Traveling through time and space to become a lady of a noble family, but she only wants to escape

Chapter 174: Breaking the Law

The "genuine" Master Lin gritted his teeth. What Wei Fuguang said was vaguely a threat, and it was a real threat to him. If he was really caught, it would be easy to find out that he was the son of the Qing County Magistrate. He could lose face for himself, but when he went out, he couldn't lose face for his mother.

Wei Fuguang took in Lin Chuqi's expression and said at the right time: "Master Lin, Master Bai, shall I send you a carriage right away?"

"No need, we have a car and a driver." Lin Chuqi said expressionlessly, "Don't bother Master Wei."

He had no choice but to compromise.

Wei Fuguang nodded, very satisfied with the scene.

An hour later, Wei Fuguang watched from afar on the city wall as a carriage drove onto the official road and drove away. She finally breathed a sigh of relief and said to herself, "Other craftsmen are quiet and do whatever they are told to do, but this little kid is the talkative one. What's the matter? Is he relying on his elder sister being the lover of King Jing and taking advantage of King Jing's fame to act arrogantly? Sigh... But even if two ignorant relatives mess up King Jing's achievements, they are enough to be recorded in history, right? How long will it take for me to be recorded in history..."

The ragged and shabby man walked down the city wall while mumbling. Her voice could be heard faintly in the wind: "We have arranged for the last craftsman, it's time to go back..."

It was already the next day when Bai Zhi rode her tired horse to Shiling. She rushed to the city wall first, but was stopped by the city guards, who told the people not to climb the city wall without permission.

At the foot of the mountain-like city wall, Bai Zhi sighed sincerely: "Does this thing need to be reinforced?"

The sergeant beside him chuckled when he heard this, and Bai Zhi took the opportunity to approach him and said, "Brother Jun, may I ask if the craftsman Bai Ying from Qing County, Weizhou, is working on it now?"

The soldier immediately frowned and waved his hands: "Civilians should not ask about military affairs."

Bai Zhi: "..."

Bai Zhi: "Then let me ask you where the residence of the provincial official Wei Fuguang is?"

There was nothing to keep secret. The soldier pointed out the way and Bai Zhi ran all the way there. However, the servants who cleaned the house told her that the master had left the house yesterday. As for where he was going or what he was going to do, no one knew it, let alone he had never heard of the Baiying craftsman who came from Weizhou.

After visiting the governor's house, she went to the county magistrate's office. However, Baizhi had little influence here and she was just looking for someone, there was no unjust case to sue. The constable at the door did not let her in at all. He only gave Baizhi a piece of straw paper and a brush, and asked her to write down the name and hometown of the person she was looking for, and then go through another small door to find the painter inside to paint the portrait, and then post it.

It's totally irrelevant. Bai Zhi's eyes twitched and she threw the paper and pen back.

Coming out of the county magistrate's office, Bai Zhi let out a deep breath and sat down on a tree root by the roadside in a state of frustration.

Where are these two kids? Could it be that they never came to Shiling and went somewhere else?

Isn't this like looking for a needle in a haystack?

Huh... relax, relax, Cheng Mao is still with them, so there is no need to worry about their lives.

Just as he was bowing his head in deep thought, a dirty, muddy, skinny finger stretched out in front of him: "One penny will do the trick."

Bai Zhi looked up and saw that the owner of the muddy fingers was dirty from the fingertips to the wrists and then to the clothes. His entire face was blocked by messy and tangled hair, so he could only vaguely make out that it was a human face.

The next moment, Bai Zhi smelled a long-awaited sour smell.

"One meal can end the problem." said the man.

Bai Zhi: "..."

Just now I said that a single article can make the final decision, so I can change it at any time.

But it didn't matter whether it was a meal or a penny. She didn't have the time to deal with this kind of person, so she stood up and waved her hand: "I don't have anything to say, you can ask someone else."

The trapped horse was gnawing on the tree roots under Baizhi's buttocks. She grabbed the reins and walked away, planning to go to the people living at the city gate to ask about it. There was an old lady selling big bowls of tea at the gate of Qing County. She greeted and saw off so many people every day. She remembered everything that was special.

The person behind him suddenly said, "You are looking for someone."

Bai Zhi turned around suddenly, unable to hide her surprise: "How did you know?"

Guess? Or do you really have some ability?

The man still held up a finger: "One meal ends the matter."

Bai Zhi: "..."

Okay, let’s give it a try.

There is a single table next to the door of the Wazi Braised Rice Restaurant on the street in Shiling County. Customers coming in and out of the restaurant frequently glance at this table - it's because they haven't seen such a slovenly person for a long time.

Bai Zhi sat at the table, looking at the dirty man opposite her who was sweeping away everything in his path, and sighed imperceptibly.

Why does she put her hope in fortune-telling? Is she crazy?

But since I'm here, I have to ask a few questions, no matter if it works or not, otherwise the money spent on the meal will be wasted.

The man was eating and suddenly raised his head: "You are upset."

"…Just eat it, why are you talking nonsense? Have you finished eating? Pay for it quickly after you finish eating."

The man raised a finger.

Bai Zhi said unhappily, "What's the matter? You want to end the matter with just one meal? Aren't we eating right now?"

The man said, "Another bowl."

Bai Zhi: "..."

First it was a penny, then a meal, and now he wants another bowl. No matter how you look at it, he is just a charlatan who eats and drinks for free.

This person seemed to see what Bai Zhi was thinking, and said, "I'm a mortal, but you have a good eye for me, so I'll give you a meal."

"You're only targeting people you like, right?" Bai Zhi called the waiter, "Give me another bowl of stewed clay pot!"

Well, just consider it as her doing good deeds.

I don't know how many days this dirty man had been hungry. He ate four bowls of stewed rice before he finally stopped. Bai Zhi knocked on the table: "Have you finished eating?"

This person: “Okay.”

Bai Zhi: "Let's start with the calculation?"

The man tapped the empty bowl with a chopstick and said, "In the early years, the stewed pot was made with meat, but later due to the continuous wars and poverty, it was replaced with water. This is a sign of decline but not extinction. The person you are looking for will be in danger, but will be able to survive."

“…This is too far-fetched.”

The man turned a deaf ear and held up three fingers: "The three people you are looking for are in the southwest direction."

Bai Zhi opened her eyes slightly wide, and the three people she was looking for were indeed the ones she was looking for.

"There are many cities in the southwest. Please be more specific."

This person suddenly held out a chopstick to Bai Zhi and said, "Tell me your date of birth."

"Do you need my birth date to locate it?"

"It has nothing to do with it."

"Then how..."

"Say it."

Bai Zhi took a deep breath to avoid being pissed off by this person, and after thinking for a moment, she reported it. She didn't know her own birthday, so she reported the birthday of the original owner, Miss Bai Zhi.

The man closed his eyes and thought for a while, then suddenly jumped up and sat on the dining table. All the empty bowls fell to the ground and broke into pieces with a few crisp sounds. The dirty face approached Bai Zhi suddenly, and his two dry hands tightly grasped Bai Zhi's shoulders like clamps, his eyes widened as if they were about to pop out. Bai Zhi didn't dodge much. With her current ability, she didn't need to dodge - she wanted to see what this man was going to do.

The man's lips trembled in extreme fear, and he shouted in a hoarse voice: "You were supposed to die at the age of seventeen, how come you are still alive today!"
