C389 disaster

Liu Zhimo relaxed his body and mind, adding Old Man Xue's treatment, his injuries healed extremely quickly. In less than ten days, he could already walk with flying speed.

As soon as his wounds healed, he decided to go to the yamen.

He hadn't gone to the yamen for a while, so he wondered how the yamen was doing.

Was Magistrate Ma sure?

Although Magistrate Ma would come to find him if he met him with problems that he couldn't handle, he was still a little worried.

Furthermore, there were a lot of things to do at the yamen, which would be very tiring if all of them fell to Magistrate Ma alone.

Li Qingling knew what he was thinking, and didn't stop him either. He only warned him again and again to take care of his body and not be tired.

Liu Zhimo nodded his head repeatedly, telling her that he would not joke with his body, and assured her.

Li Qingling acknowledged, and personally saw him out of the courtyard.

"There's no need to send me off. Go back and get some sleep. Be good …" Liu Zhimo stroked Li Qingling's head, gently coaxing her.

He didn't want her to wake up so early, but she refused to listen and insisted on giving it to him.

He didn't know what to do with her. It made him feel helpless and touched.

Li Qingling raised her head and kissed him on the corner of her mouth, pushing him gently to let him go first, she would go back to sleep later.

Liu Zhimo sighed, kissed her forehead, and turned to leave.

Halfway there, he couldn't help but turn around and see her standing at the door, smiling and waving at him. He pursed his lips into a smile and shouted at her, "Let's go back!"

She turned around slowly and went back to her room to sleep.

Liu Zhimo stood at his original position for a moment, then raised his leg and left.

The moment he went to the yamen, Magistrate Ma stared at him wide-eyed. He rubbed his eyes in disbelief, "Master?" He isn't seeing things, right? The lord had really come?

Liu Zhimo looked at him with a faint smile, then nodded slightly and asked him how was the yamen doing.

"Master, it's really you? Are you ready? " Magistrate Ma walked up in pleasant surprise, and looked at Liu Zhimo with shining eyes.

After knowing that his lord had been injured, he felt guilty and did not follow him up the mountain.

If he followed his lordship up the mountain, he might encounter some bad things that could help his lordship block the path, and not be guilty or anxious.

Fortunately, the lord had found him, and his life wasn't in danger. Otherwise, he really would have to apologize with his death.

"Could there be a second Liu Zhimo? "Hmm?" Liu Zhimo ridiculed Magistrate Ma, "Magistrate Ma, do you know how much you miss me?"

"..." Master was not switched, it was still the same Master. Magistrate Ma breathed a sigh of relief, and scratched his head while laughing, "Master, you must be joking." He was very normal. He really had no interest in adults. He was just worrying about his wounds.

Liu Zhimo smiled as he glanced at Magistrate Ma, then lifted his leg and walked towards his table. He touched the table, and when he saw that there was not a single speck of dust on it, he knew that it was Magistrate Ma who helped him clean it.

He reached out and patted Magistrate Ma's shoulder, thanking him.

Magistrate Ma immediately waved his hands, saying that he should do what he had to do.

It is not a big deal to help you clean the table every day. How can I afford to thank you?

However, the lord's attitude towards him made him very touched.

With such a good leader, his heart was at ease.

Liu Zhimo sat on a chair, letting Magistrate Ma report to him about what had happened in the yamen during this period.

Magistrate Ma straightened his expression and told the whole thing in detail.

After Liu Zhimo finished listening, he looked up at Magistrate Ma and spoke with a serious expression: "Thank you for your hard work during this period, Magistrate Ma." If it were not for Magistrate Ma watching over the yamen, he would not have been able to recuperate peacefully.

It could be said that Magistrate Ma had helped him immensely.

Seeing that his lord's expression was so serious, he thought that he didn't do well enough, but it turns out …

Magistrate Ma secretly heaved a sigh of relief, and laughed, saying that this was something he should do, and not tiring.

To be able to get the praise of the County Magistrate, no matter how hard it was, it would not be hard …

Liu Zhimo didn't say anything more. He would remember everything Magistrate Ma had done, and wouldn't let him do it for nothing.

Magistrate Ma clenched his fingers, looked at Liu Zhimo, and was about to say something.

"What's wrong? "If you have something to say, just say it directly. Don't stammer."

After taking in a deep breath, Magistrate Ma asked Liu Zhimo in a straightforward manner.

He had held this question in his heart for a long time, and now he had finally asked it.

I wonder if it was done by those four families? If it was, then he … He would definitely think of a way to make those four families pay.

Liu Zhimo glanced at him and said, "I don't know, I didn't find anything."

"Lord, do you think it might be those four families …"

"Magistrate Ma..." Liu Zhimo interrupted Magistrate Ma, the walls had ears, and could not speak carelessly, "You do not need to care about this matter, I know what happened at the yamen, you take care of the matters there, and consider it helping me out." He could not drag Magistrate Ma into the water.

There was someone by his side protecting him but Magistrate Ma did not. If something were to happen to him, then Tian Tian really should not have screamed like that.

Be it in public or private, he did not wish to see anything happen to Magistrate Ma.

Magistrate Ma's heart sank as he silently nodded, and said yes.

Seeing the warning in Liu Zhimo's eyes, he did not dare to ask anymore. Presumably, the Lord had some sort of countermeasure.

If he were to ask again, it would be a crime to sabotage his lordship's plans.

Liu Zhimo's expression slowed down, and he asked Magistrate Ma. Why hasn't he come to his house to play recently?

Magistrate Ma chuckled and said that his four little monkeys were too naughty. They would disturb his rest so they were forced to study at home and not let him go out to play.

"Cultivating martial arts is the last thing you should do. Tell them when you get home tonight that they should come back tomorrow morning."

"Good, good, good. Thank you, my lord."

The four little monkeys had long wanted to go play with the young masters. He was the one who forcefully restrained them, so he didn't dare to go.

Liu Zhimo waved his hand at him, then lowered his head and continued working on his own matters.

Magistrate Ma left with a meaningful look, returning back to his seat to work.

Since the lord had come to the yamen, he was able to relieve a lot of the pressure.

He stretched out his hand and patted his shoulder which was a little stiff. He pursed his lips and smiled, he did not expect that the lord would become his backbone. During this period of time, the lord was not at the yamen.

As soon as his lordship arrived today, he felt that he had a backbone and wasn't afraid of anything anymore.

Who would have thought that a teenager would become his pillar of support?

Seriously … The world is unpredictable!

He raised his head and glanced at Liu Zhimo who was working seriously, and sighed in his heart, before lowering his head and continuing with his work.

When it was almost noon, the yamen runner quickly walked in front of Liu Zhimo and told him in a low voice that Wu Mei of Wutong Village had something to report to Master.

Wu Mei?

Liu Zhimo raised his head for the bailiff to quickly invite her in.

Don't know what she's doing here? Would it be good news? He had some anticipation in his heart.

Wu Mei had tightly wrapped herself, and only her eyes could be seen. She raised her head and timidly looked at Liu Zhimo, and asked Liu Zhimo if she could find a place without people, that she had something to say to him.

Ever since she knew that County Magistrate was injured, her heart had struggled for a long time. It was only today that she finally had the courage to come.

He didn't know if she was right or wrong in coming here.

Furthermore, he didn't know if she still had a life to leave the yamen?

Whether he won or lost, it all depended on this gamble.

Liu Zhimo asked Wu Mei to remove the cloth that was wrapped around her face. He wanted to confirm if she was really here or not.

Wu Mei looked around and asked Liu Zhimo. Could he let the yamen runner go further away?

Liu Zhimo waved to the bailiff, and waited for the bailiff to retreat to the back before Wu Mei gently removed half of the cloth from her face.

After carefully sizing her up a few times, Liu Zhimo confirmed that the person in front of him was indeed Wu Mei.

He called Magistrate Ma and the two of them brought him to the rear end of the house.

Once they were gone, Wu Mei plopped down on her knees, begging Liu Zhimo to save their family.

Liu Zhimo's brows furrowed, allowing her to stand up and speak properly — what was going on?

With that, he looked at Magistrate Ma again, and indicated for him to remember the words in the case.

Magistrate Ma nodded slightly, indicating that he understood and was relieved.

Wu Mei slowly stood up and started talking with her runny nose.

If not for her father-in-law's constant urging, she would never have dared to take such a huge risk to find Liu Zhimo and tell him everything.

Once this matter was said, her entire family's life would be tied to Liu Zhimo, she hoped that Liu Zhimo would not disappoint her.

Hearing that, Liu Zhimo clenched his fists and asked Wu Mei if what he said was true.

"My lord, if this humble woman were to lie, it would be like thunder striking the sky." Wu Mei raised three of his fingers and swore to the heavens.

She did not have the guts to lie to County Magistrate.

Liu Zhimo looked at Wu Mei seriously, and after confirming that she was not lying, he nodded his head with a serious expression, telling her to be at ease, he would investigate thoroughly.

"Master, this humble woman … The common woman took great risks to find an adult. Hopefully … I hope sire can help this humble woman's family. " With that, Wu Mei knelt down again and kowtowed to Liu Zhimo a few times. She did not dare imagine how she would treat the Liu Zhimo family if those people knew about this.

"Hurry, get up. Don't worry, I'll send people to protect you in the dark. I won't put you in danger."

Hearing that, Wu Mei's heart relaxed a little, and she became even more confident in Liu Zhimo, believing that he would take care of all the bad guys.

"Thank you, milord."

"Of course."

"Lord, this humble woman can't come out for too long, she has to go back."

Liu Zhimo replied and assured her that she would be able to go back safely. He did not need to reveal anything strange in front of outsiders, everything was fine as usual.

"Yes, milord." Wu Mei nodded, "This humble woman will take her leave."

After Wu Mei left, Liu Zhimo shouted "Bighead" into the air. Under Magistrate Ma's confused expression, a "Bighead" dressed in black appeared in front of him, and respectfully asked Liu Zhimo, "What is it?"

Liu Zhimo told them to secretly protect Wu Mei and her family, so that nothing would happen to them.
