Chapter 862


Chapter 862

Since Qian Tongpan won over several of his subordinates, he has become more and more arrogant in the government office, and his status has also grown exponentially. However, Master Shen's prestige is gradually weakening.

Last year, the grain accounts paid by Jingqian Tongpan were 20% less than in previous years. Master Shen asked him why, but he made excuses to fool him.

The people below all helped him. Mr. Shen wanted to find out, but was blocked by various obstacles.

"I heard that my subordinates accidentally heard something from Miss Qian's maid that Miss Qian had taken a fancy to the eldest young master of the Shen family and wanted to marry him and become the eldest young wife of the Shen family, but the eldest young master of the Shen family Not only did he not take a fancy to her, he also disliked her very much. However, Miss Qian just liked him and shamelessly moved closer to him. "

"This time, Miss Qian Er planned to plot against Young Master Shen on Mrs. Shen's birthday and force him to marry her. The dress that the princess bought happened to be what Miss Qian accidentally took a fancy to when she passed by the clothing store. It was just that she had to rush to the teahouse to attend her second brother's appointment, so she didn't buy it. However, Miss Qian asked the shopkeeper to keep it for her. "

"That's why...there was a scene where she wanted to steal the princess's clothes."

Those clothes are related to the girl's lifelong happiness. No wonder she would reach out to grab them excitedly.

Why.

The fox sighed happily.

Chu Jingqi's eyebrows were furrowed, and she waved her hand to the fox and said, "I understand, you go down first, don't make people wait too long."

Chu Jingqi's attitude softened a lot when he learned that the people coming from the Shen family below were his second uncle's maternal family.

After the fox left, Chu Jingqi looked at the table and thought about the affairs of the Shen family and the Qian family.

It is not unheard of in other cities for Tongxuan to cheat the prefect, and there are even cases where Tongsuan jumped over the hierarchy and went up to sue the government for corruption, bribery and malfeasance in duty.

Qian Tongpan has gathered all the little bosses with the purpose of ousting Master Shen step by step. I am afraid that in less than two years, Master Shen, the prefect, will become a decoration, and this Ningfeng City will become Qian Tong The world of judgment.

"Why, are you worried about Mr. Shen?" Xia Zihan asked him, "Then just help him. Since we are relatives and we have met, we can't ignore him."

"Well, I won't ignore it." Chu Jingqi pulled her into his arms and asked her to sit on his lap, "My second aunt used to be very good to her father, even better than her own son. Now, her mother's family has encountered difficulties. I I won’t just sit back and watch.”

"It's just that to take care of the Shen family's affairs, we have to stay in Ningfeng City for a few more days. As for the emperor, I just sent a letter back to the capital in the morning, saying that I will arrive in the capital in two months. If we are delayed here, The return schedule will be a few days later.”

"It will be a few days later, Aqi, I still want to take a turn to go to Wan'an City." Xia Zihan snuggled into his arms and played with a strand of his long hair.

Chu Jingqi grabbed her naughty hand and asked in confusion, "Wan'an City? What are you doing there?"

Xia Zihan raised her head and looked at him, her voice soft and soft, as if touching the tip of his heart, "Aqi forgot, there will be a drought this year, my benefactor is there in Wan'an City, I want to remind them. ”

In her previous life, she remembered the kindness of a bowl of leftover rice and the kindness of borrowing money. She had sworn in her heart that when she got rich, she would definitely repay them.

This year, that area will suffer from drought, and it is time for her to go to Wan'an City to repay this kindness.

In the evening, after Xia Zihan had eaten, he was still thinking about the illness of the Xu family girl, so he took Chu Jingqi out and said, "Just think of it as a walk to digest. The east of the city is not far from here. Just walk two streets and you’ll be there.”

"Are you going to the Xu family to save the Xu family girl?"

When he saw her leaving the inn door and pulling him towards the east of the city, he guessed what she was thinking. Xia Zihan said seriously, "For the sake of those books, I will go to Xu's house. Maybe I can save Miss Xu's life."

What Xia Zihan said was true. The contents of the books she bought were hard to find for a thousand dollars, but she bought more than a hundred of them in one go.

This made her very grateful to the Xu family and Mr. Xu.

Xia Zihan and Chu Jingqi flew to the east of the city, and according to the address given by the waiter, they directly found the front door of the Xu family.

Xu Mansion is easy to find. It is the largest house in this alley. There is a large plaque hanging on the door of the house with the word "Xu Mansion" written on it.

"Aqi, let's go in."

Xia Zihan pulled Chu Jingqi, jumped up lightly, and the two entered the Xu Mansion.

I thought that in such a big house, it would take a lot of time to find Miss Xu's boudoir. However, Xia Zihan found her target as soon as she flew up to the roof.

The Xu Mansion is now in such a state of poverty that it can't even light an oil lamp. The entire mansion is dark, with only a room in the backyard projecting a faint light.

Miss Xu is seriously ill. If the Xu family really valued her, the lights in her house would not be extinguished easily.

Xia Zihan and his wife flew directly to the light and landed at the door of the room.

Xia Zihan said softly, "Aqi, wait outside the house now. I will come out soon."

Chu Jingqi was a grown man. It was inconvenient to enter the girl's boudoir in the middle of the night, so Xia Zihan asked him to wait outside.

Chu Jingqi withdrew ten meters away, and disappeared under a tree.

Xia Zihan pushed the door gently, and the door was bolted from the house. It could not be pushed. Xia Zihan took out the dagger inserted in his boot, reached into the crack of the door, and pried it a few times, and the door latch inside was closed. fell.

Gently opening the door, the oil lamp in the room flickered a few times due to the wind, and everything in the room came into Xia Zihan's eyes.

The furnishings in the room are very simple. There are only a bed, a set of tables and chairs, a single-door wardrobe, and a set of small archaeological shelves. There are only a few books and two small incense burners on the archaeological shelves. There is not a single one. Playing with antique jade.

A little maid in a coarse green gown was sleeping on the footrest in full clothes, with only a thin quilt covering her waist. She was sleeping soundly, and on the bed, a pair of big black and white eyes were wide open, not daring. Staring with confidence at Xia Zihan who suddenly barged in.

"Who are you? How did you get in?" Xu Waner asked her, her weak voice as loud as a mosquito's cry. Xia Zihan's ears were sharp and she heard clearly.

Xia Zihan said, "I'm just a passing doctor. When I went to the study to buy books, I heard the waiter in the study talk about Miss Xu's illness, so I came over to take a look. I didn't mean any harm."

Xu Waner also felt that she had no ill intentions, so she did not shout out. She said excitedly, "You said... you are a doctor?"

"Well, I am the descendant of the famous Dr. Bai in the world." Xia Zihan did not hide it from her. He walked to the bed and looked at her face carefully.
