The Transmigrated Farm Girl Has a Cheat Code

Chapter 143 Someone's Here to Steal the Fruit!

Kyoto.

Zhao Yunqing walked out of the court with a blank face. "These people who are born afraid of death, as soon as they heard that the Yu family had set off, they started rushing to go and provide disaster relief."

“Yu Dingxin’s medical skills were passed down from the old master of the Yu family and Li Zhongwei. It’s just an epidemic, which is no problem for him. Since there is still hope in Wutai County, they will naturally go and add to the good fortune,” Zhao Yuncheng said calmly.

"To stand by and watch people die and then have the nerve to add to their glory. So many people were asking for immediate disaster relief, but Father ignored them all. Now that there's a benefit, he's rushing to send his own son." Zhao Yunqing glanced at the Crown Prince in front of him, feeling disgusted by his hypocritical act of caring for the people in court.

"They're just going to gain some fame. Whatever their original intentions, for the people of Wutai County, going is better than not going."

"Tsk, has there been a reply from Yun'an yet? Didn't the whole family go to Yun'an? I heard it snowed there too." Zhao Yunqing patted Zhao Yuncheng's shoulder and asked casually.

Zhao Yuncheng glanced at him, seeing that he was looking straight ahead and pretending not to care, but actually had his ears perked up. He rolled his eyes at him and said, "They went back. Quan Sinian said that everything was fine there. It was just snow that caused some houses to collapse, but it didn't cause too much damage."

Zhao Yunqing breathed a sigh of relief. "That's good."

He turned to look at Zhao Yuncheng, and seeing that his expression was still not good, asked, "What? Is there something else?"

Zhao Yuncheng shook his head without explaining.

He only remembered that Quan Sinian's letter also mentioned that Li Zhongwei had gone to Wutai County for disaster relief, and Lin Yan had gone with him.

Quan Sinian guessed that the person connected with the Seventh Prince was Lin Yan, but he didn't say anything more about it, only writing about Lin Yan's activities in the letter.

After all, Lin Yan not only had dealings with the Seventh Prince, but also with the people of Daye. This could only mean that the Seventh Prince really had connections with Daye. If this got out, it would be a serious crime.

"Fifth Brother, are you going to Jinning too?" Zhao Yunwen asked tentatively.

Zhao Yunxuan scoffed, "How could I possibly go? Even if I brought the imperial physician, I could still get infected! However, I will send one of my men with me."

He definitely has to get involved, otherwise the Crown Prince will take all the credit for this disaster relief effort.

Just now in the court, it was obvious that his father wanted him to take on this task, but he had discussed it with his mother and they decided that there was no need to go to the disaster area. He hadn't gotten to where he was today because of his reputation.

Only someone as incompetent as the crown prince would need such a thing. He can only secure his position through a reputation for virtue, yet this time he's personally leading the team.

"I hope our good third brother won't die there, otherwise I'll be so bored," Zhao Yunxuan chuckled.

Zhao Yunwen and Zhao Yunwu, who were standing next to him, exchanged a glance but did not dare to speak.

"what!!!"

Yue Heqiu's concubine woke up from her bed, still groggy. For some reason, she had slept very soundly. She looked outside and saw that it was already bright daylight.

Just as she was about to wake the magistrate, she saw a stranger lying next to her.

She screamed and saw the man slowly wake up, a bald man with a bruised and swollen face.

It looks somewhat familiar...

"Master...Master?"

Yue Heqiu clicked his tongue. "What are you doing? Making such a racket so early in the morning."

"Ah! Sir! Your...your hair?"

"What?" Yue Heqiu rubbed his eyes, still half asleep. "Ouch!" Why does it hurt so much?!

He sat up strangely, touching his face. "Hiss! Ha! Hiss!"

For some reason, his face hurts wherever I touch it.

He glanced at his concubine and was about to ask her to bring him a mirror when he noticed her strange expression and her somewhat frightened look as she stared at him.

With his face bruised and swollen, Lord Yue had a bad feeling.

"Hair... hair!"

Yue Heqiu touched his head and froze.

Where's my hair? Where's my hair?! Where's all my hair?!

He got out of bed, found a mirror, and saw a bald man with a bruised and swollen face reflected in it.

Yue Heqiu's vision blurred and he almost fainted.

Unfortunately, before I could faint, I heard a commotion outside, with someone banging on the door.

"Sir, sir, our house has been burgled!!!"

Yue Heqiu was helped up by his concubine. When he opened the door, he saw the county magistrate standing anxiously outside.

"What happened? You said it was stolen?!"

"My lord... uh?" Chen Li was about to report when he saw that the person in front of him was not the familiar county magistrate, but a pig-headed man...

He stood there stunned for a long time before recognizing the magistrate. He swallowed hard, not daring to look up for fear of bursting into laughter. "Sir, the county government's warehouse has been robbed."

"Warehouse?" Yue Heqiu reacted for a moment, remembering that the warehouse was full of grain.

"How much was stolen?" he asked, composing himself.

The county magistrate looked up in horror, "They're all...gone."

The magistrate's face stiffened. "What do you mean, 'gone?'"

"The warehouse is empty, even the tables and chairs that were inside are gone..." Chen Li said, and even he himself couldn't believe it.

With so much stuff in the warehouse, how could it all have been stolen? Even if there were carts and horses, it would have taken several trips to transport it all; how could it all be gone?

If he hadn't seen the empty warehouse with his own eyes, he would have thought the people below were talking nonsense, but it was indeed the truth.

"Not only the warehouse, they said even the food in the kitchen is gone. Our county government office has no food at all now." Chen Li was on the verge of tears, hoping that she was dreaming.

Yue Heqiu was stunned. Chen Li was now in the same boat as him, so there was no need to lie to him. He then thought about his own appearance.

An unbelievable thought popped into Yue Heqiu's mind. Last night, someone must have come in, not only bypassing the yamen runners' patrol, but also entering his room, beating him, and shaving his head.

He suddenly remembered something, pushed his concubine out the door, and locked the two of them outside.

"My lord?" Chen Li and his concubine knocked on the door, bewildered.

Yue Heqiu went straight to the cabinet and opened the hidden door. "Impossible, absolutely impossible. My hidden door is so well concealed, it's impossible for it to be discovered."

"what!!!!"

Looking at the empty room before him, with even the facade gone, the magistrate could no longer remain calm.

A bloodcurdling scream, like a pig being slaughtered, came from inside the house.

Chen Li could only push open the door, and the two of them saw their county magistrate lying on the ground with his eyes rolled back.

"grown ups!!!"

The two rushed over and helped him up. Unfortunately, they couldn't wake him up no matter how hard they tried.

Chen Li looked at the empty dark room in front of Yue Heqiu and realized something when he thought of the warehouse in the county government office.

He threw the magistrate aside and ran away.

The magistrate's head slammed against the ground again with a clang.

The concubine cried out in terror, "My lord!!!"

Chen Li ran back to his room, rummaged through a box hidden in the wall, opened it, and found the silver notes were still inside. He breathed a sigh of relief.

He didn't usually live in the county government office, and he didn't have much gold or silver on hand, only banknotes, which he hid in this box. Seeing that he hadn't lost his savings, Chen Li breathed a sigh of relief.

The thought that he had no food at all while he was in the county government office gave him a renewed sense of relief.

Lin Yan could only express her regret, as she didn't have time to search every room, and the silver note detector couldn't find it, so she had to let this person go for now.
