The Female Officer Became a Farmer After Getting Reborn

Li Yu nodded. “Try your best to find a remote location and leave them behind.” “Yes, Madam.” Ruyi agreed and led the horse into the rain and fog.

Ruyi drove the horse into the mountains and found a cave to throw it in.

Listening to the rain and looking at the bottomless cave, she said quietly, “When you were fighting, did you think about the final boneyard? It’s just a cave.”

She turned around and patted the horse. “Go! Go live a free life.”

A horse ran into the forest, and the others followed. Li Yu burned the luggage and personal belongings of Second Master and the others in the temple.

After cleaning up the traces, she sat on the threshold of the hall and watched the rain continue to fall.

Li Yu leaned against the door frame and narrowed her eyes. She looked at the rainy and misty sky and thought about the Second Prince. He had finally gone where he should go.

She looked at the sky and said softly, “Sisters of Liang Village, we’ve helped you take revenge. Your relatives can rest in peace.”

Ruyi returned from the mountain and saw Li Yu leaning against the door frame. She narrowed her eyes and sat there casually. She walked quietly towards the house where Ji Xiang was resting.

Ji Xiang fell asleep in his sleeping bag. Ruyi was relieved to see that his face had already turned rosy.

He took off her raincoat and leaned against the wall to rest for a while before going out to say to Li Yu, “Madam, Ji Xiang is fine. It looks like the rain won’t stop. We can only stay here for the night.”

Li Qing’s potential threat had been eliminated, so Li Yu was not in a hurry to hurry. She smiled and said to Ruyi, “We’ll stay as guests on a rainy day. Let’s stay in the Mountain God Temple for the night and continue tomorrow morning. Get something to eat first. Go and sleep first. I’ll guard here.” Ruyi also smiled and nodded. “Alright, I’ll go start the fire.”

When Ruyi entered the house to light the fire, Li Yu went to the back of the house and took out a hare from her space. She carried it back and handed it to Ruyi. “Hehe! My luck is not bad. I caught a hare in the firewood.”

Ruyi gave her a thumbs up. “Madam is indeed lucky.”

Li Yu laughed dryly and wondered to herself, “If I fetch another wild deer, let’s see what you can praise me with.”

The rain finally stopped in the middle of the night.

The next morning, Li Yu woke up to the cries of birds outside the house. She walked to the eaves of the porch and looked at the purple flowers blooming in the courtyard. Under the sunlight, the dew on the petals became even more sparkling and translucent. She breathed in the fresh and sweet air after the rain.

Ji Xiang also walked out of the house. Looking at the slowly rising red sun in the east, he smiled at Li Yu and said, “Madam, it’s a good day.”

“Yes!” Li Yu turned to look at him. “How do you feel?”

Ji Xiang waved his hand. “Don’t worry. With Old Master’s antidote pill, that bit of poison is nothing. Look, are we going to hurry after eating?”

Seeing that he was energetic, Li Yu smiled and nodded. “Okay.”

After Li Qing officially took office, he called County Lieutenant Zhang Jingtang over and showed him the evidence of Magistrate Wang’s corruption.

After reading the evidence, County Lieutenant Zhang was not surprised at all. He only felt that this new county magistrate was too capable.

He looked at Li Qing and smiled in admiration. He cupped his hands and said,

“Someone has finally come to eliminate this malignant tumor in Le County.”

Li Qing looked at his head and said, “County Lieutenant Zhang, although Le County has been in a mess because of Wang Ping, fortunately, there’s still a conscientious county lieutenant like you. Otherwise, the people of Le County would really have no way out.”

“Sir, this is my duty.”

County Lieutenant Zhang bowed respectfully to Li Qing and looked up at him. “Lord Li, just instruct me what you want to do. I will definitely go through fire and water!”

Li Qing smiled brightly and said, “There’s no need to go through fire and water. You just need to bring your brothers to capture Wang Ping and those thieves who raided the warehouses. I’ll get someone to help you.”

County Lieutenant Zhang straightened his chest and replied loudly, “Yes, sir.”

Li Qing asked Ding Yi and Ding Kui to assist County Lieutenant Zhang at County Governor Wang’s house.

County Lieutenant Zhang took the order signed by Li Qing and brought people to County Magistrate Wang’s house. He shouted at his constables, “Surround the Wang family and don’t let anyone escape.”

With that, he led his men in. When County Magistrate Wang heard the report, he came out of the house angrily. He pointed at County Lieutenant Zhang and scolded, “Zhang Jingtang, how dare you offend your superior?”

County Lieutenant Zhang held the document signed by Li Qing and shook it in front of his eyes. “Wang Ping, the heavens have eyes for a beetle like you. The day when I can catch you personally has finally arrived.” With that, he waved his hand. “Capture him and take note of everything in the house.”

Wang Ping shouted at the servant in exasperation, “Beat him up. If he dies, it’ll be my fault.”

“Yes, Master.” The arrogant and domineering servant of the Wang family rushed up with a water stick.

Ding Kui and County Lieutenant Zhang stepped forward and knocked the mob to the ground.

Ding Yi went forward and grabbed Wang Ping. “Dog, how dare you resist arrest?”

Wang Ping struggled and shouted, “Let’s see which of you dares to arrest me?

Do you Imow who I’m working for?”

“You dog, how dare you spout nonsense?” Ding Yi knocked him out.

After capturing Wang Ping and raiding the Wang family, the constables found countless gold, silver, and treasures from Wang Ping’s house.

County Lieutenant Zhang looked at the things piled up in the courtyard and the

Wang family members who were staring at them fiercely. He said sternly, “Wang Ping has done so many outrageous things in Le County all these years and plundered so much from the commoners. It’s time for you to pay for following Wang Ping and eating the flesh and blood of the commoners.”

After confiscating the Wang family, County Lieutenant Zhang quickly brought people to capture Wang Zhi and Mr. Cheng, as well as a few squires who were in on the collusion.

Ding Yi and the constable brought Wang Ping and the Wang family to the county office.

When the commoners saw Wang Ping tied up and the servants who used to strut around, they all became agitated.

The people who received the news surrounded them from all directions. They cursed, grabbed things, and threw them at the Wang family.

After Mr. Cheng was arrested, Li Qing got someone to paste a seal on his residence and Wenchang Pavilion. He wrote a secret letter and handed it to Liang Cheng for him to bring back to the capital.

The old women who were paid for doing nothing in the front hall of the county office were so frightened that they did not dare to come again.

After the people inserted by the county office’s Wang Ping’an were clear and clean, Li Qing was busy abolishing the taxes that Wang Ping had privately added to the commoners.

County Magistrate Liu saw that County Lieutenant Zhang had brought Mr. Cheng back, but he did not see the Second Master. He found the front office and asked Li Qing doubtfully, “Lord Li, we didn’t catch that person?”

Li Qing shook his head worriedly. “We’ve searched Wenchang Pavilion and the Cheng family, but we can’t find that person. Even the few guards following him are gone. Cheng said that he doesn’t know where that person went.”

County Magistrate Liu thought for a moment.. “Lord Li, do you think he’s no

longer in Le County?”
