Chapter 110: Never thought I’d see you here again.
Chapter 110
Thinking of this, He Zhiran took out a dagger from her interspatial ring and directly cut off Sun Lin\'s tongue and hands.
She wanted to see how a disabled and mute person could still be an official.
As for Sun Jiabao, who bullied men and overpowered women, and did all kinds of evil, she would make him an idiot for the rest of his life.
He Zhiran took out her self-made poison "Loss of Spirit" from her interspatial ring again.
By adding one more ingredient to Loss of Spirit, Sun Jiabao would become an idiot for the rest of his life.
Sun Jiabao was currently unconscious. He Zhiran directly injected the temporarily prepared medicine into his body using a syringe.
After settling everything, He Zhiran unknowingly left this place and went to the location she had observed that was likely the storehouse.
She was lucky. The observed location turned out to be the storehouse of the county magistrate\'s residence.
There were two guards in front of the storehouse door. He Zhiran carefully circled behind them and nimbly hit the back of their necks.
Seeing that the two guards had fainted dead away, He Zhiran quickly entered the storehouse.
It had to be said, the family fortune of a corrupt official was abundant.
The not very large storehouse was filled with gold, silver, pearls and jewels, silks and satins, calligraphy and paintings, and some jade articles.
Many large items she had taken from the national treasury were already hanging in her online store. This freed up a lot of space in her interspatial ring.
He Zhiran eyed everything. With a wave of her hand, she took away all the items that could completely fit in her interspatial ring.
Mo Jiuye couldn’t sleep at all in the interspatial ring. After He Zhiran left, he came out of the bedroom.
Just as he was somewhat worried about He Zhiran, a pile of things suddenly appeared in front of him, almost hitting him...
Without thinking, seeing so many valuables, Mo Jiuye knew clearly that He Zhiran had succeeded. He only hoped that she would not be too greedy and would pay more attention to her own safety and come back sooner.
After finishing what needed to be done, He Zhiran did not plan to stay any longer.
She left the county magistrate\'s residence, ran to a secluded place, and flashed into the interspatial ring.
Seeing her return safe and sound, Mo Jiuye finally felt relieved.
Having just punished the corrupt magistrate and his son, He Zhiran felt a little excited at the moment.
"That dog of a magistrate was quite rich. With just a small effort from me, I got such gains."
When those valuables were moved into the interspatial ring, Mo Jiuye had already checked them.
There were at least 150,000 taels of silver bills and silver alone.
What\'s more, there were also several large boxes of copper coins. Needless to say, these copper coins were all the entrance fees collected from the commoners at the city gate.
For a small county magistrate to have such wealth, it was imaginable how much hard-earned money he had exploited from the common people...
Mo Jiuye stared at the valuables in front of him: "What do you plan to do with these?"
He Zhiran glanced around. The space she had finally cleared out was filled up again, and even more so.
"I plan to sell all these bulky items in the trading system, and as for the silver, I hope I can find a way to return it to the commoners of Pingyang County."
Mo Jiuye also agreed with this.
He pondered for a moment and said,
"It\'s a good idea to want to return the silver to the commoners, but our time simply does not allow us to do these things."
He Zhiran was also at a loss. She certainly could not deliver the silver to every household. Not to mention the risk of being easily discovered, it was indeed impossible to accomplish within the time constraints, just as Mo Jiuye had said.
"Let\'s put this plan on hold for now. When I go out to hire a carriage tomorrow, I’ll ask around again to see if there is a good way to do it."
He Zhiran had travelled all day and dealt with the dog magistrate at night. At this moment, she was indeed a little tired.
After chatting with Mo Jiuye for a few sentences, the two went back to the bedroom to rest.
Early next morning, He Zhiran went out again in men’s clothing.
The place she appeared was only one street away from the county magistrate\'s residence.
He Zhiran walked slowly towards the main street. Her foremost goal was to hire a carriage.
The street was especially bustling today. The commoners had already learned about what happened to the county magistrate\'s family. Knowing that a disabled mute would no longer be able to be an official in the future, they dared to speak more openly.
Most of their discussion topics were about the county magistrate’s storehouse being emptied and the county magistrate changed into a mute unable to speak and his son who bullied men and overpowered women becoming an idiot.
This matter was extremely gratifying for the commoners.
There were even some daring people who planned to go to the county magistrate\'s residence in groups to watch the fun.
Those commoners who had been oppressed by the county magistrate and his son, cried and cursed the wrongdoings they had suffered through tears and mucus.
He Zhiran only casually observed these scenes as she passed by.
After finding out the location of the carriage shop, she quickened her pace.
Unexpectedly, as soon as she turned into another street, He Zhiran spotted a familiar person with her discerning eyes.
This familiar person was Fei Nanyu.
Fei Nanyu was walking hurriedly with another person who looked like his attendant. They seemed to have some urgent matters to deal with.
Seeing Fei Nanyu, He Zhiran immediately thought of something.
She waved at Fei Nanyu.
Fei Nanyu only glanced casually at her before turning his head to continue on his way.
Seeing that she was ignored, He Zhiran subconsciously lowered her head to glance at the men\'s clothing she was wearing, before suddenly realizing why.
Not to mention Fei Nanyu, whom she had only met twice, even Mo Jiuye, whom she was with all day, had almost failed to recognize her.
He Zhiran walked briskly for a few steps towards Fei Nanyu.
"Master Fei."
Fei Nanyu stopped in his tracks and looked at the speaker, somewhat uncertain.
"Are you calling me?"
If she was not worried that her appearance would be recognized by the government officials on this public street, He Zhiran would have definitely torn off her fake beard and wiped her face clean to reveal her true face. But this was not an option here.
Therefore, He Zhiran could only reveal her identity verbally, "Master Fei, I am He Zhiran, Mo Jiuye’s wife."
Fei Nanyu was taken aback for a moment before carefully examining her facial features.
Looking closely, she did resemble Mo Jiuye’s wife, and her voice could not be faked.
After gazing at her for a moment and confirming that the person in front of him was indeed He Zhiran, Fei Nanyu\'s expression instantly became more relaxed.
His attitude was still very modest. "Madam Mo, I didn\'t expect us to meet again here.”
He Zhiran looked around and pointed to her outfit, “Master Fei, I’m currently dressed as a man.”
Fei Nanyu suddenly understood and said with a smile, "Master He."
He Zhiran nodded to indicate that she accepted this form of address. She then asked,
"What brings Master Fei to Pingyang County?"
Fei Nanyu felt that there was no need to conceal the purpose of this trip, so he spoke directly, "I won’t hide it from Master He. I arrived in the capital city following Prince Qi, but Prince Qi received an imperial decree to go to Dongfeng County for disaster relief as soon as he arrived. We set off for Dongfeng County overnight and only found out when we arrived that in addition to the flooding, there was also a plague outbreak.
The magistrate of Dongfeng County obtained a questionable cure that was said to be able to treat and control the plague. However, there was a lack of one medicinal ingredient. Prince Qi then tasked me to travel along the road west towards the surrounding county cities, to see if I could buy that medicinal ingredient.”
