If Li Yuezhu hadn't seen that shocking face after Uncle Tiezhu's kidnapping, he would have been blinded by the ordinary-looking county magistrate.

"That man is definitely not as simple as he seems on the surface. You must be wary of him."

Li Yuezhu didn't intend to reveal the man's true identity, but he also didn't want his friends to be careless.

"What kind of background does he have? Speaking of which, he has some involvement with you, Yuezhu."

Li Yuezhu returned to the table, poured himself a glass of water, and took a sip. Because the tea became cold, he put it down and stopped drinking.

"I have carefully investigated the identity of this county magistrate myself before, and found that he is inextricably linked to the Wu Mansion in the capital."

Chen Jiuying felt strange now.

"When did you investigate? Why didn't I know?"

"I started investigating the last time my sister-in-law was imprisoned, but unfortunately, I have few connections. It was only through my brother's connections that I was able to investigate to this level."

"Wu Mansion? Wu Minzhen?"

"right."

Lin Xinghuai felt uncomfortable when he heard the name, as if he was bitten by insects.

"The name of this county is Lin Ping. He is the younger brother of Mr. Wu's eighth concubine. He also bought this official position. He has made no achievements at all. He is just a freeloader."

Although Lin Xinghuai said this, he still felt a little strange in his heart.

"But they seemed to be trying their best to hide this relationship, so I checked for so long and only got the news yesterday."

Mediocre? Nothing? Dinner?

Could it be that she had made a mistake and the man sitting in the hall was not the one who had charmed her that day?

Li Yuezhu couldn't figure it out no matter how hard he thought about it.

"Master Wu arranged a good position for him before, but he was replaced by this man named Lin Ping, so he came to our Ankang County and became such a small county captain."

Li Yuezhu listened like this for the time being, but she always felt that this matter was not that simple.

The days passed in such an orderly manner, and Huilian also arranged a time for Li Yuezhu to meet with the man named Gao Ming.

Because Gao Ming's reputation was so great, even though there were many well-known businessmen in the capital of Ankang County, Li Yuezhu waited for more than ten days before Gao Ming took an afternoon to meet with Li Yuezhu.

Rouge's health has also improved a lot in the past few days, at least she doesn't look so weak on the surface.

"Master, I'll do it for you."

Rouge has been no longer idle since she was able to get up and move around, because she also blamed herself for what happened last time, and felt that her kung fu had deteriorated a lot over the years, so she spent all day practicing basic skills in the yard.

Naturally, Xiao An and Xiao Yuan would not miss such a good opportunity.

Although they still go to the house next door every day, everyone in the house next door seems to have gone out. When a few people walked past, no one could be seen in the yard, let alone practicing martial arts secretly.

Xiao An and Xiao Yuan learned a lot of moves from Qin Wu, but for children with zero basic knowledge, they can only draw shapes and it is difficult to draw bones.

During the half month that Yanzhi was resting at home, in addition to practicing dance by herself, she also had to teach three children.

After all, the three youngest ones were only six or seven years old, just about the age to learn martial arts. Yanzhi could also tell that Xiao An liked martial arts very much, Hu Zi was also very interested, and Xiao Yuan seemed to be more stable and not interested in this kind of thing.

not against.

I first taught them basic skills and then let them practice alone. Because they went to school to fight all day long, they sometimes came back with bruises and swollen faces. In recent days, the injuries on their faces have been reduced a lot.

"Rouge, okay, I'm not a child anymore, and my hair doesn't need to be tied up in a bun."

"How can this be done? Even if the young master wears men's clothing now, he must be dressed neatly and neatly."

Yanzhi stayed here not only to train the three children, but also to learn etiquette from Li Yuezhu.

"Oh, I got it, I got it."

Li Yuezhu hates pickling the most, just like her mother, who does it endlessly.

I chose an emerald green hairpin with a lifelike phoenix engraved on it, but the style was too tough, and I could tell at a glance that it was worn by a man.

"Have you prepared all the things I asked you to prepare?"

"It's all ready, put it in the basket next to it."

Rouge also answered in an orderly manner.

"I went to see Gao Ming today, but I didn't expect his home to be so close to ours."

Li Yuezhu only found out the address of his home two days ago. Although his family is in Suzhou and Hangzhou, it does not prevent him from buying a house in this city.

"Yes! Rich people like to buy houses in Dongcheng District. It is quiet and can show their status. They are smart and not short of money. Naturally, they will not wrong themselves."

Yanzhi told the truth, and Li Yuezhu did not refute it.

After the two people packed up, they carried a box and headed to Gao Ming's house.

Because the two families were not far apart, Li Yuezhu did not take a carriage. If he really took a carriage, he would have arrived before he could even get on the hot seat. It would be better for the two of them to wander over directly.

"Buy a garland, a beautiful garland."

A little girl sat in the shadows. She was still very depressed. She had been sitting here all morning. It was all because Xiaomei told her that the people in Dongcheng District were very rich. If they sold garlands from here, they would definitely sell them.

After offering a good price, she sneaked over without telling her brother.

"Brother or sister, do you want a wreath?"

This child's little face is dirty and her lips are chapped. It seems that she has been standing here for a long time. Qiuhu also makes people feel very irritated. The bright sun and even the cool breeze cannot make people feel refreshed.

"Why do you, a little girl, come here to sell garlands?"

Li Yuezhu was a little surprised. There were very few people walking around in Dongcheng District. If you wanted to sell something, it would be a big mistake to come to a place like this.

"Because Xiaomei said the people here are very rich."

Li Yuezhu saw the desire in the little girl's eyes, and took out a peach and a tomato from the basket behind her and put them in the girl's hands.

"Then show me how your wreaths look like. If they are good, I will buy a few."

After hearing this, the little girl's eyes were bright. She immediately took out a basket from the shadows, opened the cloth on it, and placed strings of beautiful garlands inside quietly.

Li Yuezhu stood three meters away from the little girl, and he could smell the fragrance of flowers from such a distance.

"It's really beautiful! Did you make all of these?"

Seeing that she was encouraged, the little girl's face flushed with excitement, and she put the basket in front of Li Yuezhu again.

"Brother, just buy a few garlands. These are the flowers I went out to pick this morning. They are guaranteed to be fresh. You can take a look."

Li Yuezhu was not a cruel person. Seeing the little girl's eager look, he reached out and touched the girl's head.

Even though Li Yuezhu is not that big, this little girl is even thinner and even more shy when her head is touched.

"How can you sell these words?"

"Two cents each."

The little girl answered very nervously. In the past, when she was on the street, no one would buy one for a penny. This time, it was Xiaomei who gave her the idea. She had to sell one for two pennies when she came here.

"Two cents..."

Li Yuezhu picked up a garland and put it on her head, so she was dressed in men's clothing, which was better than her age. After putting on the garland, she looked more like an angel flying down from the sky.

"Brother, if you think it's too expensive, three pennies for two is fine."

The little girl said nervously, her little eyes darting around, and she didn't have any good ideas at first glance.

Li Yuezhu took out all the garlands from the somewhat broken basket and placed them in the basket in Yanzhi's hand.

"I want all your flowers, there are 20 of them in total."

Li Yuezhu took out a silver barley seed from his arms and put it in the little girl's hand.

"Take the basket and leave quickly. Before leaving, my brother will tell you a little secret."

Li Yuezhu leaned into the girl's ear and whispered mysteriously.

"Selling garlands like this is of no use at all. If you take these garlands to the temple for consecration every day, and tell others that they are consecrated garlands when you sell them, someone will still want them even if you sell them for 100 cents each."

After Li Yuezhu said these words, he left without looking back, leaving the little girl behind, holding the silver in one hand and holding the basket in deep thought.

When she saw the one tael of silver in her hand, Li Yuezhu no longer knew where she was going.
