I'm just a swineherd, not a beastmaster.

Zhao Muxin and the woman hugged each other and cried for a long time, making Yuan Feng look very stupid holding the hairpin.

The two cried for a long time before the woman realized there was someone standing next to them.

"Who is this?"

"Aunt, this is Brother Feng. He was the one who saved me. If it weren't for Brother Feng, Xin'er wouldn't have had the chance to meet you."

"So you're Xin'er's savior. I'm Xin'er's aunt Zhao Cuiping. If you don't mind, just follow Xin'er and call me aunt."

"Hehe, hello, my name is Yuan Feng."

Zhao Cuiping enthusiastically pulled Yuan Feng and said, "Since you are Xin'er's savior, please come to my house and let me prepare a banquet on Xin'er's behalf to thank you."

"No need to bother." Yuan Feng waved his hand.

"It's not a bother, it's not a bother." Zhao Cuiping turned to the maid and said, "A Xiu, quickly pay for the hairpin. How can we ask a benefactor to pay for it?"

"No need, I've paid." Yuan Feng said a little embarrassedly.

"Oh, how can you let your benefactor pay for it? Let's go to my house and let me, your aunt, compensate your benefactor."

Unable to resist Zhao Cuiping's enthusiasm, Yuan Feng had to follow her. On the other hand, he was worried about Zhao Muchin and wanted to send her home safely.

The woman Zhao Cuiping's home is a luxurious mansion, and it is obvious that she is either rich or noble.

"My master is the Minister of the Dali Temple of the imperial court. He is not a high-ranking official, so the house is a bit shabby. Please don't mind, benefactor." Zhao Cuiping said as she walked.

Yuan Feng knew the position of Dali Temple Minister. It was a third-rank official in the imperial court and was already a very high official. When Zhao Cuiping said this, Yuan Feng always felt that she was being Versailles.

"A third-rank official is not small at all. Auntie is really modest." Yuan Feng said with a smile.

"Hahaha, my benefactor is really good at talking." Zhao Cuiping laughed and shouted to the house, "Ze'er, come out and greet the distinguished guest."

"My benefactor, I'll let my son entertain you. Xin'er and I haven't seen each other for a long time. Let's go to the room and talk."

Yuan Feng glanced at Zhao Muxin, whose eyes were filled with tears, and nodded: "Okay, you guys go."

"Who is it?" A handsome man came out and stared at Zhao Muxin for a moment, "Who is this?"

"Silly child, this is your cousin Xin'er."

"Cousin?" Lu Guangze narrowed his eyes. "So it's my cousin. Such a big thing happened in your family. Are you okay?"

"Cousin, I'm fine." Zhao Muxin wiped her tears.

"Come to think of it, we haven't seen each other for several years, and you've grown up." Lu Guangze walked over and noticed Yuan Feng standing next to him. "Who is this?"

"This is Xin'er's benefactor." Zhao Cuiping explained.

"So you are my benefactor brother. Come on, prepare the banquet." Lu Guangze waved his hand. "My father is busy with official duties and is not at home. I will prepare the banquet. Don't mind it, my benefactor brother."

"No need for a banquet, just a simple meal will do."

"That won't do. Come on, you are a guest here, so listen to my instructions."

Under Lu Guangze's arrangement, the banquet began soon.

Just him and Yuan Feng, the whole table of food seemed so dry.

After three rounds of drinking, Lu Guangze wanted to persuade Yuan Feng to drink more, but Yuan Feng had other things to do, so he could only refuse.

"I have to go do some work later, so I really can't drink any more."

"Don't be polite. Drink as much as you can. If you don't drink, tell others and let them laugh at our Lu family for not being kind enough to give our benefactor enough wine."

Yuan Feng frowned and was about to refuse again when a servant ran in and whispered something in Lu Guangze's ear.

Then Lu Guangze was delighted and said to Yuan Feng, "My benefactor, a friend of mine is here. I'll go talk to him. You eat first."

Once Lu Guangze left, Yuan Feng was left alone, and things became even drier.

We've had three rounds of drinks and there's nothing left to eat.

Yuan Feng waited for a while, then stood up, planning to say hello to Zhao Muxin and then leave.

Although the Lu family was welcoming, Yuan Feng always felt uncomfortable and didn't want to stay here any longer.

As for Zhao Muxin, according to the original agreement, she would be allowed to live with her relatives if she could find them.

Yuan Feng was reluctant to let her stay, but all good things must come to an end, so he had to let her stay.

As soon as I went out, I saw Zhao Cuiping's maid Aqiu jogging towards me.

"My benefactor, where are you going?"

"Me? I'm going to find Mu Xin and say goodbye to her." Yuan Feng said frankly.

"This..." Aqiu hesitated to speak.

"What's wrong? Is there any problem?"

"Ms. Mu Xin is crying hard now and says she doesn't want to see her benefactor."

"Is that so? Then I won't go. Please say goodbye to her for me and tell her that I will be going home in two days."

"Okay." A Qiu nodded. "Hey, benefactor, wait a minute. My wife has prepared some silver as a thank you gift for you."

"No need for a thank-you gift, I've already eaten the meal." Yuan Feng patted his belly and walked out of the Lu Mansion with a confident look.

He helped Zhao Muxin in the first place not for money, but now that he has taken the money, things have become tainted.

Taking advantage of darkness, he headed straight for Donglin, the edge of the capital.

The purpose of finding an inn was to take care of Zhao Muchin. Now that Zhao Muchin has a home, there is no need for Yuan Feng to stay in the inn anymore. It would be better to finish his business early and go home early.

Without Zhao Muxin's help, Yuan Feng was really worried about leaving the family business in Hu Jiuer's hands.

To the east is a small county town on the edge of the capital.

It was not rich because it was near the capital. Instead, it was very poor, even worse than Ping'an County.

You have to know that Ping'an County is not far from the front line of the unrest, and it is even poorer than Ping'an County, which shows how bad the situation in Donglin is.

Along the way, what Yuan Feng saw most were beggars sleeping in the corners, and in the dark night, there were also many thieves wandering around.

Yuan Feng came here to look for someone, not to catch a thief, so even if he saw him, he ignored him.

According to the address given by Feng Shaotian, Yuan Feng did not see the so-called Qiu family, but he did see a beggars' den.

Yuan Feng found an old beggar who was drunk. When he was about to wake him up, he noticed a pair of cloudy eyes staring at him.

The old beggar did not sleep, which saved him trouble.

"Old man." Yuan Feng took out an ingot of silver.

I thought the old beggar would be grateful, but unexpectedly he slammed the silver on the ground with disdain.

"Old beggar, I'm closed at night."

Hey... Yuan Feng has also learned something new. There is also a saying that beggars are closed at night.

In order to get things done, he could only patiently say, "Old man, this is not alms, it's a reward for finding out about something."

"Oh?" The old beggar perked up and crawled over to pick up the silver. "So I want my silver, but I can't answer what you want to know, so you can't take the silver back."

"Don't worry, the silver is yours now. I just want to ask, do you know the Donglin Qiu family?"

"know."

"Where?" Yuan Feng was delighted.

The old beggar extended his hand toward Yuan Feng.

Yuan Feng was confused: "What does this mean?"

"Where is the second question."

The old beggar is also a profiteer... Yuan Feng rubbed his temple.

"Old man, let's make a deal. For the second question, I can give you the silver again, but if you say something wrong, I will take it back."

"Why so much nonsense? Bring it here."

The old beggar shook his hands. Yuan Feng had a request from him, so he had no choice but to put the silver on it.

"The Qiu family you are looking for, is it the Qiu family that makes pills?"

"Yeah!" Yuan Feng nodded quickly.

"Far away, yet so close."

"Here? Where are the Qiu family?"

The old beggar held out his hand again.

Yuan Feng couldn't stand it anymore and held his hand: "You are kidding me, right?"

"If you don't give me money, I won't tell you."

"You won't say it, right?"

Yuan Feng punched the old beggar twice and turned him into a panda.

The old beggar was beaten so hard that he wailed.

"Oh, there are bad guys who even beat beggars."

"Will you tell me or not? If not, I'll keep hitting you!"

"Say, say, I say!"

Yuan Feng blew on his fist...This thing is more useful than money.
