Chapter 1128: Reporting to Great Rock Village
The county magistrate touched his chin again. Seeing that, Shao Qingyuan’s lips twitched slightly.
After some thought, he continued, “If possible, please inform the Qiu Residence. I hope they won’t interfere in this matter.”
“Okay, okay, no problem.” The county magistrate agreed without hesitation.
Shao Qingyuan was speechless. He was suddenly extremely glad that he did not hand over the letter given to him by the prefecture magistrate.
This county magistrate of Heyuan County seemed to be eager for others to owe him a favor.
The county magistrate was also very fast. As soon as he agreed, he stood up and asked the constable to call Young Master Qiu back.
Young Master Qiu, who was not far from the county office, had just instructed his subordinates to report to Great Rock Village. “Tell Zhou Jingui that the county city hasn’t received any news of any lord coming here recently. Even the county magistrate doesn’t know. It’s not very likely for the man to be on a secret mission, so his sudden action of taking out the Fish Talisman is very strange. As for you, let them wait patiently for a day. I’ll give him the news soon. If there’s nothing else, I’ll still bring Xiaoni into the family. I don’t care if she’s married before. Alright, go.”
The subordinate left immediately after hearing that.
As soon as he left, the constable came to look for Young Master Qiu.
Young Master Qiu found it strange. Didn’t he just see her? However, he still followed her to the county office.
Shao Qingyuan didn’t see Young Master Qiu. He was drinking tea at the back and letting the county magistrate talk to Young Master Qiu.
When Young Master Qiu heard that the official holding the Fish Talisman actually had a great background, he was immediately shocked and anxious.
The county magistrate comforted him. “Don’t worry. That lord has no grudge against you. He won’t cause you trouble. He just heard that you have some dealings with the Zhou family, so he’s trying to find out what your relationship is so that he won’t hurt the innocent.”
Young Master Qiu heaved a sigh of relief. That’s good, that’s good. He quickly pointed to the sky and swore, “I have nothing to do with the Zhou family at all. It’s just that there’s a lady in the Zhou family who’s quite beautiful. I wanted to take her as my concubine, so we interacted.”
They had only interacted twice, but that lord had already found out about him. Young Master Qiu could not help but admire that lord’s methods.
The county magistrate asked about the girl in detail, but the girl that Master Qiu mentioned was completely different from what Shao Qingyuan told her.
Of course, he trusted Shao Qingyuan, so he told Young Master Qiu firmly, “I’m afraid you’ve been deceived.”
The county magistrate patted his shoulder sympathetically and told him the whole story.
Young Master Qiu was instantly furious. “What a good Zhou family. They actually dare to lie to me. That woman despises the poor and loves the rich, but she just had to say that her husband was worthless. Fortunately, you told me the truth. Otherwise, if I took such a vicious woman back, I’m afraid my family would be in chaos. I wouldn’t even know when she would harm me.”
He stood up and walked around twice before exhaling. “I definitely won’t have anything to do with the Zhou family anymore. Don’t worry, sir. I’ll get someone to settle the score with the Zhou family now.”
“It’s good that you know your limits.”
Young Master Qiu thanked him a few more times before leaving in a hurry.
After walking out of the county office, Young Master Qiu found his servant and instructed him to hurry to Great Rock Village.
After sending Young Master Qiu away, the county magistrate returned to the back hall. “You heard it too. The Zhou family is deceiving both sides and wants to benefit from it. Unfortunately, they are too ambitious. It’s fine if they want Hong Xiaoni to marry into the Qiu family, but they also want to take the opportunity to take down the Chang family. In the end, they failed.”
