Besides, she also found many account books recording the financial dealings between Bai Ling Zhixian and Shang Feng in a small box on the alcove.

He was indeed backed by someone, which allowed him to run amok in Bai Ling and victimize the people. Fang Jinxiu chased the trail of the bribes, finally discovering that these illicit funds ended up with a prince from Xixia.

That is to say, the current King of Xi Xia's brother.

Although Xixia has been developing well in recent years, and the Xixia King is indeed a capable monarch, he is getting old after all. His own brothers have been amassing wealth in secret, and they've been so blatant that he hasn't even noticed.

The inner court of Xixia was also very corrupt, it wasn't a monolithic block.

Seeing this, Fang Jinshi felt much more at ease and was even more eager to go to the capital of Xixia.

She took in all the accounts, and the entire Xi Xia shouldn't be without even one upright official. Bai Linzhi County was just a small shrimp; his death could allow the people here to breathe for a while.

As for whether things here will develop in a positive direction in the future, that's not something she can worry about right now.

Let A Sheng take care of it when he's in charge.

After Fang Jinxiu came out, she walked in front of Bai Ling Zhixian. This fat pig didn't even know how many innocent women he had trampled on. To let him die like this is simply too cheap for him.

She took out her most agonizing poison, pried open his jaw and poured it straight in.

This poison won't make someone immediately sick. It will slowly erode their internal organs, causing excruciating pain every day. This is because their internal organs and intestines are rotting away bit by bit. How could they not be in pain

Even after his internal organs and intestines are completely rotten, he might not die.

Then the skin starts to rot, you can't eat or drink, and you have to endure extreme hunger. Even though it was poison that killed you, your brain feels like it's being tortured every day with all eighteen kinds of pain.

Only such a death befits such an animalistic scum.

After administering the poison, Jinxiu left the room directly. She was able to leave so easily thanks to Bai Ling Zhixian's foolish decision. He personally drove her away, and the officers thought their lord was having a good time, so none of them dared to disturb him.

Never before had anyone dared to run wild in Bai Lingzhi's manor, let alone thought that Fang Jinshu, a seemingly weak and gentle woman, would have such great ability to subdue the magistrate.

At night, the county magistrate's wife heard her servant report that her husband had been in his room since the afternoon, pampering a new woman. She felt something was amiss; she knew her husband's capabilities all too well.

Even if that old man had taken aphrodisiacs, he couldn't possibly last this long, and he doesn't even eat or drink.

"Have you heard any noises coming from inside the room"

The maids shook their heads.

"Tell Madam that there hasn't seemed to be any movement in the Master's quarters. Perhaps the Master is tired and asleep"

The county magistrate's wife suddenly felt her eyelids twitch. She hurriedly sat up.

"Get me dressed and let's go see the old master."

The County Magistrate's wife, accompanied by a few maidservants carrying lanterns, arrived at the door of Bai Ling County Magistrate's room. She first knocked softly on the door and called out in a gentle voice.

"Master, would you like some supper The maids said you didn't even have dinner tonight. How can that be right"

She waited a while, her ear pressed against the door. Inside, it was so quiet it was almost unnatural.

The county magistrate's wife's face changed.

"Come here! Smash the door open for me."

The commoners hurriedly burst through the door, and the maidservant also lit a lamp. When the candlelight illuminated the entire room, several maidservants discovered that their master was lying naked on the ground, with gruesome bloodstains on his lower body. They instinctively let out screams of horror.

The county magistrate's wife came over and instantly paled.

“Grandpa, Grandpa!”

"Who did this! Find me the person who did it!"

"The living must be seen, the dead must be seen. Go quickly!"

Only the female prisoner brought from the prison this afternoon was in this room. The servants of the County Magistrate's Mansion quickly followed the tracks and found her side of the prison.

The woman could run, but her brother couldn't.

The County Magistrate's servants rushed to the front of the prison, their faces grim. The jailer, hearing that the County Magistrate had been injured by a female prisoner, immediately unlocked the cell and charged in with the others.

Since Fang Jinxiu dared to strike the county magistrate directly, she naturally wouldn't give them a chance to find her.

When she came out of the county magistrate's office, it was not yet dark. She took the magistrate's token and returned to the jail. The jailer on duty was not the same as the one now.

Seeing the county magistrate's token, the jailers dared not stop her. They all thought that this woman had become the magistrate's new favorite, and even gave her his personal token.

Seeing this, the people dared not stop Fang Jinshui from entering and releasing the person.

She not only took Ah Sheng away, but also released all the prisoners in jail, including those children. Fang Jinshi let them all go.

The prison guard, seeing this, hesitated to stop him, but Fang Jinshi suddenly took out a gold ingot and waved it in front of his face.

"The county magistrate himself ordered me to release these riff-raff. How much money can you possibly make from these half-dead prisoners"

"Keeping them is a waste of food."

"If it weren't for the magistrate's order, could I possibly be here with this token"

If you benefit, act quickly.

The jailers nodded in agreement. Ben still wanted to ask a few more questions, after all, with so many prisoners released all at once, what if the higher-ups regretted it later They wouldn't be able to take responsibility then.

Fāng Jǐnxiù assured them repeatedly that she was in charge of this matter and the county magistrate wouldn't trouble them.

The jailer, bewildered and dizzy from the deception, finally nodded and handed over the key after being tempted with a gold coin.

The next shift guard had no idea about this. The guard who received the money always felt uneasy holding onto it. When he was changing shifts, he deliberately didn't mention anything, letting his relieving brother sit at the door and drink.

He took the money and ran home to pack his things and escape.

The guards from the County Magistrate's office stormed into the prison, only to find it completely empty. Not even a single prisoner was in sight. They were immediately enraged.

"Where are the people! Where are the prisoners in this jail!"

The approaching guard was instantly dumbfounded, feeling like the sky was falling.

"I, I don't know, I really don't know, I don't know anything."

These people were completely out of their minds! The guards at the County Magistrate's Mansion grabbed hold of the jailer's collar and snarled.

"You die!"

He turned and led the way back, first to report this matter to the old master and mistress.

Fang Jinshiu had already left Bailing County with A Sheng. She got her rented carriage back, but one carriage couldn't fit so many children. A Sheng went to the city and bought a bigger carriage.

She couldn't tell which of these twenty-odd children were from Lühé Village and which were from the city, so she simply sent them all to the village head, asking him to find homes for them.

After all, revenge is revenge and gratitude is gratitude. Lu Village Chief's treachery towards them wouldn't make Fang Jinxiu hold a grudge against these children.

But she wasn't going to let this just slide. She had saved their children, shouldn't the people of Lvhe Village be held accountable for what they had done!r-in-law.Zong Hu went to the water pond to draw water.
