Traveling back in time to a female virtuous novel, she was forced to make money to support her famil

From that day on, the people were surprised to find that the figure they were already familiar with always went to Ruan's house happily, only to be driven out in despair again and again.

The king of Donglong County even said that he would beat her every time he saw her.

However, the county magistrate did not seem to take her threats to heart and continued to visit as persistently as before.

Perhaps it was her persistence that moved God. Finally, the emperor paid off. The young master was moved by the sincerity of the county magistrate. Regardless of the obstruction of the Donglong County King, he resolutely walked out of the Ruan family gate and headed towards the county government office.

To say that the person the King of Donglong County hates the most in Longcheng is undoubtedly the county magistrate.

"Say, you are just farmers, why are you stabbing people in Longcheng?"

Faced with the sudden imprisonment, several women seemed panicked. They looked at the interrogating magistrate with horrified eyes.

"Excuse me, magistrate. We are villagers at the foot of Taihuang Mountain. After the mountain bandits were surrounded and suppressed by adults, the people in our village farmed honestly, just to find a way to survive. However, when winter came, there was no harvest from the grains planted. .

Someone came to the village yesterday. She said that as long as we go to Longcheng and make random gestures with knives, and arrest a few boys to pretend to threaten and create chaos, she will give us enough silver and food for the winter. "

"Sir, there is really nothing we can do, please forgive me."

With tears streaming down their faces, the women explained everything in detail.

The world is difficult. If it were not for survival, who would dare to do those things that are harmful to nature and justice.

Mu Yan carefully observed their facial expressions and knew that they were not lying.

When all the bandits on Taihuang Mountain were wiped out, didn't the King of Donglong County properly resettle the villagers?
What exactly is going on?

"The person you are trading with is Dong Cheng who showed up today?"

The ladies nodded quickly, "It's her, but we don't know her name."

Mu Yan was thoughtful, is this strange?

How could Dong Cheng, a merchant from Longcheng, put so much effort into doing so many things.

She had escaped from prison, so why didn't she just go out of the city to save her life, but why did she return to Longcheng and throw herself into a trap?
According to Su Jishan's investigation, Dong Cheng does not know martial arts, so she is ready to fight to the death today.

She pushed the young master forward so that she could assassinate him.

wrong!

Mu Yan suddenly sat up and said, "Su Jishan, let them go, and tell Meng Da'an to take people to Taihuang Village and settle the villagers."

The villagers are innocent to begin with, so there is no need to embarrass them.

Hearing that the villagers were overjoyed, they knelt down and thanked them, "Thank you so much, magistrate, for sparing our lives."

Dong Cheng was held in solitary confinement, and Mu Yan seemed to be ready to die when he saw the lifeless expression on her face.

"You want to die now, don't you want to save your family?"

Dong Cheng raised his head and glanced at Mu Yan indifferently, then lowered his head.

"You really don't care about your family. I didn't expect Boss Dong to be so hard-hearted. Do you know what will happen to the girl in your family who is under ten years old if you do this?"

Dong Cheng raised his head and stared at the window of the cell. The cold chill penetrated the barrier and made people shiver.

"Even if I don't do it, they won't survive."

She shouldn't have coveted wealth in the first place, otherwise she wouldn't have harmed her family.

"Are you so sure that they won't survive, or do you mean that you didn't want them to survive at all, and you went to great lengths to design this scene just to deepen the conflict between me and Prince Donglong County."

Dong Cheng suddenly looked fierce and stared at Mu Yan closely.

"Ruan Jing won't let me go, so I will use her brother as a backing. After death, she will become a wild ghost and enjoy her brother. Why don't I do such a good thing?"

Mu Yan's eyes were cold, knowing that this person was irritating her, but she should never use the young master to slander him.

The anger in his heart became even stronger, and he stepped forward and stepped on her injured leg.

"You are irritating me now just to let me kill you, and you will be fine." Mu Yan looked at her condescendingly, "Don't worry, I won't let you get what you want. Since you abandoned your family, you still have to protect your master. This How could a loyal dog let you die so easily.”

To be honest, Mu Yan didn't understand what these people were thinking. Could it be that the life of his family was not worth as much as a stranger.

"By the way, before I came to the cell, people from the Donglong County Prince's Mansion sent news that they found a man in black in Dong's Mansion. If they hadn't acted faster, your husband and girl would have been in hell long ago. "

Hearing this, Dong Cheng's eyes finally felt a little moved, as if he couldn't believe it.

"Did you really find the man in black?"

Could it be that that person really lied to her? He clearly said that as long as he completed this mission, he could save his family.

A sneer appeared at the corner of Mu Yan's lips, "The man in black has a black spot on his wrist."

Dong Cheng gritted his teeth and clenched his fists tightly. They were really lying to her. They were lying to her about saving the lives of his family and promising her great wealth.

It's all her fault for being so obsessed that she drove herself to a dead end.

"Hahaha……"

Mu Yan watched her going crazy quietly. It was normal for people to find it difficult to accept the truth once they knew it.

Unexpectedly, the person she accidentally saw during the day was actually Dong Cheng's accomplice.

She was just trying to trick someone, but Dong Cheng actually reacted like this.

It's not like all her words were in vain.

After a long time, Dong Cheng finally calmed down, and she looked at Mu Yan pleadingly.

"Lord Magistrate, I can tell you everything. Can you save my child?"

The girl in the family who is under ten years old is her only tie. She doesn't care about the life or death of others, she just wants the girl to live.

Although Dong Cheng is not a good wife and mother, he is a good mother and father. Unfortunately, he makes one wrong step and another wrong step.

Mu Yan knelt down and said, "Say."

Everyone will have weaknesses. As long as you grasp this weakness, no matter how high your mental defense is, it will collapse instantly.

Dong Cheng sighed, "Before I came to Longcheng, I lived in Fucheng and did some small business. I could barely support my family.

Three years ago, a man in black suddenly appeared in front of me and said that as long as I served my master, I would be rich and prosperous.

At that time, she gave me a full 1000 taels of silver. I had never seen so much silver since I was a child. I was so happy that I believed her words on the spot. "

Mu Yan asked calmly, "What is her purpose in letting you come to Longcheng?"

Dong Cheng climbed up with difficulty and sat down, "She asked me to monitor every move of the King of Donglong County, and to cooperate with their actions in Longcheng."

Mu Yan asked further, "Do you know who they are?"

Dong Cheng thought for a moment, "One time when I was drunk, the man in black made a mistake, as if her master was from the court. I don't know who she is, but I know that they have spies in Longcheng. "

There are people from the court, and they have a clear purpose to target Ruan Jing.

She didn't know much about the affairs of the court, so she could only ask the prince about many things.

"Do you know who the informants in Longcheng are?"

Just as Dong Cheng was about to say something, an arrow suddenly came from nowhere and pierced her neck quickly and accurately.

Mu Yan hurriedly ran out to check, but there was no sign of him anywhere.

　I finally caught up and cried to death.
