Chapter 33

                                    

                                          
Number Four had shared with Shi Lisa only because she was the wife of Young Master Xiao and was the disciple of an old immortal.
Of course, everyone in the county knew a little of their new magistrate’s background.
Shi Lisa was extremely surprised. “His identity is so awesome!”
She asked in puzzlement, “With such an awesome identity, why did he come to our Nanxi county to become a magistrate?”
Number Four shook his head. “I don’t know about that. Everyone also has similar doubts.
“I heard that he voluntarily applied to come to Nanxi county.”
He said with uncertainty, “Maybe our Nanxi county has some outstanding talents?”
Shi Lisa muttered, I guess you can forget about it.
She didn’t see any outstanding people or outstanding talents in this lousy place.
Shi Lisa had been skilfully engaging in a stilted conversation with Number Four and Number Five.
She had also known a lot more about the county.
For example, the Wu family had a good relationship with the former county magistrate, so the Bai family had to give way.
Because of this, the Bai family was suppressed by the Wu family.
Now that the new county magistrate was here, the Bai family was the happiest.
The Bai family owned a bodyguards agency in the county, and the Wu family owned a bank.
Only these two businesses didn’t clash, otherwise, they would be competitors.
For example, the largest restaurant, the silk and satin house, and the embroidery workshop in Nanxi’s town were all run by the two families.
The two families operated on very similar businesses, hence their backgrounds were also very similar.
The Bai family’s brother-in-law was a fourth-rank official in the capital, while the Wu family’s brother-in-law was a fourth-rank magistrate.
However, the Bai family’s wife was even better.
Bai family’s sister was the first wife, while Wu family’s sister was only a magistrate’s mistress.
Shi Lisa hence decided that she should befriend the Bai family.
Her enemy’s enemy could still be her friends.
Shi Lisa also tried to ask many questions about the new county magistrate, but Number Four did not know.
Clearly, the Bai family was not at that level yet.
As they chatted, they arrived at the Bai residence.
The Bai residence encompassed a very large land space.
It looked like those owned by the tycoons, but also lost some of its ancient feel.
Number Four and Number Five were Young Master Bai’s personal servants, and were used to observing people.
When they saw Shi Lisa enter the Bai Residence with a calm and casual look, they were shocked.
In the past, when people came to the Bai residence, they would look around and repeatedly exclaim about the heroic building.
Other than looking slightly sallow and thin, this Young Master Xiao’s wife really did not look like an ordinary person.
As expected of an old immortal’s disciple.
Compared to Scholar Xiao’s mother who was beside her, they could tell that she was nervous.
