Chapter 674: Full-level Boss Dressed As a Peasant Girl
A treatment prescription? Of course not.
Shu Yu wasn't a doctor, so she didn't have the ability to treat his illness.
However, the prescription did contain several herbs that could help soothe his mind and alleviate the pain in his shoulders. Soaking his feet at night would also enable him to have a peaceful sleep without nightmares.
As for the other irrelevant ingredients in the prescription, such as ash, yellow talisman water, and the like, they were just there to make it seem more like a concoction from a fraudulent fortune teller.
"After tonight, he will undoubtedly believe my words wholeheartedly," Shu Yu said with confidence.
Da Ya suddenly understood. "But soaking his feet is only a temporary solution. In the long run, if he continues to feel unwell, won't he come after us?"
Shu Yu wore a mysterious expression. "That depends on him having an opportunity."
"What do you mean?"
"Sis, you know about master Lan's situation, right?"
"Yes."
"Do you know why it became such a big deal?" It had become a topic that everyone in the streets and alleys knew about.
That was because the county magistrate wanted to impress the provincial magistrate. Sensing the Prefect magistrate's disapproval, the county magistrate urgently wanted to achieve something to prove his impartiality. He hoped to divert the governor's attention, which is why he became especially invested in master Lan's case.
Although master Lan was imprisoned, the aftermath of his case was still ongoing.
Shu Yu deliberately led boss He to the place where the Min family girl's body was found. Once he went there, the officials involved in master Lan's case would naturally take notice.
Why would someone unrelated to the Min family go there to pay respects? It seemed highly suspicious.
Therefore, they would definitely investigate boss He. boss He might be the local leader, and he could usually get away with bribing the officials and establishing connections, but with the Prefect magistrate's present, who would dare commit crimes under his nose?
At the very least, boss He didn't have the connections strong enough to make people risk their lives for him. After all, if he, as a local leader, feared the Bureau, how could he have powerful connections?
Once the officials began investigating boss He, considering his reputation as a local leader, he had likely committed numerous misdeeds in the past. If they discovered any significant crimes, they wouldn't let him off easily.
Shu Yu believed that she was doing a service to the people.
Of course, even if he managed to escape this time, there would be a second time. She would have many more opportunities to visit the county town, and she still had her secret weapon.
Da Ya was amazed by Shu Yu's foresight. "Ah Yu, you're truly amazing. You've thought so far ahead, even blocking boss He's path."
Hmm? Wait a minute...
"What if boss He exposes you? What if he says that you instructed him to pay respects at the Min family girl's grave?"
Shu Yu shrugged. "If he exposes me, so be it. As a weak and helpless woman, my words were spoken out of self-preservation in the face of danger. People will understand. Besides, I haven't lied. I really do have a master, the head of Dongqing Temple. I have learned a bit of physiognomy from him, and I have no regrets about what I said."
Da Ya fell silent.
The way Shu Yu put it actually made sense.
While they were talking, they had arrived in front of their family's small stall.
Da Ya pointed to the stalls lined up ahead and said, "This is the one."
Shu Yu looked up and saw Ruan Shi busy at the stall, her face beaming with a radiant smile.
***Tl's note:
Prefect Magistrate (Zhōu or Fǔ)
• Prefect magistrates were appointed to govern larger administrative units known as prefectures (zhōu). Prefectures encompassed several counties and were typically located in important regional centers.
• Prefect magistrates were responsible for maintaining law and order, collecting taxes, administering justice, and overseeing various aspects of local governance within their jurisdictions.
• Prefect magistrates often had broader powers and more extensive administrative responsibilities compared to county magistrates.
County Magistrate (Xiàn)
• County magistrates governed smaller administrative units called counties (xiàn), which were subdivisions of prefectures.
• County magistrates were primarily responsible for maintaining social order, resolving disputes, and collecting taxes at the local level.
• They acted as the primary representatives of the central government within their counties and implemented policies and regulations issued by the prefect magistrates or higher authorities.
Incase you are wondering what's the difference of prefect magistrate to county magistrate.
