Hua Feng took the portrait and looked at it, shook his head and said, "This person is alive, I really haven't seen it." Lao Lin, have you seen it? ”

The housekeeper took it, shook his head after pondering for a while, and said, "I haven't seen it." ”

"According to the confessions of the two middlemen, Mazi was connected with them at the Changsheng gambling house."

"The gambling house is full of people coming and going every day, and our people may not be able to pay attention to it." Hua Feng asked for the details again, and said in a deep voice: "It was two years ago, it is estimated that it is difficult to check, but this person is very special, this portrait will be put on my side first, and I will send it to the gambling house in a while, and if there is any news, they will not be impressed, and if there is any news, I will notify you as soon as possible." ”

The goal has been achieved, Lu Tingxiu thanked him and got up to say goodbye, and left with Xia Qiu.

As soon as she walked out of the living room, Jin Hua hurriedly walked in, "Master, young master, he is on a hunger strike." ”

Hua Feng slapped the table angrily, "What kind of moth is he doing?" ”

"Young master, he ...... He ......" Jinhua turned her head to look at Xia Qiu who was far away, and said, "I am guilty of lovesickness." ”

"What kind of woman does he want he can't find?" Hua Feng was even more angry, and said angrily: "I have to hang myself on that crooked neck." ”

Jin Hua lowered her head and snorted, "The young master doesn't like the current Miss Xia anymore." ”

Hua Feng was stunned for a moment, and then said with disdain: "I know that this stinky boy is half-hearted, which one does he like this time?" ”

He ...... He likes Miss Xia in the past, she can't get out of the horns, she hasn't eaten for two meals, the master should go over and persuade him, I'm afraid that the young master will find a short-term view. ”

Hua Feng was speechless, what do you mean by a summer girl who likes the past?

He likes it, it's obviously sick!

"He loves to die, and my Hua family doesn't have him as an unfilial son." is so fat, Bai Aya can't stand him, don't be afraid.

After leaving Washington, Xia Qiu said, "Hua Feng, this person is suspicious." ”

"He is a cunning fox, and it is not easy to catch him as evidence, but judging from his attitude towards the government, the mustard is very deep."

After the fall of the Wu family, the Hua family is the biggest beneficiary, it stands to reason that the government should not be so perfunctory, the richest man cried and donated three hundred taels, then the other business gentry are estimated to be on par with the Hua family, and it is not easy to raise enough money to see a doctor for the laborers.

Lu Tingxiu is thin-skinned, and this kind of errand is naturally handed over to Master Yang.

Master Yang has been depressed for a long time for recruiting a son-in-law, and now it has basically been finalized. The officialdom of Lin County is no longer as good as before, blatantly working against the magistrate, and grass has grown on the grave. The businessman is cunning and profitable, the matter of donations is tricky, and this rabble has always been close to Wang Xiancheng, and now is a good opportunity to take over.

Who knows, Master Yang took advantage of the excitement and left, but returned in defeat.

He blushed his face, and in front of Lu Tingxiu, he scolded the merchant gentry for insulting Sven.

He visited several merchant gentry, all of whom spat heavily, couldn't make ends meet, lost money by selling grain and blood, and his son was a loser, and the reasons were endless, and he couldn't wait for you to give him money.

Master Yang is not a good master, and with his three-inch tongue, he still asked for something back.

There are calligraphy and paintings, jade wrenches, grain, etc., in short, most of them are worthless, and they are clearly beating the face of the government.

The fall of the Wu family has cleared the filth of the business world, and the business gentry have benefited from it, plus most of them wanted to befriend Lu Tingxiu before, but now they suddenly have a cold attitude, which is really incomprehensible.

Among them, there are many articles.

Xia Qiu went to Tianbaolou privately to find Boss Zhang, wanting to set up inside information.

Boss Zhang's business has been booming recently, and he donated 200 taels generously without saying a word.

Knowing Xia Qiu's intention, he readily agreed to explore the news of his peers.

About an hour or so, Boss Zhang came back, and said with a pondering face: "Miss Xia guessed right, sure enough, someone is fanning the wind behind her back, saying that the government has no intentions, and once the matter of donation is opened, I am afraid that there will be a habit in the future, and even the lion will open his mouth, so the business gentry are afraid." ”

Xia Qiu said urgently: "Have you asked who that person is?" ”

Boss Zhang shook his head, "I inquired on the side, but they refused to say more, just that someone came to pass the word." ”

It seems that the people behind the manipulation are not only familiar with the business gentry, but also ponder their minds thoroughly.

Many business gentry in Lin County have received mysterious rumors, but they have no good relationship with Lu Tingxiu or Xia Qiu, which shows that the leading person behind them knows their relationship well.

This person secretly instigated the workers and their families to sit in and demonstrate, and now they are hindering the business gentry from doing good to help the poor.

Oh, no matter how deep the fox's tail is hidden, there will be a day when it will show its head.

This person is already about to come out.

If he really gets the real hammer, it will give people a headache, and he does things without revealing anything, which is a hundred times more difficult to deal with than Wu Tongxing.

When Lu Tingxiu heard this, he put down his pen and ink, and pondered in silence.

What's more tricky is that if the government fails to properly handle the mine case, the people will question the prestige of the government, and the gentry will gradually move closer to Hua Feng and become a pawn to be used.

Lu Tingxiu summoned Wei Ge and whispered a few words in a low voice, and Wei Ge went out to do something "um".

After Xia Qiu hurriedly ran forward, Lu Tingxiu said with relief: "Things will always be resolved, you don't have to worry, go back and rest early, the Xia family is estimated to be enough for you to be annoyed, if you need the government to come forward, just speak." ”

When it came to his lips, Lu Tingxiu said it first, Xia Qiu was convinced of his ability, but he didn't say anything more, and said before leaving: "If you really need money, just tell me." "It's not much, but let's solve the urgent needs first, and then talk about it in two months.

Lu Tingxiu, "I want to eat chicken tonight." ”

"Okay, I'll do it for you." Xia Qiu agreed, "You come back early." ”

After a bad day, Xia and Qiu were in a gloomy mood, but when they left the county office, they saw people coming to the yamen with things one after another.

They came to donate, a few catties of rice and noodles and half a basket of vegetables to the government to give porridge to the seriously ill laborers.

The people were not rich, but they gave generously to do good.

Xia Qiu suddenly became enlightened, and felt that everything Lu Tingxiu did was worth it, and most people still had a conscience.

Back at the house, it was already sunset, and the shopkeeper Hong in the Hanging Pot Hall had been waiting for a long time.

The Xia family has more than 20 people, and it is unlikely that they want to rent a suitable yard in a short time, they pick and choose the house rented by the shopkeeper Hong, and they also open their mouths to ask for money, as if they are the owners of a large family, and they are all kinds of arrogant, turning around to inquire about Xia Qiu's business, obviously wanting to get involved in encroachment.

Shopkeeper Hong is not used to losing his conscience, so he specially reminded the owner to guard against it.

People's hearts are not enough to swallow elephants, Xia Qiu is not the master who allows people to bully, "Shopkeeper Hong, no matter how they make trouble, never let them step into the hospital for half a step, if they dare to make trouble, just report to the official." ”

Shopkeeper Hong nodded, and then said another thing, "Although those laborers were transferred and resettled by the government, they named them to be diagnosed by the divine doctor. With so many people, Tu Lao can't bear it, and their behavior today is inappropriate, and Tu Lao is reluctant to go to the doctor. ”

"They are instigated and used by others, and they do things recklessly, and I don't agree with the master to go to the doctor, but he can give prescriptions." Since the master went out of the mountain, how many peers have been in the business of the hanging pot restaurant, and there are many people who secretly make it bad, and want to take this opportunity to do things that harm others and themselves.

Shopkeeper Hong knew her scruples, "Okay, then I declare to the outside world that Tu Lao is unwell and should not go to the doctor." ”

In fact, Xia Qiu's biggest worry is not that his peers are jealous, but that he is afraid that the mastermind behind the scenes will attack the master.

Whether it is arsenic poison in the present or puppet corpse poison in the future, the master has high hopes and cannot afford any mistakes.
