Before confiscating the house and going into exile, he emptied the enemy's warehouses and fled.

Magistrate Hua County received the letter and was shocked after reading it. When he looked for the child again, he had already gone far away.

He immediately shouted to the government officer: "Quickly, stop that woman. You must not let them run away."

Zhou Qi asked in a hoarse voice: "What's the matter again?"

"They are spies!" Magistrate Hua County's eyes were split, "She wants to destroy our Jingshan County."

***
Jingshan County was originally poor, but this time it was the hardest hit area. The hot wind blew through and it was desolate.

A vegetable vendor on the street? No!

restaurant? close the door!
When locusts pass through the border, not a single blade of grass grows, and all the plants are eaten away. There is nowhere to eat!
On the county government's notice wall, a notice was blown by the wind: Anyone who can donate 10,000 kilograms of vegetables can be a Qiangfu.

The yamen servants worked in teams of two, carrying a large gong, banging it as they walked, and shouting: "Those who donate food and materials should report to the imperial court for commendation, so as to benefit their descendants."

Xie Yanyan asked Zhou Shaoyu: "Is there anything special in Jingshan County?"

Zhou Shaoyu asked her what she wanted in particular?

"For example, animals, plants, etc., other inheritance types are also acceptable."

"Paper cutting?"

"No."

"There seems to be nothing unusual about anything else... Just wait, I'll go out and find someone to inquire." Zhou Shaoyu was really not familiar with this place.

When Zhou Shaoyu came back, she had already put the food on the table.

Steamed anchovies, crabmeal tofu, stir-fried wild river shrimp, crispy hand-shredded pigeon, lotus pond moonlight, stir-fried seasonal vegetables, plus a cup of chicken soup and a bowl of rice.

Zhou Shaoyu was stunned: "You did it all?"

"Ah."

"Where did you get the ingredients?" Zhou Shaoyu finally couldn't help but ask softly, "It's hard to buy these things on the street now."

Xie Yanyan looked at him indifferently for more than ten seconds without saying anything.

Zhou Shaoyu's Adam's apple rolled up and down, raised his hands, and admitted defeat: "I was wrong!"

[Is she angry? I will never ask her again]

Xie Yanyan: "I will tell you later."

"Okay." Zhou Shaoyu became happy and breathed a sigh of relief.

As long as it's her, everything is fine. Whatever she did was right.

"Do you want a drink?"

"Is there wine?"

"Ah."

"Then let me try it!"

Xie Yanyan took out another bottle of Fenjiu, which was still an unmarked glass bottle with a metal cap.

At the end of the meal, Zhou Shaoyu looked at the almost empty food on the table and said in surprise: "We both ate it all."

"If you want to eat, I will cook it for you tomorrow." #cheatingzuo#
"it is good."

After eating, Zhou Shaoyu told her the news he had heard from outside: "It is said that there is a Qilin auspicious beast here."

Are there unicorns among the people? So, there is no culture in lying?

"Hunters have caught a few of them, and some of them are kept in the homes of local tycoons." Zhou Shaoyu said, "By the way, do you know who the old man who was half angry to death today is, the third elder in the county?"

Xie Yanyan looked at him.

Zhou Shaoyu said: "He is the grandfather of the kid captured by Daochang Liu."

Xie Yanyan was also surprised: "What a coincidence!"

Then ask him to do something~
Taking advantage of the moonlit night, the two knocked on the door of Zhou Qi's house. "Mr. Zhou, I am Zhou Jingchen, the prince of Nanhai Prince, and this is my friend." Zhou Shaoyu has always been informal. He inquired and found out that Zhou Qi is a highly respected and upright person.

Zhou Qi was still a little confused. Why did Prince Nanhai come to his house in the middle of the night?
"Has your grandson been captured by Daochang Liu who is pretending to be a ghost?" Zhou Shaoyu said, "If Daochang Liu is beaten to death, all the demons will be punished."

Zhou Qi: So, do you need to tell me about this in the middle of the night?

Xie Yanyan: "Your grandson was saved by Prince Zhou."

Zhou Shaoyu: "She discovered the clue first."

When Zhou Qi heard this, he realized that it was his benefactor who came to visit him.

"My benefactor," he said with tears streaming down his face, "I was originally going to lead the whole family to Chang'an to thank him. It was the woman from Prince Xi's palace who told me that the prince and his party had returned to Beijing."

Zhou Qi immediately asked the whole family to kneel down and thank Zhou Shaoyu and Xie Yanyan.

Zhou Shaoyu stopped him: "Mr. Zhou, we are not seeking repayment for our kindness. We have a big matter to discuss with you."

Zhou Qi was old, but not confused, and said hesitantly: "Your Majesty, if it is harmful to the people, I cannot agree to it."

"Don't worry, it will be of no harm to the people."

Zhou Qi then dismissed everyone, and the three of them entered Zhou Qi's study and told his family not to come near.

"Your Majesty, please speak." Zhou Qi sat upright, looking humble and humble.

Zhou Shaoyu said that he and Xie Yanyan were concerned about the locust plague in the northwest and came all the way from the south to provide disaster relief...

After listening to this, Zhou Qi realized that this massive locust plague that harmed three countries was finally eliminated by Xie Yanyan.

He bowed deeply to Xie Yanyan with great respect: "Thank you, Miss Xie, for saving the people in the northwest."

"Mr. Zhou, you don't have to be polite. Disaster relief is a thing of the past. The most urgent thing now is to resume production. To be honest, Mr. Zhou, we came to you because we want to continue to help the people."

She said that she and Prince Zhou had food and vegetables, but they did not dare to carry out large-scale disaster relief for fear of fear from the superiors.

Zhou Qi, a mature man, immediately understood why these two people did not provide disaster relief through the government, but turned to him, a spokesperson for the people who was not an official.

He knelt down and kowtowed to the two of them excitedly. Zhou Shaoyu pulled Xie Yanyan and accepted his bow An Ran.

"Mr. Zhou, just tell the county magistrate or the people that there is a wealthy businessman in Yangzhou who has taken a fancy to your four-faced beast and is willing to exchange it for grain and vegetables." Or 5000 stone seeds."

She never does anything in vain, nor does she make others think she is giving away a favor.

Zhou Qi was so excited that he immediately said, "Miss Xie, I have one at home."

"Then you will announce in public tomorrow that you will donate this animal. The food will also be delivered on the same day, so that everyone can see that it is no longer a lie."

After telling Zhou Qi that the wealthy businessman did not want to reveal his name, the Qilin beast could be exchanged for grain, not just in Jingshan County, but in any county.

Zhou Qi's family has an abandoned horse farm with high walls, which is very suitable for cheating.

We made an appointment to trade at the racecourse. We would trade at six o'clock every day and close at noon. If we didn't finish the trade, we would trade at six o'clock the next day.

(Xie Yanyan: I rack my brains every day to cover up, I’m tired!)

Time is only given for 5 days, and the "rich businessman" cannot stay here forever.

It was agreed that when the two came out, they didn't ask Zhou Qi to send them off, not wanting to alarm others.

Zhou Qi was extremely excited, but did not dare to show off, and kept sending them out. They walked away, and he knelt behind and kowtowed three times.

"Since Xie Xiangxiang and the guards of Prince Xi's Mansion have been caught, let's go meet them?" Although it was getting late, Xie Yanyan wanted to talk to Xie Xiangxiang about something.

"Okay, I heard they are in jail. Let's go find them in the jail."

"Then let's put on makeup."

Back at the inn, Xie Yanyan put on makeup for himself and Zhou Shaoyu under the light.

Zhou Shaoyu looked curiously at Xie Yanyan's dark face and dark clothes, and then at his own pale face, wondering what else he didn't understand.

Isn’t this the black and white and impermanence of the underworld?
