Su Tai was worried about Shen Yi and decided to accompany him back to the county town.
As soon as they mounted their horses, snowflakes started to fall in the sky. The wind and snow became more and more intense, covering the way they came.
The couple met Murong Jue and his party as soon as they entered the city.
"Master Xue!" Shen Yi was obviously very surprised to see the right guard beside Murong Jue.
Xue Mao never thought that he could be recognized by others even though he was so low-key. He had to cough dryly and nodded lightly to Shen Yi, "You are."
Shen Yi quickly dismounted his horse and saluted, "Xiaoguan Zhaohua County Magistrate Shen Yi."
"It turns out to be Mr. Shen, is there something wrong?"
Shen Yi shook his head.
Xue Mao immediately waved his hand, "Since there is nothing to do, Mr. Shen, go and do your own business!"
"Yes!" Shen Yi stood up.
Chun Xing and Chun Cao happened to see their guests outside the door, and immediately saluted Shen Yi Su Tai, "My servant, please pay homage to the master, madam!"
Murong Jue and others looked at Shen Yi Su Tai in surprise.
Xue Mao raised his eyebrows and asked, "Does this Qingfengzhai belong to your family?"
"Strictly speaking, it belongs to the little girl." Shen Yi replied seriously and asked politely : "Mr.
At this moment, Alan came out, "Young master, everything is ready. My master asks you to go in and verify the quantity."
Shen Yi looked at Xue Mao and blinked in confusion.
Xue Mao laughed awkwardly, "Let me take a look."
Shen Yi quickly looked away and exchanged glances with Su Tai. The couple silently entered the shop and walked to the backyard.
Murong Jue and his party watched them leave, speechless for a moment.
Shen Yuezhang was instructing Chun Cao Chun Xing to move things.
Murong Jue was silent for a moment and asked: "Are you the daughter of the county magistrate of Zhaohua County?"
"Exactly!" Shen Yuezhang did not deny it, but was a little strange, "Young Master Do you know my father?”
Murong Jue shook his head and pointed at Xue Mao, "He knows him."
"That's it! Yue Zhang is rude." Shen Yuezhang gave Xue Mao a blessing gift. Knowing that Xue Mao liked the snacks in the shop, he immediately let him Alan went to pack snacks for Xue Mao.
Xue Mao was a little embarrassed, "You're so polite, little boss. I take your snacks every time I come over. No matter how thick-skinned I am, I can't help it."
That being said, I should take it anyway. .
Murong Jue and his subordinates finished counting their things, changed the number of deeds with Shen Yuezhang, and left with satisfaction.
Although he accidentally bumped into the Zhaohua County Magistrate today, he accidentally learned Shen Yuezhang's name and identity. He was actually more happy than worried.
After Shen Yuezhang saw Murong Jue off, he immediately went to the backyard to meet his parents.
"It's so cold, why did you come to the county town? I plan to go back to the village in two days!" Shen Yuezhang said while pouring a bowl of steaming milk tea for each of them. Out of the corner of her eye, she caught sight of Shen Yi's plain clothes under Su Tai's cloak. She was so shocked that she almost knocked over the soup bowl, "Dad, mother, whose family has a funeral?"
Su Tai sighed sadly. He said, "It's Dr. Li. He fell ill in autumn. I thought he would be cured by taking care of himself. Who knew?" After falling down and not getting better, he still left after a few months. The two of us have been helping out at Li's house these days, and Dr. Li just finished his work today."
When Shen Yuezhang heard this, his eyes turned red. , Dr. Li has always treated her when she was sick since she was a child, and she has always respected Dr. Li as a grandfather.
Su Tai comforted: "Your father has arranged all the arrangements for Dr. Li's death. Don't feel bad. We just came in and met Mr. Xue. Is he a frequent customer of your shop?"< br>
"Master Xue?" Shen Yuezhang was confused.
Shen Yi muttered: "It's the tall man wearing a black cloak and a big knife on his waist."
Shen Yuezhang suddenly realized, "I know what dad is talking about. Who is it? The young master also said that he knows dad. It turns out that he is a higher official than dad!"
"You don't even know who he is?" Shen Yi frowned.
Shen Yuezhang looked puzzled, "Dad, he is one of the young master's guards. Should I know his identity?"
"Young Master's bodyguard?" Shen Yi seemed to have heard some big secret.
Shen Yuezhang nodded seriously, "Yes, that young master is the financial backer of our shop, the most distinguished guest. He spends at least a thousand taels of silver every time he comes here, and he recently made an order. The batch of goods is worth tens of thousands of taels. < br>
His business alone can support everyone in our shop. He wanted the bath soap and ointment to prevent frostbite and chapped. "
The more Shen Yi listened, the more serious his face became. Even Shen Yuezhang. They all realized something was wrong.
Su Tai looked at him worriedly, "Is there a problem?"
Shen Yi nodded, "The young master's guard Zhang'er mentioned is the garrison leader Xue Mao."
"Ahem cough cough" Su Tai choked on her saliva and was extremely shocked.
Shen Yi helped her carry it and continued: "Last year, the prefect came with the garrison, and I had the honor to meet Xue Mao. At that time, the prefect treated Xue Mao with great respect, but now Zhang'er said that Xue Mao Mao is just the young master’s protector Wei, I suspect that the young master’s identity is unusual.”
“Dad! He must be a prince or grandson to be protected by the garrison leader!” Shen Yuezhang realized later and began to think about what he had done. If it is not done well, it will offend the noble man.
Thinking about it carefully, it seemed that every time she discussed business with the young master, she was very happy. It should be fine, it should be fine
Shen Yi did not answer, only reminded seriously: "Tell Alan and the others to come to the shop if you have nothing to do, and come back with us now."
"Oh" Shen Yuezhang obeyed and asked Chun Xing to leave with her.
As soon as they left, Su Tai sent two new maids to the shop to help.
Shen Yi sent mother and daughter back to the house, and then returned to the county government office without stopping.
Lu Tong already knew about Dr. Li. When he saw Shen Yi coming back, he had to comfort him.
Shen Yiping stepped back, closed the door, leaned into Lu Tong's ear, and said in a low voice: "Zhu Yixuan brought Cen Mingzhu back. Cen Mingzhu had a difficult delivery a few months ago. Although she saved her life, her body was completely broken. need If you have to lie in bed all the time to recuperate, you will definitely not be able to travel far in this situation."
"His!" Lu Tong gasped, "Zhu Yixuan is really lawless and dares to take the exiled criminals privately. Go home! What do you think we should do?"
Shen Yi shook his head, "Stay still and act according to the opportunity. This is Zhu Yixuan's advantage. Good steel is used on the edge. If there is no trouble behind the Zhu family, It doesn’t matter if we turn a blind eye, if the Zhu family can’t help it, they will use this as an excuse to attack the Zhu family.”
There is also Cen Yingfan behind Cen Mingzhu, so don’t offend him unless you have to. good.
Lu Tong nodded repeatedly, raised his eyebrows and glanced at Shen Yi, "Where did the news come from?"
He has been rooted in the county for many years, and even he can't find out the news about the Zhu family. He is really curious about Shen Yi's methods. (End of this chapter)
