Qingyu Case: Female Minister of Dali Temple

Day two.

Chenshi.

After a day and a night of rest, everyone's spirits finally recovered.

After breakfast, on the way to the second hall, looking at the still hot sun, Chan Yi felt bright. With his hands behind his back, he jumped twice on the bluestone slabs and said happily: "Finally, the Zhu family, Gu family, Fan family and Qi family have been dealt with. The remaining Ren family, Ding family, Zhou family, Hu family and Zhao family are no longer a threat. After being busy for so long, I can finally relax for a few days."

"Want to relax? It's too early." Chen Shao shook his head.

It is easy to confiscate a property, but it is difficult to clean up the mess.

The difficulty lies not in the difficulty of the matter, but in the complexity of the disease.

Chan Yi was not an ignorant person, so of course she understood what she was talking about, but she really didn't want to talk about those things that would make her head dizzy on such a cheerful morning, so she simply changed the subject and asked, "Which of the remaining Ren, Ding, Zhou, Zhao, and Hu families do you plan to deal with first, young master?"

"For the time being, we won't deal with anyone." Chen Shao ended the topic with one sentence. Before entering the second hall, he deliberately stopped and asked Li Tianliu who was lagging behind: "How long will it take for Liu Deming, Sun Qi, and Xu Xianmin to arrive?"

Liu Zizhuang and his brothers had never done anything like reassuring the people before, and she had not been able to spare the time to take care of them recently. During dinner yesterday, she asked Li Tianliu to arrange for someone to bring back several of their leaders before noon today, intending to divide the people among them and let them deploy them.

Li Tianliu said calmly: "Just arrange the work of checking the treasury and shops first."

That means it will be a while before they arrive. Chen Shao enters the second hall. Wang Cong and Liu Zizhuang are already waiting inside the second hall. Their brothers are standing outside the second hall. They were originally chattering, but when they saw them coming, they immediately fell silent.

"Miss Quan is in charge of checking the treasury and shops," Chen Shao casually asked about their rest yesterday, then looked at Wang Cong and got to the point. "You and your brothers just need to follow her instructions. I only have two requirements for you. First, you must do whatever Miss Quan tells you to do. If you think it's unreasonable, you can discuss it with her. If you can't come to a conclusion, you can come to me, but there must be no fighting. Second, you must not conflict with the people under any circumstances, even if they are at fault. As for the rest..."

Chen Shao looked at Quan Shuyu and said, "Just discuss it."

Quan Shuyu and Wang Cong all said yes.

"In addition, I have another task for you," Chen Shao looked back at Wang Cong, "Pick two of your brothers who are smart and skilled to protect Miss Quan."

Then he looked at Chan Yi, "Although the Zhu family, Gu family, Fan family and Qi family have been dealt with, there are still many things to deal with. I'm afraid you won't be free recently, so you don't have to go out with her."

Chan Yi nodded.

Wang Cong also agreed.

When they were about to leave, Liu Deming and his friends arrived. Chen Shao signaled Quan Shuyu, "Go ahead. If you encounter problems that you can't solve, you can also ask for advice from Master Wang."

Quan Shuyu nodded, and took Wang Cong and his brothers to the Wen family. Chen Shao looked at Liu Deming, Sun Qi and Xu Xianmin who entered the second hall. After nearly two months of training, the three of them gradually became tougher in both appearance and spirit. Especially Xu Xianmin, his posture was upright, and he had already faintly revealed the demeanor of being able to stand on his own. Although Liu Deming and Sun Qi were a little worse than him, they were not far behind. After a period of training, they were all talents who could be of great use.

Chen Shao nodded with satisfaction and said with a smile, "It's getting darker and darker."

The three of them looked at themselves first, then at each other. Liu Deming showed his white teeth and said, "It is true that I am getting darker, but my health is getting better. When I first followed the adults to work, I was so tired that I couldn't even lift my hands and feet every day. Sometimes I was so tired that I thought I would not live to see the next day. Now I am busy from morning to night, and it is not a problem to walk thirty or forty miles a day."

Sun Qi teased, "Your Excellency, you don't know that in order to win the first place, they immediately run to another farm after finishing one farm. Sometimes, in order to save some time, they abandon the carriage and take shortcuts over mountains and hills."

Liu Deming countered: "How dare you say that about us? Didn't we all learn from you?"

At this point, he also complained to Chen Shao: "We didn't know they were fighting so hard. One time, they took the wrong road when crossing the mountains and ended up at the farm we were in charge of. Humph, it was just a coincidence that we arrived at the farm a cup of tea earlier than them. If it had been one or two hours later, they might have taken over the farm without our knowledge."

Sun Qi laughed and scolded: "You wish!"

Chen Shao listened to their stories of 'competitiveness' and his smile deepened. After they paused, he asked, "I see that your spirits are much better than before. Tell me, how is the Zhu family's farm being handled?"

Liu Deming replied: "We have already dealt with half of them. In another seven or eight days, we should be able to deal with all of them."

"Not bad." Chen Shao praised and asked, "Did you encounter any trouble?"

Liu Deming looked at Sun Qi and Xu Xianmin. Xu Xianmin also showed his white teeth and said, "I encountered a lot of trouble, but I solved them all."

"The Gu family, the Fan family, and the Qi family have also been dealt with," Chen Shao said with a smile, "They also have quite a few farms. In order to return those fields to the people as soon as possible, I have found a helper for you."

Liu Deming, Sun Qi and Xu Xianmin immediately followed her gaze and looked at Liu Zizhuang standing beside her.

The three did not know Liu Zizhuang.

Chen Shao briefly introduced Liu Zizhuang's identity to them, and then said to Liu Zizhuang: "There are three groups of people dealing with those manors, and the leaders of the three groups are these three, Liu Deming, Sun Qi, and Xu Xianmin. They are all students who have been working with me since I came to Hongyuan County."

Liu Zizhuang folded his hands towards the three people and said, "Please give me more guidance in the future!"

The three of them quickly clasped their hands in return.

After getting to know each other and exchanging a few pleasantries, Chen Shao looked outside the second hall and asked Liu Zizhuang: "How many brothers do you have?"

Liu Zizhuang was inspired by the interesting stories shared by Liu Deming and others, and was ready to make a move. He immediately replied, "There are 117 people."

"One hundred and seventeen people, if divided into three groups, there will be exactly thirty-nine people in each group." Chen Shao thought as he said, "How to divide it, you can decide it yourself later. I only have three requirements: First, absolutely obey their arrangements. If you have different opinions, you can consult with them. If the discussion cannot solve the problem, you can also send a representative back to me, but you cannot fight or form gangs to engage in internal strife; second, no matter what happens, you cannot conflict with the people, even if they are at fault; third, if the people ask you for help, as long as it is not illegal or criminal, you should help as much as you can within your ability. You can discuss all other matters."

Liu Zizhuang folded his hands and said yes.

Chen Shao looked at Liu Deming and the other two again, and said in a friendly manner: "The command power is given to you, and the responsibility is also given to you. I will not stop you from competing with each other, but the premise of the competition is that you must protect your body."

The three of them also said yes.

"Okay." Chen Shao softened his tone and instructed Chan Yi, "Go and get them 100 taels of silver each."

Chan Yi nodded, turned around and went to Chengfengyuan to get the silver.

After getting the silver back and distributing it to them one by one, Chen Shao watched their backs as they walked away. He slowed down, stood up and walked towards the gate.

There was a strong smell of blood around the gate.

It should be because too many people have been killed in the past two days.

Outside the gate, there were still many small stalls and vendors, bustling with stalls set up a long distance away. Looking at the flow of people passing through the small stalls and vendors, Chen Shao slowly walked out. After chatting with the vendors nearby for a while, he slowly stood in front of the notice wall, looked at the evidence of the Gu family's crimes still posted on it, and turned back to Chan Yi and said, "Post the evidence of the Wen family, Gu family, Fan family, and Qi family's crimes later."

Chan Yi nodded.

After Chen Shao looked at the evidence for a while, he turned around and saw Ma San and Zhang Ka cleaning the streets. He stopped and signaled Chan Yi: "Go call them over!"

Just as Chan Yi was about to move, Li Tianliu went ahead.
