But since she was asking for help, Shen Xining naturally knew her current situation. She pursed her lips, but did not look angry, she was still smiling.
"Fourth Prince, since you have come here today, you must have something important to do. At least you should want to help me with this matter of the county magistrate."
Shen Xining was very sure. Xie Zhaoan didn't know where she got the conclusion from. He didn't interrupt Shen Xining. He looked at her and nodded.
"And then? Lord Shen, when you ask someone to do something for you, you should always have an attitude. Otherwise, it will be inconvenient to speak, let alone do the work."
Shen Xining was obedient. She stood up, walked slowly to Xie Zhaoan, lifted his chin with her white fingers, and exhaled a sweet breath.
"Fourth Prince, what kind of attitude do you want when asking for help?"
Xie Zhaoan was stunned. He didn't expect Shen Xining to use this trick. Before he could react, Shen Xining's hand had already pulled up his sleeve and pulled off the belt around his waist. The man's outer robe fell to the ground. Xie Zhaoan's face changed immediately.
Shen Xining's hand wanted to go deeper, but Xie Zhaoan grabbed her hand and said in a cold voice.
"Sir Shen, you know that what you are doing now is inappropriate."
Shen Xining raised his eyebrows, stroked his cheek with his fingers, and spoke softly.
"Fourth Prince, I don't know why this is wrong. Have you forgotten the relationship between us? Can't we do these intimate things now?"
As she spoke, Shen Xining's fingers opened his clothes. Xie Zhaoan was stunned. When Shen Xining's fingers were about to touch his inner skin, he instantly reached out and grabbed her hand, and said in a cold voice.
"That's enough. I'll help you."
Shen Xining looked at Xie Zhaoan's rosy earlobes with satisfaction and smiled with pursed lips.
"In that case, thank you very much, Fourth Prince."
Shen Xining got up and left with satisfaction. Xie Zhaoan looked at the woman leaving and felt a little uncomfortable. He didn't know if it was his illusion, but he felt like a decent woman was being teased.
After Shen Xining left the restaurant, her expression suddenly became serious. Now that Xie Zhaoan has confirmed that he will save her, Shen Xining no longer needs to worry about her own danger. But she needs to worry about whether she can find the county magistrate, or whether the county magistrate is really still alive
In the next few days, Shen Xining walked the streets and alleys, looking for people who had lived here before to describe the appearance of the county magistrate. She already had a portrait of the county magistrate in her hand, but Shen Xining was still a little nervous.
But the road ahead is always difficult. Only when people move forward can they be called human beings. Only animals look back.
afternoon.
Shen Xining dressed up as a man and went to the local gambling house. Although she was dressed as a man, she walked in a swaggering manner and did not seem to attract any attention at all. The people in the gambling house all had red eyes, obviously they were having too much fun.
"Big big big!"
"Little little little!"
"Open! Open! Open quickly! What are you waiting for! Open quickly!!!"
Amid the constant noise around him, Shen Xining found a table and took out ten silver bills. The servant saw this and kindly reminded him.
"Sir, there is no such thing as winning or losing at the gambling table. If you lose, you must accept the loss. Otherwise, you may lose more than just your own silver."
Shen Xining raised his eyebrows.
"What else do you have to lose?"
"Of course there is also the gentleman's demeanor! This gentleman has an extraordinary appearance and a temperament that is not that of an ordinary person. If he loses, I am afraid that it will hurt the hearts of countless people here!"
Shen Xining sneered.
There is only one reason why gambling houses are so popular in such places, and that is that they are in collusion with the local government and give the local government a certain amount of silver every month. It can also be said that this is one of the sources of silver for local officials. Therefore, these gambling houses are always somewhat fearless in doing things. This is why Shen Xining insisted on coming to the gambling house today.
She took out another stack of banknotes and looked at the servant with disdain.
"What do you mean by that? Do you look down on me? I don't lack money the least. I came here today just to have some fun. Are you deliberately trying to make me unhappy by talking to me like this?"
Seeing so much money, the servant's mouth curled up slightly and he nodded quickly.
"Sir, you are joking. The gambling house is a place for you to have fun. If you are not having fun, it must be our fault. Please forgive me and don't blame us!"
Shen Xining nodded, and then she became happy. She announced that she would join the battle. With the participation of such a big shot, the people around her were completely happy. The atmosphere of the entire gambling house reached its peak at this moment!
"Open, open, open! Big, big!"
"Xiao Xiao Xiao! Open it quickly! Open it quickly!"
In the first game, Shen Xining won as expected. Because she had a lot of capital, she earned a lot after winning this game. The people around her had tears in their eyes when they saw this scene.
“That’s a lot of money!”
Shen Xining put all the money he had just earned on the gambling table and shouted loudly.
"You can only win if you dare to gamble. Everyone, I won't leave until I win ten times the money today!"
Shen Xining noticed that the servant had left the gambling table at some point and secretly went upstairs, where a fat, big-eared man was drinking and eating meat. Wasn't this man the dog county magistrate Lin Jiang? Listening to the servant's report, he laughed heartily.
"Hahaha! Such a sucker actually came today! In that case, let him not leave. We must make sure he earns enough money before he leaves!"
The servant also nodded.
"Sir, don't worry, this matter will be handled properly!"
Lin Jiang nodded, picked up a piece of pork head and handed it to the servant. The servant was stunned for a moment, then quickly knelt down, opened his mouth, and took the piece of meat given by Lin Jiang with his mouth. Lin Jiang patted his face, expressing his great satisfaction.
"Okay, okay, you're so obedient! After this is done, I'll give you 30% of that man's money!"
The servant boy knelt down on the ground with joy and kowtowed repeatedly.
"Thank you, sir. Thank you, sir."
It can be seen that he does this kind of work a lot in normal times, and it can also be seen that this amount of money is indeed not a small sum for him.
Money is indeed a good thing. It is enough to make people crazy and obsessed with it. What's worse, it can make people go mad and then lose their humanity. So many things in the world happen just because of the word money, which leads to many tragedies.
