This brocade cloth bag seems to have been deposited by the Tao family in the pastry shop in advance.

The owner of the shop has a brother who is a compatriot, and he was wronged in a lawsuit this spring, but fortunately, Tao Tuiguan saw everything and returned his innocence, so he was spared from prison, so the whole family was grateful to Tao Tuiguan.

His family may not have much contact with the Tao family on weekdays, at most, Tao Tuiguan's mother, wife and niece Tao Ying like to eat his family's dim sum, and often send people to buy a pack or two to go back to satisfy their hunger. There are so many such guests, so there are not many people watching them at the moment. As for why the Tao family trusted this family so much and entrusted them with the brocade cloth bag, and why this family was so bold and dared to risk offending the prefect's group and save things for the Tao family, it was a matter between the two families.

Xie Huizhi didn't ask, but just paid more attention to it, and found that the types of pastries mentioned by Tao Yingfen and Xie Yingfen and Yang Yuan were mysterious that were not known to outsiders, and two of them turned out to be new products that had not yet been launched in the pastry shop, and one of them was told by Tao Ying to the pastry shop proprietor, which was not known to outsiders at all at this time. Therefore, when Xie Huizhi came to the shop to ask about those kinds of pastries, two of which were impossible for outsiders to hear, the other party knew that he was commissioned by the Tao family.

He didn't even ask Xie Huizhi's name and origin, so he invited people to the back hall for tea under the pretext that the goods were large and needed time to pack. After asking Xie Huizhi and making sure that he got the news from the Tao family, and their family had a very good relationship with Mrs. Tao, and there were big officials in the family, the boss and his wife simply handed over the brocade cloth bag.

Xie Huizhi didn't know what was in the brocade cloth bag, but he only knew that the Tao family could pass on an item so secretly, and the importance of this item was naturally self-evident. He calmly hid the brocade cloth bag close to his body, and then talked to the boss and the proprietress with a smile as usual, asking about the shelf life of dim sum, and whether there are similar dim sum sales in the north. It didn't take long for someone to open the curtain and come in, although they claimed to patronize the business of the store, but the other party's vigilant and strange eyes showed that they had other intentions.

Xie Huizhi behaved like a naïve and deceitful young master, only talking about the fact that there was also a pastry shop at home, and he felt that he made the best at home, and except for a few time-honored dim sums outside, no one's dim sum was as good as the ones produced in his own family. I don't know why the sisters in the family are so curious about the snacks outside, and when they hear that there is something delicious, they have to call him to run errands, so that he has just eaten wine and food, and he has to work hard to run his legs, and he may not be able to eat a mouthful of food.

The boss and his wife are also wonderful people, they also have good acting skills, pretending not to know anything, one follows Xie Huizhi's words, and the other enthusiastically serves tea and water to the new guests, promotes their own expensive snacks, and successfully sells three or four catties out.

When Xie Huizhi led the little guy with a big bag back to the street car, he was not busy walking, but leaned on the carriage to laugh at the shy Yang Chun, and asked the little guy to buy two cups of tea from this shop and ask for a basket of fruits from that shop. When he saw the few people who were staring at the pastry shop and left the shop with a disappointed face, he smiled and called Yang Chun to take a car out of the city together.

The men followed their car and went out of the city. Xie Huizhi simply saw a pastry shop along the road, so he sent someone to buy a few packs of signature dim sum, bought four or five, and went all the way to the dock, and no one came to stop the car. And Yang Chun didn't notice anything wrong except for complaining that he had bought too many dim sum.

Xie Huizhi joked about his experience, which caused Song, Xie Jinzhi, and Xie Mulin brothers and sisters to laugh a few times. Song scolded with a smile: "Poor Brother Chun, you have done so much, he doesn't even realize it!" It's really confusing to read! Go back and take him out to see the world and experience the world, otherwise he will really be sold in the future and pay for the people! ”

Xie Huizhi said coquettishly: "Second uncle and grandmother, you can't say that, I was also a simple and straightforward good boy, no worse than Brother Chun." He didn't think anything was wrong because he didn't know anything about it, but it wasn't because he was purer than me! ”

Xie Jinzhi scolded with a smile: "Shut up! It's disgusting to hear! Are you embarrassed to say that you are simple? Do you have any points left in your heart?! ”

Xie Mulin asked with a smile: "Third brother, where are the dim sum you bought on the way back?" The ones you sent to the cabin just now are clearly the products of the shop that Tao Ying said, and the name of the store is printed on the dim sum box! ”

Xie Huizhi snorted: "Today, I am tired of Qingliu and a few of them have done a lot of coolies, and I can't be the master of it, so I rewarded them with all the snacks I bought later, and each of them added another reward." If anyone tastes a good dim sum from a particular store, go back and tell me, and then send someone to buy it. But I really think that other people's dim sum may not be better than our own sister store, take it to take away favors, give gifts, just eat it yourself! ”

The crowd laughed again.

Song took out the brocade cloth bag, opened it and looked at it, and found that there were two letters inside, one was sealed, and a person's name was written on it, which seemed to be an official of Dali Temple; The other one was opened, she opened it and looked at it, and found that it was Tao Ying's handwriting. When Tao Sakura hid her things in the pastry shop, she couldn't be sure who had come to pick them up, so she didn't look up in the letter. The letter wrote a detailed account of what happened, and also mentioned that the Tao family believed that the Zhenjiang prefect and his gang did not dare to attack them. It's just that after the Song family read the letter, they felt that the Tao family's reliance was a little unstable, no wonder Tao Ying, a little girl, would keep a hand, just in case.

In fact, to put it bluntly, the Zhenjiang prefect has not been very clean in his hands since he took office, and a large number of unjust and wrongful cases have not been mentioned, and the official government's accounts are also very problematic. Previously, he had the support of the Lin family behind him, and he also had an official background, plus he was willing to spend money to buy people's hearts, so most of the subordinate officials and officials in the prefect's yamen were willing to go along with him, and if they were unwilling, they were either persecuted by him and lost their official positions, or they directly lost their lives, and in the end, no one dared to go against him anymore.

It's not that no one in Zhenjiang Mansion doesn't like this prefect, but after a few wealthy families with a small official background suffered, no one dared to say anything more. And he still does things in a measured way, he doesn't dare to provoke those who have high-ranking officials in the family, and he can whitewash the peace on the surface, so there are not many people who seriously care about him. At that time, the power of the two princes was like the middle of the day, and there were always rumors of Yi Chu in the court. Zhenjiang is close to the capital, and there are many people who hear the rumors, and they all feel that the prefect has his back against the future new king, so why should he be offended to death? Anyway, he has such a backer, just to get a qualification in Zhenjiang, and he will be promoted to Beijing at the end of his term, so why don't you endure it for a few years and send people away? If you can make a good match, maybe you can borrow it in the future?

As a result, no one in Zhenjiang Mansion dared to touch his tiger beard.

In the spring of this year, the magistrate of Zhenjiang Mansion died immediately, and the situation in Beijing began to be unfavorable to the second prince, and the officials of the Lin family were busy saving themselves and had no time to pay attention to the related household of the Zhenjiang prefect, who had no time to find someone to take over the post of magistrate. Tao Jiong was transferred after his term of office, and he was moved to Zhenjiang through the Ministry of Officials to take over as the pusher, and the situation suddenly became variable.
