A Good Show

Shao Qingyuan had already roughly connected the cause and effect of the matter according to the time period Young Master Qiu had mentioned.

He thanked the county magistrate and was about to leave.

The county magistrate wanted Shao Qingyuan to stay for dinner and a chat. As the county magistrate of a remote county, he really wanted to know what had happened in the capital.

However, Shao Qingyuan had promised Gu Yundong that he would go back earlier. He could only politely reject the county magistrate's invitation and refuse his help in sending bailiffs to Great Rock Village. He promised to come back for a drink with him after he was done.

Only then did the county magistrate let him go back in satisfaction. He told Shao Qingyuan to do whatever he wanted and come to him if he needed help.

Only then did Shao Qingyuan leave in a cold sweat.
