Back at home, the night was getting dark, and after a busy day, Shen Tingyu remembered that the flowers in the courtyard should have grown buds, and he wanted to go and watch it, but he didn't expect that it would suddenly rain lightly. Shen Tingyu thought that the buds were going to be knocked down a lot, but he saw the raindrops falling, but he never saw a bud fall, but just fell on the leaves, making a ticking sound. ”

Shen Tingyu stood under the eaves, looking at the flowers and plants swaying in the rain, thinking of his father who had been imprisoned for many days, thinking of his mother who was sick in bed, and then thinking of the declining tea shop business, he couldn't help but feel haggard.

At this time, a domestic servant walked over, looked at the haggard young master in front of him, and said with concern: "Young master, the weather is cold, it is not appropriate to stay here for a long time, let's go back to the house." ”

"No problem." Shen Tingyu waved his hand and continued: "What news is there from the county magistrate recently? ”

"The villain went to the government several times, and the county magistrate said that Lord Taishou was very moved by the young master's heart to save his father, but the old man ......"

"It doesn't hurt to be straight."

"Lord Taishou said that the lord committed a capital crime, and he happened to meet the emperor to rectify the rule of officials, and he didn't dare to hide it easily, saying that he was afraid that the emperor would find out and couldn't afford it, and if he wanted to save the lord, he needed to think about it in the long run."

"Alas!" Shen Tingyu let out a long sigh and instructed the servant: "Don't mention this matter to the old lady, you can go back." ”

"The villain understands."

The rain gradually became heavier, but Shen Tingyu seemed to be unaware of it, allowing the rain to splash his clothes.

"Shaodong, Shaodong......" A hurried shout pulled Shen Tingyu back from his contemplation, and he turned his head to see an old woman with unkempt hair and clothes that had been soaked by the rain appeared in front of him.

"Granny Li? Is there something to do here? Shen Tingyu asked.

"Ask the young owner to save my family Ying'er." Granny Li knelt in front of Shen Tingyu with a thud.

Shen Tingyu immediately stepped forward to help Granny Li and said, "Granny Li, please hurry up, Miss Ying'er is a worker in my family's tea shop, if something happens to her, I will definitely not sit idly by, and you tell me the reason for the incident." ”

"Shaodong, that's the case, in recent days, Li Wen, a businessman in the county, often went to our Shen family teahouse to wander, saying that he wanted to buy this teahouse, we all just thought that he was talking nonsense, but I never thought that he came to my house today, saying that he fell in love with my family Ying'er and wanted to take Ying'er as a concubine. This Li Wen is a bad person, everyone knows about it, of course I won't agree to this family affair if I die, he saw that I didn't want to, so he took someone to forcibly take Ying'er away, and begged the young owner to save my family Ying'er. ”

Shen Tingyu was extremely angry when he heard this, and he said: "This Li Wen is simply lawless!" In broad daylight, you dare to rob the people's daughter, Granny Li, you go back and wait, I will go to the county magistrate, and I will definitely give you justice. ”

At this time, it was getting late, and the rain was getting heavier and heavier, but Shen Tingyu couldn't take care of these anymore, he hurriedly walked towards the county office, and arrived at the county office after a while.

"It's so late, it's still raining heavily, I'm afraid there is something urgent here." The county magistrate guessed.

"What else is there to urge? Isn't it just his father's? Zhang Zhihong next to him looked disdainful.

"Alas, I used to think that this son was not doing his job, and he had nothing to do all day long, and it was difficult to make a profit. But he never thought that he had been running around for his father's affairs in recent days, and it was not a bad way to be a child. It's just that this Shen Wanchuan's sin is too heavy, and I'm afraid it will be difficult to get rid of it easily. The magistrate then said to the servant, "Let him come in first." ”

Shen Tingyu soon came in, and at this time, the rain had soaked through his clothes, making him look extremely embarrassed. When the county magistrate saw Shen Tingyu's appearance, thinking of the situation in his family, he couldn't help but feel a little desolate, and immediately ordered his subordinates: "Quick, go get a bowl of ginger soup, and let Shen Gongzi warm up his body first." ”

"Lord Xie County Order, it's just that the little nephew came to disturb him so late, please forgive the county commander."

"It's not in the way, but I don't know if my nephew is here so late, what's the matter?"

"Back to the county commander, the little nephew is here for the workers of my tea shop this time, today, Li Wen led people to rob the female worker of my tea shop, Li Yinger, and asked the county magistrate to make the decision for her."

"Is there such a thing?" In fact, Li Wen also has two filial piety to the county order on weekdays, if it weren't for Shen Tingyu's special trip to report the case, even if it was a matter of robbing people's daughters, the county order would turn a blind eye.

"Yes, please also ask the county commander to send someone to rescue Miss Ying'er as soon as possible."

"Virtuous nephew, you see that it is not early today, and besides, it is still raining heavily outside at this time, otherwise this matter will be talked about tomorrow? And isn't it just a female worker, just let Li Wen compensate some silver taels afterwards. ”

"Lord Prefectural Order! Not to mention that this is just a female worker in my tea shop, even if it is an ordinary ordinary girl, he Li Wen forcibly snatched it in broad daylight, lawless, unforgivable! ”

"I said, nephew, your father's affair has broken your brain enough, right? How can you still have the leisure to take care of such trivial chores? ”

Shen Tingyu already understood that the county order didn't want to take care of this matter after listening to what the county order said, and he thought that it would be useless to stay here longer, so it was better to go back and call more people and go directly to Li Wen's house to ask for it. So he made a gesture to the county order: "The little nephew is bothered." After that, he was about to leave, and when he was about to step out of the threshold, Zhang Zhihong from behind stopped him.

"Later, I will immediately gather the officials to go with you to ask for someone. But say it up front, I'm not helping you, I'm just not used to some lawless rats. ”

Shen Tingyu looked at him in some surprise and smiled.

It is said that since Shen Wanchuan was imprisoned, the Shen family's tea business has been handled by Shen Tingyu, Li Wen bullied Shen Tingyu at a young age, so he made up his mind about the Shen family's tea business, and he heard before that Shen Tingyu was idle all day long, and he was even more unscrupulous when he thought he was an incompetent person. Recently, he has gone to the county government to settle the relationship, and the county order promised that as long as what he did was not too excessive, he would not ask.

So after that, he began to plan how to buy the Shen family tea shop at a low price, and when he checked the Shen family tea mountain that day, he saw Ying'er beautiful, and he had a bad heart. But seeing that Ying'er's grandmother didn't agree to die, he led someone to snatch Ying'er back.

At this time, in the Li Mansion, Li Wen was sitting in the study, he thought of Ying'er's beauty, and he felt excited, but Ying'er has been unconscious since he was snatched back, making him helpless, so he ordered the villain on the side: "You go to the room for me to see now, how is the beautiful girl?" ”

The subordinate smiled lewdly and proposed to Li Wen: "Master, it is better to let the little one go to the street to buy some fairy medicine first, and let her take it, I am afraid that she will beg to serve the master at that time." ”

"That's right! I didn't think of it, you hurry up. Li Wen looked surprised.

The subordinate was about to go out, when he collided with the family who hurriedly ran in.
