Rescue System: Fleeing Host, calm down

Chapter 399 Negotiating a Deal

The eldest son only revealed the news of the child before he died, and asked the county governor to find the child.

After getting the news, she secretly hired the most powerful killer at a huge price.

She can't let that bitch's child come back and cause trouble for her.

What she didn't expect was that the secret killer would fail, and what she couldn't accept even more was that the child suddenly appeared in the house.

When she tried to do something else, she was caught by the county guard.

She was involved in many things that happened back then. The eldest son was also a smart man and had suspected her for a long time. However, he did not expose her because of his inability to do so or lack of substantive evidence.

It was not until the eve of his death that he told his father all the ins and outs and asked him to keep his child.

Normally, the county governor would not believe it, and even if he had doubts, he would investigate first. But these were his son's last words, how could he question it.

Unexpectedly, before he could dig a hole, his wife took action.

So impatient.

He couldn't believe it.

However, if someone gets the stolen goods together, they can no longer deny it.

As the confidant nun beside the wife was imprisoned and interrogated, the results obtained were shocking. It turned out that the wife not only loved her eldest son, but also hated her because of her love, causing the family to almost be destroyed.

This fact is unacceptable, but we have to accept it.

County Sheriff Ren's wife knelt on the ground and begged, but the Sheriff did not relent in the slightest. He only regretted that he had misjudged her.

If his son hadn't begged for mercy, he should have given her a glass of white wine or a foot of white silk to make her pay for what she had done.

"Then what"

After a day's work, it's time to listen to gossip again.

"The county governor's wife has been in control of the mansion for many years, and she has given birth to such an outstanding son. Naturally, it is impossible for her to sacrifice her life or be abandoned. However, no matter how noisy and unwilling she is, she can only die in the small Buddhist hall in the mansion.

For the rest of my life.”

"So you handle it gently?"

"The host can't say the same thing. The county governor's wife has enjoyed a lifetime of glory and wealth. She is inherently arrogant and unwilling to admit defeat. She also has a heavy heart for grudges. For the rest of her life, she can only eat fast and chant Buddha's name. Being locked up in a small dark room is probably worse than death."

"Well, Qiqi's analysis is good, and it's becoming more and more humane." Cheng Xiaoxiao praised generously.

"That's right!"

The system is arrogant.

hehe!

There is also a saying among humans that tarsal insects are dead but not stiff. As long as there is still life, everything is possible. Moreover, the deceased is already dead, but he has a living and outstanding son. Who can say clearly what will happen next.

In the past few days, the atmosphere in the county magistrate's mansion has been tense and also tinged with embarrassment. How could it not make people feel guilty when the grandmother in charge did such a thing.

The masters looked bad, and the servants were also trembling with fear, fearing that they would be punished if they made some mistake.

On the contrary, Cheng Xiaoxiao, who should eat and drink when he should, was completely unaffected by it.

However, things here are almost settled, it’s time to talk about the deal!

Knowing that the county guard was in the lobby, she walked directly outside the lobby.

The servant guarding the door was very polite to her and quickly sent the message.

Stepping into the solemn and elegant main hall, the smell of incense and a little smoke from the charcoal pot make such a serious place very comfortable and warm.

"Master Sheriff, how are you these days?" Cheng Xiaoxiao asked knowingly.

"Young master Cheng, let's see the joke."

"Anyway, I have been taking care of patients these days and haven't paid attention to anything else. I just saw that the governor's face was not very good, so I was concerned about whether he had worked too hard these days. I hope you can take care of yourself.

But you are the backbone of the people, if you collapse from exhaustion, who will they rely on?"

Cheng Xiaoxiao's speaking level makes people feel comfortable listening to him.

It was impossible for her not to know about such a big thing happening in the county governor's mansion, but she deliberately put it aside so as not to cause embarrassment. At the same time, she also showed that she would keep her mouth shut. While caring about the sufferings of the people, she also did not forget to tell the county governor to pay attention to her physical and mental health.

Governor Zhao was very satisfied with Cheng Xiaoxiao's knowledge and interest.

Such a smart and perceptive person, who expresses what he wants without deliberately saying anything, is really formidable.

"You're welcome, Mr. Cheng. Please sit down."

Sheriff Zhao asked someone to put the tea cup on the table and asked while sipping the tea.

"I'm pretty used to it these days."

It was as if he wanted to chat with her about daily life.

"Thanks to Mr. Zhao for your hospitality, everything is fine. I have a business here and I would like to discuss it with you."

Governor Zhao is different, and he finally wants to express his intention.

"Young Master Cheng, you're welcome. You are the great benefactor of Dayan City. If you have something to say, just speak up. Zhao will never delay what he can do."

The self-proclaimed governor of Zhao is very flattering, because he got the news from Zhao Wuling that this Young Master Cheng is a master of Anjin. He can practice to such a level at such an age. The power behind him cannot be underestimated. If you don't understand it yet,

You need to be careful before the other party comes to you.

"To be honest with you, I am from the Phoenix City of Aiqi and have fallen in love with the textile technology and exquisite embroidery skills of the Great Banquet City.

If adults are willing to exchange, Phoenix City has plenty of rice, flour, grains, oils, warm clothes, and even charcoal, which is in short supply."

Cheng Xiaoxiao has gained a lot from running around these days.

Dayan City is located in the south of Daxia, with small temperature differences in the four seasons, rich products, and an endless stream of traders. There are so many embroiderers here. Basically, women in every household make a living by doing embroidery at home before they get married. The women here are not only

The embroidery skills are exquisite, and the brocade weaving skills are also first-class.

After hearing Cheng Xiaoxiao's bold words, Governor Zhao didn't show any emotion on his face, but he was very shocked in his heart.

You must know that it has been extremely cold for more than three months, and the average poor people have been dying more than a month ago.

The people who have survived to this day are basically the wealthier families in the city, or ruthless people with good fighting prowess who have been eliminated in rounds of strength. Even so, they have now run out of ammunition and food.

What's more, when there was an earthquake, the rocks collapsed, the ground cracked and the walls collapsed, leaving only the ruins of the city, and the clothes to keep out the cold were naturally buried.

He was so worried about this matter, but he didn't expect that the person in front of him said that there were countless supplies. How could he not be moved?

"Young Master Cheng, do you really mean what you said?"

"In business, since I can represent Phoenix City on this business path, I naturally do it based on integrity. How could I be untargeted?"

Cheng Xiao Xiao’s words are conclusive.

His face was full of confidence.

"It's not that Zhao believes in the sincerity of the young master, but the natural disaster has been going on for so long. Except for the first-class aristocratic families, the top forces in the world, or the supreme imperial power, the granaries in various states and counties have been exhausted one after another, and even the big grain merchants in Jiangnan have no more.

How much food has been stored?

Those who currently have food reserves are struggling to feed themselves, and there are very few who can help others.”

Governor Zhao looked troubled, otherwise he would not have turned gray with worry.

Don't look at the fact that there are still 50,000 days of grain in the granary. For the huge population of prefectures and counties, even if the population drops sharply, this amount of food can only support more than a month.
