In a chaotic and famine-stricken era, I picked up an empress to be my wife.

Liao Bing was somewhat embarrassed.

But since Shen An asked this question, he still had to answer according to the actual situation.

After hearing this, Shen An was speechless.

This woman's name is Bai Moli.

At first, he wanted to use violence, but then he thought that using violence would be telling Feng Zihuan that there was something fishy going on here.

After much deliberation, he concluded that he was a real man and that it would be easy for him to manipulate mere courtesans.

He then wanted to use his masculinity to conquer her!

But he never expected this!

Bai Moli was different from other women; her skills were top-notch, and her needs far exceeded expectations. She quickly made him feel weak.

"My lord, what should we do now? I really have no way to deal with this woman!" Liao Bing said with difficulty, "Should I find some powerful men to conquer her? I can sense that although this woman seems strong, if she has a man who can conquer her, she will be as obedient as a little lamb and will be willing to obey everything."

"Women are emotional creatures. If they fall in love with a man, they will indeed be devoted to him without hesitation. But do we have such men in our lives?" Shen An asked rhetorically.

"My lord, aren't you one? Although you're a bit thin, I've seen your abilities with my own eyes. Conquering her is a piece of cake for you, isn't it?" Liao Bing said with a wicked smile.

Shen An's face darkened. He had no interest in selling his body: "Forget about me. I'm so skinny, I'm probably not her type."

"What should we do then? With that woman around, none of us brothers can train with those new weapons." Liao Bing scratched his head, then his eyes turned cold: "Should we kill her?"

"They report to Feng Zihuan at least once every three days. If we kill her, Feng Zihuan and Li Huaiyi will immediately focus their attention on the military camp, which will force us to rebel in advance."

"With our current capabilities, we are far from being able to resist them or confront them head-on." Shen An thought for a moment, then said, "At present, finding a man to conquer her is indeed a solution. You stay with her for a few more days, and I'll try to find such a man!"

After they finished speaking, they pretended to drink and called Xiao Yan'er over to drink with them.

It wasn't until Bai Moli returned that Shen An pretended to be drunk and was helped by Xiao Yan'er to the carriage.

After leaving the military camp, Shen An asked Xiao Yan'er, "You're a woman, you should understand women better. Do you know how to conquer a woman? This woman's needs in that area are far beyond what ordinary people desire. Wouldn't it be better to find a strong, muscular man?"

Xiao Yan'er shook her head vigorously, like a rattle-drum.

"What? Am I wrong?"

"Of course not. Although I don't know Bai Moli well, I can tell from what you've said that she's a promiscuous woman. But the more promiscuous a woman is, the emptier she is inside. She can't find a man to fill her heart, so she puts her empty heart into those kinds of things," Xiao Yan'er said.

Shen An thought there was some truth to that and continued, "Then what kind of man do you think she would like?"

"She probably doesn't like soldiers, otherwise she would have been won over by General Liao long ago. She probably prefers men with literary talent," Xiao Yan'er replied after thinking for a moment.

"A man with literary talent? Are you sure?"

"Absolutely! Let's not talk about her. What woman in the world doesn't like a man with literary talent?" A tender look appeared in Xiao Yan'er's eyes: "My husband is exceptionally talented in literature, and we met through our shared love of literature and secretly pledged our lives to each other."

Shen An suddenly thought of Luo Li.

She seemed to quite like his writing skills.

It seems that without the rich and varied entertainment of modern times, this talented scholar might have been even more popular than a modern celebrity.

If that's the case, then this matter is easy to handle.

After returning home, Shen An wrote nearly a hundred poems, all by famous poets, and all of them were love poems.

The next day, under the pretext of drinking again, he found Liao Bing.

Make him memorize all these poems, he must memorize them perfectly, and then find an opportunity to recite them to Bai Moli.

She asked who wrote the poems, and I said he did.

Liao Bing was overjoyed and immediately did as Shen An instructed.

After doing all this, Shen An returned to the county town. As the county constable, his first task was to have Shen Xiaoqi take over his previous position as head constable.

After learning all this, Feng Zihuan did not object. In his view, Shen An was a tool to check and balance Liu Wenyuan.

The more Shen An vies for power, the better!

However, there was something strange about Feng Zihuan: the Qingyang County government was actually collecting hair.

In the major cities of Daliang, it is true that some people wear wigs, but it is hard to believe that a county magistrate would take the lead in buying up hair. He always felt that there was something wrong with it.

To find out the truth, he sent people to analyze Xiao Yan'er and the others to clarify the matter.

Xiao Yan'er immediately informed Shen An of the news.

Before Feng Zihuan arrived, Shen An and the others had already prepared their explanation. Their purpose was simply to show that there were no corrupt officials in the county government and to subsidize the government by making a profit from selling hair. The reason they chose hair was because there were very few sellers, so the county government would not have to pay much, and the people would think they were honest and upright.

When Feng Zihuan received this news, he did not believe it.

This reason is indeed very good; there's no flaw in it!

But he still felt there was a problem and continued to have people investigate.

Seeing that this guy was still chasing after him, Shen An didn't try to hide anything. Now the place where he made dead people's hair was separated from the county town, and the delivery location was also far away from the county town.

It would be very difficult to find Feng Zihuan.

Shen An's biggest concern right now is whether Liao Bing succeeded or not.

Two days passed in the blink of an eye.

Shen An had just checked on Yang Tiejun and the others from the valley where Black Dragon Village was located, and was now resting in a chair.

Then there was a knock on the door.

The voice was hurried, as if something urgent had happened.

Shen An gestured for Xiao Yan'er to open the door.

A moment later, Xiao Yan'er was followed in by a graceful woman.

It was Bai Moli, whom Feng Zihuan had planted next to Liao Bing.

Shen An was somewhat surprised. What was she doing here?

He didn't get up, but lay back in the chair, saying in a teasing voice, "Oh, isn't this Miss Bai? What brings you to this county magistrate's residence?"

At this moment, Bai Moli was looking at Shen An with red eyes.

Shen An raised an eyebrow, sensing that something was off about Bai Moli.

"Sister Bai, what's wrong?" Xiao Yan'er asked.

Bai Moli gently pushed Xiao Yan'er away and walked to Shen An's side: "You, you, you..."

"Speak quickly!" Shen Anke wasn't going to mince words with her.

Bai Moli took a deep breath: "Did you give Liao Bing those poems?"

Shen An immediately realized that Liao Bing had been exposed.

"What poems?" Shen An asked, feigning confusion.

"County Commandant Shen, stop pretending. I know that those timeless masterpieces of Liao Bing were all given to me by you!" Bai Moli said with great certainty.

"What poem? Miss Bai, are you perhaps mistaken?"

"County Commandant Shen, I've heard of you before. I heard that a talented scholar named Shen An came from Yangnan Prefecture! Now that I think about it, it must be you."

"Besides you, no one else could give Liao Bing so many poems that have reached the level of being passed down through the ages!" Bai Moli's tone was even more certain.

Shen An was even more surprised. Was his name really that famous?

Xiao Yan'er also covered her mouth.

She had heard Shen An's poems before, but when she heard that he was from Qingping County, she thought that the Shen An in front of her was just someone who shared the same name as that talented man.

But thinking back to the time Shen An asked her about the talented scholar a few days ago, and how that rough man Liao Bing could now produce such timeless masterpieces.

She could then connect the dots and realize that the renowned scholar was none other than Shen An standing before her!

"Look, even Xiao Yan'er is surprised. That talented man must be you, and Liao Bing's poems must also be from you!" Bai Moli said again.

Shen An still refused to admit it: "That's because General Liao is talented; what does it have to do with me?"

"County Commandant Shen, stop pretending. Miss Luo Li has already made your name known far and wide!" Bai Moli added, "Besides, that Liao Bing is just a roughneck. He can't even recite poetry properly, and he even mispronounces the words. Someone else must have given it to him."

After saying this, Bai Moli pleaded, "County Commandant Shen, I beg you! As long as you admit to everything, I'll do whatever you ask. If I break my vow, may I be struck by lightning and die a horrible death!"

Shen An needs to rethink things.

Why was Bai Moli so eager for him to admit it?

And you even swore a solemn oath?
