Wang Su was right in front of her, there was a cage separating the two of them. She was shocked, Wang Su had never called her by name before.

The people inside the palace had always been Imperial Noble Lady Ya's people calling her, so they didn't know that she wasn't the legendary Imperial Noble Lady Ya. The empress and Hanqin obviously knew that she wasn't Ge Ya but they didn't care who she was. As for Hanqin, he only remembered that she was Zhao Ci.

But Zhuang Li knew, she was not Zhao Ci …

Zhuang Li turned her head and saw Wang Su's face, and he was right beside the prison cell.

To be able to look at the Great Phoenix Emperor in such a manner while he was in prison, it must be a wonder of the world …

"Wang, Su."

He knew that she was not Ge Ya and that her original name was Zhuang Li, but he didn't know that she had another name Zhao Ci. He didn't know that she was one of the people who had gone to the West Cold desert with her.

Zhuang Li forced a smile at Wang Su.

"It's already so late, why didn't you wake me up after I had slept for so long, Young Master Wang?"

He was not the Emperor in this prison, he was just Young Master Wang who followed her to visit relatives. She suddenly felt a little impudent. What if she couldn't live past tomorrow?

Wang Su squatted down closer to Zhuang Li.

This woman, she had been unconscious ever since she entered the prison. He kept calling out to her, holding her hand, and only now did she wake up. Although he had experienced many things, it was his first time in this prison. He had never thought of such a day, nor did he think that the woman in front of him would make his heart ache.

He wanted her to survive, and he cared more and more about her …

The Prefect himself could not be considered a good person, as he was used to defrauding the common people. Originally, he had been living off the cream all year round, but his Lijiang County was great, except for one thing. There were bandits on the mountain. Occupy the mountain and become king.

Originally, the bandits only bullied the commoners. Even though they did not want to harm a government official like him, they were still a little afraid of the people who used military weapons from the imperial government.

But who knew if it was because of the panther's guts or what, on the night of the first half of the month, that living bandit suddenly barged into his mansion, the bandit in the lead, called Zhao Tianhu, extended his tiger-like, strong and terrifying claws, and twisted him up, placing him upright on his swept up teacher's chair. That aura immediately scared him to the point that he stuttered.

"You … "How dare you!"

Zhao Tianhu was not afraid at all, he even patted his shoulder happily. When the tiger claw landed on County Magistrate Zhang, it was as if he wanted to tear him apart, and slapped him down obediently.

"I had nothing to fear in the first place."

"Then... Then what exactly do you want to do!? " He's a bit sulky, but there's nothing he can do. "

Zhao Tianhu suddenly felt that this County Magistrate Zhang was rather interesting, as if he was a kitten compared to this tiger. It was even a fat cat that couldn't run …

"I came down the mountain to find you. Actually, there's nothing much, I just wanted to borrow some money from you, brother. You also know that there's only so much stuff on the mountain. I have to come down to buy it, ah … buying it naturally requires money."

"Then why are you looking for me!? You don't know... Don't you know that I am a court official! " He clenched his fists, as if he was going to fly into a rage. However, it was impossible for him to jump up with his current size …

On the contrary, Zhao Tianhu felt that the current Prime Minister Zhang was becoming more amusing, teasing him …

"As you know, the news on the mountain is not very well-informed. I have never heard of the meaning of the term imperial court official. I just went down the mountain and randomly found a farmer to ask which family in Rivers City is the wealthiest right now. In the end, the farmer said it was naturally the county magistrate's house. So I came looking for you. "

When the County Magistrate Zhang heard this, he cursed in his heart. Tomorrow, he would capture a few peasants and kill them in the city. Three days and three nights! Not half a month! Let's see who dares to chew on my tongue!

He could only watch as Zhao Tianhu's men crawled in and out of his residence, took out the gold box from under the bed, found his gold ring from the secret compartment in the study, and took out all kinds of jade artifacts from under his wife's pillow. Headgear, silver notes, they were all filled to the brim with four big boxes, as he carried them out of the mansion in a heavy manner.

In the end, Zhao Tianhu suddenly wandered back, and stared at the County Magistrate Zhang. County Magistrate Zhang was secretly delighted, thinking that this fellow was a prodigal son who wanted to return something back to him.

"Bro, this chair under your butt is pretty good. How about this, lend it to me for a few days. When you want to sit down one day, send someone up the mountain to pick it up …"

"Zhao Tianhu, don't go too far!"

"Don't be angry, don't be angry …" "If your body is angered to the point of breaking down, then what are you going to do to the common people to scrape Lijiang County?"

Zhao Tianhu comforted him, but the truth was that he was pouring oil on the fire as he patted the County Magistrate Zhang's chest. At the same time, he twisted him up and placed him to the side, allowing his subordinates to remove the chair.

After going through so much, the County Magistrate Zhang was so poor. However, what was even more infuriating was still coming … Just a few days later, a large amount of water have come out

The next flood had actually been big enough to directly rush into his mansion, and take away the food once it was gone.

In an instant, he had become as poor as a refugee lying on the street. The only difference was that he now had an extra flower plume that could neither be eaten nor exchanged for money.

He had been trying to comfort himself with the fact that he was out of things. He was just collecting and scraping. The money was gone, so he was quietly increasing the taxes. But he had miscalculated. This Lijiang County was originally a normal life for the people, but ever since he took office, other than being greedy, he was also greedy. In addition to this flood, it was simply a disaster …

Even if he wanted to take it, the people couldn't afford it. He really only had one life left … What did he do with his life?

If he did not get any benefits from it, he could look for the people up there. The County Magistrate Zhang did not give up. After the flood, he led the people to fix the damaged road and set off on their journey. He told his superiors about his own hardships, and invited them to come take a look at the Lijiang County …

If people from other areas were let into the city, the street would look as miserable as it could …

However, while waiting, there were no officials from the prefecture … If they didn't come? Then why would he be rewarded with the silver sent down by the imperial government?

He had already planned how the money would come. According to what the county's people reported, it was naturally the people from their own county plus outsiders. When the prefectural government sent down the silver and chased out of the county, he would put some of it in his own pocket.

Then there was the silver that the people in his county deserved. With half of it on everyone's heads, he could become rich again …

However, he did not know if it was because he was not used to walking around with the officials in the upper echelons, but it had been half a month. Not to mention that the victims were starving, even the rice vat in his house was almost empty. The disaster victims also came to them every day, saying that you usually took a lot of money from them, and that you took it out for everyone to use when there was a disaster, but what about now? What about the money?

Zhang Zhixian could only hide at home for a few days and let his wife lie that he had gone to another county to borrow food for everyone …

Just as he was about to fall into despair, Zhuang Li's group arrived.

However, Yun Duan had said that he could have the imperial government send over the rations first, and then he sent the statistics of the victims to the Regional Palace. The Prefecture? Would the Regional Palace give it to him?

His wife was always at home, causing a ruckus. He only had this kind of wife and wanted to marry her again, but his wife was too fierce. If he were to marry her again, he feared that he would be skinned alive …

But now that he had run out of money, his wife began to argue everyday about taking his son back to his parents' home … He had only one son, and he had inherited all the skills he and his wife had thought best … You'll get into trouble again and you'll go back on your word...

The people in that county all said that dragons gave birth to dragons, and phoenixes gave birth to phoenixes. Mice gave birth to sons that could bore holes, but they all said that behind the scenes. That county magistrate was even worse than a mouse …

Furthermore, if his wife left, he would no longer have the money to marry again. Even a dignified county magistrate wife and son would not be able to stay … Where should he put his face?

Therefore, he came up with an even bigger idea … Go to Zhao Tianhu and take back your silver …

He had held this thought in his heart for a whole half a month, yet he still didn't have the courage and strength to do so …

Until he met Zhuang Li and the other two who came knocking on her door, at that moment, he was so happy that he slapped his forehead! The heavens never forsake one!

He had a subordinate who knew some martial arts. It was said that he was a famous teacher in the martial arts world. However, because of his bad mental skills, he was called out by his master … That person couldn't be considered an expert, nor could he be considered a martial artist … "However, I can still be considered a military man …

Ever since he was bullied by Zhao Tianhu that day, Zhang Chang Ren finally understood that he could not rely on these disloyal and fearless followers who came with him. What he needed was a martial arts expert to contend against Zhao Tianhu. However, how could he recruit a martial arts expert with the little amount of silver he had left …

Only the military general who was kicked out was not too bad. That day, when Yun Duan entered the door, the martial uncle quietly told Master Zhang. This person's kung fu is incredible. He couldn't see through it at all! That Wang Su was also not someone to be trifled with, so naturally the only one that was easy to bully was Zhuang Li …

This was a completely new plan. It was related to whether or not he could smoothly take back the silver from Zhao Tianhu and keep his wife and son. He thought about it for a while and then told the servant in his house.
