Yu Nian was about to take everyone away, but Zhou Qi said slowly behind the crowd, "Stop." Although the voice was soft, it calmed everyone.

"My lord, I am wronged, my lord, there are no rats in the Qian family's tea garden, please be clear." Qian Ning saw that Zhou Qi was behind, so he hurriedly came over and knelt on the ground, "My lord, we ......"

Zhou Qi didn't look at Qian Ning, walked over slowly behind his hands, and stood opposite Yu Nian, "Lord Yu, why are you angry?" ”

"Lord Zhou, it's really blind to the lower officials, I didn't see that the Qian family is so dirty, oops, I really feel disgusting when I think about it, that rat feces must be mixed in the tea, oops, the ladies in our palace, I am really wronged." Yu Nian raised his hands above his head and cried to the sky, like mourning.

Zhou Qi didn't want to watch him play here, so he walked to the shelf with rat droppings, and saw that the rat droppings were close to the innermost part one by one, "Qian Wanquan, what do you explain?" ”

"My lord, our tea garden has always paid the most attention to hygiene, there is not a single grain within a radius of three miles, there is not a single melon and fruit, just to prevent mice, and even if the tea and mouse feces are mixed together, it is impossible to drink, because when making tea, the tea leaves and mouse feces can be seen at a glance."

"Well, Lord Yu, what do you think?"

Yu Nian suddenly stopped crying, "My lord, this is just Qian Wanquan's words, we should still report to the imperial court." ”

"Lord Yu, you touch this shelf."

"Your Excellency?"

When everyone was stunned, Zhou Qi reached out and touched a handful of shelves, which were spotless, even the bottom was spotless, "Lord Yu? ”

"Lord Zhou, this ...... Oh, maybe this rat is new, or it would have been okay in previous years, and something would have happened this year. ”

"I ask you, how long has it been since the accident?"

"Back to my lord, more than half a month."

"Half a month, why didn't the Qian family know that they were going to be investigated?"

"Don't tell the adults, the little people already knew."

"Okay, it's been half a month, can't you even catch a mouse? Even if you can't catch rats, you can't let rat droppings stay on the shelves, right? It doesn't matter if your shelves have always been so clean or have only recently been so clean, even the corners have been taken care of, will so much rat poop be invisible? ”

"My lord, this is really Skynet's magnificence and negligence!"

"Lord Yu, this official thinks that there are many doubts in this matter, and the official will make a decision after careful investigation."

"My lord, do you want to detain all the people in the tea plantation?"

"Not yet."

"My lord, then the lower official is willing to join hands with the lord to go to the court, and request that the Qian family's palace worship be temporarily revoked, and then deal with it after the facts are clarified."

"Not yet."

"Your Excellency?"

"The official has his own decision, Qian Wanquan, you have gathered all the guys who were here yesterday, and the official is going to question now."

"Hey, my lord......" Yu Nian saw that Zhou Qi had already turned around and left to organize people to set up a temporary office space in the courtyard, and he didn't say anything, so he hurriedly came to Zhou Qi's side.

The Qian family heard the conversation between the two adults on the side, and their hearts went up and down for a while, and now it is a blessing in misfortune that Zhou Qi did not arrest everyone roughly.

When the Qian family was worried, Chen Qianlang also stood at the door worriedly and looked around, and the sun was three poles, so Wan Ting came to the Chen family alone.

Chen Qianlang had already gotten the news: the prefect had gone to Qian's house. He doesn't have time to take care of the Qian family's affairs, and his son's life is the most important. He saw Wan Ting swaying over, and hurriedly stepped forward to salute, "Miss Zhou." ”

"Yes." Wan Ting was sleepy-eyed, glanced at Chen Qianlang and walked inside.

"Miss."

"You don't have to follow, I'll go myself."

Chen Qianlang saw that she didn't look like a teacher asking for guilt, so she took two steps and followed behind Huanting, and when Huanting entered the house, Chen Qianlang still felt that she was still in a dream.

"Hey, who's that." Wan Ting came out as soon as she entered, standing at the door and pointing at Chen Qianlang.

Chen Qianlang was startled and hurried over, "Miss, Xiaomin Chen Qianlang, what do you want from Miss?" ”

"Well, what about Chen Mingyang? Why hasn't he come yet, what time has it been! ”

"Oh, Miss." Chen Qianlang's heart was pounding, "We, there is a batch of goods that are in a hurry to be delivered, and Mingyang will go to deliver it." ”

"Delivery, what's the goods?"

"Silk." As soon as these words came out, Chen Qianlang wanted to slap his big mouth, thinking that what was not good was to say anything, what was the truth!

"Oh." Wan Ting was just about to turn around and enter the house, "Hey, I can tell you, I don't know how to fix any calculations!" Hurry up and find someone! ”

"Yes, yes, don't worry, the eldest lady can definitely fix it today!" Chen Qianlang saw that Huanting didn't ask Chen Mingyang at all, and finally breathed a sigh of relief, and was worried that Huanting was playing some kind of trick, so he didn't dare to ask Chen Mingyang to come back now, and ordered someone to quickly ask the shopkeeper Xu of Qianzhuang to send a capable person to repair the abacus, and personally wrote to Chen Mingyang to ask him to go to Datong first to wait for his news, and then come back when everything was calm.

The news of the accident in the Qian family's tea garden quickly came back to the Qian family, and the whole family talked about it, Wu Yi was going to the old lady's room with a fruit bowl humming a little song, and when she heard everyone's discussion, she knew that the Qian family might be unlucky!

Wu Yi slapped his head, "Wu Yi, Wu Yi, you don't stay well in the official master's house, if you don't run to the merchant's house, this businessman still doesn't have the prestige of the official master, oops, I'm stupid!" ”

Wu Yi pretended to be calm and came to the old lady's room to serve, the old lady and the lady had also received the news, Qian Duo was comforting the old lady with his wife, and the Zhang brothers and sisters also helped analyze. Wu Yi stood next to him and didn't dare to interject, and after listening to what everyone said, he felt that he didn't seem to be in a desperate situation. Wu Yi thought to herself, the family has a big business, and it won't collapse all at once, maybe it's because the people are timid, so it's so serious, in the eyes of the owner, it's nothing. Wu Yi was a little relieved, and served the old lady diligently, handing tea and beating her legs.

Zhou Qi interrogated in the tea garden for a day, but no one saw any suspicious people, but there were two guys who were responsible for cleaning this area, and they cleaned them separately, neither of them had ever seen rat droppings, and none of them had ever seen mice.

Zhou Qi still thinks that this matter is full of suspicions, but Yu Nian argues with reason, thinking that the Qian family does not mix rat feces into the tea.

Zhou Qi didn't want to argue with him, he knew the things in the palace best, not to mention that it was impossible for the palace maid who made tea not to see it, even the eunuch who shared the tea before couldn't be so negligent, and it was unbelievable that such a mistake occurred at the palace banquet organized by the queen's mother. Thinking about it after taking 10,000 steps back, even if everyone didn't see it, the place where this rat poop appeared made Zhou Qi unable to believe that this was originally here. The unique feeling impregnated in the palace made Zhou Qi firmly believe that this matter was not simple.

"Lord Yu, don't forget, this official is the chief judge, this official thinks that there is no need to revoke Qian Ji's court worship, this official will truthfully report today's matter to the court, but this official will also write his own opinions, I hope Yu Tongzhi can work with this official with one heart and one mind."

"My lord, the lower officials really don't agree! If it is true that there is a mistake in the money record, and it is already the emperor's grace to just revoke the court offerings, how can it be so? Didn't the adults mean to cover up the money? ”

"Since Yu Tongzhi can't advance and retreat with this official, then let's go up and down." Zhou Qi spoke calmly and quietly, without the slightest wave, and after speaking, he didn't wait for Yu Nian to say anything, turned around and left.

The Qian family naturally thanked Zhou Qi for his kindness, and was very angry when they saw Yu Nian, knowing that Yu Tongzhi could not let go of Qian Ji easily. The hearts of the Qian family and his son are still tight, and they have always been good friends with their family for more than a few years, but the new prefect believes that there is a secret in this matter, which makes the Qian family father and son never expect it.

When the father and son returned home, the whole family and the Zhang family and the brothers and sisters sat together to analyze. Wu Yi was also on the side, she just rushed to serve tea, just to hear what was going on, so that she could decide whether to slip away as soon as possible.

"Dad, what do you mean by Lord Yu today?"

"Let's get along with Master Yu quickly, today, is it possible that he doesn't want to be too close to us in front of Shangfeng?"

"So this drama is a bit too much, right? Dad, obviously the prefect of Zhou said that he asked Lord Yu to fold with him, saying that there were doubts in this matter, but Lord Tongzhi not only asked for the revocation of our court offerings, but also demanded that we admit our mistakes, is he helping us? ”

"Uncle Qian, how is this fellow intellectual?" Zhang Ling had been sitting next to him and listening, and finally couldn't help but speak.

"Lord Yu, he has been in the Tongzhi office for five or six years, unlike other adults, he came to make friends with our merchants, and said that if there were no Huizhou merchants, this Huizhou City would not be Huizhou City or something. He and our Qian family have not had any unpleasantness, but every year your aunt also invites his wife to visit the garden, and the New Year's festival also walks around each other. ”

"Uncle Chamber, did he order the goods to be detained last time for our family?"

"Yes, but he didn't target our family, and he returned it to us later."

"Uncle Qian, it seems that this Lord Yu cares more about things in the officialdom."

When Zhang Ling said this, even Wu Yi understood, this adult wanted to be the prefect, but suddenly a little kid who had just entered the officialdom came, not only the champion but also was promoted by an exception, and he rode on his head all of a sudden, and he was naturally unwilling for more than a year, so maybe everything had to be done against the Zhou prefect, and the Qian family just hit the muzzle.

"So how should this be?"

"Hey, Lord Zhou isn't going for you." Wu Yi had already understood it beside him, knowing that he didn't have to run away, and his mood was better again, so he didn't control his mouth for a while.

"You are?" Qian Wanquan hasn't seen Wu Yi yet, and besides, no one in this mansion has ever intervened.

"Oh, Dad, this is Wu Yi, I met on the way to Shanxi, I thought about asking her to talk to grandma and relieve grandma's boredom, so I recruited her in."

"Oh, Wu Yi, you just said that Governor Zhou is facing us?"

"Yes, Governor Zhou is a good person, and he is kind to everyone, and he will not wronged you if he says that there is something suspicious."

"Oh? Do you know Zhou Zhifu? ”
