She glanced left and right, then patted on the door.
Soon, the door opened, revealing a face with a scar on the forehead.
Yao smiled and said, "Sir, I came here to tell you that the Gu family got 120 taels..."
Xu Zhi listened silently and said without any expression: "Got it. You don't have to come here again in the future."
After saying that, he slammed the door shut.
Yao: “…”
What does it mean that you don't have to come here again
Yao knocked on the door again.
The door opened quickly and Xu Zhi looked at Yao coldly.
Yao was a little scared, but still said, "Sir, what do you mean by not having to come over?"
Xu Zhi: "You don't need to tell me about that family anymore."
Yao was surprised when she heard this, and blurted out without thinking: "Why? Are you letting them go?"
Xu Zhi snorted coldly: "When have I ever dealt with them?"
It's not him who's dealing with them, it's the Queen Mother!
Let him go? The Queen Mother was a vicious and cruel person. She loved the eldest princess so much, and the eldest princess died of dystocia because of anger. How could she let the culprit go
It's just a matter of fattening them up temporarily before slaughtering them!
There is eternal damnation ahead!
Just wait and see!
However, this matter is not the Liang family’s business.
Yao's heart skipped a beat, and she quickly said with a smile, "I made a slip of the tongue. Please don't blame me, sir! My old lady has been imprisoned by the county magistrate. Can you please..."
"No." Xu Zhi slammed the door.
Yao: “…”
Yao returned to the carriage with a puzzled look on her face.
Shen Mingzhu had been waiting in the carriage. Her butt was still sore, but she couldn't wait any longer. She was holding a Western makeup mirror and carefully drawing her eyebrows. When she saw Yao return to the carriage, she asked, "Mother, have you told that man? Will he go back tonight to get the silver for us?"
Yao shook her head: "No, he said that we don't need to talk to him about the bastard's family anymore."
Shen Mingzhu was anxious when she heard this: "Why? What about my audition?"
Yao shook her head. "I don't know why. There's no rush for the selection. Let's rescue your grandmother first! Let's go back and see if your father has invited the county magistrate."
The official document for the beauty pageant has not come down yet, so we have to find a way to get Li out before the official document comes down.
Yao was a little confused. Why did that man suddenly ignore that bastard's family
Could it be that Shen Ruolan has gained power in the capital
No, it wouldn't. Yao quickly denied the idea.
Shen Ruolan offended the princess and the queen mother!
How could she gain power
It is more likely that she was killed than to say that she was in power!
Yao thought it was very likely.
“What a pity.”
Shen Mingzhu was confused: "Mother, what's a pity?"
"I guess Shen Ruolan might have been killed."
Shen Mingzhu: "..."
Then from now on I won’t be able to get that person’s help by making things difficult for the Gu family.
Wouldn't the Gu family be useless
Why is Shen Ruolan so useless? At least wait until she successfully enters the palace before dying!

Futai County Government Office
Zhou Qiang knocked on the door and walked in, respectfully handing Ren Zilin a note: "Sir, Mr. Shen from the Shen Family Winery has sent you a note."
Mr. Shen from Shen’s Winery
"Who?" Ren Zilin couldn't remember for a moment.
Zhou Qiang reminded, "He is the son of the old lady who was imprisoned yesterday. Her family runs a winery. Shen's Winery is the largest winery in Futai County."
Zhou Qiang quietly looked at Ren Zilin's face. By now, the lord should understand that Master Shen was here to give him some silver, right
Ren Zilin remembered!
Shen's Winery!
A large house was built to deliberately block the Shen family winery of my junior sister’s house!
The rich are so unkind!
"He said I'm busy, so I'll just decline it!"
Zhou Qiang: “…Yes!”
He walked out with the post, looking thoughtful.
After he walked out, Ren Zilin shouted again: "Someone come!"
Li Yong walked in: "Sir."
"Bring out all the tax books and account books of all the wineries, merchants, and workshops in Futai County that have paid in recent years. Don't exaggerate."
Li Yong was startled when he heard this, and then he was excited: "Yes, sir!"
The adults entrusted such an important matter to him, which shows that they trust him!
He walked out in a hurry.
After Li Yong left, Chu Tiankuo walked in.
Ren Zilin quickly picked up two official letters from the table and handed them to him.
One was an official document from the imperial court, and the other was a secret letter sent to him by his father.
"The official document for the selection of concubines has come down. The emperor intends to use this once-in-five-years election to select concubines for the adult princes. Concubine Liang should want to take this opportunity to marry a concubine who can help the second prince. I don't know if your concubine will interfere."
Chu Tiankuo didn't say anything, took it, opened it and started reading.
"My father wrote to say that Zhao is restless again. The two armies on the border had a quarrel over some trivial matter, and our army killed a general and more than a dozen soldiers of Zhao. The general was the nephew of Zhao's Zhou Tiefeng, and he threatened to send troops to seek justice for his nephew! Now Zhao wants an explanation. There will be a competition among young formation masters from four countries during the winter solstice. At that time, Zhao will send envoys to discuss compensation."
Chu Tiankuo's eyes turned cold, but he didn't say anything.
What nephew? He's already five generations old!
Moreover, he was a military general who was promoted temporarily, and he just wanted to find an excuse to send troops.
He has already received the news about this.
Ren Zilin knew that Zhao State was his taboo, so he didn't say much. He changed the subject: "Will you participate in the formation master competition?"
If weapons are the country's sharp weapon, then the formation is the country's barrier. If a country's formation is strong, it will not only be easier to win on the battlefield, but also reduce the sacrifice of soldiers.
The four countries attached great importance to the formation, and each court made great efforts to cultivate it, except for Chu.
In the past, Chu’s formation was not the strongest among the four countries, but it was not weak either. Jin was the strongest, and Chu had always been competing with Yan for the second place.
However, ever since the entire family of Marquis Changping was executed, the State of Chu has gradually declined over the past decade, lagging behind other countries in terms of both weapons and formations. The formation master competition four years ago was a complete disgrace.
Even Master Tang had no disciples participating in the competition for many years, and the four countries had laughed at the fact that there was no one to succeed the Chu State's formation masters.
"No."
Ren Zilin knew it, and he sighed: "Alas, I'm going to lose face again this year. So, can't you teach me?"
He loved watching the competition between formation masters the most. When he thought about the competition four years ago, he wished he could take part in it himself.
Chu Tiankuo glanced at his head and said calmly, "You can't learn it."
Ren Zilin: “… ”
Can we still have a good chat
At this time, Li Yong came in with a large stack of account books.
Li Yong: "Sir, these are the tax records of the major wineries in the city in the past two years."
The account book of Shen’s Winery is at the top.
"Thank you for your hard work!" Ren Zilin nodded, then waved his hand, signaling him to leave.
Ren Zilin was deeply shocked and needed to find comfort by attacking others. He picked up the account book of Shen's winery and said, "My master, come and see who will donate to build water conservancy projects and bridges for the people of Futai County! My achievements will depend on them! I want to get promoted and make a fortune."
