Although the proprietor behind their imperial dining house was the county magistrate, the imperial court had a rule that officials were not allowed to compete with the people for profit, that is, officials were not allowed to do business.

On the surface, everyone naturally abides by it, but there are more officials doing business in private.

Officials themselves are not able to come forward, so they let their domestic slaves and family members take care of it, and the officials then use their power to open the back door to their own business.

That's what Cai Kuo, the county magistrate, did.

It's just that this kind of thing can't be said, and Cai Kuo can't clearly support the Imperial Dining Building, otherwise, Cai Fu can directly rely on the momentum of the county order to snatch the chili peppers, where is there such trouble?

But this time, Cai Fu didn't see Zhao Xiaoxian's people at all.

Xue Wu was too lazy to deal with the people in the imperial dining building, so she avoided it directly, and was received by the housekeeper.

"It's really unfortunate that our girl just went out, and she didn't tell when she would come back. Why don't you come back another day? ”

Cai Fupi didn't smile, "That's really unfortunate." It's okay, I'm just waiting here, there's no way Miss Zhao won't come back all the time, right? ”

Chen Tianxin said, that is really possible, after all, their girl is elusive, and no one knows when she will go out and come back.

"This little one really doesn't know, the girl doesn't see the head and tail of the dragon on weekdays, but the little housekeeper sometimes can't see her face for three or five days."

The implication is that if you can wait here for three or five days, maybe you will be able to wait for our girl.

"Miss Zhao is really busy, I, the shopkeeper of the Imperial Dining Building, came to see her in person, but I couldn't see her people. It seems that there is another way for me to invite her to the door. ”

Cai Fu stared at Chen Tian meaningfully, got up and left.

Chen Tian didn't seem to understand, and kept sending him out with an apologetic smile, until he saw Cai Fu get into the sedan chair, and the business smile on his face was put away, and his expression was a little solemn.

"Another way to invite me to the door?" Xue Wu listened to Chen Tian's report, but smiled, "Okay, I'll wait." ”

Chen Tian said worriedly: "Girl, the person behind the Imperial Dining House is the county order, what if the county commander deliberately finds an excuse to arrest you into the county office?" ”

Xue Wu looked calm, "You don't have to worry about this, if the county order really does this, then you will go to Ye Shaodong's house." ”

Chen Tian should come down, but he was still worried in his heart.

Two days later, what he feared came true.

A team of officials couldn't help but say that they broke into the house, saying that they were arresting the absconding criminals.

The person who led the team is called Bao Ming, and his position is one level lower than Guan Yue, but he is also a small leader, and there are more than a dozen people under his hands, this person is Cai Kuo placed in the Wei Division, and Cai Kuo has some things that are not easy to come forward on weekdays, and he usually lets this Bao Ming do it.

After all, Guan Yue is the second-in-command in the Wei Division, and he has an important position, so it is impossible for him to run errands often.

Chen Tian looked at a group of wolf-like subordinates wreaking havoc everywhere in the house, and his face was bitter, "My lord, where are there any criminals in our house, are you mistaken?" ”

While quietly stuffing a money bag, he went over.

Bao Ming didn't shy away from it, he directly poured out the money in the money bag and checked it in the palm of his hand, "Such a little money, it's called Huazi!" Search for me! The criminals must be hiding here! ”

Seeing those yali rushing towards the inner courtyard, at this time, Xue Wu appeared.

Ah Man followed behind her, glaring at those yali angrily, his fingers rattling.

"Yo? This is Miss Zhao, right? I've admired the name for a long time. ”

Bao Ming's clothes are loose and crooked, not upright, as if he can look particularly chic and handsome, but in fact, he looks like a second-rate person.

Xue Wu ignored him, and said to Ah Man first: "Stop those people." ”

Ah Man had already been gearing up, and now he got her orders, and immediately rushed over and threw those yali out one by one.

Bao Ming's face changed, "You dare to move the people of the government?" What a daring! ”

"People from the government? How to prove it? Do you have a search warrant? Trespassing on people's homes without a search warrant, and I say you are robbers! ”

"Listen, these girls actually say that we are robbers?" Bao Ming pointed at Xue Wu, as if he had heard a big joke, and the other officials also laughed.

Xue Wu's face remained unchanged, and she did not have the slightest sense of being ridiculed.

Bao Ming's face suddenly sank, "You're blind!" Which bandit have you ever seen wear this garment on our bodies? ”

"Who knows where you got it from, if you don't have a search warrant, then I'll have to deal with you as trespassers. Butler—"

Chen Tian immediately beckoned a group of people over, and everyone had a guy in their hands, or a kitchen knife, or a hoe, or a stick, in short, they were all the same.

Xue Wu nodded with satisfaction.

It was the first time Bao Ming had met such a tough person in front of him, in the past, ordinary people only had to admit when they saw him, where did they want to get such a search warrant? Not to mention doing it against them.

However, it is a fact that they broke in without a search warrant, and they did not take advantage of it when they said it today.

But if they thought he was going to leave, she would be naïve.

Today, he is following the instructions of the county magistrate, can this Zhao Xiaoxian just get the county magistrate?

"Zhao Xiaoxian, don't play tricks with me, get acquainted with each other, and follow us obediently, otherwise, the county magistrate will start a fire on the side, but it is not something that you can withstand as a little businesswoman. When the time comes, don't say that you will do business in Fengchi County, you won't even be able to step into the city gate! ”

This is already a clear threat.

Xue Wu's face instantly became extremely ugly, of course, most of her pretended to be the dogleg of this county order.

Seeing this, Bao Ming thought she was scared, and smiled more and more proudly, "How about Miss Zhao?" Have you figured it out? ”

Ah Man said worriedly: "Girl, you can't go with them!" Even if they want to go, the slaves and maids will go with them! ”

She hugged Xue Wu's arm and didn't let go.

Chen Tian and the others also looked at it worriedly.

Bao Ming looked at the master and servant next to each other, and smiled meaninglessly, "The little girl is quite spicy, since you are so affectionate to the master and servant, then take it away together!" ”

"Wait! It's me you're going to take away, and it's none of me to do it. If you insist on implicating others, then I, Zhao Xiaoxian, am not a vegetarian. ”

Xue Wu looked directly at Bao Ming, and the threat in her words was obvious.

Bao Ming stared at her for a while, snorted coldly, and acquiesced.

Ah Man wanted to say something, but was stopped by Xue Wu, she touched her head: "Wait for me to come back, I will be fine." ”

In this way, Xue Wu was escorted away by a group of yali, and before leaving, she glanced at Chen Tian.

Chen Tian understood and nodded imperceptibly.

When she arrived at the county office, Xue Wu was taken to a room alone, it was dark inside, and she couldn't see anything clearly when she first entered, but after a while, her eyes got used to the darkness and she could roughly see the situation inside.
