"If the daughter of the rich merchant marries into his house, she can only be a concubine."

"That woman has some knowledge, and she wants to enter Beijing to study and become a female official in the capital in the future."

"Her family also supported her plan, so she was not in a hurry to let her daughter get married, and the merchant surnamed Xu sent someone to propose marriage, but the merchant refused."

"The merchant surnamed Xu was very indignant when he saw that the merchant did not intend to marry his daughter to him, so he sent a group of ruffians and hooligans to arrest the young lady while she was going up the mountain to make incense."

"We were also preparing to go up the mountain to make incense on that day, and on the way we saw that the young lady had been caught by a few ruffians, and immediately came forward to help."

"That young lady is a daughter's family, and she is still a daughter's family who has not left the cabinet, and if she is caught by a few ruffians, her reputation will definitely be affected."

"We also thought about this young lady, so we came forward to help, but after we rescued that young lady, those ruffians went back and told Xu Shang about it."

"After Xu Shang found out, he was very indignant, thinking that we had taken a fancy to that young lady and wanted to rob him."

Speaking of this, several young people sighed with embarrassment, they shook their heads silently, and did not continue to say anything.

Chen Mu heard those young people say this, and he also understood the reason.

The merchant surnamed Xu was already suppressed and had nowhere to vent his anger when he was in the sand of the young lady's family.

The ruffians who were sent out to find trouble with that young lady failed, and they were disturbed by these young people, so they naturally felt resentful in their hearts.

And because these young men did not bring him benefits at the first time when they first came to this town, they begged him to take care of it.

The merchant surnamed Xu was even more determined that these young people wanted to find trouble for themselves, so he targeted these young people.

It's just that just referring to these little things is enough for the merchant surnamed Xu to send someone to set fire to this restaurant today?

This thought flashed through Chen Mu's mind, and he frowned.

He glanced in the direction of Lord He.

After all, it was not only those merchants who settled in this restaurant, but also Lord He and him.

Lord He noticed Chen Mu's gaze and immediately understood what Chen Mu meant.

He pondered for a moment, then arched his hand at Chen Mu and said.

"My lord, I came to this restaurant through the back door of this restaurant, after all, I am meeting with these merchants."

"I'm also worried that if other merchants in town see me meeting with these merchants in private, they'll gossip behind their backs."

"It affects the reputation of these merchants, so I don't make too much publicity."

"Maybe the people who did it behind their backs didn't notice that I was in this restaurant, and if they knew I was in this restaurant, they probably wouldn't have set it on fire."

Hearing the other party say this, Chen Mu immediately frowned.

It's possible, he sighed, shook his head silently, and spoke.

"In this way, it is indeed possible that the merchant surnamed Xu will do something to these young people, so you can send someone to check first."

"If it's really the merchant surnamed Xu who attacked this restaurant. It should be possible to find clues. ”

"I'll go to the government office with these young people first to wait for news, and before it gets dark, you have to find out the truth of the matter as soon as possible."

Hearing Chen Mu say this, Lord He nodded again, and after saying this, Chen Mu turned his head and glanced at the young people.

Just as he was about to take them into the carriage and rush in the direction of the mansion, Chen Mu noticed that the young men were staring at him in a daze, with a look of confusion in their eyes.

Seeing them like this, Chen Mu blinked blankly, and then immediately came back to his senses.

Wait, when I was talking to Lord He, I seemed to have inadvertently used the tone of the superior.

Lord He's attitude towards him was also extremely respectful.

These young people are afraid that they will notice that something is wrong.

When the young men saw Chen Mu looking in their direction, they immediately coughed lightly and restrained the expressions on their faces.

One of them took the initiative to step forward and spoke.

"Since...... Since you've said that, let's get to the government as soon as possible, so we don't have much to say. ”

"We ...... Let's take a carriage to the government together, this ...... This lord ...... Are you really just a merchant? I look at your identity, I'm afraid it's not simple, it's just ......"

The young man was in the middle of his sentence when his companion immediately raised his elbow and scolded him.

Seeing this, the young man silently closed his mouth, Chen Mu only smiled when he saw the young merchant like this, and he didn't say much, he said slowly.

"Let's go to the government office first to wait for news, as for my identity, I am from the capital, and it is true

Born into a wealthy family. ”

After only saying this sentence, Chen Mu didn't say much, and when the young people saw this, they looked at each other and didn't continue to say anything.

Even if he was born in a wealthy family in the capital, then the ancestors of the young man in front of him must also be in a high position.

It was normal for Naga-sama to be respectful to this young man, but this young man didn't think much about it.

Knowing that Chen Mu had been protected by his ancestors in order to be treated respectfully by Lord He, they retracted their thoughts, got into the carriage, and hurried in the direction of the mansion.

Lord He's movements were fast, and after sending people to carefully investigate the surroundings of the restaurant, he soon found a few villagers living around the restaurant.

It was learned from the villagers that before the restaurant caught fire, there were several ruffians haunting the restaurant, and Lord Naga immediately realized it.

Most of the people who hired this ruffian hooligan to attack the restaurant were indeed the Xu merchants.

After all, the only one who is close to the ruffians and hooligans in this town is the Xu merchant.

Besides, the Xu merchants still have personal enmity with those young people.

realized that it was possible that Xu Shang did something to the people in the restaurant, and Lord He did not delay.

He immediately sent people to Xu Shang's residence, arrested them, and arrested the few ruffians and hooligans who haunted the restaurant.

brought these people to the county government together, and Chen Mu and those merchants had already settled in the county office.

The county magistrate heard that Chen Mu and others were drinking in a restaurant in the town, and the restaurant was set on fire.

After seeing Chen Mu marching into the county government with people, the county magistrate immediately rushed forward, his eyes turning around Chen Mu's body.

After making sure that Chen Mu was fine, the county order finally relaxed a little, and he raised his hand and patted his chest, with a sigh of emotion.

"It's okay, it's okay, I'm okay, my lord, I'm shocked when I heard that the restaurant where you are was burned."
