Although he felt that the previous glance was just his own illusion, it was a fact that Du Rongzhi was not in high interest today. So at dinner in the evening, Song Zixun specially found a topic that Du Rongzhi was interested in to start.

"When I came back from Hanlin Academy today, I happened to meet King Yi - he mentioned the matter of the rice shop." He spoke slowly.

Du Rongzhi's ears immediately stood up.

It's been months since I talked about this—

Because the Hexing rice shop managed by Han Chunsheng in the previous life suffered a fire and suffered heavy losses, Du Rongzhi reminded them early in the morning and early in the morning this time: The weather has been dry recently, and it is necessary to do a good job of inspecting and preventing fire. She originally wanted to avoid the fire this year and avoid unnecessary losses, but she didn't want to discover the truth about the fire in the rice shop in her previous life - it was not a natural disaster, but someone deliberately set it on fire.

It was a few idle local ruffians who set the fire, and after being caught red-handed, they all confessed: they had always taken care of all the shops and stalls in the area, and in return, these shops and even the vendors had to pay a certain amount of money on time every month as a hardship fee for their efforts. But this Han Chunsheng alone, relying on his own backstage, never paid protection money, not to mention, recently tried to incite several nearby merchants to unite and fight them to the end.

These scoundrels already had a grudge against Han Chunsheng, and now they are even more vicious, so they took advantage of the dark moon and the high wind to gang up to give him some color to see.

The cause of the fire in the previous life came to light, and the rice shop did not suffer any losses, which was a good thing that everyone was happy about, but he didn't want Han Zonghao to secretly pay attention to himself - he now has seen more of the world outside, and he also has his own connections, and he actually found out that the leaders of these ruffians have a good relationship with the shopkeeper of Changlong Rice Shop.

However, it is said that these two rice shops are open on the same street, Hexing is on the street, and Changlong is at the end of the street.

The two shops are almost the same in terms of size, seniority, or the type, quantity, and price of rice. It's just that Han Chunsheng is gentle and kind, and it's the same when it comes to business, no matter who comes to buy rice, the weight is always high. Over time, Hexing's business is getting better and better, and even many of Changlong's old customers are willing to go a few more steps to buy rice from him.

Now that the mastermind of this arson case knows the shopkeeper of Changlong, Han Zonghao has to have another plan in his heart.

At that time, Du Rongzhi was already pregnant with Liujia, and she was recuperating in the mansion because she was injured by a vicious dog, and the father and son of the Han family didn't want her to worry more, so they did not alarm Du Rongzhi, but only sued the suspicion of this matter to the court and asked the county to investigate strictly.

However, although the county magistrate of Qingping County inquired about it, in the end, on the grounds of insufficient evidence, ignored the appeals of the Han family father and son, and only took into custody a few scoundrels who intended to set the fire, waiting for the autumn to be dealt with according to the law, and ordered their families to take out some money and silk for compensation.

So far, what else does Han Chunsheng's father and son not understand? I know that there is a good chance that this Qingping County Order has been bought out, and now it is just a bluff, taking the opportunity to let the real wrongdoers escape...... In desperation, I had to ask someone to come in and tell Du Rongzhi about it.

Du Rongzhi couldn't think of any effective way for a while, not to mention that she was pregnant now, even if she didn't, she couldn't do anything at all - Changlong Rice Shop was an industry under the name of Prince Yi. But if you don't do anything, this time it's already arson, and who knows what the next time will be? After thinking about it, he finally had to bite the bullet and beg Song Zixun.

She also felt a little embarrassed by this opening.

Not to mention that so far, there is no direct evidence in this matter to show that these ruffians were bought, even if it can really be proved in the end - with the identity of Prince Yi, she is not sure whether Song Zixun can help herself seek justice.

In fact, Song Zixun really didn't promise her anything after hearing this, but just asked her to call Han Chunsheng's father and son to come over and talk.

Later, she vaguely heard Mama An say it a few times - it is said that somehow the housekeeper of the Yiwang Mansion was involved......

…… Today is the first time I have heard Song Zixun mention it personally.

Du Rongzhi pursed her lips. Want to ask...... I don't know where to ask.

Song Zixun sandwiched a few pieces of amber meat for her and put them in a bowl, "I'll tell you when I eat it." He smiled, "Grandmother said that you are too thin, you should raise yourself fatter, and you will have strength when you give birth." In fact, Mrs. Song's original words were that Du Rongzhi was too young and weak, and she was afraid that her firstborn child would suffer more......

Du Rongzhi answered softly, and sure enough, she ate obediently.

Song Zixun quietly suppressed the gloom in his eyes, and continued, "King Yi's meaning, although those arsonists were instigated by the housekeeper, but after all, it was caused by his lax rule, and he wanted to send Changlong to you to suppress the shock. ”

The chopsticks in Du Rongzhi's hand were stunned, and she raised her head in amazement, "Give it to me?" ”

Song Zixun nodded and asked with a smile, "What do you think?" ”

Du Rongzhi pursed her lips and hesitated, "What do you think?" Can a concubine be either? ”

"You're the owner, why did you ask about me?" Song Zixun smiled, and put another chopsticks and scallion fried mutton into Du Rongzhi's bowl, "King Yi's words are very sincere, if you don't accept it, I'm afraid that he will not be happy in his heart." ”

"The concubine understands." Du Rongzhi nodded and thought for a while, "Then this arson case—"

"Wu Dayou is afraid of the crime and absconded, and the government has already issued documents, just waiting for him to be arrested."

Du Rongzhi couldn't help but look at him.

Song Zixun also looked back.

Each read another meaning of this sentence from each other's eyes -

Steward Wu of Yiwang's Mansion...... It's impossible to catch.

After all, a human life is involved, and the atmosphere is a little heavier unconsciously.

After a long while, Du Rongzhi said softly, "This time...... I'm sorry for the trouble. ”

"Husband and wife are one, what is not troublesome." Song Zixun waved his hand, "Besides, I didn't do anything...... Seeing Du Rongzhi's eyes looking at him brightly, Song Zixun couldn't help but smile and said, "That's it...... I can't say a word about it, but it's finally settled. He paused, "If you have no objections, after a few days the settlement is clear, you can send someone over to accept it - I think your son of the shopkeeper Han is very good." ”

Du Rongzhi nodded and said thoughtfully, "Yes, it's good...... However, people are still a little out of the way, and they have to hone for a few more years. Seeing Song Zixun looking at her funny, Du Rongzhi was stunned, "Is there something wrong with the concubine?" ”

"You're right," Song Zixun smiled, "It's just that listening to your tone just now, it seems like how old you are." ”

Du Rongzhi was slightly stunned, lowered her eyes and said, "Hurry up and eat, the food is going to be cold." ”
