63 Reporting to the Authorities

Jian Qingqing nodded. “I know, Uncle Zhang, but it’s not that they will let me go if I give in. People like them never take human lives seriously. If I don’t do anything, they will find fault with me. And I’m not blindly impulsive. The new County Magistrate is an extremely decent person. He won’t ignore these matters. I’m sorry, Uncle Zhang. I’ve implicated you.”

Manager Zhang sighed. “Sigh, it’s good that you know what to do. I’m fine. I’m from Bull City. A small butler like him can’t do anything to me. Then I’ll leave first. You have to take care of your own safety.”

Jian Qingqing nodded obediently. “Okay, goodbye, Uncle Zhang.”

After watching Manager Zhang leave, Jian Qingqing was silent for a moment. She said to Uncle Ox, who was worried about her, “Uncle, please find a food stall and wait for me. I’ll go to the county office to look for the officials.”

Uncle Ox looked at her worriedly. “Is that okay? Aren’t those bailiffs in cahoots with those landlords?”

He had never seen any bailiffs who would care about these things. Many commoners were unwilling to look for bailiffs even if they had nowhere else to go. Sometimes, if they did not look for bailiffs, there was still a way to survive. If they looked for bailiffs, there would be nothing left.

Jian Qingqing comforted him. “The situation now is different from before. This County Magistrate is a good person. I know him. He will help me.”

Although Uncle Ox did not know how she knew a County Magistrate, he was still relieved. “That’s fine. I will wait for you at the tea shop in front. I will take good care of your cow. Don’t worry.”

“Thank you, Uncle.”

…

When Jian Qingqing arrived at the county office, the officer on duty at the door recognized her.

One of them went in to report, and the other went up to greet her with a smile. “Miss Jian, why are you here?”

Jian Qingqing smiled and said, “I’m here to report to the officials.”

The official was stunned for a moment and then said, “Oh, oh. Then, then you come with me.”

The official led the way in front and was amazed. This Miss Jian was really different from ordinary people. Other people would only hide from the officials, but she came to report to the officials if she had something to do.

He brought Jian Qingqing to the office of the County Magistrate, Ming Zhiyan was already waiting there.

Seeing that she had arrived, he looked up at her, stood up, and said, “What’s wrong? Did something happen?”

Jian Qingqing told him everything that had happened in the cattle market.

Ming Zhiyan did not have any expression after listening to her, it was impossible to tell whether he was happy or angry. He pondered for a moment and said, “Don’t worry. I will take care of this matter. I won’t let anything happen to you.”

Jian Qingqing knew that she could rest assured of his character. The corners of her mouth curled up into a brilliant smile. “Thank you. Sorry for the trouble.”

Ming Zhiyan replied, “Mm, it’s fine. This is what I should do.”

After saying this, Jian Qingqing also felt relieved. She left the county office and returned home.

After Jian Qingqing left, Ming Zhiyan’s face darkened. He said coldly, “Move faster. The Huang family must die tomorrow!”

Wang Li replied firmly, “Yes!”

The Huang family was the family of a concubine of Prefect Song. Song Yuancheng’s ordinary wealth was managed by the Huang family. They were also acting arrogantly in Shifeng County.

Not a single member of their family was clean. Ming Zhiyan planned to get rid of them on the first day he came here and cut off one of Song Yuancheng’s arms. They had done enough to lay the groundwork. The Huang family was going to be destroyed sooner or later.

However, they had made a move on Jian Qingqing, they had only sped up their death.

Wang Li knew that his Master was very concerned about Jian Qingqing. However, she had saved his Master’s life before, so Wang Li was also very concerned about Jian Qingqing.
