In addition to mentioning that he should attend the fundraising event, Zhao Wan'er's letter also euphemistically mentioned the matter of "recruitment", saying that the Zhao Mansion had prepared it and asked him when he could receive those dowries.

Because Zhao Wan'er and Su Ziheng are fake engagement, according to the agreement, these dowries will be paid by the Zhao Mansion. Otherwise, with the hundreds of taels of silver on Su Ziheng's body, it seems to be a lot, but it is actually not worth a penny.

This dowry from the silver two purchases is estimated to laugh off the big teeth of the entire Xining Mansion. Zhao Fu himself couldn't afford to lose that face. In order not to let outsiders see the joke and arouse the suspicion of those who have a heart. The Zhao government decided to include the bridal gift and hold a beautiful recruitment ceremony.

Su Ziheng has no opinion on this, anyway, he doesn't need to pay for it himself, so Zhao Fu can let him go to the scenery. It's just that when he thought of the Zhao Family Manor and the White Deer Academy he saw yesterday, he felt that the Zhao Mansion was still quite interesting, and it wouldn't be good if he didn't give any gifts.

Thinking that in a few days, the energy of the Explorer base in his hand should have recovered a little, and he can enter the base, and when the time comes, he can choose some of the items in his collection as gifts.

For example, a crystal ball music box he bought before was worthless in his previous life, but in this era, it is a proper artifact-like existence. Su Ziheng believes that as long as it is the first time to see the crystal ball music box, there is absolutely no girl who can resist its temptation.

What's more, Su Ziheng bought the kind of high-end music box that can not only make sound, but also glow. Inside the crystal ball is a very cute dolphin, and when you shake it, you can see the dolphin swimming back and forth in the crystal ball.

This kind of similar crystal ball music box Su Ziheng bought a lot in his previous life, and he was originally intended to be a gift to the students who performed well in the class, who knew that it would be useless.

Su Ziheng was even thinking that after the silver on his body was spent in the future, he could sell some crystal ball music boxes, and it was estimated that he would be able to eat carefree for a lifetime.

It wasn't until Xiaoya came in and called for breakfast that Su Ziheng, who came back to his senses, thought that Liu Sijun was still waiting outside for his reply, so he hurriedly picked up the brush and replied to her, saying that he would attend the fundraising event on time tomorrow.

……

……

"Knock Knock"

In the study of the Xining Governor's Mansion, Xu Xiuping was tapping on the desk, looking at the invitation on the table. The more and more displaced people outside the city gathered, he was not unaware.

It's just that the emperor has decreed that there will be a Northern Expedition next year, and all states and counties must prepare food and salaries. Xining is located in Xiliang, which is not as rich as Jiangnan, and there is no excess grain in the granary.

If you open a position to help the people this time, it is estimated that you will not be able to wait for next year, and you will have to eat a big deal in the assessment at the end of the year, and if you don't do well, you will have to go down from the position of Zhizhou.

He also once considered letting the big families in Xining get some food to alleviate the disaster, otherwise it would be his dereliction of duty if there was a real civil uprising. As a result, before he could take action, the manager of the Zhao firm sent him an invitation to the door, saying that he was invited to attend the fundraising auction.

What kind of calculation is this Zhao family making?

Xu Xiuping was puzzled. Suddenly, a thought flashed in his mind, remembering a piece of news he received a few days ago, Zhao Chengming, the waiter of the Ministry of Industry of the Imperial Court, angered the emperor, and was demoted from a third-grade waiter to a seventh-grade magistrate, and it was also a Donghai County where birds don't. It can be said that if there is no accident, Zhao Chengming's career is over.

Could it be that the Zhao family knew their plot and knew that after losing Zhao Chengming's support, they decided to break the jar and break it, and would rather sell the property in the house for disaster relief than marry their own Xu family?

"If that's the case, then you, Zhao Chengwen, can't help but think that I, Xu Xiuping, are too easy to deceive." Xu Xiuping showed a gloomy smile on his face, Zhao Mansion, who had lost his backer, wanted to fight with me, a Zhizhou, what do you use to fight? Do you really think that if you find a random scholar and say that it is your son-in-law, you will be safe?

"Father, are you looking for me?"

Xu Bohan was just about to go out, when he suddenly heard a rumor from his subordinates that the master was going to summon him, so he hurried to the study. Xu Bohan is self-aware, knowing that he can spend all his time drinking and doing evil outside, all because he relies on himself as Zhizhou's father.

Therefore, he did not disobey his father at home, and pretended to be honest and well-behaved. It also won a lot of favor from Xu Xiuping, otherwise he would not have left his eldest son with him and brought him as his second son.

Xu Xiuping looked at the second son in front of him who was pale and overindulged, and his heart was in a trance. Thinking of the toddler who used to be a toddler in front of him in the past, he became a big child in a blink of an eye, and he felt a burst of emotion in his heart, sighing that time passes, and Shaohua is fleeting.

"Yesterday, the government patrol reported that robbers entered a house in Xishi and burglarized, and a human life was killed, do you know?"

Xu Bohan was shocked, he also thought that the matter of instructing the people of Heifeng Village to assassinate Su Zhe had been exposed. But he soon realized that his father seemed to be talking about theft, not assassination.

The difference between one word and the meaning in it is worlds apart. The so-called murder pays off the debts and repays the money, the assassination is the death penalty, and the theft is at most beaten and punished for a few days.

But whether it was assassination or theft, Xu Bohan didn't want to involve himself, "Father, the child doesn't know. ”

"Bang!"

Xu Xiuping slapped the desk hard, shocking Xu Bohan.

Xu Xiuping's face became gloomy, "Don't think that you did it seamlessly, if it weren't for me wiping your ass behind you, the people from the six doors would have come to the door by now." ”

Xu Bohan shrunk his neck and muttered, "Father, what happened, why is it involved in the six doors?" ”

Liumen is directly under the imperial court's department for the arrest of important criminals and criminal investigations, and does not fall under the jurisdiction of the local government. Normally, the chief catcher of the patrol house of the local government will serve in the six gates, and if the criminal case that occurs in the local area has not been reported to the six gates, the local government can still intervene, but once it is reported to the six gates, the local government cannot intervene.

Xu Xiuping snorted coldly: "Now that I know that I am afraid, I have said that the matter of the Zhao Mansion will be taken by my father, and I don't need you to get involved." You just have to wait to marry Zhao Wan'er, but you just don't listen, what do you see you have done recently? ”

"Send someone to force the Zhao family to comply, do you really think that Zhao Chengwen's old fox is so easy to deal with? If this were the case, the father would not have to wait until today, he would have taken down the Zhao Mansion a long time ago. Or do you think you are more powerful than your father? ”

When Xu Bohan heard his father's gloomy tone, cold sweat couldn't stop breaking out, and he hurriedly knelt down, and said in fear: "Father, the child doesn't dare. ”

Xu Xiuping didn't seem to see his son kneeling, and continued to say coldly: "I can't deal with Zhao Mansion, I don't blame you." But you can't even pack a little scholar, it's really disappointing to me. You said that you have made a few attempts three times, have you succeeded in that time? If I hadn't carried it for you this time, you wouldn't know what the consequences would have been. ”

Xu Bohan was prostrate on the ground, his body trembling, he didn't dare to make the slightest excuse, but he hated Su Zhe to death in his heart.

"You don't want to get involved in the affairs of the Zhao Mansion anymore, I have my own plans. In the future, there will be less contact with the people of the Li family, and in the past few days, the little marquis Sikong Lun is in Xining, you and him will move around more. As long as you can catch the boat of the little marquis, it is far stronger than a Zhao family, I don't know how many times. ”

"Yes, father, the child knows, and obeys his father's orders." Xu Bohan kowtowed heavily.
