him the guts to make such a promise to others.""It's crazy that these two uncles actually believed it, aren't they foolish""They're not really stupid," Fang Jinshu said with a cold smile."You're also..."Get up first."

"This matter is of great importance, I must first confirm the truth of your words before writing a petition to report to the court."

Fang Jinxiu hurriedly said, "It's too late."

"I swear on my life that everything I said was true. If even half of what I said is false, then you may arrest and imprison me."

Moreover, these scouts from the Wu Meng Kingdom wouldn't give the imperial court time to slowly counterattack. By the time you confirmed truth from falsehood, they would have long since vanished into thin air from the mountains.

After that, Fang Jinshi held back her words, fearing that by then Zong Yu's life and death would already be sealed.

Pan Zhi'an hesitated for a long time, frowning and pacing back and forth in the room, Fang Jinshi's gaze followed him.

Right now, besides relying on the imperial court's power to find Zongyu's honor, there is no other way.

Pan Zhi'an suddenly stopped, looking deeply at Fang Jinyu.

"I hope Madam Zong is not exaggerating out of desperation to save her husband."

Fang Jinshi quickly shook her head, "I would never deceive you."

Pan Zhi'an strode to the desk and sat down, picking up his pen and starting to write on paper with a flurry of strokes.

After finishing, he personally called the manager over and said to Fang Jinshu in front of her.

This imperial edict was sent to the capital city in haste, covering 800 li in just a few days. It must be quick!

It was rare to see Master Pan look so solemn. After receiving the imperial decree, he quickly went to attend to it.

Pan Zhian turned back to look at Fang Jinxiu.

"You needn't worry too much. Your husband seems quite capable, he'll surely look after himself."

You said that mountain range is closer to Yuzhou City. If these scouts are really trying to infiltrate our great Xi, they would either come down from your village and enter Luoshui.

Another place you could go is Yuzhou.

“I immediately wrote a letter and sent someone to the magistrate of Yuzhou. I asked them to strengthen their defenses and help find traces of Zongyu.”

When Fang Jinshi heard this, she nodded repeatedly, her face brimming with gratitude.

"Thank you, Lord Pan."

"Then, then don't we need to send people to handle the mountain"

Actually, she wanted to hear Pan Zhi'an dispatch soldiers to the mountain. Since these foreign spies had snuck in quietly, they would definitely not dare to confront Da Xi's soldiers head-on.

Maybe they will leave on their own if they see the soldiers coming to search the mountain.

Pan Zhi'an saw through Fang Jinshu's thoughts and said helplessly.

You don't understand people from the Wumeng Nation. They won't leave until they finish their mission.

Sending people up the mountain will only startle the snakes and might even bring your husband unnecessary danger.

Fang Jinxiu lowered her head and stopped talking. She knew Pan Zhian was right, and his arrangements were the best option for now.

He was a county magistrate, and any decision he made would never be solely for the sake of one individual. He always considered the bigger picture.

She could neither threaten Pan Zhi'an nor persuade him.

When she came out of the county office, Fang Jinshu's expression was a bit listless.

As soon as she looked up, she saw a carriage parked at the door. The coachman saw her and came down to greet her respectfully.

"Miss Zong, my master has come to take you back."

Zhao Xingzhou got out of the car and walked quickly two steps to Fang Jinshi's side.

How do I get out

"What's so important that you need to discuss it with Pan Zhi'an" There was a hint of displeasure in his voice. After speaking, he felt it was inappropriate and afraid Fang Jinshi would notice, so he quickly changed his words.

"Just tell me what you need, and I'll take care of it. The County Magistrate is incredibly busy; she doesn't have time to worry about every single person's problems."

But I am different, I can do anything you need.

Fang Jinshi originally wanted to say it wasn't necessary, but then she thought of something, and her steps suddenly stopped.

"You can really do anything"that the first two auction items hadn't gone well and hadn't warmed up the crowd, so they brought out a very substantial item for the third one."A century-old top-grade Ganoderma lucidum."The starting...
