yingyue looked at Qin Yiran and said, "My husband, what do you mean?"

Qin Yiran glanced at her, nodded and said, "Thank you, County Magistrate Zhou."
-
At the invitation of County Magistrate Zhou, Liu Yingyue and Qin Yiran are going to meet the prefect tomorrow, so they stay in the inn.

The next morning, Qin Yiran got up early. After arranging Hongzhu to call the waiter to bring breakfast, he said to Liu Yingyue, "Yingyue, you don't have to go. I'll go."

Liu Yingyue drank the porridge and said, "We agreed to go together, why did you leave me behind?" But Qin Yiran insisted that Liu Yingyue stay in the inn.

He held Liu Yingyue's shoulders and said, "What happened today is not as simple as you think. If you just go and file a complaint, you may end up in a bloody disaster."

Hongzhu, who was pouring tea at the side, was shocked, "Ah? It's so dangerous? Madam Ying, don't go."

"Then why are you still going?" Liu Yingyue pulled Qin Yiran.

"I am a man and you are a woman. Of course it is better for me to go to dangerous places. Please stop arguing." Qin Yiran pressed Liu Yingyue on the chair, and told Hongzhu to keep an eye on Liu Yingyue and not to run around, otherwise he would hold Hongzhu accountable.

Hongzhu was so scared that she nodded quickly, "I understand, Mr. Dalang."

"I was the one who found County Magistrate Zhou, so it's my turn to go." Liu Yingyue insisted.

"Yingyue!" Qin Yiran held Liu Yingyue's shoulders, his face solemn, "I received news that someone will assassinate the county magistrate. If you go there and get involved in the assassination, how can I save you?"

Liu Yingyue looked into his eyes, "Yiran, you are worried about me, right?"

"What do you think?" Qin Yiran said in a deep voice, "You are not allowed to go anywhere. Just stay here. I will be back in the evening."

Liu Yingyue recalled the plot. When County Magistrate Zhou was framed by County Magistrate Xu, he just wanted to overthrow County Magistrate Xu, but he did not dare to kill anyone.

But now, Qin Yiran said that someone was trying to assassinate County Magistrate Xu.

Who is that person?

How dare you be so brave?
Qin Yiran repeatedly told her not to go out. Liu Yingyue didn't want him to worry about her too much, so she nodded and said, "Okay, I won't go out and will wait for you in the inn. But you have to be careful too."

She grabbed Qin Yiran's arm.

Qin Yiran glanced at her, then turned and left.

Hongzhu saw him walking downstairs, then she closed the door and patted her chest and said, "Madam Ying, is the eldest son in danger?"

"No." Liu Yingyue said calmly.

She looked out the window and thought to herself that she couldn't wait in the inn, she had to meet the man who dared to assassinate the county magistrate.
-
Guessing that Qin Yiran had gone far away, Liu Yingyue told Hongzhu that she wanted to go out for a walk, and asked Hongzhu to watch the luggage in the inn, eat some snacks and rest.

Hongzhu was shocked and waved her hands hurriedly, saying, "Madam Ying, this won't work. What if Dalangjun finds out that you've gone out? What will you do?"

"If you don't tell him, how would he know? He said he would be back in the evening. I'm just going out for a walk to meet a friend. I'll be back in an hour or two."

Hongzhu still waved her hand in disagreement.

Liu Yingyue smiled and pressed Hongzhu down on the chair, "Be good and listen, I'll bring you something delicious later."

Hongzhu was about to cry, "Madam Ying."

"If you don't listen, I will tie you up. Do you choose to stay in the room freely, or do you want to be tied to a chair and sit for two hours? Anyway, you can't beat me. If you don't believe me, just try it." Liu Yingyue pressed Hongzhu's shoulders and gradually exerted force with her hands.

Hongzhu twisted her body and found that she couldn't move.

She had a sad face, "Madam Ying..."

Liu Yingyue walked to the closet, took out the men's shirt she bought yesterday and put it on, then pulled out a dagger from her bag and tied it to her leg.

She patted her sleeves and nodded to Hongzhu, "I'm going out."

Hongzhu looked at her in surprise. Why was Madam Ying acting more and more like a man?
