I was divorced because I got pregnant during the lean years, so I went back to my parents’ home and

Ji Xiaobei looked back at the old lady and said casually, "It's still hot, Grandma Fu, don't you want to try it?"

The old lady showed a surprised expression, swallowed her saliva that had been stored for a long time and said, "Really? Can we eat now?"

"Sure, I've eaten them all!"

"Ah good……"

After being allowed, the old lady rubbed her hands on the white cloth twice, picked up a piece of duck meat and put it in her mouth.

"Good, delicious..." The old lady ate so much that her teeth were showing.

After taking a few bites, the old lady put it down.

She muttered to herself, "I haven't eaten so much in a long time. Grandfather Chang'er won the battle, and when we came back from the frontier, I became the wife of Fu's mansion, and then the old lady..."

Only when I am with Rungao can I let go of the burden of being a lady and laugh and eat as much as I want. When I go out, I am the lady of the huge Fu family and I have to follow the rules..."

The old lady kept muttering about her and her husband Run Gao all the way, and Ji Xiaobei listened to some of it intermittently.

I thought to myself: The old lady and De Rungao have such a good relationship!

She really wanted to know if Rungao had any concubines or anything like that.

Hahahaha, everyone has a gossipy heart.

When Ji Xiaobei was thinking about it, she suddenly saw a familiar shadow.

Indigo!

Ji Xiaobei turned around to look at the old lady.

The old lady was holding two baskets of roast duck, leaning against the cushion, and fell asleep in her dream with a satisfied look on her face.

Mrs. Huang said that Landian was a bad-mouthed girl and would curse every time she passed by the door.

Ji Xiaobei has never encountered this before, otherwise he would not let this girl have an easy time.

The carriage was still the familiar carriage, the one that Mrs. Gui often took when going out.

Landian got off the carriage, and the carriage went to wait under a big tree nearby.

She looked left and right, then headed into a small alley.

Seeing how sneaky she was just now, I thought she wasn't doing anything bad!

"Girl, we meet again, is this really fate?"

An old voice sounded from behind the donkey cart.

Ji Xiaobei turned around: Why is it her?

The hunchbacked old woman I met in the toilet that time, it's true we meet each other all over the world, and I just need you.

"It's quite fate!" Ji Xiaobei looked at the old woman in ragged clothes and said, "Mother-in-law, go follow that maid and see where she goes."

"Following?" the old woman asked, rubbing her hands.

Ji Xiaobei understood and took out some change from his pocket and handed it to the hunchbacked old woman.

The old woman smiled with wrinkles on her face and walked quickly towards the alley.

After a while, Landian came out, got on the carriage and left.

The hunchbacked old woman also came out.

"Girl, there is a medicine shop in the alley. The girl went to the medicine shop."

The hunchbacked old lady said.

How could a pharmacy be opened in such a remote place? Who can find it?" Ji Xiaobei said casually.

The hunchbacked woman smiled and said, "I can tell from the look of your eyes that you are ignorant of worldly affairs. Can a medicine store like this be a legitimate one?"

"Ah?" Ji Xiaobei asked naively.

The hunchbacked old woman came closer and said something.

Ji Xiaobei: Ah, haha, a place that sells medicine, that’s it!

But who should Landian buy the medicine for?

There is only one young woman in Fu Mansion, Mrs. Gui.

Judging from their physique, those two are quite strong even without taking those medicines.

"Girl, that place is a mess. Pimps, beggars, people from the pharmacy, people from the brothel, madams, and pimps all hang out in that dirty place..."

The old woman gave Ji Xiaobei some knowledge.

Ji Xiaobei: Ah, I’ve learned a lot!

Before leaving, the hunchbacked old lady pulled Ma Debiao's reins and said reluctantly: "Girl, if you want to get some news in the future, come to Nanjiao Market to find me. I usually pick up rags there..."

Only then did Ji Xiaobei realize that they had just passed by the Nanjiao Market.

Ji Xiaobei suddenly remembered that the Rui family in South City was looking for their child.

She asked the hunchbacked old lady to find out what was going on.

The old lady's eyes sparkled as she said, "Leave it to me. I'll be able to find out the truth for you within three days."

Ji Xiaobei took out some change and gave it to the old lady.

"I got the news, where can I find a girl?"

"Five days later, I'll go to Nanjiao Market to find you!"

After saying that, Ji Xiaobei took Ma Debiao away.

.

In the past few days, all the news reported by Xujiu was good news.

Fu Jichang is a very open-minded person.

The old lady is much healthier now.

Nanny Zhang, Ah Huang and Xiao Mei were all sent to a farm in the suburbs.

Heita had already told the owner of the manor to place the three of them in a separate yard and not allow anyone else to approach them.

When you are free, you will come to deal with them.

Zhuangzi's housekeeper is a shrewd man. Madam Gui had someone remind him once, and the young master also sent a message.

These three people were very important. He dared neither neglect nor flatter them, and treated them with extreme caution.

Madam Gui replaced all the servants in the yard and bought new ones.

The two coachmen stayed behind.

Fu Jichang raised his eyebrows and tapped the table lightly with his fingers.

"Black Tower, is there any other news from Xu Yu?"

Fu Jichang asked.

“It hasn’t been reported yet!”

Black Tower Road.

Fu Jichang said slowly: "The time has not come yet!"

Heita didn't know what his master was thinking.

He couldn't guess what his master was thinking.

Anyway, he does whatever his master tells him to do.

"There should be news soon!"

Fu Jichang said something without any context.

Black Tower: ...

A servant knocked on the door and said, "Zhizhou Liang asks Fu Tongpan to go to the back hall."

Zhizhou Liang has been in Anzhou for two years.

An official of flowing water, an official of world guard.

In one year, Liang Zhizhou's term will expire and he will leave Anzhou.

Liang Zhizhou is a cautious person. In the two years since he came to Anzhou, he has made no achievements or mistakes in his political career and has always been very cautious in protecting himself.

He will never cause trouble unless he is asked to do so.

After Fu Jichang arrived, he began to investigate the grain tax affairs of several county governments under Anzhou Prefecture.

Liang Zhizhou was somewhat wary of Fu Jichang's identity.

Even though I didn't want to do it, I had no choice but to check it out.

The officials of the Great Northern Dynasty were all guarding their own little plots, and not many of them took the initiative to do things.

This was even more true for the officials in the county government. They protected each other and the situation was complicated. It was very difficult and stressful for Fu Jichang to advance his work.

Fu Jichang lived in a small courtyard called Mingxuan Courtyard, located to the east of the back hall of the government office.

Liang Zhizhou's family lived in a large courtyard to the west of the back hall, called Dingxuanyuan.

On weekdays, official business is handled in the back hall.

As soon as Fu Jichang arrived at the moon-shaped door in the back hall, he saw a girl walking towards him, chatting and laughing with a maid who was holding a food box in her hand.

After seeing Fu Jichang from afar, they immediately quieted down.

Liang Yuyao stopped and bowed slightly, saying, "Greetings, Judge Fu!"
