Liu Zhihua looked proud at Guaibao, her daughter was not only cute but also so smart, she must have accumulated a lot of blessings in her previous life in exchange for it.

Erya felt that her younger sister was really smart, so she applauded vigorously and said with a smile: "My Jiaojiao is really smart, she knows so much, she will definitely be a talented girl in the future."

"Sister is amazing!" Xiao Li also shouted.

Jiaojiao shook her head with a smile, and explained: "I got it out of brother Song Dong's mouth. He has known medicinal materials since he was a child. He knows medicinal materials very well, and he knows more than me."

Er Ya still felt that the younger sister was amazing, so she quickly retorted: "That's also Jiaojiao and smart, who can memorize so much knowledge, if someone else told the elder sister so much, the elder sister would definitely not be able to remember."

Liu Zhihua nodded and smiled when she heard that, and said in agreement: "What Erya said is reasonable, but our petite heads are smart."

It didn't work for a while, the sacks and baskets, including Xiao Li's basket, were all piled up to the brim.

Liu Zhihua originally planned to send it back by herself, but she was worried that the children would be here alone, so she asked Xiao Li to carry it back and dump it in the yard, and then came up with an empty bag to pick others.

...

Meanwhile, the town.

Zhao family.

The officials who surrounded him two days ago had already withdrawn, and Liu Quan was waiting at the door with his guards.

After a while, a simple carriage stopped slowly, Zhao Shen lifted the curtain, and walked down with a tired face.

He has been on the road non-stop for the past few days, sent the second young lady to the capital, and only returned yesterday, before he had a good rest, he received the news that Yantie Inspector was coming here to investigate, and he hurried back before dawn.

Liu Quan hurried forward and raised his hand, "Master, please slow down."

Zhao Shen put his hand on his arm, rubbed his eyebrows and asked, "Liu Quan, what's the matter?"

"Master, it's Li Huai's grandson. He found out from somewhere that Miss Murong was going to enter the palace. He was afraid that you would take care of him, so he sent his captors to Ancheng to invite Mr. Sun, the governor of Yantie. The purpose was to borrow Mr. Sun's hand." Suppress the Zhao family."

At the end of the conversation, there was a bit of disdain in Liu Quan's words.

It's just a sixth-rank governor, even if he is fair and selfless, he doesn't look at the backstage of the current county magistrate's mansion. The second lady enters the palace to be a concubine, and the uncle has the trust of the second lady, so these petty officials dare to come to Zhao's house to be presumptuous.

Zhao Shen walked up the steps and asked casually, "Where is Master Sun now?"

Liu Quan hurriedly replied: "It is said that I stayed at the post station last night and went to the Yamen early this morning."

Zhao Shen paused, then frowned.

It can be said that Mr. Sun is not good at oil and salt, and he happens to be in charge of such important tasks as salt and iron, and the county magistrate is very distressed when dealing with him.

Since he was able to cope with this matter, it would be somewhat difficult to handle this matter.

Seeing the old man stop, Liu Quan looked worried, and he didn't understand why the old man was worried, isn't he just a little sixth-rank official.

Zhao Shen raised his hand and pinched the center of his brows, and asked lightly, "Where is Second Master?"

Liu Quan hesitated to speak, but said truthfully, "Second Master is at Auntie's place in the backyard."

Zhao Shen shook his sleeves and snorted coldly, "A dog can't change eating shit."

Zhao Shen went straight to the backyard.

Liu Quan hastily followed, feeling in his heart that the second master was too indiscriminate in his actions.

The uncle has been running around several times for the second master's affairs, and even specially asked someone to invite the retired old imperial doctor to help treat the second master. The second master has just recovered, and he knew that the uncle had never greeted him when he came back. At this time, he is still with his wife and concubine. It's a no-brainer to mess around in the room.

As soon as Zhao Shen entered the backyard, he heard the voices of men and women flirting, and his expression became gloomy.

"Grandpa, stop making trouble."

"Beauty, don't hide, come and smell me..."

Liu Quan hastily coughed lightly, and shouted loudly: "Second Master, Uncle is back."

The sound in the room stopped abruptly, followed by the sound of rummaging through boxes.

After a while, Zhao Er ran out with disheveled clothes. He was embarrassed when he saw his elder brother. In the past, his elder brother would go to the study when he came back. Why did he come to the backyard today?

Embarrassment is embarrassment, Zhao Er smiled flatteringly, and asked, "Brother, why are you free to come back today?"

Liu Quan was taken aback, didn't he tell the second master last night that the uncle came back today?

Zhao Shen's face darkened, and he slapped him when he raised his hand.

Snapped!

Zhao Er was stunned by the beating. He covered his face angrily and raised his head to question, but seeing his elder brother's gloomy gaze, he opened his mouth and held back.

"Come to my study, or break your leg."

Zhao Shen dropped these words, then turned and left.

Liu Quan hurriedly exchanged winks with the second master, then hurriedly chased the second master away.

Looking at the figure of his elder brother going away, Zhao Er rubbed his painful cheeks, and cursed in a low voice: "What a bull, you must have been angry with the county magistrate, and when you come back, you will vent your anger on me to find dignity Hang in the nest."

Although he was reluctant in his heart, he was afraid that the elder brother would really do something, so he walked towards the study in a leisurely manner.

in the study,

After Zhao Shen was seated, Liu Quan brought over a cup of tea and said with a smile, "Master, your favorite Biluochun."

"Go ahead, you don't have to watch over me here." Zhao Shen took the teacup and waved his hand.

Liu Quan glanced at the picture scroll on the table, and said with a smile: "Then don't bother me, my subordinates don't go far, if you have something to do, call me."

Zhao Shen took a sip of the tea and gave a faint "hmm".

Liu Quan glanced at the desk again, then backed out with a smile.

When Zhao Shen put down his teacup, he noticed a picture scroll on the table. He didn't come home for a long time, and it wasn't his property.

Out of curiosity, he put down the teacup, picked it up casually, and opened it to have a look.

What came into view was a portrait.

Zhao Shen was engrossed in watching, his Adam's apple rolled, and then hastily rolled up the portrait and put it away.

.

But I don't want to look at the person in the painting today to have an abnormal heartbeat.

Zhao Shen took a sip of tea to suppress the hotness in his body.

At this time, Zhao Er walked in.

"Brother, what are you looking for from me?"

Looking at his younger brother, Zhao Shen's expression suddenly turned cold, and he didn't want to talk to him, so he said softly: "Master Sun who took over your official salt matter is not easy to fool, the county magistrate has nothing to do with him, go and clean up now After washing up, I went to the Yamen to voluntarily surrender.”

If you surrender yourself, at most you will be imprisoned after the county magistrate examines it, and at worst it will be imprisoned for several years.

If the officials in charge find out that the case involved more than 10,000 taels of silver, but they have to go to Dali Temple to torture them severely, make them confess to those who trade in private salt, and they will be punished severely as accomplices, then it is truly impossible to survive I can't ask for death.

Zhao Er's face paled immediately when he heard that, and he hurriedly asked, "Brother, didn't you help me deal with this matter? Why did Master Sun appear again?"

Zhao Shen raised his hand angrily and threw the tea cup out, and said: "I have received news in the county town, but you still don't know anything, you only know how to have fun all day long, I think you should die too!"
